The Dept. of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) will release the priority products by at least April 1, maybe earlier. The DTSC has indicated that they will likely only work on three products/ chemical combination at the beginning, then possibly expanding the total to five. A Guidance Document for the Alternative Assessment (AA) Part One should be released at the end of 2013 or early 2014. The Part One guidance document covers the first phase of the AA, with Part Two, covering the second phase of the AA, is planned for release in the first quarter of 2014. More to come.
