Significant New Use Rules on Certain 
Chemical Substances 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is issuing significant new 
use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 145 chemical substances which are the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). The chemical substances are subject to Orders issued by EPA pursuant to section 5(e) of TSCA. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these 145 chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA’s evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required by that determination. 
DATES : This rule is effective on October 
21, 2019. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on September 3, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me? 
You may be potentially affected by 
this action if you manufacture, process, or use the chemical substances contained in this rule. The following list 
of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: 
•Manufacturers or processors of one 
or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., 
chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 
This action may also affect certain 
entities through pre-existing import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import 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 this rule on or after September 19, 2019 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. 
II. Background A. What action is the Agency taking? 
EPA is finalizing these SNURs under 
TSCA section 5(a)(2) for 145 substances which were the subject of PMNs. These SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. 
In the Federal Register of August 1, 
2018 (83 FR 37455) (FRL–9981–16), EPA proposed a SNUR for these 145 chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, and reopened the public comment period in the Federal Register 
of October 15, 2018 (83 FR 51910) (FRL– 9984–72). This reopened comment period closed on November 14, 2018. More information on the specific chemical substances subject to this final rule can be found in the Federal 
Register documents proposing the 
SNUR. The record for the SNUR was established in the docket under docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2017–0366. That docket includes information considered by the Agency in developing 
the proposed and final rules. 
EPA received public comments on the 
proposed rule. Those comments and EPA’s responses are found in Unit IV. 
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 that a use of a chemical substance is a ‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all relevant factors, including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. 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 (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(i)). TSCA furthermore prohibits such manufacturing or processing from commencing until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and taken such actions as are required in association with that determination (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(ii)). In the case of a determination other than not likely to present unreasonable risk, the applicable review period must also expire before manufacturing or processing for the new use may 
commence. 
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 must either determine that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury under the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination before the manufacture or processing for the significant new use can commence.

the case of a determination other than 
not likely to present unreasonable risk, the applicable review period must also expire before manufacturing or processing for the new use may commence. If EPA determines that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and submit for publication in the Federal Register , a statement of EPA’s 
findings. 
III. Significant New Use Determination 
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 determining what would constitute 
a significant new use for the chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, likely human exposures and environmental releases associated with possible uses, and the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit. Note that when the Agency issues an order under TSCA section 5(e), section 5(f)(4) requires that the Agency consider whether to promulgate a SNUR for any use not conforming to the restrictions of the order or publish a statement describing the reasons for not initiating the rulemaking. 
IV. Public Comments on Proposed Rule 
and EPA Responses 
EPA received public comments from 
15 entities on the proposed rule. The Agency’s responses are described below. 
Anonymous Comments 
EPA received 8 anonymous comments 
on the proposed rule. These comments were general in nature and not specific to or relevant to any of the proposed SNURs. No response is required. 
Ad Hoc Testing Policy Change 
Comment: One commenter noted that 
EPA has instituted an ad hoc testing policy change without acknowledging it 
has done so and without meeting TSCA’s requirements. With these proposed SNURs, the commenter continues, EPA has implemented a significant departure from past policy and practice by ceasing to include any testing requirements or identifying any recommended testing. Instead, the commenter states, each chemical- specific description in Unit IV of the proposed rule only identifies ‘‘potentially useful information’’ that EPA indicates is only being ‘‘provided for informational purposes;’’ EPA has not defined what it means for information to be only potentially useful and why EPA does not identify the information as actually useful or necessary. Finally, the commenter states that, moreover, EPA provides no explanation for why it no longer identifies testing as ‘‘recommended testing,’’ as it previously did, and instead only describes the associated information as ‘‘potentially useful.’’ 
Response: The comment pertains to 
the preambles of each SNUR, which are not requirements for testing. The comment is misinformed, as section 5(a)(2) never has provided authority to require testing in SNUNs. Rather, EPA has identified recommended testing that appeared likely to assist with review of a SNUN. That the testing is now characterized as ‘‘potentially useful’’ rather than ‘‘recommended’’ takes into account the possibility that there may be a variety of information and/or data that would assist with the review of a SNUN, in addition to the testing that the Agency has identified. SNUN submitters may want to consider submitting information ( i.e. exposure or toxicity 
data) that EPA had identified as potentially useful when the new chemical substance was originally reviewed. EPA is not establishing a new testing policy that is based on exposure considerations, as described under TSCA section 26(l)(3). 
In addition, as stated on EPA’s new 
chemicals website ( https://
www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals- under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ actions-under-tsca-section-5 ): ‘‘EPA has 
modified language in its regulatory documents to ensure consistency with TSCA section 4(h) requirements to reduce testing on vertebrates to the extent practicable. Section 5(e) Orders will now contain a statement of need that explains the basis for any decision that requires the use of vertebrate animals. In addition, EPA is modifying language in its legal documents describing test requirements to reflect a 
preference for tiered testing and use of non-vertebrate testing strategies first and using that test data to inform whether 
higher tiered testing (including testing of vertebrates) is necessary. Similarly, EPA is modifying language in its SNURs to more generally describe the information EPA believes would help characterize chemical properties, fate and/or the potential human health and environmental effects associated with a significant new use of the chemical substance, rather than list specific recommended tests. EPA is encouraging companies to consult with the Agency on the potential for use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs) to generate data to inform risk assessment. EPA encourages dialogue with Agency representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h).’’ 
Isocyanates 
One entity commented on proposed 
SNURs for two isocyanate-based polymers or prepolymers: Aliphatic N- alkyl urea polymer containing cyclohexyl groups and trimethoxy silanes (generic) (721.11029; P–15–706) and aliphatic N-alkyl urea polymer containing aspartic ester groups and trimethoxy silanes (generic) (721.11030; P–15–707). For both of these SNURs, EPA proposed that the absence of the protective measures in the underlying TSCA 5(e) Order—including exceeding a specified weight of residual isocyanates in the PMN substances, consumer use, exceeding a workplace 
exposure limit (NCEL), and manufacture, processing or use without personal protective equipment—would be reportable significant new uses. 
