Prompted by important developments that have occurred since the
publication of the third edition eight years ago, the newly updated TSCA
Handbook provides anyone who manufactures, processes, distributes, or
uses chemicals with a comprehensive look at their requirements under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Practical and informative, this
ready reference details current regulation under TSCA. It examines the
Environmental Protection Agency's program for evaluation and regulating
new substances, and it discusses PMN preparations and follow through,
inspections and audits, and more. Developments addressed in this edition
include the following: changes to the Inventory Update Rule, new
voluntary testing initiatives, new enforcement policies and rules,
revised PCB regulations regarding contaminated sites, and increased
maximum civil penalties.
