Regulation of Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals Under TSCA Section 6(h)

On January 6, 2021, EPA issued final rules for five persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals that EPA determined met the criteria for expedited action under TSCA. In accordance with the January 21, 2021 Executive Order entitled “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis” and other Biden-Harris Administration Executive Orders and other direction, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requesting additional public comments on these five final rules.
