TITLE: Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Final rule

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 26 chemical substances which are the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and deferring action on one chemical substance. The chemical substances are subject to Orders issued by EPA pursuant to section 5(e) of TSCA. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these 26 chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical substance, within the applicable review period. 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.

DATES: This rule is effective on 18 November 2019. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on 2 October 2019.
