Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances; Technical Amendment
In the Federal Register of November 5, 2008 (73 FR 65743) (FRL-8371-3), EPA issued direct final significant new use rules (SNURs) for 56 chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). For the chemical substance identified as Oxetane, 3,3'- [oxybis(methylene)] bis[3-ethyl- (PMN P-03-471; CAS No. 18934-00-4), the citation at Sec. 721.10095(a)(2)(ii) incorrectly identified one of the hazard communication program requirements. This action corrects the final regulation.
Request for Nominations to the Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Committee (FRRCC)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites nominations from a diverse range of qualified candidates to be considered for appointment to the Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Federal Advisory Committee (FRRCC). The FRRCC is a federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92463. The FRRCC was established in 2008 and provides independent advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of environmental issues and policies that are of importance to agriculture and rural communities. Members serve as representatives from academia, industry (e.g., farm groups and allied industries), non-governmental organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments.
Proposed Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances
EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for two chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices. The two substances are identified generically as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (P-08-177) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (P-08-328). These substances are subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. The consent orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs on these substances are based on and consistent with the provisions in the underlying consent orders. The proposed SNURs designate as a ``significant new use'' the absence of the protective measures required in the corresponding consent orders. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process either of these two substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs.
