Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 12 / Thursday, January 21, 2021 / Notices 6323 

of issuance of the order. In conducting 

risk evaluations, ‘‘EPA will determine 

whether the chemical substance 

presents an unreasonable risk of injury 

to health or the environment under each 

condition of use within the scope of the 

risk evaluation . . . .’’ 40 CFR 702.47. 

Under EPA’s implementing regulations, 

‘‘[a] determination by EPA that the 

chemical substance, under one or more 

of the conditions of use within the 

scope of the risk evaluation, does not 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment will be issued 

by order and considered to be a final 

Agency action, effective on the date of 

issuance of the order.’’ 40 CFR 

702.49(d). For purposes of TSCA section 

19(a)(1)(A), the date of issuance of the 

TSCA section 6(i)(1) order for C.I. 

Pigment Violet 29 shall be at 1:00 p.m. 

Eastern time (standard or daylight, as 

appropriate) on the date that is two 

weeks after the date when this notice is 

published in the Federal Register, 

which is in accordance with 40 CFR 

23.5. 

C. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

the risk evaluation of the chemical 

substance identified in Unit II. In this 

risk evaluation EPA has made 

unreasonable risk determinations on 

some of the conditions of use within the 

scope of the risk evaluation for this 

chemical. For those conditions of use 

for which EPA has found an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment, EPA must initiate 

regulatory action to address those risks 

through risk management measures 

enumerated in 15 U.S.C. 2605(a). 

EPA also is announcing the 

availability of the information required 

to be provided publicly with each risk 

evaluation, which is available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

dockets identified. 40 CFR 702.51. 

Specifically, EPA has provided: 

• The scope document and problem 

formulation (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2016–0725); 

• Draft risk evaluation, revised draft 

risk evaluation and final risk evaluation 

(in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2018–0604); 

• All notices, determinations, 

findings, consent agreements, and 

orders (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2018–0604); 

• Any information required to be 

provided to the Agency under 15 U.S.C. 

2603 (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2016–0725 and Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2018–0604); 

• A nontechnical summary of the risk 

evaluation (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2018–0604); 

• A list of the studies, with the results 

of the studies, considered in carrying 

out each risk evaluation (Risk 

Evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet 29) in 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–2018– 

0604); 

• The final peer review report, 

including the response to peer review 

and public comments received during 

peer review (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2018–0604); and 

• Response to public comments 

received on the draft scope, the draft 

risk evaluation and revised draft risk 

evaluation (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2018–0604). 

II. TSCA Risk Evaluation 

A. What is EPA’s risk evaluation process 

for existing chemicals under TSCA? 

The risk evaluation process is the 

second step in EPA’s existing chemical 

process under TSCA, following 

prioritization and before risk 

management. As this chemical is one of 

the first ten chemical substances 

undergoing risk evaluation, the 

chemical substance was not required to 

go through prioritization (81 FR 91927, 

December 19, 2016) (FRL–9956–47). The 

purpose of conducting risk evaluations 

is to determine whether a chemical 

substance presents an unreasonable risk 

of injury to health or the environment 

under the conditions of use, including 

an unreasonable risk to a relevant 

potentially exposed or susceptible 

subpopulation. As part of this process, 

EPA must evaluate both hazard and 

exposure, not consider costs or other 

nonrisk factors, use reasonably available 

information and approaches in a 

manner that is consistent with the 

requirements in TSCA for the use of the 

best available science, and ensure 

decisions are based on the weight of the 

scientific evidence. 

The specific risk evaluation process 

that EPA has established by rule to 

implement the statutory process is set 

out in 40 CFR part 702 and summarized 

on EPA’s website at http://

www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managingchemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluationsexisting-chemicals-under-tsca. As 

explained in the preamble to EPA’s final 

rule on procedures for risk evaluation 

(82 FR 33726, July 20, 2017) (FRL– 

9964–38), the specific regulatory 

process set out in 40 CFR part 702, 

subpart B will be followed for the first 

ten chemical substances undergoing risk 

evaluation to the maximum extent 

practicable. 

Prior to the publication of this final 

risk evaluation, a draft risk evaluation 

and a revised draft risk evaluation were 

subject to peer review and public 

comment. EPA reviewed the peer 

review reports from the Science 

Advisory Committee on Chemicals 

(SACC), a Letter Peer Review, and 

public comments and has supplemented 

the risk evaluation in response to these 

comments as appropriate. Prior to the 

publication of the draft risk evaluation, 

EPA made available the scope and 

problem formulation, and solicited 

public input on uses and exposure. 

EPA’s documents, the peer review 

report, and the public comments are in 

Docket EPA–HQ–OPPT–2018–0604 at 

http://www.regulations.gov. 

Additionally, information about the 

scope, problem formulation, and draft 

risk evaluation phases of the TSCA risk 

evaluation for this chemical is available 

at https://www.epa.gov/assessing-andmanaging-chemicals-under-tsca/riskevaluation-pigment-violet-29-anthra219- 

def6510. 

B. What is C.I. Pigment Violet 29? 

C.I. Pigment Violet 29 (Anthra[2,1,9- 

def:6,5,10-d′e′f′] diisoquinoline1,3,8,10(2H,9H)-tetrone) is a perylene 

derivative used to color materials and as 

an intermediate for other perylene 

pigments. C.I. Pigment Violet 29 is 

currently manufactured (including 

imported), processed, distributed, used, 

and disposed of as part of industrial, 

commercial, and consumer conditions 

of use. Leading applications for C.I. 

Pigment Violet 29 include use as an 

intermediate to create or adjust color of 

other perylene pigments, incorporation 

into paints and coatings used primarily 

in the automobile industry, 

incorporation into plastic and rubber 

products used primarily in automobiles 

and industrial carpeting, use in 

merchant ink for commercial printing, 

and use in consumer watercolors and 

artistic color.
