Significant New Use Rules on a Certain 

Chemical Substance; Removal of 

Significant New Use Rules 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is removing significant 

new use rules (SNURs) promulgated 

under the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) for five chemical substances 

which were the subject of 

premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA 

published these SNURs using direct 

final rulemaking procedures. EPA 

received notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments on the rules. 

Therefore, the Agency is removing these 

SNURs, as required under the expedited 

SNUR rulemaking process. EPA intends 

to publish in the near future proposed 

SNURs for these five chemical 

substances under separate notice and 

comment procedures. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 

25, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

A list of potentially affected entities is 

provided in the Federal Register of 

April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25236) (FRL– 

9343–4). If you have questions regarding 

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. What Rule is being removed? 

In the Federal Register of April 27, 

2012 (77 FR 25236), EPA issued several 

direct final SNURs, including SNURs 

for five chemical substances that are the 

subject of this removal. These direct 

final rules were issued pursuant to the 

procedures in 40 CFR part 721 subpart 

D. In accordance with § 721.160(c)(3)(ii), 

EPA is removing these rules issued for 

five chemical substance which were the 

subject of PMNs P–01–384, P–01–385, 

P–01–386, P–01–387, and P–01–388 

because the Agency received notice of 

intent to submit adverse comments 

without sufficient time to respond prior 

to the effective date of the rule. EPA 

intends to publish proposed SNURs for 

these chemical substances under 

separate notice and comment 

procedures. 

For further information regarding 

EPA’s expedited process for issuing 

SNURs, interested parties are directed to 

40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the 

Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 

31314). The record for the direct final 

SNUR for these chemical substances 

that are being removed was established 

at EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0577. That 

record includes information considered 

by the Agency in developing this rule 

and the notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule removes existing 

regulatory requirements and does not 

contain any new or amended 

requirements. As such, the Agency has 

determined that this removal will not 

have any adverse impacts, economic or 

otherwise. The statutory and executive 

order review requirements applicable to 

the direct final rule were discussed in 

the Federal Register of April 27, 2012 

(77 FR 25236). Those review 

requirements do not apply to this action 

because it is a removal and does not 

contain any new or amended 

requirements. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
