Filing a SNUN

SNUNs are submitted on the PMN form. After a submitter files a SNUN it must wait ninety days for EPA comment before engaging in the significant new use, but that ninety-day review period maybe extended or suspended. ... [Pg.393]

The standardized set of significant new uses appears on its surface to set out requirements for handling a SNUR substance. In effect, they are requirements because most manufacturers, importers, and processors of SNUR substances would rather follow the requirements of the SNUR than file a SNUN if at all possible. However, looking at the standardized set of significant new uses from a different, more literal, perspective, they are only a Hst of handhng procedures, and if anyone handles SNUR substances any other way, they will be engaging in a significant new use. [Pg.402]

Many of the standardized significant new uses refer to activities undertaken by an employer. Employer is defined as any manufacturer, importer, processor, or user of chemical substances or mixtures and does not literally mean an entity that has people on its payroll. The term employer is misleading in the SNUR context and will not be used in this discussion. To the extent that the standardized SNURs seem to impose obligations on users of substances, it is important to keep in mind that people who use substances, but do not manufacture, import, or process those substances do not have any obligation to file a SNUN for a significant new use." ... [Pg.402]

Each manufacturer, importer, or processor must file its own SNUN, even if another company has filed one and the review period has elapsed. ERA will permit companies to file SNUNs jointly so that they can commence using the substance at the same time. For example, a manufacturer and several of its customers that process a SNUR substance may file one SNUR jointly. If the ERA changes a SNUR based on information it receives from a company that filed a SNUN, it may amend the SNUR so that other companies will not have to file a SNUN based on a use that the ERA determines not to pose an unreasonable risk. °... [Pg.428]

If a significant new use relates to import, the principal importer of a substance subject to a SNUR is required to file a SNUN. The principal importer is defined as the first importer who, knowing that a chemical substance will be imported for a significant new use rather than manufactured in the United States, specifies the chemical substance and the amount to be imported. The definition adds that [o]nly persons who are incorporated, licensed, or doing business in the United States may be principal importers. ... [Pg.428]

Stop all shipments of the SNUR substance to that recipient and must file a SNUN itself unless it can document each of the following ... [Pg.430]

If the EPA does not agree with recipient s statement that it is not engaging in a significant new use, then the EPA can notify the distributor and the distributor must immediately stop all distribution to the recipient. Distribution can only resume once either the distributor or recipient files a SNUN and the ninety-day review period elapses. [Pg.430]

Many of the exemptions from PMN requirements are applicable to SNURs, but because SNURs cover processors the SNUR rules are adapted to cover processing when required. A person who has received a test marketing exemption for a significant new use ° or has been granted an exemption under TSCA 5(h) (5)is exempt from SNUR requirements. A person who manufactures, imports, or processes a SNUR substance solely for research and development or as an impurity or as a byproduct that is burned as a fuel, disposed of as waste, or from which other substances are extracted for commercial purposes is exempt from SNUR requirements. An importer or processor who imports or processes the substance as part of an article is exempt from the SNUR requirements, but a manufacturer of an article is not." A person who manufactures, imports, or processes a SNUR substance solely for export is exempt from filing a SNUN so long as the substance is labeled as... [Pg.431]

C.ER. 721.5(c). This exception from the requirement to file a SNUN only applies to processors. Manufacturers and importers have an obligation to identify their chemicals and determine if SNURs apply. [Pg.431]

An R D substance that is the subject of a SNUR must be disposed of consistent with the SNUR if the SNUR puts restrictions on disposal the R D processor is not exempt from those restrictions. Similarly, any further use of the R D substance must be consistent with the SNUR restrictions. For example, if the SNUR prohibits incorporating the R D substance into an article unless the processor files a SNUN, then the processor cannot incorporate the substance into an article without violating the R D exemption rules. As a result there is no blanket authorization to distribute surplus R D material if it is an impurity or part of an article. The R D regulations must be followed even if the purpose of the R D is to evaluate the substance for its pesticidal properties. [Pg.434]

Two or more companies can file one SNUN together if they are both obligated to file a SNUN. All the companies that file the SNUN must sign the certification portion of the PMN form. Each remains individually responsible for searching for relevant information in its possession or control or reasonably ascertainable by it. ... [Pg.435]

Entities that are complying with the requirements for avoiding a determination that their use is a significant new use should comply with these requirements to prove that they are not required to file a SNUN. [Pg.436]

Violation of the warning and supervision conditions for an R D exemption is a chemical control violation and penalties are assessed on a per-day basis Violation of the recordkeeping condition for an R D exemption is a control-associated data-gathering violation, and penalties are assessed on a one-time basis. Failure to file a SNUN is a hazard assessment violation. [Pg.437]

The 5 ERP gives an example of a penalty calculation for failure to file a SNUN 51... [Pg.438]
