Historical Overview
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Principal law regulating chemical substances
Enacted in 1976; largely unchanged in key respects
Administered by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
![Page 3: International Bar Association Conference Health Issues Related to Exposures to Chemicals Lynn L. Bergeson Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071717/56649e225503460f94b0fe3c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.3
Historical Overview (cont’d)
TSCA’s Roots Go Back To 1971
CEQ determined existing statutory measures were inadequate
Several well publicized events hastened TSCA’s enactment:
Vinyl chloride Asbestos PCBs

Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.4
Historical Overview (cont’d)
TSCA Title I -- Core Provisions
Data development (Section 4) Premarket review (Section 5) Inventory (Section 8) CBI (Section 14)
Other TSCA Titles
Title II -- Asbestos Title III -- Radon Title IV -- Lead-based paint

TSCA Today
Successes
TSCA Inventory process works well IUR/IURA reporting
Challenges
Data development is difficult and often contentious CBI is difficult to implement TSCA Section 5 new chemical reviews can be
protracted

Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.7
EPA Policy Initiatives
TSCA -- Expanding Jurisdictional Reach
Voluntary Initiatives Voluntary Children’s Chemical Evaluation Program
(VCCEP)
High Production Volume (HPV)
Other Targeted Initiatives
PBT Endocrine disruption Asbestos/durable fibers

Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.10
Drivers
Private Sector -- accountability/responsibility, precaution/prevention
Government Sector -- accountability/ responsibility/enhanced sensitivity to NGO pressures and greater reliance on policy directives and guidance
![Page 11: International Bar Association Conference Health Issues Related to Exposures to Chemicals Lynn L. Bergeson Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071717/56649e225503460f94b0fe3c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.11
Trends/Developments
Volunteerism -- HPV, VCCEP
Transparency -- EPCRA, TRI, CERHR
Hazard Management vs. Risk Management -- enhanced need to manage based on hazard as opposed to risk due largely to perception of risk from hazard
![Page 12: International Bar Association Conference Health Issues Related to Exposures to Chemicals Lynn L. Bergeson Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071717/56649e225503460f94b0fe3c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.12
Trends/Developments (cont’d)
Product Substitution -- the logical consequences of both hazard and risk management
Enhanced Awareness of Sensitive Subpopulations -- CDC National Exposure Report, children’s health issues, consumer applications of products with chemical components, etc.

Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.13
Trends/Developments (cont’d)
Global Management of Risks/Data Development -- private sector increasingly taking the long view toward product management
Integrated Data Development -- growing awareness across statutes, FIFRA/TSCA cross over
