Petition to Add ABS to Superfund Taxes
A petition was filed asking that acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) — described as (C3H3N)a-(C4H6)b-(C8H8)s with a = 0.16, b = 0.10, s = 0.74 — be added to the list of substances taxable under the Superfund program. The Treasury/IRS is asking for public comments on the petition, and this notice is not a decision to change the taxable list. If ABS is added, companies that handle ABS could face new Superfund taxes to help pay for pollution cleanup.
