This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Connett, Partner with Siri & Glimstad, LLP to discuss his epic litigation representing Food & Water Watch, a non-profit consumer organization that sued EPA over the fluoridation of drinking water. This issue has a long and complicated administrative and litigation history, and Michael and his firm are actively engaged in a groundbreaking federal litigation based on a judicial appeal of a denied Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 21 citizen petition. Michael concluded a bench trial earlier this year in federal district court in the Northern District of California. The case is fascinating and much watched. We discuss the case, why TSCA citizen petitions in general are filed, Michael’s thoughts on how to prepare petitions to maximize their success (as most are denied), and other means of citizen engagement under TSCA.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with W. Scott Thurlow with Thurlow Law & Public Affairs, headquartered Ottawa, Ontario, about Canada’s most recent updated draft report on the state of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The updated draft report defines PFAS to exclude fluoropolymers, an issue in which Scott and his firm are deeply engaged. We discuss the draft report, Canada’s approach to the regulation of PFAS, and Scott’s practice as a Canadian lawyer and public affairs specialist.

This week, I welcomed to the studio Lara Hall, Senior Regulatory Scientist/Quality Assurance Specialist at B&C and our consulting affiliate, The Acta Group, to discuss the critical importance of understanding the role of the study sponsor. As our listeners know, chemical data -- testing results, chemical studies, exposure information, environmental fate and monitoring data, to name a few -- are the new currency in the chemical community. These data are incredibly valuable, often proprietary, and increasingly used both to support chemical applications and to rebut allegations of adverse consequences resulting from chemical exposure. How these data are developed, who serves as study sponsor, how the sponsor interacts with the study monitor, laboratory, and others are significant issues and subject to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards. Lara and I discuss GLP and the rights, duties, and obligations of all the actors involved in chemical testing and offer some tips and insights in managing this increasingly complicated space.

This week, I welcomed back to the studio Karin F. Baron, Director of Hazard Communication and International Registration Strategy at B&C and our consulting affiliate, The Acta Group. And none too soon. Just when you were giving up hope in tackling the monster final Hazard Communication Standard rule issued on May 20, you realized Karin and I are devoting an entire podcast to the final rule!
As many of you know, Karin is second to none when it comes to hazard communication, GHS, and related domestic and international hazard standards and communicating hazards to global stakeholders. There is no one better suited to discuss the final rule, what in the rule makes us happy, what remains a concern, and how best to read and digest the more than 300 pages of new hazard communication provisions.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Nora von Bergen, LL.M., a lawyer with Food Lex AG, to discuss her role as an accomplished food practitioner in Bern, Switzerland. Nora and I are both officers of the International Bar Association Agriculture and Food Law Section, and I have learned more over the past several years about Nora’s practice and find it fascinating. We discuss what Nora does at Food Lex and in that context, recent comprehensive amendments to Swiss food law that went into effect recently, and a few of the challenging legal issues Nora and her colleagues are addressing.

This week I discuss with my colleague, Heather Blankinship, Senior Scientist/Regulatory Consultant for B&C and The Acta Group, and Senior Manager for B&C® Consortia Management, L.L.C. (BCCM) to discuss the value of coalition advocacy, and its essentiality in the chemical space, especially now.
Heather manages many chemical coalitions and does a masterful job of managing issues and people. When you think about it, engaging commercial competitors to align on advocacy involving critically important regulatory, testing, and science policy issues is daunting. It involves strong communication skills, strong people skills, a keen understanding of the substantive issues, and endless patience. Heather explains how she does what she does, extolls the virtues of consortia advocacy, discusses some of BCCM’s successes, and explains why she and BCCM are as busy as they are these days.

This week I discuss with my colleague, Dr. Richard E. Engler, Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group, our consulting affiliate, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) important and recently issued first final risk management rule for chrysotile asbestos. Those of us in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) community know asbestos occupies a special place in TSCA’s checkered past, and EPA’s final rule is an important chapter in that book. Whether you care about asbestos or not, by any independent standard this final rule is a big deal for several reasons. There is no better expert than Rich Engler to discuss with me what this rule does, what it tells us about EPA’s approach to risk management under TSCA, why it is relevant to any chemical undergoing review by EPA, why in all probability neither industry nor the non-governmental organization (NGO) community is happy, and why litigation may well be in our future.

