The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) issued the following
statement recognizing the progress made by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to increase the throughput of new chemical
pre-manufacturing notices under the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) Section 5, the “New Chemicals Program,” as updated by the
Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act (LCSA):
“Administrator Pruitt and his team at the EPA have made great
progress over a very short period of time to accelerate new
chemical reviews, providing American manufacturers with new and
safe materials that will help drive innovation and manufacturing
growth,” said Mike Witt, Dow’s corporate director, Health and
Environmental Research, Consulting and Services. “The historic and
bipartisan Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act passed last year
represented both a significant opportunity and challenge to the EPA
to deliver an enhanced, more efficient chemicals review process and
thus far the EPA is making great progress to advance those
objectives.”
