Michael’s presentation is “Are You Ready?: Revisions to TSCA from the Chemical Safety (Lautenberg) Act”.   The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) developed the standard for domestic industrial chemical management and evaluating chemicals in production, import, use, and disposal.  In 2016, TSCA was revised in the Chemical Safety (Lautenberg) Act to incorporate key changes to the CDR reporting on Form U and the fundamental shifts in requirement and approach to chemical management that impacts facilities and industry.   These revisions and key changes to reporting on the EPA CDR reporting including industrial processing and use, confidentiality claims, recycling, a new definition of small manufacturers, revised Costs, reporting Deadline, new definitions, and the possible exemptions available to manufacturers and importers.
