RIN 2070–AJ04

TSCA Inventory Nomenclature for 

Enzymes and Proteins; Extension of 

Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPR); extension of 

comment period.

SUMMARY: This document extends the 

public comment period established for 

the ANPR in the Federal Register issued 

on November 15, 2004 (69 FR 65565). In 

that ANPR, EPA alerted stakeholders 

that it was considering changing 

procedures and requirements for 

naming enzymes and proteins for the 

purpose of listing those substances on 

the TSCA Inventory. More specifically, 

the ANPR outlined four identification 

elements that EPA currently believes are 

appropriate for use in developing 

unique TSCA Inventory nomenclature 

for proteinaceous enzymes. The ANPR 

also solicited public comment on 

several specific questions relating to the 

initiative.

DATES: Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number OPPT–2003–

0058, must be received on or before 

January 30, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed 

instructions as provided under 

ADDRESSES in the Federal Register

document of November 15, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

affected by this action. If you have 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the person listed under the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies 

of this Document and Other Related 

Information

II. What Action is EPA taking?

This document extends the public 

comment period established in the 

Federal Register issued on November 

15, 2004 (69 FR 65565) (FRL–7342–2). 

In that document, EPA alerted 

stakeholders that it was considering 

changing procedures and requirements 

for naming enzymes and proteins for the 

purpose of listing those substances on 

the TSCA Inventory. EPA is hereby 

extending the comment period, which 

was set to end on December 15, 2004, 

to January 30, 2005.

III. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action?

Section 8(b) of TSCA requires EPA to 

‘‘compile, keep current, and publish a 

list of each chemical substance which is 

manufactured or processed in the 

United States’’ (the TSCA Inventory). In 

order to fulfill this requirement, EPA 

must continuously update and keep 

current various types of information, 

including, but not limited to, the 

information used to identify any new 

chemical substance that is reported to 

be manufactured or processed in the 

United States. EPA must also make 

corrections, when necessary, of 

previously reported information on the 

TSCA Inventory.

IV. Do Any Statutory and Executive 

Order Reviews Apply to this Action?

No. This action is not a rulemaking, 

it merely extends the date by which 

public comments must be submitted to 

EPA for an ANPR that previously 

published in the Federal Register of 

November 15, 2004 (69 FR 65565). For 

information about the applicability of 

the regulatory assessment requirements 

to the ANPR, please refer to the 

discussion in Unit IV. of that document 

(69 FR 65565).

Proposed Flood Elevation 

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Technical information or 

comments are requested on the 

proposed Base (1% annual chance) 

Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed 

BFE modifications for the communities 

listed below. The BFEs are the basis for 

the floodplain management measures 

that the community is required either to 

adopt or to show evidence of being 

already in effect in order to qualify or 

remain qualified for participation in the 

National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP).

DATES: The comment period is ninety 

(90) days following the second 

publication of this proposed rule in a 

newspaper of local circulation in each 

community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed BFEs for each 

community are available for inspection 

at the office of the Chief Executive 

Officer of each community. The 

respective addresses are listed in the 

table below.

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2004 / Proposed Rules 75497

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make determinations of 

BFEs and modified BFEs for each 

community listed below, in accordance 

with Section 110 of the Flood Disaster 

Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, 

and 44 CFR 67.4(a). 

These proposed base flood and 

modified BFEs, together with the 

floodplain management criteria required 

by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that 

are required. They should not be 

construed to mean that the community 

must change any existing ordinances 

that are more stringent in their 

floodplain management requirements. 

The community may at any time enact 

stricter requirements of its own, or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State or regional entities. These 

proposed elevations are used to meet 

the floodplain management 

requirements of the NFIP and are also 

used to calculate the appropriate flood 

insurance premium rates for new 

buildings built after these elevations are 

made final, and for the contents in these 

buildings. 

National Environmental Policy Act.

This proposed rule is categorically 

excluded from the requirements of 44 

CFR part 10, Environmental 

Consideration. No environmental 

impact assessment has been prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Mitigation Division Director of the 

Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Directorate certifies that this proposed 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

proposed or modified BFEs are required 

by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 

1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are required 

to establish and maintain community 

eligibility in the NFIP. As a result, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis has not 

been prepared. 

Regulatory Classification. This 

proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under the criteria of 

Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of 

September 30, 1993, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735. 

Executive Order 12612, Federalism.

This proposed rule involves no policies 

that have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 12612, Federalism, 

dated October 26, 1987. 

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice 

Reform. This proposed rule meets the 

applicable standards of Section 2(b)(2) 

of Executive Order 12778.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67
