Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Question and Answer Manual and Response to Comment Documents

The PCB Question and Answer manual is a living document and is periodically revised and updated. Each update or revision will be dated. This date will appear as a header on each page of the manual and will also appear on this web page. 

Additionally, on this page are responses to comment documents developed for several PCB rulemakings that cover a wide range of PCB topics.
