Scope Documents for First 10 TSCA Chemical Risk Evaluations Now Available
Posted on 7/17/2017 by Roger Marks
US EPA has announced the availability of documents that lay out the scope of the risk evaluations EPA will perform on the first 10 chemicals identified for evaluation under TSCA, as revised by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (“The Lautenberg Law”).
These documents will inform EPA decision making as the Agency performs its chemical risk evaluations. Information found in each scope document includes:
Hazards of each chemical;
Exposure data;
Conditions of use; and
Potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations.
EPA will begin a new risk evaluation each time it finishes one. By 2019, EPA will be working on 20 chemical risk evaluations at any one time, as required by law.
Be confident you know the latest rules for TSCA chemical reporting and inventory management. The TSCA Regulations Online Coursewill help you identify the chemicals at your site that are subject to TSCA reporting; navigate the complex management rules for handling, storing, and processing chemicals (including PCBs); and understand your responsibilities and deadlines for submitting reports to EPA.
In January 2017, US EPA raised the maximum civil penalty for TSCA violations to $38,114 per day, per violation.
These are the best classes I attend each year. I always take something away and implement improvements at my sites.

Very well structured, comprehensive, and comparable to live training seminars I've participated in previously. I will recommend the online course to other colleagues with training requirement needs.

EHS Manager
I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!
Henry Watkins
Hazardous Waste Technician
Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.
Ellen Pelton
Chemical Laboratory Manager
Attending Lion Technology classes should be mandatory for every facility that ships or stores hazmat.
Genell Drake
Outbound Lead
One of the best trainings I have ever received!
Brandon Morfin
EH&S Manager
More thorough than a class I attended last year through another company.
Troy Yonkers
HSES Representative
Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.
Caroline Froning
Plant Chemist
I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.
Tom Bush, Jr.
EHS Manager
I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!
