1856 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices 

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.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: With this document, EPA is 

announcing the availability of and 

opening the 60-day public comment 

period for several draft chemical risk 

assessments. These draft risk 

assessments address five of the initial 

seven chemicals from the Agency’s 

TSCA Work Plan identified on March 1, 

2012, for assessment during 2012. The 

chemicals are antimony trioxide, 

methylene chloride, nmethylpyrrolidone, trichloroethylene, 

and 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8,- 

hexamethylcyclopenta[g]-2-benzopyran. 

Methylene chloride and nmethylpyrrolidone are included in a 

single docket because both assessments 

will be addressed by the same peer 

review panel. EPA is also asking the 

public for nominations of expert peer 

reviewers and to submit names with 

contact information (full name, address, 

affiliation, telephone, and email) within 

30 days of the opening of this public 

comment period. The nominations of 

expert peer reviewers from the public 

will be relayed to the independent peer 

review contractor setting up the 

individual peer review panels. Public 

comments submitted on these draft risk 

assessments will be included in 

materials submitted to peer review 

panels for their reviews of the 

assessments after this public comment 

period closes. 

DATES: Comments for nominations of 

peer reviewers must be received on or 

before February 8, 2013 and comments 

on the draft assessments and the charge 

questions for the external peer reviews 

must be received on or before March 11,

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 comment 

throughout this process through a nonregulatory docket created for this 

activity, EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0516, 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 9, 2013 / Notices 1857 

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 Comment 

Opportunity: 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. The detailed Peer 

Review Plans for the draft assessments 

are accessible through the Agency’s Peer 

Review Agenda Web site at http:// 

cfpub.epa.gov/si/ 

si_public_pr_agenda.cfm. EPA will 

consider comments received from the 

public and the subsequent peer review 

when finalizing the individual chemical 

risk assessments and will describe in a 

written report how EPA addressed 

public and reviewer comments in the
