In-Depth Information
Phase.1.(started.Fall.2006):
.
a..
Continue.work.with.international.partners.(OECD,.International.Orga-
nization. for. Standardization. [ISO]). to. develop. scientiic. and. research.
capacities.
.
b.. Inform. potential. notiiers. of. their. regulatory. responsibilities. under.
the.current.framework.
.
c..
Develop. initiatives. to. gather. information. from. industry. on. the. uses,.
properties,.and.effects.of.nanomaterials.
.
d..
Consider.whether.amendments.to.CEPA.or.the.New.Substances.Noti-
ication. Regulations. (NSNR). would. be. needed. to. facilitate. the. risk.
assessment.and.management.of.nanomaterials.
Phase.2.(starting.2008):
.
a..
Resolution.of.terminology.and.nomenclature.by.ISO.TC229.
.
b..
Consider. establishing. data. requirements. under. the. NSNR. speciic. to.
nanomaterials.
.
c..
Consider.the.use.of.the.Signiicant.New.Activity.(SNAc).provision.of.
CEPA.to.require.notiication.of.nanoscale.forms.of.substances.already.
on.the.Domestic.Substances.List.(DSL).
