{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of the final Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) risk evaluation of perchloroethylene (PCE). The purpose of conducting risk evaluations under TSCA is to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the conditions of use, including an unreasonable risk to a relevant potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation, without consideration of costs or other nonrisk factors. EPA has determined that specific conditions of use of PCE present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. For those conditions of use for which EPA has found an unreasonable risk, EPA must move to address that unreasonable risk through risk management measures enumerated in TSCA. EPA has also determined that specific conditions of use do not present unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. For those conditions of use for which EPA has found no unreasonable risk to health or the environment, the Agency's determination is a final Agency action and is issued via order in the risk evaluation.","action":"Notice.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2020/12/18/2020-27880.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"85 FR 82474","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502","FRL-10017-44"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2020-27880","effective_on":null,"end_page":82476,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2020/12/18/2020-27880.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/18/2020-27880/perchloroethylene-pce-final-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca-risk-evaluation-notice-of-availability","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2020-27880?publication_date=2020-12-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2020-12-18/2020-27880/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":457,"last_updated":"2026-07-27 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-12-18/pdf/2020-27880.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-27880.pdf?1608212732","publication_date":"2020-12-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2020/12/18/2020-27880.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Transmittal Memo for Final PCE RE 12-09-2020","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0082"},{"title":"PCE Non-Technical Summary 12102020","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0081"},{"title":"22 - PCE  Supplemental Information File Consumer Exposure Assessment Model Input Parameters","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0079"},{"title":"17 - PCE Supplemental Information File Risk Calculator for Occupational Exposures","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0074"},{"title":"16 - PCE Supplemental Information File Releases and Occupational Exposure Assessment","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0073"},{"title":"14 - PCE SR Supplemental File Data Extraction for Human Health Hazard Studies","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0071"},{"title":"13 - PCE SR Supplemental File Data Quality Evaluation of Human Health Hazard Studies - Epidemiological Studies","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0070"},{"title":"10 - PCE SR Supplemental File Data Quality Evaluation of Ecological Hazard Studies","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0067"},{"title":"8 - PCE SR Supplemental File Consumer and General Population Exposure Monitoring Data Extraction Tables","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0065"},{"title":"6 - PCE SR Supplemental File Data Quality Evaluation of Environmental Releases and Occupational Exposures Common Sources","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0063"}],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"EPA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502","supporting_documents_count":52,"docket_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0502-0057","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals Review of Risk Evaluation for Perchloroethylene","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2020-12-21T04:30:14Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":82474,"subtype":null,"title":"Perchloroethylene (PCE); Final Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Risk Evaluation; Notice of Availability","toc_doc":"Perchloroethylene","toc_subject":"Final Toxic Substances Control Act Risk Evaluation:\n","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":85}
