This bill, titled the No IRIS Act of 2025, proposes to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from utilizing assessments produced by a specific program known as the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) when making certain regulatory decisions. Specifically, the bill states that the EPA's Administrator is prohibited from using IRIS-generated assessments for the following purposes:
Key Provisions
- Rule Development: The EPA cannot use IRIS assessments to create, finalize, or issue any rules or regulations.
- Regulatory Actions: The bill restricts the use of IRIS assessments in the execution of other regulatory, enforcement, or permitting actions.
- Air Toxics Assessments: The EPA may not rely on IRIS assessments for informing air toxic assessments or for any related mapping or screening tools.
In summary, the No IRIS Act of 2025 aims to limit the role of IRIS assessments in EPA's decision-making processes, which could potentially alter how environmental regulations are developed and enforced.
