Significant New Use Rules on Certain 
Chemical Substances 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Direct final rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is promulgating 
significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 55 chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). Ten of these chemical substances are subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these 55 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 will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs. 
DATES : This rule is effective on July 15, 
2016. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on May 31, 2016. 
Written adverse or critical comments, 
or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these SNURs must be received on or before June 15, 2016 (see Unit VI. of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ). If EPA 
receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these SNURs before June 15, 2016, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of this direct final rule before its effective date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. General Information 
A. Does this action apply to me? 
You may be potentially affected by 
this action if you manufacture (defined 
by statute to include import), 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 certification requirements 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. Importers of chemicals subject to these SNURs must certify their compliance with 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 a proposed or final rule are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see § 721.20), and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. 
B. What should I consider as I prepare 
my comments for EPA? 
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 
information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 
2. Tips for preparing your comments. 
When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html. 
II. Background A. What action is the Agency taking? 
EPA is promulgating these SNURs 
using direct final procedures. These 
SNURs will require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical substance for any activity designated by these SNURs as a significant new use. Receipt of such notices allows EPA to assess risks that may be presented by the intended uses and, if appropriate, to regulate the proposed use before it occurs. Additional rationale and background to these rules are more fully set out in the preamble to EPA’s first direct final SNUR published in the Federal Register issue of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376) (FRL–3658–5). Consult that preamble for further information on the objectives, rationale, and procedures for SNURs and on the basis for significant new use designations, including provisions for developing test data. 
B. What is the Agency’s authority for 
taking this action? 
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 
2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 May 13, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\16MYR3.SGM 16MYR3asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES30453 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 94 / Monday, May 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 
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 bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. Once EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a significant new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture or process the chemical substance for that use. Persons who must report are described in § 721.5. 
C. Applicability of General Provisions 
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. According to § 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 section 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA section 5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA may take regulatory action under TSCA section 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to control the activities for which it has received the SNUN. If EPA does not take action, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to explain in the Federal Register its reasons for not taking action. 
III. Significant New Use Determination 
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA 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 addition to these factors 
enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2), the statute authorized EPA to consider any other relevant factors. 
To determine what would constitute a 
significant new use for the 55 chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, likely human exposures and environmental releases associated with possible uses, and the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit. 
IV. Substances Subject to This Rule 
EPA is establishing significant new 
use and recordkeeping requirements for 
55 chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In this unit, EPA provides 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 (assigned for non- confidential chemical identities). 
•Basis for the TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order or the basis for the TSCA non-section 5(e) SNURs (i.e., SNURs 
without TSCA section 5(e) consent orders). 
•Tests recommended by EPA to 
provide sufficient information to evaluate the chemical substance (see Unit VIII. for more information). 
•CFR citation assigned in the 
regulatory text section of this rule. 
The regulatory text section of this rule 
specifies the activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including production volume limits (i.e., limits on manufacture volume) and 
other uses designated in this rule, may be claimed as CBI. Unit IX. discusses a procedure companies may use to ascertain whether a proposed use constitutes a significant new use. 
This rule includes 10 PMN substances 
(P–11–150, P–11–484, P–11–543, P–14– 67, P–15–59, P–15–60, P–15–104, P–15– 154, P–15–328, and P–15–502) that are subject to ‘‘risk-based’’ consent orders under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) where EPA determined that activities associated with the PMN substances may present unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. Those consent orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The so-called ‘‘TSCA section 5(e) SNURs’’ on these PMN substances are promulgated pursuant to § 721.160, and are based on and consistent with the provisions in the underlying consent orders. The TSCA section 5(e) SNURs designate as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of the protective measures required in the 
corresponding consent orders. 
Where EPA determined that the PMN 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health via inhalation exposure, the underlying TSCA section 5(e) consent order usually requires, among other things, that potentially exposed employees wear specified respirators unless actual measurements of the workplace air show that air-borne concentrations of the PMN substance are below a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) that is established by EPA to provide adequate protection to human health. In addition to the actual NCEL concentration, the comprehensive NCELs provisions in TSCA section 5(e) consent orders, which are modeled after Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) provisions, include requirements addressing performance criteria for sampling and analytical methods, periodic monitoring, respiratory protection, and recordkeeping. However, no comparable NCEL provisions currently exist in 40 CFR part 721, subpart B, for SNURs. Therefore, for these cases, the individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, will state that persons subject to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs as an alternative to the § 721.63 respirator requirements may request to do so under § 721.30. EPA expects that persons whose § 721.30 requests to use the NCELs approach for SNURs are approved by EPA will be required to comply with NCELs provisions that are comparable to those contained in the corresponding TSCA section 5(e) consent order for the same chemical substance. 
This rule also includes SNURs on 45 
PMN substances that are not subject to consent orders under TSCA section 5(e). In these cases, for a variety of reasons, EPA did not find that the use scenario described in the PMN triggered the determinations set forth under TSCA section 5(e). However, EPA does believe that certain changes from the use scenario described in the PMN could result in increased exposures, thereby constituting a ‘‘significant new use.’’ These so-called ‘‘TSCA non-section 5(e) SNURs’’ are promulgated pursuant to § 721.170. EPA has determined that every activity designated as a ‘‘significant new use’’ in all TSCA non- section 5(e) SNURs issued under § 721.170 satisfies the two requirements stipulated in § 721.170(c)(2), i.e., these 
significant new use activities are different from those described in the 
premanufacture notice for the substance, including any amendments,

