TSCA New Chemicals Program 

Decision Framework for Hazard 

Identification of Eye Irritation and 

Corrosion; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

availability of a new document 

supporting the new chemicals program 

under the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) titled ‘‘New Chemicals Program 

Decision Framework for Hazard 

Identification of Eye Irritation and 

Corrosion.’’ The document provides a 

decision framework for use by the Office 

of Pollution Prevention and Toxics 

(OPPT) New Chemicals Division (NCD) 

for identification of eye irritation or 

corrosion hazards for new chemical 

substances based on prioritization of 

reproducible, human-relevant data. The 

Framework supports EPA’s mandate 

under TSCA to promote the 

development and implementation of 

alternative test methods and strategies, 

or New Approach Methodologies

(NAMs), to reduce, refine or replace 

vertebrate animal testing and provide 

information of equivalent or better 

scientific quality and relevance for 

assessing risks of injury to health or the 

environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. This notice may be of 

specific interest to persons who are or 

may be interested in risk assessments of 

new chemical substances under TSCA 

(e.g., submitters of TSCA 5 notices, 

industry, non-governmental 

organizations (NGOs), and academia). 

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. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

a new decision framework for use by the 

New Chemicals Division (NCD) of the 

Office of Pollution Prevention and 

Toxics (OPPT) for identification of eye 

irritation or corrosion hazards for new 

chemical substances based on 

prioritization of reproducible, humanrelevant data. The document supports 

EPA’s efforts to develop NAMs that do 

not require vertebrate animal testing and 

furthers the agency’s commitment to 

reduce and replace the use of vertebrate 

animals in the testing of chemical 

substances and mixtures. 

TSCA section 4(h)(2)(A) directs EPA 

to ‘‘promote the development and 

implementation of alternative test 

methods and strategies to reduce, refine, 

or replace vertebrate animal testing and 

provide information of equivalent or 

better scientific quality and relevance 

for assessing risks of injury to health or 

the environment.’’ 

To incorporate alternative test 

methods and strategies, or NAMs, data 

for eye irritation and corrosion hazard 

identification into the new chemicals 

program risk assessment process, NCD 

developed a framework for new 

chemical risk assessments that 

prioritizes reproducible, humanrelevant in vitro data. The Framework is 

based upon existing peer-reviewed 

literature, accepted Organization for 

Economic Cooperation and 

Development (OECD) test guidelines, 

and other existing accepted risk 

assessment approaches. 

NCD is responsible for conducting 

risk assessments for new chemical 

substances submitted under TSCA 

section 5 authority. NCD expects 

multiple benefits from the incorporation 

of this proposed Framework in its 

assessment including: (1) progress 

towards fulfilling TSCA section 4(h)(2) 

statutory requirements; (2) transparency 

for stakeholders regarding EPA’s process 

of hazard identification of eye irritation 

and corrosion for new chemical 

submissions; (3) clear scientific 

rationale for identification of eye 

irritation and corrosion hazards for 

human health assessors leading to 

improved consistency across final new 

chemical risk assessments; and (4) use 

of the most reproducible, humanrelevant scientific data for decisionmaking. 

III. Does this Framework impose 

binding requirements? 

This document is not binding on the 

Agency or any outside parties, and the 

Agency may depart from it where 

circumstances warrant and without 

prior notice. While EPA has made every 

effort to ensure the accuracy of the 

discussion in the Framework, the 

obligations of EPA and the regulated 

community are determined by statutes, 

regulations, or other legally binding 

documents. In the event of a conflict 

between the discussion in the 

Framework document and any statute, 

regulation, or other legally binding 

document, the Framework document 

will not be controlling. 

IV. Is this Framework subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)? 

This action does not contain any new 

or revised information collections or 

burden subject to additional OMB 

approval under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). Information collection 

activities contained in the TSCA new 

chemicals program are already approved 

by OMB under the PRA and are 

assigned OMB Control No. 2070–0038 

(EPA ICR No. 1188.14). 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2604 et seq.
