EPA extends postponement of effectiveness for certain provisions of the TSCA trichloroethylene (TCE) risk management rule

EPA issued a final action extending the postponement (an additional 90 days) of the effectiveness of certain provisions of the TSCA Section 6 trichloroethylene (TCE) risk management rule, specifically affecting conditions imposed on uses with TSCA §6(g) exemptions. The postponement extends the effectiveness date of the affected provisions until May 18, 2026. Compliance teams relying on §6(g) exemptions should reassess timing for meeting any conditions associated with exempted uses and track subsequent EPA actions in the same rulemaking docket.
