EPA Announces Major Actions On PFAS And The TSCA New Chemical Program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a much anticipated roadmap for how Administrator Lee Zeldin plans to address per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) in the coming months. The announcement signals important changes ahead. EPA also issued critical guidance to help companies understand how to provide new information required for premanufacture notifications (PMNs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) until the agency is able to update the Central Data Exchange (CDX) reporting platform. In addition, the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), which administers TSCA and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), is poised to gain more resources as part of the Administrator's plan for reorganizing EPA.
