This article provides a summary of recent (2008‐2009) regulatory
efforts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic
Substances Control Act concerning nanoscale materials. These efforts
include entering into two consent orders with a manufacturer of carbon
nanotubes; issuing four significant new use rules for two
siloxane‐based nanoparticles and two carbon nanotubes (and then
withdrawing the latter two); intimating that new testing and data
collection rules will be implemented for certain nanoscale materials;
and proposing and/or requiring acute toxicity rat inhalation testing
regimes in certain instances. The authors explain these developments in
detail and then provide some initial strategic and legal considerations
for businesses attempting to navigate this emerging regulatory thicket.
