– PIP (3:1) automotive exemption

– New Administration revisiting completed assessments

• EU Circular Economy

Get Involved!• The OHCL is only as good as it’s volunteers

• The subgroups will only accomplish their goals if we have interaction at multiple tier levels

• Your company should be active in:– Chemical Management and Reporting Work Group (OHCL) committee

– OHCL subgroups: SUAL, Rec & Doc for IMDS rules/guidance, or GHS for REACH insights and input to the REACH TF

– Travel not required for OHCL or subgroup meetings

• Contact L. Welch at cr@aiag.org to be added to the group, thanks for your willingness to step up!
