ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) Proposed Rule StageToxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
3935. HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS TEST RULE Legal Authority: 15 USC 2603;/TSCA 4; 42 USC 7412, 7403;/CAA 112 & 103 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 789 to 795 Legal Deadline: None
Section 112 of the CAA indirectly imposes deadlines on this test rule, inasmuch as the test data is needed to carry out programs and activities that have statutory deadlines. Abstract: A multi-chemical endpoint test rule will require the testing of many chemicals for a specific effect or endpoint. This type of rule is an alternative to single chemical rules which require testing of one chemical for many effects. The multi-chemical endpoint rule approach will obtain testing while conserving Agency resources. EPA is proposing health effects testing under TSCA section 4 in support of programs and activities required under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), governing Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Section 112 of the CAA directs EPA to determine the risk to health and the environment remaining after application of a technology-based standard to major and area sources. Section 112 also sets forth a mechanism for revising and modifying the statutory list of 189 HAPs under section 112(b), requirements for an accidental release control program, requirements for an urban air toxics program, a mechanism for ranking of hazards for offsets, and requirements for Great Waters studies. In order to implement these and other programs and requirements under section 112, EPA must identify the health and (cont) Timetable:
