Title: Significant New Use Rule; Alkylpyrrolidone Products | |
Abstract: EPA is finalizing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for N-ethylpyrrolidone (NEP) and N-isopropylpyrrolidone (NiPP). On November 28, 2016, EPA proposed to designate as a significant new use any use of NiPP and any use of NEP except for the ongoing uses as a reactant, in silicone seal remover, coatings, consumer and commercial paint primer, and adhesives. The SNUR would require persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify the EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification 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. | |
