EPA received letter from Crenshaw regarding to TSCA

December 6, 2023

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a letter from a group of Republican Representatives on December 6, 2023, challenging the EPA's risk assessment of current chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). They express their concern in the letter that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)'s statutory obligations are being both subverted and replaced by the EPA's use of TSCA. The letter states that OSHA, for instance, establishes legally binding acceptable exposure limits (PEL) to shield employees from the negative health impacts of being around potentially hazardous substances.
