USA proposes Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 31 chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). Eight of these chemical substances are subject to TSCA Orders issued by EPA and the remaining 23 of these chemical substances received a "not likely to present an unreasonable risk" determination. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these 31 chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required by that determination. Products covered : Chemical substances; Environmental protection (ICS 13.020), Production in the chemical industry (ICS 71.020), Inorganic chemicals (ICS 71.060), Products of the chemical industry (ICS 71.100) HS Code : Proposed date of adoption: To be determined Proposed date of entry into force: To be determined Final date for comments: 12 November 2019 |
