Summary:

Discusses proposed legislative changes to core provision of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) through two bills introduced in the 113th. Summarizes provisions of S. 696, the Safe Chemicals Act, to amend TSCA to require chemical manufacturers and processors to submit specified information about the toxicity and usage of chemicals in commerce to EPA; and S. 1009, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act, to authorize EPA to require manufacturers to develop new information if EPA can show need in the context of an evaluative framework for chemical risk assessment and management. Compares key provisions of S. 696 and S. 1009 with current law.
