Podcast appearances and mentions of rich engler

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, Dr. Richard E. Engler, Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group, our consulting affiliate, returned to the studio to discuss the stubbornly vexatious problem of TSCA's regulation of articles, a fancy name for products or finished goods. Most listeners to the podcast appreciate that this U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administration has specifically applied TSCA regulations to articles far more than in decades past. This policy pivot has caused a significant amount of commercial disruption and business uncertainty. This will not abate in the years ahead. Rich Engler explains why this is the case and suggests some steps regulated entities may wish to consider to comply with current regulations and prepare for the future.

This week I sat down with Dr. Richard E. Engler, B&C's and The Acta Group's (our consulting affiliate) Director of Chemistry, to discuss the new chemical bias. Our listeners know that Rich Engler has worked for decades reviewing Premanufacture Notifications submitted under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). PMNs are applications to manufacture or import chemical substances that are not listed on the TSCA Inventory and thus are considered “new.” Much has changed in terms of the new chemical review process since Congress revised TSCA six years ago. As we discuss in our podcast, however, one thing has not changed: the new chemical bias is as potent today as it was before Lautenberg was enacted in 2016. Rich and I discuss the new chemical bias, explain why it continues to confound chemical innovators, and what is being done to eliminate the bias and level the playing field.

This week I was thrilled to sit down with James V. Aidala, B&C's Senior Government Affairs Consultant, and Dr. Richard E. Engler, B&C's and The Acta Group's (our consulting affiliate) Director of Chemistry, to discuss what to expect in 2022 with regard to industrial and agricultural chemical regulation. As our listeners know, each year we publish a Forecast, a written summary of our best professional judgment as to the trends and key developments we expect in the New Year. Our 2022 Forecast is a monster -- 103 pages of well written, expert analysis on global chemical developments. My conversation, spirited and candid, with Jim Aidala and Rich Engler, focuses on domestic industrial and pesticide policy, trends, and regulatory developments.

This week I sat down with Dr. Richard E. Engler, B&C's and The Acta Group's (our consulting affiliate) Director of Chemistry, to discuss a very new component on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) PFAS Action Plan. The plan represents EPA's “all of agency” approach to address the risks posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can accumulate in humans and remain in the body for long periods. PFAS have been widely used in many consumer articles for years, and the action plan represents the totality of EPA's actions to identify areas of risk and steps to address risks to human health and the environment. EPA recently proposed a PFAS reporting rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that would compel the submission of certain information on some 1,000 listed PFAS chemicals. The proposal is controversial because of how it defines this class of chemicals, the standard of knowledge that triggers reporting, and the types of entities subject to the reporting requirements. Rich Engler helps us understand what these issues are and why you should care. ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PODCAST ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

This week, I moderated a spirited discussion with two members of the B&C team:  Sheryl Dolan, a senior regulatory consultant who specializes in agricultural and biocidal chemical product registration and defense, and Dr. Richard Engler, our Director of Chemistry and a 17-year-veteran of EPA.  Both Sheryl and Rich are expert in marshaling new product chemical technologies through the gauntlet of federal, state, and international chemical product approval. Throughout our discussion, Sheryl and Rich walk us through what it takes to bring a new technology to EPA (or any other regulatory authority) and to help the regulators understand the benefits and safety of the new technology, especially when dealing with older regulatory frameworks that are sometimes ill-suited to anticipate the challenges posed by cutting edge technologies.  We talk about the regulatory challenges that the developer of a new product is likely to face, and how our team recommends preparing for these often make or break challenges.  We also get into a bit of the history of TSCA and FIFRA, the impact that public opinion and transparency can have on the regulation process, and how regulatory systems are informed of and respond to technological change. There is a lot to unpack in this discussion for anyone with an interest in the regulatory process, whether you are planning on bringing an innovative product to market or enhancing a new aspect of an existing product.  It was great having Sheryl and Rich in the studio to walk me through some of this, and I am excited to share it with you.  So, here is my discussion with Sheryl Dolan and Dr. Rich Engler about new technologies and their regulatory processes… ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PODCAST ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL  AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

This week, I took part in a roundtable discussion about biobased products with my colleagues Kathleen Roberts and Dr. Rich Engler. Over the last several years, there has been a significant trend towards the use of renewable, biobased chemicals. Although these chemicals often have similar, if not identical, functionalities as the non-renewable, fossil-based chemical that they are intended to replace, there are a number of regulatory challenges in bringing these to market. In this conversation, we discuss what these commercial challenges are, why the EPA has, in most cases, “pre market approval authority” over the commercialization of these chemicals, and get down into the science of what exactly constitutes a “biobased” chemical anyway. I am excited to have Rich and Kathleen on this episode. Rich managed EPA’s Green Chemistry program when he was at EPA and has considerable experience with EPA’s review of biobased chemical substances from a TSCA perspective. Kathleen is Vice President of B&C Consortia Management and manages the Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group (BRAG), which has as one of its primary goals aligning regulatory frameworks for biobased and more traditional fossil-based chemical substances.

Recently, we published a 3 part article with Bloomberg News entitled: New Chemicals Under New TSCA—Stalled Commercialization. This week, I sat down with Charles Auer, a Senior Regulatory and Policy advisor here at the firm, and Dr. Richard Engler, our Director of Chemistry, two of my co-authors on this article to talk about it. Our thesis is simple: EPA’s interpretation of our brand new industrial chemical law, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, signed into law in June 2016, needs to change. We believe that Congress never intended fundamentally to overhaul the new chemical review process and to require that EPA regulate north of 80% of all new chemicals. Ironically, that is exactly what the new law is being interpreted to do, in contrast to old law that regulated, appropriately, about 10-15% of new chemicals. Our article explains the new law, contrasts it with the old law, and critically reviews the numbers—the new chemical statistics from EPA’s database, to prove our point. We then offer some suggestions to fix the problem. Charlie Auer and Rich Engler are the perfect guests. Charlie ran the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics for years before he joined our staff and knows more about EPA’s workings in this area than anyone. Rich review about 10,000 new chemical notifications during his 17 years at EPA before joining our staff and has been working closely with clients and EPA to address these issues.

  This week, I got to have a roundtable discussion with several of my colleagues about a Strategic Research Plan released by the EPA earlier this summer, outlining their approach to reduce and replace “vertebrate” testing. What we’re really talking about, of course, is animal testing. In keeping with the commitment outlined in 2016’s Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the EPA proposes several so-called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs, which they hope will be able to replace and reduce animal testing. Weighing in on this hot topic are several of my colleagues: Dr. Rich Engler, our director of Chemistry, Dr. Jane Vergnes, our senior Toxicologist, and Dr. Oscar Hernandez, our senior regulator chemist.
