EPA revokes NSR reactivation policy
Much of the new source review (NSR) program is administered through policy, and most states have their own authorized NSR permitting programs. In September 2025, EPA rescinded its longstanding “reactivation policy,” which had been used to subject sources to NSR permitting that might otherwise be exempt. Now, sources that have been idled but will restart their operations and don’t conduct modifications will not be pulled into NSR. The agency acknowledges that state, local, and tribal authorities may continue to enforce the older, more stringent policy. READ MORE

PFAS proposal cuts TSCA reporting
EPA aims to loosen the rules on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting. First finalized in 2023, the agency is proposing to add exemptions to the TSCA PFAS reporting provisions to reduce the administrative burden on PFAS manufacturers and importers. The understanding is that, since the submitted data would be retrospective, and facilities are unlikely to have that data for other compliance purposes, what would be submitted would be incomplete and of little use. The agency is also seeking to extend the reporting deadline beyond the currently scheduled April 13, 2026. READ MORE

Haz waste combustors facing NESHAP changes
Impacting facilities such as hazardous waste incinerators, cement kilns, and industrial boilers, EPA proposed its residual risk and technology review of the hazardous waste combustor NESHAP on November 10, 2025. [90 FR 50814] The proposed amendments would add emission limits and work practice standards for hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen cyanide, add electronic reporting requirements, and allow states to exclude affected area sources from Title V permitting. The agency is also seeking additional information to improve its risk assessments and other analyses. A redline strikeout of the proposed amendments is available, and EPA intends to have a final rule signed by December 31, 2025, to comply with a court-ordered deadline. [Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League vs. Regan, U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit; Case No. 22-cv-3134; December 12, 2024] Comments may be submitted through December 26, 2025 via Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0022.
