category of chemical substances 

presents an unreasonable risk of injury 

to health or the environment under the 

conditions of use (15 U.S.C. 

2605(b)(4)(A); 40 CFR 702.47). 

III. Information and Comments 

Received 

In the Federal Register of November 

27, 2020 (Ref. 2), EPA announced the 

availability of the draft scope document 

for the risk evaluation to be conducted 

for DIDP under TSCA and invited 

public comments on EPA’s draft scope 

document, including additional data or 

information relevant to the category of 

chemical substances or that otherwise 

could be useful to the Agency in 

finalizing the scope of the risk 

evaluation. To the extent that comments 

provided information on conditions of 

use, as well as other elements of the 

draft scope document, those comments 

and other submitted information (e.g., 

relevant studies and assessments) were 

used to inform revisions to the draft 

scope document and may be considered 

in subsequent phases of the risk 

evaluation process. 

EPA received five unique submissions 

for DIDP, including comments from 

potentially affected businesses or trade 

associations, environmental and public 

health advocacy groups (some 

submissions were signed by more than 

one group), and a group of state 

attorneys general. 

Comments addressed the overall 

approach to the risk evaluation process 

(e.g., collection, consideration, and 

systematic review of relevant 

information), the specific elements of 

the scope document (e.g., hazard, 

exposure, and potentially exposed or 

susceptible subpopulations), 

information specific to the chemical 

substances (e.g., relevant studies, 

assessments, and conditions of use), and 

topics beyond the draft scope document 

phase of the process (e.g., risk 

management). EPA considered those 

comments, as applicable and 

appropriate, in developing the final 

scope document. Concurrently with the 

publication of the final scope document, 

EPA is publishing a response to 

comments document that contains a 

comprehensive summary of and 

response to public comments received 

on the DIDP draft scope document. The 

comprehensive response to comments 

document is available in the docket 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2019–0435 (Ref. 3).
