Director, Data Gathering, Management and Policy Division
3 weeks ago
This Senior Executive Service position is located in the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Data Gathering, Management, and Policy Division (DGMPD). OPPT must evaluate risks of chemicals and require and promote risk reduction and responsible risk management practices through the life cycle of these chemicals; promote pollution prevention activities and the design, development, and application of safer chemical processes and technologies in the industrial sector; and provide the public with information about releases of toxic chemicals in their communities so they can use the information to improve chemical safety and protect public health and the environment.
DGMPD, under the supervision of the Director, provides both program leadership and support for the data gathering and management provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). As such, it is a complex division with multiple functions, roles, and foci, many of which can, and should, overlap. At the same time, there are individual programs and program elements that are well-defined and have strong stakeholder affiliations and partners. In this context, DGMPD integrates key functions - where appropriate - as well as maintains unique program elements to balance, as effectively as possible, the wide span of DGMPD responsibilities with an organizational structure that fosters innovation, synergy, and integration.
As DGMPD's Director, the incumbent provides leadership and direction for all Division activities involving:
Providing key data on conditions of use, physical-chemical properties, environmental fate, hazards and dose-response analyses and potential chemical exposure, all of which are critical to risk evaluation under TSCA. Leading the TSCA Section 6 prioritization process and ensuring that, in coordination with other divisions in OPPT, scoping of fit for purpose risk evaluations is data driven and efficient. Analyzing data gaps and identifying data needs for conducting chemical assessment, including new chemicals, TSCA Section 6 chemical prioritization and risk evaluations as well as performing systematic review of data to ensure such data meets TSCA data standards. Writing rules and testing order development and issuance, acquisition of data, and engagement with EPA colleagues in other office divisions, other EPA program offices, and external entities that may be sources of such data. Reporting data for chemical right-to-know programs under EPCRA and TSCA. Establishing partnerships and conducting outreach to industry, businesses, states, communities, the public health community, academia, and others.
