AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the State 

Route 433 (SR433) Bridge across 

Bonfouca Bayou, mile 7.0, at Slidell, St. 

Tammany Parish, Louisiana. This 

deviation provides for the bridge to 

remain closed to navigation for five and 

a half consecutive hours in the morning 

and four and a half hours in the 

afternoon with an opening in the middle 

to pass vessels. There will be a two-hour 

notice to pass vessels in the evenings 

and a four-hour notice to pass vessels on 

weekends. This deviation will last for 

33 consecutive days. The purpose of the 

closure is to conduct scheduled 

maintenance and repairs to the 

drawbridge. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

6:30 a.m. on February 2, 2015 through 

5:30 p.m. on March 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Louisiana Department of Transportation 

and Development (LDOTD) requested a 

temporary deviation from the normal 

operation of the drawbridge at 33 CFR 

117.433 in order to perform scheduled 

maintenance and rehabilitation. This is 

necessary for the continued operation of 

the bridge. This deviation allows the 

draw of the SR433 Bridge across 

Bonfouca Bayou, mile 7.0, to remain 

closed to navigation for five and a half 

consecutive hours in the morning and 

four and a half hours in the afternoon 

with an opening in the middle to pass 

vessels. This deviation is effective from 

6:30 a.m. to noon and then again from 

1 p.m. through 5:30 p.m. daily from 

February 2 through March 6, 2015. 

There will be two-hour notice required 

in the evenings and a four-hour notice 

all day on the weekends. 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners will be 

used to update mariners of any changes 

in this deviation. 

The bridge has a vertical clearance of 

8 feet above high water in the closed-tonavigation position and unlimited 

clearance above high water in the opento-navigation position. There is 125 feet 

fender to fender horizontal clearance. 

Navigation on the waterway consists of 

tugs with tows, commercial fishing 

vessels and mainly recreational craft. 

There is no alternate route. 

CEC (the contractor for the 

maintenance and rehab) and the Coast 

Guard have coordinated the closure 

with waterway users, industry, and 

other Coast Guard units. This date and 

this schedule were chosen to minimize 

the significant effects on vessel traffic. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: January 27, 2015.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating 

significant new use rules (SNURs) under 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) for 27 chemical substances 

which were the subject of 

premanufacture notices (PMNs). Two of 

these chemical substances are subject to 

TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued 

by EPA. This action requires persons 

who intend to manufacture (including 

import) or process any of these 27 

chemical substances for an activity that 

is designated as a significant new use by 

this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days 

before commencing that activity. The 

required notification will provide EPA 

with the opportunity to evaluate the 

intended use and, if necessary, to 

prohibit or limit that activity before it 

occurs. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 3, 

2015. For purposes of judicial review, 

this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. 

(e.s.t.) on February 17, 2015. 

Written adverse or critical comments, 

or notice of intent to submit adverse or 

critical comments, on one or more of 

these SNURs must be received on or 

before March 4, 2015 (see Unit VI. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION). If EPA 

receives written adverse or critical 

comments, or notice of intent to submit 

adverse or critical comments, on one or 

more of these SNURs before March 4, 

2015, EPA will withdraw the relevant 

sections of this direct final rule before 

its effective date.

reporting requirement dates, see Units 

I.A., VI., and VII. of the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture, process, 

or use the chemical substances 

contained in this rule. The following list 

of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Manufacturers or processors of one 

or more subject chemical substances 

(NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., 

chemical manufacturing and petroleum 

refineries. 

This action may also affect certain 

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 

U.S.C. 2612) import certification 

requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 

12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR 

127.28. Chemical importers must certify 

that the shipment of the chemical 

substance complies with all applicable 

rules and orders under TSCA. Importers 

of chemicals subject to these SNURs 

must certify their compliance with the 

SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in 

support of import certification appears 

at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In 

addition, any persons who export or 

intend to export a chemical substance 

that is the subject of a proposed or final 

rule are subject to the export 

notification provisions of TSCA section 

12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see § 721.20), 

and must comply with the export 

notification requirements in 40 CFR part 

707, subpart D. 

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. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA is promulgating these SNURs 

using direct final procedures. These 

SNURs will require persons to notify 

EPA at least 90 days before commencing 

the manufacture or processing of a 

chemical substance for any activity 

designated by these SNURs as a 

significant new use. Receipt of such 

notices allows EPA to assess risks that 

may be presented by the intended uses 

and, if appropriate, to regulate the 

proposed use before it occurs. 

Additional rationale and background to 

these rules are more fully set out in the 

preamble to EPA’s first direct final 

SNUR published in the Federal Register 

issue of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376). 

Consult that preamble for further 

information on the objectives, rationale, 

and procedures for SNURs and on the 

basis for significant new use 

designations, including provisions for 

developing test data. 

B. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 

2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine 

that a use of a chemical substance is a 

‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make 

this determination by rule after 

considering all relevant factors, 

including the four bulleted TSCA 

section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. 

Once EPA determines that a use of a 

chemical substance is a significant new 

use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires 

persons to submit a significant new use 

notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days 

before they manufacture or process the 

chemical substance for that use. Persons 

who must report are described in 

§ 721.5. 

