The two chemical substances are identified generically as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (PMN P–08–177) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) (PMN P–08–328).
This action requires persons who intend to manufacture, import, or process either of these two chemical
substances for a use that is designated as a significant new use by this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity.This final rule is effective October 18, 2010.
