Are there any exemptions under TSCA for catalysts?
Yes, certain exemptions exist under TSCA that can be relevant to catalysis. For instance, the Low Volume Exemption (LVE) allows for the manufacture or import of chemicals in quantities below 10,000 kilograms per year without going through the full PMN process. Similarly, the Test Market Exemption (TME) permits limited production or import for the purposes of market testing. These exemptions can facilitate the development and testing of new catalysts by reducing regulatory burdens.
