The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address the unreasonable risk to human health presented by carbon tetrachloride (CTC) under its conditions of use. The proposed rule would: prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, and use of CTC for certain conditions of use; require a workplace chemical protection program (WCPP), which would include requirements to meet an inhalation exposure concentration limit and prevent direct dermal contact, for certain conditions of use not prohibited; require prescriptive workplace controls for laboratory use; and establish recordkeeping and downstream notification requirements. The information collection activities contained in the proposed rule are: Downstream notification requirements through Safety Data Sheets (SDS), WCPP-related information generation, recordkeeping, and notification requirements, including: o Development of an exposure control plan; o Exposure level monitoring and related recordkeeping; o Development of documentation for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) program and related recordkeeping; o Development of documentation for respiratory protection program and related recordkeeping; o Development and notification to potentially exposed persons (employees and others in the workplace) about how they can access the exposure control plans, exposure monitoring records, PPE program implementation documentation, and respirator program documentation; and o If engineering controls that vent CTC to ambient air outside the workplace are used, attestation that exposure controls selected do not increase emissions of CTC to ambient air outside of the workplace and whether additional equipment was installed to capture or otherwise prevent increased emissions of CTC to ambient air.