C. Applicability of General Provisions 

General provisions for SNURs appear 

in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These 

provisions describe persons subject to 

the rule, recordkeeping requirements, 

exemptions to reporting requirements, 

and applicability of the rule to uses 

occurring before the effective date of the 

rule. Provisions relating to user fees 

appear at 40 CFR part 700. According to 

§ 721.1(c), persons subject to these 

SNURs must comply with the same 

SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory 

procedures as submitters of PMNs under 

TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In particular, 

these requirements include the 

information submission requirements of 

TSCA section 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the 

exemptions authorized by TSCA section 

5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the 

regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once 

EPA receives a SNUN, EPA may take 

regulatory action under TSCA sections 

5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to control the activities 

for which it has received the SNUN. If 

EPA does not take action, EPA is 

required under TSCA section 5(g) to 

explain in the Federal Register its 

reasons for not taking action. 

III. Significant New Use Determination 

Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA states that 

EPA’s determination that a use of a 

chemical substance is a significant new 

use must be made after consideration of 

all relevant factors, including: 

• The projected volume of 

manufacturing and processing of a 

chemical substance. 

• The extent to which a use changes 

the type or form of exposure of human 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 5459 

beings or the environment to a chemical 

substance. 

• The extent to which a use increases 

the magnitude and duration of exposure 

of human beings or the environment to 

a chemical substance. 

• The reasonably anticipated manner 

and methods of manufacturing, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

and disposal of a chemical substance. 

In addition to these factors 

enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2), the 

statute authorized EPA to consider any 

other relevant factors. 

To determine what would constitute a 

significant new use for the 27 chemical 

substances that are the subject of these 

SNURs, EPA considered relevant 

information about the toxicity of the 

chemical substances, likely human 

exposures and environmental releases 

associated with possible uses, and the 

four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) 

factors listed in this unit. 

IV. Substances Subject to This Rule 

EPA is establishing significant new 

use and recordkeeping requirements for 

27 chemical substances in 40 CFR part 

721, subpart E. In this unit, EPA 

provides the following information for 

each chemical substance: 

• PMN number. 

• Chemical name (generic name, if 

the specific name is claimed as CBI). 

• Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

Registry number (if assigned for nonconfidential chemical identities). 

• Basis for the TSCA section 5(e) 

consent order or the basis for the TSCA 

non-section 5(e) SNURs (i.e., SNURs 

without TSCA section 5(e) consent 

orders). 

• Toxicity concerns. 

• Tests recommended by EPA to 

provide sufficient information to 

evaluate the chemical substance (see 

Unit VIII. for more information). 

• CFR citation assigned in the 

regulatory text section of this rule. 

The regulatory text section of this rule 

specifies the activities designated as 

significant new uses. Certain new uses, 

including production volume limits 

(i.e., limits on manufacture and 

importation volume) and other uses 

designated in this rule, may be claimed 

as CBI. Unit IX. discusses a procedure 

companies may use to ascertain whether 

a proposed use constitutes a significant 

new use. 

This rule includes two PMN 

substances (P–12–17 and P–13–573) that 

are subject to ‘‘risk-based’’ consent 

orders under TSCA section 

5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) where EPA determined 

that activities associated with the PMN 

substances may present unreasonable 

risk to human health or the 

environment. Those consent orders 

require protective measures to limit 

exposures or otherwise mitigate the 

potential unreasonable risk. The socalled ‘‘section 5(e) SNURs’’ on these 

PMN substances are promulgated 

pursuant to § 721.160, and are based on 

and consistent with the provisions in 

the underlying consent orders. The 

section 5(e) SNURs designate as a 

‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of the 

protective measures required in the 

corresponding consent orders. 

Where EPA determined that the PMN 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to human health via 

inhalation exposure, the underlying 

TSCA section 5(e) consent order usually 

requires, among other things, that 

potentially exposed employees wear 

specified respirators unless actual 

measurements of the workplace air 

show that air-borne concentrations of 

the PMN substance are below a New 

Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) that is 

established by EPA to provide adequate 

protection to human health. In addition 

to the actual NCEL concentration, the 

comprehensive NCELs provisions in 

TSCA section 5(e) consent orders, 

which are modeled after Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limits 

(PELs) provisions, include requirements 

addressing performance criteria for 

sampling and analytical methods, 

periodic monitoring, respiratory 

protection, and recordkeeping. 

However, no comparable NCEL 

provisions currently exist in 40 CFR 

part 721, subpart B, for SNURs. 

Therefore, for these cases, the 

individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart E, will state that persons subject 

to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs 

as an alternative to the § 721.63 

respirator requirements may request to 

do so under § 721.30. EPA expects that 

persons whose § 721.30 requests to use 

the NCELs approach for SNURs are 

approved by EPA will be required to 

comply with NCELs provisions that are 

comparable to those contained in the 

corresponding TSCA section 5(e) 

consent order for the same chemical 

substance. 

This rule also includes SNURs on 25 

PMN substances that are not subject to 

consent orders under TSCA section 5(e). 

In these cases, for a variety of reasons, 

EPA did not find that the use scenario 

described in the PMN triggered the 

determinations set forth under TSCA 

section 5(e). However, EPA does believe 

that certain changes from the use 

scenario described in the PMN could 

result in increased exposures, thereby 

constituting a ‘‘significant new use.’’ 

These so-called ‘‘non-section 5(e) 

SNURs’’ are promulgated pursuant to 

§ 721.170. EPA has determined that 

every activity designated as a 

‘‘significant new use’’ in all non-section 

5(e) SNURs issued under § 721.170 

satisfies the two requirements stipulated 

in § 721.170(c)(2), i.e., these significant 

new use activities are different from 

those described in the premanufacture 

notice for the substance, including any 

amendments, deletions, and additions 

of activities to the premanufacture 

notice, and may be accompanied by 

changes in exposure or release levels 

that are significant in relation to the 

health or environmental concerns 

identified’’ for the PMN substance. 

PMN Number P–12–17 

Chemical name: Phosphoric acid, iron 

(2+) lithium salt (1:1:1). 