Comment: The commenter made the 
following points: 
•EPA should clarify the proposed 
and direct final SNURs to the extent it is basing them on concerns with excess or residual isocyanate monomers. EPA appears to be basing the proposed SNURs on the potential for the hazards or risks of excess or residual isocyanate monomer in mixture with this isocyanate-based polymer or prepolymer. These isocyanate monomers are existing chemicals with many ongoing uses, including use as a monomer or use in excess or residual monomer. EPA has not transparently identified those monomers as being subject to the proposed SNURs. EPA may not use its SNUR authority to address ongoing uses of the isocyanate monomers. 
•EPA should clarify the basis, scope, 
and provisions of the proposed SNURs. In particular, EPA should clarify its basis for both the imposed limitations 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243268 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
on residual isocyanates and the derived 
New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL). EPA should also clarify the proposed regulatory text and the preamble of the proposed SNURs, which include inconsistent language regarding when respiratory and dermal protection is needed. 
•EPA should defer personal 
protective equipment (PPE) and hazard communication provisions to the applicable OSHA requirements. 
•EPA should delete the provisions 
incorporating the recordkeeping requirements in 40 CFR 721.125, as it did in the proposed TDI SNUR, 80 FR 2068 (Jan. 15, 2015), and some others. 
In response to this commenter, 
another commenter stated that regardless of whether there are separate ongoing uses for these isocyanates, their presence here as residuals is directly associated with the manufacture of a new chemical substance that EPA has reviewed and for which it has determined that the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. It is therefore appropriate in this and other such cases that EPA promulgates SNURs that would require notification and EPA review of potential risks posed by the residual isocyanates present in the PMN substance prior to allowing expanded manufacture or use. In addition, these isocyanates have never been used to produce the PMN substance before; this particular significant new use identified by EPA— i.e., manufacture of the PMN 
substance with a residual isocyanate level above 0.1%—would constitute a significant new use of both the relevant isocyanates and the PMN substance requiring notification under TSCA section 5. 
Response: EPA is concerned about the 
health effects of any residual monomer as well as unreacted isocyanate groups on a polymer when assessing the risks for the new chemical substances. EPA has the authority under section 5 of TSCA to address any risks associated with the manufacture, processing, and use of the new chemical substances 
even if those risks are based on the presence of existing chemical substances. The SNUR only applies to activities associated with the new chemical substances. Activities associated with the new chemical substance are not ongoing activities of the existing chemical substance. EPA did not receive specific, quantitative information that demonstrates the chemical substance subject to these proposed SNURs exhibit a lower potential for the hazards and potential risks described in the proposed SNUR or that they will specifically replace a chemical substance with a higher potential for hazards and risks. EPA is 
issuing the SNUR as proposed to provide the Agency with the opportunity to review any new uses for potential unreasonable risks. As described in the Agency’s 2011 Action Plan for MDI and TDI, diisocyanates are well-known dermal and inhalation sensitizers in the workplace and have been documented to cause asthma, lung damage, and in severe cases, fatal reactions. EPA is concerned about potential health effects that may result from exposures of consumers or self- employed workers while using products containing uncured (unreacted) MDI and TDI and its related polyisocyanates (e.g., spray-applied foam sealants, 
adhesives, and coatings) or incidental exposures to the general population while such products are used in or around buildings including homes or schools. While workers may already be using protective controls in occupational settings, due to the nature of the potential risk posed by these chemicals, EPA believes it is prudent to emphasize its concern through respiratory protection requirements where there is potential for inhalation exposure, in addition to proposing significant new uses such as consumer use and application method. Accordingly, the regulatory actions for new diisocyanates reflects EPA’s policy of consistent treatment of the entire class of potentially hazardous chemicals, regardless of their statutory status as ‘‘new’’ or ‘‘existing’’ chemicals. 
With regards to deferring PPE and 
hazard communication requirements to OSHA, and to the basis for imposed limitations on residual isocyanates and the derived New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL), the 5(e) Order included these protective measures and these comments constitute challenges to certain TSCA section 5(a)(3) determinations rather than to the basis for or the content of the SNURs, which EPA has promulgated using its discretion to issue SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2). Because these comments are not germane to this rulemaking, EPA is not responding to these comments in this notice and declines to modify the SNURs on the basis of these comments. 
With regards to clarifying the 
proposed regulatory text and the preamble of the proposed SNURs, which include inconsistent language regarding when respiratory and dermal protection is needed, the regulatory text for § 721.63 states that workers who are ‘‘reasonably likely to be exposed’’ are required to use the personal protective equipment identified in the SNUR. The 
preamble language is a summary of SNUR requirements and is not intended describe every detail of the SNUR 
requirements. Persons manufacturing or processing a chemical substance subject to a SNUR should follow the requirements cited in the regulatory text of the SNUR. 
With regards to the comment about 
recordkeeping, the SNUR cited by the commenter are existing chemical SNURs where EPA determined recordkeeping was not needed for various reasons. For example, when the significant new use for an existing chemical is ‘‘any use’’ there is typically no recordkeeping required because there are no records to be maintained that would inform EPA inspection or enforcement. Because these are new chemical SNURs, EPA will continue to require recordkeeping for all new chemical SNURs to better allow EPA to inspect and enforce SNUR requirements at facilities where chemicals subject to SNURs are manufactured and processed. 
Consistency Between SNURs and Orders (a). General 
Comment: One commenter stated that 
the Lautenberg Act requires that SNUR requirements conform with requirements of TSCA section 5(e) and 5(f) actions and Orders or that EPA publish a statement explaining why EPA is not doing so, and that EPA should not deviate from prior policy and practice, which correctly implements the law. The commenter then identified instances where the Order requirements were not consistent with the SNUR requirements (see subsequent comments, below). 
