**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


### 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.

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
