40 CFR 721.12149: Metal oxide chloride (generic).

(a) Chemical substance and significant new uses subject to reporting. (1) The chemical substance identified generically as metal oxide chloride (PMN P-22-2; Accession No. 303436) is subject to reporting under this section for the significant new uses described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. The requirements of this section do not apply to quantities of the substance after they have been completely reacted or destroyed.

(2) The significant new uses are:

(i) Protection in the workplace. Requirements as specified in § 721.63(a)(1), (3) through (6), and (c). When determining which persons are reasonably likely to be exposed as required for § 721.63(a)(1) and (4), engineering control measures (e.g., enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation) or administrative control measures (e.g., workplace policies and procedures) shall be considered and implemented to prevent exposure, where feasible. For purposes of § 721.63(a)(5), respirators must provide a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) assigned protection factor (APF) of at least 1,000 when the chemical substance is handled as a solid, and an APF of at least 50 when the chemical substance is handled as a liquid.

(ii) Hazard communication. Requirements as specified in § 721.72(a) through (d), (f), and (g)(1), and (5). For purposes of § 721.72(g)(1), this substance may cause: skin corrosion, serious eye damage, carcinogenicity, specific target organ toxicity, and reproductive toxicity. Alternative hazard and warning statements that meet the criteria of the Globally Harmonized System and OSHA Hazard Communication Standard may be used.

(iii) Industrial, commercial, and consumer activities. Requirements as specified in § 721.80(k) and (t). It is a significant new use to manufacture or process the substance other than in a sealed, inert atmosphere environment of a sealed drybox wherever feasible. For activities performed outside of the drybox that may generate dust or any exhaust to air, all streams must be treated with caustic water control technology with a minimum of 90% destruction efficiency.

(b) Specific requirements. The provisions of subpart A of this part apply to this section except as modified by this paragraph (b).

(1) Recordkeeping. Recordkeeping requirements as specified in § 721.125(a) through (i) are applicable to manufacturers, importers, and processors of this substance.

(2) Limitation or revocation of certain notification requirements. The provisions of § 721.185 apply to this section.
