page of any filing should include the 

docket number P–5737–031. Comments 

emailed to Commission staff are not part 

of the Commission record. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

l. Description of Request: Pursuant to 

a Commission dam safety directive and 

its approved Reservoir Drawdown and 

Operations Plan (Plan), the applicant 

has been operating Anderson Reservoir 

at its deadpool elevation, historically 

identified as a water surface elevation of 

488 feet North American Vertical Datum 

of 1988 (NAVD88). In its current filings, 

the applicant states newer surveys 

indicate the deadpool water surface 

elevation is 490 feet NAVD88 and it 

wishes to revise the Plan to reflect the 

correct number. The applicant also 

proposes to operate the reservoir at an 

elevation 2 feet above deadpool, i.e., 492 

feet NAVD88, to have stored water 

available for prompt releases to protect 

downstream aquatic habitat in Coyote 

Creek when other water sources are 

unavailable. Furthermore, when 

drawing down the reservoir back to 492 

feet NAVD88 after large rainstorms that 

cause it to rise, the applicant proposes 

to ramp down releases by approximately 

25 to 50 percent every 12 hours as the 

reservoir surface declines from 

elevations 493.5 to 492 feet NAVD88 

while consulting with the National 

Marine Fisheries Service to determine 

the precise downramping schedule. 

m. Locations of the revised Plan: This 

filing may be viewed on the 

Commission’s website at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document provides the receipt 

and status reports for the period from 

11/01/2023 to 11/30/2023. The Agency 

is providing notice of receipt of PMNs, 

SNUNs, and MCANs (including 

amended notices and test information); 

an exemption application under 40 CFR 

part 725 (Biotech exemption); TMEs, 

both pending and/or concluded; NOCs 

to manufacture a new chemical 

substance; and a periodic status report 

on new chemical substances that are 

currently under EPA review or have 

recently concluded review. 

EPA is also providing information on 

its website about cases reviewed under 

the amended TSCA, including the 

section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and 

exemption notices received, the date of 

receipt, the final EPA determination on 

the notice, and the effective date of 

EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ 

MCAN notices on its website at: https:// 

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ 

status-pre-manufacture-notices. This 

information is updated on a weekly 

basis. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Under the Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a 

chemical substance may be either an 

‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a 

‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any 

chemical substance that is not on EPA’s 

TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances 

(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new 

chemical substance,’’ while a chemical 

substance that is listed on the TSCA 

Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing 

chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section 

3(11).) For more information about the 

TSCA Inventory please go to: https://

www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. 

Any person who intends to 

manufacture (including import) a new 

chemical substance for a non-exempt 

commercial purpose, or to manufacture 

or process a chemical substance in a 

non-exempt manner for a use that EPA 

has determined is a significant new use, 

is required by TSCA section 5 to 

provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or 

SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating 

the activity. EPA will review the notice, 

make a risk determination on the 

chemical substance or significant new 

use, and take appropriate action as 

described in TSCA section 5(a)(3). 

TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA 

to allow persons, upon application and 

under appropriate restrictions, to 

manufacture or process a new chemical 

substance, or a chemical substance 

subject to a significant new use rule 

(SNUR) issued under TSCA section 

5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, 

upon a showing that the manufacture, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

use, and disposal of the chemical will 

not present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment. 

This is referred to as a test marketing 

exemption, or TME. For more 

information about the requirements 

applicable to a new chemical go to: 

https://www.epa.gov/chemicals-undertsca. 

Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and 

EPA regulations, EPA is required to 

publish in the Federal Register certain 

information, including notice of receipt 

of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including 

amended notices and test information); 

an exemption application under 40 CFR 

part 725 (biotech exemption); an 

application for a TME, both pending 

and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a 

new chemical substance; and a periodic 

status report on the new chemical 

substances that are currently under EPA 

review or have recently concluded 

review. 

C. Does this action apply to me? 

This action provides information that 

is directed to the public in general. 

D. Does this action have any 

incremental economic impacts or 

paperwork burdens? 

No. 

E. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting confidential business 

information (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 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

II. Status Reports 

In the past, EPA has published 

individual notices reflecting the status 

of TSCA section 5 filings received, 

pending, or concluded. In 1995, the 

Agency modified its approach and 

streamlined the information published 

in the Federal Register after providing 

notice of such changes to the public and 

an opportunity to comment (see the 

Federal Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 

25798) (FRL–4942–7)). Since the 

passage of the Lautenberg amendments 

to TSCA in 2016, public interest in 

information on the status of section 5 

cases under EPA review and, in 

particular, the final determination of 

such cases, has increased. In an effort to 

be responsive to the regulated 

community, the users of this 

information, and the general public, to 

comply with the requirements of TSCA, 

to conserve EPA resources and to 

streamline the process and make it more 

timely, EPA is providing information on 

its website about cases reviewed under 

the amended TSCA, including the 

section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and 

exemption notices received, the date of 

receipt, the final EPA determination on 

the notice, and the effective date of 

EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ 

MCAN notices on its website at: https:// 

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ 

status-pre-manufacture-notices. This 

information is updated on a weekly 

basis. 

III. Receipt Reports 

For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that 

have passed an initial screening by EPA 

during this period, Table I provides the 

following information (to the extent that 

such information is not subject to a CBI 

claim) on the notices screened by EPA 

during this period: The EPA case 

number assigned to the notice that 

indicates whether the submission is an 

initial submission, or an amendment, a 

notation of which version was received, 

the date the notice was received by EPA, 

the submitting manufacturer (i.e., 

domestic producer or importer), the 

potential uses identified by the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
88608 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2023 / Notices 

manufacturer in the notice, and the 

chemical substance identity. 

As used in each of the tables in this 

unit, (S) indicates that the information 

in the table is the specific information 

provided by the submitter, and (G) 

indicates that this information in the 

table is generic information because the 

specific information provided by the 

submitter was claimed as CBI. 

Submissions which are initial 

submissions will not have a letter 

following the case number. Submissions 

which are amendments to previous 

submissions will have a case number 

followed by the letter ‘‘A’’ (e.g., P–18– 

1234A). The version column designates 

submissions in sequence as ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, 

‘‘3’’, etc. Note that in some cases, an 

initial submission is not numbered as 

version 1; this is because earlier 

version(s) were rejected as incomplete 

or invalid submissions. Note also that 

future versions of the following tables 

may adjust slightly as the Agency works 

to automate population of the data in 

the tables.
