ARTBA and its coalition partners submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urging the agency to withdraw and reconsider its advance notice of proposed rulemaking on 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone. The letter emphasizes the need for more time and stakeholder engagement before moving forward. The comments highlight:

  • EPA should withdraw the ANPRM to allow the new administration to reassess the issue and consult with affected industries.

  • A broad range of industries could be impacted, requiring careful evaluation of economic and supply chain effects.

  • Users of products containing 6PPD should not be treated as manufacturers under TSCA.

  • EPA should better understand downstream uses, exposure pathways, and risk mitigation options before proposing action.

  • Any future rule should be based on sound science, transparency, and robust stakeholder input.
