Stewardship Program On

Track

 August 8, 2012 -- EPA

signed a Significant New Use

Rule (SNUR) (PDF) (47 p., 266 kb.)

About PDF) under the Toxic

Substances Control Act (TSCA)

to:

Require companies to report

90 days in advance of all

new uses of long-chain

perfluoroalkyl carboxylic

(LCPFAC) chemicals as part

of carpets or to treat

carpets, including the import

of new carpet containing

LCPFACs.

Add seven perfluoroalkyl

sulfonate (PFAS) chemicals

to the existing PFAS SNUR

(40 CFR 721.9582), and

amend that SNUR to include

"processing" in the definition

of significant new use for

PFAS chemicals.

February 8, 2012 -- Eight

companies participating in the

2010/15 PFOA Stewardship

Program are on track to meet

their commitment to phase out

use of long-chain perfluorinated

chemicals (LCPFCs) by the end of

2015. View the fifth annual

progress reports from the eight

companies.

In 2006, former Administrator Stephen L. Johnson invited the

eight major fluoropolymer and telomer manufacturers to join in a

global stewardship program with two goals:

To commit to achieve, no later than 2010, a 95%

reduction, measured from a year 2000 baseline, in both

facility emissions to all media of PFOA, precursor

chemicals that can break down to PFOA, and related

higher homologue chemicals, and product content levels

of these chemicals.

To commit to working toward the elimination of these

chemicals from emissions and products by 2015.

Participating companies include: 

Arkema

Asahi

BASF Corporation (successor to Ciba)

Clariant

Daikin

3M/Dyneon

DuPont

Solvay Solexis

Participating companies:

Submitted baseline year 2000 data on emissions and

product content at the end of October 2006.

Report annual progress toward goals each succeeding October and report progress in

terms of both U.S. and global operations.

Companies also agreed to work cooperatively with EPA and establish scientifically credible

analytical standards and laboratory methods to ensure comparability of reporting.
