ACC Supports Doug M. Troutman Nomination to Lead EPA’s Chemical Safety Office
WASHINGTON - (October 8, 2025) - The American Chemistry Council (ACC) today voiced strong support for the nomination of Doug M. Troutman to serve as Assistant Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP).
OCSPP is responsible for implementing the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the chemicals management law that guides EPA's oversight of chemicals in commerce and directly affects American innovation and manufacturing.
"Doug Troutman's deep knowledge of chemical safety policy, combined with his extensive leadership experience, will be an asset to EPA as it carries out its important responsibilities under TSCA," said Chris Jahn, ACC president & CEO. "Doug has demonstrated a consistent commitment to science-driven, risk-based regulations along with constructive stakeholder engagement that protects public health and the environment while enabling American innovation to thrive-all essential to delivering an effective and balanced implementation of TSCA."
Troutman previously served nearly two decades at the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), where he led ACI's government affairs and legal divisions. He worked extensively with policymakers and stakeholders on chemical safety regulations and demonstrated a collaborative leadership style that earned widespread respect across the industry and regulatory communities.
"OCSPP plays a central role in protecting human health and the environment, while supporting American innovation and manufacturing competitiveness," Jahn added. "Mr. Troutman is the right choice to provide steady leadership while furthering EPA's mission. We urge the U.S. Senate to confirm him without delay."
Additionally, a broad coalition of more than 50 national trade associations representing America's largest manufacturers and downstream industries sent a joint letter to the Senate expressing their strong support for Mr. Troutman's nomination. The coalition letter underscored the importance of experienced, science-based leadership within EPA's OCSPP to ensure effective implementation of TSCA and to the agency's decisions are effective and transparent.
