Senate Moves to Disapprove EPA PFAS Reporting Rule

The U.S. Senate is considering S.J.Res.187, a joint resolution aimed at disapproving a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This resolution seeks to block the EPA's "Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)."

The proposed congressional disapproval, under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, targets the EPA's adjustment to the timeline for submitting data on PFAS chemicals. This action reflects legislative oversight concerning environmental reporting requirements.
