B&C; and Lynn L. Bergeson,
B&C will address TSCA Sections 8(a), 8(c), 8(d), and 8(e),
reminding participants about chemical data reporting (CDR),
describing the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) data
reporting rule, and discussing EPA's consideration of a tiered data
reporting (TDR) rule.
WASHINGTON, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been using its Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Section 8 authorities in new and different ways. These TSCA
reporting obligations have been of interest to stakeholders,
raising many good questions and interest in understanding why EPA
is seeking information, how it relies upon the information it
receives, and what is in scope under the various reporting
obligations. We here at Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.
(B&C®) think it is timely to schedule a webinar on
TSCA Section 8 authorities and how EPA is implementing these
authorities to assist in achieving TSCA goals. Registration is open
now.
These TSCA reporting obligations have been
of interest to stakeholders, raising many good questions and
interest in understanding why EPA is seeking information, how it
relies upon the information it receives, and what is in scope under
the various reporting obligations.
We intend to address TSCA Sections 8(a), 8(c), 8(d), and 8(e),
reminding participants about chemical data reporting (CDR),
describing the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) data
reporting rule, and discussing EPA's consideration of a tiered data
reporting (TDR) rule.
B&C appreciates that EPA is working hard to reach out to
traditional and non-traditional TSCA stakeholders. We see this
webinar as an opportunity to address why these reporting
authorities are critically important for the regulated community to
share information and for EPA to consider such information in its
regulatory initiatives.
Topics Covered:
- TSCA Section 8(a)
- CDR Rule
- PFAS Data Reporting Rule
- Consideration of Potential TDR Rule
- TSCA Section 8(c): Allegations, Recordkeeping, and
Production
- TSCA Section 8(d): Health and Safety Data Reporting (and
current proposal)
- TSCA Section 8(e): Notification of Substantial Risk
Speakers Include:
Dave Turk has been working at EPA
on Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) regulatory and policy activities
for 13 years. Additionally, Dave has supervised certain TSCA
activities authorized under Sections 4 and 8 for the past three
years, including the activities that will be discussed during the
webinar. Throughout his service at EPA, Dave has supported
rulemakings, designed improvements to information technology (IT)
systems, and helped develop policy responses.
Stephanie Griffin has worked for
EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP)
since 2016. Throughout her time there, she has supported regulatory
activities for the TRI program. Over the past four years, she has
also helped develop reporting rules and other data call-ins under
TSCA Section 8, including the Section 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting
rule.
Richard E. Engler, Ph.D. is
Director of Chemistry with B&C. Dr. Engler is a 17-year veteran
of EPA and is one of the most widely recognized experts in the
field of green chemistry, having served as senior staff scientist
in EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) and
leader of EPA's Green Chemistry Program. He has participated in
thousands of TSCA substance reviews at EPA, as well as pre-notice
and post-review meetings with submitters to resolve complex or
difficult cases, and he draws upon this invaluable experience to
assist B&C clients as they develop and commercialize novel
chemistries.
Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing
Partner, B&C, has earned an international reputation for her
deep and expansive understanding of how regulatory programs pertain
to nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology, synthetic biology, and
other emerging transformative technologies. Ms. Bergeson counsels
corporations, trade associations, and business consortia on a wide
range of issues pertaining to chemical hazard, exposure and risk
assessment, risk communication, minimizing legal liability, and
evolving regulatory and policy matters.
