Preliminary Assessment Information 

Reporting; Addition of Certain 

Chemicals 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule and Technical 

corrections. 

SUMMARY: This final rule, issued 

pursuant to section 8(a) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA), requires 

certain manufacturers (including 

importers) of certain High Production 

Volume (HPV) Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals to 

submit a one-time report on general 

production/ importation volume, end 

use, and exposure-related information to 

EPA. The Interagency Testing 

Committee (ITC), established under 

section 4(e) of TSCA to recommend 

chemicals and chemical mixtures to 

EPA for priority testing consideration, 

amends the TSCA Section 4(e) Priority 

Testing List through periodic reports 

submitted to EPA. The ITC recently 

added certain HPV Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals to the 

Priority Testing List in its 55th and 56th

ITC Reports, as amended by deletions to 

this list made in its 56th and 58th ITC 

Reports. Two tungsten oxide 

compounds were added to the Priority 

Testing List by the ITC in its 55th ITC 

Report but were removed from the 

Priority Testing List in the 58th ITC 

Report. In addition, EPA is making 

technical corrections to update the EPA 

addresses to which submissions under 

the Preliminary Assessment Information 

Reporting (PAIR) rule must be mailed or 

delivered. This update reflects the 

completion of the Agency’s move to the 

Federal Triangle complex in 

Washington, DC. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

September 15, 2006. However, 

§ § 712.28 and 712.30(c), which contain 

technical corrections, are effective 

August 16, 2006. 

For purposes of judicial review, this 

rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. 

eastern daylight/standard time on 

August 30, 2006. (See 40 CFR 23.5) 

PAIR Forms must be submitted to 

EPA on or before November 14, 2006. 

A request to withdraw a chemical 

from this PAIR rule, pursuant to 40 CFR 

712.30(c), must be received on or before 

August 30, 2006. (See Unit IV. 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 (defined 

by statute to include import) any of the 

chemical substances that are listed in 40 

CFR 712.30(e) of the regulatory text of 

this document. Entities potentially 

affected by this action may include, but 

are not limited to: 

• Chemical manufacturers (including 

importers), (NAICS codes 325, 324110), 

e.g., persons who manufacture (defined 

by statute to include import) one or 

more of the subject chemical substances. 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. The North 

American Industrial Classification 

System (NAICS) codes have been 

provided to assist you and others in 

determining whether this action might 

apply to certain entities. If you have any 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How Do I Submit CBI Information? 

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 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. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is issuing a PAIR rule under 

TSCA section 8(a) which requires 

certain manufacturers (including 

importers) of certain voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals (as defined by 

the ITC in its 55th, 56th, and 58th ITC 

Reports (Refs. 1, 2, and 3)) added to the 

ITC’s TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing 

List to submit production and exposure 

reports. The regulatory text of this 

document lists certain voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals that are being 

added to the PAIR rule. (For additional 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 47123 

information about EPA’s voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program, visit the Challenge 

Program website at http://www.epa.gov/ 

chemrtk/volchall.htm). 

EPA is also making minor 

amendments to update the EPA 

addresses to which submissions under 

the PAIR rule must be sent or delivered 

(40 CFR 712.28 and 712.30). 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

EPA promulgated the PAIR rule under 

TSCA section 8(a) (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)), 

and it is codified at 40 CFR part 712. 

EPA uses this model TSCA section 8(a) 

rule to quickly gather current 

information on chemicals. This model 

TSCA section 8(a) rule establishes 

standard reporting requirements for 

certain manufacturers (including 

importers) of the chemicals listed in 40 

CFR 712.30. These entities are required 

to submit a one-time report on general 

production/importation volume, end 

use, and exposure-related information 

using the PAIR Form entitled 

Manufacturer’s Report-Preliminary 

Assessment Information (EPA Form No. 

7710–35). (See 40 CFR 712.28.) 

This model TSCA section 8(a) rule 

provides for the addition of TSCA 

section 4(e) Priority Testing List 

chemicals. Whenever EPA announces 

the receipt of an ITC Report, EPA 

amends, unless otherwise instructed by 

the ITC, the model TSCA section 8(a) 

information-gathering rule by adding 

the recommended (or designated) 

chemicals. The amendment adding 

these chemicals to the PAIR rule is 

effective 30 days after the date of 

publication in the Federal Register. 

C. Why is this Action Being Issued as a 

Final Rule? 

