C. Sampling Criteria 

One accrediting body (EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0006) suggested that 

the EPA consider adopting the criteria 

for Field Sampling and Measurement 

Organizations (FSMOs) and the 

oversight of FSMOs from the NELAC 

Institute (TNI) Field Sampling and 

Measurement Organization Sector 

‘‘Volume 1 General Requirements for 

Field Sampling and Measurement 

Organizations’’ and ‘‘Volume 2 General 

Requirements for Accreditation Bodies 

Accrediting Field Sampling and 

Measurement Organizations’’ as a way 

to reduce uncertainty of results due to 

the quality of the samples. EPA 

accepted this suggestion by adding a 

recommended reference to NELAC 

Institute (TNI) Field Sampling and 

Measurement Organization Standards 

‘‘Volume 1: General Requirements for 

Field Sampling and Measurement 

Organizations’’. EPA did not include 

reference to ‘‘Volume 2: General 

Requirements for Accreditation Bodies 

Accrediting Field Sampling and 

Measurement Organizations’’ because 

EPA determined that volume was out of 

scope for the LQSR 4.0 due to its focus 

on accreditation bodies instead of 

laboratories. 

In reference to clearance testing on 

floors (as discussed in 40 CFR 

745.227(e)), one commenter (EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0003) recommended 

compositing of four wipe samples from 

each floor to assure that clearance 

failure, if present, is determined. The 

commenter stated that clearance should 

be performed in conformance with 

Practices E2271/E2271M and E3074/ 

E3074M with method quantitation 

limits (MQLs) determined for the 

resulting composited wipe samples. 

While HUD and EPA regulations allow 

composite sampling, HUD’s ‘‘Guidelines 

for the Evaluation and Control of LeadBased Paint Hazards in Housing’’ 

generally do not encourage composite 

sampling and most laboratories 

discourage their clients from submitting 

composite dust-wipe samples. EPA is 

not finalizing amendments to the LQSR 

4.0 which would compel risk assessors 

to take composite samples, including 

how either single surface or composite 

samples are collected, analyzed, or 

interpreted. This same commenter 

(EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023–0456–0003) 

requested EPA modify the Glossary term 

for ‘‘Composite sample’’ from ‘‘A 

sample composed as a result of 

collection of more than one sample of 

the same medium (e.g., dust) from the 

same type of surface (e.g., floor, interior 

window sill, or window trough) so that 

multiple samples can be analyzed as a 

single sample’’ to ‘‘the single sample 

resulting from the combination of 

individual samples collected from 

different sections of the same area.’’ For 

reasons previously mentioned, EPA is 

not finalizing this recommended 

change. 

This same commenter (EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0003) provided edits 

to section 5.6.1.4 Sample Custody 

Procedures of the draft LQSR 4.0, which 

would change the chain of custody 

protocols from ‘‘strongly recommended’’ 

to ‘‘must conform to ASTM D4840,’’ 

stating handling needs to be ‘‘beyond 

doubt.’’ EPA reviewed ASTM D4840 

and has adapted language from it to 

modify this section to state that chain of 

custody protocols shall ‘‘provide 

sufficient assurances, both legal and 

technical, that assertions made about a 

sample and its measurable 

characteristics can be supported to an 

acceptable level of certainty.’’ 

Lastly, two commenters (EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0003, EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0005) suggested EPA 

define ELPAT as ‘‘ELPAT: 

Environmental Lead Proficiency 

Analytical Testing (ELPAT) Program 

operated by AIHA Proficiency 

Analytical Testing Programs (AIHA 

PATP).’’ Successful participation in this 

proficiency testing program on a 

quarterly basis is required for all 

laboratories recognized by EPA in the 

NLLAP.’’ EPA accepted this suggested 

edit. 

