ESIA - European Semiconductor Industry Association 11/13 rue de la Duchesse, B-1150 Brussels, Belgium Document Control Office (7407M) Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. Washington, DC 204600001 June 26/6/2015 Re: Docket Identification (ID) number EPAHQOPPT20130225 The European Semiconductor Industry Association would like to endorse and support of the comments filed by the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) on the above-referenced matter. (Significant New Use Rules: Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylate and Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonate Chemical Substances) The EPA proposal on Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylate and Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonate Chemical Substances (80 Fed. Reg. 2885 (Jan. 21, 2015)) is of great interest to the European and global semiconductor industry. As stated in the SIA comments, the global semiconductor industry and our equipment and material suppliers have specific, ongoing uses of the chemicals covered by the proposal. The chemicals covered by this proposal continue to be used in the semiconductor industry in (1) the semiconductor manufacturing process, (2) in the complex equipment used to manufacture semiconductors, and (3) finished semiconductor devices and packaging. The global semiconductor industry utilizes a complex and integrated supply chain of equipment and material suppliers. Accordingly, this proposal has the potential to impact the global semiconductor industry, and we urge EPA to issue a final rule that exempts the specific, ongoing uses of the covered chemicals by the semiconductor industry. ABOUT ESIA The European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) is the voice of the Semiconductor Industry in Europe. Its mission is to represent and promote the common interests of the Europe-based semiconductor industry towards the European Institutions and stakeholders in order to ensure a sustainable business environment and foster its global competitiveness. As a provider of key enabling technologies the industry creates innovative solutions for industrial development, contributing to economic growth and responding to major societal challenges. Being ranked as the most R&D intensive sector by the European Commission, the European Semiconductor ecosystem supports approx. 200.000 jobs directly and up to 1.000.000 induced jobs in systems, applications and services in Europe. Overall, micro- and nano-electronics enable the generation of at least 10% of GDP in Europe and the world.

Abstract

EPA is proposing to amend significant new use rules (SNUR) for long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (LCPFAC) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (PFAS) chemical substances. This action would require persons subject to these SNURs to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing any significant new use.
