Subchapter B—Copyright Claims Board, 
Library of Congress 
PART 221—REGISTRATION 
Sec. 
221.1 Registration requirement. 221.2 Small claims expedited registration. 
Authority: 17 U.S.C. 702, 1510. 
§ 221.1 Registration requirement. 
(a) A claim or counterclaim alleging 
infringement of an exclusive right in a copyrighted work may not be asserted before the Copyright Claims Board unless the legal or beneficial owner of the copyright has first delivered a completed application, a deposit, and the required fee for registration of the copyright to the Copyright Office and a registration certificate has either been issued or has not been refused. 
(b) For a work that has not yet been 
registered, a claimant or counterclaimant who has a pending application to register the work must 
indicate on its claim or counterclaim notice that the work is pending registration and must include the work’s service request (SR) number that was assigned to the copyright registration claim. If the proceeding cannot continue because of a pending registration, the Copyright Claims Board shall hold proceedings in abeyance until the claimant or counterclaimant provides the Copyright Claims Board with the certificate of registration or the registration number on the certificate of registration or certificate preview. The proceeding shall be dismissed without prejudice if the Copyright Claims Board is notified that the registration application was rejected. If the proceeding has been held in abeyance for more than one year, the Copyright Claims Board may dismiss the claim or counterclaim without prejudice after providing thirty days written notice to all parties to the proceeding. 
§ 221.2 Small claims expedited 
registration. 
(a) Eligibility. A claimant or 
counterclaimant alleging infringement 
of an exclusive right in a copyrighted work before the Copyright Claims Board is eligible to expedite a copyright registration application under this section. This process shall be known as small claims expedited registration. 
(b) Initiating small claims expedited 
registration. The small claims expedited 
registration process can only be initiated after the claimant or counterclaimant has completed an application for copyright registration and the proceeding has become active. To initiate the small claims expedited registration process, the qualifying claimant or counterclaimant must make 
a request and pay the required fee as directed by the Copyright Claims Board. Parties should request small claims expedited registration once the proceeding has become active. Parties must not attempt to initiate small claims expedited registration by using the Copyright Office’s electronic registration system (eCO). 
(c) Fee—(1) Amount. The small claims 
expedited registration fee for each request must be made for the appropriate amount, as prescribed in § 201.3(c). The fee for small claims expedited registration is intended to accelerate the registration process for a qualifying Copyright Claims Board claimant or counterclaimant that already has a pending registration application; it is in addition to, and does not offset, the fee for copyright registration. 
(2) Method of payment. (i) The fee for 
small claims expedited registration must be submitted electronically to the Copyright Claims Board and not through 
the Copyright Office’s electronic registration system (eCO). 
(ii) A claimant or counterclaimant 
shall follow instructions on the Copyright Office website to make electronic payments by Pay.gov. Applicants may not use a deposit account to make payments for small claims expedited registration. 
(3) No refunds. The small claims 
expedited registration fee is not refundable, unless the small claims expedited registration request is denied under paragraph (d) of this section. 
(d) Denied requests. If the applicant 
failed to pay the required fee or if the Copyright Office determines that expedited registration under this section would be unduly burdensome based on the Office’s workload or budget at the time the request is made, the Office will notify the applicant that the request has been denied and that the copyright registration claim will be examined on a regular basis. 
(e) Granted requests. If the request for 
expedited registration under this section is granted, the Office will make every attempt to examine the application or the document within ten business days after notice of the request is delivered by the Copyright Claims Board to the Copyright Office’s Office of Registration Policy and Practice, although the Copyright Office cannot guarantee that all applications or all documents will be registered or recorded within that timeframe. 
(f) Identical registration standards. 
The Copyright Office will apply the same practices and procedures when examining a copyright registration claim, regardless of whether the applicant asks for small claims expedited registration.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 
Chemical Substances (19–2.F) 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is issuing significant new 
use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule. This action further requires that persons not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), and EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken any risk management actions as are required as a result of that determination. 
