30174 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Notices 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are a company needing 

assistance in creating structurally 

descriptive generic names for chemical 

substances whose specific chemical 

identities are claimed confidential, for 

purposes of protecting the specific 

chemical identities from disclosure and 

listing the substances on the TSCA 

Chemical Substance Inventory. This 

action may be of particular interest to 

entities that are regulated under TSCA 

(e.g., entities identified under North 

American Industrial Classification 

System (NAICS) codes 324, 325, and 

324110, among others). Since other 

entities also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities and corresponding 

NAICS codes for entities that may be 

interested in or affected by this action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. 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 as 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. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

C. How can I get copies of this 

document and other related 

information? 

The docket for this action, identified 

by docket identification (ID) number 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2018–0292, is available 

online at http://www.regulations.gov or 

in person at the Office of Pollution 

Prevention and Toxics Docket (OPPT 

Docket), Environmental Protection

3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, 

Washington, DC. The Public Reading 

Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding 

legal holidays. The telephone number 

for the Public Reading Room is (202) 

566–1744, and the telephone number for 

the OPPT Docket is (202) 566–0280. 

Please review the visitor instructions 

and additional information about the 

docket that is available at http://

find this document and the ‘‘Guidance 

for Creating Generic Names for 

Confidential Chemical Substance 

Identity Reporting under TSCA’’ at 

http://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. 

II. What is the Agency’s authority for 

this action? 

As amended by the Frank R. 

Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st 

Century Act in June 2016, TSCA section 

14(c)(4), 15 U.S.C. 2613(c)(4), requires 

that EPA develop guidance regarding 

the determination of structurally 

descriptive generic names provided for 

chemical substances whose specific 

chemical identities have been claimed 

confidential in a TSCA notice. TSCA 

section 14(c)(1)(C) was amended to 

require submitters who assert a 

confidentiality claim for specific 

chemical identity to include a 

structurally descriptive generic name for 

the chemical substance that EPA may 

disclose to the public. The generic name 

must be consistent with EPA’s guidance, 

and should describe the chemical 

structure of the substance as specifically 

as practicable while protecting those 

features of the chemical structure that 

are claimed as confidential and the 

disclosure of which would be likely to 

cause substantial harm to the 

competitive position of the claimant. 

III. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

the following guidance document: 

‘‘Guidance for Creating Generic Names 

for Confidential Chemical Substance 

Identity Reporting under TSCA.’’ This 

guidance document is intended to assist 

companies in creating structurally 

descriptive generic names for chemical 

substances whose specific chemical 

identities are claimed confidential, for 

purposes of protecting the specific 

chemical identities from disclosure 

while describing the chemical substance 

as specifically as practicable, and for 

listing substances on the TSCA 

Chemical Substance Inventory. 

EPA previously published guidance to 

assist companies in creating structurally 

descriptive generic names in an 

appendix to the 1985 publication of the 

TSCA Inventory (Appendix B, ‘‘Generic 

Names for Confidential Chemical 

Substance Identities,’’ in the ‘‘TSCA 

Inventory, 1985 Edition’’). The new 

guidance document updates and 

replaces the 1985 guidance. Consistent 

with TSCA section 14(c)(1)(C) and 

14(c)(4) requirements, the updated 

guidance document provides more 

detail and clarity to companies 

regarding the approach for creating 

structurally descriptive generic names. 

As a nonbinding guidance document, 

this updated guidance document is a 

living document which may be revised 

periodically and without notice. In 

addition to seeking comments within 

the next 60 days, EPA welcomes public 

input on this guidance document at any 

time in the future. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2613(c)(4). 

Dated: June 21, 2018.

SDARS licensees must comply with the 

Commission’s EEO broadcast rules and 

policies, including the same 

recruitment, outreach, public file, 

website posting, record-keeping, 

reporting, and self-assessment 

obligations required of broadcast 

licensees, consistent with 47 CFR 

73.2080, as well as any other 

Commission EEO policies. See 

Applications for Consent to the Transfer 

of Control of Licenses, SM Satellite 

Radio Holdings Inc., Transferor, to 

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., Transferee, 

23 FCC Rcd 12348, 12426,) 174, and 

note 551 (2008) (‘‘XM-Sirius Merger

47 CFR Section 76.73 provides that 

equal opportunity in employment shall 

be afforded by all multichannel video 

program distributors (‘‘MVPD’’) to all 

qualified persons and no person shall be 

discriminated against in employment by 

such entities because of race, color,
