EPA Introduces New Policy on Confidentiality of Chemical Identities Under TSCA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is introducing a new policy to review submissions under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for confidential business information (CBI) claims related to chemicals already listed on the public portion of the TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory. This move aims to increase public access to health and safety information and support the EPA's mission to promote public understanding of chemical risks.