CAS number: 15365–14–7. 

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 

consent order: May 27, 2014. 

Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 

order: The PMN states that the generic 

(non-confidential) use of the PMN will 

be as electrode components. Based on 

test data on analogous respirable, poorly 

soluble particulates, EPA identified 

concerns for lung overload. Further, 

based on lithium (about 5 percent of the 

molecular weight of the PMN), EPA 

identified concerns for neurotoxicity, 

developmental toxicity, and 

immunotoxicity. The Order was issued 

under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 

5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) based on a finding that 

the substance may present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to human 

health, the substance may be produced 

in substantial quantities and may 

reasonably be anticipated to enter the 

environment in substantial quantities, 

and there may be significant (or 

substantial) human exposure to the 

substance. To protect against these risks, 

the consent order requires: 

1. Risk notification. If as a result of 

the test data required, the company 

becomes aware that the PMN substance 

may present a risk of injury to human 

health, the company must incorporate 

this new information, and any 

information on methods for protecting 

against such risk into a Material Safety 

Data Sheet (MSDS), within 90 days. 

2. Use of personal protective 

equipment including a National 

Institute of Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH)-certified respirator with 

an assigned protection factor (APF) of at 

least 10 or compliance with a NCEL of 

2.4 milligram/meter3 (mg/m3) as an 8- 

hour time-weighted average (when there 

is potential inhalation exposure), when 

there is potential inhalation exposure. 

3. Submission of certain testing prior 

to exceeding the confidential 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
5460 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

production volume limits of the PMN 

substance specified in the consent 

order. 

The SNUR designates as a ‘‘significant 

new use’’ the absence of these protective 

measures. 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the test data from 

certain human health testing identified 

in the consent order would help 

characterize possible health effects of 

the substance. The company has agreed 

not to exceed the first confidential 

production limit without performing a 

90-day inhalation toxicity test (OPPTS 

Test Guideline 870.3465) in rats, with 

special attention to histopathology as 

described in the consent order. If the 

results of the 90-day inhalation toxicity 

test indicates the potential for 

carcinogenicity, then the submitter has 

agreed not to exceed the second 

confidential production limit without 

performing a carcinogenicity test 

(OPPTS Test Guideline 870.4200) in rats 

via the inhalation route. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10793. 

PMN Numbers P–13–212 and P–13–213 

Chemical names: Alkenyl succinate, 

amine salts (generic). 

CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMNs state that 

the use of the substances will be as 

metalworking fluid additives. Based on 

test data on analogous anionic 

surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to 

aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 3 parts per 

billion (ppb) in aggregate of the PMN 

substances in surface waters for greater 

than 20 days per year. This 20-day 

criterion is derived from partial life 

cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish 

early-life stage tests) that typically range 

from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA 

predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms 

may occur if releases of the PMN 

substances to surface water exceed 

releases from the use described in the 

PMNs. For the use described in the 

PMNs, environmental releases of the 

substances did not exceed 3 ppb for 

more than 20 days per year. Therefore, 

EPA has not determined that the 

proposed manufacturing, processing, or 

use of the substances may present an 

unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 

however, that use of the substances 

other than as described in the PMNs 

may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substances meet 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended Testing: EPA has 

determined that a fish early-life stage 

toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 

850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity 

test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); 

and an algal toxicity test (Office of 

Chemical Safety and Pollution 

Prevention (OCSPP) Test Guideline 

850.4500), would help characterize the 

environmental effects of the PMN 

substances. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10794. 

PMN Number P–13–559 

Chemical name: Amine salt of 

vegetable oil, polymer with 

cycloaliphatic glycol, hydroxy 

substituted carboxylic acid, aliphatic 

diisocyanate and tetra hydroxyalkane 

(generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the use of the substance will be as a 

wood sealer or concrete sealer. Based on 

ecological structure activity relationship 

(SAR) analysis of test data on 

polyamphoteric polymers, EPA predicts 

toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 

at concentrations that exceed 60 ppb of 

the PMN substance in surface waters for 

greater than 20 days per year. This 20- 

day criterion is derived from partial life 

cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish 

early-life stage tests) that typically range 

from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA 

predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms 

may occur if releases of the PMN 

substance to surface water exceed 

releases from the use described in the 

PMN. For the use described in the PMN, 

environmental releases of the 

substances did not exceed 60 ppb for 

more than 20 days per year. Therefore, 

EPA has not determined that the 

proposed manufacturing, processing, or 

use of the substance may present an 

unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 

however, that any use of the substance 

other than as described in the PMN may 

result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a fish 

acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1075); an aquatic 

invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS 

Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal 

toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500) would help characterize the 

environmental effects of the PMN 

substance. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10795. 

PMN Number P–13–573 

Chemical name: Polymer of 

terephthalic acid and ethyl benzene 

with multi-walled carbon nanotube 

(generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) 

consent order: April 16, 2014. 

Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent 

order: The PMN states that the generic 

(non-confidential) use of the PMN will 

be as dispersing agents for various resin 

systems, such as thermosets, elastomers, 

thermoplastics and solvents and water. 

