The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) presents "Analyzing the EPA’s Proposal to List PFAS Chemicals as Hazardous Substances." Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule designating perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) as “hazardous substances” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This webinar will discuss what this designation will mean for products regulation and for Superfund sites. Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing Partner, Bergeson & Campbell P.C. (B&C^®) will present. 

This webinar reviewed how the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability is fundamentally reshaping the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) regulations in ways that are resetting the global stage in terms of identifying new hazard classes and New Approach Methodologies (NAM) for identifying them. Watch now. 

Chemicals Management for Electronics, presented by Chemical Watch, is a two-day virtual conference offering the latest information and advice on chemicals management and restrictions in electronics.  Day one will focuse on regulatory updates and the latest on substances, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) while day two will cover e-waste and eco-design, followed by a look at the circular economy and batteries. Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing Partner, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®), will present "USA EPA and TSCA updates for the electronics sector" on December 13, 2022. 

When the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused its attention on chemical substances and chemical mixtures, while largely exempting the regulation of chemicals in “articles,” generally meaning finished products or manufactured goods. EPA’s more recent announcement of its intent to regulate chemicals in articles to a much greater extent has caught many in the regulated industries off guard and reflects a significant shift in U.S. chemical regulation policy. This change in policy affects all commercial entities that deal with a physical product, as they must now become familiar with the law, its requirements, and the chemical makeup of their finished goods. During this webinar, Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., Eve Gartner, and Lynn L. Bergeson discuss the policy changes that led to the regulation of articles, EPA’s authority to regulate these articles, and what companies need to know to stay in compliance. Watch now.

HCPA’s Annual Meeting, XPAND2022, is the premier conference to learn about and engage on the public policy issues that impact the household and commercial products industry. Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., Director of Chemistry, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®) will present "Preemption Under TSCA and FIFRA" during the Regulatory Affairs Council session and on the unique challenges that TSCA can pose for commercializing biobased chemistries during "Cleaning Products Division | Biological Task Force." B&C is a proud sponsor.
