Peer Review of 2024 Draft Risk Evaluation for 1,3-Butadiene
1,3-Butadiene is undergoing risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act. EPA is planning a virtual public meeting for the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) to review the draft risk evaluation for 1,3-butadiene in early 2025.
On September 18, 2024, EPA published a Federal Register notice requesting nominations of prospective ad hoc expert reviewers to assist the SACC with its peer review. The nomination period ended on October 18, 2024. After reviewing the nominations, EPA called for public comments on the interested and available candidates under consideration as prospective ad hoc reviewers. Biographies of these prospective reviewers are available via docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2024-0425 and through the link below. Comments must be submitted via the docket by November 29, 2024. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. When preparing and submitting your comments, see Commenting on EPA Dockets.
EPA will be soliciting comments from the reviewers on the approach and methodologies used in the draft risk evaluation. The SACC’s peer review will inform the Agency’s final risk evaluation under TSCA.