Based on test data on analogous 

respirable, poorly soluble particulates, 

EPA identified concerns for 

immunotoxicity, oncogenicity, and 

mutagenicity. Further, based on the 

agglomeration potential of carbon 

nanotubes, EPA identified concerns for 

environmental releases to water where 

the PMN may combine with dissolved 

organic matter to form stable aqueous 

suspensions. The Order was issued 

under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 

5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that 

the substance may present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to human 

health and the environment, the 

substance may be produced in 

substantial quantities and may 

reasonably be anticipated to enter the 

environment in substantial quantities, 

and there may be significant (or 

substantial) human exposure to the 

substance. To protect against these risks, 

the consent order requires: 

1. Use of personal protective 

equipment involving impervious gloves 

and protective clothing (where there is 

a potential for dermal exposure) and a 

NIOSH-certified respirator with N–100, 

P–100, or R–100 cartridges (where there 

is a potential for inhalation exposure). 

2. Submission of certain physicalchemical data for the PMN substance 

within nine months of signing of the 

consent order. 

3. Submission of certain human 

health testing prior to exceeding the 

confidential production volume limit 

specified in the consent order. 

4. Processing and use of the PMN 

substance only for the confidential use 

specified in the consent order. 

5. No use of the substance resulting in 

releases to surface waters. 

The SNUR would designate as a 

‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of 

these protective measures. 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the development of 

data on certain physical-chemical 

properties, as well as certain human 

health and environmental toxicity 

testing would help characterize possible 

effects of the substance. The submitter 

has agreed to provide the physical/

chemical properties data within the 

specified time limit. In addition, the 

submitter has agreed not to exceed the 

confidential production limit without 

performing a 90-day inhalation toxicity 

test (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3465 or

months (including BALF analysis, a 

determination of cardiovascular toxicity 

(clinically-based blood/plasma protein 

analyses), and histopathology of the 

heart). Although the order does not 

require the results of a fish early-life 

stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1400), a chronic daphnid 

toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 

850.1300), and an algal toxicity test 

(OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) at any 

specified time or volume, the Order’s 

restrictions on manufacture, processing, 

distribution in commerce, and disposal 

will remain in effect until the Order is 

modified or revoked by EPA based on 

submission of this or other relevant 

information.

PMN Number P–13–674 

Chemical name: 

Polycarbamoylsulfonic acid sodium salt 

(generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the use of the substance will be for 

leather processing. Based on test data of 

the PMN substance, EPA predicts 

toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 

at concentrations that exceed 11 ppb of 

the PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

11 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 11 

ppb may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(i). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a fish 

early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1400) and a daphnid 

chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1300) would help 

characterize the environmental effects of 

the PMN substance. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10797. 

PMN Number P–13–864 

Chemical name: Phosphonic acid 

chloride, diester (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic use of the substance will be 

as a chemical intermediate. Based on 

ecological SAR analysis of test data on 

analogous esters, EPA predicts toxicity 

to aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 5 ppb of the 

PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

5 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 5 

ppb may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a fish 

acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1075); an aquatic 

invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS 

Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal 

toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500) would help characterize the 

environmental effects of the PMN 

substance.

PMN Numbers P–13–874, P–13–875, 

P–13–876, and P–13–877 

Chemical names: Substituted 

dimethyl phenols (generic). 

CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMNs state that 

the generic use of the substances will be 

as chemical intermediates. Based on 

ecological SAR analysis of test data on 

analogous phenols, EPA predicts 

toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 

at concentrations that exceed 10 ppb of 

the PMN substances P–13–874 or P–13– 

875, and 5 ppb of the PMN substances 

P–13–876 or P–13–877, in surface 

waters. As described in the PMNs, 

releases of the substances are not 

expected to result in surface water 

concentrations exceeding 10 ppb in 

aggregate of the PMN P–13–874 and P– 

13–875 substances or 5 ppb in aggregate 

of the PMN P–13–876 and P–13–877 

substances. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substances may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substances that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 10 

ppb in aggregate of the PMN P–13–874 

and P–13–875 substances or 5 ppb in 

aggregate of the PMN P–13–876 and P– 

13–877 substances may result in 

significant adverse environmental 

effects. Based on this information, the 

PMN substances meet the concern 

criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a fish 

acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1075); an aquatic 

invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS 

Test Guideline 850.1010); an algal 

toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500); and a ready biodegradability 

test (OECD Test Guideline 301) on 

either P–13–874 or P–13–875, would 

help characterize the environmental 

effects of these two PMN substances. 

Further, EPA has determined that the 

results of a fish early-life stage toxicity 

test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a 

daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS 

Test Guideline 850.1300); an algal 

toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500); and a ready biodegradability 

test (OECD Test Guideline 301) on P– 

13–877 would help characterize the 

environmental effects of P–13–876 and 

P–13–877. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10799. 

PMN Number P–13–931 

Chemical name: 2-propenoic acid, 4- 

phenoxybutyl ester. 

CAS number: 103969–85–3. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the use of the substance will be a 

polymerizable component in adhesive 

formulations. Based on ecological SAR 

analysis of test data on analogous 

acrylates, EPA predicts toxicity to 

aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the 

PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 1 

ppb may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a water 

solubility test (OECD Test Guideline 

105) and a partition coefficient (noctanol/water) test, HPLC Method 

(OECD Test Guideline 117) would help 

to characterize the physical-chemical 

properties of the PMN substance. EPA 

recommends that this testing be 

performed first as the results may 

mitigate the need for further testing or 

change the testing recommendations. 

Depending upon the results of these 

data, EPA has determined that the 

results of a fish acute toxicity test 

(OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1075); an 

aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test 

(OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and

PMN Number P–13–936 

Chemical name: Organic phosphonate 

salt (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic use of the substance will be 

a contained use in energy production. 

Based on ecological SAR analysis of test 

data on analogous polyanionic 

monomers, EPA predicts toxicity to 

aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 130 ppb of 

the PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

130 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 130 

ppb may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of an algal 

toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500) and a modified algal toxicity 

test with equivalent calcium ion 

amendments (OCSPP Test Guideline 

850.4500) would help characterize the 

environmental effects of the PMN 

substance.

