Entry 78 of Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation, introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 of 25 September 2023 (commonly known as “the microplastics restriction”), hereafter referred to as “the restriction”, sets out reporting requirements for certain uses of synthetic polymer microparticles (SPMs) subject to a derogation. The purpose of this document is to help manufacturers, industrial downstream users and suppliers of SPM comply with the annual reporting requirements to ECHA. The reporting is done in a IUCLID format, and the dossier is submitted to ECHA via REACH-IT. According to the restriction, the purpose of the reporting requirements is to contribute to the monitorability of the effectiveness of the instructions for use and disposal and improve the evidence base for the risk management of the uses exempted from the prohibition of placing on the market. To ensure the optimal use of the reported information and facilitate enforcement, the information is made available to the Member States by ECHA.

The first is a preparatory meeting scheduled for July 23, 2026. During the meeting, the SACC will consider the scope and clarity of the draft charge questions for the peer review of the draft technical support documents for 1,2-dichloropropane (1,2- DCP), 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCA), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (tDCE), 4,4'-(1-Methylethylidene)bis[2, 6-dibromophenol] (TBBPA), and ethylene dibromide (EDB). The second is the virtual SACC peer review meeting which will be held August 3 through 7, 2026, for the SACC to consider the draft technical support documents for 1,2-DCP, 1,1,2-TCA, tDCE, TBBPA, and EDB, and public comments on those materials.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of and seeking public comment on the draft risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 4,4'- (1-Methylethylidene)bis[2,6-dibromophenol] (TBBPA). The purpose of risk evaluations under TSCA are to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to human 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 is seeking comment on the draft risk evaluation for TBBPA.

EPA is proposing 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 who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a significant new use by this rulemaking to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. 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 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.
