# §702.11. Final priority designation.

- (a) After considering any additional information collected from the proposed designation process in [§ 702.9](/cfr/40/702.9.md), as appropriate, EPA will finalize its designation of a chemical substance as either a High-Priority Substance or a Low-Priority Substance consistent with 15 U.S.C. [2625(h)](/usc/15/2625.md?p=h) and [(i)](/usc/15/2625.md?p=i).
- (b) EPA will not consider costs or other non-risk factors in making a final priority designation.
- (c) EPA will publish each final priority designation in the Federal Register, along with an identification of the information, analysis, and basis used to support a final designation consistent with 15 U.S.C. [2625(h)](/usc/15/2625.md?p=h), [(i)](/usc/15/2625.md?p=i) and [(j)](/usc/15/2625.md?p=j). For High-Priority Substance designations, EPA generally expects to indicate which condition(s) of use were the primary basis for such designations.
- (d) As required in [15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(3)(C)](/usc/15/2605.md?p=b-3-C), EPA will finalize a designation for at least one High-Priority Substance for each risk evaluation it completes, other than a risk evaluation that was requested by a manufacturer pursuant to [subpart B](/cfr/40/subpartB.md) of this part. The obligation in [15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(3)(C)](/usc/15/2605.md?p=b-3-C) will be satisfied by the designation of at least one High-Priority Substance where such designation specifies the risk evaluation that the designation corresponds to, and where the designation occurs within a reasonable time before or after the completion of the risk evaluation.
