Citation:

Draft Proposed Principles of Cumulative Risk Assessment (CRA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act and Draft Proposed Approach for CRA of High-Priority Phthalates and a Manufacturer-Requested Phthalate under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Impact/Purpose:

The purpose of the SACC meeting on May 8-12, 2023, is to consider and review the two draft documents entitled:" Draft Proposed Principles of Cumulative Risk Assessment under the Toxic Substances Control Act” and “Draft Proposed Approach for Cumulative Risk Assessment of High-Priority Phthalates and a Manufacturer-Requested Phthalate under the Toxic Substance Control Act.”

Description:

EPA published final scoping documents for twenty High Priority and three Manufacturer-Requested chemical substances for risk evaluation under TSCA. During the scoping process, EPA received comments from stakeholders urging the Agency to consider evaluating several chemical substances undergoing risk evaluation for cumulative risk to human health. EPA recognizes that for some chemical substances, the best available science may indicate that the development of a CRA is appropriate to ensure that any risks to human health and the environment are adequately characterized.
