EPA tightens stance on confidentiality claims for chemical identities

摘要

EPA announced plans last week to take a closer look at those chemical identities claimed as confidential in TSCA section 8(e) filings, which are submitted when a company discovers a chemical may pose a substantial risk. If a chemical identity is disclosed on the public TSCA inventory, companies claiming that same information as confidential business information (CBI) in an 8(e) filing can expect EPA to throw out the claim.