Response: In general, EPA agrees that 
SNURs should be consistent with the underlying action or order; however, EPA has never considered that SNURs must have exactly the same requirements. For example, when an Order requires certain testing before manufacture exceeding a certain production limit or time limit, the corresponding SNUR requires notification before exceeding that time or production volume limit. It does not require testing before exceeding the time or production volume limit. Under a TSCA section 5(e) Order, It would be problematic to require the same test from two different entities. The purpose of the SNUR requirement is for the manufacturer to notify EPA and for EPA to determine what, if any, testing should be required based on all available information available. at the time of notification. In the sections that follow, EPA has listed those instances where the commenter identified differences between the Order and the SNUR and 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243269 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
either explained the differences or made 
the change. 
(b). Protection in the Workplace 
Comment: One commenter noted that 
a number of the proposed SNURs identify a significant new use as any use where worker protection equipment is not provided, and that some but not all of the SNURs correctly mirror the corresponding 5(e) Order by requiring specific respirators, gloves, and other equipment to be used when the chemical is present in a specified ‘‘form’’ or physical state. For example, the Order for P–17–272 identified three 
forms (particulate, gas/vapor, or combination gas/vapor and particulate (e.g., paint spray mist)). However, the 
corresponding proposed SNUR does not identify any forms, rather, it only states that ‘‘* * * [r]equirements as specified in § 721.63(a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (iii), (iv), (a)(3). When determining which persons are reasonably likely to be exposed as required for § 721.63(a)(1) engineering control measures * * * or administrative control measures * * * shall be considered and implemented to prevent exposure, where feasible.’’ This inconsistency is significant because if the form of the chemical substance is not identified in subpart E ( i.e., in the 
proposed SNUR), the workplace protections required under § 721.63(a)(1) or (a)(4) will not fully apply for the dermal and airborne exposures to those forms. Below are PMNs where one, or all, of the forms identified in the corresponding consent order are not specified in the proposed SNURs: 
•Does not identify any of the forms 
identified in the Order: P–14–0472, P– 14–0496, P–16–0358, P–17–0272–77, P– 17–0278–80 
•Does not identify particulate form: 
P–15–0707, P–16–0430, P–16–0513 
•Does not identify gas/vapor form: 
P–16–0399 
•Does not identify combination of 
gas/vapor and particulate (EPA provides as an example in the consent order, ‘‘paint spray mist’’): P–14–0630, P–15– 0450, P–15–0705–07, P–16–0322, P–16– 0352 (chemicals A and B), P–16–0399, P–16–0430, P–16–0513, P–17–0032, P– 17–0033–140. 
The commenter states that EPA must 
eliminate these inconsistencies in the final SNURs and ensure that all forms triggering worker protections specified in the Orders are also specified in the corresponding final SNURs. 
Response: For P–14–472, P–14–496, 
P–14–630, P–15–0450, P–16–322, P–16– 358, P–16–399, P–17–272 to P–17–277, P–17–278 to P–17–280, P–15–705–707, P–16–352, P–16–430, P–16–0513, P–17– 0032 the Agency agrees that the form in 
the SNUR does not match the Order and has corrected that oversight in the final SNUR. For the SNURs for P–17–33 through P–17–140, all three forms—gas, vapor, and particulate—are correctly identified. Any combination of these forms requires the identified personal protective equipment. 
(c). Industrial, Commercial, and 
Consumer Activities—Time Limits Under 40 CFR 721.80(p) 
Comment: One commenter noted that 
a number of the 5(e) Orders require the manufacturing (including import) to cease after a period of time unless certain conditions have been met. For example, the Order for P–15–450 establishes a time limit that triggers testing requirements, effective from the Notice of Commencement of Manufacture or Import (NOC) date, after which the chemical substance can no longer be manufactured by the company subject to the Order unless the testing is conducted. Other Orders establish a volume limit that cannot be exceeded unless the testing is conducted. The commenter continues by noting that the proposed SNURs appear to rely on 40 CFR 721.80(p) to effectuate this type of production limit restriction in the Orders. 40 CFR 721.80(p) states that, where a substance is specified as being subject to that section, a significant new use is the ‘‘[a]ggregate manufacture and importation volume for any use greater than that specified in subpart E of this part for the substance,’’ in the proposed SNURs. This delineation of a significant new use clearly only includes a volume 
limitation. In prior SNURs codified in subpart E, EPA cites to 40 CFR 721.80(p) and correctly specifies a volume limitation. See, e.g., 40 CFR 721.10524 
and 721.10935. The proposed SNURs covering the substances in P–15–450, P– 16–289, P–16–399, and P–17–198 each propose to rely on this restriction for a time limitation. EPA’s reliance only on 
cross-referencing 40 CFR 721.80(p) is problematic because in a number of the proposed SNURs EPA cites 40 CFR 721.80(p) as identifying a significant new use but then only specifies a time 
limitation ( e.g., 6 months, 12 months, 6 
years), not a volume limitation. 
Including only a time limitation in the SNURs in subpart E while also citing 40 CFR 721.80(p)—which provides only for a volume limitation—creates confusion regarding the actual restriction applicable to the substance. If EPA’s 
intention is to impose a volume limitation, EPA should clearly identify the specific volume in the proposed SNUR. And if EPA wants to set a time limitation instead of or in addition to a volume limitation, EPA must spell that 
out in the proposed SNUR. For instance, in the past, EPA has set a limit at ‘‘any amount after [x date].’’ See, e.g., 40 CFR 
721.10522, 721.10527, and 721.10619. Regardless of the approach, EPA must ensure that the final SNURs capture all of the restrictions in the 5(e) Orders. 
The commenter continues that EPA’s 
approach to specifying time limitations is made more confusing because the proposed SNURs fail to explain that the time limit originated and is specified in the Order, and more importantly fail to identify the trigger that starts the clock ticking toward the time limit. The proposed SNURs state that a significant new use is any use as described in 40 CFR 721.80(p), with a time period ( e.g., 
six months) noted in parentheses but without any further explanation. While the original PMN submitter may understand this in the context of its Order, the commenter states, any other company subject to the SNUR would not. Accordingly, EPA needs to specify, at a minimum, when the time period commences, which based on the Order is upon the PMN submitter’s filing of a NOC. Even then, it is not clear how a second company would timely know that a NOC had been filed by the PMN submitter, thereby triggering the time period to start. It is also not clear how EPA would address a situation in which a SNUR is finalized preceding or otherwise in the absence of the filing of a NOC. 
