You’ve got until September 26, 2011 to comment on a proposed new regulation from The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that will mandate testing for the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) “in the vicinity of expected BPA releases to determine whether environmental organisms may currently be exposed to concentrations of BPA in the environment that are at or above levels of concern for adverse effects, including endocrine-related effects.”

Proposed regulation (attached) appears in July 26, 2011 edition of the Federal Register as an “Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” (ANPR)…
