40 CFR 702.15: Effect of designation as a low-priority substance.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 40—Protection of Environment
- CHAPTER I—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
- SUBCHAPTER R—TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT
- PART 702—GENERAL PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
- Subpart A—Procedures for Prioritization of Chemical Substances for Risk Evaluation
Designation of a chemical substance as a Low-Priority Substance under § 702.11 means that a risk evaluation of the chemical substance is not warranted at the time, but does not preclude EPA from later revising the designation pursuant to § 702.13, if warranted. Designation as a Low-Priority Substance is not a finding that the chemical substance does not present an unreasonable risk, but rather that it does not meet the High-Priority Substance definition.
