Proposed Significant New Use Rule for Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (14 pages, English)

Product Image

Distribution date: 10 February 2010 | Final date for Comment: 05 March 2010

EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the chemical substance identified generically as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (P-08-199). This action would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process the substance 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.

Products Covered: Carbon nanotubes (HS: 2803 ICS: 13.020, 71.100)
