Editor's Insights: Chemical Product Law and Supply Chain Stewardship: A Guide to New TSCA


Listen Later

Amy L. Edwards, environmental partner at Holland & Knight, sits down with Lynn L. Bergeson, managing partner at Bergeson & Campbell and editor of Chemical Product Law and Supply Chain Stewardship: A Guide to New TSCA. Together they examine how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) evolving implementation of the 2016 amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has reshaped regulatory compliance expectations across the manufacturing and chemical sectors.   The discussion highlights how TSCA’s commercial implications—ranging from market access limitations and import controls to supply chain transparency and investor risk—extend well beyond regulatory counsel. With the upcoming PFAS reporting mandate under TSCA Section 8(a)(7), companies face a one-time obligation to disclose manufacturing or importing activity dating back to 2011, without the benefit of typical exemptions for byproducts or impurities.   The speaker's discussion emphasizes how due diligence, particularly in M&A contexts, must now account for latent TSCA noncompliance risks that could disrupt operations or jeopardize transactions. As Bergeson notes, TSCA affects even those not traditionally seen as compliance stakeholders—such as procurement officers and sourcing teams—underscoring the need for enterprise-wide awareness of regulatory responsibilities.   This conversation is essential listening for legal practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance officers, supply chain managers, and investors seeking a practical and strategic understanding of TSCA’s current enforcement landscape.    Get your copy of Chemical Product Law and Supply Chain Stewardship: A Guide to New TSCA.
