EPA is delaying the effective date of an Obama-era nanomaterials reporting rule from May 12 to Aug. 14 while it considers crafting guidance on how to implement the rule, handing a win to the chemical sector that has called for the agency to repeal the rule in part because it fails to provide sufficient clarity on which substances are subject to its mandate. In a final rule published in the May 12 Federal Register, EPA announces the delay for the rule that the previous administration issued in January. The rule established reporting and recordkeeping requirements for certain chemical substances when they are manufactured or processes at the nanoscale, as defined in the rule. The rule is available on InsideEPA.com. (Doc. ID: 201652)
