EPA Proposes New SNURs for 8 Chemicals

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing new reporting requirements for eight chemicals under significant new use rules. The proposed SNURs would require notification to EPA at least 90 days in advance of a new use by importers, manufacturers or processors. Importers of chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs would need to certify their compliance with the SNUR requirements should these proposed rules be finalized, EPA said. Exporters of these chemicals would become subject to export notification requirements. Comments on the proposed SNURs are due July 15.

The SNURs would cover the following chemical substances:

• Formaldehyde, reaction products with 1,3-benzenedimethanamine and p-tertbutylphenol
• 2-Propanol, 1-butoxy-, 2,2'-ester (generic)
• Haloalkane (generic)
• Ethanamine, N-ethyl-, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (1:?)
• Copper, [[2,2',2''-(nitrilo-.kappa.N)tris[ethanolato-.kappa.O]](2-)]- (P-19-109, chemical A)
• Copper, bis[2-(amino-.kappa.N)ethanolato-.kappa.O]- (P-19-109, chemical B)
• Carbonic acid, di(lithium-6Li) salt
• Lithium chloride (6LiCl).
