The American Chemistry Council’s 37th Annual Global Chemical Regulations Conference and Exhibition is set for March 25-27 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The 2024 agenda includes presentations and sessions with government and industry experts who will share their first-hand experiences. The first day of GlobalChem focuses on understanding the fundamentals of domestic chemical management regulations and the continued implementation of the 2016 amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This includes a workshop dedicated to the new chemical submission process and understanding chemical data reporting requirements, ACC said.
The March 26 panels include a focus on EPA’s current approach to the prioritization of chemicals for TSCA review, the risk evaluation process, and consideration for risk management under TSCA. And the March 27 sessions will take on international chemical management activities with a focus on activities in the European Union, India, and Latin American.
GlobalChem 2024 presenters include Sharon McGuinness, head of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA); Patricia Underwood, executive director for chemical risk management in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment; ACC President and CEO Chris Jahn; and Jennifer Abril, president and CEO of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates.
“With chemical management continuing to evolve here in the United States and EPA expected to issue several final rulemakings this year, it is imperative for downstream users and manufacturers to have a thorough understanding of TSCA implementation and the current regulatory landscape,” said Kimberly Wise White, ACC vice president for regulatory and scientific affairs, said in a news release.
“If you’re interested in meeting and connecting with government and industry experts, want to learn more about the chemicals in the queue for prioritization, or the existing chemicals under risk evaluation here in the U.S. or globally, then this conference was designed just for you.”
GlobalChem is designed for professionals who focus on regulatory and risk management compliance. GlobalChem explores the novel issues facing chemicals management and regulatory professionals in the United States and abroad, and provides attendees with the opportunity to meet and connect with officials from the EPA, ECHA, and stakeholders from across the industry.
