have been imposed, as in special review actions.

EPA’s existing stocks policy (56 FR 29362) provides that: ‘‘If a registrant requests to voluntarily cancel a registration where the Agency has identified no particular risk concerns, the registrant has complied with all applicable conditions of reregistration, conditional registration, and data call ins, and the registration is not subject to a Registration Standard, Label Improvement Program, or reregistration decision, the Agency will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after the cancellation request was received. Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted.’’

Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. The effective date of this cancellation is January 9, 2013. The cancellation order that is the subject of this notice includes the following existing stock provisions:

The registrant may sell and distribute existing stocks of the product listed in Table 1 until January 9, 2014. Persons other than the registrant may sell and distribute existing stocks of the product listed in Table 1 until exhausted. Use of the product listed in Table 1 may continue until existing stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled product.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders including those interested in environmental and human health; the chemical industry; chemical users; consumer product companies and members of the public interested in the assessment of chemical risks. Since others also may be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. II. What authorities apply to this action?

In the Agency’s February 2012 TSCA Work Plan Chemicals Methods Document (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/ existingchemicals/pubs/ wpmethods.pdf), released to the public on March 1, 2012, EPA described the two-step process the Agency used to identify potential candidate chemicals for near-term review and assessment under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq. ). The Agency announced its intent to use the TSCA Work Plan to help focus and direct the activities of the Existing Chemicals Program in the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). EPA also identified an initial group of seven of the Work Plan Chemicals to begin assessment in 2012. EPA invited public commentthroughout this process through a nonregulatory docket created for this activity, EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0516,


### 1857 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices

which can be accessed online at http://www.regulations.gov.

As described in the Methods Document, EPA notes that identification of a chemical as a TSCA Work Plan Chemical does not itself constitute a finding by the Agency that the chemical presents a risk to human health or the environment. Rather, identification of a chemical as a TSCA Work Plan Chemical indicates only that the Agency intends to consider it for further review.
III. What action is the agency taking?

EPA is announcing the availability of and opening the public comment period for the following draft chemical risk assessments. EPA also invites comments on whether there are other uses that may result in high potential consumer exposures EPA should consider as future assessment and/or collection priorities for these chemicals. This unit identifies the individual draft chemical risk assessments by title, docket ID number, and chemical or chemicals covered. Use the specific docket ID number provided in this unit to locate a copy of the chemical-specific document, as well as to submit comments via http:// www.regulations.gov.
A. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2012–0722

Title: Availability of Draft Chemical Risk Assessments; Public CommentOpportunity: 1,3,4,6,7,8-Hexahydro4,6,6,7,8,8,-hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2- benzopyran (HHCB) (CASRN 1222–05– 5).

Chemical Covered: 1,3,4,6,7,8- Hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8,- hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyran (HHCB; CASRN 1222–05–5).

Summary: HHCB is a synthetic polycyclic musk used as an ingredient in a wide range of consumer products including perfumes, cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning agents. The draft assessment focuses on environmental risk due to release of HHCB to the aquatic and terrestrial environment from all combined uses. Human health risks have been evaluated previously and are summarized in this draft assessment.

For HHCB, EPA is asking for nominations of peer reviewers who are experts in the following areas: Aquatic ecotoxicology, terrestrial ecotoxicology, fate and biodegradation, fate and bioaccumulation, environmental risk assessment (aquatic and terrestrial), and analytical chemistry of organic waste water contaminants. B. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2012–0723

Title: Availability of Draft Chemical Risk Assessments; Public Comment Opportunity: Trichloroethylene (CASRN 79–01–6).

Chemicals Covered: Trichloroethylene (TCE; CASRN 79–01–6).

Summary: The draft assessment focuses on uses of TCE as a degreaser and in consumer products used by individuals in the arts/crafts field. Given the range of endpoints (cancer; non-cancer, including potential effects on the developing fetus), the susceptible populations addressed are children and adults of all ages (including pregnant women). Thus, the draft assessment focuses on all human lifestages.

For TCE, EPA is asking for nominations of peer reviewers who are experts in the following areas: Toxicology of TCE (developmental cardiotoxicity, immunotoxicology, reproductive toxicology, and cancer biology), expertise in physiologically based pharmaco-kinetics modeling for TCE, exposure of volatile organics, experts on use of volatiles as solvent degreasers and in the arts/crafts field, chemical/environmental risk assessment experts, experts familiar with environmental release data (i.e., TRI, NEI) and associated modeling/ interpretation.
C. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2012–0724

Title: Availability of Draft Chemical Risk Assessments; Public Comment Opportunity: Antimony Trioxide (CASRN 1309–64–4).

Chemical Covered: Antimony trioxide (ATO; CASRN 1309–64–4).

Summary: This draft assessment focuses on the ecological hazards that may be associated with ATO use in flame retardants. Human health risks for the flame retardant use have been evaluated previously and are summarized in this draft assessment. Because ATO use in plastics was previously evaluated for human health and the environment, that use scenario is not evaluated here.

For ATO, EPA is asking for nominations of peer reviewers who are experts in the following areas: Exposure modeling, aquatic ecotoxicology, terrestrial ecotoxicology, inorganic chemistry addressing water and sediment issues, and ground water.
D. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2012–0725

Title: Availability of Draft Chemical Risk Assessments; Public Comment Opportunity: Methylene Chloride (dichloromethane, DCM; CASRN 75– 09–2) and N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP; CASRN 872–50–4).

Chemicals Covered: Methylene Chloride (dichloromethane, DCM;CASRN 75–09–2) and NMethylpyrrolidone (NMP; CASRN 872– 50–4).

Summary: These related draft assessments focus on the use of DCM and NMP in paint stripping and will be addressed by the same peer review panel. With regard to DCM, the draft assessment focuses on inhalation exposure to consumers and workers, and addresses human health concerns for both cancer and non-cancer effects. The low concern for environmental effects of DCM is discussed in the draft assessment. With regard to NMP, the draft assessment focuses on inhalation and dermal exposure to consumers and workers. The low concern for environmental effects of NMP is discussed in the draft assessment.

For DCM and NMP, EPA is asking for nominations of peer reviewers who are experts in the following areas: Inhalation toxicology, toxicokinetics/ PBPK modeling, dermal toxicology, neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, cancer biology, expertise in U.S. consumer modeling (inhalation and dermal), expertise in occupational exposure assessment (inhalation and dermal) especially as related to volatile organic chemicals.

The draft risk assessments on the two remaining chemicals from the initial group of seven Work Plan chemicals scheduled to begin assessment in 2012—the long- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins—are on a different schedule for completion and will be made available for public comment through another Federal Register notice issued on a later date. V. What is the next step?

The list of candidate peer reviewers, those nominated by the public as well as those identified by a contractor, will be made available in the Federal Register for public comment. After a 30- day comment period, informed by any comments, the contractor will select the peer reviewers.
