Sec. 702.60  Purpose.


    Section 20 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes any 
person to begin a civil action to compel performance by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of TSCA non-discretionary acts or 
duties (section 20(a)(2)) or to restrain any violation of TSCA, or of 
any rule promulgated under sections 4, 5, or 6, or of any order issued 
under section 5 of TSCA (section 20(a)(1)). The purpose of this 
regulation is to prescribe procedures governing the giving of a notice 
of intent to file suit required by section 20(b) of TSCA as a 
prerequisite to beginning such civil actions.
