Premanufacture Notification Exemption for Polymers; Amendment of
Polymer Exemption Rule to Exclude Certain Perfluorinated Polymers
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is amending the polymer exemption rule, which provides an
exemption from the premanufacture notification (PMN) requirements of
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), to exclude from eligibility
polymers containing as an integral part of their composition, except as
impurities, certain perfluoroalkyl moieties consisting of a CF3- or
longer chain length. This exclusion includes polymers that contain any
one or more of the following: Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS),
perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFAC), fluorotelomers, or perfluoroalkyl
moieties that are covalently bound to either a carbon or sulfur atom
where the carbon or sulfur atom is an integral part of the polymer
molecule (affected polymers). In general, any person who intends to
manufacture (which is defined by TSCA to include import into the
customs territory of the United States) any of these polymers not
already on the TSCA Inventory (Inventory) must complete the TSCA PMN
review process prior to commencing the manufacture or import of such
polymers. Alternatively, manufacturers or importers may submit a
request for a different exemption, such as the Low Volume Exemption
(LVE) or Low Release and Exposure Exemption (LoREX), for affected
polymers that they reasonably believe may qualify for such exemptions.
Those persons who are currently manufacturing or importing affected
polymers, or who have previously manufactured or imported them but are
not doing so now, in full compliance with the 1995 polymer exemption
rule, may continue manufacturing or importing them until January 27,
2012. After that date, manufacture of these polymers will no longer be
authorized under the polymer exemption rule, and continued manufacture
or import must be authorized under a different TSCA section 5(h)(4)
exemption or under a different TSCA section 5 authority, such as TSCA
section 5(a)(1) or section 5(e). This change is necessary because,
based on current information, EPA can no longer conclude that these
polymers ``will not present an unreasonable risk to human health or the
environment'' under the terms of the polymer exemption rule, which is
the determination necessary to support an exemption under TSCA section
5(h)(4).
DATES: This final rule is effective February 26, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester,
polymer with ethenylbenzene and 2-methylpropyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate;

requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of 2-propenoic acid,
2-ethylhexyl ester, polymer with ethenylbenzene and 2-methylpropyl 2-
methyl-2-propenoate on food or feed commodities.
DATES: This regulation is effective January 27, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before March 29, 2010, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