deletions, and additions of activities to 
the premanufacture notice, and may be accompanied by changes in exposure or release levels that are significant in relation to the health or environmental concerns identified’’ for the PMN substance. 
PMN Number P–11–150 
Chemical name: Alkali transition 
metal oxide (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: April 14, 2015. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance 
will be as a battery material. Based on test data on the PMN substance and structural activity relationship (SAR) analysis of test data on analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, subcategory titanium dioxide, EPA 
identified concerns for lung, blood, kidney, and adrenal toxicity, neurotoxicity, developmental toxicity, developmental neurotoxicity, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal effects, and immunosuppression. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) based on a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these risks, the consent order requires: 
1. Hazard communication. 
Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified respirator with an assigned protection factor (APF) of at least 10 or compliance with a New Chemicals Exposure Limit (NCEL) of 2.4 milligrams/cubic meter (mg/m
3) as an 8- 
hour time-weighted average, when there is potential inhalation exposure. 
3. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the consent order of the PMN substance. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) with special attention to histopathology (inflammation and cell proliferation) of the lung tissues and various parameters of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) e.g., maker enzyme activities, 
total protein content, total cell count, cell differential, and cell viability. It is 
not necessary to look at internal organs. EPA recommends that a recovery period of 60 days be included to assess the progression or regression of any lesions would help characterize possible health effects of the substance. The submitter has agreed to complete this testing by the confidential aggregate production volume identified in the consent order. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a carcinogenicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.4200) would help characterize the potential human health effects of the PMN substance. The Order does not require this test at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10875. 
PMN Numbers P–11–484 and P–11–543 
Chemical names: Perfluoroalkyl 
substituted alkyl sulfonate (generic) (P– 11–484); and Polyfluorinated alkyl quaternary ammonium chloride (generic) (P–11–543). 
CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: October 30, 2014. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMNs state that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substances 
will be as surfactants. Based on physical chemical properties data, as well as test data on analogous perfluorinated chemicals and potential perfluorinated degradation products including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS), and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (6–2 FTSA), EPA identified concerns for irritation to skin, eyes, lungs, mucous membranes, lung toxicity, liver toxicity, blood toxicity, male reproductive toxicity, immunosupression, and oncogenicity. EPA has concerns that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Further, based on test data on P–11–484, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 2,800 and 1 part per billion (ppb) respectively for PMN substances P–11–484 and P–11–543 respectively in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i), 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II) based on a finding that these substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the environment and human health, the substances may be produced in substantial quantities and may reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial quantities, and there may be significant (or substantial) human exposure to the substances and their potential degradation products. To protect against these exposures and risks, the consent order requires: 
1. Risk notification. If as a result of 
the test data required, the company becomes aware that the PMN substances may present a risk of injury to human health or the environment, the company must incorporate this new information, and any information on methods for protecting against such risk into an MSDS, within 90 days. 
2. Submission of certain physical/
chemical property, human health and environmental toxicity, and environmental fate testing prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limits specified in the consent order. 
3. Recording and reporting of certain 
fluorinated impurities in the starting raw material; and manufacture of the PMN substances not to exceed the maximum established impurity levels of certain fluorinated impurities. 
4. Use of the PMN substances only for 
the confidential uses specified in the consent order, where use in consumer products that could be spray applied are prohibited. 
5. Disposal of the PMN substance 
according to the incineration conditions specified in the consent order. 
6. Comply with the release to water 
provisions specified in the consent order. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of certain environmental fate and human health and environmental toxicity testing would help characterize human health and environmental effects of the PMN substances. The submitter has agreed to conduct the testing identified in the consent agreement by the confidential triggers identified in the consent order. Further, EPA has determined that the results of an acute inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.1300) and a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) with a post-exposure observation period of up to 3 months and BALF analysis would help characterize the human health effects from spray application of the PMN substances. The Order does

