Title: ●Significant New Use Rule (SNUR); Di-n-pentyl Phthalate (DnPP) 
Abstract: EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP). This proposed rule would require manufacturers and processors of DnPP to notify EPA at least 90 days before manufacturing, importing, or processing DnPP for a significant new use. The required notice would provide EPA the opportunity to evaluate the significant new use, and if necessary, prohibit such activity to prevent unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. DnPP was identified for potential action in EPA's Existing Chemical Action Plan for Phthalates, released in December 2009. The most recent Inventory Update Reporting data contain no reports of this phthalate being produced or imported into the United States.
