The last full week of February found things just a touch slow in the regulatory world; this coming week features “Leap Day,” which happens just once every four years. So, do something special to enjoy it! Here’s the latest news:
EPA
The agency finalized amendments to the rule that established fees for the administration of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Specifically, EPA is updating:
- the fee amounts and EPA’s total costs for administering TSCA
- exemptions for entities subject to the EPA-initiated risk evaluation fees
- exemptions for test rule fee activities
- modifications to the self-identification and reporting requirements of EPA-initiated risk evaluation and test rule fees
- modifications to EPA’s proposed methodology for the productionvolume-based fee allocation for EPA initiated risk evaluation fees in any scenario in which a consortium is not formed
- expanded fee requirements to companies required to submit information for test orders
- modifications to the fee payment obligations of processors subject to test orders and enforceable consent agreements (ECA)
- extended timeframes for certain fee payments and notices
This rule is effective on April 22, 2024. See it here.