not require this testing at any specified 
time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information. 
CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.10876 (P– 
11–484) and 40 CFR 721.10877 (P–11– 543). 
PMN Number P–14–67 
Chemical name: 
Polyfluorinatedalkylsulfonyl substituted 
alkane derivative (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: November 4, 2015. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance 
will be as a polymer additive. EPA has concerns for potential incineration or other decomposition products of the PMN substance. These fluorinated decomposition products may be released to the environment from incomplete incineration of the PMN substance at low temperatures. EPA has preliminary evidence, including data on some fluorinated polymers which suggest that under some conditions, the PMN substance could degrade in the environment. EPA has concerns that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. These concerns are based on data on analogous chemical substances, including PFOA and other perfluorinated alkyls, including the presumed environmental degradant. EPA also has concerns that under some conditions of use, particularly non- industrial, commercial, or consumer use, the PMN substance could cause lung effects, based on limited data on some perfluorinated compounds. Concerns for the PMN substance are for lung toxicity from waterproofing of lung membrane, based on PMN properties. The order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that these substances and their potential degradation products may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the environment and human health. 
1. Risk notification. If as a result of 
the test data required, the company becomes aware that the PMN substance may present a risk of injury to human health or the environment, the company must incorporate this new information, and any information on methods for protecting against such risk into an 
MSDS, within 90 days. 
2. Submission of certain 
environmental fate testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the consent order of the PMN substance. 
3. No use of the PMN substance in 
consumer spray products. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of the modified aerobic activated sludge biodegradation test submitted by the company for EPA review would help characterize the possible degradation of the PMN substance. The submitter has agreed to submit the results of this test by the confidential production volume identified in the consent order. EPA had determined that the results of a phototransformation of chemicals on soil surfaces (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Draft Document January 2002) would help characterize the degradation 
potential of the PMN substance. The Order does not require this testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10878. 
PMN Number P–14–125 
Chemical name: 1- 
Octadecanaminium, N-(3-chloro-2- 
hydroxypropyl)-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride (1:1). 
CAS number: 3001–63–6. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a chemical intermediate for surfactant production. Based on test data on the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of test data on analogous cationic surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 2 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 2 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 2 ppb may result in significant adverse 
environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) and a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10879. 
PMN Numbers P–14–153, P–14–154, P–15–79, and P–15–80 
Chemical names: Fatty acid rxn 
products with aminoalkylamines (generic). 
CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
these substances will be used as 
chemical intermediates, additives for flotation products, and as adhesion promoters for use in asphalt applications. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous aliphatic amines, 
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. For the uses described in the PMN, releases of the substances are not expected to result in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substances, excluding the uses described in the PMNs, result in in releases to surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); an algal toxicity test (Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) Test Guideline 850.4500); log Kow and water solubility measurements; as well as either the fish acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1085) or the whole sediment acute toxicity invertebrates, freshwater test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1735) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances. EPA also recommends that the guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substance and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) be consulted to

facilitate solubility in the test media. 
Testing should be tiered, starting with water solubility and log Kow measurements before proceeding with higher tier toxicity tests. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10880. 
PMN Numbers P–14–155 and P–14–156 
Chemical names: Fatty acid amides 
(generic). 
CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMNs state that 
the substances will be used as chemical 
intermediates, additives for flotation products, and adhesion promoters for use in asphalt applications. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous amides and aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 2 and 3 ppb respectively of the PMN substances P–14–155 and P–14–156 in surface waters. For the uses described in the PMNs, releases of the substances are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 2 ppb and 3 ppb of the PMN substances respectively. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substances, excluding uses described in the PMNs, resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 2 ppb (P–14–155) or 3 ppb (P–14–156) of the PMN substances may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500); log Kow and water solubility measurements; as well as either the fish acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1085) or the whole sediment acute toxicity invertebrates, freshwater test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1735) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances. EPA also recommends that the guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substance and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) be consulted to facilitate solubility in the test media, because of the PMN’s low water solubility. Testing should be tiered, starting with water solubility and log Kow measurements before proceeding with higher tier toxicity tests.

borodibenzoate (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a color developer for general printing applications. Based on test data on the PMN substance and SAR analysis of test data on analogous aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 47 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20- day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from domestic manufacture or from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 47 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing (defined by statute to include import), processing or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any domestic manufacture or use of the substance other than as listed in the PMN may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) and a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as a 
lubricating oil additive. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous boron compounds, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 2 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20- day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range

Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a chronic fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as a 
plasticizer in adhesives for food-product packaging, a diluents-type plasticizer in plastisols, a coalescent in architectural paints and coatings, and a fragrance carrier in fragrances. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous esters, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 5 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the uses described in the PMN. For the uses described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 5 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance other than as listed in the PMN may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii).

CAS number: 1476777–83–9. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the use of the substance will be used in 
formulation of defoamers used in the production of paper. Based on structure- activity relationship SAR analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 7 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface waters exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 7 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, any use where the cumulative molecular weights of the C
12and C 14 
components exceed 2 percent by weight of the overall molecular weight of the PMN substance may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); an acute invertebrate toxicity test, freshwater daphnids (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. Before conducting these aquatic toxicity testing, EPA recommends chemical characterization of the alkyl range for the alcohol moiety and a water solubility test (OECD Test Guideline 105) should be conducted.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
substances will be used as gellants for use in oil fracturing. Based on structure- activity relationship (SAR) analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 4 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. As described in the PMNs, releases of the substances are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 4 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may present an unreasonable risk.

