"The EPA should use its legal powers to get exposure and other data from chemical companies, according to representatives of organizations that normally disagree over how the agency implements the nation’s primary chemicals law.
The EPA “has yet to use that authority even one time” since the Toxic Substances Control Act was overhauled in 2016, said Michal Freedhoff, director of oversight for Democrats on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s decision not to use that authority is “egregious” and shows the agency is failing to implement the TSCA amendments as Congress intended, Freedhoff said at a June 24 event titled “TSCA: Three Years Later.”"
