The hearing follows on a series of five stakeholder meetings held between EPW staff and both industry and environmental advocacy groups. It is the first sign in quite a while of potential movement in the seemingly futile attempt to modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The lack of movement is despite support for TSCA reform by both industry and advocacy groups.
Scheduled to provide testimony at the hearing are:
Mr. Ted Sturdevant
Director, Department of Ecology
State of Washington
Ms. Charlotte Brody Director of Chemicals, Public Health and Green Chemistry BlueGreen Alliance |
Mr. Cal Dooley President and CEO American Chemistry Council |
Mr. Robert Matthews McKenna Long & Aldridge |
Dr. Richard Denison, Ph.D. Senior Scientist Environmental Defense Fund |
