Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Proposed Approval of the Muskingum River SO2 Attainment Plan

Announcing the 2024 Chemical Data Reporting Submission Period

The CDR rule requires manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory above an applicable regulatory threshold to report to EPA, every four years, information concerning the manufacturing, processing, and use of such chemical substances, unless exempt from this requirement under the CDR rule.

Flame Retardants; Significant New Uses Rules for Certain Non-Ongoing Uses
Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) for three flame retardants, tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), 4,4'-(1-methylethylidene)bis[2, 6-dibromophenol], also known as ``tetrabromobisphenol A,'' (TBBPA), and triphenyl phosphate (TPP), which are all undergoing TSCA risk evaluations. The proposed significant new uses are manufacture (including import) or processing for any use, with the exception that the conditions of use the Agency expects to consider within the scope of the TSCA section 6 risk evaluations are not proposed as significant new uses. Persons subject to the SNUR would be required to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing any manufacturing (including import) or processing of the chemical substance for a significant new use. Once EPA receives a notification, EPA must review and make an affirmative determination on the notification, and take such action as is required by any such determination before the manufacture (including import) or processing for the significant new use can commence.
