Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances; Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct 

final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing 

significant new use rules (SNURs) 

promulgated under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for four 

chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). EPA published these SNURs 

using direct final rulemaking 

procedures. EPA received notices of 

intent to submit adverse comments on 

these rules. 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 

four chemical substances under separate 

notice and comment procedures. 

DATES: This final rule is effective April 

14, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

A list of potentially affected entities is 

provided in the Federal Register of 

February 12, 2014 (79 FR 8273) (FRL– 

9903–70). 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 direct final SNURs are being 

withdrawn? 

In the Federal Register of February 

12, 2014 (79 FR 8273), EPA issued 

several direct final SNURs, including 

SNURs for four 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 rules issued for the chemical 

substances generically identified as MDI 

modified polyalkene glycols; acrylic 

acid esters polymers, reaction products 

with polyisocyanate; 1,3- 

benzenedicarboxylic acid, polymer with 

1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4- 

dimethyl 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, 2,2- 

dimethyl-1,3- 

propanediol,dodecanedioic acid, 1,2- 

ethanediol, hexanedioic acid, 1,6- 

hexanediol, alkyldiol ester and aromatic 

isocyanate; and methylene diisocyanate 

polymer with polypropylene glycol and 

diols, which were the subject of PMNs 

P–13–365, P–13–392, P–13–393, and P– 

13–471, respectively, because the 

Agency received notices 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 the chemical substances that 

are being removed was established at 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2013–0739. That 

record includes information considered 

by the Agency in developing this rule 

and the notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

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 

or otherwise. The statutory and 

executive order review requirements 

applicable to the direct final rule were 

discussed in the Federal Register of 

February 12, 2014 (79 FR 8273). Those 

review requirements do not apply to 

this action because it is a withdrawal 

and does not contain any new or 

amended requirements. 

IV. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

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).

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

45 CFR Part 18 

Official Symbol, Logo and Seal 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) is 

adopting requirements on the use of its 

official logo and seal. Use by any person 

or organization may be made only with 

prior written approval. Wrongful use of 

an official logo or seal is subject to 

administrative action and/or criminal 

penalty. HHS believes that this rule is 

non-controversial, and HHS anticipates 

no significant adverse comment. If HHS 

receives a significant adverse comment, 

it will withdraw the rule. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 14, 

2014 without further action, unless 

adverse comment is received by April 

29, 2014. If adverse comment is 

received, HHS will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the rule in the Federal 

Register. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by Mail/Hand Delivery/Courier to: 

Gloria Barnes, Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public Affairs, 200 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20201. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Gloria Barnes, Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public Affairs 

(gloria.barnes@hhs.gov) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS is 

adopting regulations (45 CFR Part 18) on 

the use of its official logo and seal. HHS 

has developed a logo and seal that 

signifies the authoritativeness of the 

item or document to which it is affixed 

as an official endorsement of HHS. The 

logo and seal is to be used for official 

HHS business or as approved under 

HHS’ regulations. 

HHS believes there is good cause to 

bypass notice and comment and 

proceed to a direct final rule pursuant 

to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). The rule is noncontroversial and merely describes 

HHS’ official logo and seal. Because this 

rule only impacts HHS’ procedure and 

practice, notice and comment is 

unnecessary. Although HHS believes 

this direct final rule will not elicit any 

significant adverse comments, if such 

comments are received, HHS will 

publish a timely notice of withdrawal in 

the Federal Register. 

Executive Order No. 12866 

This rule does not meet the criteria for 

a significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. Thus, review by 

the Office of Management and Budget is 

not required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Therefore, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis as 

provided by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, as amended, is not required. 

List of Subjects in 45 CFR Part 18 

Seals and insignia. 

For the reasons set out in the 

preamble, HHS adds Part 18 to Title 45, 

Subtitle A, subchapter A of the Code of 

Federal Regulations as follows: 

Subtitle A—Department of Health and 

Human Services 

Subchapter A—General Administration

AND SEAL 

Sec. 

18.1 Description of the Symbol, Logo, and 

Seal. 

18.2 Authority to affix Symbol, Logo, and 

Seal. 

18.3 Official, unofficial or misuse of HHS 

emblems. 

18.4 Prohibitions against unofficial use or 

misuse of the Symbol, Logo, or Seal. 

18.5 Compliance and enforcement. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 3505; 5 U.S.C. 301. 

§ 18.1 Description of the Symbol, Logo, 

and Seal. 

(a) The Departmental Symbol 

(Symbol) of the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) is the key 

element in Department identification. It 

represents the American People 

sheltered in the wing of the American 

Eagle, suggesting the Department’s 

concern and responsibility for the 

welfare of the people. This Symbol is 

the visual link which connects the 

graphic communications of all 

components and programs of the 

Department. It is the major design 

component for the Department 

Identifiers—the Department Logo, Seal, 

and Signatures. 

(b) The Symbol is described as 

follows: The outline of an American 

Eagle, facing left, with one of its wings 

stretched upward and the other wing 

pointed downward, is flanked on its 

right side by two outlines of the profile 

of a human head, both of which are 

located in between the eagle’s wings. 

One of the profile outlines is smaller 

than the other and is nestled in the 

larger outline. 

(c) The HHS Departmental Logo 

(Logo) incorporates the Symbol and is 

described as follows: From the tip of the 

outstretched wing of the American Eagle 

in the Symbol to the tip of the other, 

downward-facing wing, the words, 

‘‘DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & 

HUMAN SERVICES • USA’’ form a 

circular arc. 

(d) The HHS Departmental Seal (Seal) 

incorporates the Symbol and is 

described as follows: Starting from the 

tip of the downward-facing wing of the 

American Eagle in the HHS Symbol and 

forming a complete circle clockwise 

around the HHS Symbol, the words, 

‘‘DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & 

HUMAN SERVICES • USA •’’ are