PMN Number P–14–39 

Chemical name: Quaternized protein/ 

silicone copolymer (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic use of the substance will be 

as a fabric softener additive. Based on 

test data on the PMN substance, as well 

as ecological SAR analysis of test data 

on analogous amphoteric surfactants, 

EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic 

organisms may occur at concentrations 

that exceed 31 ppb of the PMN 

substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

31 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 31 

ppb may result in significant adverse

PMN Number P–14–70 

Chemical name: 1,5-Pentanediamine. 

CAS number: 462–94–2. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the uses of the substance will be as a 

monomer for polyamides and as an 

ingredient to produce metamethylene 

1,5 diisocyanate. Based on ecological 

SAR analysis of test data on analogous 

aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity 

to aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 300 ppb of 

the PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

300 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance that results in 

releases to surface waters exceeding 300 

ppb may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii).

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic use of the substance will be 

as a polyol to be reacted with 

polyisocyanates to create polyurethane 

foam. Based on ecological SAR analysis 

of test data on analogous aliphatic 

amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic 

organisms may occur at concentrations 

that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance 

in surface waters. As described in the 

PMN, releases of the substance are not 

expected to result in surface water 

concentrations exceeding 1 ppb. 

Therefore, EPA has not determined that

Chemical names: Fatty acid 

imidazolines (generic). 

CAS numbers: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMNs state that 

the generic use of the substances will be 

as emulsifiers. Based on ecological SAR 

analysis of test data on analogous 

aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity 

to aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 1 ppb in 

aggregate of the PMN substances P–14– 

202 and P–14–203 or 1 ppb in aggregate 

of PMNs P–14–204, P–14–205, and P–

1 ppb in aggregate of PMNs P–14–204, 

P–14–205, and P–14–206. Therefore, 

EPA has not determined that the 

proposed manufacturing, processing, or 

use of the substances may present an 

unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 

however, that any use of the substances 

that results in releases to surface waters 

exceeding 1 ppb in aggregate of the 

PMN substances P–14–202 and P–14– 

203 or 1 ppb in aggregate of PMNs 

P–14–204, P–14–205, and P–14–206 

may result in significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substances meet 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that a water solubility test 

(OECD Test Guideline 105) and a 

partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) 

test, HPLC Method (OECD Test 

Guideline 117) for P–14–202 and P–14–

may help characterize the 

environmental effects of the PMN 

substances. EPA also recommends that 

the guidance document on aquatic 

toxicity testing of difficult substances 

and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) 

be followed to facilitate solubility in the 

test media.

PMN Number P–14–341 

Chemical name: Trimellitic 

anhydride, polymer with alkanolamine 

and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride 

(generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the use of the substance will be as a 

binder for gluing the individual mineral 

fibres together to form a firm product, 

used industrially in a closed system. 

Based on test data on the PMN 

substance, the EPA identified human 

health concerns regarding blood toxicity 

and uncertain concerns for liver and 

kidney toxicity from exposure to the 

PMN substance via inhalation exposure. 

As described in the PMN, exposure is 

expected to be minimal for this use. 

Therefore, EPA has not determined that 

the proposed manufacturing, 

processing, or use of the substance may 

present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 

determined, however, that any use of 

the substance other than as listed in the 

PMN may result in serious health 

effects. Based on this information, the 

PMN substance meets the concern 

criteria at § 721.170(b)(3)(i). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a 

combined repeated dose toxicity study 

with the reproductive/developmental 

toxicity screening test (OECD Test

PMN Number P–14–417 

Chemical name: Aliphatic ether ethyl 

alcohol (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic (non-confidential) use of the 

substance will be as a solvent for ink. 

Based on test data on analogous 

ethylene glycol ethers, EPA identified 

concerns for blood, liver, and kidney 

toxicity, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, 

and developmental and reproductive 

toxicity to humans exposed to the PMN 

substance. Because of the use described 

in the PMN, significant dermal, 

inhalation and drinking water exposures 

are not expected for the worker, the 

general population, or consumer. 

Therefore, EPA has not determined that 

the proposed manufacturing, 

processing, or use of the substance may 

present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 

determined, however, that use of the 

substance other than as described in the 

PMN may cause serious health effects. 

Based on this information, the PMN 

substance meets the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(3)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of the

intermediate. Based on ecological SAR 

analysis of test data on analogous 

polyepoxides, EPA predicts toxicity to 

aquatic organisms may occur at 

concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the 

PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the

tetramethyl-. 

CAS number: 17232–95–0. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the substance will be used in the 

preparation of a triethyleneoxyterminated polymer. Based on 

ecological SAR analysis of test data on 

analogous neutral organic chemicals, 

EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic 

organisms may occur at concentrations 

that exceed 8 ppb of the PMN substance 

in surface waters. As described in the 

PMN, releases of the substance are not 

expected to result in surface water 

concentrations that exceed 8 ppb. 

Therefore, EPA has not determined that 

the proposed manufacturing, 

processing, or use of the substance may 

present an unreasonable risk. EPA has

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10809. 

PMN Number P–14–544 

Chemical name: Heterocyclic amine 

potassium salt (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the generic (non-confidential) use of the 

substance will be as a dishing reducer. 

