Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2014

Support the EPA taking actions to protect communities and ecosystems from mountaintop removal mining. Support the EPA using its authority under Section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act to protect Bristol Bay from large-scale mining projects like the Pebble Mine.Support for H.R. 1921, the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2013, which would require disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids and would remove the oil and gas industrys exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Work to strengthen S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to update the Toxic Substances Control Act to better protect public health and the environment from toxic chemicals. Opposition to H.R. 2641, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorating Development Act of 2013, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and, consequently, the quality and integrity of federal agency decisions. Encourage the EPA and DHS to strengthen risk prevention practices at chemical management facilities to protect public health and safety. Oppose H.R. 3830 and S 1900, The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act, which would revive the outdated and unsound 2002 Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority mechanism, undermining Congress ability to ensure trade agreements do not negatively impact our public health and environment laws and regulations. Support the Ban Poisonous Additives Act of 2014 (S. 2572/H.R. 5033), which bans bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and requires the FDA to review the safety of other chemicals in food packaging. Support the Protecting Americas Families from Toxic Chemicals Act of 2014, which directs the EPA to identify and phase out persistent, bioaccumulative toxicant chemicals (PBTs) within five years, and also identifies 22 known PBTs for immediate phase out for non-essential uses. Support the Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2014, which directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban the top ten most dangerous flame retardants from upholstered furniture and childrens products, and establishes a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel to research the need for additional future bans.
