CONGRESS FINDS THE FORMULA TO REFORM CHEMICAL REGULATION -
The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) is the primary federal law by which the manufacture, import and use of chemical substances are regulated in the United States. Since its inception in 1976, TSCA has not been updated significantly. Politics played a large part in what essentially became a reform stalemate. But negotiators on both sides of the aisle reached a deal in May, and Congress in early June passed the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (also known as the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015). President Obama has now signed it. The Act will change considerably the landscape of chemical regulation and is perhaps the most important amendment to a federal environmental statute since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