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: May 5, 2015. Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMNs state that the 
substances will be used as a down converter for an optical filter for light emitting diodes used in displays (P–15– 59) and as chemical intermediates (P– 15–60 and P–15–104). Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates and the presence of cadmium, EPA identified concerns for lung effects, kidney effects, and oncogenicity. In addition, EPA predicts chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms from exposure to cadmium. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the consent order requires: 
1. Use of impervious gloves to prevent 
dermal exposures, where there is a potential for dermal exposures. 
2. Submission of certain material 
characterization data on P–15–59 by the time triggers specified in the consent order. 
3. Manufacture, process, or use the 
PMN substances only in a liquid formulation. 
4. Manufacture, process, and use P– 
15–59 only as a down converter for an optical filter for light emitting diodes used in displays. 
5. Manufacture, process, and use of P– 
15–60 and P–15–104 only as chemical intermediates. 
6. Disposal of the PMN substances 
only by incineration in a permitted hazardous waste incinerator. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the development of data on certain material characterization data specified in the consent order on PMN substance P–15–59 would help characterize the possible effects of the PMN substance. The submitter has agreed to submit the results of these studies prior to 3 and 18 month time triggers identified in the consent order. In addition, EPA determined that the results of a metabolism and pharmacokinetics test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.7485) would help characterize the human health and environmental effect of the PMN substance. The Order does not require this testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as an ingredient in liquid paint coating. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous epoxides, there were health concerns regarding skin and lung sensitization, mutagenicity, oncogenicity, developmental toxicity, male reproductive, liver, and kidney toxicity based on the epoxide oxidation product as well as irritation and lung toxicity expected from the ethoxy silane hydrolysis product from exposure to the PMN substance via dermal exposure. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous epoxides, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, 
occupational exposures are expected to be minimal due to use of adequate dermal personal protection equipment and releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use without the use of impervious gloves, where there is a potential for dermal exposure, or any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C), (b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD Test Guideline 422); a Zahn-Wellens/EMPA test (OPPTS Test Guideline 835.3200); a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the human health and environmental effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance is as an intermediate. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous anilines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 11 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 11 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 11 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a hardener for coating systems. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 1 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing (defined by statute to include import), processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any domestic manufacture of the substance, or any use of the PMN substance other than as described in the PMN may result in significant adverse environmental effects.

will be as a textile treatment. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i), 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II) based on a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the consent order requires: 
1. Risk notification. If as a result of 
the test data required, the company becomes aware that the PMN substances may present a risk of injury to human health or the environment, the company must incorporate this new information, and any information on methods for protecting against such risk into an MSDS, within 90 days. 
2. Manufacture of the PMN substance: 
(a) According to the chemical composition section of the consent order, including analyzing and reporting certain starting raw material impurities to EPA; and (b) within the maximum established limits of certain fluorinated impurities of the PMN substance as stated in the consent order. 
3. Submission of certain toxicity, 
physical-chemical property, and environmental fate testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limits as specified in the consent order. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of certain toxicity and environmental fate testing would help characterize the PMN substance. The submitter has agreed to complete the testing identified in the testing section of the consent order by the confidential limits specified. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a 90-day inhalation toxicity test in rats (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465/OECD Test Guideline 413) with a 60-day holding period, and certain physical chemical property and environmental fate testing identified in the consent order would help characterize the human health and fate effects of the PMN substance. The Order does not require this testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as a chemical 
intermediate to curable monomers. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous thiols, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 8 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 8 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that results in surface water concentrations exceeding 8 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test, freshwater daphnids (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500); and a ready biodegradability test (OECD Test Guideline 301B) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a catalyst in the process to manufacture a crop protection chemical. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA identified concerns for blood toxicity to workers from dermal exposures to the PMN substance. As described in the PMN, occupational exposures are expected to be minimal due to use of adequate dermal personal protection equipment. 
Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance without the use of chemical impervious gloves, where there is a potential for dermal exposure, or any use of the substance other than as described in the PMN may cause serious health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(i). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a skin absorption, In vitro method (OECD Test 
Guideline 428) would help characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P–15–190 
Chemical name: Halogenated alkyl 
trimethylaminium halide (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be for cationization of starch. Based on test data on analogous alkylating agents, there were health concerns regarding mutagenicity, oncogenicity, developmental toxicity and respiratory sensitization based from exposure to the PMN substance via inhalation exposure. In addition, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous cationic surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 88 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, exposure is expected to be minimal due to use of adequate respiratory personal protection equipment and releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 88 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use without the use of NIOSH- certified respirator with an APF of at least 10, where there is a potential for respiratory exposure, or any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 88 ppb may result in serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C), (b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a bacterial reverse mutation test, (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.5100); a mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.5395); an acute oral toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.1100); a repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study in rodents (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3050); a fish acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); a fish acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1085); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test, freshwater daphnids (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the human health and environmental effects of the PMN substance.

Chemical name: Titanium salt, 
reaction products with silica (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a chemical intermediate. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous insoluble metal oxides, EPA identified concerns for lung toxicity if inhaled based on lung overload for respirable, poorly soluble particulates. For the use described in the PMN, inhalation exposures are expected to be minimal as the PMN is handled in an enclosed process. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use in a non-enclosed process, or any use of the substance other than listed in the PMN may result in significant adverse human health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) with 60-day holding period and a particle size distribution/fiber length and diameter distributions (OECD Test Guideline 110) would help characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a resin. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous phenols, EPA predicts toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii).

