WHY
On June 7, 2016, the U.S. Senate approved the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 2576) by voice vote, following the U.S. House of Representatives’ prior approval of the bill on May 24, 2016. The bill has gone to the president, who has ten days (excluding Sundays) to sign it, and he is expected to do so.
WHAT
Please join Dentons US LLP, co-sponsored by CSPA, by webinar or in person for an overview of the bill’s changes to the current Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), with a focus on issues of importance to processors of chemical substances and mixtures.

- New prioritization, risk evaluation, and regulation of existing substances
- New reporting of substances “active” in U.S. commerce
- New requirements for confidential business information claims
- New preemption of state and local laws
