 ACTION: Direct final rule.
 SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 145 chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). The chemical substances are subject to consent orders issued by EPA pursuant to section 5(e) of TSCA. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these 145 chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the intended use within the applicable review period. Persons may not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required with that determination.
 DATES: This rule is effective on October 1, 2018. For purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on August 15, 2018. Written adverse comments on one or more of these SNURs must be received on or before August 31, 2018 (see Unit VI. of the 
                            **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**
                            ). If EPA receives written adverse comments on one or more of these SNURs before August 31, 2018, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of this direct final rule before its effective date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me? You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture, process, or use the chemical substances contained in this rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110),*e.g.,*
                         chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 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 these SNURs must certify their compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is the subject of this rule on or after August 31, 2018 are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see § 721.20), and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1.

                        *http://www.epa.gov/​dockets/​comments.html.* II. Background A. What action is the Agency taking? 1. 
                        *Direct Final Rule.*
                         EPA is promulgating these SNURs using direct final procedures. These SNURs will require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical substance for any activity designated by these SNURs as a significant new use. Receipt of such notices obligates EPA to assess risks that may be associated with the significant new uses under the conditions of use and, if appropriate, to regulate the proposed uses before they occur. 2. 
                        *Proposed Rule.*
                         In addition to this Direct Final Rule, elsewhere in this issue of the 
                        **Federal Register**
                        , EPA is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for this rule. If EPA receives no adverse comment, the Agency will not take further action on the proposed rule and the direct final rule will become effective as provided in this action. If EPA receives adverse comment on one or more of SNURs in this action by August 31, 2018 (see Unit VI. of the 
                        **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**
                        ), the 
                        ( print page 37703)
                        Agency will publish in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         a timely withdrawal of the specific SNURs that the adverse comments pertain to, informing the public that the actions will not take effect. EPA would then address all adverse public comments in a response to comments document in a subsequent final rule, based on the proposed rule. B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action? Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine that a use of a chemical substance is a “significant new use.” EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all relevant factors, including the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. Once EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a significant new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture or process the chemical substance for that use (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(i)). TSCA furthermore prohibits such manufacturing or processing from commencing until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and taken such actions as are required in association with that determination (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(ii)). As described in Unit V., the general SNUR provisions are found at 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. C. Applicability of General Provisions General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These provisions describe persons subject to the rule, recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. According to §  721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the same SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In particular, these requirements include the information submission requirements of TSCA section 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA section 5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury or take such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination before the manufacture or processing for the significant new use can commence. If EPA determines that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and submit for publication in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                        , a statement of EPA's findings. III. Significant New Use Determination Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA states that EPA's determination that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after consideration of all relevant factors, including: The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a chemical substance.
                    The extent to which a use changes the type or form of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
                    The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
                    The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a chemical substance. In addition to these factors enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2), the statute authorizes EPA to consider any other relevant factors. To determine what would constitute a significant new use for the chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, likely human exposures and environmental releases associated with possible uses, and the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit. IV. Substances Subject to This Rule EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping requirements for 145 chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In this unit, EPA provides the following information for each chemical substance: PMN number.
                    Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is claimed as CBI).
                    Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
                    Basis for the TSCA section 5(e) consent order.
                    Information identified by EPA that would help characterize the potential health and/or environmental effects of the chemical substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use designated by the SNUR. This information may include testing required in a TSCA section 5(e) Order to be conducted by the PMN submitter, as well as testing not required to be conducted but which would also help characterize the potential health and/or environmental effects of the PMN substance. Any recommendation for information identified by EPA was made based on EPA's consideration of available screening-level data, if any, as well as other available information on appropriate testing for the chemical substance. Further, any such testing identified by EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was made after consideration of available toxicity information, computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high-throughput screening methods and their prediction models. EPA also recognizes that whether testing/further information is needed will depend on the specific exposure and use scenario in the SNUN. EPA encourages all SNUN submitters to contact EPA to discuss any potential future testing. See Unit VIII. for more information.
                    CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of this rule. The regulatory text section of each rule specifies the activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including exceedance of production volume limits (*i.e.,*
                         limits on manufacture volume) and other uses designated in this rule, may be claimed as CBI. Unit IX. discusses a procedure companies may use to ascertain whether a proposed use constitutes a significant new use. These rules include 145 PMN substances that are subject to Orders under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) where EPA determined that activities associated with the PMN substances may present unreasonable risk to human health or the environment. Those Orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The SNURs identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). Where EPA determined that the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health via inhalation exposure, the underlying TSCA section 5(e) Order usually requires, among other things, that potentially exposed employees wear specified respirators unless actual measurements of the workplace air show that air-borne concentrations of the PMN substance are below a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) that is established by EPA to provide adequate protection to human health. In addition 
                        ( print page 37704)
                        to the actual NCEL concentration, the comprehensive NCELs provisions in TSCA section 5(e) Orders, which are modeled after Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) provisions, include requirements addressing performance criteria for sampling and analytical methods, periodic monitoring, respiratory protection, and recordkeeping. However, no comparable NCEL provisions currently exist in 40 CFR part 721, subpart B, for SNURs. Therefore, for these cases, the individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, will state that persons subject to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs as an alternative to the § 721.63 respirator requirements may request to do so under § 721.30. EPA expects that persons whose § 721.30 requests to use the NCELs approach for SNURs that are approved by EPA will be required to comply with NCELs provisions that are comparable to those contained in the corresponding TSCA section 5(e) Order for the same chemical substance. PMN Numbers: P-14-472 and P-14-496 *Chemical names:*
                         Polyphosphoric acids, 2-[alkyl-1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)oxy]ethyl esters, compds. with N-(aminoiminomethyl)urea (generic) (P-14-472) and Polyphosphoric acids, 2-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)oxy]ethyl esters, compds. with alkyl amino, polymers with Bu acrylate, N-(hydroxymethyl)propenamide and styrene (generic) (P-14-496). *CAS numbers:*
                         Not available. *Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         April 26, 2017. *Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         The PMN states that the generic (non-confidential) uses of the PMN substances are as a site-controlled intermediate (P-14-472) and a paper additive (P-14-496). Based on Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis of test data on acrylates/methacrylates, and other structurally similar substances, there is potential for irritation and sensitization for P-14-472. For P-14-496 there is concern for sensitization based on the presence of formaldehyde and concern for irritation and lung effects from the surfactant properties of the substance. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous phosphates, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 3 parts per billion (ppb) of P-14-472 and 4 ppb of P-14-496 in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(i), based on a finding that the available information is insufficient to permit a reasoned evaluation of the human health effects of the PMN substances. Further, the Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of certain toxicity testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment to prevent dermal exposure. 3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). 4. No release of the PMN substances resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 3 ppb for P-14-472 and 4 ppb for P-14-496. 5. No modification of the manufacturing process that results in inhalation exposure and no use involving application methods that generate a dust, mist, or aerosol. 6. Use of the PMN substances only as a site-limited intermediate (P-14-472) and the confidential use specified in the Order (P-14-496). The SNUR would designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*
                         EPA has determined that certain information about the fate and human health toxicity of the PMN substances may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substances in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing a skin sensitization study and a biodegradation test on each substance. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a pulmonary effects testing of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substances. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order's restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request. *CFR citations:*40 CFR 721.11024 (P-14-472) and 40 CFR 721.11025 (P-14-496). PMN Number: P-14-630 *Chemical name:*
                         Bismuth bromide iodide oxide. *CAS number:*

