Summary
The bill changes the Toxic Substances Control Act so that chemical testing must use technically feasible methods and follow OECD guidelines, and it forces the EPA to consider other federal safety rules, like OSHA standards, when evaluating risks. It also adds longer public‑comment periods, regular testing updates, and a formal inter‑agency review process to make risk assessments more transparent and accountable. The changes affect chemical manufacturers, the EPA, and other federal agencies that regulate chemicals.
