Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (21-2.F): PA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) . The chemical substances received "not likely to present an unreasonable risk" determinations pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical substance, within the applicable review period. (...)

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of HFO-1234yf Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program for Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning in Nonroad Vehicles and Servicing Fittings for Small Refrigerant Cans: Pursuant to the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy program, this action proposes to list the refrigerant 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene, also known as HFO-1234yf or R-1234yf, as acceptable, subject to use conditions, in the motor vehicle air conditioning end-use for certain types of newly manufactured nonroad (also called off-road) vehicles, which includes some vehicles that are also considered heavy-duty vehicles. (...) In addition, EPA is proposing to require unique servicing fittings for use with small refrigerant cans (two pounds or less) of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene that are used to service onroad and nonroad vehicles. Finally, EPA is proposing to add a reference to the Agency's regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act for 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene for the proposed listings in nonroad vehicles and previous listings for certain onroad vehicles.

National Food Safety Standard of the P.R.C.: Maximum Residue Limits for 41 Veterinary Drugs in Foods: This standard stipulates maximum residue limits (MRLs) for the residues of 41 veterinary drugs, including altrenogest, etc. in animal derived foods.
Some proposed residue limits may differ from maximum residue limits standards of Codex. The scientific methodology adopted to establish MRLs in China is consistent with international common practice. Members set MRLs in accordance with the good agricultural practice (GAP), which is applicable to their respective conditions. Since the pests and environmental factors vary in different producing regions and Members, they may choose different use-patterns of pesticides. Therefore, Chinese MRLs for pesticides in foods may differ from Codex standards. |

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning renewing the approval of the active substance cypermethrin as a candidate for substitution in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011:
This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance cypermethrin is renewed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. It is however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions for spray applications outdoors to ensure the required protection level for aquatic organisms and non-targeted arthropods including bees is met. (...) In its Statement on risk mitigation measures on cypermethrin published on 4 October 2019, EFSA presented the levels of the necessary drift reduction and the measures that would be needed to demonstrate low risk to the non-target organisms, in particular aquatic organisms and non-target arthropods, including bees.
