EPA Proposes SNUR for Carbon Nanotubes

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing new reporting requirements for certain carbon nanotubes under a significant new use rule (SNUR) (here). The proposed SNUR would require notification to EPA at least 90 days in advance from importers, manufacturers or processors that intend to use the chemicals. It would apply to a "bimodal mixture consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and other classes of carbon nanotubes (generic)." Comments on the proposed SNUR are due July 10.
