Significant New Use Rules on Certain 
Chemical Substances; Withdrawal 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Withdrawal of direct final rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is withdrawing 
significant new use rules (SNURs) promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 10 chemical substances, which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking procedures, which requires EPA to take certain actions if an adverse comment is received. EPA received adverse comments and a request to extend the comment period regarding the SNURs identified in the direct final rule. Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing the direct final rule SNURs identified in this document, as required under the direct final rulemaking procedures. 
DATES : The direct final rule published at 
83 FR 43527 on August 27, 2018, is withdrawn effective October 26, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Does this action apply to me? 
A list of potentially affected entities is 
provided in the Federal Register of August 27, 2018 (83 FR 43527) (FRL– 9982–77). If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under 
FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . 
II. What direct final SNURs are being withdrawn? 
In the Federal Register of August 27, 
2018 (83 FR 43527) (FRL–9982–77), EPA issued direct final SNURs for 10 chemical substances that are identified 
in that document. Because the Agency received adverse comments and a request to extend the comment period regarding the SNURs identified in the document, EPA is withdrawing the direct final SNURS issued for these 10 chemical substances, which were the subject of PMNs. In addition to the Direct Final SNURs, elsewhere in the same issue of the Federal Register of August 27, 2018 (83 FR 43527) (FRL– 9982–77), EPA issued proposed SNURs covering these 10 chemical substances. EPA will address all adverse public comments in a subsequent final rule, based on the proposed rule. 
III. Good Cause Finding 
EPA determined that this document is 
not subject to the 30-day delay of 
effective date generally required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(d)) because of the time limitations for publication in the Federal Register. This document must publish on or before the effective date of the direct final rule containing the direct final SNURs being withdrawn. 
IV. Statutory and Executive Order 
Reviews 
This action withdraws regulatory 
requirements that have not gone into effect and which contain no new or amended requirements and reopens a comment period. As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have any adverse impacts, economic or otherwise. The statutory and Executive Order review requirements applicable to the direct final rules were discussed in the August 27, 2018 Federal Register (83 FR 43527). Those review requirements do not apply to this action because it is a withdrawal and does not contain any new or amended requirements. 
V. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 
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). Section 808 of the CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. As required by 5 U.S.C. 808(2), this determination is supported by a brief statement in Unit III.