DATES : This rule is effective on October 
18, 2021. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on September 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. General Information 
A. Does this action apply to me? 
You may be potentially affected by 
this action if you manufacture, process, 
or use the chemical substances contained in this rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: 
•Manufacturers or processors of one 
or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 
This action may also affect certain 
entities through pre-existing import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import provisions. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is the subject of this rule are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)), and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.

II. Background 
A. What action is the Agency taking? 
EPA is finalizing SNURs under TSCA 
section 5(a)(2) for chemical substances 
which were the subject of PMNs P–16– 400, P–17–119, P–17–191, P–17–220, P– 17–387, P–17–388, P–18–7, P–18–8, P– 18–77, P–18–85, P–18–101, P–18–107, P–18–118, P–18–119, P–18–152, P–18– 169, P–18–238, P–18–307, P–18–312, P– 19–8, P–19–9, P–19–26, P–19–27, and P–19–45. These SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. 
Previously, in the Federal Register of 
August 6, 2019 (84 FR 38159) (FRL– 9996–62), EPA proposed SNURs for the chemical substances being finalized in this Federal Register document, in 
addition to proposing SNURs for other chemical substances, which will be addressed in a subsequent Federal Register document. More information 
on the specific chemical substances subject to this final rule can be found in the Federal Register document 
proposing the SNURs. The docket includes information considered by the Agency in developing the proposed and final rules, including the public comments received on the proposed rules that are described in Unit IV. 
B. What is the Agency’s authority for 
taking this action? 
TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 
2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all relevant factors, including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. 
C. Do the SNUR general provisions 
apply? 
General provisions for SNURs appear 
in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These provisions describe persons subject to the rule, recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the same SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In particular, these requirements include the information submission requirements of TSCA sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA sections 5(h)(1), 5(h)(2), 5(h)(3), and 5(h)(5) and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury or take such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination before manufacture or processing for the significant new use can commence. If EPA determines that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and submit for publication in the Federal Register, a statement of 
EPA’s findings. 
III. Significant New Use Determination A. Determination Factors 
TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA’s 
determination that a use of a chemical 
substance is a significant new use must be made after consideration of all relevant factors, including: 
•The projected volume of 
manufacturing and processing of a chemical substance. 
•The extent to which a use changes 
the type or form of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance. 
•The extent to which a use increases 
the magnitude and duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance. 
•The reasonably anticipated manner 
and methods of manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a chemical substance. 
In determining what would constitute 
a significant new use for the chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances and potential human exposures and environmental releases that may be associated with the substances, in the context of the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit. 
During its review of the chemical 
substances that are the subjects of these SNURs and as further discussed in Unit VI., EPA identified potential risk concerns associated with other circumstances of use that, while not intended or reasonably foreseen, may occur in the future. EPA is designating those other circumstances of use as significant new uses. 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:01 Aug 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\18AUR1.SGM 18AUR1jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES46125 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 
B. Procedures for Significant New Uses 
Claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
By this rule, EPA is establishing 
certain significant new uses which have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. Absent a final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is required to keep this information confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, at 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1) and has referenced it to apply to other SNURs. 
Under these procedures a 
manufacturer or processor may request EPA to determine whether a specific use would be a significant new use under the rule. The manufacturer or processor must show that it has a bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance and must identify the specific use for which it intends to manufacture or process the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that the person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture 
or process the chemical substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the bona fide submission would be a significant new use under the rule. Since most of the chemical identities of the chemical substances subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can combine the bona fide submission 
under the procedure in 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1) with that under 40 CFR 721.11 into a single step. 
If EPA determines that the use 
identified in the bona fide submission would not be a significant new use, i.e., the use does not meet the criteria specified in the rule for a significant new use, that person can manufacture or process the chemical substance so long as the significant new use trigger is not met. In the case of a production volume trigger, this means that the aggregate annual production volume does not exceed that identified in the bona fide submission to EPA. Because of confidentiality concerns, EPA does not typically disclose the actual production volume that constitutes the use trigger. Thus, if the person later intends to exceed that volume, a new bona fide submission would be necessary to determine whether that higher volume would be a significant new use. 
