EPA’s Compliance Monitoring Strategy for the Toxic Substances Control Act provides guidance to EPA and authorized states with respect to administering and implementing the Agency’s national compliance program for TSCA. EPA conducts compliance monitoring of regulated operations (facilities, activities, and entities) pursuant to TSCA in the following major program areas:
Subchapter I – New and Existing Chemicals, 40CFR, Parts 700-760, 762, 765-766
Section 6(e) – PCB’s, 40CFR, Part 761
Federal and states that inspect on behalf of EPA
The Title II Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) program (also called the Asbestos in Schools Program) governs the management of asbestos in Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools. The objective of AHERA compliance monitoring is to ensure regulatory compliance and, thereby, minimize the risk of exposure to asbestos in schools. The Section 6 Worker Protection Rule (WPR) (PDF) (2 pp, 146K, About PDF) protects state and local government employees who are not protected by the federal OSHA asbestos standard. The Model Accreditation Program (MAP) (PDF) (16 pp, 189K, About PDF) supports the AHERA requirement of training for asbestos abatement professionals. Compliance monitoring involves reviewing local education agencies’ management of asbestos under AHERA; state and local government employers’ compliance with the federal OSHA asbestos standard under the WPR; and the adequacy of state asbestos accreditation programs under the MAP. EPA’s compliance monitoring strategy for the Asbestos program can be found at Appendix D: Asbestos Program within the TSCA Compliance Monitoring Strategy (CMS).
