These rules aim to stop health risks during manufacturing, use, and disposal, with a fair transition time before they kick in. Businesses involved with PV29 should get ready to follow these changes and can share their thoughts by February 28, 2025. ## Abstract The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to address the unreasonable risk of injury to human health presented by C.I. Pigment Violet 29 (CASRN 81-33-4, also known as PV29), under its conditions of use as documented in EPA's January 2021 Risk Evaluation for PV29 and the September 2022 Revised Risk Determination for PV29 prepared under TSCA. TSCA requires that EPA address by rule any unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment identified in a TSCA risk evaluation and apply requirements to the extent necessary so the chemical no longer presents unreasonable risk. To address the identified unreasonable risk, EPA is proposing requirements to protect workers from the unreasonable risk of PV29 during manufacturing and processing, certain industrial and commercial uses of the chemical, and disposal, while also allowing for a reasonable transition period prior to enforcement of said requirements. ## Effects PRIA read - Mandatory APF 50 Respirators and Cleaning: benefit, medium. If dry powder PV29 is present, the EPA is proposing that workers must use assigned protection factor (APF) 50 respirators and require area cleaning where dry powder PV29 is expected to be present. These requirements apply to activities including domestic manufacture, import, incorporation into pain… - Downstream Notification and Recordkeeping: cost, low. The proposal would require manufacturers (including importers), processors, and distributors of regulated (dry powder) PV29 to provide downstream notification of the rule's requirements and to keep specified records. EPA says these duties include labeling/downstream notices and record retention tie… - Estimated Costs, Benefits, and Firms Affected: mixed, low. EPA estimates annualized incremental costs of the proposed rule at about $1.6 million to $1.7 million per year (15-year, 2% discount). EPA estimates 22 firms (22 sites) may manufacture/import/process/use regulated dry powder PV29, that about five small entities would be subject to requirements, and… - Dry Powder Only — Encapsulated Uses Not Covered: benefit, medium. EPA clarifies that the identified unreasonable risk is due to inhalation of dry powder PV29 and not PV29 already incorporated into liquid mixtures (for example, wet paint or ink) or encapsulated in plastics where particles are not bioavailable. EPA also identifies four conditions of use that do not… - Transition Period Before Enforcement: benefit, low. EPA states the proposed rule would allow a reasonable transition period prior to enforcement so regulated entities have time to comply with requirements such as respirator programs, area cleaning, labeling/notification, and recordkeeping. EPA also notes it may modify implementation timelines based… ## Related documents - [2026-20735](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20735): Extensions of Credit to Insiders, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20790](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20790): Application of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to the Refunded Portion of Certain Federal Refun…, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20721](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20721): Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods: Enforcement Policy for Certain Retail Food Establishments and Restauran…, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20650](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20650): Low-Value Shipments, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20660](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20660): Optional Practical Training Fees, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20677](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20677): Airworthiness Directives; Various Helicopters, 2026-10-08 ## Sources - [2024-30931 on federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/14/2024-30931/ci-pigment-violet-29-pv29-regulation-under-the-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca) - [2024-30931 as published (PDF)](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-14/pdf/2024-30931.pdf) ## Related - [Previous: 2025-00376, Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act: Civil Money Penalties Procedure…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2025-00376) - [Next: 2024-31373, Source of Income From Cloud Transactions](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2024-31373) - [All Federal Register documents](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2024-30931 (as of 2026-06-11).
