	News - NRDC Comments on EPA’s Lindane Reregistration Eligibility Decision
		NRDC reminds the Agency that the persistent failure to include all uses of this chemical in the aggregate risk determination is illegal.
		NRDC is alarmed by the MOE analysis of lindane use for scabies.
		NRDC is incorporates by reference our comments on the Lindane Draft Risk Assessment dated October 29, 2001, and on the Lindane Revised Risk Assessment dated April 1, 2002, as we believe that EP A has failed to adequately address our concerns in the RED.

	NRDC Wrong About Bottled Water. Drinking Water Research Foundation
		The NRDC Report does recognize that on December 16, 1998, EPA reduced the tap water MCL for TTHMs to 80 ppb from 100 ppb; however, this standard is not effective until December 16, 2001 at the earliest, and for small systems not until December 16, 2003 (Fed. Reg.
		NRDC asserts that chemical-contaminant-testing requirements for bottled water are weaker than EPA standards for tap water because municipal water, but not bottled water, must be tested for sixteen unregulated contaminants.
		Therefore, while the NRDC insists on reporting that two of the 103 brands of bottled water tested positive for coliform bacteria, this was true only of the first preliminary screening, and was not supported by at least three rounds of tests that followed, all conducted by state-certified, independent commercial labs.

		NRDC praises global warming agreement; calls on Bush to reconsider July 23, 2001: The agreement reached today by more than 170 countries in Bonn, Germany, signals that Europe, Japan and the rest of the world will move forward to ratify and implement the Kyoto Treaty, rejecting the Bush administration's efforts to kill it.
		NRDC has issued an extensive critique of the plan that reflects the principles laid out in our February report entitled "A Responsible Energy Policy for the 21st Century," which shows that the United States can meet its energy needs without undermining environmental safeguards or ruining the last remaining pristine wilderness areas in the country.
		NRDC Calls on Bush Administration to Abolish Current U.S. Nuclear War Plan June 18, 2001: NRDC has released a major report, "The U.S. Nuclear War Plan: A Time for Change," which calls on the Bush administration to abolish the U.S. nuclear war plan because it is an impediment to reducing nuclear stockpiles.

		The NRDC was also one of the main proponents of a 1996 law that required the EPA to “develop a screening program, using appropriate validated test systems...
		A recurring theme in the NRDC’s comments is the “NTP rodent bioassay"—a $2 million study in which groups of at least 400 rats and 400 mice are dosed with a test chemical for their entire lifespan (2 years on average) to see if they develop cancer.
		The NRDC goes on to criticize evidence from human population studies, while explicitly calling for more chemicals to be tested on animals in the NTP bioassay (e.g., “We encourage the NTP to expand this trusted methodology, to handle an increased number of chemicals annually.”).

		One of the year's biggest environmental stories was one NRDC generated, and it exemplifies our remarkable accomplishments: as we defended our nation's environmental laws against an administration intent on dismantling them, we also went on the offensive, pursuing long-term strategies to protect the wilderness and wildlife we cherish and the environment our children will inherit.
		NRDC lawyers filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to learn how the task force conducted business, but the administration refused to comply.
		NRDC broke the logjam first: we took our case to court and compelled the government to turn over its records, revealing that industry lobbyists wrote much of the nation's energy plan.

		NRDC is probably best remembered for the Alar hysteria it engineered in 1989.

		The campaign declared that America's taste for swordfish "threaten[ed] the livelihood of the species." But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service condemned the NRDC campaign as "flawed to the core," while the National Marine Fisheries Institute declared that swordfish were never in any danger of extinction.

		Excluded from consideration at the hearings, over NRDC's objection, was the issue of the environmental effects of operations to reprocess fuel or dispose of wastes resulting from the reprocessing operations.
		Respondent NRDC also argues that the fact that the Commission's inquiry was undertaken in the context of NEPA somehow permits a court to require procedures beyond those specified in 4 of the APA when investigating factual issues through rulemaking.
		NRDC likewise challenged the interim fuel cycle rule and suggested to the Court of Appeals that it hold the case pending our decision in this case because the interim rules were "defective due to the inadequacy of the procedures used in developing the rule.

		NRDC is deeply concerned that workers (including pregnant and lactating women) may be exposed to dangerous levels of this chemical.
		NRDC is incorporates by reference all our prior comments on the Lindane Draft Risk Assessment dated October 29, 2001, as we believe that EPA has failed to address any of our concerns in the revised risk assessment.
		Failure to include the major exposure pathways to lindane is an affront to the scientific database on this chemical and is in contravention of the plain language of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.
