The EPA’s Spring 2024 Unified Regulatory Agenda outlines upcoming actions to increase restrictions on PFAS and other chemicals, impacting a wide range of products and industries.

Key initiatives include near-zero drinking water standards for PFAS, stricter reporting and monitoring requirements, and a ban on certain PFAS-containing items like firefighting equipment and nonstick cookware. Additional regulatory actions under the Toxic Substances Control Act are also planned, including new risk management rules for various chemicals and revised procedures for chemical reviews.

These changes pose new compliance challenges for manufacturers and the broader regulated community. 9/16/2024
