Achieving and maintaining compliance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) continues to pose day to day challenges for a wide range of government contractors, made all the more challenging by recent amendments to the TSCA regime.  By governing the import, manufacture, and processing of chemical substances—together with the subsequent export, distribution, use, and disposal of those chemicals—TSCA touches your business in ways few grasp, yet carries significant risk of costly business disruptions and enforcement actions.

Join our colleagues in Environment & Natural Resources for an intensive seminar designed for attorneys, regulatory, customs, purchasing, product safety, research and technical professionals engaged in TSCA compliance.  The seminar will cover a wide range of topics:

  • How the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act (LCSA) has changed TSCA
  • Complying with TSCA’s import and export requirements and its many reporting and recordkeeping requirements
  • Preparing premanufacture notices (PMNs) for new chemical substances not on the TSCA Inventory and using the many available PMN exemptions
  • Reporting to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by October 5, 2018 your company’s past processing of chemical substances during the “look-back period” from June 21, 2006, to June 21, 2016
  • Understanding EPA’s new TSCA mandate to prioritize and evaluate the risks of existing chemicals on the TSCA Inventory
  • Complying with new TSCA reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with importing, manufacturing or processing certain nanoscale substances in the USA
  • Managing TSCA compliance within your company

Warren Lehrenbaum represents individual companies and trade associations before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), where he advocates on behalf of individual products as well as broad policy issues.

Warren serves as a member on the firm’s Environment and Natural Resources Group Steering Committee. His practice focuses on chemical regulation and biotechnology issues arising under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), the Federal Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and related State and Federal laws. He assists large and small companies in the chemical and biotechnology fields obtain regulatory approvals for their products, and he helps clients address ongoing compliance and product stewardship issues. Warren’s counseling in these areas typically involves issues such as: assisting manufacturers of chemical or biotechnology products understand their registration, premarket notification, testing and reporting obligations, and assisting manufacturers of crop protection products in protecting their data compensation rights. He also assists companies in their day-to-day compliance with pollution control obligations under the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and other statutes.

A substantial portion of Warren’s practice is devoted to helping clients develop and implement corporate compliance programs, including environmental auditing programs and comprehensive environmental management systems. He also assists clients in identifying instances of potential non-compliance and defending against administrative investigations and enforcement actions. Warren has negotiated successful settlements in numerous enforcement cases, often involving complex supplemental enforcement projects (SEPs) and challenging economic benefit and BEN model issues.
