EPA Sets SNURs for 43 Chemicals

The Environmental Protection Agency is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 43 chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). As a result of the SNURs, persons planning to manufacture, import, or process any of these 43 chemicals for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule are to notify EPA at least 90 days in advance. The final rule is effective Sept. 8.
