🇬🇧 English

This notice keeps EPA’s existing paperwork approval process moving for continuous release reports under EPCRA and CERCLA. It does not change the reporting rules now, but asks the public to comment before EPA sends the information collection package to the Office of Management and Budget. Facilities that report continuous releases of hazardous substances should watch the docket and may want to comment by August 25, 2026, especially if the reporting burden, forms, or data requirements affect their compliance workload.
