On May 8, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published its final rule designating perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA).

In February 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed two rules under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The first modifies RCRA’s definition of “hazardous waste” as it applies to cleanups at permitted hazardous waste facilities and the second adds nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the RCRA list of “hazardous constituents.”
