Abstract

A Working Approach for Identifying Potential Candidate Chemicals for Prioritization” presents a proposed longer-term approach that EPA is considering to parse chemicals on the TSCA active inventory into “bins” based on both risk-based criteria and information availability. The binning approach is intended to help reduce the size of the pool from which the EPA will draw chemicals for potential prioritization. Its purpose is not to identify lists of high- or low-priority candidates nor is its purpose to signal that the EPA has concerns with particular chemicals or categories of chemical substances. This docket was opened to receive initial comment on this longer-term approach, which will inform its continued development and help outline a public meeting to be held in early 2019.
