Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act of 2025
This bill requires oil and gas companies conducting hydraulic fracturing operations to disclose detailed chemical ingredients before starting and within 30 days after completing operations. Companies must provide full chemical names, CAS numbers, safety data sheets, and volumes to state or federal authorities, who then make this information publicly available online. The bill includes an exception allowing immediate disclosure of proprietary chemical formulas during medical emergencies, though companies can later request confidentiality agreements. It directly affects fracking operators in oil, gas, and geothermal production, amending the Safe Drinking Water Act to mandate transparency while maintaining trade secret protections outside emergency situations.
