Federal Register Notice-Preliminary Regulatory Determinations
Today, a notice appeared in the Federal Register announcing EPA’s preliminary regulatory determinations.
See: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-03-10/pdf/2020-04145.pdf
The Agency is making preliminary determinations to regulate two contaminants (i.e., PFOS and PFOA) and to not regulate six
contaminants (i.e., 1,1-dichloroethane, acetochlor, methyl bromide, metolachlor, nitrobenzene, and RDX).
A preliminary regulatory determination lays out and takes comment on EPA’s view about whether certain unregulated contaminants meet
three statutory criteria. After EPA considers public comment, EPA makes a final determination.
The EPA seeks comment on these preliminary determinations. The EPA is also presenting an update on three other
CCL 4 contaminants (strontium, 1,4-dioxane, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane).
Comments must be received on or before May 11, 2020.
