Key CSPA Concerns About SCP • Inadequate protection of confidential business information

& trade secrets • Practical Quantitation Level & lack of de minimus threshold • Alternative Analyses Process

– Potential cost and barriers – Inappropriate timelines – Removal of certified assessors is improvement – Public review & comment raises confidentiality & trade issues

• Product-Chemical Identification and Prioritization Factors • Duplication and overlap of regulations • Concerns with Candidate Lists

Ingredient Communication
