The requirements of this section do not apply to quantities of the substance that have been incorporated into a polymer matrix.(2) The significant new uses are: (i)Protection in the workplace. Requirements as specified in § 721.63(a)(1), (3), (4), and (6) (particulate). The following National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified respirators with an APF of at least 1000 meet the requirements of § 721.63(a)(4) : (A) Any NIOSH-certified powered air purifying full facepiece respirator equipped with appropriate gas/vapor (acid gas, organic vapor, or substance specific) cartridges.(B) Any NIOSH-certified continuous flow supplied-air respirator equipped with a full facepiece.(C) Any NIOSH-certified pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode supplied-air respirator equipped with a full facepiece.(D) Any NIOSH-certified continuous flow supplied-air respirator equipped with a full facepiece.(E) Any NIOSH-certified pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode supplied-air respirator equipped with a full facepiece.(1) As an alternative to the respiratory requirements listed here, a manufacturer or processor may choose to follow the New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) provisions listed in the TSCA section 5(e) consent order for this substance. The NCEL is 0.3 mg/m3 as an 8-hour time weighted average verified by actual monitoring data.(ii)Hazard communication. Requirements as specified in § 721.72(a) through (e) (concentration set at 0.1 percent), (f), (g)(1) (lung effects), (g)(1)(vii), (g)(2)(ii), (iii), and (iv), (g)(3)(ii), (g)(4)(i) and (iii), and (g)(5).(iii)Industrial, commercial, and consumer activities. Requirements as specified in § 721.80(q) . It is a significant new use to use the PMN substance other than as a component of infrared absorption material. It is a significant new use for any application method that generates a dust, mist, or aerosol, unless such application method occurs in an enclosed process.(iv)Disposal. Requirements as specified in § 721.85(a)(1) and (2), (b)(1) and (2), and (c)(1) and (2) .(v)Releases to water.
