EPA last regulated a chemical under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) § 6, which provides for regulation of existing as opposed to new chemicals, in 1989. This 28-year hiatus may be coming to an end, with the proposal of three such rules in the month before the inauguration of President Trump. While the new Administration may never adopt the proposed rules, the approach to implementing § 6 that they reflect should be of great concern to formulators, chemical manufacturers, and manufacturing industry generally.

'On the other hand, although significant changes were made to ensure that EPA would employ the ‘‘best available science’’ in its risk assessments, the EPA proposals rely on remarkably sketchy and inadequate assessments.'
