Beck, Controversial Trump Toxics Chief, Leads Push For Implementing TSCA

摘要

Nancy Beck, for now the top Trump toxics appointee at EPA, is leading the administration's efforts to implement the reformed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), detailing in an exclusive interview with Inside EPA the challenges she sees even as the former industry lobbyist faces new criticisms for rewriting TSCA rules based on industry comments. "Our biggest challenge will be implementing TSCA," Beck, the principal deputy assistant administration for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), told Inside EPA in written responses to questions. The responses are available on InsideEPA.com. (Doc. ID: 206286) Beck's responses came days before current and former agency staff and career officials pointed to the former American Chemistry Council (ACC) toxicologist as leading the Trump administration's re-write of the Obama administration's proposed "framework rules" necessary to implement the new TSCA.
