What does it mean that the data generated through this program will be available to the public? How will confidential business information (CBI) be handled?
The principle that the public has a fundamental right to know about the hazards associated with chemicals in commerce is central to this initiative. For this reason, EPA intends to ensure that the information created through the HPV Challenge Program is broadly available to the public, chiefly through the Internet. Therefore, EPA encourages electronic submission of data to facilitate making this information widely accessible and strongly discourages submission of confidential business information. EPA’s Chemical Right-to-Know web site http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemrtk/index.htmwill house much of the information for the Challenge Program.
