Authors: Linda-Jo Schierow, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: The focus of this report is on proposed amendments to TSCA. This report does not constitute a legal analysis of the bills or of existing law. Instead, it begins by describing the three international agreements and relevant provisions of TSCA. The report then summarizes selected provisions of H.R. 4591, as ordered to be reported, and H.R. 4800, as introduced, and compares them in a brief narrative and more detailed table.
