Dear Chair Pingree, Chair Merkley, Ranking Member Joyce and Ranking Member Murkowski,
"We urge you to fully fund the President’s FY2023 budget request for implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Fully funding this request would provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the resources to successfully administer its greater responsibilities under TSCA as amended in 2016 by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (2016 Lautenberg Act). This important bipartisan law is key to protecting people from chemical hazards in their workplaces, homes, and communities. However, EPA’s implementation of the 2016 Lautenberg Act has been impeded by a lack of sufficient funds and staff."
