Claims of Confidentiality of Certain Chemical Identities
Submitted under Section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a new general practice of reviewing
submissions under section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) for confidential business information (CBI) claims of chemical
identities listed on the public portion of the TSCA Chemical Substances
Inventory. Where a health and safety study submitted under section 8(e)
of TSCA involves a chemical identity that is already listed on the
public portion of the TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory, EPA expects
to find that the chemical identity clearly is not entitled to
confidential treatment. EPA believes this new general practice will
make more health and safety information available to the public and
support an important part of the Agency's mission: To promote public
understanding of the potential risks posed by chemicals in commerce.
