EPA Denies TSCA Section 21 Petition, Intends to Issue SNUR for Burkholderia Cepacia Complex

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has denied a petition from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to ban the manufacture, processing, and distribution of Burkholderia Cepacia Complex, a group of naturally occurring microorganisms that pose a significant threat to individuals with cystic fibrosis and other compromised immune systems. Instead, the EPA plans to issue a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) to regulate the use of Bcc under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
