by John J. Kowalski, CHMMOn December 16, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) proposed to regulate certain uses of Trichloroethylene (TCE). See our previous blog article entitled “EPA Proposes to Regulate Certain Uses of Trichloroethylene,” which was posted on 13 January 2017, for additional information.On February 15, 2017, EPA extended the comment period from February 14, 2017 until March 16, 2017. This means that stakeholders who choose to submit comments on the proposed rule have additional time to do so.Reference:Environmental Protection Agency. “Trichloroethylene (TCE); Regulation of Certain Uses Under Toxic Substances Control Act; Extension of Comment Periods.” Federal Register 82 (15 February 2017): 10732-10732. https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2017-02-15/pdf/2017-02965.pdf
