How often will the HPV chemical list be updated?
The list of chemicals covered by the HPV Challenge Program will not change appreciably once the Program is launched. EPA anticipates that creating baseline health and environmental test data will eventually become routine for newly-identified HPV chemicals, through a combination of domestic and international testing activities. Although newly identified HPV chemicals will not be a part of the HPV Challenge Program, EPA will evaluate the data needs for these chemicals and begin dialogue with domestic manufacturers and OECD SIDS participants to ensure that the information needed for these HPVs is developed in a timely fashion.
