BANNOCKBURN, IL — IPC commends the US House of Representatives for passing the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015.

IPC supports bipartisan efforts to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976, appreciating the bipartisan leadership of House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ), as well as subcommittee Chairman John Shimkus (R-IL) and Ranking Member Paul Tonko (D-NY), and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).                                                    

IPC also applauds Reps. Bill Johnson (R-OH) and Kurt Schrader (D-OR) for their efforts to reform the current TSCA reporting requirements that create an incentive to landfill byproducts rich in valuable minerals, rather than recycle them.

The committee report includes guidance to the US EPA to take appropriate action, says IPC.
