On June 10, 2026, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®), the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), and the George Washington University (GWU) Milken Institute School of Public Health presented “TSCA Reform — Ten Years Later.” This virtual conference marked the tenth Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Annual Conference, reflecting on the accomplishments and challenges since the implementation of the 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg Act) and where TSCA stands today. Speakers covered a variety of topics, including the risk evaluation framework; risk management rules; new chemical review; ten years of the Lautenberg Act; and the prospects for TSCA reform. The fact that there were more than 1,000 registrants demonstrates the growing and continuous interest in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) challenging implementation of TSCA. A recording of the conference is available online. The conference materials are available on the ELI website.
