EPA’s response to public ethers for new uses that may produce certification and export notification comments received on the proposed changes in human and environmental rules under TSCA. Persons who import rule appears in Unit X. Please consult exposures. The rationale and objectives any chemical substance are subject to the July 12, 2011 Federal Register for this SNUR are explained in Unit III. the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) document for further background import certification requirements and information for this final rule. E. What are the estimated incremental the corresponding regulations at 19 CFR This final SNUR applies to seven of impacts of this action? 12.118 through 12.127; see also 19 CFR the 14 ethylene glycol ethers identified 127.28. Those persons must certify that in the proposed rule. EPA is not EPA has evaluated the potential costs the shipment of the chemical substance finalizing the SNUR for the other seven of establishing SNUR reporting complies with all applicable rules and ethylene glycol ethers proposed because requirements for potential orders under TSCA, including any the Agency believes that these manufacturers and processors of the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in chemicals are not sufficiently similar to chemical substances included in this support of import certification appears the seven chemicals subject to this final rule. This analysis, which is at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B.
