Abstract

The debate over TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) reform in the United States seems to be mature and is reaching a conclusion. By the end of the first session of the 114th Congress in 2015, the Hose of Representatives passed the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015, while the Senate passed the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. And the reconciliation process is underway. This Note analyzes these two TSCA reform bills and compares them briefly, through which the convergence and divergence of the debate would emerge. Such comparison would make it possible to rough out some parts of the TSCA amendment which Congress will pass in the near future. This Note would focus on two significant dimensions of chemical substance management legislation: (1) development and collection of risk data on existing chemicals, which serve as primary basis of the risk management decision; and (2) risk management measures, notably diversity of them.
