ACD Comments on Proposed Rule on Procedures for Risk Evaluation Under TSCA
In December, the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD), formerly the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD), submitted comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urging the agency to reconsider its proposed rule on the Procedures for Risk Evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
In the submitted comments, ACD’s Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Jennifer Gibson expressed concerns about the potential disruption of due process and the risk for biased decision-making. Gibson warned how the proposed rule would exacerbate inefficiencies that already exist in the current TSCA Section 6 risk evaluation process.
