More than 100 organizations including the American Chemistry Council have written a letter to Congressional Leaders to strengthen the Toxic Substances Control Act implementation with an aim to support U.S. innovation & manufacturing.

Washington/USA – The American Chemistry Council (ACC), and coalition of more than 100 stakeholders representing America’s largest manufacturing trade organizations, have joined together to call on Congress to improve the ongoing implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and help ensure a regulatory system that protects public health and the environment while supporting American innovation and manufacturing competitiveness.

In a letter addressed to House and Senate committee leaders, a coalition of organizations representing a broad spectrum of the economy and sectors, emphasized the need for a risk-based, science-driven approach to chemical regulations that avoids unnecessary delays and regulatory uncertainty.

“TSCA was designed to foster innovation and economic growth while protecting human health and the environment,” the coalition states in the letter. “Nearly a decade after the 2016 reforms, it’s time to make targeted improvements that will strengthen scientific standards, ensure timely reviews, and provide clarity for manufacturers.”

The letter addressed to Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) and House Energy and Commerce (E&C) bipartisan leadership, outlines key recommendations for Congress as it considers extending TSCA fees authority before its expiration in September 2026, including:

Ensuring timely and predictable reviews of new chemicals.

Avoiding unnecessary regulations that discourage the adoption of innovative and sustainable chemistries.

Maintaining a risk-based approach rooted in real-world conditions of use;

Strengthening scientific standards for decision-making;

Providing clarity on testing, petitions, and data-sharing provisions.

The coalition notes that these improvements are essential to maintaining TSCA as a gold standard chemical management system and to supporting America’s manufacturing sector’s ability to innovate in the United States and to compete globally.

“We recognize this will not be a simple undertaking and will require support from a range of stakeholders both within and outside of Congress,” the letter states. “The need for Congress to extend TSCA fee authority in 2026 provides a ripe opportunity to improve TSCA,” the letter concludes.
