This week, I sat down with Jim Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant at B&C and its consulting affiliate, The Acta Group. As many of our listeners know, Jim is a former Assistant Administrator of the Toxics office at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He has worked on Capitol Hill as a pesticide policy expert and a keen student of all things political. We discuss what to expect in 2024 from the Hill and EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) when it comes to key chemical matters. We cover a lot of territory -- EPA staffing deficits, a deeply divided Congress, and the many challenging legal, scientific, and policy issues that this OCSPP is tasked with solving, or at least managing, in 2024 as it stares down national elections in about 10 months and all the uncertainty that fact invites.
