EPA chemicals chief wants TSCA fees focused on manufacturers

摘要

As the US EPA prepares to release its proposal to update the TSCA fees rule, the agency is looking at ways to keep charges for administering risk evaluations focused on chemical manufacturers, the head of the agency’s chemicals office has said. The agency is "looking at the types of entities that would be subject to fees to make sure that TSCA fees are really focused on the manufacturers of chemicals", Alexandra Dunn EPA assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) said on 16 October, during the final day of Chemical Watch’s three-day conference on key regulatory updates for Europe, Asia and the Americas.
