USA proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for one chemical substance that was the subject of a premanufacture notice (PMN). The applicable review period for the PMN submitted for this chemical substance ended prior to 22 June 2016, the date on which President Obama signed into law the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (which amends TSCA). This action would require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process the chemical substance for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the intended use within the applicable review period. Manufacture and processing for the significant new use is unable to commence until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and take such actions as are required with that determination. Products covered : Chemical substances. Environmental protection, Products of the chemical industry (HS 28-38) Proposed date of adoption : To be determined Proposed date of entry into force : To be determined Final date for comments : 10 July 2017 |
