Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (20-5.B) - EPA 40 CFR Part 721 [EPA–HQ–OPPT–2020–0222; FRL–10009–17]

Title of document
Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (20-5.B) (8 page(s), in English)

Description
Proposed rule - EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances which are the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action would require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule. This action would further require that persons not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice, and EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice under TSCA, and has taken any risk management actions as are required as a result of that determination.
