**AGENCY** 

### : Department of State.

**ACTION** 

### : Final rule; correction and correcting amendments.

**SUMMARY** 

### : The Department of State is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37536) and making other, minor changes.

**DATES** 

### : This rule is effective on December 30, 2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**

ATTN: Regulatory Change, USML Category XI Final Rule, Correction. The Department of State’s full retrospective plan can be accessed at http://www. state.gov/documents/organization/ 181028.pdf.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** 

### : The Department is correcting the rule, ‘‘Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: United States Munitions List Category XI (Military Electronics), and Other Changes’’ published in the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37536), and effective on December 30, 2014. The changes in this rule are meant to clarify the regulation by revising certain text and providing conforming updates to Supplement No. 1 to part 126, taking into account revisions made to the USML categories in the rule published on July 1, 2014.

Additionally, minor corrections are made to section 126.6, as follows: 1) subparagraph (c)(4) is deleted to account for a previous revision to section 126.1 that excepts section 126.6; 2) subparagraph (c)(6)(ii) is revised to replace the obsolete term, ‘‘Shippers Export Declaration’’ with the correct term, ‘‘Electronic Export Information;’’ and, subparagraph (c)(7)(iv) is deleted to remove reference to the obsolete ‘‘Direct Shipment Verification Program.’’

Pursuant to ECR, the Department of Commerce has been publishing revisions to the Export Administration Regulations, including various revisions to the Commerce Control List (CCL). Revision of the USML and CCL are coordinated so there is uninterrupted regulatory coverage for items moving from the jurisdiction of the Department of State to that of the Department of Commerce.

The following corrections are made to the rule, ‘‘Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: United States Munitions List Category XI (Military Electronics), and Other Changes’’ published in the Federal Register of July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37536), and effective on December 30,
2014:

### Benzidine-Based Chemical **Substances; Di-n-pentyl Phthalate (DnPP); and Alkanes, C12-13, Chloro;**  **Significant New Use Rule**

**AGENCY** 

### : Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION** 

### : Final rule.

**SUMMARY** 

### : Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is promulgating a significant new use rule (SNUR) to add nine benzidine-based chemical substances to the existing SNUR on benzidine-based chemical substances. With respect to both the newly-added benzidine-based chemical substances and the previously-listed benzidine-based chemical substances, this rule makes inapplicable the exemption relating to persons that import or process substances as part of an article. EPA is also promulgating a SNUR for di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPP) and a SNUR for alkanes, C 12-13 

### , chloro. These actions require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing such manufacture or processing. The required notifications will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate activities associated with a significant new use and, if necessary based on the information available at that time, an opportunity to protect against potential unreasonable risks, if any, from that activity before it occurs. EPA is also making a technical amendment to the codified list of control numbers for approved information collection activities so that it includes the control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to the information collection activities contained in this rule.

**DATES** 

### : This final rule is effective February 27, 2015.

**ADDRESSES** 

### : The docket for this action, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2010–0573, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics Docket (OPPT Docket), EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC.
