43606 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 166 / Monday, August 27, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

significant as defined in Executive 

Order 12866, and because the EPA does 

not believe the environmental health or 

safety risks addressed by this proposed 

action present a disproportionate risk to 

children. This proposed action is not 

subject to E.O. 13045 because it 

implements specific standards 

established by Congress in statutes. 

However, to the extent this proposed 

rule will limit emissions of SO2, the 

proposed rule will have a beneficial 

effect on children’s health by reducing 

air pollution. 

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This proposed action is not subject to 

Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 

(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

J. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This proposed action involves 

technical standards. The EPA has 

decided to use the applicable 

monitoring requirements of 40 CFR part 

75. Part 75 already incorporates a 

number of voluntary consensus 

standards. Consistent with the Agency’s 

Performance Based Measurement 

System (PBMS), part 75 sets forth 

performance criteria that allow the use 

of alternative methods to the ones set 

forth in part 75. The PBMS approach is 

intended to be more flexible and costeffective for the regulated community; it 

is also intended to encourage innovation 

in analytical technology and improved 

data quality. At this time, EPA is not 

recommending any revisions to part 75; 

however, EPA periodically revises the 

test procedures set forth in part 75. 

When EPA revises the test procedures 

set forth in part 75 in the future, EPA 

will address the use of any new 

voluntary consensus standards that are 

equivalent. Currently, even if a test 

procedure is not set forth in part 75, 

EPA is not precluding the use of any 

method, whether it constitutes a 

voluntary consensus standard or not, as 

long as it meets the performance criteria 

specified; however, any alternative 

methods must be approved through the 

petition process under 40 CFR 75.66 

before they are used. 

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

The EPA believes that this proposed 

action does not have disproportionately 

high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority 

populations, low-income populations 

and/or indigenous peoples, as specified 

in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). We have determined 

that this proposed rule will not have 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority or low-income populations 

because it increases the level of 

environmental protection for all affected 

populations without having any 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on any population, including any 

minority or low-income population. The 

proposed rule limits emissions of SO2

from certain facilities in Texas.

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 10 

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 10 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. 

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.
