20tn Anniversary

Toxic Substances Control Act
1996

-------
 Today we celebrate one of the most
 important of our nation's environmental
 laws. Over the past 20 years, the Toxic
 Substances Control Act has enabled
 EPA to protect public health and our
 environment in many significant ways.
   From 1976 to 1981, the focus was
 on creating a foundation for implement-
 ing TSCA. Considerable time and re-
 sources were spent on developing the
 Premanufacture Notification (PMN)
program for new chemicals,  develop-
 ing the TSCA Inventory and implement-
 ing the ban on PCBs. During the period
from 1981 to 1986, significant progress
 was made in implementing TSCA's key
provisions. Rules requiring recordkeep-
 ing were issued and PMN regulations
 were finalized. TSCA authority was
 clarified during 1986 to 1991 through
 a series of major court decisions. Since
 1992, EPA has expanded our programs
 to prevent pollution, promote the public's
 right to know about toxic chemicals in  the
 community, and work with the industry to
 design clean products and processes. The
 TSCA program is -working closely with
 these efforts.
   Many people with vision and energy
 have made TSCA a valuable tool for
public health and environmental protec-
 tion. I want to thank each of you for your
 efforts on behalf of the American people
 and our environment. You have helped
 make TSCA an environmental success
 story. Well done!
