Office of Prevention Pesticides and

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., and the 

Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), 42 

U.S.C. 13101 et seq. Under these laws, 

EPA evaluates new and existing 

chemical substances and their risks, and 

finds ways to prevent or reduce 

pollution before it is released into the 

environment. OPPT also manages a 

variety of environmental stewardship 

programs that encourage companies to 

reduce and prevent pollution. 

The CSAC was established under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

section 9(a), to provide advice and 

recommendations on the scientific basis 

for risk assessments, methodologies, and 

pollution prevention measures or 

approaches. The CSAC is composed of 

10 members who serve as regular 

government employees (RGEs) or 

special government employees (SGEs). 

A copy of the CSAC charter is available 

on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/csac and in the docket at 

http://www.regulations.gov.

During the meeting scheduled for May 

11, 2016, entitled ‘‘Orientation Session 

of the Chemical Safety Advisory 

Committee (CSAC),’’ the CSAC will 

receive a background briefing including 

an overview of priority projects within 

EPA’s OPPT, the TSCA, the TSCA Work 

Plan Chemical Program, and aspects of 

OPPT’s risk assessment approaches. The
