in paragraphs (f) introductory text and 

(f)(1) through (4) of this section must be 

sent to the Administrator at the 

appropriate address listed in § 63.13. If 

acceptable to both the Administrator 

and the owner or operator of an EGU, 

these reports may be submitted on 

electronic media. The Administrator 

retains the right to require submittal of 

reports subject to paragraphs (f) 

introductory text and (f)(1) through (4) 

of this section in paper format. 

(6) Prior to April 16, 2017, all reports 

subject to electronic submittal in 

paragraphs (f) introductory text, (f)(1), 

(2), and (4) shall be submitted to the 

EPA at the frequency specified in those 

paragraphs in electronic portable 

document format (PDF) using the 

ECMPS Client Tool. Each PDF version 

of a submitted report must include 

sufficient information to assess 

compliance and to demonstrate that the 

testing was done properly. The 

following data elements must be entered 

into the ECMPS Client Tool at the time 

of submission of each PDF file: 

(i) The facility name, physical 

address, mailing address (if different 

from the physical address), and county; 

(ii) The ORIS code (or equivalent ID 

number assigned by EPA’s Clean Air 

Markets Division (CAMD)) and the 

Facility Registry System (FRS) ID; 

(iii) The EGU (or EGUs) to which the 

report applies. Report the EGU IDs as 

they appear in the CAMD Business 

System; 

(iv) If any of the EGUs in paragraph 

(f)(6)(iii) of this section share a common

according to part 75 of this chapter, 

report the ID number of the common 

stack as it is represented in the 

electronic monitoring plan required 

under § 75.53 of this chapter; 

(v) If any of the EGUs described in 

paragraph (f)(6)(iii) of this section are in 

an averaging plan under § 63.10009, 

indicate which EGUs are in the plan and 

whether it is a 30- or 90-day averaging 

plan; 

(vi) The identification of each 

emission point to which the report 

applies. An ‘‘emission point’’ is a point 

at which source effluent is released to 

the atmosphere, and is either a 

dedicated stack that serves one of the 

EGUs identified in paragraph (f)(6)(iii) 

of this section or a common stack that 

serves two or more of those EGUs. To 

identify an emission point, associate it 

with the EGU or stack ID in the CAMD 

Business system or the electronic 

monitoring plan (e.g., ‘‘Unit 2 stack,’’ 

‘‘common stack CS001,’’ or ‘‘multiple 

stack MS001’’); 

(vii) The rule citation (e.g., 

§ 63.10031(f)(1), § 63.10031(f)(2), etc.) 

for which the report is showing 

compliance; 

(viii) The pollutant(s) being addressed 

in the report;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture 

(including import), process, or use the 

chemical substances contained in this 

rule. Potentially affected entities may 

include, but are not limited to: 

• Manufacturers or processors of the 

chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 

and 324110), e.g., chemical 

manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. 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. To determine whether 

you or your business may be affected by 

this action, you should carefully 

examine the applicability provisions in 

§ 721.5. 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. 

This action may also affect certain 

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 

U.S.C. 2612) import certification 

requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 

12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR 

127.28. Chemical importers must certify 

that the shipment of the chemical 

substance complies with all applicable 

rules and orders under TSCA. Importers 

of chemicals subject to a SNUR must 

certify their compliance with the SNUR 

requirements. The EPA policy in 

support of import certification appears 

at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. Importers 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
15516 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 56 / Tuesday, March 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

of the chemical, the subject of this 

action, would no longer be required to 

certify compliance with the SNUR 

requirements if the revocation becomes 

effective. In addition, if this proposed 

SNUR revocation becomes effective, 

persons who export or intend to export 

the chemical that is the subject of this 

action would no longer be subject to the 

TSCA section 12(b)(15 U.S.C. 2611(b) 

export notification requirements at 40 

CFR part 707, that are currently 

triggered by the SNUR. 

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

In the Federal Register of December 

17, 2014 (79 FR 75111) (FRL-9919-93), 

EPA proposed a revocation of the SNUR 

at 40 CFR 721.4680 for the chemical 

substances identified generically as 

metal salts of complex inorganic 

oxyacids (PMNs P-89-576 and P-89- 

577). This SNUR designated certain 

activities as significant new uses based 

on a TSCA section 5(e) consent order for 

the PMNs that was issued under TSCA 

sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i), and 

5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II) based on a finding that 

the substances may be produced in 

substantial quantities and there may be 

significant (or substantial) human 

exposure to the substances. 

Subsequently, a manufacturer of the 

PMN substances petitioned EPA to 

revoke the SNUR based on the results of 

the submitted acute dermal study, a 28- 

day oral toxicity study, and 

mutagenicity study for P-89-576. Based 

on the results of the testing, EPA 

determined that both substances have 

inherently low toxicity. EPA received 

one comment to the proposed SNUR 

revocation supporting the finding that 

the PMN substances have low toxicity. 

