US EPA publishes new use rules for toxic substances
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances that are subject to premanufacture notices (PMNs).
This new rule means that concerned persons have to notify EPA at least 90 days before manufacturing or import takes place. It also applies to processing any chemical substance under TSCA for an activity that is tagged as significant new use by the new rule. Therefore, concerned persons cannot comment manufacturing or processing of chemicals for the significant new use until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN) and EPA has made the notice determination, which comes after reviewing the notice.
The new rule will come into force on August 26, 2022, after its promulgation on July 11, 2022.
