Summary EPA published a document in the Federal Register of August 18, 2017 (82 FR 39402) concerning meetings of the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee (Committee).

Laura and Chris Facilitators Laura Sneeringer, Senior Associate, Consensus Building Institute, 720-251-9842, lsneerinRer@cbuildinR.org Christopher Moore, Ph.D., Partner, CDR Associates, 303-918-2677, cmoore@mediate.org EPA is cancelling the remaining scheduled meeting of the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee to Negotiate a Proposed Rule to Limit Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Requirements for Certain Inorganic Byproducts. The meeting was scheduled for October 25 to 26, 2017. EPA is cancelling this meeting because the Committee determined that it was not able to reach consensus on regulatory approaches and concluded its discussions, which were required by TSCA and which were conducted in good faith. While the negotiated rulemaking process is concluding and will not be reopened, EPA is providing additional opportunity for the public to offer input for 60 days about approaches that would reduce reporting burden while maintaining the Agency's ability to receive the information it needs to understand exposure. The objective of the Committee was to negotiate a proposed rule that would limit chemical data reporting requirements, under subsection 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), for manufacturers of any inorganic byproducts when such byproducts are subsequently recycled, reused, or reprocessed. This negotiation process was required by TSCA, as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. The Committee was formally convened as a Federal Advisory Committee in June 2017, following a six-month process of public notification, identification and engagement with potential Committee members, and development of a balanced membership. It met three times from June through September 2017. Information about the Committee, including past meeting agendas and presentations have been posted to the Committee webpage: https vww.epa.gov/chemical-data-reporting/negotiated-rulemakiiig-committee-chemical-datareporting-reqmrements. These materials, as well as additional materials such as the Committee's charter and meeting summaries, are available in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0597 in regulatioiis.gov. The docket established for the negotiated rulemaking public meetings will be open for any additional public input for 60 days following the publication of the Federal Register Notice. Sierra Club v.
