Adding chemicals to list of regulated substances

CAA §112(r)(3) provides EPA the authority to amend the list of regulated substances. Does EPA expect to add chemicals to the list of regulated substances in the near future?

At this time, EPA does not expect to add any chemicals to the list of regulated substances. The statute, however, requires that the list be reviewed at least every five years (CAA §112(r)(3)).