Second, the Order for P–16–0289 
includes numerous time limitations on the manufacturing volume of the chemical substance, yet the corresponding proposed SNUR fails to include all but one of them. The proposed SNUR states that a significant new use is any use as described in 40 CFR 721.80(p), with ‘‘six months’’ in parentheses. In addition to the concern raised previously about the ambiguity of relying solely on a time limitation when EPA also intends to have a volume limitation, in this case the Order sets additional limitations that are not 
included at all in the SNUR. These 
include a prohibition on manufacturing unless the company ‘‘measures the particle size distribution to characterize the particle size distribution of fractions less than 10 microns of the dry particle PMN substance’’: (1) Twice every twelve months after the six months is over, if 
there is commercial production, until a total of six tests are performed; and (2) if there are changes in the manufacturing process that could result in different particle sizes. Rather than rely solely on cross-referencing 40 CFR 
721.80(p), EPA should spell out the restrictions from the Order in the 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243270 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
proposed SNUR or cite to 40 CFR 
721.80(k) and (q), which in turn cite to the restrictions set by the Order. Ultimately, whichever way EPA chooses to make this correction, EPA must make sure that the limits set by the final SNUR are clear, and fully conform to the limits in the Order. 
Response: In response to this 
comment, in the final rule EPA presents the specific time restriction rather than cross-referencing § 721.80(p). For all the SNURs cited, the time limits refer to the time after—any manufacturer—begins manufacture of the PMN substance. Each manufacturer is permitted to manufacture up to the time limit identified in the SNUR from the time they begin manufacture. They are not required to base their time limit on the actions of other manufacturers or the notice of commencement. If that were 
the case some manufacturers could be required to notify EPA before they even begin manufacture. Therefore, EPA is removing the reference to § 721.80(p) and clarifying that ‘‘It is a significant new use to manufacture for a period longer than (time period cited in the 
underlying Order). ’’ For those instances 
where there are multiple time limits in the Order, corresponding to multiple testing requirements, only the first limit will be included in the SNUR, because by the time of any SNUN submission, the Agency may possess new information that changes its initial data requirements and any new time limits would be the subject of EPA’s finding for the SNUN. 
(d). Other Discrepancies Between 
Orders and SNURs 
Comment: The same commenter 
noted the following examples of other discrepancies between Orders and corresponding proposed SNURs with respect to the specification of significant new uses for industrial, commercial, and consumer activities: 
For P–14–0630, the Order states that 
using the chemical substance in a consumer product that generates ‘‘vapor’’ is prohibited. The proposed SNUR does not include generation of vapor as a significant new use. 
For P–16–0273–74, the Order states 
that the chemical substance can only be imported in totes. The proposed SNUR does not include that limitation. 
For P–16–0495, the Order states that 
the chemical substance can only be used for a specific confidential use. The proposed SNUR sets no such limit. The SNUR should cite to 40 CFR 721.80(k) (‘‘use other than allowed by the section 5(e) consent order’’). 
For P–17–0032, the Order includes a 
separate volume limit for processing the substance. The SNUR only sets a 
volume limit for manufacture and import and not one for processing. EPA must include the processing limit in the SNUR. 
Response: For the SNUR for P–16– 
495, the Agency has corrected the oversight in the proposed rule and the final SNUR for that chemical substance now cites 40 CFR 721.80(k). For the SNUR for P–17–32, the Agency agrees that there was an oversight in the proposed rule. The final SNUR for that chemical substance now also includes the statement ‘‘It is a significant new use to process the substance beyond the confidential annual volume cited in the 5(e) Order.’’ For the SNUR for P14–630 EPA has added generation of vapor in a consumer product as a significant new use because it is part of the Order but was inadvertently not included in the proposed rule. For the SNUR for P16– 273 and 274 the Order erroneously references in the preamble a requirement to import the chemicals in totes. However, this is not a requirement of the Order. Therefore, EPA did not include that requirement for the final SNUR for P–16–273 and 274. 
(e). Human Health, Environmental 
Hazard, Exposure, and Precautionary Statements 
Comment: One commenter noted 
inconsistencies between the hazard communication statements that would be required by the proposed SNURs and those required in the corresponding 5(e) Orders. 
For P–14–0496, the SNUR is missing 
the ‘‘disposal restrictions apply’’ warning specified at 40 CFR 721.72(g)(4)(i). This warning is required by the underlying 5(e) Order for PMNs P14–0472 and P14–0496. For P–17– 0272, the SNUR is missing the precautionary statement for developmental effects (40 CFR 721.72(g)(1)(vi)). This statement is required by the 5(e) Order for P–17– 0272 through –0277. Given that each of these precautionary statements is required by the corresponding Orders, they must be included in the final SNURs. 
Response: This is an oversight and is 
corrected in the final SNURs for these substances. 
Comment: The same commenter 
noted that for two of the proposed SNURs associated with the Order for P– 17–33 through P–17140, the proposed SNURs are lacking a requirement for three hazards statements: Toxic to fish (40 CFR 721.72(g)(3)(i)), toxic to aquatic organisms (40 CFR 721.72(g)(3)(ii)), and disposal restrictions apply (40 CFR 721.72(g)(4)(i)). The two SNURs are for certain halogenated sodium benzoate 
salts, 40 CFR 721.11053, and certain halogenated sodium benzoic acids, 40 CFR 721.11054. Because the Order applies to multiple substances and redacts certain information (likely health and safety information not eligible for redaction under TSCA section 14), it is not possible for the public to know whether the hazard statements are or are not required for the chemicals subject to the SNURs noted above. EPA should ensure that there are no inconsistencies between the requirements of the SNURs and the Order for these chemicals. 
Response: The hazard statements 
identified by the commenter only apply to the chemicals subject to the SNUR in 40 CFR 721.11055. Those hazard statements are not required in the Order for the chemicals subject to the SNUR in 40 CFR 721.11053 and 11054. EPA will finalize those requirements as proposed. 
