On June 27, 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") submitted its final Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals rule ("Pharm Rule") to the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), which is charged with reviewing every final and proposed federal agency rule before its publication in the Federal Register.  EPA published its proposed Pharm Rule in the Federal Register on September 25, 2015, nearly three years ago, but the final rule then stalled.  According to EPA's Spring 2018 Unified Agenda, EPA anticipates publishing the final Pharm Rule in October 2018.  Sending the rule to OMB yesterday signals that EPA may well issue the final rule in October.

We continue to closely follow the progress of the Pharm Rule.
