ACC Comments on TSCA Fenceline Screening Level Approach 

EPA has prepared a screening level methodology for assessing potential air and water pathway chemical exposures to fenceline communities and conducted case studies for three of the first 10 chemicals for which EPA published risk evaluations between 2020 and 2021. Following the SACC review, EPA will review public comments and SACC recommendations, and modify and potentially apply the proposed screening level methodology for seven of the first 10 chemicals for which these evaluations were not previously conducted.

ACC has reviewed the Screening Level Approach and has the following general comments for consideration by the SACC and EPA. In addition, we anticipate providing supplementary detailed comments.
