SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. General Information 
A. Does this action apply to me? 
This action is directed to the public 
in general and may be of interest to 
entities that manufacture (including 
import) a chemical substance regulated under TSCA (e.g., entities identified 
under North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 and 324110). The action may also be of interest to chemical processors, distributors in commerce, and users; non-governmental organizations in the environmental and public health sectors; state and local government agencies; and members of the public. Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities and corresponding NAICS codes for entities that may be interested in or affected by this action. 
B. What is the Agency’s authority for 
taking this action? 
This action directly implements 
TSCA section 6(b)(4)(D), 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(D). C. What action is the Agency taking? 
EPA is publishing the draft scopes of 
the risk evaluations for 7 of 20 chemical 
substances designated as High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation under TSCA. Through the risk evaluation process, EPA will determine whether the chemical substances present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the conditions of use, in accordance with TSCA section 6(b)(4). EPA announced the availability of the draft scopes of the risk evaluations for 13 of 20 chemical substances designated as High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation under TSCA on April 6, 2020 (Ref. 1). 
II. Background 
TSCA section 6(b)(1) requires EPA to 
prioritize chemical substances for risk 
evaluation (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(1)). Effective December 20, 2019, EPA designated 20 chemical substances as High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation (Ref. 2), which initiated the risk evaluation process for those chemical substances (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(3)(A); 40 CFR 702.17). The purpose of risk evaluation is to determine whether a chemical 
substance presents an unreasonable risk to health or the environment, under the 
conditions of use, including an unreasonable risk to a relevant 
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(A)). As part of this process, EPA must evaluate both hazard and exposure, exclude consideration of costs or other non-risk factors, use scientific information and approaches in a manner that is consistent with the requirements in TSCA for the best available science, and ensure decisions are based on the weight-of-scientific- evidence (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)). This process will culminate in a determination of whether or not the chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the conditions of use (40 CFR 702.47). 
III. Draft Scopes for 7 of 20 Designated 
High Priority Chemical Substances 
The 7 chemical substances for which 
EPA is publishing the draft scopes of the risk evaluations are identified in the following Table, along with the corresponding Chemical Abstract System Registry Number (CASRN) and docket ID numbers. 
TABLE—D RAFT SCOPES FOR 7 OF20 D ESIGNATED HIGHPRIORITY CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES

Phthalic anhydride (1,3-Isobenzofurandione) ................................................................................ 85–4 4–9 EPA–HQ–OPPT–2018–0459 
The draft scope of the risk evaluation 
for each of these 7 chemical substances includes the conditions of use, hazards, exposures, and the potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations the EPA plans to consider. Development of the scope is the first step of a risk evaluation. The draft scope of each risk evaluation will include the following 
components (40 CFR 702.41(c)): 
•The conditions of use, as 
determined by the Administrator, that the EPA plans to consider in the risk evaluation. 
•The potentially exposed 
populations that EPA plans to evaluate; the ecological receptors that EPA plans to evaluate; and the hazards to health and the environment that EPA plans to evaluate. 
•A description of the reasonably 
available information and the science approaches that the Agency plans to 
use. 
•A conceptual model that will 
describe the actual or predicted 
relationships between the chemical substance, the conditions of use within the scope of the evaluation and the receptors, either human or environmental, with consideration of the life cycle of the chemical substance—from manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, storage, use, to release or disposal—and identification of human and ecological health hazards EPA plans to evaluate for the exposure scenarios EPA plans to evaluate. 
•An analysis plan, which will 
identify the approaches and methods EPA plans to use to assess exposure, hazards, and risk, including associated uncertainty and variability, as well as a strategy for using reasonably available 
information and science approaches. 
•A plan for peer review. 
With the publication of the draft 
scopes, EPA is providing a 45-calendar day public comment period. Note that, as a result of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families v. U.S. EPA, 943 F.3d 
397, 425 (9th Cir. 2019), EPA will no longer exclude legacy uses or associated disposal from the definition of ‘‘conditions of use.’’ Rather, when these activities are intended, known, or reasonably foreseen, these activities will be considered uses and disposal, respectively, within the definition of ‘‘conditions of use.’’ 
EPA encourages commenters to 
provide information they believe might be missing or may further inform the risk evaluation. EPA will publish a notice in the Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Additional Information About the Proposed Permit Modifications 
On April 4, 2016, EPA issued a final 
NPDES general permit for discharges of stormwater from small MS4s in Massachusetts (the MA MS4 Permit) under CWA section 402(p). 33 U.S.C. 1342(p). On July 18, 2016, CRR filed a petition for review of the permit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. CLF, CRWA, MCWRS, Franklin, NAHB, HBRAMA, and the City of Lowell also filed petitions for review of the permit, all of which were consolidated with CRR’s petition in the D.C. Circuit. Center for Regulatory Reasonableness, et al. v. EPA, No. 16– 
1246 (DC Cir.) (2016 Massachusetts Small MS4 General Permit consolidated cases). On January 18, 2017, EPA issued a final NPDES general permit for discharges of stormwater from small MS4s in New Hampshire (the NH MS4 Permit). On February 1, 2017, CLF filed a petition for review of the permit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. CRR, NAHB, and NHHBA later filed petitions for review in the D.C. Circuit. The First Circuit then transferred the CLF petition to the D.C. Circuit, where the D.C. Circuit consolidated it with the CRR, NAHB, and NHHBA petitions. Center for Regulatory Reasonableness et. al v. EPA, 
Conservation Law Foundation, Intervenor No. 17–1060 (DC Cir.) (2017 
New Hampshire Small MS4 General Permit consolidated cases). The parties to both cases entered into mediation in 2017, and the D.C. Circuit has held the cases in abeyance. On December 27, 2019, EPA published three proposed settlement agreements in the Federal Register for a 30-day public comment 
period. See ‘‘Proposed Settlement 
Agreements, Clean Water Act Claims,’’ 84 FR 71407 (Dec. 27, 2019). EPA’s planned proposed permit modifications to the Massachusetts and New Hampshire permits and statements of basis describing those proposed modifications were attached as Exhibits A and B to the Massachusetts and New Hampshire proposed settlement agreements. EPA and the petitioners executed the settlement agreements on April 15, 2020. The first two settlement
