EPA Final Rule

Polymer Manufacturers Exemption Deadline Extension

Hot off the press and just released, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published its final rule today (February 16, 2024) to extend the deadline for polymer manufacturers (including importers) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This is partially due to the EPA requiring those seeking to utilize exemption reports and accompanying confidentiality claims to submit their documents electronically.

Originally, the deadline for submission was January 31, 2024. However, due to technical difficulties with the launch of their new electronic reporting tool, the EPA is extending the submission deadline to March 31, 2024, to allow manufacturers ample time to submit their documents. So, if you are and importer or manufacturer of polymers and thought you missed the deadline, you’re in luck!
