Our letter focuses on the anticipated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated guidance material to assist stakeholders in developing Section 5 submissions and provides specific issues that must be included in that guidance so it is truly helpful to the regulated community. As noted in our letter, beyond knowing what to report in a submission, stakeholders need to understand why the information is needed by EPA assessors and how that information will be used by EPA and incorporated into a new chemical risk evaluation. Without this information, the lack of certainty regarding the EPA process will adversely impact investment, stifle innovation, and deny the regulated community with a clearer understanding of how EPA is actually implementing the new law as it relates to new chemical review. We will be in touch with you later this week to discuss the letter and potentially arrange for a meeting with you and other EPA staff. KATHLEEN M.