EPA is publishing this action as a 

final rule without prior notice and an 

opportunity for comment pursuant to 

the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 

712.30(c). EPA finds that there is ‘‘good 

cause’’ under the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B)) to make these amendments 

without prior notice and comment. EPA 

believes notice and an opportunity for 

comment on this action are 

unnecessary. TSCA directs the ITC to 

add chemicals to the Priority Testing 

List for which EPA should give priority 

consideration. EPA also lacks the 

authority to remove a chemical from the 

Priority Testing List once it has been 

added by the ITC. As explained earlier 

in this PAIR rule, pursuant to 40 CFR 

712.30(c), once the ITC adds a chemical 

to the Priority Testing List, EPA in turn 

is obliged to add that chemical to the 

list of chemicals subject to PAIR 

reporting requirements, unless 

requested not to do so by the ITC. EPA 

promulgated this procedure in 1985 

after having solicited public comment 

on the need for and mechanics of this 

procedure. (See the Federal Register of 

August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34805)). 

Because that rulemaking established the 

procedure for adding ITC chemicals to 

the PAIR rule, it is unnecessary to 

request comment on the procedure in 

this action. EPA believes this action 

does not raise any relevant issues for 

comment. EPA is not changing the PAIR 

reporting requirements or the process 

set forth in 40 CFR 712.30(c). Finally, 40 

CFR 712.30(c) does provide EPA with 

the discretion to withdraw a chemical 

from the PAIR rule if a chemical 

manufacturer submits to EPA 

information showing good cause that a 

chemical should be removed from the 

PAIR rule. 

III. Final Rule 

A. What Chemicals are to be Added ? 

In this PAIR rule, EPA is adding 

certain voluntary HPV Challenge 

Program orphan (unsponsored) 

chemicals as requested by the ITC in its 

55th, 56th, and 58th ITC Reports (Refs. 1, 

2, and 3). These chemicals are listed in 

40 CFR 712.30(e) of the regulatory text 

of this document. 

B. Who Must Report Under this PAIR 

Rule? 

Persons who manufactured (defined 

by statute to include import) the 

chemicals identified in 40 CFR 

712.30(e) of the regulatory text of this 

document during their latest complete 

corporate fiscal year must submit a 

PAIR Form for each site at which they 

manufactured or imported a named 

substance. Exemptions from this 

reporting requirement are found at 40 

CFR 712.25. A separate form must be 

completed for each substance and 

submitted to the Agency as specified in 

40 CFR 712.28 no later than November 

14, 2006. Persons who have previously 

and voluntarily submitted a PAIR Form 

to the ITC may be able to submit a copy 

of the original report to EPA along with 

an accompanying letter notifying EPA of 

the respondent’s intent that the 

submission be used in lieu of a current 

data submission. Persons who have 

previously and voluntarily submitted a 

PAIR Form to EPA may be able to notify 

EPA by letter of their desire to have this 

voluntary submission accepted in lieu 

of a current data submission. (See 40 

CFR 712.30(a)(3)). 

Details of the PAIR reporting 

requirements, including the basis for 

exemptions, are provided in 40 CFR part 

712. Specifically, 40 CFR 712.28(d) 

provides information on the availability 

of the PAIR Form. Copies of the PAIR 

Form are available from the general 

information contact person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Copies of the PAIR Form are also 

available electronically from the 

Chemical Testing and Information 

Branch Home Page at http:// 

www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemtest/ 

pairform.pdf. 

C. Economic Analysis 

The economic analysis for the 

addition of certain voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals to the PAIR 

rule is entitled Economic Analysis of the 

Addition of Chemicals from the 55th, 

56th, and 58th ITC Report to the TSCA 

8(a) PAIR Rule (Ref. 4). EPA identified 

174 manufacturers of the 243 voluntary 

HPV Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals in its 2002 

Chemical Update System, which 

contains data reported under the 

Inventory Update Rule (IUR). The IUR 

required manufacturers (including 

importers) of certain chemical 

substances included in the TSCA 

Chemical Substances Inventory to report 

current data on the production volume, 

plant site, and site-limited status of 

these substances (as of the upcoming 

2006 reporting cycle, information in 

addition to these data elements will also 

be reported). Since 1986, reporting 

under the IUR has taken place at 4–year 

intervals (reporting will occur in 5–year 

intervals after 2006). The threshold for 

reporting under the IUR (prior to the 

upcoming 2006 reporting cycle, for 

which the threshold will be 25,000 lbs) 

has been 10,000 lbs and the threshold 

for PAIR reporting is 1,100 lbs (500 

kilograms (kg)). Because EPA’s existing 

IUR data excludes any entities with 

production or importation volumes in 

the 1,100–10,000 lbs range, EPA’s 

analysis may slightly underestimate the 

costs of the present PAIR rule. The PAIR 

rule exempts a firm from reporting if the 

total annual sales from all sites owned 

or controlled by the parent company are 

below $30 million for the reporting 

period and total production for the 

reporting period is below 45,400 kg 

(100,000 lbs) of the chemical at the 

plant. 

