Government Shutdown Could Slow TSCA Chemical Reviews and Enforcement

A lapse in federal appropriations ought to delay EPA review of recent chemicals and hazard analyzing under TSCA, generating operational and compliance challenges for U.S. Chemical corporations.

Bergeson & Campbell, P.C., a Washington D.C. law corporation targeted on chemical regulations, stated the government shutdown will drastically impact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

James V. Aidala, Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., and L. Claire Hansen of the organization, emphasized in a recent public policy and regulation blog how even short lapses in appropriations ought to disrupt vital EPA functions.

The corporation mentioned that TSCA depends on statutory deadlines, inclusive of strict timelines for latest chemical reviews underneath Section 5 and risk evaluations and risk control rules beneath Section 6. During a investment lapse, EPA would reportedly halt reviews of pre-production notices and other latest chemical submissions. Although submissions can still be made by the Central Data Exchange, reviews would now not resume until team of workers return to work and operating funds are restored. Earlier shutdowns suggest backlogs can persist for months after funding resumes.

The firm also noted that implementation could be decreased during a shutdown. While statutory necessities continue to be in force, fewer inspections and oversight generate uncertainty for regulated entities. Corporations need to maintain compliance, as EPA can reportedly allege violations as much as 5 years after an infraction.

The corporations cited the 2018–2019 government shutdown, which lasted 34 days, as an instance of ways rapidly TSCA timelines can fall out of sync and generate operational bottlenecks. States with independent chemical protection programs might also continue operations, probably generating an uneven regulatory landscape for corporations operating in multiple jurisdictions.

For chemical producers, importers, and downstream users, shutdown-associated delays could mean lost manufacturing time, better prices, and competitive benefits. Stakeholders in the chemical regulatory space need to look at funding negotiations carefully and plan for potential effects, stated the authors.
