The EPA is seeking input from small businesses to formulate a potential rule on the use of Trichloroethylene (TCE), a solvent primarily used to remove grease from metal parts.
According to the EPA, TCE will “examine the risks resulting from the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use of TCE, as well as its manner of disposal.”
The Automotive Service Association reported that the EPA is currently seeking comments on the rule, which may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Self-nominations, which can be found on the EPA’s website, must be received by April 10.
