Chemical Regulations

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to publish in the Federal Register a statement of its findings after its review of certain TSCA submissions when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs), microbial commercial activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA under TSCA. This document presents statements of findings made by EPA on such submissions during the period from March 1, 2026, to March 31, 2026.

EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use in the SNUR. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a review of the required notification; made an appropriate determination regarding that notification; and taken such actions as required by that determination.

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) purpose is protecting human health and the environment through its work on chemical safety. As an EU decentralised agency operating under an evolving and increasingly complex regulatory landscape, ECHA delivers technical, scientific and administrative tasks essential to the implementation of EU chemicals legislation and policy. The Agency provides transparent, independent, and high-quality scientific opinions and decisions, serving as a foundation for Union-level measures. The Agency maintains robust governance and scientific procedures, actively collaborates with EU institutions, Member States, third countries, and international organisations. ECHA also supports industry—including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—by offering practical tools, advice, and guidance to help them meet their regulatory obligations. In addition, the Agency ensures that stakeholders and the public have access to relevant, reliable, and objective information on chemicals, underpinning transparency and trust in its operations. ECHA’s achievements in 2025 demonstrate a strong and sustained commitment to our expanding mandate, strategic goals and to our vision of advancing chemical safety through science, collaboration and knowledge.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of the final risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 1,2-dichloroethane (CASRN 107- 06-2). The purpose of risk evaluations under TSCA is to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the conditions of use (COUs), including unreasonable risk to potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations identified as relevant to the risk evaluation by EPA, and without consideration of costs or non-risk factors. EPA used the best available science to prepare this final risk evaluation and determined, based on the weight of scientific evidence, that 1,2-dichloroethane presents an unreasonable risk of injury to human health driven by risk to workers through workplace exposure under 15 COUs. EPA did not identify contributions to unreasonable risk of injury for consumer exposure, exposure to the general population, or to the environment, under any COUs for 1,2-dichlorethane. Consistent with TSCA, EPA will now initiate risk management actions to address the unreasonable risk.
