NSF International appoints new legislative affairs director

NSF International has appointed Harold Chase, former legislative assistant for U.S. Senator Carl Levin, to lead its Legislative Affairs office.

NSF's Legislative office focuses on on providing nonpartisan expertise to legislators on important public health and safety issues related to food safety, water quality, over-the-counter and pharmaceutical drugs quality, dietary supplement safety, sustainability and environmental health.

Chase will provide legislators with education and technical subject matter expertise from NSF International on a wide range of public and environmental health issues. His primary focuses will be on legislation related to the Farm Bill, the Food Safety Modernization Act, requirements for ballast water treatment systems that reduce invasive species in the nation’s waterways, national standards for sustainable products and services, water reuse, treating drinking water for emerging contaminants, dietary supplement safety and use  and the Toxic Substances Control Act, among others.

Prior to joining NSF International, Chase served as a regional representative and then legislative assistant to U.S. Senator Carl Levin. Chase advised Michigan’s Senior Senator on a wide range of issues such as the passage of both the Farm Bill and the Food Safety Modernization Act.
