SOCMA welcomes the @WhiteHouse's focus on supply-chain resilience and looks forward to continued engagement to ensure these efforts also strengthen the U.S. specialty chemical manufacturing base. https://t.co/YdvYR105Pd

With the federal government open, agencies can resume issuing permits, reviewing new chemicals, conducting safety inspections, and restarting programs that support U.S. manufacturing and R&D —functions that drive innovation, investment, and supply chain stability.

SOCMA supports congressional efforts to fix @EPA #TSCA New Chemicals Review Program. To keep America leading in innovation and technology, Congress must act to improve the PMN and LVE process.

Bringing new chemistries to market depends on a clear, predictable regulatory process.That’s why SOCMA strongly supports the nomination of Douglas Troutman as @EPA next OCSPP Assistant Administrator. Innovation + safety go hand-in-hand. 🔗 Read more:

SOCMA members met with @WhiteHouse to support publishing @EPA’s proposed rule on procedures for evaluating existing chemicals under TSCA. The rule should restore scientific integrity, regulatory consistency, and economic balance while providing a predictable review process.

SOCMA’s Robert Helminiak & Color Pigments Manufacturers Association's David Wawer met with @CommerceGov & @USTradeRep to discuss how to strengthen U.S. specialty chemical manufacturing and color pigment manufacturing —keeping the industry competitive, resilient & ready to lead.

SOCMA recently met with the @CommerceGov to discuss reshoring specialty chemical manufacturing and building a stronger, more resilient supply chain.

TSCA reform is top of mind. SOCMA's Chemical Regulations Committee recently met to tackle the growing challenges in chemical reviews and implementation.

SOCMA recently met with @HouseCommerce to highlight how regulatory hurdles are slowing the launch of new specialty chemicals.

SOCMA’s Robert Helminiak testified before @OSHA_DOL on its proposed Heat Injury and Illness Prevention rule for outdoor and indoor work settings, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and avoiding rigid, prescriptive standards in the rule. #OSHA #WorkplaceSafety

The @WhiteHouse new Executive Order on unmanned aircraft systems is a major step forward in strengthening site security, ensuring safe drone operations, and protecting American innovation. https://t.co/DYnBICEx4F

SOCMA, alongside @cpma_pigments, met with @EPA this week to address challenges within the Existing Chemicals Program and advocate for a predictable, science-based regulatory processes. #TSCA #ChemicalSafety #RegulatoryReform

In meetings with @HouseCommerce, SOCMA is advocating for a stronger, science-based EPA New Chemicals Review Program under TSCA—one that supports innovation and industry growth. #Chemicals #RegulatoryReform #TSCA

Joe Dettinger, VP/Manufacturing and Commercial Programs at @socma, joins us to discuss the impacts of trade tensions and uncertainty on #SpecialtyChemical producers  https://t.co/YLfJGS3wfP

Advocating for the policies that drive innovation in specialty chemistry is at the top of our agenda, which is why we strongly support the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—especially its critical expansion of the R&D tax credit.

In a meeting with @EPA, SOCMA calls for smart, science-based policy to boost U.S. innovation: - Streamline environmental reviews - Fix TSCA New Chemical Review Program - Apply 232 tariffs carefully—avoid disrupting pharma & semiconductor supply chains

Today @CommerceGov, SOCMA members advocate for reshoring efforts that restore U.S. chemical manufacturing leadership, reduce dependence on adversarial nations, and create high-quality domestic jobs. 

SOCMA members, including leaders from Cambrex and Ascent Chemicals, met with Sen. @ChuckGrassley to discuss top priorities for the industry: ✅ Reshoring U.S. chemical manufacturing ✅ Restoring full R&D tax deductibility ✅ Reforming TSCA’s New Chemicals Review program

Speaking with Chief Council for @LindseyGrahamSC, SOCMA members urged Congress to permanently restore the immediate deductibility of R&D expenses to keep specialty chemical innovation—and its associated jobs and investments—onshore.

Meeting today with @repgabeevans, SOCMA members sought help to help achieve @WhiteHouse and US goals of reshoring manufacturing. Discussed how permitting delays, including @EPA's TSCA New Chemicals Review Program, slow innovation and investment in domestic production.
