{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of and seeking public comment on a draft revision to the risk determination for the 1-bromopropane (1-BP) risk evaluation issued under TSCA. The draft revision to the 1-BP risk determination reflects the announced policy changes to ensure the public is protected from unreasonable risks from chemicals in a way that is supported by science and the law. In this draft revision to the risk determination EPA finds that 1-BP, as a whole chemical substance, presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health when evaluated under its conditions of use. In addition, this revised risk determination does not reflect an assumption that all workers always appropriately wear personal protective equipment (PPE). EPA understands that there could be occupational safety protections in place at workplace locations; however, not assuming use of PPE reflects EPA's recognition that unreasonable risk may exist for subpopulations of workers that may be highly exposed because they are not covered by OSHA standards, or their employers are out of compliance with OSHA standards, or because OSHA has not issued a permissible exposure limit (PEL) (as is the case for 1-BP). This revision, when final, would supersede the condition of use- specific no unreasonable risk determinations in the August 2020 1-BP risk evaluation (and withdraw the associated order) and would make a revised determination of unreasonable risk for 1-BP as a whole chemical substance.","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/2022/07/20/2022-15516.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"87 FR 43265","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2022-08-19","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before August 19, 2022.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741","FRL-9944-01-OCSPP"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Top 10 Most Frequently Cited Standards for Fiscal Year 2021 (October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021)","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0113"},{"title":"Draft Revised Unreasonable Risk Determination for 1-Bromopropane (1-BP), Section 5","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0104"},{"title":"Summary of External Peer Review and Public Comments and Disposition for 1-Bromopropane (1-BP)","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0102"},{"title":"Meeting Between American Petroleum Institute and University Exposure Experts and US EPA to Discuss Risk Evaluations, September 26, 2018","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0096"},{"title":"Chemical Use Outreach Meeting with Albemarle and EPA to discuss 1-Bromopropane, one of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) First Ten Priority Chemicals","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0095"},{"title":"EPA’s Responses to Public Comments Received on the Scope Documents for the First Ten Chemicals for Risk Evaluation under TSCA","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0070"},{"title":"Consumer use of 1-BP in brake cleaning and engine degreasing","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0065"},{"title":"Site Visit at CRC Facility - October 25, 2017","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0064"},{"title":"Use and Market Profile for 1-Bromopropane","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0050"},{"title":"Scope of the Risk Evaluation for 1-Bromopropane","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0049"}],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":7,"comment_start_date":"2022-07-20","updated_at":"2023-02-27T16:10:22.579-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0099","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741-0099","comment_end_date":"2022-08-20","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":36,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0741","title":"1-Bromopropane;
