Proposal to Amend the Polychlorinated Biphenyl Regulations

EPA is proposing several regulatory changes to the implementation of the regulations for the cleanup and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Three of the key proposed changes include expanding the available options for test methods used to characterize and verify the cleanup of PCB waste, amending disposal options for cleanups, and adding flexibility during emergencies. The proposed changes aim to improve clarity and implementation of the PCB regulations, resulting in quicker and more efficient cleanups, and allowing for greener technology in laboratories. EPA will seek comment on this proposal during a 60-day public comment period once it's published in the Federal Register.

New: Solar Panel End-of-Life Webpages Now Available

On September 9, 2021, EPA published three new web pages on end-of-life management of solar panels. These pages provide information on how solar panels are regulated at the end of life when recycled or disposed of. 

Find information here about different types of solar panels and how they are regulated at end of life. If you are disposing of solar panels that are hazardous waste, then regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C must be followed to make sure the panels are safely recycled or disposed of.
