The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is part of the Institute’s three priority objectives. Modernizing TSCA will go a long way toward enhancing the public’s confidence in responsible management and regulation of chemicals. Legislation to reauthorize the TSCA was unveiled in Spring 2010. A key ACI goal in TSCA modernization is to ensure members’ ability to innovate and formulate. ACI has been working with allied formulated product associations and manufacturers in developing its positions on the bills. An ACI multi-disciplinary TSCA Task Force has been created to review industry proposals for TSCA reform. ACI is committed to targeted risk-management measures that focus priorities and are practical, timely, transparent and responsive to the needs of consumers and other stakeholders. The resulting program should encourage innovation and acknowledge the benefits our products provide to enhance health and the quality of life.The following files are documents detailing policy issues and concepts of significant interest in support of this priority.
