EPA Proposes Three New SNURs under TSCA
Monday 17 February 2014 at 8:58 pm.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for three chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action would require persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process any of the chemical substances 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 would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit the activity before it occurs. Comments must be received on or before April 11, 2014.
The substances related to this notice are Alkanes, C21-34-branched and linear, chloro [CAS # 1417900-96-9], Alkanes, C22-30-branched and linear, chloro [CAS # 1401947-24-0], and Alkanes, C24-28, chloro [CAS # 1402738-52-6].
