Revision of the Guidelines on Regulated Toxic Chemical Substances and the Management of Their Handling.
Fourteen toxic chemical substances, including Sudan dyes, have been classified as Class 4 toxic chemical substances under the specifications of this Official Announcement. These classifications were made in light of a number of food safety incidents in recent years, in response to illegal chemical substances entering the food supply chain and being mixed in with food products or animal feed, and in consideration of food safety risks that endanger the public's health.Furthermore, in response to international regulatory trends, pentachlorophenyl laurate has been classified as a Class 1 and a Class 3 toxic chemical substance, and perflurooctanoic acid as a class 4 toxic chemical substance. The controlled concentration level of perfiuorooctane sulfonic acid has also been revised. |

EPA is proposing to amend the significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for Oxazolidine, 3,3'-methylenebis[5-methyl-, which was the subject of a premanufacture notice (PMN) and a significant new use notice (SNUN) . This action would amend the SNUR to allow certain new uses reported in the SNUN without requiring additional SNUNs and make the lack of certain worker protections a new use. EPA is proposing this amendment based on review of new and existing data as described for the chemical substance. A SNUR requires persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process this chemical substance 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 initiates EPA's evaluation of the intended use within the applicable review period. Manufacture and processing for the significant new use would be unable to commence until EPA conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and took such actions as are required with that determination.
