Herb Estreicher and David Fischer Quoted in Inside TSCA Article on EPA’s Proposed TSCA Rules for 2023

Keller and Heckman attorneys Herb Estreicher and David Fischer were quoted in the Inside TSCA article, “EPA Readies Precedent-Setting TSCA Rules For Bolstered 2023 Agenda,” which discusses EPA’s proposed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) rules for 2023. The rules will likely set a new precedent for the program, specifically regarding industry fees and procedures for reviewing new chemicals and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting. The article mentions Keller and Heckman’s December 14, 2022, TSCA 30/30 webinar, where Herb and David discussed several routes that could be taken to advance their petition for substantive changes to TSCA regulations governing reviews of new chemicals, emphasizing the importance of gaining support from the House’s new Republican majority. David explained during the webinar that, “Particularly the House side has, and will continue to have, keen interest in this petition and in the new chemical program in general, that might lead to some advancement of what we’ve suggested in this petition.” David goes on to say, “In the new year we hope to touch base with the agency, reach out to the new chemical program, I know there’s interest on the Hill. Obviously, Congress amended [TSCA] and has a keen interest in understanding how things are going.”