                         The PMN states that the substance will be used as a pigment for liquid coatings solvent based system; a pigment for powder coatings; and a pigment for polymer materials. Based on test data and physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified concerns for lung effects, including fibrosis. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of certain toxicity testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the confidential production volume limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified respirator with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of at least 10 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposures) or compliance with a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL) of 2.4 milligram/meter3
                         (mg/m3
                        ) as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 4. No use of the substance in a consumer product that generates a dust, mist, or aerosol. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures, and any use to vary or alter, the manufacturing, processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN in such a way as to change the magnitude of inhalation exposure.

                         EPA has determined that certain information about the human health toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of a chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity test of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order's restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request. *CFR citation:*40 CFR 721.11026.

                         The PMN states that the substance will be used as a mixed metal oxide for batteries. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA identified concerns for spleen and kidney toxicity. Based on physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance, as well as SAR analysis of analogous respirable, poorly soluble particulates, EPA identified concerns for lung effects based on lung overload. Based on the crystalline structure of the PMN substance, EPA identified concern for lung carcinogenicity. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of certain toxicity testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the time limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves and protective clothing (where there is a potential for dermal exposures). 3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 1,000 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.000092 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 4. Use of the chemical transfer processes and air ventilation processes described in the PMN and the exposure monitoring requirements described in the Order. 5. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 6. Disposal of the PMN substance by landfill only. Air releases are limited by processes described in the PMN, including filtering through a high-efficiency particulate air filter with an efficiency rate of 99.99%. 7. No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*
                         EPA has determined that certain information about the human health toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the time limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing and carcinogenicity testing. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of medical monitoring of the workers exposed to the substance during manufacturing, processing, and use may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this medical monitoring, the Order's restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request. *CFR citation:*40 CFR 721.11027.

Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 4. Manufacture of the substance with a particulate size greater than 30 microns. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*
                         EPA has determined that certain information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to manufacture beyond a certain time limit without performing an acute aquatic toxicity test. In addition, EPA has determined that the results of specific target organ toxicity testing of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in characterizing the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this additional testing, the Order's restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal will remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other information that EPA determines is relevant and needed to evaluate a modification request. *CFR citation:*40 CFR 721.11043.

                         The PMN states the generic (non-confidential) use of the substance will be as a filler. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for systemic and reproductive toxicity. Based on structural analysis on the acid groups and test data, EPA has identified concerns for dermal and respiratory irritation. Further, based on test data on the PMN substance and test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 14 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the 
                        ( print page 37710)
                        substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. EPA assessed risks based on the specific processing, use, distribution/transportation, treatment and disposal processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 2. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 10 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure). (EPA's estimates indicate that variations of the parameters (including batch size, number of processing sites, days per year of operation) of the uses identified below would not result in inhalation exposure that would indicate a different respirator.) 3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 4. No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance. 5. Import of the PMN substance at or below the maximum concentration specified in the Order. 6. No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 14 ppb. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures, and use of the chemical substance to vary or alter the processing, use, distribution, engineering controls, and handling practices described in the Order in such a way as to change the magnitude of inhalation exposure. *Potentially useful information:*

                         The PMN states that the generic use (non-confidential) of the substance will be as a lubricant additive. Based on test data on the substance, EPA has identified concerns for systemic effects, sensitization and irritation to the eyes and skin. Based on physical/chemical properties, EPA has concerns for lung effects, including lung surfactancy. Further, based on test data on analogous aliphatic amines for the cation and neutral organics for the anion as well as test data on the PMN substance, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 200 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1.

 *Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         March 22, 2017. *Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         The PMNs state that the generic (non-confidential) use of the substances are for monitoring of oil/gas well performance. Based on test data on an analog, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive, developmental and neuro-toxicity, as well as lung toxicity and dermal irritation. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMN. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of certain toxicity testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the production volume limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 50 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.0184 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 4. Use of processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices specified in the Order for manufacturing and processing. 5. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 6. No manufacture or process of the PMN substances beyond a confidential annual production volume specified in the Order. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*
                         EPA has determined that certain information about the human health toxicity of the PMN substances may be potentially useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substances in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the confidential production limit without performing specific target organ toxicity testing on P-17-0091. *CFR citations:*40 CFR 721.11053.

 *Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         March 22, 2017. *Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order:*
                         The PMNs state that the substances are for monitoring oil/gas well performance. Based on test data on an analog, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive, developmental and neuro-toxicity, as well as lung toxicity and dermal irritation. Further, based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous neutral organics, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 15 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. EPA assessed risks based on the specific manufacturing, processing, use, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices (including worker activities and cleaning procedures) described in the PMNs. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of certain toxicity testing on the PMN substances prior to exceeding the production volume limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 3. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 1,000 (where there is a potential for inhalation exposure) or compliance with a NCEL of 0.0184 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average. 4. Use of processes, process equipment, engineering controls, and handling practices specified in the Order for manufacturing and processing. 5. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 6. No manufacture or process of the PMN substances beyond a confidential annual production volume specified in the Order. 7. No release of the PMN substances resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 15 ppb. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*

                         The PMN states the generic (non-confidential) use of the substance will be as a catalyst in a closed process. Based on physical/chemical properties of the substance and test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for dermal and respiratory irritation, corrosion, developmental toxicity, and lung effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Submission of glove permeation testing on the PMN substance prior to exceeding the production volume limit as specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment including impervious gloves (where there is a potential for dermal exposure). 3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 4. No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance. 5. No use in any manner or method where there is potential for inhalation exposure.

