EPA determined that 1-BP presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health due to the significant adverse health effects associated with exposure to 1-BP, including neurotoxicity, developmental toxicity from acute and chronic inhalation exposures and dermal exposures, and cancer from chronic inhalation exposures. TSCA requires that EPA address by rule any unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment identified in a TSCA risk evaluation and apply requirements to the extent necessary so the chemical no longer presents unreasonable risk. To address the identified unreasonable risk, EPA is proposing requirements to, among other things, prevent consumer access to the chemical, restrict the industrial and commercial use of the chemical while also allowing for a reasonable transition period where an industrial and commercial use of the chemical is being prohibited, and protect workers from the unreasonable risk of 1-BP while on the job.","document_number":"2024-17204","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/08/08/2024-17204/1-bromopropane-1-bp-regulation-under-the-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-08-08/pdf/2024-17204.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-17204.pdf?1723034721","publication_date":"2024-08-08","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prescriptive Controls + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prohibit. \n \n \n Industrial and commercial use as solvent for closed-loop batch vapor degreasing \n 1-BP WCPP + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prescriptive Controls + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prohibit. \n \n \n Industrial and commercial use as solvent for cold cleaning \n 1-BP WCPP + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n 1-BP WCPP + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prohibit. \n \n \n Industrial and commercial use as a solvent for aerosol spray degreaser/cleaner \n 1-BP WCPP + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n 1-BP WCPP + self-<span class=\"match\">certification</span> \n Prohibit"},{"title":"Medicare Program: Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems; and Quality Reporting Programs; Including the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program and Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Program; Request for Information on Strengthening the Standardization and Comparability of Hospital Price Transparency (HPT) Data; Prior Authorization; Accrediting Organization (AO) Deeming for Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA); and Notices of Closure of Teaching Hospitals and Opportunities To Apply for Available Slots","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"This proposed rule would revise the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and the Medicare Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) payment system for calendar year 2027 based on our continuing experience with these systems.
