Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.’s (B&C®) webinar “TSCA CBI Re-substantiation: When, Why, and How to Prepare,” presented April 9, 2026, is now available on-demand on YouTube, Vimeo, and the B&C website. In the webinar, Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., Director of Chemistry, B&C; Ryan N. Schmit, Of Counsel, B&C; and Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing Partner, B&C, cover:
- Background on Confidential Business Information (CBI) Expiration Provisions in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA);
- Process and Criteria for Requesting and Substantiating an Extension;
- Practical Tips for Companies to Prepare Now; and
- Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A).
The 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act amendments included a ten-year cap on many CBI claims, absent a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved extension request. As a result, these CBI claims will begin to expire on a rolling basis in June 2026 unless further reasserted and re-substantiated.
B&C has been tracking this important provision closely, including how EPA intends to provide the statutorily required notices of expiring CBI claims; the systems, processes, and criteria to request and substantiate an extension; and the practical steps companies should be taking now to prepare.
