For the chemical substance identified as Oxetane, 3,3' [oxybis(methylene)] bis[3ethyl (PMN P03471; CAS No. 18934004), the citation at Sec. 721.10095(a)(2)(ii) incorrectly identified one of the hazard communication program requirements.

Proposed Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances

Fri, Nov 6 2009 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for two chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices.

The proposed SNURs designate as a ``significant new use'' the absence of the protective measures required in the corresponding consent orders. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process either of these two substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this proposed rule to notify EPA at least 90
