This revised information collection request updates addresses the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the proposed rule to update the new chemicals procedural regulations at 40 CFR Parts 720, 721, 723, and 725 under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The amendments included under this new chemicals procedural rule cover several goals, including in part to align the regulatory text with the amendments to TSCAâs new chemical review provisions contained in the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, enacted on June 22, 2016 (15 U.S.C. 2604); increase the quality of information initially submitted in new chemicals notices, to reduce the need to update risk assessments if new information is received later in the process, and, ultimately, to reduce the length of time that new chemicals are under review for notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a)(1); and to update the regulations for low volume exemptions (LVEs) and low release and exposure exemptions (LoREXs) to make perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) ineligible for these exemptions and to codify the ineligibility for these exemptions of certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical substances as described in EPAâs 1999 PBT policy.
