Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC)

The annual Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC) reports provided information on U.S. production and sales of synthetic organic chemicals and the raw materials from which they are made. Chapter 1 of each report presents more information on the scope of the reports; the authority under which the data were collected; and the method used to collect the data.

The SOC was terminated per the request of the Committee on Ways and Means (Committee) of the U.S. House of Representatives in a letter dated October 17, 1995. The last annual SOC report was published in 1995; it contains 1994 data, as well as a copy of the Committee's letter.
