August 3, 2022

U.S. EPA is issuing a correction to a final rule that  published in the Federal Register on July 05, 2022. The  document revised the regulations governing significant  new uses of chemical substances under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to align with revisions that were made to the Occupational Safety and Health  Administration (OSHA) Hazard  Communications Standard (HCS) and changes to the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) respirator certification requirements for the respiratory protection  of  workersfrom  exposure  to  chemicals.  EPA  also  amended  the  regulations  governing Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) to address issues that have been identified by EPA and raised by stakeholders  through  public  comments  and  made  a  minor  change  to  reporting  requirements  for premanufacture notices (PMNs) and other TSCA notifications. This document corrects inadvertent errors in three of the amendatory instructions that appeared in the regulatory text potion of the final rule