                         The PMNs state that the generic (non-confidential) use of the substances will be as a component in asphalt emulsion. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances, EPA has identified concerns for dermal and respiratory irritation, corrosion, developmental toxicity, systemic effect, sensitization and lung effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on insufficient information to make a reasoned evaluation and a finding that the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: 1. Use of the PMN substances only for the use specified in the Order. 2. Use of personal protective equipment for workers exposed dermally to the PMN substances (including impervious gloves, chemical goggles or equivalent eye protection and clothing which covers any other exposed areas of the arms and torso). 3. No modification of the manufacture, process or use of the PMN substances if it results in inhalation exposure to vapor, dust, mist or aerosol. 4. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. 5. No release of the PMN substances into the waters of the United States. The SNUR will designate as a “significant new use” the absence of these protective measures. *Potentially useful information:*

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule A. Rationale During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances that are subject to these SNURs, EPA concluded that for all 145 chemical substances regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the chemical substances. The basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based on these findings, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use of appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. The SNURs identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
                        ( print page 37717) B. Objectives EPA is issuing these SNURs for specific chemical substances which have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants to achieve the following objectives with regard to the significant new uses designated in this rule: EPA will receive notice of any person's intent to manufacture or process a listed chemical substance for the described significant new use before that activity begins.
                    EPA will have an opportunity to review and evaluate data submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant new use.
                    EPA will be able to either determine that the prospective manufacture or processing is not likely to present an unreasonable risk, or to take necessary regulatory action associated with any other determination, before the described significant new use of the chemical substance occurs.
                    EPA will identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at 
                        *http://www.epa.gov/​opptintr/​existingchemicals/​pubs/​tscainventory/​index.html.* VI. Direct Final Procedures EPA is issuing these SNURs as a direct final rule. The effective date of this rule is October 1, 2018 without further notice, unless EPA receives written adverse comments before August 31, 2018. If EPA receives written adverse comments on one or more of these SNURs before August 31, 2018, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of this direct final rule before its effective date. This rule establishes SNURs for a number of chemical substances. Any person who submits adverse comments must identify the chemical substance and the new use to which it applies. EPA will not withdraw a SNUR for a chemical substance not identified in the comment. VII. Applicability of the Significant New Use Designation To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not received a notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has not been added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such activities without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical substances for which an NOC has not been submitted EPA concludes that the designated significant new uses are not ongoing. When chemical substances identified in this rule are added to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified as a significant new use. However, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders have been issued for all of the chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders from undertaking activities which will be designated as significant new uses. The identities of 38 of the 145 chemical substances subject to this rule have been claimed as confidential and EPA has received one post-PMN 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission (per §§ 720.25 and 721.11) for a chemical substance covered by this action. Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in the regulatory text of this rule are ongoing. Therefore, EPA designates August 1, 2018 (the date of public release of this rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA's approach has been to ensure that a person could not defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use before the effective date of the direct final rule. In developing this rule, EPA has recognized that, given EPA's practice of on occasion posting rules on its website a week or more in advance of 
                        **Federal Register**
                         publication, this objective could be thwarted even before that publication. Persons who begin commercial manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use identified as of that date will have to cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons will have to first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required with that determination. VIII. Development and Submission of Information EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require developing any particular new information (
                        *e.g.,*
                         generating test data) before submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: Development of test data is required where the chemical substance subject to the SNUR is also subject to a rule, order or consent agreement under TSCA section 4 (see TSCA section 5(b)(1)). In the absence of a TSCA section 4 test rule covering the chemical substance, persons are required only to submit information in their possession or control and to describe any other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists potentially useful information for all of the listed SNURs. Descriptions of this information is provided for informational purposes. EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation with the Agency on the use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h). To access the OCSPP test guidelines referenced in this document electronically, please go to 
                        *http://www.epa.gov/​ocspp*
                         and select “Test Methods and Guidelines.” The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guidelines are available from the OECD Bookshop at 
                        *http://www.oecdbookshop.org*
                         or SourceOECD at 
                        *http://www.sourceoecd.org.* In certain of the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders for the chemical substances regulated under this rule, EPA has established production volume limits in view of the lack of data on the potential health and environmental risks that may be posed by the significant new uses or increased exposure to the chemical substances. These limits cannot be exceeded unless the PMN submitter first submits the results of specified tests that would permit a reasoned evaluation of the 
                        ( print page 37718)
