History/Chronology

| Feb 2009 | EPA released an updated external review draft for public review and comment. |
| Mar 2009 | EPA announced a public listening session for the draft review report. |
| Apr 2009 | EPA announced an external peer review workshop for the draft review report to be held on May 21st in Washington, DC. |

Next Steps
EPA has removed the platinum fuel additive from the list of registered additives for use in on-road diesel vehicles. Because of this, the Agency no longer has a need for the IRIS assessment of halogenated platinum salts.