Based on ecological SAR analysis of test 

data on structurally similar substances, 

EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic 

organisms may occur at concentrations 

that exceed 250 ppb of the PMN 

substance in surface waters for greater 

than 20 days per year. This 20-day 

criterion is derived from partial life 

cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish 

early-life stage tests) that typically range 

from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA 

predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms 

may occur if either (1) releases of the 

PMN substance to surface water, from 

uses other than as described in the 

PMN, exceed releases from the use 

described in the PMN or (2) the 

production volume increases beyond 

the confidential production volume 

described in the PMN. For the use and 

production volume described in the 

PMN, environmental releases did not 

exceed 250 ppb for more than 20 days 

per year. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance other than as 

described in the PMN, or any increase 

in the annual production volume could 

result in exposures which may cause 

significant adverse environmental 

effects. Based on this information, the 

PMN substance meets the concern 

criteria at § 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a ready 

biodegradability test (OECD Test 

Guideline 301); a fish early-life-stage 

toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 

850.1400); a daphnid chronic toxicity 

test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); 

and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test 

Guideline 850.4500) would help to 

characterize the environmental effects of 

the PMN substance. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10810. 

PMN Number P–14–618 

Chemical name: Heterocyclic amine 

substituted acrylamide (generic). 

CAS number: Claimed confidential. 

Basis for action: The PMN states that 

the substance will be used as a 

monomer for use in the manufacture of 

a polymer or for export. Based on 

ecological SAR analysis of test data on 

analogous acrylamides, EPA predicts 

toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 

at concentrations that exceed 23 ppb of 

the PMN substance in surface waters. As 

described in the PMN, releases of the 

substance are not expected to result in 

surface water concentrations that exceed 

23 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not 

determined that the proposed 

manufacturing, processing, or use of the 

substance may present an unreasonable 

risk. EPA has determined, however, that 

any use of the substance resulting in 

surface water concentrations exceeding 

23 ppb may cause significant adverse 

environmental effects. Based on this 

information, the PMN substance meets 

the concern criteria at 

§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). 

Recommended testing: EPA has 

determined that the results of a fish 

early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test 

Guideline 850.1400); a daphnid chronic 

toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 

850.1300); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP 

Test Guideline 850.4500); and a ready 

biodegradability test (OECD Test 

Guideline 301) would help characterize 

the environmental effects of the PMN 

substance. 

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10811. 

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule 

A. Rationale 

During review of the PMNs submitted 

for the chemical substances that are 

subject to these SNURs, EPA concluded 

that for 2 of the 27 chemical substances, 

regulation was warranted under TSCA 

section 5(e), pending the development 

of information sufficient to make 

reasoned evaluations of the health or 

environmental effects of the chemical 

substances. The basis for such findings 

is outlined in Unit IV. Based on these 

findings, TSCA section 5(e) consent 

orders requiring the use of appropriate 

exposure controls were negotiated with 

the PMN submitters. The SNUR 

provisions for these chemical 

substances are consistent with the 

provisions of the TSCA section 5(e) 

consent orders. These SNURs are 

promulgated pursuant to § 721.160 (see 

Unit VI.). 

In the other 25 cases, where the uses 

are not regulated under a TSCA section 

5(e) consent order, EPA determined that 

one or more of the criteria of concern 

established at § 721.170 were met, as 

discussed in Unit IV. 

B. Objectives 

EPA is issuing these SNURs for 

specific chemical substances which 

have undergone premanufacture review 

because the Agency wants to achieve 

the following objectives with regard to 

the significant new uses designated in 

this rule: 

• EPA will receive notice of any 

person’s intent to manufacture or 

process a listed chemical substance for 

the described significant new use before 

that activity begins. 

• EPA will have an opportunity to 

review and evaluate data submitted in a 

SNUN before the notice submitter 

begins manufacturing or processing a 

listed chemical substance for the 

described significant new use. 

• EPA will be able to regulate 

prospective manufacturers or processors 

of a listed chemical substance before the 

described significant new use of that 

chemical substance occurs, provided 

that regulation is warranted pursuant to 

TSCA sections 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7. 

• EPA will ensure that all 

manufacturers and processors of the 

same chemical substance that is subject 

to a TSCA section 5(e) consent order are 

subject to similar requirements. 

Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 

substance does not signify that the 

chemical substance is listed on the 

TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory 

(TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to 

determine if a chemical substance is on 

the TSCA Inventory is available on the 

Internet at http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/ 

existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/

index.html. 

VI. Direct Final Procedures 

EPA is issuing these SNURs as a 

direct final rule, as described in 

§ 721.160(c)(3) and § 721.170(d)(4). In 

accordance with § 721.160(c)(3)(ii) and 

§ 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B), the effective date 

of this rule is April 3, 2015 without 

further notice, unless EPA receives 

written adverse or critical comments, or 

notice of intent to submit adverse or 

critical comments before March 4, 2015. 

If EPA receives written adverse or 

critical comments, or notice of intent to 

submit adverse or critical comments, on 

one or more of these SNURs before 

March 4, 2015, EPA will withdraw the 

relevant sections of this direct final rule 

before its effective date. EPA will then 

issue a proposed SNUR for the chemical 

substance(s) on which adverse or 

critical comments were received, 

providing a 30-day period for public 

comment. 

This rule establishes SNURs for a 

number of chemical substances. Any 

person who submits adverse or critical 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 5465 

comments, or notice of intent to submit 

adverse or critical comments, must 

identify the chemical substance and the 

new use to which it applies. EPA will 

not withdraw a SNUR for a chemical 

substance not identified in the 

comment. 

