The earlier methodology would need to be updated to incorporate statutory requirements not previously included \u2013 or not sufficiently addressed (e.g., exposure to children) \u2013 and to integrate new information.<\/p>\n<p>We also believe EPA could use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/saferchoice\/safer-ingredients#scil\">Safer Choice Ingredient List (SCIL)<\/a> as a <em>starting point<\/em> for identifying a comparable number of low-priority candidates.\u00a0 However, EDF does not believe that the presence of a chemical on the SCIL list alone is at all sufficient for designating it as low-priority. \u00a0Rather, the SCIL list may help EPA identify a select number of candidates, which would need to undergo a much more robust evaluation to determine whether they meet the strict statutory requirements for low-priority designations.<\/p>\n<p>For additional detail, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/health\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/11\/files\/2018\/01\/EDF-Comments_TSCA-Identifying-Priority-Candidates-Final.pdf\">our full comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsay McCormick,\u00a0is a\u00a0Project Manager.
