US EPA proposes SNURs for three FR
The US has proposed Significant New Use Rules (SNUR under TSCA section 6) for TCEP, TBBPA and TPP: tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate, 4,4’-(1-methylethylidene)bis[2, 6-dibromophenol], triphenyl phosphate. This requires notification of proposed new uses, whilst EPA carries out ongoing risk assessments of the three substances based on known existing uses.
