37608 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

Copyright Office finds that such 

registrations were issued in error. 

The Office recognizes that in one 

unreported decision, a district court 

concluded, albeit with misgivings, that 

there were triable issues of fact whether 

a sufficient number of individual yoga 

asanas were arranged in a sufficiently 

creative manner to warrant copyright 

protection. See Open Source Yoga 

Unity, discussed above. However, that 

court did not consider whether section 

102(a) or (b) would bar a copyright 

claim in such a compilation. 

The Copyright Office concludes that 

the section 102(a) categories of 

copyrightable subject matter not only 

establish what is copyrightable, but also 

necessarily serve to limit copyrightable 

subject matter as well. Accordingly, 

when a compilation does not result in 

one or more congressionally-established 

categories of authorship, claims in 

compilation authorship will be refused.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances; Withdrawal of 

Significant New Use Rules 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing 

significant new use rules (SNURs) 

promulgated under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 

seven chemical substances which were 

the subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). EPA published these SNURs 

using direct final rulemaking 

procedures. EPA received a notice of 

intent to submit adverse comments on 

the rule. Therefore, the Agency is 

withdrawing these SNURs, as required 

under the expedited SNUR rulemaking 

process. EPA intends to publish in the 

near future proposed SNURs for these 

seven chemical substances under 

separate notice and comment 

procedures. 

DATES: This final rule is effective June 

26, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

A list of potentially affected entities is 

provided in the Federal Register of 

April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236) (FRL– 

9343–4). If you have questions regarding 

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. What rule is being withdrawn? 

In the Federal Register of April 27, 

2012 (77 FR 25236), EPA issued several 

direct final SNURs, including SNURs 

for seven chemical substances that are 

the subject of this withdrawal. These 

direct final rules were issued pursuant 

to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart D. In accordance with 

§ 721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is withdrawing 

these rules issued for seven chemical 

substances which were the subject of 

PMNs P–10–548, P–10–550, P–10–551, 

P–10–552, P–10–553, P–10–554, and P– 

10–555 because the Agency received 

notice of intent to submit adverse 

comments. EPA intends to publish 

proposed SNURs for these chemical 

substances under separate notice and 

comment procedures. 

For further information regarding 

EPA’s expedited process for issuing 

SNURs, interested parties are directed to 

40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the 

Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 

31314). The record for the direct final 

SNUR for these chemical substances 

that are being withdrawn was 

established at EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011– 

0577. That record includes information 

considered by the Agency in developing 

this rule and the notice of intent to 

submit adverse comments. 

III. How do I access the docket? 

To access the electronic docket, 

please go to http://www.regulations.gov 

and follow the on-line instructions to 

access docket ID number EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2011–0577. Additional 

information about the Docket Facility is 

provided under ADDRESSES in the 

Federal Register of April 27, 2012 (77 

FR 25236). If you have questions, 

consult the technical person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule revokes or eliminates 

existing regulatory requirements and 

does not contain any new or amended 

requirements. As such, the Agency has 

determined that this withdrawal will 

not have any adverse impacts, economic 

or otherwise. The statutory and 

executive order review requirements 

applicable to the direct final rule were 

discussed in the Federal Register of 

April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236). Those 

review requirements do not apply to 

this action because it is a withdrawal 

and does not contain any new or 

amended requirements. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

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

Significant New Use Rule on Certain 

Chemical Substances; Withdrawal of 

Significant New Use Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing a 

significant new use rule (SNUR) 

promulgated under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 

chemical substances identified 

generically as complex strontium 

aluminum, rare earth doped, which 

were the subject of premanufacture 

notices (PMNs) P–12–22, P–12–23, P– 

12–24, P–12–25, and P–12–26. EPA 

published this SNUR using direct final 

rulemaking procedures. EPA received a 

notice of intent to submit adverse 

comments on the rule. Therefore, the 

Agency is withdrawing this SNUR, as 

required under the expedited SNUR 

rulemaking process. Elsewhere in 

today’s Federal Register, EPA is 

publishing (under separate notice and 

comment procedures) a proposed SNUR 

for these chemical substances. 

DATES: This final rule is effective June 

25, 2012.

II. What rule is being withdrawn? 

In the Federal Register of April 25, 

2012 (77 FR 24613), EPA issued several 

direct final SNURs, including a SNUR 

for the chemical substances that are the 

subject of this withdrawal. These direct 

final rules were issued pursuant to the 

procedures in 40 CFR part 721, subpart 

D. In accordance with § 721.160(c)(3)(ii), 

EPA is withdrawing the rule issued for 

chemical substances identified 

generically as complex strontium 

aluminum, rare earth doped, which 

were the subject of PMNs P–12–22, P– 

12–23, P–12–24, P–12–25, and P–12–26, 

because the Agency received a notice of 

intent to submit adverse comments. 

Elsewhere in today’s Federal Register, 

EPA is proposing a SNUR for these 

chemical substances via notice and 

comment rulemaking. 

For further information regarding 

EPA’s expedited process for issuing 

SNURs, interested parties are directed to 

40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the 

Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR

SNUR for these chemical substances 

that is being withdrawn was established 

at EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0182. That 

record includes information considered 

by the Agency in developing this rule 

and the notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments.

This final rule revokes or eliminates 

an existing regulatory requirement and 

does not contain any new or amended 

requirements. As such, the Agency has 

determined that this withdrawal will 

not have any adverse impacts, economic

executive order review requirements 

applicable to the direct final rule were 

discussed in the Federal Register of 

April 25, 2012 (77 FR 24613). Those 

review requirements do not apply to 

this action because it is a withdrawal 

and does not contain any new or 

amended requirements. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the
