SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document extends the public comment period established in the Federal Register document of October 30, 2020 (85 FR 68873) (FRL-10015-96), which opened a 30-day public comment period for the revised draft risk evaluation of C. I. Pigment Violent 29 under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA conducts TSCA risk evaluations to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment without consideration of costs or other nonrisk factors, including an unreasonable risk to potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations, under the conditions of use. The draft risk evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet 29 has been revised to include information EPA received from the manufacturing stakeholders as a result of a TSCA section 4 order requiring testing of the chemical substance.

EPA is extending the comment period, which was set to end on November 30, 2020, to provide additional time for the public to review and comment on this revised draft risk evaluation prior to publishing a final risk evaluation (see Unit III. in the Federal Register document of October 30, 2020).

To submit comments, or access the docket, please follow the detailed instructions provided under ADDRESSES of this document. If you have questions, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
