In January 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) published five final rules in the federal register (86 FR 866-932) to regulate five persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals under Section 6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

These PBT chemicals are:

2,4,6-Tris(tert-butyl)phenol (2,4,6-TTBP, CAS 732-26-3) – an antioxidant in fuel additives and fuel injector cleaners as well as an additive in oil and lubricants

Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE, CAS 1163-19-5) – a flame retardant with applications in wire and cable rubber casings, textiles, electronic equipment casings, building and construction materials, and imported articles such as aerospace and automotive parts

Phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1) (PIP 3:1, CAS 68937-41-7) – a flame retardant in plastics and as a functional fluid in aircraft and industrial machinery

Pentachlorothiophenol (PCTP, CAS 133-49-3) – a substance with applications in the rubber industry

Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD, CAS 87-68-3) – a solvent in rubber manufacturing and in hydraulic, heat transfer or transformer fluid
These final rules amend Subpart E – Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals to 40 CFR 751 on Regulations of Certain Chemical Substances and Mixtures Under Section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (40 CFR 751). The latest revisions contain provisions relating to, among other things, restrictions, prohibitions, record keeping, phase-in prohibitions for specific uses of DecaBDE and DecaBDE-containing products or articles, phase-in prohibitions for specific uses of PIP (3:1) and PIP (3:1)-containing products and articles, exemptions as well as downstream notifications for safety data sheets (SDSs) or on the label of PIP (3:1) and PIP (3:1)-containing products.
