The American Chemistry Council (ACC) recently announced that Cal Dooley, president and CEO, has released the following statement in response to a hearing by the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy on the historical impact of the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA):
“ACC welcomes the Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy’s hearing on the Toxic Substances Control Act. Today’s hearing is an important step to ensure members of Congress understand the important role that TSCA has played in the management of chemicals in commerce, and the need to modernize the law to better reflect today’s science and meet today’s needs. This is especially true given that historic, bipartisan legislation to reform TSCA, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, is under consideration in the Senate.
