This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 1976, authorizing the EPA to obtain info. on the risks of industrial chemicals and to control those that EPA determines pose an unreasonable risk. However, EPA does not have sufficient chemical assessment info. to determine whether it should establish controls to limit public exposure to many chemicals that may pose substantial health risks. There should be statutory changes to provide EPA with authority to obtain health and safety info. from the chemical industry. This testimony addresses EPA's options for: (1) obtaining info. on the risks posed by chemicals to human health and the environ.; (2) controlling these risks; and (3) publicly disclosing info. provided by chemical co. under TSCA.

This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In 1976, Congress passed TSCA to give EPA the authority to obtain more health and safety information on chemicals and to regulate chemicals it determines pose unreasonable risks of injury to human health or the environment. GAO has reported that EPA has found many of TSCA's provisions difficult to implement. In 2009, EPA announced TSCA reform principles to inform ongoing efforts in Congress to strengthen the act. At that time, EPA also initiated a new approach for managing toxic chemicals using its existing TSCA authorities. This testimony summarizes GAO's past work describing: (1) challenges EPA has faced historically in regulating chemicals and (2) the extent to which EPA has made progress implementing its new approach, and challenges, if any, which persist. This statement is based on GAO reports issued between 1994 and 2013. GAO is not making new recommendations in this testimony. In prior reports, GAO suggested that Congress consider statutory changes to TSCA to give EPA additional authorities to obtain information from the chemical industry and shift more of the burden to chemical companies for demonstrating the safety of their chemicals. In these reports, among other things, GAO recommended that EPA require companies to provide chemical data they submitted to foreign governments, require companies to reassert confidentiality claims, and develop strategies for addressing"
Book Synopsis Chemical Regulation: Observations on Improving the Toxic Substances Control Act by : John Stephenson
Download or read book Chemical Regulation: Observations on Improving the Toxic Substances Control Act written by John Stephenson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The EPA is authorized under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to obtain information on the risks of chemicals and to control those that it determines to pose an unreasonable risk. EPA also conducts assessments of chemicals under its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program. Nonetheless, EPA does not have sufficient information to determine whether it should establish controls to limit public exposure to many chemicals that may pose substantial health risks. This testimony addresses EPA's implementation of TSCA and IRIS and options for: (1) obtaining more information on chemical risks; (2) controlling these risks; and (3) sharing more of the information collected under TSCA.

Book Synopsis Policy Success in an Age of Gridlock by : Lawrence S. Rothenberg
Download or read book Policy Success in an Age of Gridlock written by Lawrence S. Rothenberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1990, polarization hindered changing environmental policy statutorily. Yet, in mid-2016 the Lautenberg Act regulating toxics - chemicals employed in commerce - was passed, winning business and environmental support. What might explain this? Has the Trump administration undercut the law's effects? Does the Act's passage portend more progressive actions? We show that the Act was a function of the status quo changing due to regulatory efforts abroad and in the United States, and from outside pressures on business. These influences impacted implementation, with the Trump administration not targeting toxics regulation analogous to other programs. Further, the processes we observe for toxics may not be unique.

Book Synopsis Using Competition-Based Regulation to Bridge the Toxics Data Gap by : Wendy E. Wagner
Download or read book Using Competition-Based Regulation to Bridge the Toxics Data Gap written by Wendy E. Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) creates an adverse selection problem with regard to the manufacture of chemicals since neither the testing of chemicals nor the production of safer chemicals is generally required or rewarded by the regulatory system. As a result, better tested and safer chemicals enjoy few, if any competitive benefits in the marketplace. At the same time, the adverse selection created by existing regulation is locked into place by a strong political block of manufacturers who enjoy the benefits of under-regulation and the lower chance of penalties in the market and through tort litigation. To address this intransigent problem, I propose a competition-based mechanism for generating incentives for testing and chemical safety through an adjudication process by which manufacturers can petition EPA to have their chemicals certified as superior to inferior chemicals or chemical mixtures. If a competitor establishes there are measurable and significant differences between their product and a competitor product with regard to health or environmental consequences, EPA may not only certify this environmental superiority relative to the inferior chemical through its labeling authorities, but in some cases might restrict the use of the inferior chemical or even ban it entirely. After considering how a competition-based approach to toxic substances regulation could work under TSCA, I conclude by considering how this approach applies to other problematic areas of toxics regulation, including the regulation of pesticides, nanotechnology, drug, and other pollution control problems.
Book Synopsis TSCA Deskbook by : Carolyne R. Hathaway
Download or read book TSCA Deskbook written by Carolyne R. Hathaway and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976 provides EPA with authority to require reporting, record-keeping and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures. The TSCADeskbook is your one-stop resource for understanding and managing these complex chemical regulation issues. This second edition of the Deskbook updates the first by outlining the rules and regulations passed since its printing in 2007. It is an essential resource for attorneys and environmental managers working in the ever-changing area of chemical legislation that highlights potential pitfalls and demystifies complex regulatory language. The TSCADeskbook begins with a detailed analysis by leading attorney practitioners of the Act. This step-by-step analysis of the statute integrates statutory and regulatory provisions, Federal Register preambles, and agency memoranda and guidance to provide the clearest, most comprehensive guide available to the regulatory programs governing chemicals. The analysis reviews the origins of the Act, regulatory requirements, definitional issues, and civil and criminal enforcement. Part two of the Deskbook provides TSCA in full, up-to-date text. And part three contains valuable agency memoranda, guidance, and materials to aid the user in the interpretation of the statute.

Book excerpt: "For decades, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to protect the public from health risks of hazardous chemicals have been hindered by chemical companies and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the mail law used to regulate chemicals in the United States. This paper examines the role of the chemical industry, polluters, their paid consultants and trade associations in preventing the EPA from reaching conclusions about the toxicity and human health risks of hazardous chemicals. Through the case studies of three common chemicals and widespread pollutants --- trichloroethylene (TCE), formaldehyde and styrene --- this paper reveals how industry has manipulated the regulatory process to prevent science-based assessments of toxicity and human health risks from becoming policy.
