or before January 21, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2010–0924, by 

one of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Document Control Office 

(7407M), Office of Pollution Prevention 

and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–

The DCO is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

DCO is (202) 564–8930. Such deliveries 

are only accepted during the DCO’s 

normal hours of operation, and special

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–

comments received will be included in 

the docket without change and may be 

made available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or email. The regulations.gov Web site is an 

‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your e-mail address 

will be automatically captured and 

included as part of the comment that is 

placed in the docket and made available 

on the Internet. If you submit an 

electronic comment, EPA recommends 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available electronically at 

http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the OPPT 

Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in 

the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 

3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This notice is directed to the public

particular interest to you if you 

manufacture (defined by statute to 

include import) and/or process TSCAcovered chemicals and you may be 

identified by the North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes 325 and 32411. Because 

this notice is directed to the general

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced.

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background 

The Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 260l et seq.) 

authorizes the Administrator of EPA to 

promulgate regulations under TSCA 

section 4(a) requiring testing of 

chemicals and chemical groups in order 

to develop data relevant to determining 

the risks that such chemicals and 

chemical groups may present to health 

or the environment. Section 4(e) of 

TSCA established the ITC to 

recommend chemicals and chemical 

groups to the Administrator of EPA for 

priority testing consideration. Section 

4(e) of TSCA directs the ITC to revise 

the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing 

List at least every 6 months. 

You may access additional 

information about the ITC at http:// 

www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc. 

A. The 67th ITC Report 

The ITC is not making any changes to 

the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing 

List. 

B. Status of the Priority Testing List 

The Priority Testing List includes 2 

alkylphenols, 12 lead compounds, 16 

chemicals with insufficient dermal 

absorption rate data, and 207 High 

Production Volume (HPV) Challenge 

Program orphan chemicals.

I. Background 

The ITC was established by section 

4(e) of TSCA ‘‘to make recommendations 

to the Administrator respecting the 

chemical substances and mixtures to 

which the Administrator should give 

priority consideration for the 

promulgation of rules for testing under 

section 4(a) * * * At least every six 

months * * *, the Committee shall 

make such revisions to the Priority 

Testing List as it determines to be 

necessary and transmit them to the 

Administrator together with the 

Committee’s reasons for the revisions’’ 

(Public Law 94–469, 90 Stat. 2003 et 

seq., 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). ITC reports 

are available from the ITC’s website 

(http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc) 

within a few days of submission to the 

EPA Administrator and from 

regulations.gov (http:// 

www.regulations.gov) after publication 

in the Federal Register. The ITC 

produces its revisions to the Priority 

Testing List with administrative and 

technical support from the ITC staff, ITC 

members, and their U.S. Government 

organizations, and contract support
