ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under

chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs). One of these chemical substances is subject to a TSCA section

intend to manufacture, import, or process any of these 25 chemical
substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use
by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the
opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit
or limit that activity before it occurs.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 19, 2010. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on
