EPA published a proposed rule on July
29, 2019 to address the 5 PBT chemicals EPA identified pursuant to
TSCA section 6(h) (84 FR 36728). After publication of the proposed
rule, EPA determined to address the 5 PBT chemicals in separate
final actions. This final rule prohibits the distribution in
commerce of 2,4,6-TTBP and products containing 2,4,6-TTBP at
concentrations above 0.3% (i.e., present as a functional additive
instead of as impurity) in any container with a volume of less than
35 gallons for any use, beginning on (5 years after date of FRN
publication), in order to effectively prevent the use of 2,4,6-TTBP
as a fuel additive or fuel injector cleaner by consumers and small
commercial operations (e.g., automotive repair shops, marinas).
This final rule also prohibits the processing and distribution in
commerce of 2,4,6-TTBP, and products containing 2,4,6-TTBP, for use
as an oil or lubricant additive, regardless of container size,
beginning 5 years after date of FRN publication. Beginning 5 years
after FRN publication date, affected persons are required to
maintain, for three years from the date the record is generated,
ordinary business records that demonstrate compliance with these
restrictions.
