SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Toxic Chemicals Safety Act of 
2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS, POLICY, AND GOAL.

    (a) Findings, Policy, and Goal.--Section 2 of the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``intent'' in the section heading and 
        inserting ``goal''; and
            (2) by striking subsections (a) through (c) and inserting 
        the following:
    ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            ``(1) the chemical industry is an important part of the 
        United States economy and provides valuable products that are 
        used in diverse manufacturing industries and other commercial, 
        institutional, and consumer applications;
            ``(2) more than 3 decades after the enactment of the Toxic 
        Substances Control Act, the public and the environment in the 
        United States are still exposed to thousands of chemicals whose 
        safety has not been adequately reviewed;
            ``(3) biomonitoring reveals that people in the United 
        States have many hazardous chemicals in their bodies;
            ``(4) the potential for adverse effects from chemical 
        exposures is modulated by developmental changes in metabolism, 
        physiology, and pathways of exposure, with increased potential 
        for adverse effects from exposures that occur in utero, during 
        infancy, and during other critical periods of development;
            ``(5) there is significant global trade in the chemical 
        sector and many of the companies that conduct business in the 
        United States must also comply with chemical safety regulatory 
        programs in other countries, and the data that are generated to 
        comply with these other regulatory programs may be useful in 
        understanding the hazards of and exposures to chemicals in the 
        United States; and
            ``(6) a revised policy on the safety of chemicals will 
        assist in renewing the manufacturing sector of the United 
        States, create new and safer jobs, spur innovations in green 
        chemistry, restore confidence domestically and internationally 
        in the safety of products of the United States, and ensure that 
        products of the United States remain competitive in the global 
        market.
    ``(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            ``(1) to protect the health of children, workers, 
        consumers, and the public, and to protect the environment from 
        adverse effects of exposures to chemicals;
            ``(2) to promote the use of safer alternatives and other 
        actions that reduce use of and exposure to hazardous chemicals 
        and reward innovation in developing safer chemicals, processes, 
        and products;
            ``(3) to require that all chemicals in commerce meet a 
        risk-based safety standard that protects disproportionately 
        vulnerable and affected populations and the environment;
            ``(4) to require manufacturers and processors to provide 
        sufficient health and environmental information for the 
        chemicals which they manufacture or process as a condition of 
        allowing distribution of such chemicals in commerce;
            ``(5) to improve the quality of information on chemical 
        safety and use;
            ``(6) to guarantee the right of the public and workers to 
        know about the risks associated with chemicals that they may be 
        exposed to by maximizing public access to information on such 
        chemicals;
            ``(7) to strengthen cooperation between and among the 
        Federal Government and State, municipal, tribal, and foreign 
        governments;
            ``(8) to ensure the Administrator has the authority to 
        develop sufficient information to assess chemical safety, and 
        to act effectively when the Administrator obtains information 
        that indicates there are risks of harmful chemical exposure; 
        and
            ``(9) to replace, reduce, and refine testing on animals by 
        promoting and funding the development of more efficient test 
        methods and strategies.
    ``(c) Goal.--It is the goal of the United States to protect health 
and the environment by addressing exposure to harmful chemicals 
distributed in commerce, including exposure of vulnerable or 
disproportionately affected populations, by--
            ``(1) determining whether all chemicals in commerce meet 
        the safety standard under this title;
            ``(2) restricting the manufacture, processing, use, 
        distribution in commerce, or disposal of a chemical, where 
        warranted; and
            ``(3) encouraging the replacement of harmful chemicals and 
        processes with safer alternatives.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--The table of contents for the Toxic 
Substances Control Act is amended by amending the item relating to 
section 2 to read as follows:

``Sec. 2. Findings, policy, and goal.''.

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS AND DETERMINATIONS.

        violation or the complainant may file objections to the 
        findings or preliminary order, or both, and request a hearing 
        on the record. The filing of such objections shall not operate 
        to stay any reinstatement remedy contained in the preliminary 
        order. Any such hearing shall be conducted expeditiously. If a 
        hearing is not requested in such 30-day period, the preliminary 
        order shall be deemed a final order that is not subject to 
        judicial review.

                any behavior described in paragraphs (1) through (5) of 
                subsection (a) was a contributing factor in the 
                unfavorable personnel action alleged in the complaint.

                required under subparagraph (A) shall be conducted if 
                the employer demonstrates, by clear and convincing

                paragraphs (1) through (5) of subsection (a) was a

        conclusion of any hearing under paragraph (2), the Secretary 
        shall issue a final order providing the relief prescribed by 
        this paragraph or denying the complaint. At any time before 
        issuance of a final order, a proceeding under this subsection 
        may be terminated on the basis of a settlement agreement 
        entered into by the Secretary, the complainant, and the person 
        alleged to have committed the violation.

        the complainant, shall assess against the person against whom 
        the order is issued a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all 
        costs and expenses (including attorney's and expert witness 
        fees) reasonably incurred, as determined by the Secretary, by 
        the complainant for, or in connection with, the bringing of the 
        complaint upon which the order was issued.
            ``(C) If the Secretary finds that a complaint under 
        paragraph (1) is frivolous or has been brought in bad faith,

        issuance of the final order of the Secretary. Such review shall 
        conform to chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code. The 
        commencement of proceedings under this subparagraph shall not, 
        unless ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the order.

