TSCA: Get It Right
6/7/2010
The chemical industry is constantly pushing the boundaries of science and our imagination to make some of the most groundbreaking, efficient products that make their way into 96% of all manufactured goods. However, the laws regulating chemicals have not kept up; in fact, they have not been updated for 34 years. The chemical industry knows it's time to modernize the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the law that covers the production and use of chemicals in the US.

STOP THE BAG TAX BEFORE SACRAMENTO POLITICIANS TAX YOU AGAIN!
Sacramento politicians unable to solve our real problems are about to impose the equivalent of a $1 billion dollar tax increase that will affect all Californians. The State Assembly is about to vote on a bill (AB 1998) that would require every single Californian who buys food or other items from supermarkets, drug stores or convenience stores to PAY for PAPER BAGS and FINE ANY STORE that gives you a plastic or even a paper bag for free!

Concerned about EPA Action on Dioxin Levels
5/13/2010
The EPA is out of step with the rest of the world and science and is expected to set the threshold more than 4 times more stringent than any other country or the World Health Organization. The EPA has set a December, 2010 deadline for finalizing the dioxin reassessment. ACC believes it is appropriate for EPA to ensure that dioxin health risk is assessed as accurately as possible taking into account the success of efforts already underway, and regulate accordingly, however, we are concerned that the EPA will unduly regulate dioxins beyond what is appropriate to ensure public health or is possible given the fact that they are natural occurring compounds.
