Mr. Voyles:
I represent the Alliance for a Strong U.S. Battery Sector and am writing regarding the request for a stay pending review of EPA's final rule entitled Trichloroethylene (TCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 89 Fed. Reg. 102,568 (Dec. 17, 2024), that we submitted on January 20, 2025 (please see attached).
As you likely know, on January 28, 2025, EPA temporarily delayed the effective date of the TCE Rule until March 21, 2025. With that deadline quickly approaching, we would like to have the opportunity to discuss our stay request with you. We support continuing a stay of the effective date for the TCE Rule. That said, we believe that the irreparable harm battery-separator manufacturers face under the TCE Rule can be substantially avoided with a narrow stay focused on the specific provisions of the TCE Rule applying the Workplace Chemical Protection Program to those manufacturers, without disturbing the Rule's broader requirements.
We can be available at your convenience.
Best, Dan Feith DANIEL J. FEITH
