As TSCA Reform Stalls, Officials Urge Passage Of Key Chemicals Treaties

摘要

Senior administration officials are strongly reiterating the case for Congress to ratify and implement two key international treaties on restricting hazardous chemicals, though passage of the necessary legislation - currently contained in bills reforming EPA's chemical safety program-is stalled.rnSpeaking at a Sept. 23 briefing sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Dan Reifsnyder, of the State Department, said passage of the necessary legislation "could be a bipartisan win" and noted that the treaties are already on the priority list for Senate ratification.
