EPA Withdraws SNURs for Six Chemicals
The Environmental Protection Agency is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) it set for six chemicals in July (see 14070719 and 14070810). EPA had issued the SNURs in a direct final rule without a notice and comment period, but is withdrawing them effective Sept. 8 after it was notified that several parties intended to submit adverse comments. The agency will now issue the SNURs as proposed rules and allow for a formal comment period, it said.
