Dimethyl Adipate, Dimethyl Glutarate, Dimethyl Succinate; Export Notification Requirements

Under the authority of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) sections 4 and 12(b)(1), EPA is proposing to require that exporters of certain dibasic esters (DBEs) (consisting of dimethyl adipate (CAS No. 627-93-0) (DMA), dimethyl glutarate (CAS No. 1119-40-0) (DMG), and dimethyl succinate (CAS No. 106-65-0) (DMS)), be subject to TSCA 12(b)(1) export notification requirements. These requirements would become effective following publication in the Federal Register of a testing consent order (Order) incorporating an enforceable consent agreement (ECA) that would require health effects testing on DMA, DMG, and DMS and the issuance of a final rule based on this proposed rule. When the TSCA section 12(b)(1) rule for DMA, DMG, and DMS becomes effective, all exporters of DMA, DMG, and DMS, including persons who either have signed or have not signed the ECA, would be required to comply with the export notification regulations under section 12(b)(1) of TSCA with regard to exports of DMA, DMG, and DMS.
