Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing significant 

new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 27 

chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). The chemical substances are 

subject to Orders issued by EPA 

pursuant to section 5(e) of TSCA. This 

action would require persons who 

intend to manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) or process any 

of these 27 chemical substances for an 

activity that is designated as a 

significant new use by these rules 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 notification, and has taken such 

actions as are required with that 

determination. In addition to this notice 

of proposed rulemaking, EPA is issuing 

the action as a direct final rule 

elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 

Register.

42 CFR Part 88 

[NIOSH Docket 094] 

World Trade Center Health Program; 

Petition 019—Irritable Bowel 

Syndrome; Finding of Insufficient 

Evidence 

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, HHS. 

ACTION: Denial of petition for addition of 

a health condition. 

SUMMARY: On May 17, 2018, the 

Administrator of the World Trade 

Center (WTC) Health Program received 

a petition (Petition 019) to add irritable 

bowel syndrome (IBS) to the List of 

WTC-Related Health Conditions (List). 

Upon reviewing the scientific and 

medical literature, including 

information provided by the petitioner, 

the Administrator has determined that 

the available evidence does not have the 

potential to provide a basis for a 

decision on whether to add IBS to the 

List. The Administrator also finds that 

insufficient evidence exists to request a 

recommendation of the WTC Health 

Program Scientific/Technical Advisory 

Committee (STAC), to publish a 

proposed rule, or to publish a 

determination not to publish a proposed 

rule. 

DATES: The Administrator of the WTC 

Health Program is denying this petition 

for the addition of a health condition as 

of August 17, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Visit the WTC Health 

Program website at https://

www.cdc.gov/wtc/received.html to 

review Petition 019.
