Consulting, Inc. of 3037 Little Haven Road, Virginia Beach, VA will assist the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) in the assessment of the current processes and assessment approaches used by OPPT to implement section 5 of TSCA, with the long term goal of implementing changes that result in significant resource savings without decreasing scientific integrity. The purpose of this critical assessment will be to assess the quality of scientific, engineering, and other technical foundations of the program. They will also assist in identifying what changes could be made to enable OPPT to more efficiently, effectively and collaboratively manage the potential risks of new chemicals.

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.306(j), EPA has determined that under contract number GS–10F–0261M, project number EPA DOI–FCG FY2014–26, T.A. Consulting, Inc. will require access to CBI submitted to EPA under all section(s) of TSCA to perform successfully the duties specified under the contract. Warren Muir and John Young will be given access to information submitted to EPA under all section(s) of TSCA. Some of the information may be claimed or determined to be CBI.

EPA is issuing this notice to inform all submitters of information under all sections of TSCA that EPA may provide Warren Muir and John Young access to these CBI materials on a need-to-know basis only. All access to TSCA CBI under this contract will take place at EPA Headquarters in accordance with EPA’s TSCA CBI Protection Manual.

Access to TSCA data, including CBI, will continue until June 18, 2015. If the contract is extended, this access will also continue for the duration of the extended contract without further notice.

Warren Muir and John Young will be required to sign nondisclosure agreements and will be briefed on appropriate security procedures before they are permitted access to TSCA CBI.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** 

### :
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action. B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ comments.html. II. What action is the Agency taking?

This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the period from October 6, 2014 to October 30, 2014, and consists of the PMNs pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period. III. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action?

Section 5 of TSCA requires that EPA periodical publish in the Federal Register receipt and status reports, which cover the following EPA activities required by provisions of TSCA section 5.

EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical or a ‘‘new’’ chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA


## 73298 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 10, 2014 / Notices

Inventory is classified as a ‘‘new chemical,’’ while those that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ‘‘existing chemical.’’ For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/ newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to manufacture or import anew chemical substance for a nonexempt commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, which is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/ oppt/newchems.

Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to manufacture those chemicals. IV. Receipt and Status Reports

In Table I. of this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent that such information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs received by EPA during this period: The EPA case number assigned to the PMN, the date the PMN was received by EPA, the projected end date for EPA’s review of the PMN, the submitting manufacturer/ importer, the potential uses identified by the manufacturer/importer in the PMN, and the chemical identity.
