• TSCA is widely applicable, with significant requirements affecting any business that uses, processes, or makes chemcials.
  
  
• EPA can find TSCA violations by reviewing standard corporate records, thus making EPA inspections easier.
  
  
• Six figure penalties are the norm, and million dollar penalties are not unusual: AT&T agreed to pay a $1 million fine under TSCA. A manufacturer of paper products agreed to pay a $2.2 million fine and to implement a corporate-wide TSCA compliance program. A New Hampshire company agreed to a $2.3 million fine.
  
  
• Enforcement this year is covering recordkeeping requirements, reporting of information to EPA, PCBs, PMNs, import requirements, export regulations, labeling and MSDS requirements, employee protection requirements, manufacturing, chemical use restrictions, and other TSCA requirements.
  
  
• EPA sees TSCA settlements as having the greatest worker protection benefits, and thus is focusing its enforcement efforts on TSCA.
  
  
• TSCA inspections are done without regard to past OSHA compliance, and have involved EPA's Criminal Enforcement Division.
