Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (26-2)

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation is requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period for the proposed Significant New Use Rules on certain mixed metal oxides. They argue that the complexity of the rules and their significant impact on the battery and electric vehicle supply chain require more time for stakeholders to provide a technically informed and data-driven public record.

The Chemical Users Coalition (CUC), representing various industrial and technology companies, is requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period for the proposed Significant New Use Rules (SNURs). They argue that more time is needed for members to identify all relevant aspects of the rules and to ensure the EPA receives a well-balanced collection of comments.

Natalia Cardona expresses support for the proposed Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) because they provide a necessary safety procedure to protect workers and the environment. She argues that the rule closes potential loopholes and ensures that all companies are held to the same safety standards by requiring EPA evaluation before any significant new use of chemicals occurs.

Ultium Cells, LLC and General Motors LLC are requesting a 30-day extension to the comment period for the proposed SNUR. They argue that the current timeframe is insufficient for stakeholders to review complex new policy documents and to accurately assess the full scope of the rule's economic impacts on the battery supply chain.
