74 FR 28654
Testing of Certain Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylate Substances

An Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) requesting information on possible aquatic and sediment toxicity testing for nonylphenol (NP) and certain short-chain nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), which are widely used in detergents, has been issued by EPA June 17, 2009. The Agency notice also requested information and proposals for obtaining data on exposure of NPEs to industrial laundry workers.

Issued under section 4 of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), the ANPRM is intended to fulfill EPA's obligations under a court-ordered mediation and final settlement agreement, executed December 30, 2008, between EPA and five plaintiffs: (1) the Environmental Law and Policy Center; (2) the Sierra Club; (3) the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations; (4) Physicians for Social Responsibility, and (5) UNITE HERE. The Alkylphenols and Ethoxylates Research Council was also part of the settlement agreement as a defendant-intervenor.

The mediated settlement agreement comes out of a citizens' petition filed by the plaintiffs (and also the Washington Toxics Coalition) with EPA under section 21 of TSCA on June 5, 2007. The petitioners asked EPA to initiate rulemaking proceedings for a test rule under TSCA section 4 and a use regulation under TSCA section 6 for NP/NPEs. In its response to the section 21 petition, published in the Federal Register on September 5, 2007, EPA noted that it was granting part of the petitioners' request for a TSCA section 4 test rule and denied the petitioners' request for a TSCA section 6 use and labeling regulation. This ANPRM, as prescribed by the mediated settlement agreement, confirms and slightly expands the section 4 testing actions and the issues for comment EPA was considering in its original response.
