EPA releases proposed rule to revise TSCA risk evaluation procedures for existing chemicals (Framework Rule revisions)

EPA announced a proposed rule to revise procedures for conducting TSCA risk evaluations for existing chemicals (the TSCA risk evaluation 'framework rule'). The proposal would change key elements of the risk evaluation process (e.g., how unreasonable risk determinations are made across conditions of use and how certain exposure controls/parameters are handled). Stakeholders should track Federal Register publication and consider submitting comments during the stated comment period once open.