IV. Public Comments 
EPA received public comments from 
three identifying entities on the 
proposed rule. The Agency’s responses are presented in the Response to Public Comments document that is available in 
the docket for this rule. EPA made changes to two of the proposed rules based on these comments, as described in the response to comments. 
V. Substances Subject to This Rule 
EPA is establishing significant new 
use and recordkeeping requirements for 
chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In Unit IV. of the proposed SNUR, EPA provided the following information for each chemical substance: 
•PMN number. 
•Chemical name (generic name, if 
the specific name is claimed as CBI). 
•Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 
Registry number (if assigned for non- 
confidential chemical identities). 
•Basis for the SNUR. 
•Potentially useful information. 
•CFR citation assigned in the 
regulatory text section of this final rule. 
The regulatory text section of these 
rules specifies the activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including production volume limits and other uses designated in the rules, may be claimed as CBI. 
VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule A. Rationale 
The chemical substances that are the 
subjects of these SNURs received ‘‘not 
likely to present an unreasonable risk’’ determinations under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) based on EPA’s review of the intended, known, and reasonably foreseen conditions of use. However, EPA has identified other circumstances that, should they occur in the future, even if not reasonably foreseen, may present risk concerns. Specifically, EPA has determined that deviations from the protective measures identified in the PMN submissions could result in changes in the type or form of exposure to the chemical substances, increased exposures to the chemical substances, and/or changes in the reasonably anticipated manner and methods of manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of the chemical substances. These SNURs identify as a significant new use manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the protective measures identified in the submissions. As a result, those significant new uses cannot occur without first going through a separate, subsequent EPA review and determination process associated with a SNUN. 
B. Objectives 
EPA is issuing these SNURs because 
the Agency wants: •To have an opportunity to review 
and evaluate data submitted in a SNUN 
before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant new use. 
•To be obligated to make a 
determination under TSCA section 5(a)(3) regarding the use described in the SNUN, under the conditions of use. The Agency will either determine under section 5(a)(3)(C) that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, including an unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant by the Administrator under the conditions of use, or make a determination under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(A) or (B) and take the required regulatory action associated with the determination, before manufacture or processing for the significant new use of the chemical substance can occur. 
•To be able to complete its review 
and determination on each of the PMN substances, while deferring analysis on the significant new uses proposed in these rules unless and until the Agency receives a SNUN. 
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 
substance does not signify that the 
chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory. Guidance on how to determine if a chemical substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at https://www.epa.gov/tsca- inventory. 
VII. Applicability of the Rules to Uses 
Occurring Before the Effective Date of the Final Rule 
To establish a significant new use, 
EPA must determine that the use is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not received a notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has not been added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such activities without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical substances for which an NOC has not been submitted, EPA concludes that the designated significant new uses are not ongoing. 
When the chemical substances 
identified in this rule are added to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified as a significant new use. However, the identities of many of the chemical substances subject to this rule have been claimed as confidential (per 40 CFR 720.85). Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:01 Aug 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\18AUR1.SGM 18AUR1jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES46126 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 
unlikely that any of the significant new 
uses described in the regulatory text of this rule are ongoing. 
EPA designated August 6, 2019 (the 
date of FR publication of the proposed rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA’s approach is to ensure that a person cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use before the effective date of the final rule. 
Persons who began commercial 
manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use identified on or after that date will have to cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons would have to first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and EPA would have to take action under section 5 allowing manufacture or processing to proceed. 
VIII. Development and Submission of 
Information 
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 
does not require development of any particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, Order or consent agreement under 
TSCA section 4, then TSCA section 5(b)(1)(A) requires such information to be submitted to EPA at the time of submission of the SNUN. 
In the absence of a rule, Order, or 
consent agreement under TSCA section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required only to submit information in their possession or control and to describe any other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. of the proposed rule lists potentially useful information for all SNURs listed here. Descriptions are provided for informational purposes. The potentially useful information identified in Unit IV. of the proposed rule will be useful to EPA’s evaluation in the event that someone submits a SNUN for the significant new use. Companies who are considering submitting a SNUN are encouraged, but not required, to develop the information on the substance, which may assist with EPA’s analysis of the SNUN. 
