♻️EPA's Final Rule on Perchloroethylene Emission Standards for Dry Cleaners
This action finalizes the Clean Air Act (CAA) technology review (TR) conducted for the commercial and industrial dry cleaning facilities using perchloroethylene (PCE) as the cleaning solvent (PCE Dry Cleaning) source categories regulated under National Emission Standards for Hazardous air Pollutants (NESHAP). This final rule does not finalize the changes made at proposal and makes no amendments to the current NESHAP given the recently finalized action under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) which has instituted a 10-year phaseout of the use of PCE for dry cleaning.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry (GFI) #251 entitled "Heritable Intentional Genomic Alterations in Animals of Food-Producing Species for Use as Models of Disease." This draft guidance, when finalized, will set forth FDA's policy regarding heritable intentional genomic alterations (IGAs) in animals of food- producing species, such as swine and rabbits, that are intended to be marketed for use as models of human or animal disease in biomedical research under contained and controlled conditions. The draft guidance describes the conditions under which we generally may not expect developers of IGAs in animal models of disease to submit an application to FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) or to get our approval before marketing their animals following CVM's prior review of risk factor data.
Learn More🦠FDA Guidance on Reducing Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Transmission Risks
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for immediate implementation entitled "Recommendations To Reduce the Risk of Transmission of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) by Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps)." FDA is issuing this guidance to assist establishments that make donor eligibility determinations for donors of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), with recommendations for screening donors for evidence of, and risk factors for, infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the organism that causes tuberculosis. The guidance also recommends additional steps that HCT/P establishments should take to reduce risk of transmission of Mtb until such time as appropriate FDA-licensed, approved, or cleared donor screening tests are available for use to test donors for Mtb infection. The guidance identifies Mtb as a relevant communicable disease agent or disease (RCDAD) and supplements the recommendations contained in other donor eligibility guidance documents for donors of HCT/Ps. This guidance is being issued to address the urgent public health need to reduce the risk of transmission of Mtb by HCT/Ps.
