Excerpt from Reauthorization of the Toxic Substances Control Act: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Toxic Substances, Research and Development of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, May 17 and July 13, 1994
You know, I've held five oversight hearings on this very subject, and we've had numerous gao reports, and, obviously, we'll want to make those and other information that we've gathered available to you as you consider this. But you said it best - tsca has failed to live up to its mission. In fact, it's probably epa's biggest under achiever. As you said, in many ways, tsca was the epa's most modern statute. It was pollution prevention, a very advanced idea in 1976.
The real question, I think, is: why such a disappointing response by tsca?
Well, first of all, the epa has issued only 30 test rules in 18 years for existing chemicals and almost none since 1989, and there's no guarantee as we look at it today the epa will ever be more timely.

The author argues that contemporary environmental protection can learn from the statute's innovative history. While acknowledging its shortcomings, the book highlights the actâs emphasis on preventive approaches that promote innovation through pollution reduction strategies. The author encourages readers to engage with the act's reauthorization, using lessons of the past to shape effective future policy.
