NAVIGATING EMERGING CHEMICALS REGULATIONS

Our Services

Expertise in Navigating TSCA Section 6 Regulations for the Department of Defense

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 6 introduces complex requirements for managing hazardous chemicals that can significantly impact the Department of Defense's (DoD) operations and supply chains. At Henderson Solutions, we provide specialized support to help the DoD navigate these regulatory challenges, ensuring compliance while maintaining operational readiness.

Why TSCA

Section 6 Matters to the DoD

The EPA’s authority under TSCA Section 6 to evaluate and regulate chemicals that pose an unreasonable risk directly affects the Defense Industrial Base. Restrictions on manufacturing, use, and disposal of high-priority substances can disrupt procurement, supply chain logistics, and mission-critical operations if not proactively managed.

The DoD requires a tailored approach to understand and mitigate these risks while maintaining operational efficiency.

Our Role in the Chemical Information Program

  • We assist in obtaining and processing digital data of full formulations for products purchased by the DoD, including chemicals, articles, and weapons. This comprehensive data collection is essential for compliance with regulations such as the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, OSHA, EPCRA, and TSCA.

  • Our team supports the integration of this critical chemical information into centralized databases, enhancing visibility and accessibility across the DoD. This integration aids in reducing supply chain vulnerabilities and improving environmental management efforts.

  • We provide expertise in navigating evolving chemical regulations, ensuring that the DoD maintains compliance while safeguarding mission-critical operations. Our support includes updating Federal Standard 313 to require digital submission of full formulation and disclosure of safety data for chemicals and articles.