EPA used the IUR data to estimate the 

potential number of companies and sites 

likely to submit PAIR reports and the 

number of estimated reports, and to 

develop appropriate assumptions 

needed to estimate overall costs. Much 

of the data reported under IUR is CBI, 

and as a result it is not detailed in the 

economic analysis (Ref. 3). EPA’s review 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
47124 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

of the 2002 IUR data for the 243 

voluntary HPV Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals 

identified 312 sites that filed 547 IUR 

reports. Two of the sites meet the PAIR 

rule’s exemption criteria and therefore 

are not expected to have to submit PAIR 

reports. An additional three sites that 

manufacture (including import) two 

voluntary HPV Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals are 

expected to have one of their two 

chemicals meet the exemption criteria 

which further reduces the number of 

PAIR reports expected. Therefore, the 

total number of sites expected to 

provide PAIR reports is 310, and an 

estimated total of 541 reports is 

expected. By researching corporate 

affiliations for these 310 sites, EPA 

estimates that 172 firms (i.e., ultimate 

corporate entities (UCEs)) 

manufacturing (including importing) the 

voluntary HPV Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals will 

need to comply with the PAIR rule. 

Therefore, EPA anticipates 541 

reports from 310 sites for 172 firms to 

be covered by this PAIR rule. Given the 

assumptions in this unit, the costs and 

burden associated with this PAIR rule 

are estimated in the Economic Analysis 

(Ref. 3) to be the following: 

Industry Costs (dollars) 

The estimated total cost to industry 

under this PAIR reporting rule is 

$643,730. The total industry cost 

divided by sites yields an average per 

site cost of $2,077 (i.e., $643,730/310 

sites). Costs are expected to occur 

within a time frame of a single year. 

Therefore, costs have not been 

annualized. 

EPA Costs (dollars) 

Personnel requirements are derived 

from the 1989 PAIR Information 

Collection Request (ICR) update, which 

estimated that industry and public 

assistance required 0.00072 full time 

employees (FTEs) per report and data 

processing/system support required 

0.0018 FTEs per report. Data processing 

costs for the 1996 PAIR ICR update were 

estimated to be approximately $199.56 

per report. Adjusting this number to 

2003 dollars with the Gross Domestic 

Product (GDP) implicit price deflator 

(BEA 2005) yields an adjusted data 

processing cost of $224.80 per report 

(i.e., $199.56 x 1.1265). This analysis 

estimates that a total of 541 reports will 

be submitted. EPA estimates the Agency 

costs to be $247,800. 

D. Additional Amendments to Update 

EPA Addresses 

EPA is making minor amendments to 

update the EPA addresses to which 

submissions under the PAIR reporting 

rule must be sent or delivered (40 CFR 

712.28 and 712.30). This update to the 

EPA addresses reflects the completion 

of the Agency’s move to the Federal 

Triangle complex in Washington, DC. 

The addresses listed in the existing 

regulation are no longer the correct or 

complete Agency addresses to which 

this material must be submitted. The 

Agency finds that notice and comment 

on these amendments is unnecessary. 

The update is not substantive and does 

not affect the information manufacturers 

must report. The amendments merely 

reflect a change in the Agency’s 

location. The Agency therefore finds the 

amendments to be minor in nature. 

IV. Requesting a Chemical be 

Withdrawn from the Rule 

As specified in 40 CFR 712.30(c), EPA 

may remove a chemical substance, 

mixture, or category of chemical 

substances from this PAIR rule for good 

cause prior to September 15, 2006. Any 

person who believes that the reporting 

required by this PAIR rule is not 

warranted for a chemical listed in this 

PAIR rule, must submit to EPA detailed 

reasons for that belief. 

