Environmental Protection Agency December 7, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC) and the Small Communities Advisory Subcommittee (SCAS) will conduct a virtual meeting. Due to unforeseen circumstances with scheduling key officials, EPA is announcing this meeting with less than 15 calendar days' notice. Notice has previously been posted to EPA's website.

EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires persons to notify EPA least 90 days before commencing manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule. This action further requires that persons not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), and EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken any risk management actions as are required as a result of that determination.
