Abstract
This document announces EPA's decision to revoke the Multi- Substance Rule for the Testing of Neurotoxicity, that required manufacturers and processors of acetone (CAS No. 67-64-1), technical grade n-amyl acetate (CAS No. 628-63-7), 1-butanol (CAS No. 71-36-3), n-butyl acetate (CAS No. 123-86-4), diethyl ether (CAS No. 60-29-7), 2- ethoxyethanol (CAS No. 110-80-5), ethyl acetate (CAS No. 141-78-6), isobutyl alcohol (CAS No. 78-83-1), methyl isobutyl ketone (CAS No. 108-10-1), and tetrahydrofuran (CAS No. 109-99-9) to conduct testing for neurotoxicity. EPA is revoking this rule as part of a settlement agreement reached with the manufacturers of these chemicals, who have agreed to perform certain neurotoxicity and in vivo hydrolysis testing of 7 of the 10 chemicals under enforceable consent agreements (``ECAs'').
