Regulations in Development: Safer Consumer Products
DTSC Reference Number: R-2011-02 Informal draft regulations for Safer Consumer Products are available for public review. A public workshop was held on December 5, 2011 and the informal comments are listed below.
See DTSC's Safer Consumer Products page for more information. (DTSC's previous work on the SCPA regulations, including the Notice of Decision Not to Proceed with the previously proposed regulations, can be found in the Safer Consumer Product Alternatives Archive.) Green Ribbon Science Panel Renewed efforts for the Safer Consumer Products regulations began in early 2011 with a discussion with the Green Ribbon Science Panel to establish a science-based foundation for the regulations. DTSC and the Green Ribbon Science Panel formed subcommittees to more deeply discuss issues related to DTSC's regulatory efforts for Safer Consumer Products. The subcommittees met via teleconference on a variety of subjects including chemical and product prioritization, de minimus, and alternatives assessments. Two meetings were held (May 5-6, 2011, and July 14-15, 2011) with all of the GRSP members to present advice to DTSC on the issues discussed via teleconference. All GRSP meetings, both of the subcommittees and of the entire group, were open to the public and included opportunities for the public to make comments to the GRSP.
