EPA Proposes New SNURs for 65 Chemicals

June 11, 2024 |EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing new reporting requirements for 65 chemicals under significant new use rules. The proposed SNURs would require notification to EPA at least 90 days in advance of a new use by importers, manufacturers or processors, it said in a pair of notices published June 11. Importers of chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs would need to certify their compliance with the SNUR requirements should these proposed rules be finalized, EPA said. Exporters of these chemicals would become subject to export notification requirements. Comments on the proposed SNURs are due by July 11.