VII. Applicability of the Significant 

New Use Designation 

To establish a significant new use, 

EPA must determine that the use is not 

ongoing. The chemical substances 

subject to this rule have undergone 

premanufacture review. In cases where 

EPA has not received a notice of 

commencement (NOC) and the chemical 

substance has not been added to the 

TSCA Inventory, no person may 

commence such activities without first 

submitting a PMN. Therefore, for 

chemical substances for which an NOC 

has not been submitted EPA concludes 

that the designated significant new uses 

are not ongoing. 

When chemical substances identified 

in this rule are added to the TSCA 

Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before 

the rule is effective, other persons might 

engage in a use that has been identified 

as a significant new use. However, 

TSCA section 5(e) consent orders have 

been issued for 2 of the 27 chemical 

substances, and the PMN submitters are 

prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) 

consent orders from undertaking 

activities which would be designated as 

significant new uses. The identities of 

22 of the 27 chemical substances subject 

to this rule have been claimed as 

confidential and EPA has received no 

post-PMN bona fide submissions (per 

§§ 720.25 and 721.11). Based on this, 

the Agency believes that it is highly 

unlikely that any of the significant new 

uses described in the regulatory text of 

this rule are ongoing. 

Therefore, EPA designates February 2, 

2015 as the cutoff date for determining 

whether the new use is ongoing. Persons 

who begin commercial manufacture or 

processing of the chemical substances 

for a significant new use identified as of 

that date would have to cease any such 

activity upon the effective date of the 

final rule. To resume their activities, 

these persons would have to first 

comply with all applicable SNUR 

notification requirements and wait until 

the notice review period, including any 

extensions, expires. If such a person met 

the conditions of advance compliance 

under § 721.45(h), the person would be 

considered exempt from the 

requirements of the SNUR. Consult the 

Federal Register document of April 24, 

1990 for a more detailed discussion of 

the cutoff date for ongoing uses. 

VIII. Test Data and Other Information 

EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 

does not require developing any 

particular test data before submission of 

a SNUN. The two exceptions are: 

1. Development of test data is 

required where the chemical substance 

subject to the SNUR is also subject to a 

test rule under TSCA section 4 (see 

TSCA section 5(b)(1)). 

2. Development of test data may be 

necessary where the chemical substance 

has been listed under TSCA section 

5(b)(4) (see TSCA section 5(b)(2)). 

In the absence of a TSCA section 4 

test rule or a TSCA section 5(b)(4) 

listing covering the chemical substance, 

persons are required only to submit test 

data in their possession or control and 

to describe any other data known to or 

reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 

CFR 720.50). However, upon review of 

PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the 

authority to require appropriate testing. 

In cases where EPA issued a TSCA 

section 5(e) consent order that requires 

or recommends certain testing, Unit IV. 

lists those tests. Unit IV. also lists 

recommended testing for non-5(e) 

SNURs. Descriptions of tests are 

provided for informational purposes. 

EPA strongly encourages persons, before 

performing any testing, to consult with 

the Agency pertaining to protocol 

selection. To access the OCSPP test 

guidelines referenced in this document 

electronically, please go to http://

www.epa.gov/ocspp and select ‘‘Test 

Methods and Guidelines.’’ The 

Organisation for Economic Co-operation 

and Development (OECD) test 

guidelines are available from the OECD 

Bookshop at http://

www.oecdbookshop.org or SourceOECD 

at http://www.sourceoecd.org. 

In the TSCA section 5(e) consent 

orders for several of the chemical 

substances regulated under this rule, 

EPA has established production volume 

limits in view of the lack of data on the 

potential health and environmental 

risks that may be posed by the 

significant new uses or increased 

exposure to the chemical substances. 

These limits cannot be exceeded unless 

the PMN submitter first submits the 

results of toxicity tests that would 

permit a reasoned evaluation of the 

potential risks posed by these chemical 

substances. Under recent TSCA section 

5(e) consent orders, each PMN submitter 

is required to submit each study before 

reaching the specified production limit. 

Listings of the tests specified in the 

TSCA section 5(e) consent orders are 

included in Unit IV. The SNURs contain 

the same production volume limits as 

the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. 

Exceeding these production limits is 

defined as a significant new use. 

The recommended tests specified in 

Unit IV. may not be the only means of 

addressing the potential risks of the 

chemical substance. However, 

submitting a SNUN without any test 

data may increase the likelihood that 

EPA will take action under TSCA 

section 5(e), particularly if satisfactory 

test results have not been obtained from 

a prior PMN or SNUN submitter. EPA 

recommends that potential SNUN 

submitters contact EPA early enough so 

that they will be able to conduct the 

appropriate tests. 

SNUN submitters should be aware 

that EPA will be better able to evaluate 

SNUNs which provide detailed 

information on the following: 

• Human exposure and 

environmental release that may result 

from the significant new use of the 

chemical substances. 

• Potential benefits of the chemical 

substances. 

• Information on risks posed by the 

chemical substances compared to risks 

posed by potential substitutes. 

IX. Procedural Determinations 

By this rule, EPA is establishing 

certain significant new uses which have 

been claimed as CBI subject to Agency 

confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR 

part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. 

Absent a final determination or other 

disposition of the confidentiality claim 

under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is 

required to keep this information 

confidential. EPA promulgated a 

procedure to deal with the situation 

where a specific significant new use is 

CBI, at 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1). 

