I don't know how many people get the OPPT Newsbreak each day, but here is today's. It has an interesting article (which I clipped out an attached below) about Maryland deciding to join Massachusetts and New Jersey in requiring companies to file chemical use data. I haven't seen the original article. If someone does get a copy, I would be interested in reading it. I will reiterate what I said at the IPC EXPO, that I do think that this will become a requirement.
