The Importance of the TSCA Definition
The TSCA, enacted in 1976, is a federal law that regulates the production, importation, use, and disposal of chemicals in the United States. It serves as a vital framework for protecting public health and the environment. The definition of "Small Manufacturer" under TSCA plays a crucial role in determining various regulatory requirements and obligations for businesses operating within its scope.

In response to changing market conditions and to ensure the effectiveness of the TSCA regulations, the EPA has recently amended the definition of "Small Manufacturer." The new amendments aim to strike a balance between providing regulatory relief to small businesses while maintaining necessary health and environmental safeguards.
The key changes include:
- Adjustment of the annual sales threshold for small manufacturers.
- Consideration of affiliated entities when calculating eligibility.