EPA is now revoking the SNUR 

pursuant to 40 CFR 721.185. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Upon conclusion of the review for 

P-89-576 and P-89-577 in 1990, EPA 

designated certain activities as 

significant new uses based on a TSCA 

section 5(e) consent order for the PMNs 

that was issued under TSCA sections 

5(e)(1)(A)(i), and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II) based 

on a finding that the substances may be 

produced in substantial quantities and 

there may be significant (or substantial) 

human exposure to the substances. 

Under § 721.185, EPA may at any time 

revoke a SNUR for a chemical substance 

which has been added to subpart E of 

40 CFR part 721 if EPA makes one of the 

determinations set forth in 

§ 721.185(a)(1) through (a)(6). 

Revocation may occur on EPA’s 

initiative or in response to a written 

request. Under § 721.185(b)(3), if EPA 

concludes that a SNUR should be 

revoked, the Agency will propose the 

changes in the Federal Register, briefly 

describe the grounds for the action, and 

provide interested parties an 

opportunity to comment. 

EPA has determined that the criteria 

set forth in § 721.185(a)(6) have been 

satisfied for the chemical substances, 

proposed the SNUR revocation, and 

received a public comment supporting 

the SNUR revocation; therefore, EPA is 

revoking the SNUR for these chemical 

substances. The significant new use 

notification and the recordkeeping 

requirements at 40 CFR 721.4680 will 

terminate when the SNUR revocation 

becomes effective. In addition, export 

notification under TSCA section 12(b) 

and 40 CFR part 707, subpart D 

triggered by the SNUR will no longer be 

required. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This rule will revoke or eliminate an 

existing regulatory requirement and 

does not contain any new or amended 

requirements. As such, the Agency has 

determined that this SNUR revocation 

would not have any adverse impacts, 

economic or otherwise. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has exempted these types of 

regulatory actions from review under 

Executive Order 12866, entitled 

Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993). This rule does 

not contain any information collections 

subject to approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), (44 U.S.C.3501 et 

seq.). Since this rule eliminates a 

reporting requirement, the Agency 

certifies pursuant to section 605(b) of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), that this SNUR 

revocation will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

For the same reasons, this action does 

not require any action under Title II of 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). This rule 

has neither Federalism implications, 

because it will not have substantial 

direct effects on States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 entitled 

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999), nor Tribal implications, because 

it will not have substantial direct effects 

on one or more Indian Tribes, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian Tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian Tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175 

entitled Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000). 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 entitled Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because this is not an 

economically significant regulatory 

action as defined under Executive Order 

12866, and it does not address 

environmental health or safety risks 

disproportionately affecting children. 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 1311, 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. Because 

this action does not involve any 

technical standards, 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), does not apply to this 

action. This action does not involve 

special considerations of environmental 

justice related issues as required by 

Executive Order 12898 entitled Federal 

Actions to Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

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).

I. Background 

Since July 1991, DOE has officially 

used the term ‘‘Work for Others’’ to 

describe work performed by its national 

laboratories for non-DOE entities, 

including other Federal agencies, 

universities, and the private sector. 

Projects performed under the Work for 

Others program provide solutions to 

difficult technical challenges vital to 

maintaining strong national security and 

promoting economic competitiveness. 

To better convey the importance of 

projects that the laboratories perform for 

other entities, DOE has decided to 

change the term ‘‘Work for Others 

(WFO) to ‘‘Strategic Partnership Projects 

(SPP)’’. The national laboratories/

plants/sites and DOE programs assisted 

in determining the new name. This 

change will take place immediately and 

will be implemented throughout DOE 

and its contractor community in the 

coming months. None of these changes 

are substantive or of a nature to cause 

any significant expense for DOE or its 

contractors.

(d). 

III. Procedural Requirements 

A. Review Under Executive Order 12866 

and 13563 

This regulatory action has been 

determined not to be a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review,’’ 58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993). 

Accordingly, this final rule is not 

subject to review under that Executive 

Order by the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB). 

DOE has also reviewed this regulation 

pursuant to Executive Order 13563, 

issued on January 18, 2011 (76 FR 3281 

(Jan. 21, 2011)). Executive Order 13563 

is supplemental to and explicitly 

reaffirms the principles, structures, and 

definitions governing regulatory review 

established in Executive Order 12866. 

To the extent permitted by law, agencies 

are required by Executive Order 13563 

to: (1) Propose or adopt a regulation 

only upon a reasoned determination 

that its benefits justify its costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); (2) tailor 

regulations to impose the least burden 

on society, consistent with obtaining 

regulatory objectives, taking into 

account, among other things, and to the 

extent practicable, the costs of 

cumulative regulations; (3) select, in 

choosing among alternative regulatory 

approaches, those approaches that 

maximize net benefits (including 

potential economic, environmental, 

public health and safety, and other 

advantages; distributive impacts; and 

equity); (4) to the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than 

specifying the behavior or manner of 

compliance that regulated entities must 

adopt; and (5) identify and assess 

available alternatives to direct 

regulation, including providing 

economic incentives to encourage the 

desired behavior, such as user fees or 

marketable permits, or providing 

information upon which choices can be 

made by the public. 

DOE emphasizes as well that 

Executive Order 13563 requires agencies 

to use the best available techniques to 

quantify anticipated present and future
