EPA Withdraws SNURs for Three Chemicals

The Environmental Protection Agency is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) it recently set for three chemicals, it said (here). EPA said it received objections to three of the 30 SNURs the agency set in an October final rule (see 1510010077), so it will soon begin a formal rulemaking process for those three chemicals with a notice and comment period. The SNURs were originally set to take effect Dec. 1. The three chemicals were the subject of premanufacture notices P-15-221, P-15-247 and P-15-278.