Chemical name: Functionalized 
carbon nanotubes (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as a thin film 
for electronic device applications. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous carbon nanotubes and other respirable poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified potential lung effects and skin penetration and toxicity induction from inhalation and dermal exposure to the PMN substance. Further, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms via releases of the PMN substance to surface water. Although there is potential for dermal exposure, EPA does not expect significant occupational exposures due to the use of impervious gloves, and because the PMN is used in a liquid and is not spray applied except in a closed system. Further, EPA does not expect environmental releases during the use identified in the PMN submission. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. EPA has determined, however, that any use

Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous phenols, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 13 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 13 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 13 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects.

substance will be as an intermediate for production of a lubricant additive. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous acrylates and esters, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects.

PMN substance in surface waters for 
greater than 20 days per year. This 20- day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 1 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance other than as listed in the PMN may result in significant adverse 
environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(i). 
Recommended testing: EPA has

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a specialty gas and transfer fluid. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA identified concerns for neurotoxicity and uncertain concern for cardiac sensitization. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances, EPA identified concerns for developmental toxicity. As described in the PMN, EPA does not expect significant occupational exposures due to use of adequate personal protective equipment, and consumer exposures are not expected as the PMN substance is not used in consumer products. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance other than as listed in the PMN or any use in a consumer product may result in significant adverse human health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170 (b)(3)(i) and (b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: June 2, 2015. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the PMN 
substance will be as a cement additive. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified concerns for lung toxicity based on lung overload. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) based on a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these risks, the consent order requires: 
1. Hazard communication. 
Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and the MSDS. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 10 or compliance with a NCEL of 5 mg/m
3as 
an 8-hour time-weighted average (when there is potential inhalation exposure), when there is potential inhalation exposure. 
3. Manufacture, processing or use of 
the PMN substance only for the use specified in the consent order. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) in rats would help characterize possible health effects of the substance. The Order does not require this testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information.

Chemical name: Polyalkyltrisiloxane 
(generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a site-limited intermediate. Based on SAR analysis of test data on an analogous substance, 
there were health concerns regarding liver and kidney toxicity, thyroid effects, and reproductive and developmental toxicity from dermal and inhalation exposures to the PMN substance. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 4 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. EPA also predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. Further, as described in the PMN, exposure is expected to be minimal due to use of adequate respiratory and dermal personal protection equipment and releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations exceeding 4 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that results in releases to surface waters exceeding 4 ppb, any use other than that as a site- limited intermediate, or any use without the use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with gas/vapor cartridges and an APF of at least 10 and impervious gloves, may result in serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170 (b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a sediment-water lumbriculus toxicity test (OECD Test Guideline 225); a combined 
repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD Test Guideline 422); a fish acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test, freshwater daphnids (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the human health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. All ecotoxicity tests should analyze the PMN substance as well as the hydrolysis products.

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substances will be used as additives in polymer formulation for electronics. Based on test data on the PMN substances and on SAR analysis of test data on analogous epoxides, EPA identified concerns for respiratory sensitization and irritation, mutagenicity, developmental toxicity, male reproduction toxicity, liver and kidney toxicity, and oncogenicity. Additionally, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous polyepoxides, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. Further, EPA has concerns that the PMN substances are potentially PBT chemicals as described in the New Chemical Program’s PBT category (64 FR 60194; November 4, 1999) (FRL– 6097–7). EPA estimates that the PMN substances will persist in the environment more than 2 months and estimates a bioaccumulation factor of greater than or equal to 1,000. For the use described in the PMN, EPA expects occupational exposures to be minimal and does not expect releases to surface waters. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substances other than as additives in polymer formulation for electronics or any use of the substances resulting in releases to surface waters may cause serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C), (b)(3)(i), (b)(3)(ii), and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD Test Guideline 422); a sediment-water chironomid life-cycle toxicity test (OECD Test Guideline 233), using spiked water or spiked sediment; a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the human health and environmental effects of the PMN substances.

As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii).

Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as a dual 
cure/UV cure adhesion/barrier coating for wood substrates. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous diisocyanates, EPA identified concerns for respiratory sensitization. As described in the PMN, EPA does not expect significant occupational dermal or inhalation exposure due to use of adequate personal protective equipment and consumer exposures are not expected as the PMN substance is not used in consumer products. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacture, processing, or use of the substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance without a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an APF of at least 10 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure, or any use in consumer products may cause serious health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a skin sensitization test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.2600) and a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) would help characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance.

the substance will be used as an odor 
neutralization for pet litter and cleaning 
hard surface surfaces, fabrics, skin and hair; an odor neutralization for air car; and an odor neutralization for waste processing and solid waste management in paper, oil, gas, mining, agriculture, food and municipal industries. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous zinc salts, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 4 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20- day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN.

Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous nonionic surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 30 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 30 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 30 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects.

determined that the results of a fish acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); an acute invertebrate toxicity test, freshwater daphnids (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10915. 
PMN Number P–15–435 
Chemical name: 2,7- 
Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 4-amino-3- [substituted]-5-hydroxy-6-[(1E)-2- phenyldiazenyl]-, lithium salt (1:3) (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a direct anionic dyestuff for the printing industry. Based on the results of a 28-day oral study for the PMN substance, EPA predicts anemia, effects on the adrenals, spleen, kidney, lymph nodes and immunotoxicity. In addition, based on the lithium salt of the PMN, EPA identified concerns for developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous azo reduction products, EPA identified concerns for blood effects, developmental toxicity, oncogenicity, and mutagenicity. As described in the 
PMN, EPA does not expect significant risk to workers due to use of adequate personal protective equipment. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance other than in a liquid formulation could result in exposures which may cause serious health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C), (b)(3)(i) and (b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of an ames assay (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.5100) with the rival modification; a mouse micronucleus assay conducted by the oral route (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.5395); and a combined repeated dose and developmental toxicity and reproductive toxicity screening test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3650) would help to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10916. 
PMN Number P–15–492 
Chemical name: Polymethylsiloxane, 
distillation residues (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a site-limited intermediate. Based on SAR analysis test data on analogous silanes, EPA identified concerns for mutagenicity, liver and kidney toxicity, thyroid effects, and reproductive and developmental toxicity from dermal and inhalation exposures to the PMN substance. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. For the intermediate use described in the PMN, occupational exposures are expected to be minimal due to the use of adequate respiratory and dermal personal protection equipment, and releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance without the use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with gas/vapor cartridges and an APF of at least 10, where there is a potential for inhalation exposures, any use of the substance without the use of impervious gloves, where there is a potential for 
dermal exposures; any use of the substance other than an intermediate; or any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a sediment-water lumbriculus toxicity test (OECD Test Guideline 225) using spiked sediment; a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD Test Guideline 422); a fish early- life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 
850.1300); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the human health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. All ecotoxicity tests should analyze for the PMN substance as well as the hydrolysis products.

PMN Number P–15–502 
Chemical name: 
Perfluorobutanesulfonamide and polyoxyalkylene containing polyurethane (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order: November 4, 2015. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance 
will be as a protective treatment. EPA has concerns for potential incineration or other decomposition products of the PMN substance. These fluorinated decomposition products may be released to the environment from incomplete incineration of the PMN substance at low temperatures. EPA has preliminary evidence, including data on some fluorinated polymers which suggest that under some conditions, the PMN substance could degrade in the environment. EPA has concerns that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. These concerns are based on data on analogous chemical substances, including PFOA and other perfluorinated alkyls, including the presumed environmental degradant. EPA also has concerns that under some conditions of use, particularly non- industrial, commercial, or consumer use, the PMN substance could cause lung effects, based on limited data on

some perfluorinated compounds. 
Concerns for the PMN substance are for lung toxicity from waterproofing of lung membrane, based on PMN properties. The order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that the substance and its potential intermediate and/or ultimate degradation products may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the environment and human health. 
1. Risk notification. If as a result of 
the test data required, the company becomes aware that the PMN substance may present a risk of injury to human health or the environment, the company must incorporate this new information, and any information on methods for protecting against such risk into an MSDS, within 90 days. 
2. Submission of certain 
environmental fate testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the consent order of the PMN substance. 
3. No use of the PMN substance in 
consumer spray products. 
The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 
new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of an aerobic and anaerobic transformation in soil test (OECD Test Guideline 307) would help characterize the possible degradation of the PMN substance. The submitter has agreed to submit the results of this test by the confidential production volume identified in the consent order. EPA had determined that the results of a phototransformation of chemicals on soil surfaces (OECD Draft Document January 2002) would help characterize the degradation potential of the PMN substance. The Order does not require this testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of that or other relevant information. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10918. 
PMN Number P–15–542 
Chemical name: Quaternary 
ammonium compounds, (3-chloro-2- hydroxypropyl)coco alkyldimethyl, chlorides. 
CAS number: 690995–44–9. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as an 
intermediate for surfactant production, and as a chemical intermediate for sale into commerce. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous cationic (quaternary ammonium) surfactants, 
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 24 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 24 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 24 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish 
early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P–15–559 
Chemical name: Modified 
diphenylmethane diisocyanate prepolymer with polyol (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as a raw material for flexible foam. Based on SAR analysis of analogous diisocyanates, EPA identified concerns for potential dermal and respiratory sensitization from dermal and inhalation exposures, and for pulmonary toxicity from inhalation exposure, to the PMN substance where the average molecular weight is below 7,500 daltons and any molecular weight species is below 1,000 daltons. For the molecular weight distribution described in the PMN, significant occupational exposures are not expected. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacture of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any manufacture of the PMN substance with an average molecular weight below 7,500 daltons, and where any molecular weight species is below 1,000 daltons may cause serious health effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a skin sensitization test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.2600) and a 90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465) would help characterize the 
human health effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P–15–573 
Chemical name: 
2-Furancarboxyaldehyde, 5-(chloromethyl)-. 
CAS number: 1623–88–7. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the use of the substance will be as a 
chemical intermediate. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous aldehydes, the EPA identified human health concerns for liver toxicity, neurotoxicity, sensitization, and cancer to workers exposed through dermal and inhalation routes. For the chemical intermediate use described in the PMN, occupational exposures are expected to be minimal due to the use of adequate personal protective equipment and a continuous reaction process such that no greater than 50 kilograms of the PMN substance is present in the workplace at a given time for this use. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use without the use of a NIOSH- certified respirator with an APF of at least 50, where there is a potential for inhalation exposures; any use without 
the use of impervious gloves, where there is a potential for dermal exposures, any use of the substance other than as a chemical intermediate; or any use beyond the annual production volume limit of 15,000 kilograms may result in serious human health or significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C) and (b)(3)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a skin sensitization (OECD Test Guideline 406) would help characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance; a combined repeated dose toxicity test with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test (OECD Test Guideline 422) with functional observational battery (FOB); a standard test method for permeation of liquids and gases through protective clothing materials under conditions of continuous contact (ASTM Test Guideline F739) using the format specified in the standard guide for documenting the results of chemical permeation testing of materials used in protective clothing materials (ASTM Test Guideline F1194–99(2010)); and a carcinogenicity test (OECD Test Guideline 451) would help characterize