(f). Additional Errors in the Proposed 
SNURs 
Comment: For P–17–33 through P– 
17–140, there are three separate SNURs that cover the many chemicals covered by that one Order. One commenter noted that the SNUR for sodium benzoate salts states that a significant new use is any use other than those allowed in the Order, which is applicable to all of the substances P–17– 33 through P–17–140 (to be codified at 40 CFR 721.11053(a)(2)(iii)) (citing 40 CFR 721.80(k)). This restriction, the commenter continues, is not specified 
in the other two SNURs (to be codified at 40 CFR 721.11054(a)(2)(iii), 721.11055(a)(2)(iii)), and EPA must fix this error and ensure that each proposed SNUR contains all of the restrictions governing the relevant chemicals that appear in the Order. 
Response: The requirement cited in 
40 CFR 11053(a)(2)(iii) for 40 CFR 721.80(k) was erroneously included in the proposed SNUR. The Order for P17– 33 through P17–140 does not include a restriction on use. EPA has removed this requirement from the final SNUR. 
Comment: Additionally, the 
commenter noted that P–16–352 had one Order covering two separate chemicals, with each having a proposed SNUR. The volume limitation set in the Order was for the substances combined. One commenter noted that both proposed SNURs contained errors. First, the combined volume limits set in § 721.11039 are incorrect because it cites itself twice—‘‘this substance and the substance subject to 721.11039’’— instead of citing itself and the other PMN substance at § 721.11040. 83 FR at

37725. Second, § 721.11040 cites to an 
incorrect SNUR, ‘‘§ 721.9998,’’ for its combined volume limit, when it should cite to the other PMN substance at section 721.11039 Id. EPA must ensure 
that the combined volume limitations in the final SNURs are correct. 
Response: EPA has corrected the 
cross-references in the final rule to the correct SNUR. 
Chemical Identity Correction: SNUR for 
P–17–278 Through P–17–280 (40 CFR 721.11058) 
EPA has modified the generic 
chemical identity from ‘‘fatty acid amide alkyl amine salts’’ in the proposed rule to ‘‘fatty acid derived imidazoline salts’’ for the SNUR for P– 17–278 through P–17–280 (40 CFR 721.11058), to agree with the generic name provided in the Notice of Commencement of Manufacture or Import (NOC) submitted for these PMN substances. 
Comments Specific to the Proposed 
SNUR at 40 CFR 721.11027: Aluminum Cobalt Lithium Nickel Oxide (PMN P– 15–0450; CASRN 177997–13–6) 
Comment: Four entities commented 
on the SNUR for PMN P–15–450 (40 
CFR 721.11027), aluminum cobalt lithium nickel oxide. One commenter suggested a different approach for control of air releases, rather than the proposed significant new use of any release of the chemical substance to air unless using the chemical transfer and air ventilation processes described in the PMN, including filtering through a high-efficiency particulate air filter with an efficiency rate of 99.99%. The commenter requested making the provision technology neutral instead, and exposure monitoring requirement more flexible (quarterly rather than monthly). The commenter states that there could be different processes to handle and transfer the PMN substance, and control resulting air emissions, that will provide an equivalent or even improved level of control. For example, the commenter continued, there are control technologies that may have a removal efficiency rating of 99.99% that are not the high-efficiency particulate filters mentioned in the PMN. Therefore, a specific control technology does not need to be identified, but rather a specific rated efficiency (99.99%) or control target. 
Response: The proposed SNUR 
provisions reflect the requirements of the underlying Order. In the proposed SNUR air releases are allowed only after the chemical transfer and air ventilation provisions described in the PMN which are not limited to but include HEPA filters that achieve 99.99% removal 
efficiency. This requirement remains in the final SNUR. The reason to include the lack of this control in the SNUR is to allow EPA to assess if other processes result in the same level of or lower air releases. 
Comment: A commenter proposed a 
flexible monitoring schedule in lieu of mandatory monthly monitoring. The commenter noted that OSHA has addressed monitoring frequency to assess worker exposure. Section 6(b) of the OSHA Act gives OSHA authority to develop chemical specific standards. One such standard is 29 CFR 1910.1026 Chromium (VI). The OSHA Chromium (VI) workplace standard contains a flexible monitoring requirement based on results from initial monitoring. If initial monitoring indicates that employee exposures are below 50% (action level) of the determined limit, no further monitoring is required unless changes in the workplace result in new or additional exposures. If the initial determination reveals employee exposures to be at or above the action level, but below the determined limit, periodic monitoring must be performed at least every six months. If the initial monitoring reveals employee exposures to be above the determined limit, monitoring must be conducted at least every three months. Adjustments to the monitoring frequency are allowed based on monitoring results. The preamble of the OSHA 1910.1026 Chromium (VI), P. 10341, states, ‘‘ OSHA believes that the 
frequency of six months for subsequent periodic monitoring for exposures at or above the action level but at or below the PEL, and three months for exposures above the PEL, provides intervals that are both practical for employers and protective for employees. This belief is supported by OSHA’s experience with comparable monitoring intervals in other standards, including those for cadmium (29 CFR 1910.1050), methylene chloride (29 CFR 1910.1052), and formaldehyde (29 CFR 1910.1048). ’’ 
Based on OSHA’s position given above, the commenter noted, it could be concluded that there are no benefits to worker protection in conducting monitoring more frequently than every 3 months, even when previous exposures exceeded exposure limits. The monthly monitoring is resource intensive and is likely to demonstrate the same results each month therefore providing minimal value. The commenter requested that EPA allow this periodic monitoring to occur on a quarterly basis, instead of monthly. 
Response: Based on limited 
monitoring experience with the PMN substance, EPA believes monthly monitoring requirements as specified in 
the proposed SNUR are appropriate during the first year of manufacturing, processing, or use. After that time monitoring may be conducted quarterly if certain conditions are met. These are based on the requirements in the Order. Based on monitoring results EPA has received thus far for P–15–450, which have demonstrated monitoring results above and below the action level of 0.16 mg/m
3identified in the Order, the final 
SNUR will retain the same requirements as required in the Order. 
