Government Activity

The Chlorine Institute is actively engaged in the regulatory process and representing members on issues that affect the chlor-alkali industry.  The Product Stewardship Issue Team primarily covers issues related to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act.  For other EPA issues, such as RMP and TSCA, and CI’s engagement with OSHA, DHS, and CSB visit the HESS Government Activity Page. CI is also active with transportation-related issues; visit the Transportation Government Activity Page for our latest activities.
