EPA Submits TSCA Risk Evaluation Guidance to OMB

The US EPA has submitted a guidance document for developing risk evaluations under TSCA to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
The document – Guidance to assist interested persons in developing and submitting draft risk evaluations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) – was submitted to the business division of the president's executive office on 13 June.
A final rule for conducting risk evaluation under the reformed TSCA is also under review at the OMB. The Lautenberg Act calls for this to be finalised by 22 June – one year after the law's passage.
The EPA did not respond to a request for more information on the guidance by our deadline.
