SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Executive Summary 
A. What action is the Agency taking? 
EPA is announcing the availability of 
and soliciting public comment on the 
document titled: ‘‘2023 Draft Risk Evaluation for Tris(2-chloroethyl) Phosphate (TCEP)’’. A letter peer review is expected to begin on March 13, 2024, and end on April 12, 2024, to review the approach and methodologies utilized in this document. A preparatory virtual public meeting will be held on March 5, 2024, for reviewers and the public to comment on and ask questions regarding the scope and clarity of the draft charge questions. 
B. What is the Agency’s authority for 
taking this action? 
Section 6(b) of the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)), requires that EPA conduct risk evaluations on existing chemical substances and identifies the minimum components EPA must include in all chemical substance risk evaluations. The risk evaluation must not consider costs or other non-risk factors (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)(iii)). The specific risk evaluation process is set out in 40 CFR part 702 and summarized on EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/ assessing-and-managing-chemicals- under-tsca/risk-evaluations-existing- chemicals-under-tsca. 
C. Does this action apply to me? 
This action is directed to the public 
in general. This action may, however, be 
of interest to those involved in the manufacture, processing, distribution, and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures, and/or those interested in the assessment of risks involving chemical substances regulated under TSCA. Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. 
D. What should I consider as I submit 
my comments to EPA? 
1. Submitting Confidential Business 
Information (CBI). 
Do not submit CBI or other sensitive 
information to EPA through https://www.regulations.gov or email. If you’d 
like to include information in your comment that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected, please contact the PRL listed under 
FOR FURTHER  
INFORMATION CONTACT to obtain special instructions before submitting that 
information. 
2. Tips for preparing comments. 
When preparing and submitting your comments, see Tips for Effective Comments at https://www.epa.gov/ dockets. 
II. Request for Comment 
EPA is seeking public comment on 
both the draft risk evaluation and the 
draft charge questions for the letter peer review. Both documents are available in EPA Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT– 2023–0265 at https://www.regulations.gov and may also be 
accessed through EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review. As additional background materials become available, EPA will include those additional background documents (e.g., reviewers participating in this 
letter peer review) in the docket and on the website. 
III. Preparatory Meeting 
EPA will publish instructions on how 
to register for the virtual public meeting 
that will be held on March 5, 2024, from 1–4 p.m. EST. After registering, you will receive the webcast meeting link and audio teleconference information for this public meeting. You may register and participate as a listen-only attendee at any time up to the end of the meeting on March 5, 2024. Requests to make brief (up to five minutes) oral comments during the preparatory meeting can be submitted when registering and will be accepted until Friday, March 1, 2024. 
IV. Letter Peer Review A. What is the purpose of this Letter 
Peer Review? 
The focus of this Letter Peer Review 
is on the approach and methodologies utilized in the ‘‘2023 Draft Risk Evaluation for Tris(2-chloroethyl) Phosphate (TCEP).’’ Feedback from this review will be considered in the development of the final TCEP risk evaluation. 
B. Why did EPA develop these 
documents? 
TCEP is a High-Priority substance 
undergoing the TSCA risk evaluation process. TCEP has been primarily used in paint and coating manufacturing, and in polymers used in aerospace equipment and products. In the past it has also been used in commercial and consumer products, including fabric and textile products, foam seating, and construction materials. TCEP may also be imported in articles intended for consumer use. 
In August 2020, EPA published a final 
scope document for 20 High-Priority substances, including TCEP, outlining 
the hazards, exposures, conditions of use, and the potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations the Agency expects to consider in its risk evaluation. 
EPA is submitting the ‘‘2023 Draft 
Risk Evaluation for Tris(2-chloroethyl) Phosphate (TCEP)’’ and associated supporting documents for Letter Peer Review. The Letter Peer Review will include review of the analysis of physical chemical properties, the fate of TCEP in the environment, releases of TCEP to the environment, environmental hazard and risk characterization for terrestrial and aquatic species, and human health 
hazard and risk characterization for workers, consumers, and the general population. Specifically, EPA is seeking comment on the following issues: 
•The list of considerations EPA used 
to arrive at the human health hazard confidence levels and the specific confidence levels chosen for individual human health hazard outcomes (neurotoxicity, reproductive/ developmental effects, kidney effects, and cancer) in the TCEP risk evaluation. 
•Whether the approach used to 
estimate anaerobic degradation in the absence of data is appropriate for assessing anaerobic degradation in sediment. 
•Use of the model, Web-based 
Interspecies Correlation Estimation (Web-ICE), to predict acute toxicity hazard values for aquatic species not represented in the available studies. 
This is the first time EPA has used 
Web-ICE in a TSCA risk evaluation. These predictions were used with available empirical data to create a Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD). The SSD was used to calculate a hazardous concentration for 5% of species (HC
05). EPA is also using a data- 
driven way of accounting for uncertainty for environmental hazard and is soliciting comment on its characterization of this uncertainty, specifically its use of the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the hazardous HC
05. 
•Human health hazard benchmark 
dose modeling of animal toxicity data for TCEP. 
•The list of considerations EPA used 
to arrive at the human health hazard confidence levels and the specific confidence levels chosen for individual human health hazard outcomes (neurotoxicity, reproductive/ developmental effects, kidney effects, and cancer) to quantitatively evaluate risk from TCEP. 
•Use of several approaches for 
estimating exposures to humans and

environmental receptors: (1) The use of 
Verner 2008 Multi-compartment model, which was used to assess TCEP exposure to infants through human milk for the first time in a TSCA risk evaluation; (2) the use of Verner 2008 Multi-compartment model and associated uncertainties in extrapolating from the inhalation to oral routes of exposure; (3) the use of the American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) to estimate air deposition of TCEP. EPA has used AERMOD in previous TSCA risk evaluations; however, its use in estimating air deposition is novel for TSCA risk evaluations. 
•Approach for modeling drinking 
water contamination from wells near municipal solid waste landfills, which is a new approach for TSCA risk evaluations. 
C. How can I access the documents 
submitted for review? 
The ‘‘2023 Draft Risk Evaluation for 
Tris(2-chloroethyl) Phosphate (TCEP)’’ and all background documents, related supporting materials, and draft charge questions are available at https://www.regulations.gov in Docket ID No. 
EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023–0265 and through the TSCA Scientific Peer Review Committees website at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review. In 
addition, as additional background materials become available (e.g., reviewers participating in the letter peer review), EPA will include those additional background documents in the docket and through the website.
