EPA Withdraws SNURs for Four Chemicals

The Environmental Protection Agency is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) it set for four chemicals. The agency said it received objections to four of the 35 SNURs EPA set in a February final rule (see 14021117), so it will soon begin a formal rulemaking process for those four chemicals with a notice and comment period. The SNURs were originally set to take effect April 14. The four chemicals were the subject of premanufacture notices P-13-365, P-13-392, P-13-393, and P-13-471.
