US Labor Department gives companies 60 more days to comment on formaldehyde rules

The US Labor Department is giving companies two more months to submit comments on proposed new rules for formaldehyde. This means businesses have extra time to gather data and prepare their arguments before the rules are finalized.

New safety rules for chemicals like formaldehyde can be expensive for businesses to implement. Extending the comment period gives companies more time to lobby for changes or prepare for compliance costs. It also means the final rules will take longer to arrive.