Comment: A commenter noted that 
5(e) Orders on similar substances to that identified in P–15–450 allow metal reclamation disposal, whereas the Order for P–15–450 allows only landfill disposal. 
Response: In response to the comment 
about allowing disposal by metal reclamation, the Agency would need to review the specific metal reclamation disposal method to determine its acceptability to allow more flexibility in disposal methods. Because the 
underlying Order only allows disposal by landfill, the final rule only allows disposal by landfill. 
Comment: One commenter pointed 
out that the reference to 40 CFR 721.63(a)(6) (referring to ‘‘particulate’’) in this SNUR should be corrected to read ‘‘40 CFR 721.63(a)(6)(i)’’ (referring to ‘‘dust’’). 
Response: The proposed SNUR term 
40 CFR 721.63(a)(6) (referencing ‘‘particulate’’) reflects the requirement in the Order for P–15–450. Particulate allows for both liquid and solid particles which includes dust. The final rule retains the reference to particulate. 
Comment 5: A commenter also 
requested that the SNUR not be finalized until a recently submitted 90- day inhalation toxicity study on the PMN substance is reviewed by EPA, as the testing could affect EPA’s underlying hazard concerns. 
Response: The Agency has received 
and is currently reviewing the 90-day study data described by the commenter. Preliminary indications are that the results of the study would not change the Agency’s hazard concerns, or significantly alter the magnitude of the NCEL identified in the SNUR. It will take considerable time to determine if the study data will result in any changes for the Order and SNUR. EPA is issuing the final SNUR as proposed and will modify the Order and SNUR in the future based on the study data as appropriate. 
Comment: Other comments to this 
proposed SNUR are that the references to ‘‘24 months’’ and ‘‘6 years’’ for production limits (40 CFR 721.80(p)) are

unclear, and that the NCEL of 0.000092 
mg/m3as an 8-hour time weighted 
average doesn’t take into account OSHA PELs on the component metals. 
Response: In response to the comment 
regarding the time-based production limits in the SNUR, the time limits refer to the time after a manufacturer begins manufacture of the PMN substance. To exceed that time limit, a SNUN would need to be submitted and complete 90- day review by EPA. The NCEL for this chemical substance was established by EPA based on a 90-day inhalation study for a mixed metal oxide analogue. EPA’s risk assessment for P–15–0450 in the public docket describes how the NCEL was calculated for the PMN substance based on the 90-day lowest observed adverse effect concentration (LOAEC). The analogue and data were identified by the submitter of P–15–450. As 
discussed in the previous comment and response EPA has received a 90-day inhalation study for P–15–450, that it is still reviewing and that confirms the potential hazard and a similar LOAEC. Based on the results of both studies EPA disagrees that OSHA PELs for the component metals should be used to estimate the potential effect levels of the PMN substance. 
Comment: One commenter stated that 
the proposed SNUR for P–15–450 also would require monitoring and reporting for exposures to this chemical at an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of 0.16 mg/m
3on an 8-hour TWA and is 
silent about how this should be sampled and measured. 
Response: The SNUR references the 
terms of the Order that include parameters for how the monitoring should be sampled and measured. The submitter for P–15–450 has already submitted monitoring results required by the Order. 
Comment: A commenter stated that 
the proposed NCEL presented no relief to the use of APF 1000 respirators, because there is currently no feasible monitoring method to reliably detect any constituent of the chemical mixture at that level of sensitivity. 
Response: While the commenter is 
correct, persons manufacturing, processing, and using the chemical substance may eventually be able to develop such a detection method or develop information that would increase the level of the NCEL that would allow a detection method to be developed. 
Vertebrate Testing 
Comment: A commenter noted that 
TSCA section 4(h)(3) states: ‘‘IN GENERAL.—Any person developing information for submission under this title on a voluntary basis and not 
pursuant to any request or requirement by the Administrator shall first attempt to develop the information by means of an alternative test method or strategy . . . before conducting new vertebrate animal testing.’’ The commenter continued that while EPA is not required to review the means by which these submitters conducted this voluntary testing, it is authorized to do so, and that reviewing compliance with this section is an opportunity to communicate TSCA’s requirement and EPA’s preference for alternatives to PMN submitters. Over time, the commenter states, this would lead submitters to consider such alternatives before conducting vertebrate animal tests. They requested that EPA review compliance with TSCA section 4(h)(3) whenever the results of vertebrate animal testing are included in PMNs. 
Response: A request to review 
compliance with TSCA 4(h)(3) for PMNs and Orders is not relevant to the proposed SNUR. Because SNURs do not require testing and only suggest the type of information that could address hazards identified by EPA, they include opportunities for EPA to engage submitters considering conducting testing. For SNURs with time or production volume limits, or if a SNUN submitter is required to conduct testing EPA, will include consideration of TSCA section 4(h)(3). When a company consults with EPA before submitting any SNUN as recommended by EPA when issuing SNURs, EPA will also have an opportunity to consider what testing if any should be conducted including consideration of TSCA section 4(h)(3). 
Ongoing Uses of SNUR Chemicals 
Comment: One commenter stated 
there is reason to believe that some of the restrictions set forth in the following SNURs conflict with ongoing uses: P– 17–33, P–17–34, P–17–36, P–17–38, P– 17–39, P–17–41, P–17–42, P–17–43, P– 17–45, P–17–47, P–17–50, P–17–52, P– 17–55, P–17–57, P–17–59, P–17–61, P– 17–62, and P–17–63. 
Response: EPA did not receive any 
further information to support this statement and therefore has finalized the SNURs as proposed. 
V. Substances Subject to This Rule 
EPA is establishing significant new 
use and recordkeeping requirements for 145 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 (if assigned for non- confidential chemical identities). 
•Basis for the TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order. 
