Legislation surrounding the regulation of PFAS chemicals. Including that the federal government should implement a consistent approach for assessing and regulating specific PFAS with clear timelines, regulations should be based on sound science, specific PFAS compounds should be regulated based on risk to protect human health and the environment, PFAS chemistries should be regulated independently - not as a single group, and Congress should provide regulatory agencies with the proper oversight and funding necessary to evaluate and address specific priority PFAS. Bills include H.R. 535 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D), S. 638 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Sen. Tom Carper (D), S. 950 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D), H.R. 1976 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Rep.

Ben Ray Lujan (D). Opposition to H.R. 535 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D) - The House Committee on Energy and Commerce approved H.R. 535 in November 2019 by a vote of 31 - 19 and a full House vote is expected in 2020. Legislation surrounding the regulation of ethylene oxide. Opposition to companion bills H.R.1152 - no title - introduced by Reps. Schneider (D), Lipinski (D), Foster (D), Casten (D), and Underwood (D) and S.458. - no title - introduced by Sens. Durbin (D-IL) & Duckworth (D-IL). These bills require the Environmental Protection Agency to amend its regulations to revise the standards for the emission of ethylene oxide. Specifically, regulations must be revised based on results from the National Center for Environmental Assessment report titled Evaluation of the Inhalation Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide. These bills also require revisions to apply maximum achievable control technology requirements to chamber exhaust vents. Maximum achievable control technology standards are established for sources of hazardous air pollutants to limit or control emissions. Lastly, these bills he EPA must notify the public of violations under the revised standards, and failure to do so will result in an investigation to assess the health risks and prevent a future failure of notification. Additionally, opposition to H.R. 1165 (introduced by Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL)) and S. 451 (introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), the Expanding Transparency of Information and Safeguarding Toxics Act of 2019 or the ETO is Toxic Act. This bill updates requirements for chemicals that pose an adverse public health risk. Specifically, the bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish an updated National Air Toxics Assessment once every two years. The assessment uses emissions data to estimate health risks from toxic air pollutants. The bill also requires the EPA to use data from its Integrated Risk Information System when conducting rulemaking with respect to chemicals that have been assessed in the system. For chemicals that are found to pose an adverse health risk, the EPA shall identify and do an additional review on facilities that are significant sources of the chemical to determine whether the facility poses an adverse public health risk. Under the bill, chemicals identified as carcinogenic in the system must have a toxic chemical release form completed by the owner or operator of a facility. Legislation surrounding the reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Securitys CFATS program was set to expire on April 18, 2020, at the beginning of the calendar year. On June 13, 2019, U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-LA) introduced H.R. 3256, the Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2019, along with original cosponsor Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS). NACD remained neutral on the legislation. H.R. 3256 would reauthorize the CFATS program for five years in addition to comprehensive changes to the program that NACD opposed. On March 5, 2020, U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (HSGAC) Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) introduced S. 3416, the Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2020. S. 3416 would extend the CFATS program for 5-years while also making comprehensive changes to the program in the areas of labor representation, information sharing, and whistleblower protections. NACD remained neutral on the legislation while seeking minor changes to the language in the issue areas above. On March 27, 2020, H.R. 748 became Public Law Number 116-136 following its passage through the Senate on March 25, 2020, and through the House of Representatives on March 27, 2020. NACD was supportive of this legislation. Specifically, NACD advocated for and was supportive of the inclusion of a 3-month and 5-day of the CFATS program expiration date. Effectively moving the program's expiration date from April 18, 2020, to July 23, 2020. While NACD would have preferred a longer-term extension or comprehensive reauthorization, NACD advocated foremost for Congress to not risk the program expiring while the U.S. and the world are dealing with the impact of COVID-19.

Legislation surrounding the regulation of PFAS chemicals. Including that the federal government should implement a consistent approach for assessing and regulating specific PFAS with clear timelines, regulations should be based on sound science, specific PFAS compounds should be regulated based on risk to protect human health and the environment, PFAS chemistries should be regulated independently - not as a single group, and Congress should provide regulatory agencies with the proper oversight and funding necessary to evaluate and address specific priority PFAS.

Legislation surrounding the regulation of PFAS chemicals. Including that the federal government should implement a consistent approach for assessing and regulating specific PFAS with clear timelines, regulations should be based on sound science, specific PFAS compounds should be regulated based on risk to protect human health and the environment, PFAS chemistries should be regulated independently - not as a single group, and Congress should provide regulatory agencies with the proper oversight and funding necessary to evaluate and address specific priority PFAS. Bills include H.R. 535 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D), S. 638 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Sen. Tom Carper (D), S. 950 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D), H.R. 1976 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Rep.

