EPA Issues New TSCA Significant New Use Rules for 3 Chemical Substances
Posted on 2/12/2016 by Roger Marks
In a today’s Federal Register, US EPA finalized Significant New Use Rules for three chemical substances. The specific chemical substances covered in this EPA Final Rule are three very long chain chlorinated paraffins (vLCCPs) substances covered under PMNs P-12-539, P-13-107, and P-13-109.
What Is a TSCA Premanufacture Notice (PMN)? Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), US EPA maintains lists of chemical substances manufactured in or imported into the United States. When chemical manufacturers plan to start distributing or selling a new chemical substance or product, they must submit a “premanufacture notice” (PMN) to alert EPA of their intentions.
What Is a TSCA Significant New Use Rule (SNUR)?
When manufacturing a known chemical substance—one for which the manufacturer has already submitted a premanufacture notice—for a significant new use, manufacturers must submit a Significant New Use Notification, or SNUN, 90 days before starting their activities. [40 CFR 721.5(a)(1)(A)].
The Final Rule is effective April 12, 2016. See the Federal Register for more details.

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.

The instructor was very patient and engaging - willing to answer and help explain subject matter.

I have been to other training companies, but Lion’s material is much better and easier to understand.

I will never go anywhere, but to Lion Technology.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

No comparison. Lion has the best RCRA training ever!!

The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.
Robert Roose
Manager, Dangerous Goods Transportation
Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!
