TITLE: Proposed Significant New Use Rule for Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes; Reopening of Comment Period ; ; AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ; ; ACTION: Final Rule ; ; SUMMARY: EPA is issuing 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 (MWCNT) which was the subject of premanufacture notice (PMN) P-08-199. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process the chemical substance for a use that is designated as a significant new use by this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. EPA believes that this action is necessary because the chemical substance may be hazardous to human health. 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. ; ; DATES: This final rule is effective 6 June 2011. ; ; URL: ; http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-05-06/html/2011-11127.htm ; http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-05-06/pdf/2011-11127.pdf ;

Elemental Mercury Used in Barometers, Manometers, Hygrometers/Psychrometers; Significant New Use Rule (8 pages, in English)
Distribution date: 21 June 2011 | Final date for Comment: 05 July 2011
EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for elemental mercury for use in barometers, manometers, and hygrometers/psychrometers. This action would require persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process elemental mercury 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. Not included in this proposed SNUR is mercury use in barometers, manometers, and hygrometers/psychrometers when they are in service as of the publication date of this proposed rule and mercury use in portable battery-powered motor-aspirated psychrometers that contain fewer than seven grams of elemental mercury because they are currently manufactured. For this proposed rule, the general SNUR exemption for persons that import or process chemical substances as part of an article at Sec. 721.45(f) would not apply. ;
Products Covered: Elemental mercury (HS 2805.40, ICS 13.020, 71.100)
