Methyl Isobutyl Ketone; 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 methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) (CAS No. 108-10-1) be subject to TSCA section 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 MIBK and the issuance of a final rule based on this proposed rule. When the TSCA section 12(b)(1) rule for MIBK becomes effective, all exporters of MIBK, including persons who 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 MIBK.
