PDF versionPDF version

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks comments in anticipation of a proposed rule on how companies should report chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. The EPA requests input on effective methods for companies to disclose chemicals, on whether disclosing fracking chemicals should be mandatory or voluntary, and invites suggestions for a potential incentive program for voluntary disclosure.

Comments must be received by the EPA on or before August 18, 2014.