EPA has established a policy 

regarding acceptance of new 

commitments to sponsor chemicals 

under the voluntary HPV Challenge 

Program (Ref. 5). Under this policy, EPA 

will accept new commitments to 

sponsor chemicals under the voluntary 

HPV Challenge Program for any of the 

243 voluntary HPV Challenge Program 

orphan (unsponsored) chemicals listed 

in the regulatory text of this document 

until August 30, 2006. In accordance 

with the procedures described in 40 

CFR 712.30(c), withdrawal requests 

submitted by chemical manufacturers in 

conjunction with these new 

commitments must be received on or 

before August 30, 2006. Voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals for which new 

commitments are accepted based on 

EPA’s policy will be removed from the 

PAIR rule, and a Federal Register 

document announcing these withdrawal 

decisions will be published before the 

effective date of this PAIR rule (i.e., 

September 15, 2006). 

You must submit your request to EPA 

on or before August 30, 2006 and in 

accordance with the instructions 

provided in 40 CFR 712.30(c), which are 

briefly summarized here. In addition, to 

ensure proper receipt, EPA recommends 

that you identify docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2005–0014 in the 

subject line on the first page of your 

submission. If the Administrator 

withdraws a chemical substance, 

mixture, or category of chemical 

substances from the amendment, a 

Federal Register document announcing 

this decision will be published no later 

than September 15, 2006.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has exempted actions under 

TSCA section 8(a) related to the PAIR 

rule from the requirements of Executive 

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory 

Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection 

requirements contained in TSCA section 

8(a) PAIR rules have already been 

approved by OMB under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 

44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and OMB control 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 47125 

number 2070–0054 (EPA ICR No. 0586). 

The collection activities in this final 

rule are captured by the existing 

approval and do not require additional 

review and/or approval by OMB. 

EPA estimates that the information 

collection activities related to PAIR 

reporting for all chemicals in this final 

rule will result in a total industry 

burden estimated to be 13,712 hours. An 

estimated 310 sites are expected to 

provide PAIR reports. Therefore, the 

estimated burden per respondent is 44 

hours (13,712 hours/310 sites). As 

defined by the PRA and 5 CFR 

1320.3(b), ‘‘burden’’ means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal Agency. 

This includes the time needed to: 

Review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install, and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating, and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Under the PRA, an agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection request unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 

and included on the related collection 

instrument. 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. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Pursuant to section 605(b) of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., the Agency hereby 

certifies that this final rule will not have 

a significant adverse economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The factual basis for the 

Agency’s determination is presented in 

the small entity impact analysis 

prepared as part of the economic 

analysis for this rule (Ref. 4), and is 

briefly summarized here. 

Section 601(3) of RFA establishes as 

the default definition of ‘‘small 

business’’ the definition used in section 

3 of the Small Business Act (SBA), 15 

U.S.C. 632, under which the SBA 

establishes small business size 

standards for each industry sector (13 

CFR 121.201). For this final rule, EPA 

has analyzed the potential small 

business impacts using the size 

standards established under the default 

definition. The SBA size standards, 

which are primarily intended to 

determine whether a business entity is 

eligible for government programs and 

preferences reserved for small 

businesses (13 CFR 121.101), ‘‘seek to 

ensure that a concern that meets a 

specific size standard is not dominant in 

its field of operation’’ (13 CFR 

121.102(b)). (See section 632(a)(1) of 

SBA.) The SBA size standards are 

generally based upon the number of 

employees or level of sales that an entity 

in a certain industrial sector may have. 

Entities are classified into industrial 

sectors based upon their NAICS code. 

EPA determined that the 172 UCEs 

subject to this PAIR rule fall into 77 

unique NAICS codes. EPA confirmed 

through its analysis that 26 of the 172 

affected firms are small businesses. In 

addition, there are another four firms for 

which sales and/or employment data are 

not available to make this 

determination. 

To determine whether compliance 

costs for the small business sector may 

differ, EPA analyzed the data specific to 

these UCEs. Based on reporting to the 

IUR, EPA estimates that 27 small 

businesses will submit 34 reports for 29 

sites. The average number of reports per 

company is 1.3, although, at least one of 

the companies is expected to submit at 

least three PAIR reports. EPA estimates 

the total cost for a small business with 

three sites as $4,023. However, nearly 

90 percent of the small businesses will 

have only one report to submit. For 

these companies, the cost is 

approximately $1,500 per company 

assuming they undertake CBI 

substantiation and trademark 

notification. 

EPA compared the cost of compliance 

for a small business to its sales and 

found that no companies would 

experience an impact of greater than 1% 

of its sales. In the case of a small 

business that submits three reports, EPA 

estimates that the firm would have to 

generate less than $402,300 in annual 

sales to experience a 1% impact. For 

those small businesses where EPA has 

available data (25 of the 27), the average 

sales data for a small business is greater 

than $258 million and the minimum 

annual sales was over $3.7 million. 

