The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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) and are also subject to Orders issued by EPA 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. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required by that determination.

Risk assessment | Chemicals | The Perchloroethylene (PCE); Draft Revision to…
The Perchloroethylene (PCE); Draft Revision to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Risk Determination: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of and seeking public comment on a draft revision to the risk determination for the Perchloroethylene (PCE) risk evaluation issued under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The draft revision to the PCE risk determination reflects the announced policy changes to ensure the public is protected from unreasonable risks from chemicals in a way that is supported by science and the law. In this draft revision to the risk determination EPA finds that PCE, as a whole chemical substance, presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health when evaluated under its conditions of use. (...) This revision, when final, would supersede the condition of use-specific no unreasonable risk determinations in the December 2020 PCE risk evaluation (and withdraw the associated order) and would make a revised determination of unreasonable risk for PCE as a whole chemical substance.
