Don’t forget to register for the newly formed ACC/API Naphthalene Workgroup webinar before August 6, 2024.
Naphthalene Webinar Scheduled for August 6, 2024: The newly formed Naphthalene Workgroup, a joint collaboration between the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the API - American Petroleum Institute, has scheduled an introductory webinar to outline the workgroup’s mission on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, from 11:00am-11:30am ET. ACC and API launched the Naphthalene Workgroup in June to respond to EPA’s forthcoming release of the draft IRIS Assessment for naphthalene in FY 2025and EPA’s eventual prioritization of naphthalene under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The Naphthalene Workgroup’s webinar will be a 30 minute event aimed at manufacturers and processors of naphthalene and related products. During this event, members of the workgroup will provide critical background on these federal actions and the potential impact on industry and how you can become involved. To register for the webinar, please visit https://ow.ly/PG3t50SGkYI. For more information about the workgroup and its planned approach, please contact Lynn Dekleva, American Chemistry Council, at lynn_dekleva@americanchemistry.com.

ACC and 12 trade associations are calling on Congressional Leadership to support the CRA disapproval resolutions against the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s finalized HON rule. As finalized, this rule could limit manufacture of chemistries needed for critical sectors, including agriculture, semiconductor, construction, healthcare, cleaning, transportation, and oil and gas. We urge Congress to approve this bipartisan resolution and look forward to continuing to engage with EPA to develop science-based regulations that support American competitiveness.

We applaud Chairman Tom Cole, Chairman Mike Simpson, and Rep. Michael Cloud for leading House Appropriations efforts to address EPA regulations that hurt innovation and undermine critical supply chains. Overly restrictive regulations based on EPA’s #IRIS program and EPA’s approach on #TSCA threaten needed products for critical sectors ranging from semiconductor development to agriculture to renewable energy. These appropriations measures are a critical step to protecting American Competitiveness. Read our letters on the impacts of #IRIS and #TSCA here: https://lnkd.in/eUmDxqRQ
