The fourth quarter is often a busy time of year for regulators as they work to make good on their commitments and proposals. This month, the big news is the finalization of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reporting rule. In this edition of PFAS News and Views, we highlight that rule as well as some other actions worth noting.

Lately, we’ve all been watching and waiting for the EPA to publish its proposed MCLs (Maximum Contaminate Levels) for PFOA and PFOS and to designate these two compounds as hazardous substances under CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act). These two actions will have a huge impact on everything from Public Water Systems, to manufacturing, to property sales.
