§ 721.10921 2-Furancarboxyaldehyde, 5-(chloromethyl)-.

(a) Chemical substance and significant new uses subject to reporting. (1) The chemical substance identified as 2-furancarboxyaldehyde, 5-(chloromethyl)- (PMN P-15-573; CAS No. 1623-88-7) is subject to reporting under this section for the significant new uses described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

(2) The significant new uses are:

(i) Protection in the workplace. Requirements as specified in § 721.63(a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(6)(v), and (c). When determining which persons are reasonably likely to be exposed as required for § 721.63(a)(4), engineering control measures (e.g., enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation) or administrative control measures (e.g., workplace policies and procedures) shall be considered and implemented to prevent exposure, where feasible. The following National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified respirators with an assigned protection factor (APF) of at least 50 meet the requirements of § 721.63(a)(4):

(A) NIOSH-certified powered air-purifying respirator with a tight-fitting half mask and HEPA filters.

(B) NIOSH-certified continuous flow supplied-air respirator equipped with a tight-fitting half mask.

(ii) Industrial commercial, and consumer activities. Requirements as specified in § 721.80(g) (chemical intermediate use in a continuous reaction process such that no greater than 50 kilograms is present in the workplace at a given time) and (s)(15,000 kilograms).

(b) Specific requirements. The provisions of subpart A of this part apply to this section except as modified by this paragraph.

(1) Recordkeeping. Recordkeeping requirements as specified in § 721.125(a) through (e) and (i) are applicable to manufacturers and processors of this substance.