Under these procedures a 

manufacturer or processor may request 

EPA to determine whether a proposed 

use would be a significant new use 

under the rule. The manufacturer or 

processor must show that it has a bona 

fide intent to manufacture or process the 

chemical substance and must identify 

the specific use for which it intends to 

manufacture or process the chemical 

substance. If EPA concludes that the 

person has shown a bona fide intent to 

manufacture or process the chemical 

substance, EPA will tell the person 

whether the use identified in the bona 

fide submission would be a significant 

new use under the rule. Since most of 

the chemical identities of the chemical 

substances subject to these SNURs are 

also CBI, manufacturers and processors 

can combine the bona fide submission 

under the procedure in § 721.1725(b)(1) 

with that under § 721.11 into a single 

step. 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
5466 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

If EPA determines that the use 

identified in the bona fide submission 

would not be a significant new use, i.e., 

the use does not meet the criteria 

specified in the rule for a significant 

new use, that person can manufacture or 

process the chemical substance so long 

as the significant new use trigger is not 

met. In the case of a production volume 

trigger, this means that the aggregate 

annual production volume does not 

exceed that identified in the bona fide 

submission to EPA. Because of 

confidentiality concerns, EPA does not 

typically disclose the actual production 

volume that constitutes the use trigger. 

Thus, if the person later intends to 

exceed that volume, a new bona fide 

submission would be necessary to 

determine whether that higher volume 

would be a significant new use. 

X. SNUN Submissions 

According to § 721.1(c), persons 

submitting a SNUN must comply with 

the same notification requirements and 

EPA regulatory procedures as persons 

submitting a PMN, including 

submission of test data on health and 

environmental effects as described in 40 

CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted 

on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated 

using e-PMN software, and submitted to 

the Agency in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 

and 721.25. E–PMN software is 

available electronically at http://

www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems. 

XI. Economic Analysis 

EPA has evaluated the potential costs 

of establishing SNUN requirements for 

potential manufacturers and processors 

of the chemical substances subject to 

this rule. EPA’s complete economic 

analysis is available in the docket under 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2014–0714. 

XII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866 

This action establishes SNURs for 

several new chemical substances that 

were the subject of PMNs, or TSCA 

section 5(e) consent orders. The Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) has 

exempted these types of actions from 

review under Executive Order 12866, 

entitled ‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review’’ (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

According to PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that requires OMB approval under PRA, 

unless it has been approved by OMB 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. EPA is amending the table in 

40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB approval 

number for the information collection 

requirements contained in this action. 

This listing of the OMB control numbers 

and their subsequent codification in the 

CFR satisfies the display requirements 

of PRA and OMB’s implementing 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. This 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

was previously subject to public notice 

and comment prior to OMB approval, 

and given the technical nature of the 

table, EPA finds that further notice and 

comment to amend it is unnecessary. As 

a result, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good 

cause’’ under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table 

without further notice and comment. 

The information collection 

requirements related to this action have 

already been approved by OMB 

pursuant to PRA under OMB control 

number 2070–0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). 

This action does not impose any burden 

requiring additional OMB approval. If 

an entity were to submit a SNUN to the 

Agency, the annual burden is estimated 

to average between 30 and 170 hours 

per response. This burden estimate 

includes the time needed to review 

instructions, search existing data 

sources, gather and maintain the data 

needed, and complete, review, and 

submit the required SNUN. 

Send any comments about the 

accuracy of the burden estimate, and 

any suggested methods for minimizing 

respondent burden, including through 

the use of automated collection 

techniques, to the Director, Collection 

Strategies Division, Office of 

Environmental Information (2822T), 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460–0001. Please remember to 

include the OMB control number in any 

correspondence, but do not submit any 

completed forms to this address. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

On February 18, 2012, EPA certified 

pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.), that promulgation of a 

SNUR does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities where the 

following are true: 

1. A significant number of SNUNs 

would not be submitted by small 

entities in response to the SNUR. 

2. The SNUR submitted by any small 

entity would not cost significantly more 

than $8,300. 

A copy of that certification is 

available in the docket for this action. 

This action is within the scope of the 

February 18, 2012 certification. Based 

on the Economic Analysis discussed in 

Unit XI. and EPA’s experience 

promulgating SNURs (discussed in the 

certification), EPA believes that the 

following are true: 

• A significant number of SNUNs 

would not be submitted by small 

entities in response to the SNUR. 

• Submission of the SNUN would not 

cost any small entity significantly more 

than $8,300. 

Therefore, the promulgation of the 

SNUR would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

Based on EPA’s experience with 

proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, 

local, and Tribal governments have not 

been impacted by these rulemakings, 

and EPA does not have any reasons to 

believe that any State, local, or Tribal 

government will be impacted by this 

action. As such, EPA has determined 

that this action does not impose any 

enforceable duty, contain any unfunded 

mandate, or otherwise have any effect 

on small governments subject to the 

requirements of UMRA sections 202, 

203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). 

E. Executive Order 13132 

This action will not have a substantial 

direct effect on States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999). 

F. Executive Order 13175 

This action does not have Tribal 

implications because it is not expected 

to have substantial direct effects on 

Indian Tribes. This action does not 

significantly nor uniquely affect the 

communities of Indian Tribal 

governments, nor does it involve or 

impose any requirements that affect 

Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply 

to this action.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 21 / Monday, February 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 5467 

G. Executive Order 13045 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because this is not an 

economically significant regulatory 

action as defined by Executive Order 

12866, and this action does not address 

environmental health or safety risks 

disproportionately affecting children. 

H. Executive Order 13211 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, entitled ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001), because this action is not 

expected to affect energy supply, 

distribution, or use and because this 

action is not a significant regulatory 

action under Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

In addition, since this action does not 

involve any technical standards, 

NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 

note), does not apply to this action. 

J. Executive Order 12898 

This action does not entail special 

considerations of environmental justice 

related issues as delineated by 

Executive Order 12898, entitled 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

XIII. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 

submit a report containing this rule and 

other required information to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal 

Register. This action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
