Semiconductor smog checks get paperwork extension—no chips frying.

## Summary

The EPA is asking to keep collecting info from semiconductor makers to keep pollution rules in check, extending their approval through September 2029. This affects companies that make computer chips and helps ensure cleaner air without adding new costs. You’ve got until October 26, 2026, to share your thoughts on this plan!

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Semiconductor Manufacturing (EPA ICR Number 2042.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0519) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through September 30, 2026. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on August 6, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
