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.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.
Tom Bush, Jr.

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

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.
George Alva

Lion's online training is more comprehensive, has better slides, and is a superior training experience than what I would get from other trainers.

The online course was well thought out and organized, with good interaction between the student and the course.
Larry Ybarra

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
Danny Province

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!

The price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.
