EPA proposes revisions to procedures for conducting TSCA risk evaluations for existing chemicals (Framework Rule)

EPA announced a proposed rule to revise the process/procedures for conducting TSCA risk evaluations for chemicals already in commerce (existing chemicals), intended to increase efficiency and better protect health and the environment. The proposal opens a public comment period (duration described by EPA in the news release). Compliance teams should assess how potential changes could affect scope, pace, and data expectations for TSCA risk evaluations, and consider submitting comments via the associated docket if affected.
