the Toxic Substances Control Act TSCA to address its obligations under TSCA for phenol, isopropylated phosphate 3:1 PIP 3:1 CASRN
68937417, which EPA has determined meets the requirements for expedited action under TSCA. This final rule prohibits the processing and distribution of PIP 3:1 and PIP 3:1containing products, with specified exclusions, and prohibits the release of PIP 3:1 to water during manufacturing, processing, and distribution. This final rule also requires commercial users to follow existing regulations and best practices to prevent the release to water of PIP 3:1 and products containing PIP
3:1 during use. These requirements will result in lower amounts of PIP 3:1
being manufactured, processed, distributed in commerce, used and disposed, thereby reducing exposures to humans and the environment.
DATES: This final rule is effective February 5, 2021. For purposes of judicial review and 40 CFR 23.5, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m.
eastern standard time on January 21, 2021.
