current issues
security
Having led the charge for national chemical security regulations, ACC and our member companies continue to be committed to safeguarding America's chemical facilities.
energy
ACC believes that access to a reliable, affordable supply of energy – especially natural gas – is vital to chemical makers, to the future of the American manufacturing base and to the health of the U.S. economy as a whole. Our industry relies heavily on natural gas to make chemicals that go into thousands of products consumers use every day – from medicines, packaging and medical equipment to auto parts, antifreeze, computers, telephones and health and personal care products.
rail competition
Many ACC member companies rely on the railroads to provide reliable and competitive service to deliver their products. Unfortunately, these same companies are facing skyrocketing rail transportation costs and poor service due to outdated and broken freight rail policies that fail to promote access to competitive rail service at their facilities.
