On August 17, 2026, Environmental Protection Network submitted formal comments on EPA’s draft risk evaluation for TBBPA, arguing that EPA is improperly moving forward with the evaluation before the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) has completed its peer review of the underlying hazard and exposure assessments. EPN feels the agency’s decision to overlap the public comment period with the ongoing SACC review undermines the integrity of the Existing Chemicals Review Program and risks requiring significant revisions after public comments have closed.
