Center for Chemical Safety - American Chemistry Council

Steve Risotto

The Center for Chemical Safety serves as a scientific, technical and advocacy hub that will assist ACC members and non-members to navigate the TSCA risk evaluation process.

TSCA Risk Evaluation Consortia

The Center helps stakeholders collaborate on the development of information, share costs and provide critical input to EPA on chemical prioritization, risk evaluation and risk management options.

Center for Chemical Safety Facts

The chemical industry is fully committed to supporting EPA’s effective and efficient implementation of TSCA.
In June 2016, a bipartisan majority in Congress amended the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), giving the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expanded authority to regulate chemicals in commerce in the United States.
Stakeholder participation will help ensure EPA has sufficient information to conduct thorough evaluations based on hazard, use, and exposure.
The chemical industry’s growth, technological innovation, and global competitiveness depends upon the active participation of stakeholders.

TSCA Risk Evaluation Consortia

Under TSCA, chemical manufacturers, processors, importers and downstream users of chemistry have multiple opportunities to provide input to EPA, and may be subject to Agency requests for additional information.

In an effort to share costs and promote efficiency, companies may wish to form consortia to collaborate on the development of comments or new data to submit to EPA. These collaborative efforts can also help inform EPA decisions on chemical prioritization, risk evaluation and risk management options.

TSCA Test Orders for High-Priority Chemicals

ACC groups continue their discussions with EPA regarding orders for submission of testing data on occupational exposures, dermal absorption, and potential environmental hazards issued in early 2021. Among the issues being discussed are the standards to be used for collecting occupational data, the development of protocols for collection of dermal data, and the protocols for environmental hazard testing.

Information on the January 2021 Test Orders can be found here.
