2070-AK45 201810 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2070 Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention OCSPP 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Asbestos; Significant New Use Rule

EPA is developing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain uses of asbestos that are no longer in use in the United States. Persons subject to the SNUR would be required to notify the EPA at least 90 days before commencing such manufacture or processing. The required notifications would initiate EPA's evaluation of the intended use within the applicable review period. Manufacture and processing for the significant new use would be unable to commence until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and taken such actions as are required in association with that determination. EPA issued a proposed SNUR on June 11, 2018.
