The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to regulate the chemical known as Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1) (PIP (3:1)). This rule prohibits the processing and distribution of PIP (3:1) and products containing it, with certain exceptions for specific industries like aviation and automotive, where no safer alternatives exist. The rule also bans the release of this chemical into water and mandates that commercial users follow best practices to prevent such releases. The regulation aims to reduce the manufacture, use, and disposal of PIP (3:1), thereby lowering the risk of exposure to humans and the environment.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is proposing new procedures to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including the addition of new categorical exclusions (CEs). These CEs are actions usually not expected to impact the environment significantly. NIST seeks public input on these draft procedures and the justification for the new CEs by January 10, 2025. The proposal is part of a larger effort to streamline and ensure consistency with environmental regulations.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposes new rules to enhance the accuracy and transparency of transmission line ratings to better reflect real-time conditions. The proposal includes requiring transmission providers to use ambient-adjusted ratings (AAR) that consider current air temperatures and dynamic line ratings (DLR) for more accurate transfer capabilities. It also suggests that Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) need systems to frequently update these ratings electronically. The goal is to ensure fairer and more efficient energy pricing while maintaining the safety and reliability of the electrical grid.
