EPA extends certain compliance dates for perchloroethylene (PCE) and carbon tetrachloride (CTC) TSCA Section 6 rules (proposal)

EPA announced a proposal to extend certain compliance dates in the final TSCA Section 6 risk management rules for perchloroethylene (PCE) and carbon tetrachloride (CTC) while EPA works to revise these rules. Compliance teams should note EPA’s statement that existing deadlines remain in effect unless/until changed through rulemaking; organizations subject to the PCE/CTC prohibitions and related downstream requirements should monitor the forthcoming Federal Register publication and comment period details referenced by EPA and prepare for potential updated phase-in timelines if the proposal is finalized.
