Amendments to the Procedural Rules for Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) 3 actions from February 19th, 2010 to September 16th, 2010
EPA response: Under the current delegation, the EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) (formerly the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS)) has the authority to make the final decision on whether testing is necessary under TSCA section 4. As explained in the preamble to the proposed rule, EPA will invite testing proposals through Federal Register documents, EPA’s website, and other forms of public communication. Depending on the circumstances (e.g., the size and geographical distribution of the group potentially required to conduct testing), EPA may use more than one of these methods, as necessary to reach the affected companies. For instance, one of the public forms of communication that EPA may use is speeches or presentations by Agency officials at industry conferences, where representatives from individual companies and trade associations will be present, and able to pass the word along to their companies and members. Of course, individual companies, trade associations and other organizations, and their representatives can always contact EPA, using the contact information provided in the Federal Register document, EPA website, or other public communication of testing needs, with questions about specific testing requirements and other details for individual chemical substances.
Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), does not apply to this action because this is not designated as an “economically significant'' regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866 (see Unit III.A.), nor does this action establish an environmental standard that is intended to have a disproportionate effect on children. To the contrary, this action will revise procedures which will facilitate the development of data and information that EPA and others can use to assess the risks of chemical substances, including potential risks to children.
