EPA extends postponement of effectiveness for certain TSCA risk management provisions for trichloroethylene (TCE) until May 18, 2026

EPA published a final action extending the postponement of effectiveness for certain provisions of the TSCA risk management rule for trichloroethylene (TCE), specifically affecting conditions tied to TSCA section 6(g) exemptions, until May 18, 2026. This changes the timeline for when affected requirements become effective for entities relying on (or managing) exempted uses under the TCE rule. Compliance teams should reassess implementation schedules, contractual obligations, and operational controls tied to the postponed provisions.
