For High–Priority Substance designations, EPA generally expects to indicate which condition(s) of use were the primary basis for such designations.

The obligation in 15 U.S.C. 2605(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.
