Title: Follow-Up Rules on Non-5(e) New Chemical Substances 
Abstract: EPA has instituted a program to regulate the commercial development of new chemicals that have completed premanufacture notice (PMN) review, where activities described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk but uncontrolled manufacture, import, processing, distribution, use, or disposal outside the activities described in the PMN may present an unreasonable risk. EPA will issue Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) requiring 90-day notification to EPA from any manufacturer, importer, or processor who would engage in activities that are designated as significant new uses. Under the Expedited Follow-up Rule (EFUR) which became effective on October 12, 1989, EPA will identify such new chemicals and publish them in a batch SNUR 3-4 times per year. Chemicals that were subject to a proposed SNUR before the effective date of the EFUR or do not qualify under the EFUR, may be regulated individually by notice and comment rulemaking and are listed below.
