disposal of PCE or products containing
PCE, related industry trade
organizations, non-governmental
organizations with an interest in human
and environmental health, state and
local governments, Tribal Nations, and/
or those interested in the assessment or
management of risks involving chemical
substances and mixtures regulated

B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under TSCA section 6(a) (15 U.S.C.
2605(a)), if the Agency determines
through a TSCA section 6(b) risk
evaluation that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce,
use or disposal of a chemical substance
presents an unreasonable risk of injury
to health or the environment, EPA must
by rule apply one or more requirements
listed in TSCA section 6(a)(1)–(7) to the
extent necessary so that the chemical
substance or mixture no longer presents
such risk.
C. What action is the Agency taking?
On December 18, 2024, EPA released
the final risk management rule for PCE
titled ‘‘Perchloroethylene (PCE);
Regulation Under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA)’’ (89 FR 103560,
December 18, 2024) (FRL–8329–01–
OCSPP) (hereinafter ‘‘PCE final rule’’).

Jkt 265001
Following its publication, EPA received
several petitions for review related to
the rule. These petitions for review were
consolidated in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Court
granted a temporary abeyance in the
litigation through August 21, 2025.
On May 12, 2025, EPA filed a
declaration with the Court advising that
the Agency intends to reconsider the
PCE final rule through further
rulemaking. In that declaration, the
Agency expressed its intent to solicit
early stakeholder input. EPA is now
soliciting early stakeholder input
regarding its intended reconsideration
of the rule. EPA invites public comment
on requirements and implementation of
the PCE final rule (89 FR 103560),
particularly on the topics described in
Unit II. The information received in
response to this notice will inform
EPA’s considerations of these
provisions.
This review is being done in
accordance with applicable law,
Executive Orders, and Administration
policies, including Executive Order
14219 ‘‘Ensuring Lawful Governance
and Implementing the President’s
‘Department of Government Efficiency’
Deregulatory Initiative’’ (90 FR 10583,
February 19, 2025) and EPA’s Powering
the Great American Comeback Initiative
Pillar I: Clean Air, Land, and Water for
Every American.

II. Request for Comment
EPA invites public comment on all
aspects of the PCE final rule, including
but not limited to any existing or
anticipated implementation issues
associated with the final rule
requirements, experiences with the PCE
final rule since it went into effect, and
whether the Agency should consider
additional or alternative measures or
PO 00000

approaches to address the unreasonable
risk presented by PCE under the
conditions of use. Input on the
following is of particular interest to
EPA:
• The Existing Chemical Exposure
Limit (ECEL) of 0.14 parts per million
(ppm) as an 8-hour time weighted
average (8-hr TWA) promulgated in the
PCE final rule as part of the Workplace
Chemical Protection Program (WCPP)
(see 40 CFR 751.603 and 751.607(b)),
including whether the use of a different
exposure limit would be more
appropriate to inform risk management.
Different exposure limits might include
but are not limited to: the acute noncancer exposure limit of 0.50 ppm (8-hr
TWA) and the lifetime cancer exposure
limit of 0.47 ppm (8-hr TWA) as
presented in the Existing Chemical
Exposure Limit (ECEL) for Occupational
Use of Perchloroethylene Memo
available at https://
www.regulations.gov/document/EPAHQ-OPPT-2020-0720-0043.
• Conditions of use the Agency could
contemplate subjecting to a WCPP as
opposed to imposing a prohibition.
Information such as workplace controls
currently in place or other information
demonstrating how regulated parties
could mitigate the unreasonable risk of
PCE for the condition of use would be
most helpful to the Agency.
• The use of PCE in industrial dry
cleaning processes including workplace
controls that reduce exposure to PCE
and the performance of alternatives to
PCE in these operations.
To the extent possible, the Agency
asks commenters to please cite and
provide any public data related to or
that supports comments provided, and
to the extent permissible, describe and
provide any supporting data that is not
publicly available.

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC has issued a rule requiring
periodic stress testing by FDICsupervised institutions having more
than $250 billion in total assets,
consistent with changes made by
section 401 of the Economic Growth,
Regulatory Relief, and Consumer
Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Section
165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires
each primary Federal regulator to issue
consistent and comparable regulations
to (1) ensure that certain financial
companies conduct stress tests; (2)
establish the form and content of the
required reports of such stress tests, and
(3) require companies to publish a
summary of the stress test results. As
originally enacted, section 165(i)(2)(C)
applied to all IDIs with average total
consolidated assets of $10 billion or
greater, required such IDIs to conduct
annual stress tests, and required the use
of three scenarios: baseline, adverse,
and severely adverse. Consistent with
the requirements of section 165(i)(2)(C),
as originally enacted, the FDIC
published its final rule implementing
section 165(i)(2) on October 15, 2012.
The requirements under 12 CFR part
325 applied to FDIC-supervised IDIs
with average total consolidated assets of
$10 billion or greater. The EGRRCPA,
enacted on May 24, 2018, amended
certain aspects of the company-run
stress-testing requirements in section
165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The
EGRRCPA amendments to the section
165(i)(2) stress testing requirements
became effective eighteen months after
enactment.
The aspects of 12 CFR part 325 that
constitute an information collection are
those that require a banking
organization to (1) file stress test reports
to be filed periodically with the FDIC
and the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the Board) in
the time, manner, and form specified by
the FDIC (12 CFR 325.6); (2) establish
and maintain a system of controls,
oversight, and documentation,
including policies and procedures that
describe the covered bank’s stress test
practices and methodologies, as well as
processes for updating such bank’s
stress test practices, as well as specific
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:34 Jul 29, 2025
Jkt 265001
calculations that must be made by the
banking organization during its stress
tests (12 CFR 325.5); and (3) publish a
summary of the results of its stress tests
(12 CFR 325.7).
On May 17, 2012, the FDIC, the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency, and
the Board published the 2012
Interagency Guidance on the use of
stress testing as a means to better
understand the range of a banking
organization’s potential risk exposures.
The guidance is intended for IDIs with
total consolidated assets of more than
$10 billion and provides an overview of
how a banking organization should
structure its stress testing activities to
ensure they fit into the banking
organization’s overall risk management
program. The purpose of the guidance is
to outline broad principles for a
satisfactory stress testing framework and
describe the manner in which stress
testing should be used, that is as an
integral component of risk management
applicable at various levels of
aggregation within a banking
organization as well as a tool for capital
and liquidity planning. The 2012
Interagency Guidance recommends that
IDIs stress test in coordination with
their ‘‘overall strategy and annual
planning cycles’’ and assess and review
their stress testing frameworks at least
once a year to ensure that stress testing
coverage is comprehensive, tests are
relevant and current, methodologies are
sound, and results are properly
considered.
The aspects of the 2012 Interagency
Guidance that constitute an information
collection are the provisions that state a
banking organization should (1) have a
stress testing framework that includes
clearly defined objectives, well designed
scenarios tailored to the banking
organization’s business and risks, well
documented assumptions, conceptually
sound methodologies to assess potential
impact on the banking organization’s
financial condition (section II); (2)
maintain an internal summary of test
results to document at a high level the
range of its stress testing activities and
outcomes, as well as proposed followup actions (section III); and (3) have
policies and procedures for a stress
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
testing framework (section VI). There
has been no change in the substance or
methodology of this information
collection. The 774 hour increase in
total estimated annual burden from
5,726 hours in 2023 to 6,500 hours
currently is due to the doubling of
annual responses to ICs 1–3 and the
increased number of respondents to IC
6 and is attenuated by the decreased
number of respondents to ICs 4 and 5.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on (a) whether
the collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collections,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.
