Title: Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DecaBDE), Pentabromodiphenyl Ether (PentaBDE), and Octabromodiphenyl Ether (OctaBDE) | |
Abstract: EPA intends to propose a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) and is also considering a Test Rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DecaBDE) and/or Pentabromodiphenyl Ether (PentaBDE) and Octabromodiphenyl Ether (OctaBDE). The SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process these chemical substances, or an article containing them, for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule, to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs. The Test Rule may be needed to determine the health and environmental effects of DecaBDE and/or PentaBDE, and OctaBDE. The results of the tests that could be required under this rule would assist EPA in understanding the health and environmental effects of the substance to manage/minimize any potential risk and exposure. | |
