ACC represents the U.S. chemical and plastics manufacturing industry, advancing U.S. competitiveness through science-based policy and Responsible Care.
ACC joined major shipper groups to call on the STB to deny the proposed UP-NS merger. The application failed to clear the first hurdle. The railroads did not show that this merger would enhance competition, benefit customers, or serve the public interest. https://t.co/jxqvKB18Ab
Unauthorized drone activity around chemical facilities isn't theoretical.
✅ 75%+ have seen incursions
✅ 80%+ view drones as a security threat
✅ 90%+ say the risk is growing
ACC supports the FAA's proposed rule to help protect critical infrastructure. https://t.co/ODxsuO8dLq
We are proud to join 75 organizations and 168 Members of Congress in supporting a strong, outcomes-focused USMCA review. Thank you, @RepRudyYakym, for your leadership on this issue.

ACC has launched a new ad highlighting Sen. Dan Sullivan’s work to strengthen Alaska’s economy, support job creation, and deliver tax relief for working families. https://t.co/wVMYitmzxz
June’s Global CPRI data shows chemical production moving in different directions across key markets. U.S. & global output declined, while Europe edged higher and gains in specialty chemicals helped offset weakness in other U.S. segments. Explore the data: https://t.co/tinhkAZfAF
Another filing. UP/NS keep filing more paperwork because regulators keep finding the same problem: this merger doesn't deliver more competitive rail options or serve the public interest. No amount of paperwork can hide this is a bad deal for America.

What gives America a competitive edge—and where is it falling behind?
Host @Andrew_Langer sits down with @JahnChris, CEO of the @AmChemistry
Council, to discuss America's strengths and challenges in manufacturing, energy, and the chemical industry, and what it will take to remain competitive in the global economy.
The @STB_Newsroom ordered @UnionPacific and @nscorp to make public employee data they'd tried to hide from the public. @axios now reports the railroads project 1,138 job cuts and 546 transfers from their proposed merger — with nearly 700 eliminations in year one alone. UP-NS continue to try to hide the truth that their merger is bad for workers, consumers, and the American public. They can't be trusted. https://t.co/UWbmrwoGdC
More voices are sounding the alarm and calling for a thorough review of the UP-NS merger. It's a bad deal for America.
Thank you @MTAGKnudsen for pointing out the long-term consequences and calling on the STB to give the merger a full review.
From semiconductors to advanced manufacturing, chemistry powers the technologies behind AI and America’s competitiveness. In @WashTimes, @JahnChris explains why AI’s future will be written in code but built with chemistry. Read his op-ed: https://t.co/wYB3ossgIj #ChemistryCreates
EPA's updated draft TSCA risk evaluation for formaldehyde reflects scientific progress. Experts across disciplines support its use of peer-reviewed science, human exposure data and the best available evidence. Read more: https://t.co/2qKntX0tGX #Formaldehyde#TSCA
Thank you to everyone who helped make ACC's #ResponsibleCare Fly-In a success. Our member company representatives shared real-world expertise with congressional offices and federal representatives, reinforcing the value of continued dialogue between industry and policymakers.
America doesn't stay competitive by standing still.
#ResponsibleCare leaders are on Capitol Hill sharing what nearly 40 years have delivered:
• Proven model for responsible growth & innovation
• 3rd consecutive year of record-low employee safety performance
American Chemistry Council CEO Chris Jahn said outdated regulations are slowing new manufacturing projects and weakening efforts to strengthen U.S. supply chains and compete with China.

The race for US manufacturing leadership starts with chemistry. @USChamber Chemistry Solutions Forum, I discussed why modernizing TSCA, permitting reform, and science-based regulation are essential to keeping investment, innovation, and jobs here at home. https://t.co/Xu34h14Xjn
Policy that supports safer chemistries and innovation strengthens the U.S. economy and supply chains. Let’s build a smarter system. https://t.co/vz5VXbAiqz
How can smart regulatory reform strengthen American manufacturing? At ACC’s Chemistry & Competitiveness Summit, key admin officials & ACC’s @JahnChris discussed reducing regulatory burdens & advancing science-based policies. Read more 👇 https://t.co/gvVLO8ulHN. #ChemistryCreates
Tomorrow, the people behind #ResponsibleCare head to Capitol Hill. Representatives from ACC member & partner companies will bring the perspectives of the professionals who put policy into practice every day to the policymakers. Follow along as we share highlights from the fly-In.