Therefore, EPA concludes that the 

impact of the rule on these small 

businesses will be minimal. 

For the six companies where sales 

data were not available, EPA 

determined that each has only one site, 

with all but one site producing a single 

reportable chemical. Therefore, the 

average cost for those companies is 

approximately $1,500. Given that the 

lowest sales revenue for small 

businesses where sales could be 

identified was $3.7 million, the average 

cost to those companies is expected to 

be well below 1% of the sales of the 

company. Therefore, EPA does not 

believe it is likely that the cost of the 

rule to these businesses will be 

significant. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 

Public Law 104–4, EPA has determined 

that this rule does not contain a Federal 

mandate that may result in expenditures 

of $100 million or more for State, local, 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

or the private sector in any 1 year. In 

addition, EPA has determined that this 

rule will not significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments. Accordingly, 

the rule is not subject to the 

requirements of UMRA sections 202, 

203, 204, or 205. 

E. Executive Order 13132 and 13175 

Based on EPA’s experience with past 

TSCA section 8(a) rules, State, local, 

and tribal governments have not been 

impacted by these rules, and EPA does 

not have any reasons to believe that any 

State, local, or tribal government will be 

impacted by this rule. As a result, these 

rules are not subject to the requirements 

in Executive Order 13132, entitled 

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999) or Executive Order 13175, entitled 

Consultation and Coordination with 

Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 6, 2000). 

F. Executive Order 13045 

Executive Order 13045, entitled 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,1997), does 

not apply to this rule, because it is not 

‘‘economically significant’’ as defined 

under Executive Order 12866, and does 

not concern an environmental health or 

safety risk that may have a 

disproportionate effect on children. This 

rule requires the one-time reporting on 

general production/importation volume, 

end use, and exposure-related 

information to EPA by certain 

manufacturers (including importers) of 

certain chemicals requested by the ITC 

to be added to the PAIR rule in its 55th, 

56th, and 58th ITC Reports (Ref. 1, 2, and 

3).

47126 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

G. Executive Order 13211 

This rule 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. 

H. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act 

This action does not involve any 

technical standards that would require 

Agency consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 

(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section 

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Section 12(d) 

of NTTAA directs EPA to use voluntary 

consensus standards in its regulatory 

activities unless to do so would be 

inconsistent with applicable law or 

otherwise impractical. Voluntary 

consensus standards are technical 

standards (e.g., materials specifications, 

test methods, sampling procedures, and 

business practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. The NTTAA directs 

EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, 

explanations when the Agency decides 

not to use available and applicable 

voluntary consensus standards. 

I. Executive Order 12898 

This action does not involve special 

considerations of environmental justicerelated issues pursuant to Executive 

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to 

Address Environmental Justice in 

Minority Populations and Low-Income 

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

VII. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to 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).

Substances Control Act (TSCA), requires 

manufacturers (including importers) of 

the chemicals listed in this document in 

the category of voluntary High 

Production Volume (HPV) Challenge 

Program orphan (unsponsored) 

chemicals to report certain unpublished 

health and safety data to EPA. The 

Interagency Testing Committee (ITC), 

established under section 4(e) of TSCA 

to recommend chemical substances and 

mixtures to EPA for priority testing 

consideration, amends the TSCA section 

4(e) Priority Testing List through 

periodic reports submitted to EPA. The 

ITC recently added voluntary HPV 

Challenge Program orphan 

(unsponsored) chemicals to the Priority 

Testing List in its 55th and 56th ITC 

Reports, as amended by deletions to this 

list made in its 56th and 58th ITC 

Reports. In addition, EPA is making 

technical corrections to update the EPA 

addresses to which submissions under 

the health and safety data reporting rule 

must be mailed or delivered. This 

update reflects the completion of the 

Agency’s move to the Federal Triangle 

complex in Washington, DC. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

September 15, 2006. However, 

§ § 716.30, 716.35, 716.60, and 716.105, 

which contain technical corrections, are 

effective August 16, 2006. 

For purposes of judicial review, this 

rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. 

eastern daylight/standard time on 

August 30, 2006. (See 40 CFR 23.5) 

A request to withdraw a chemical 

from this rule pursuant to 40 CFR 

716.105(c) must be received on or before 

August 30, 2006. (See Unit IV. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.)