EPA strongly encourages persons, 
before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol election. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation 
with the Agency on the use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h). For more information on alternative test methods and strategies to reduce vertebrate animal testing, visit https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and- managing-chemicals-under-tsca/ alternative-test-methods-and-strategies- reduce. 
The potentially useful information 
described in Unit IV. of the proposed rule may not be the only means of providing information to evaluate the chemical substance associated with the significant new uses. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA sections 5(e) or 5(f). EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be able to conduct the appropriate tests. 
SNUN submitters should be aware 
that EPA will be better able to evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following: 
•Human exposure and 
environmental release that may result from the significant new use of the chemical substances. 
IX. SNUN Submissions 
According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons 
submitting a SNUN must comply with 
the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated using e-PMN software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 and 721.25. E–PMN software is available electronically at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals- under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca. 
X. Economic Analysis 
EPA has evaluated the potential costs 
of establishing SNUN requirements for 
potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical substances subject to this rule. EPA’s complete economic analysis is available in the docket for 
this rulemaking. XI. Statutory and Executive Order 
Reviews 
Additional information about these 
statutes and executive orders can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws- regulations-and-executive-orders. 
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 
Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review 
This action establishes SNURs for 
new chemical substances that were the subject of PMNs. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). 
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
According to PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq., an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to a collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. 
The information collection 
requirements related to this action have already been approved by OMB pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 2070–0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This action does not impose any burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average between 30 and 170 hours 
per response. This burden estimate includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit the required SNUN. 
Send any comments about the 
accuracy of the burden estimate, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director, Regulatory Support Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460–0001. Please remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but do not submit any completed forms to this address. 
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 
Pursuant to RFA section 605(b), 5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq., I hereby certify that 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:01 Aug 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\18AUR1.SGM 18AUR1jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES46127 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 
promulgation of this SNUR would not 
have a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any person (including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any activity described in the final rule as a ‘‘significant new use.’’ Because these uses are ‘‘new,’’ based on all information currently available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities presently engage in such activities. A SNUR requires that any person who intends to engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by submitting a SNUN. Although some small entities may decide to pursue a significant new use in the future, EPA cannot presently determine how many, if any, there may be. However, EPA’s experience to date is that, in response to the promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in FY2015, 12 in FY2016, 13 in FY2017, and 11 in FY2018. Only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying with this SNUR are not expected to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of small entities. In a SNUR that published in the Federal Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) 
(FRL–5597–1), the Agency presented its general determination that final SNURs are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, which was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. 
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
(UMRA) 
Based on EPA’s experience with 
proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this action. As such, EPA has determined that this action does not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). 
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 
This action will not have federalism 
implications because it is not expected 
to have a substantial direct effect on States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). 
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 
and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments 
This action will not have Tribal 
implications because it is not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes, significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian Tribal governments, and does not involve or impose any requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this action. 
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 
Children From Environmental Health and Safety Risks 
This action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, and this action does not address environmental health or safety risks disproportionately affecting children. 
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use 
This action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because this action is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. 
I. National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act (NTTAA) 
In addition, since this action does not 
involve any technical standards, NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not apply to this action. 
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 
Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations 
This action does not entail special 
considerations of environmental justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 
This action is subject to the CRA, 5 
U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA will submit a rule report containing this rule and other required information to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 
Chemical Substances 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is issuing significant new 
use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). The SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA’s evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required by that determination. 
DATES : This rule is effective on October 
18, 2021. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on September 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : I. General Information 
A. Does this action apply to me? 
You may be potentially affected by 
this action if you manufacture, process, 
or use the chemical substances contained in this rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: 
•Manufacturers or processors of one 
or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 
This action may also affect certain 
entities through pre-existing import certification and export notification 
rules under TSCA. Chemical importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import provisions promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR 127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of the chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and Orders under TSCA, which would include the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is the subject of this rule are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.