Chemical name: 1,2,4,5,7,8- 
Hexoxonane, 3,6,9-trimethyl-, 3,6,9- tris(alkyl) derivs. (generic). 
CAS number: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the generic (non-confidential) use of the 
substance will be as an initiator for polymerization. Based on data on the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of test data on analogous peroxides, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 56 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 56 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance other than as listed in the PMN may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) using a solvent where the effects of the solvent are already known or measured, would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P–15–671 
Chemical name: 9-Octadecen-1- 
amine, hydrochloride (1:1), (9Z)-. 
CAS number: 41130–29–4. 
Basis for action: The PMN states that 
the substance will be used as an 
emulsifying agent used in the production of asphalt emulsions for chipsealing and other road maintenance techniques. Based on test data for the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of test data on analogous aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not 
expected to result in surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at § 721.170 (b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) and a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300) would help characterize the environmental effects of 
the PMN substance.

PMN Numbers P–15–689 and P–15–690 
Chemical names: Vegetable fatty acid 
alkyl esters (generic). 
CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 
Basis for action: The PMNs state that 
the substances will be used as chemical 
intermediates. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous esters, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early-life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the substances to surface water exceeds releases from the use described in the PMN. For the chemical intermediate use described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 1 ppb for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substances other than as an intermediate may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 
Recommended testing: EPA has 
determined that the results of a fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances. Depending on the results of these tests, 
EPA has determined that the results of an aerobic and anaerobic metabolism test (OECD Test Guideline 308) in aquatic sediment systems test; and a sediment water chironomid life-cycle toxicity test (OECD Test Guideline 233) using spiked water or spiked sediment would help to further characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances. 
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10924. 
V. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule 
A. Rationale 
During review of the PMNs submitted 
for the chemical substances that are 
subject to these SNURs, EPA concluded that for 10 of the 55 chemical substances, regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the chemical substances. The basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based on these findings, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use of appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. The SNUR provisions for these chemical substances are consistent with the provisions of the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. These SNURs are promulgated pursuant to § 721.160 (see Unit VI.). 
In the other 45 cases, where the uses 
are not regulated under a TSCA section 5(e) consent order, EPA determined that one or more of the criteria of concern established at § 721.170 were met, as discussed in Unit IV. 
B. Objectives 
EPA is issuing these SNURs for 
specific chemical substances which 
have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants to achieve the following objectives with regard to the significant new uses designated in this rule: 
•EPA will receive notice of any 
person’s intent to manufacture or process a listed chemical substance for the described significant new use before that activity begins. 
•EPA will 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. 
•EPA will be able to regulate 
prospective manufacturers or processors of a listed chemical substance before the described significant new use of that chemical substance occurs, provided that regulation is warranted pursuant to TSCA sections 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7. 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 May 13, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\16MYR3.SGM 16MYR3asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES30467 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 94 / Monday, May 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 
•EPA will ensure that all 
manufacturers and processors of the 
same chemical substance that is subject to a TSCA section 5(e) consent order are subject to similar requirements. 
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 
substance does not signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to 
determine if a chemical substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/ 
existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/
index.html. 
VI. Direct Final Procedures 
EPA is issuing these SNURs as a 
direct final rule, as described in 
§ 721.160(c)(3) and § 721.170(d)(4). In accordance with § 721.160(c)(3)(ii) and § 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B), the effective date of this rule is July 15, 2016 without further notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments before June 15, 2016. 
If EPA receives written adverse or 
critical comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these SNURs before June 15, 2016, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public comment. 
This rule establishes SNURs for a 
number of chemical substances. Any person who submits adverse or critical comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, must identify the chemical substance and the new use to which it applies. EPA will not withdraw a SNUR for a chemical substance not identified in the comment. 
VII. Applicability of the Significant 
New Use Designation 
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 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, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders have been issued for 10 of the 55 chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders from undertaking activities which would be designated as significant new uses. The identities of 41 of the 55 chemical substances subject to this rule have been claimed as confidential and EPA has received no post-PMN bona fide submissions (per 
§§ 720.25 and 721.11). Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in the regulatory text of this rule are ongoing. 
Therefore, EPA designates May 16, 
2016 as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is ongoing. Persons who begin commercial manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use identified as of that date would 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 wait until the notice review period, including any extensions, expires. If such a person met the conditions of advance compliance under § 721.45(h), the person would be considered exempt from the requirements of the SNUR. Consult the Federal Register document of April 24, 1990 for a more detailed discussion of the cutoff date for ongoing uses. 
