HR 1158 United States House · 118th Congress

Elimination of Future Technology Delays Act of 2023

This bill amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to address reviews of chemical substances critical to energy infrastructure. It requires the EPA Administrator to consider economic, societal, and environmental costs/benefits when reviewing such substances (defined by the Secretary of Energy as essential to U.S. energy systems with vulnerable supply chains), overriding a standard prohibition against these factors. If the EPA fails to act within the review timeline, companies can proceed with their planned actions without further EPA review, and the EPA is relieved of making that determination. The bill also mandates the EPA conduct a preliminary review and provide a draft determination before asking a company to withdraw a submission or pause the review period.
