Sloane Wildman and Alex Graf Co-Author PFAS Perspective
After EPA announced that it would retain the CERCLA hazardous substance designations for PFOA and PFOS on September 17, 2025, it filed a motion to lift the abeyance from the ongoing litigation regarding the designations in the D.C. Circuit in Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America v. EPA, No. 24-1193 (D.C. Cir.). The case was initiated in June 2024 when the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other industry groups challenged the Biden administration’s final rule designating PFOA and PFOS as CERCLA hazardous substances in the D.C. Circuit. In February 2025, after the Trump administration took office, EPA requested that the court hold the case in abeyance while it considered whether it would take a different position on the designation.
