SOCMA Urges EPA To Cut Costs Of TSCA Inventory Rule, Citing Trump's EO

摘要

Chemical and other industry officials are urging EPA to revise its proposed rule updating and and resetting its inventory of chemicals in the U.S. marketplace so that it cuts costs and eases compliance, with one group saying that such changes will help the agency comply with President Donald Trump's executive order capping rules' costs. In recently posted comments on EPA's proposed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) inventory update rule, the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA), which represents small batch and specialty chemical companies, recommends that EPA require only one company to report each chemical to the agency for it to be considered listed on the inventory.
