# §702.17. Effect of designation as a high-priority substance.


Final designation of a chemical substance as a High-Priority Substance under [§ 702.11](/cfr/40/702.11.md) initiates a risk evaluation pursuant to [subpart B](/cfr/40/subpartB.md) of this part. Designation as a High-Priority Substance is not a final agency action and is not subject to judicial review until the date of promulgation of the associated final rule under [section 6(a)](/cfr/40/6.md?p=a). Designation as a High-Priority Substance is not a finding that the chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk.