Ben Ray Lujan (D). Support of legislation championed by Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY), Ranking Member Tom Carper (D-DE), and Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), S. 1507, the PFAS Release Disclosure Act, was considered in committee and simultaneously filed as an amendment to S. 1790, the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was headed to the Senate floor the following week. The bipartisan Senate PFAS package would require a wide variety of actions by various federal agencies, but nothing of great concern. S. 1790 was passed by the Senate June 27, 2019, by a recorded vote of 86-8. Legislation in opposition of the Houses version of the NDAA, H.R. 2500, passed the House July 12, 2019, by a recorded vote of 220-197. The final bill contains PFAS provisions similar to those in the Senate bill, but with some significant differences. Most notably, the House approved an amendment offered by Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Dan Kildee (D-MI), requiring the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to list all PFAS as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. The hazardous substance issue is important and controversial because of its liability implications. A final product between the competing House and Senate NDAA bills is now being negotiated by a conference committee and remains unresolved. Legislation surrounding the regulation of ethylene oxide. Opposition to companion bills H.R.1152 - no title - introduced by Reps. Schneider (D), Lipinski (D), Foster (D), Casten (D), and Underwood (D) and S.458. - no title - introduced by Sens. Durbin (D-IL) & Duckworth (D-IL). These bills require the Environmental Protection Agency to amend its regulations to revise the standards for the emission of ethylene oxide. Specifically, regulations must be revised based on results from the National Center for Environmental Assessment report titled Evaluation of the Inhalation Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide. These bills also require revisions to apply maximum achievable control technology requirements to chamber exhaust vents. Maximum achievable control technology standards are established for sources of hazardous air pollutants to limit or control emissions. Lastly, these bills he EPA must notify the public of violations under the revised standards, and failure to do so will result in an investigation to assess the health risks and prevent a future failure of notification. Additionally, opposition to H.R. 1165 (introduced by Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL)) and S. 451 (introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), the Expanding Transparency of Information and Safeguarding Toxics Act of 2019 or the ETO is Toxic Act. This bill updates requirements for chemicals that pose an adverse public health risk. Specifically, the bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish an updated National Air Toxics Assessment once every two years. The assessment uses emissions data to estimate health risks from toxic air pollutants. The bill also requires the EPA to use data from its Integrated Risk Information System when conducting rulemaking with respect to chemicals that have been assessed in the system. For chemicals that are found to pose an adverse health risk, the EPA shall identify and do an additional review on facilities that are significant sources of the chemical to determine whether the facility poses an adverse public health risk. Under the bill, chemicals identified as carcinogenic in the system must have a toxic chemical release form completed by the owner or operator of a facility.

Legislation surrounding the regulation of PFAS chemicals. Including that the federal government should implement a consistent approach for assessing and regulating specific PFAS with clear timelines, regulations should be based on sound science, specific PFAS compounds should be regulated based on risk to protect human health and the environment, PFAS chemistries should be regulated independently - not as a single group, and Congress should provide regulatory agencies with the proper oversight and funding necessary to evaluate and address specific priority PFAS. Bills include H.R. 535 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D), S. 638 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 - introduced by Sen. Tom Carper (D), S. 950 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D), H.R. 1976 - PFAS Detection Act - introduced by Rep.

Schneider (D), Lipinski (D), Foster (D), Casten (D), and Underwood (D) and S.458. - no title - introduced by Sens. Durbin (D-IL) & Duckworth (D-IL). These bills require the Environmental Protection Agency to amend its regulations to revise the standards for the emission of ethylene oxide. Specifically, regulations must be revised based on results from the National Center for Environmental Assessment report titled Evaluation of the Inhalation Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide. These bills also require revisions to apply maximum achievable control technology requirements to chamber exhaust vents. Maximum achievable control technology standards are established for sources of hazardous air pollutants to limit or control emissions. Lastly, these bills he EPA must notify the public of violations under the revised standards, and failure to do so will result in an investigation to assess the health risks and prevent a future failure of notification. Additionally, opposition to H.R. 1165 (introduced by Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL)) and S. 451 (introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), the Expanding Transparency of Information and Safeguarding Toxics Act of 2019 or the ETO is Toxic Act. This bill updates requirements for chemicals that pose an adverse public health risk. Specifically, the bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish an updated National Air Toxics Assessment once every two years. The assessment uses emissions data to estimate health risks from toxic air pollutants. The bill also requires the EPA to use data from its Integrated Risk Information System when conducting rulemaking with respect to chemicals that have been assessed in the system. For chemicals that are found to pose an adverse health risk, the EPA shall identify and do an additional review on facilities that are significant sources of the chemical to determine whether the facility poses an adverse public health risk. Under the bill, chemicals identified as carcinogenic in the system must have a toxic chemical release form completed by the owner or operator of a facility. Legislation surrounding the reauthorization of the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. NACD supported the passage of H.R. 251 - the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Program Extension Act - introduced by House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and would provide a clean two-year extension of the CFATS program. NACD supported the House passage of H.R. 251 by a vote of 414-3. Shortly after House passage, U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (HSGAC) Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and HSGAC Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI) agreed on an amendment to H.R. 251, changing the length of the extension to 15 months. NACD supported the Senate passage of the Senate-amended H.R. 251 by voice vote, sending it back to the House for final approval. On January 17, 2019, the House passed the Senate-amended H.R. 251 by voice vote which provided a clean 15-month extension of the CFATS program the day the program was set to expire. NACD continues to work closely with Congress and other stakeholders to ensure the continued viability of the CFATS program without interruption and to promote a multi-year reauthorization that includes the establishment of a CFATS Recognition Program.
