"Dear. Ms. Summers:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s or Agency’s) proposed rule on “Perchloroethylene (PCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).”
The Chamber’s members include companies across all sectors that are impacted by TSCA— chemicals, coatings, refining, petrochemicals, petroleum, forestry, wood products, batteries, electronics, energy, and electricity, among many others. These companies, which manufacture and use chemicals subject to regulation under TSCA, deliver products and innovation that are integral not only to the health and well-being of the American people, but also to the domestic economy and supply chain. Chemical technologies improve our quality of life in numerous ways by providing new solutions to problems in health, materials, transportation, agriculture, and energy usage. Protecting the health of workers and surrounding communities is a priority for our members."
