Comment submitted by Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Lake Superior Band of Chippewa Indians

Summary: The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, a federally recognized Tribal Nation, opposes the proposed rules to extend the PFOA and PFOS compliance deadline and to rescind regulatory determinations for several other PFAS substances. They argue that these actions violate statutory requirements, ignore scientific evidence regarding health risks, and shift the burden of protection from the government to individual community members.