•Information identified by EPA that 
would help characterize the potential health and/or environmental effects of the chemical substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use designated by the SNUR. This information may include testing required in a TSCA section 5(e) Order to be conducted by the PMN submitter, as well as testing not required to be conducted but which would also help characterize the potential health and/or environmental effects of the PMN substance. Any recommendation for information identified by EPA was made based on EPA’s consideration of available screening-level data, if any, as well as other available information on appropriate testing for the chemical substance. Further, any such testing identified by EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was made after consideration of available toxicity information, computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high- throughput screening methods and their 
prediction models. EPA also recognizes that whether testing/further information is needed will depend on the specific exposure and use scenario in the SNUN. EPA encourages all SNUN submitters to contact EPA to discuss any potential future testing. See Unit VIII. for more information. 
•CFR citation assigned in the 
regulatory text section of this rule. 
The regulatory text section of each 
rule specifies the activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including exceedance of 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. 
These final rules include 145 PMN 
substances that are subject to 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 Orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The SNURs identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243273 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
distribution in commerce, or disposal 
that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). 
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) 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) 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 that 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) Order for the same chemical substance. 
PMN Numbers: P–14–472 and P–14–496 
Chemical names: Polyphosphoric

CAS numbers: Not available. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
Order: April 26, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMN states that the generic (non- confidential) uses of the PMN substances are as a site-controlled intermediate (P–14–472) and a paper additive (P–14–496). Based on Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis of test data on acrylates/methacrylates, and other structurally similar substances, 
there is potential for irritation and sensitization for P–14–472. For P–14– 496 there is concern for sensitization based on the presence of formaldehyde and concern for irritation and lung effects from the surfactant properties of the substance. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous phosphates, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 3 parts per billion (ppb) of P–14–472 and 4 ppb of P–14–496 in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(i), based on a finding that the available information is 
insufficient to permit a reasoned evaluation of the human health effects of the PMN substances. Further, the Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(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 Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment to prevent dermal exposure. 
3. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). 
4. No release of the PMN substances 
resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 3 ppb for P– 14–472 and 4 ppb for P–14–496. 
5. No modification of the 
manufacturing process that results in inhalation exposure and no use involving application methods that generate a dust, mist, or aerosol. 
6. Use of the PMN substances only as 
a site-limited intermediate (P–14–472) and the confidential use specified in the Order (P–14–496). 
The SNUR would designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that certain information about the fate and human health toxicity of the PMN substances may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substances in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing a skin sensitization study and a biodegradation test on each 
substance. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a pulmonary effects testing of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in 
characterizing the health effects of the PMN substances. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request.

CAS number: 340181–06–8. 
Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
Order: May 10, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMN states that the substance will be used as a pigment for liquid coatings solvent based system; a pigment for powder coatings; and a pigment for polymer materials. Based on test data and physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified concerns for lung effects, including fibrosis. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of a National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified respirator with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of at least 10 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposures) or compliance with a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) of 2.4 milligram/meter
3(mg/m3) 
as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 
3. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.

significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a chronic toxicity/ carcinogenicity test of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request.

Order: March 23, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMN states that the substance will be used as a mixed metal oxide for batteries. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA identified concerns for spleen and kidney toxicity. Based on physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified concerns for lung effects based on lung overload. Based on the crystalline structure of the PMN substance, EPA identified concern for lung carcinogenicity. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) 
described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the time limit as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves and protective clothing (where there is a potential for dermal exposures). 
3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator 
with an APF of at least 1,000 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.000092 ppm as an 8-hour time- weighted average. 
4. Use of the chemical transfer 
processes and air ventilation processes described in the PMN and the exposure monitoring requirements described in the Order. 
5. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 
6. Disposal of the PMN substance by 
landfill only. Air releases are limited by processes described in the PMN, including filtering through a high- efficiency particulate air filter with an efficiency rate of 99.99%. 
The SNUR will designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that certain information about the human health toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the time limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing and carcinogenicity testing. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of medical monitoring of the workers exposed to the substance during manufacturing, processing, and use may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this medical monitoring, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request.

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
Order: April 6, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMN states that the substance will be used as an agricultural soil amendment for field crops, agricultural soil amendment for turf applications and direct soil injection with fertilizers, and a compound to be used in preparation of advanced seed coatings. Based on SAR analysis of test data on structurally similar respirable particles, EPA has identified concerns for lung effects, including lung overload. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. The Order was also issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(II) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a finding that the substance that the substance is or will be produced in substantial quantities and that the substance either enters or may reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial quantities, or there is or may be significant (or substantial) human exposure to the substance. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the time limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 
3. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 
4. Manufacture of the substance with 
a particulate size greater than 30 microns. 
The SNUR will designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that certain information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to manufacture beyond a certain time limit without performing an acute aquatic toxicity test. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of specific target organ toxicity testing of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order’s restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request.

evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. EPA assessed risks based on the specific processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 
2. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator 
with an APF of at least 10 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure). (EPA’s estimates indicate that variations of the parameters (including batch size, number of processing sites, days per year of operation) of the uses identified below would not result in inhalation exposure that would indicate a different respirator.) 
3. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 
4. No domestic manufacture of the 
PMN substance. 
5. Import of the PMN substance at or

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
Order: March 22, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMNs state that the generic (non- confidential) use of the substances are for monitoring of oil/gas well performance. Based on test data on an analog, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive, developmental and neuro- toxicity, as well as lung toxicity and dermal irritation. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect 
against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the production volume limit 
as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 
3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator 
with an APF of at least 50 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.0184 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 
4. Use of processes, process 
equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices specified in the Order for manufacturing and processing. 
5. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 
6. No manufacture or process of the 
PMN substances beyond a confidential annual production volume specified in the Order. 
The SNUR will designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that certain information 
about the human health toxicity of the PMN substances may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substances in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing on P–17–0091.

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 
Order: March 22, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMNs state that the substances are for monitoring oil/gas well performance. Based on test data on an analog, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive, developmental and neuro- toxicity, as well as lung toxicity and dermal irritation. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 15 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMNs. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of certain toxicity 
testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the production volume limit as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 
3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator 
with an APF of at least 1,000 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.0184 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 
4. Use of processes, process 
equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices specified in the Order for manufacturing and processing. 
5. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 6. No manufacture or process of the 
PMN substances beyond a confidential annual production volume specified in the Order. 
7. No release of the PMN substances 
resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 15 ppb. 
The SNUR will designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. 
Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that certain information about the human health and aquatic toxicity of the PMN substances may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substances in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing specific target organ toxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity testing on P–17–127; specific target organ toxicity testing on P–17– 101; and acute aquatic toxicity testing on both P–17–101 and P–17–127.

Order: April 27, 2017. 
Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMN states the generic (non- confidential) use of the substance will be as a catalyst in a closed process. Based on physical/chemical properties of the substance and test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for dermal and respiratory irritation, corrosion, developmental toxicity, and lung effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to 
make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Submission of glove permeation 
testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the production volume limit as specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 
3. Establishment and use of a hazard 
communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 
4. No domestic manufacture of the 
PMN substance. 
5. No use in any manner or method 
where there is potential for inhalation exposure. 
6. Use of the PMN substance in a 
closed system as specified in the PMN. 
The SNUR will designate as a 
‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measure. 
Potentially useful information: EPA 
has determined that the results of glove permeability testing will help characterize the effectiveness of protective measures to mitigate human health risk of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to manufacture beyond a certain time period without performing glove permeability testing.

Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: 
The PMNs state that the generic (non- confidential) use of the substances will be as a component in asphalt emulsion. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances, EPA has identified concerns for dermal and respiratory irritation, corrosion, developmental toxicity, systemic effect, sensitization and lung effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human 
health and environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 
1. Use of the PMN substances only for 
the use specified in the Order. 
2. Use of personal protective 
equipment for workers exposed dermally to the PMN substances (including impervious gloves, chemical goggles or equivalent eye protection and clothing which covers any other exposed areas of the arms and torso). 
3. No modification of the 
manufacture, process or use of the PMN substances if it results in inhalation exposure to vapor, dust, mist or aerosol. 
4. Establishment and use of a hazard

VI. 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 all 145 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) Orders requiring the use of appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. 
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 regards 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 either determine 
that the prospective manufacture or processing is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, or to take necessary regulatory action associated with any other determination, before the described significant new use of the chemical substance occurs. 
•EPA will identify as significant new 
uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). 
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 
substance does not signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243286 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
(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. 
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 a 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 all the chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders from undertaking activities which will be designated as significant new uses. The identities of 38 of the 145 chemical substances subject to this rule have been claimed as confidential and EPA has received one post-PMN bona fide submission (per 
§§ 720.25 and 721.11) for a chemical substance covered by this action. 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. 
EPA designated August 1, 2018 (the 
date of public release of the proposed rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA’s approach has been to ensure that a person could not defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use before the effective date of the final rule. 
In the unlikely event that a person 
began commercial manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use identified as of August 1, 2018, that person will have to cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons will have to first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are 
required with that determination. 
VIII. Development and Submission of 
Information 
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 
does not require developing any particular new information ( e.g., 
generating test data) before submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, order or consent agreement under TSCA section 4 (15 U.S.C. 2603), then TSCA section 5(b)(1)(A) (15 U.S.C. 2604(b)(1)(A)) requires such information to be submitted to EPA at the time of submission of the SNUN. 
In the absence of a rule, order, or 
consent agreement under TSCA section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required only to submit information in their possession or control and to describe any other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists potentially useful information for all SNURs listed here. Descriptions of this information is provided for informational purposes. The potentially useful information identified in Unit IV. will be useful to EPA’s evaluation in the event that someone submits a SNUN for the significant new use. Companies who are considering submitting a SNUN are encouraged, but not required, to develop the information on the substance, which 
may assist with EPA’s analysis of the SNUN. 
EPA strongly encourages persons, 
before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation with the Agency on the use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h). 
In certain of the TSCA section 5(e) 
Orders for 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 specified tests that would permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these chemical substances. Under recent TSCA section 5(e) Orders, each PMN submitter is required to submit each study at least 14 weeks (earlier TSCA section 5(e) Orders required submissions at least 12 weeks) before reaching the specified production limit. The SNURs contain the same production volume limits as the TSCA section 5(e) 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. 
Any request by EPA for the triggered 
and pended testing described in the Orders was made based on EPA’s consideration of available screening- level data, if any, as well as other available information on appropriate testing for the PMN substances. Further, any such testing request on the part of EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was made after consideration of available toxicity information, computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high-throughput screening methods and their prediction models. 
The potentially useful information 
identified 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 or other information may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f). EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be able to conduct the appropriate tests. 
SNUN submitters should be aware 
that EPA will be better able to evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following: 
•Human exposure and 
environmental release that may result from the significant new use of the chemical substances. 
•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 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243287 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
required to keep this information 
confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, at § 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– 2017–0366. 
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 and 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, Regulatory Support Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460–0001. Please remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but do not submit any completed forms to this address. 
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ), the Agency hereby 
certifies that promulgation of this SNUR will not have a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any person (including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any activity described in the final rule as a ‘‘significant new use.’’ Because these uses are ‘‘new,’’ based on all information currently available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities presently engage in such activities. A SNUR requires that any person who intends to engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by submitting a SNUN. Although some small entities may decide to pursue a significant new use in the future, EPA cannot presently determine how many, if any, there may be. However, EPA’s experience to date is that, in response to the promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 18 in FY2018 and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by 
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying with this SNUR are not expected to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of small entities. In a SNUR that published in the Federal 
Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:51 Aug 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20AUR2.SGM 20AUR2jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with RULES243288 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 20, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
(FRL–5597–1), the Agency presented its 
general determination that final SNURs are not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, which was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. 
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
(UMRA) 
Based on EPA’s experience with 
proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this action. As such, EPA has determined that this action does not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. ). 
E. Executive Order 13132 
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).
