NACD Expresses Concerns with EPA TSCA Fees Revisions Proposed Rule
ARLINGTON, VA — The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) recently submitted comments in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Proposed Rule on Fees for the Administration of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0493.
NACD reported that it has substantial concerns with EPA’s proposed rule because it proposes to nearly double the cost of risk evaluations unjustifiably and adds three unnecessary new fee categories for EPA activities. Furthermore, NACD states that the proposed rule fails to provide adequate information on and justification for EPA’s proposed cost increases.