This week, I was excited to sit down with Jim Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant at B&C and its consulting affiliate, The Acta Group, to discuss FIFRA hot topics. For those of us who work in the complicated and ever-changing area of agricultural and biocidal products, federal and state regulation of ag products is often hard to understand and to monitor. Jim knows this space better than anyone, having worked on the Hill, led EPA’s toxics office, and now serving the private sector. We discuss tip-of-the-spear issues in 2024, including what to expect in pesticides when electing (2024 general elections and ag policy), the Endangered Species Act and the regulation of ag chemicals, Pesticide Registration Improve Act 5 (PRIA 5) issues, new policies relating to “free of” claims, and the regulation of pesticide devices. It’s a lot of real estate, but we enjoyed the ride.

This week I discuss with my colleague, Dr. Richard E. Engler, Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group, our consulting affiliate, the super-hot topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). PFAS, the class of so-called forever chemicals, are the talk of this town, and likely the talk of many jurisdictions given the intense global scrutiny all things PFAS endure. Rich and I focus our broad ranging discussion on federal TSCA reporting under TSCA Section 8(a)(7). We discuss what PFAS are reportable, what information is due and by when, why finished product importers are on the hook for reporting, why there is a 12-year look back, and the all-important topic of how much diligence is due before you conclude information is “not known or reasonably ascertainable.”

This week I had the distinct pleasure of visiting with former Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, the Honorable Leo E. Strine, Jr., Of Counsel, at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Judge Strine and I discuss the intense focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards and the pressures on corporate directors and managers occasioned by the Caremark decision and its progeny, among other developments. These initiatives have particular relevance to businesses many of our clients and listeners manage, as they often involve environmentally sensitive chemical products and manufacturing operations. We discuss Judge Strine’s thoughts on implementing ESG programs by building upon existing corporate compliance programs and how best to allocate compliance responsibilities between corporate boards and senior management.

This week I discuss with my colleague, Dr. Richard E. Engler, Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group, our consulting affiliate, what to expect in 2024 regarding TSCA developments. Rich is a leading voice on all things TSCA, especially new chemicals, and a widely sought after thought leader on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) implementation of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg), Congress’ 2016 amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). We begin with the most recent Senate hearing on TSCA on January 24 and then discuss Rich’s thoughts on key TSCA initiatives the rest of the year.

This week, I sat down with Jim Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant at B&C and its consulting affiliate, The Acta Group. As many of our listeners know, Jim is a former Assistant Administrator of the Toxics office at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He has worked on Capitol Hill as a pesticide policy expert and a keen student of all things political. We discuss what to expect in 2024 from the Hill and EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) when it comes to key chemical matters. We cover a lot of territory -- EPA staffing deficits, a deeply divided Congress, and the many challenging legal, scientific, and policy issues that this OCSPP is tasked with solving, or at least managing, in 2024 as it stares down national elections in about 10 months and all the uncertainty that fact invites.

This week, I welcomed back to the studio Karin F. Baron, Director of Hazard Communication and International Registration Strategy at B&C and our consulting affiliate, The Acta Group. Karin and I discuss an old but evolving concept in FDA circles called GRAS -- Generally Recognized as Safe. As listeners may know, “food additives” require pre-market approval by FDA. Substances “generally recognized” as safe under the conditions of a substance’s intended use are excluded from the definition of “food additive,” are not subject to mandatory pre-market review by FDA, and may be added to human and animal food. How companies make GRAS determinations, FDA’s role in the process, and whether the GRAS concept should be modernized are a few of the hot topics Karin and I explore.

This week, listeners are in for a real treat as I sit down with Dr. Meibao Zhuang, Senior Scientist/Regulatory Consultant with B&C and our consulting affiliate, The Acta Group, to discuss double-stranded ribonucleic acid interference, better known as ds RNAi. Ds RNAi is a technology that allows scientists to silence (or interfere with) a particular gene. In the agricultural sector, this genetic modification can be used to great advantage to control pests of all sorts with extreme precision. Meibao will discuss EPA’s proposed registration of the first sprayable RNAi biopesticide and the exciting implications of this technology.

This week, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting with Rachel James, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC). Rachel’s background and specialized training make her uniquely well suited to address some of the very interesting issues in which she engages at SELC on behalf of a diverse set of community groups. The Biden-Harris Administration has made environmental justice and accounting for susceptible subpopulations core components of its approach to environmental protection. My conversation with Rachel provides greater insights into how this is working in practice.
