Letter to House Committee on Energy and Commerce on Reopening of TSCA
January 23, 2026
A bipartisan Congress passed the 1976 Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) and strengthened its provisions in 2016 to review that “large body of science” and address the human health impacts of phthalates and other hazardous chemicals. The 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act allowed the EPA to initiate a long overdue effort to review the scientific evidence and restrict the chemicals that were doing the most harm to the health of the American people.
In this letter, BGA opposes the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to reopen the Toxics Substances Control Act.
