I. Background
The Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2609 section 10(g),
authorizes EPA and other Federal
agencies to establish and coordinate a
system for exchange among Federal,
state, and local authorities of research
and development results respecting
toxic chemical substances and mixtures,
including a system to facilitate and
promote the development of standard
data format and analysis and consistent
testing procedures. Through FOSTTA,
the CIMP focuses on EPA’s chemical
program and works to develop a more
coordinated effort involving Federal,
state, and tribal agencies. P2 promotes
the prevention ethic across society,
helping to integrate P2 into mainstream
environmental activities at the Federal
level and among the states and tribes.
TAP concentrates on chemical and
prevention issues that are most relevant
to the tribes, including lead control and
abatement, tribal traditional/subsistence
lifeways, and hazard communications
and outreach. FOSTTA’s vision is to
focus on major policy-level issues of
importance to states and tribes, recruit
more senior state and tribal leaders,
increase outreach to all 50 states and
some 560 Federally recognized tribes,
and vigorously seek ways to engage the
states and tribes in ongoing substantive
discussions on complex and often times
controversial environmental issues.
The Environmental Council of the
States (ECOS), in partnership with the
National Tribal Environmental Council
(NTEC) and EPA’s Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) are cosponsoring the meetings. As part of a
cooperative agreement, ECOS and NTEC
facilitate ongoing efforts of the state and
tribal leaders and OPPT to increase

understanding and improve
collaboration on toxic chemicals and
pollution prevention issues, and to
continue a dialogue on how federal
environmental programs can best be
implemented among the states, tribes,
and EPA.
III. How Can I Request to Participate in
this Meeting?

on the predetermined agenda. At the
