Abstract

EPA is proposing changes to the Significant New Uses of Chemical Substances regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to align these regulations with recent revisions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communications Standard (HCS) and with changes to OSHA regulations and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) air-purifying particulate respirator certification requirements pertaining to respiratory protection of workers from exposure to chemicals. EPA is also proposing changes to Significant New Uses of Chemical Substances regulations based on issues that have been identified by EPA and public commenters for Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) issued under these regulations