                        potential risks posed by these chemical substances. Under recent TSCA section 5(e) consent orders, each PMN submitter is required to submit each study at least 14 weeks (earlier TSCA section 5(e) consent orders required submissions at least 12 weeks) before reaching the specified production limit. The SNURs contain the same production volume limits as the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. Exceeding these production limits is defined as a significant new use. Persons who intend to exceed the production limit must notify the Agency by submitting a SNUN at least 90 days in advance of commencement of non-exempt commercial manufacture or processing. Any request by EPA for the triggered and pended testing described in the Consent Orders was made based on EPA's consideration of available screening-level data, if any, as well as other available information on appropriate testing for the PMN substances. Further, any such testing request on the part of EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was made after consideration of available toxicity information, computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high-throughput screening methods and their prediction models. The potentially useful information identified in Unit IV. may not be the only means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical substance. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data or other information may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA section 5(e), particularly if satisfactory test results have not been obtained from a prior PMN or SNUN submitter. EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be able to generate useful information. SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following: Human exposure and environmental release that may result from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
                    Information on risks posed by the chemical substances compared to risks posed by potential substitutes. IX. Procedural Determinations By this rule, EPA is establishing certain significant new uses which have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. Absent a final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is required to keep this information confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, at § 721.1725(b)(1). Under these procedures a manufacturer or processor may request EPA to determine whether a proposed use would be a significant new use under the rule. The manufacturer or processor must show that it has a 
                        *bona fide*
                         intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance and must identify the specific use for which it intends to manufacture or process the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that the person has shown a 
                        *bona fide*
                         intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission would be a significant new use under the rule. Since most of the chemical identities of the chemical substances subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can combine the 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission under the procedure in §  721.1725(b)(1) with that under §  721.11 into a single step. If EPA determines that the use identified in the 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission would not be a significant new use, 
                        *i.e.,*
                         the use does not meet the criteria specified in the rule for a significant new use, that person can manufacture or process the chemical substance so long as the significant new use trigger is not met. In the case of a production volume trigger, this means that the aggregate annual production volume does not exceed that identified in the 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission to EPA. Because of confidentiality concerns, EPA does not typically disclose the actual production volume that constitutes the use trigger. Thus, if the person later intends to exceed that volume, a new 
                        *bona fide*
                         submission would be necessary to determine whether that higher volume would be a significant new use. X. SNUN Submissions According to §  721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, generated using e-PMN software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 and § 721.25. E-PMN software is available electronically at 
                        *http://www.epa.gov/​opptintr/​newchems.* XI. Economic Analysis EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical substances subject to this rule. EPA's complete economic analysis is available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0366. XII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. Executive Order 12866 This action establishes SNURs for several new chemical substances that were the subject of PMNs and TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled 
                        *“*
                        Regulatory Planning and Review” (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) According to PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 
                        *et seq.*), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                        , are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB approval number for the information collection requirements contained in this action. This listing of the OMB control numbers and their subsequent codification in the CFR satisfies the display requirements of PRA and OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. This Information Collection Request (ICR) was previously subject to public notice and comment prior to OMB approval, and given the technical nature of the table, EPA finds that further notice and comment to amend it is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that there is “good cause” under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table without further notice and comment. The information collection requirements related to this action have already been approved by OMB pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This action does not impose any burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average between 30 and 170 hours per response. This burden estimate 
                        ( print page 37719)
                        includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit the required SNUN. Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, Office of Environmental Information (2822T), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. Please remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but do not submit any completed forms to this address. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) On February 18, 2012, EPA certified pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 601 
                        *et seq.*), that promulgation of a SNUR does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities where the following are true: 1. A significant number of SNUNs would not be submitted by small entities in response to the SNUR. 2. The SNUR submitted by any small entity would not cost significantly more than $8,300. A copy of that certification is available in the docket for this action. This action is within the scope of the February 18, 2012 certification. Based on the Economic Analysis discussed in Unit XI. and EPA's experience promulgating SNURs (discussed in the certification), EPA believes that the following are true: A significant number of SNUNs would not be submitted by small entities in response to the SNUR.
                    Submission of the SNUN would not cost any small entity significantly more than $8,300. Therefore, the promulgation of the SNUR would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this action. As such, EPA has determined that this action does not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 
                        *et seq.*). E. Executive Order 13132 This action will not have a substantial direct effect 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). F. Executive Order 13175 This action does not have Tribal implications because it is not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This action does not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of Indian Tribal governments, nor does it involve or impose any requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13175, entitled “Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments” (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045 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 by Executive Order 12866, and this action does not address environmental health or safety risks disproportionately affecting children. H. Executive Order 13211 This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, 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 and because this action is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) In addition, since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to this action. J. Executive Order 12898 This action does not entail special considerations of environmental justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations” (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). XIII. Congressional Review Act 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). List of Subjects 40 CFR Part 9 Environmental protection