        the citizenship of the parties, to enforce such order.

        pain or distress as a consequence of the substance 
        characteristics, such as potential to cause severe corrosion or 
        severe irritation to tissues.

updating the list under subsection (c), the Administrator shall 
coordinate with State, local, and tribal governments and members of the 
public to develop, for each locality identified on the list, an action 
plan to reduce disproportionate exposure within such locality. Each 
such action plan shall include--
            ``(1) identification of the chemical substances and 
        mixtures that contribute to the disproportionate exposure 
        (including exposure levels, sources, and pathways);
            ``(2) a description of actions to be undertaken by the 
        Administrator or State, local, or tribal governments, to reduce 
        disproportionate exposure within the locality;
            ``(3) a percentage exposure reduction goal for each 
        chemical substance and mixture identified under paragraph (1); 
        and
            ``(4) a timeline to achieve the percentage exposure 
        reduction goal under paragraph (3).
    ``(e) Report to Congress.--Beginning on the date that is one year 
after the development of the first action plan under subsection (d), 
and annually thereafter, the Administrator shall--
            ``(1) prepare and submit to Congress an annual report 
        identifying--
                    ``(A) each locality added to the list in the prior 
                year under subsection (c);
                    ``(B) each action plan developed in the prior year 
                under subsection (d);
                    ``(C) the progress on each action plan to date; and
                    ``(D) the reasons why any timelines for percentage 
                exposure reductions were not met and the revised 
                timeline for meeting those reductions; and
            ``(2) make the report available to the public in the public 
        database established under section 8(d).
    ``(f) Locality.--In this section, the term `locality' means any 
geographical area in which the Administrator identifies 
disproportionate exposure and may include a county, city, town, 
neighborhood, census tract, zip code, or other commonly understood 
political or geographical subdivision.

``SEC. 39. EXEMPTION FOR CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES OR MIXTURES BASED ON 
              INTRINSIC PROPERTIES.

    ``(a) Authority to Exempt Certain Chemical Substances and Mixtures 
Based on Intrinsic Properties.--If the Administrator determines that 
scientific consensus exists that the intrinsic properties of a chemical 
substance or mixture are such that it does not and would not pose any 
risk of injury to health or the environment under any current, 
proposed, or anticipated levels of production, patterns of use, or 
exposures arising at any stage across the lifecycle of the substance or 
mixture, the Administrator may, by order, exempt the substance or 
mixture, or particular uses of the substance or mixture, from one or 
more of the requirements of sections 4, 5, 6 and 8 of this Act. A 
determination under this section shall be based on consideration of the 
intrinsic properties of the substance or mixture, and shall not be 
based on findings or assumptions of low human or environmental exposure 
to the substance or mixture.
    ``(b) Notice of Determination and Exemption.--Within 30 days of 
determining and exempting, pursuant to subsection (a), a chemical 
substance or mixture, or a particular use of a chemical substance or 
mixture, the Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register, and 
shall add to the public database established pursuant to section 8(d), 
a notice that provides the specific identity of the chemical substance 
or mixture, and, for a particular use determined and exempted under 
subsection (a), the particular use of the substance or mixture, that 
the Administrator has determined and exempted under subsection (a) and 
that explains and documents the basis for the Administrator's 
determination and exemption.
    ``(c) Reconsideration of Determination and Exemption.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Administrator may reconsider and 
        revoke or modify any determination or exemption under 
        subsection (a) at any time if the Administrator determines that 
        the conditions of subsection (a) are no longer met, or that 
        such action is necessary to protect human health or the 
        environment or is otherwise in the public interest. In the 
        event of such revocation or modification, the Administrator 
        shall provide public notice of the grounds for that 
        determination and publish such notice on the public database 
        established pursuant to section 8(d).
            ``(2) Effective date.--Any revocation or modification 
        undertaken pursuant to this subsection shall not take effect 
        prior to the date that is one year after public notice of the 
        determination, unless an earlier effective date is necessary to 
        protect human health or the environment.
    ``(d) Prior Regulatory Exemptions.--Not later than one year after 
the date of enactment of the Toxic Chemicals Safety Act of 2010, 
exemptions granted by the Administrator pursuant to section 5(h)(4) of 
this Act prior to the date of enactment of the Toxic Chemicals Safety 
Act of 2010, as such section was in effect before such date of 
enactment, shall be reviewed by the Administrator and continued in 
effect under the authority granted by this section, as appropriate. 
Such an exemption shall continue to be in effect until such date as the 
Administrator determines, by order, that--
            ``(1) the exemption is not authorized or not appropriate 
        under this section, at which time the exemption shall cease to 
        be in effect; or
            ``(2) the exemption is authorized and appropriate under 
        this section, at which time the Administrator may issue an 
        order to modify or continue in effect the exemption pursuant to 
        subsection (a).
    ``(e) No Limitation on Authority.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit or otherwise affect the Administrator's authority 
under any other provision of this Act.

``SEC. 40. APPLICATION OF THIS ACT TO FEDERAL AGENCIES.
