Decabromodiphenyl Ether and Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1); Revision to the Regulation of PBT Chemicals under TSCA (Final Rule)

This ICR addresses revisions from EPAs final rules for decaBDE and PIP (3:1) as part of the Reconsideration of the Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Chemicals rule under TSCA section 6(h). This rulemaking is revising the 2021 final rule for decaBDE by requiring the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during domestic manufacturing and processing; requiring a label on plastic shipping pallets that are known to contain decaBDE; prohibiting releases to water from manufacturing, processing, and distribution in commerce of decaBDE; extending the compliance date for the phase-out of processing and distribution in commerce of decaBDE-containing wire and cable insulation for nuclear power generation facilities; and adding an export notification requirement for decaBDE-containing wire and cable for nuclear power generation facilities. This rulemaking is revising the 2021 final rule for PIP (3:1) by requiring a closed-loop system for the use of PIP (3:1) in the manufacture of cyanoacrylate adhesives; requiring PPE during manufacturing and processing for most remaining uses and for inhalation and dermal exposures; excluding the processing and distribution of PIP (3:1) for use in wire harnessing and electric conduit boards; establishing a 5-year time limit to the exclusion for non-turbine and non-aviation uses for lubricants and greases; establishing a 5-year time-limit for processing and distribution in commerce of PIP (3:1) in a marine antifouling coating for use on Navy ships; repealing the existing exclusions for motor vehicles and aerospace vehicles and replacing them with prohibition phase-ins; and establishing a 10-year time limit on PIP (3:1)-containing articles used in manufacturing equipment and the semiconductor industry.
