This is the first time EPA has used TSCA's authority to list chemicals that “may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and the environment.” The decision to list the chemicals further signals this administration's commitment to aggressively use the tools at its disposal under TSCA. Inclusion on the list publicly signals EPA's strong concern about the risks that those chemicals pose and the agency's intention to manage those risks. Once listed, chemical companies can provide information to the agency if they want to demonstrate that their chemical does not pose an unreasonable risk.
