The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided to withdraw three proposed rules regarding the regulation of certain chemical substances: trichloroethylene (TCE), n-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and methylene chloride (MC). These rules originally aimed to address unreasonable risks associated with specific uses of these chemicals. The EPA concluded that it was more efficient to combine risk management actions following their final risk evaluations under the Toxic Substances Control Act, thus eliminating these previous proposals. The agency plans to develop new rulemaking efforts focusing on the identified risks to ensure comprehensive regulation in the future.

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which is part of the Department of Justice, is withdrawing two proposed rules regarding immigration proceedings. These rules focused on the procedures for reopening cases after someone has left the U.S. and on defining "good cause" for delaying immigration hearings. EOIR decided to withdraw these proposals as they are reassessing their priorities and believe that further comments and evaluations are needed. This decision maintains the current practices for handling these immigration matters while they consider future actions.
