If you require special accommodations or have questions, please contact Pam Buster at buster.pamela@epa.gov by May 25th for the June 1st session and June 2nd for the June 9th session.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting the public to participate in environmental justice consultations under Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations) for two rulemakings under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address unreasonable risks presented by two chemicals recently evaluated by EPA: Asbestos, Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos and Pigment Violet 29 (PV29).

The consultations, which will focus on the environmental justice impacts of the agency’s development of proposed rules to address the unreasonable risks identified for these chemicals, are part of EPA’s process to gain important feedback from stakeholders on the options for managing those risks.

Two identical sessions will occur on Tuesday, June 1st and Wednesday, June 9th with both sessions addressing Asbestos, Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos and PV29. Both sessions will provide an overview of the TSCA risk management requirements, the findings from the final risk evaluations, the tools available to manage the unreasonable risks from Asbestos, Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos and PV29, and discussion of environmental justice concerns.

If you would like to provide oral comments during the June 1st webinar, you must register by May 25th. If you would like to provide oral comments during the June 9th webinar, you must register by June 2nd. Select “listen & make a comment” when registering.
