U.S. Senate Committee Examines Discussion Draft for TSCA Fee Reauthorization and New Chemical Review Reforms

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee held a legislative hearing to examine a discussion draft of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Fee Reauthorization and Improvement Act of 2026. The hearing addressed two critical priorities for the chemical industry: reauthorizing TSCA user fees, which are set to expire on September 30, 2026, and instituting structural reforms to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new chemical review process.
