| 2021-00456 | TSCA Section 21 Petition for Rulemaking; Reasons for Agency Response; Denial of Requested Rulemaking | Proposed Rule | This document provides the reasons for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) response to a petition it received under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) from the Center for Environmental Health, Cape Fear River Watch, Clean Cape Fear, Democracy Green, Toxic Free NC, and the NC Black Alliance on October 14, 2020. Generally, the petitioners requested that EPA initiate a rulemaking proceeding or issue an order under TSCA compelling health and environmental effects testing on 54 Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) that the petitioners assert are manufactured by The Chemours Company (Chemours) at its chemical production facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The petitioners also request that EPA ask the National Academy of Sciences to create an independent science panel to oversee all aspects of the testing program requested by the petitioners. After careful consideration, EPA denied the TSCA petition for reasons discussed in this document. | 2021-01-22 | 2021 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/01/22/2021-00456/tsca-section-21-petition-for-rulemaking-reasons-for-agency-response-denial-of-requested-rulemaking | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-01-22/pdf/2021-00456.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This document provides the reasons for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) response to a petition it received under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) from the Center for Environmental Health, Cape Fear River Watch, Clean Cape Fear,... |
