Attached please find the comments of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) concerning EPA's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Methylene Chloride; Commercial Paint and Coating Removal Training, Certification and Limited Access Program. 84 Fed. Reg. 11,466 (March 27, 2019)
Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA has the authority to apply a suite of regulatory tools to address unreasonable risks from chemical substances, including authority to regulate the distribution in commerce for a particular use and to regulate any manner or method of commercial use, to the extent necessary so that the chemical substance no longer presents unreasonable risk. EPA is issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public input on training, certification, and limited access requirements that could address unreasonable risks presented by chemicals. EPA is considering development of such a program for commercial paint and coating removal with methylene chloride. Such a program could allow access to paint and coating removal products containing methylene chloride only to commercial users who are certified as properly trained to engage in use practices that do not present unreasonable risks.
