    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced an extension of 30 days for the public to comment on proposed updates to a rule about fees under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Originally, the comment period was set to end on February 25, 2021, but it will now close on March 27, 2021. This extension was granted to give stakeholders more time to understand how the fee changes could affect them in the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. Those interested are encouraged to submit their comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
