Prohibiting EPA from Using IRIS Assessments for Regulations

This bill aims to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using data from its IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) program for creating new rules, enforcing regulations, or issuing permits. This means environmental decisions that could affect industries and daily life will not be based on these specific risk assessments. It might influence how businesses are regulated and what substances are deemed hazardous.
Key points
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be prohibited from using IRIS program assessments to develop new rules.
IRIS assessments cannot be used for regulatory, enforcement, or permitting actions.
The prohibition also extends to using these assessments for air toxics assessments or other mapping tools.
