  • Advocacy on behalf of USWAG members on proposed rulemakings involving the PCB use and/or disposal regulations, and engagement with EPA on related guidance and policy issues.
  • Member training and counseling on compliance obligations related to Chemical Data Reporting (CDR), significant new use rules (SNURs), and other TSCA provisions.
  • Tracking of and engagement with EPA risk evaluation and risk management activities involving other chemicals of significance to utility operations.
  • In-person and virtual meetings and workshops providing a forum for members to discuss compliance challenges and operational strategies associated with TSCA chemical management requirements for PCBs and other chemicals.
