  • 2025-01866 — Delay of Effective Date for 4 Final Regulations Published by the Environmental Protection Agency Between November 29, 2024, and December 31, 2024
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8254
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is delaying the start date of four regulations that were published between November 29, 2024, and December 31, 2024, until March 21, 2025. This decision aligns with a memorandum from President Donald J. Trump issued on January 20, 2025, instructing federal agencies to temporarily postpone new rules so they can be reviewed. The delay is intended to give officials more time to assess these regulations and was enacted immediately without public input, based on legal exceptions that allow such an action. The EPA may consider further extensions of these regulations' effective dates in the future.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is waiting a little longer to start some new rules, so they can make sure everything is okay with them. This is because the president asked them to pause and review these rules first.

  • 2024-31406 — Toxics Release Inventory (TRI); Clarification of Toxic Chemicals Due to Automatic Additions of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Under the National Defense Authorization Act
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5795
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed changes to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) regulations to explicitly include certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the list of "toxic chemicals," as those are automatically added under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) starting January 1, following specific criteria. This clarification ensures that suppliers must notify their customers about products containing these PFAS at the beginning of each year. The action aims to align regulations with existing NDAA provisions without adding new requirements, merely clarifying when notifications must occur. Comments on this proposal are open until February 18, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to make sure a special list of chemicals called PFAS is clearly marked as "bad" so companies have to tell their customers if their products contain them. They are doing this because of a law that tells them to, but they're not adding new rules, just helping everyone understand when they need to let people know.

The public has until February 22, 2021, to submit comments on this action, which should be done preferably via the EPA's website, email, or other specified methods.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to let some helpers, called contractors, look at secret plans about gas and fuel to make sure everything is safe and clean. People can tell the EPA what they think about this by sending messages before February 22, 2021.
