Obama has just signed the new TSCA law June 22, 2016. Now the fun begins: What does all its new language mean? How will EPA interpret it? When will the first lawsuit be filed?
I'm glad I've retired. I wish you all the best in figuring it out!
EPA's site, with copy of new law: https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/frank-r-lautenberg-chemical-safety-21st-century-act
EPA's current implementation plan: https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/frank-r-lautenberg-chemical-safety-21st-century-act-2
