EPA Issues Notice for Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program

21 11 09 - 02:48 On October 21, 2009, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice for the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) Tier 1 screening for the first group of 67 chemicals by issuing orders between October 29, 2009, and February 26, 2010.  Orders will be issued based on inclusion on the "Pesticide Inert Ingredients Data Submitters and Suppliers List" (PIIDSSL).  The EDSP Tier 1 screening data required to satisfy an order are due within 2 years of the date of issuance of the order.  Other parties with information will have the opportunity to submit relevant data to the agency within 90 days of the order date.  While most of the chemicals are specific to pesticide use, there are materials, such as phthalates and acetone, which are used more broadly.  More information can be obtained from www.epa.gov/endo.