VIII. Test Data and Other Information 
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 
does not require developing any 
particular test data before submission of a SNUN. The two exceptions are: 
1. Development of test data is 
required where the chemical substance subject to the SNUR is also subject to a test rule under TSCA section 4 (see TSCA section 5(b)(1)). 
2. Development of test data may be 
necessary where the chemical substance has been listed under TSCA section 5(b)(4) (see TSCA section 5(b)(2)). 
In the absence of a TSCA section 4 
test rule or a TSCA section 5(b)(4) listing covering the chemical substance, persons are required only to submit test data in their possession or control and to describe any other data 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. In cases where EPA issued a TSCA section 5(e) consent order that requires or recommends certain testing, Unit IV. lists those tests. Unit IV. also lists recommended testing for non-5(e) SNURs. Descriptions of tests are provided for informational purposes. EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. To access the OCSPP test guidelines referenced in this document electronically, please go to http://www.epa.gov/ocspp and select ‘‘Test 
Methods and Guidelines.’’ The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guidelines are available from the OECD Bookshop at http://www.oecdbookshop.org or SourceOECD 
at http://www.sourceoecd.org. ASTM 
International standards are available at http://www.astm.org/Standard/index.shtml. 
In the TSCA section 5(e) consent 
orders for several of the chemical substances regulated under this rule, EPA has established production volume limits in view of the lack of data on the potential health and environmental risks that may be posed by the significant new uses or increased exposure to the chemical substances. These limits cannot be exceeded unless the PMN submitter first submits the results of toxicity tests that would permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these chemical substances. Under recent TSCA section 5(e) consent orders, each PMN submitter is required to submit each study before reaching the specified production limit. Listings of the tests specified in the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders are included in Unit IV. The SNURs contain the same production volume limits as the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. Exceeding these production limits is defined as a significant new use. Persons who intend to exceed the production limit must notify the Agency by submitting a SNUN at least 90 days in advance of commencement of non- exempt commercial manufacture or processing. 
The recommended tests specified in 
Unit IV. may not be the only means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical substance. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA section 5(e), particularly if satisfactory test results have not been obtained from a prior PMN or SNUN submitter. 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. 
•Potential benefits of the chemical 
substances. 
•Information on risks posed by the 
chemical substances compared to risks posed by potential substitutes. 
IX. Procedural Determinations 
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). 
Under these procedures a 
manufacturer or processor may request 
EPA to determine whether a proposed 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 § 721.1725(b)(1) with that under § 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. 
X. SNUN Submissions 
According to § 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 http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems. 
XI. 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 under docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT– 2015–0810. 
XII. Statutory and Executive Order 
Reviews 
A. Executive Order 12866 
This action establishes SNURs for 
several new chemical substances that 
were the subject of PMNs, or TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 
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. EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB approval number for the information collection requirements contained in this action. This listing of the OMB control numbers 
and their subsequent codification in the CFR satisfies the display requirements of PRA and OMB’s implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. This Information Collection Request (ICR) was previously subject to public notice and comment prior to OMB approval, and given the technical nature of the table, EPA finds that further notice and comment to amend it is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good cause’’ under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table without further notice and comment. 
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, Collection Strategies Division, Office of Environmental Information (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) 
On February 18, 2012, EPA certified 
pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq.), that promulgation of a 
SNUR does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities where the following are true: 
1. A significant number of SNUNs 
would not be submitted by small entities in response to the SNUR. 
2. The SNUR submitted by any small 
entity would not cost significantly more than $8,300. 
A copy of that certification is available 
in the docket for this action. 
This action is within the scope of the 
February 18, 2012 certification. Based on the Economic Analysis discussed in Unit XI. and EPA’s experience promulgating SNURs (discussed in the certification), EPA believes that the following are true: 
•A significant number of SNUNs 
would not be submitted by small entities in response to the SNUR. 
•Submission of the SNUN would not 
cost any small entity significantly more than $8,300.

Therefore, the promulgation of the 
SNUR would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
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 
This action will not 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, entitled ‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). 
F. Executive Order 13175 
This action does not have Tribal 
implications because it is not expected 
to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This action does not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of Indian Tribal governments, nor does it involve or impose any requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13175, entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this action. 
G. Executive Order 13045 
This action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks’’ (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 
This action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13211, entitled ‘‘Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect energy supply, distribution, or use and 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 
This action does not entail special 
considerations of environmental justice 
related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled ‘‘Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 
XIII. Congressional Review Act 
Pursuant to the Congressional Review 
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 
submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