D. Referencing Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

requires federal agencies to use 

technical standards already developed 

or adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies if compliance would 

not be inconsistent with applicable law 

or otherwise impracticable. The current 

LQSR guidance (LQSR 3.0), refers to a 

now outdated 2005 version of a 

laboratory quality standard, 

International Organization for 

Standardization and International 

Electrochemical Commission (ISO/IEC) 

Standard 17025: 2005 (E) ’’General 

requirements for the competence of 

testing and calibration laboratories’’. In 

addition, there are other laboratory 

standards in LQSR 3.0 that are already 

in practice by NLLAP participating 

laboratories and directly related to 

laboratory lead analysis, making parts of 

the elements in LQSR 3.0 duplicative. 

Therefore, EPA proposed to streamline 

the LQSR by conforming and 

referencing the updated ISO 17025: 

2017 (E) and ASTM E1583–21a. OPPT 

has reviewed the updated laboratory 

standards and identified any gaps or 

areas where additional clarification or 

criteria are needed between ISO 17025: 

2017 and ASTM E1583–21a and the 

proposed LQSR 4.0. These additional 

clarifications or criteria are included 

throughout the proposed draft. 

One commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2023–0456–0003) suggested that LQSR 

4.0 simply state the requirement that the 

laboratory be accredited as conforming 

to ISO/IEC 17025 and ASTM E1583 as 

the main prerequisite to recognition. 

The commenter notes that EPA refers to 

the standards as ‘‘ISO/IEC 

17025:2017(E)’’ and recommends 

instead ‘‘ISO/IEC 17025’’ for 

simplicity’s sake. Similarly, the 

reference to the current ASTM Standard 

may show the fact that it is an ASTM 

Standard (i.e., ASTM E1583) or, if 

previously discussed, show as the 

alpha-numeric designator of the 

Standard (i.e., E1583). EPA thanks the 

commenter for their suggestions and has 

made these edits in the final LQSR 4.0. 

This commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2023–0456–0003) also provided a 

number of editorial comments to 

alleviate confusion over which sections 

of the standards do not or may not 

apply. The commenter (EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0456–0003) recommended 

that EPA remove references to specific 

sections of ISO/IEC 17025 or ASTM 

E1583 stating that both ISO/IEC 17025 

and E1583 are normative references, and 

both require conformance, and that 

further citation to specific sections 

could falsely seem to suggest that other 

sections of the standards do not or may 

not apply. EPA accepted those edits 

throughout the final LQSR 4.0. The 

commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023– 

0456–0003) also provided a number of 

other relevant standards for EPA to 

consider for future actions. EPA 

appreciates the references and will 

consider these in future actions affecting 

NLLAP laboratories.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document provides the receipt 

and status reports for the period from 9/ 

1/2024 to 9/30/2024. 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

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 

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.

Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: 

Notice of 2025 Allowance Allocations 

for Production and Consumption of 

Regulated Substances Under the 

American Innovation and 

Manufacturing Act of 2020, and Notice 

of Final Actions Establishing 

Administrative Consequences 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) has issued calendar year 

2025 allowances for the production and 

consumption of hydrofluorocarbons in 

accordance with the Agency’s 

regulations. This issuance of allowances 

is undertaken pursuant to the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act, 

which directs the Environmental 

Protection Agency by October 1 of each 

calendar year to determine the quantity 

of production and consumption 

allowances for the following calendar 

year. In this notice, the Agency is also 

providing notice of separate Agency 

actions previously taken to establish 

administrative consequences for specific 

entities. These previously finalized 

actions withheld, retired, or revoked the 

identified entities’ newly-issued 

calendar year 2025 allowances in 

accordance with the administrative 

consequence regulatory provisions.

Andy Chang, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Stratospheric 

Protection Division, telephone number: 

202–564–6658; email address:

information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subsection (e)(2)(D)(i) of the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 

2020 (AIM Act) directs the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to determine, by October 1 of each 

calendar year, the quantity of 

allowances for the production and 

consumption of regulated substances 

that may be used for the following 

calendar year. EPA has codified the 

production and consumption baselines 

and phasedown schedules for regulated 

substances in 40 CFR 84.7. Under the 

phasedown schedule, for 2025, total 

production allowances may not exceed 

229,521,263 metric tons of exchange 

value equivalent (MTEVe) and total 

consumption allowances may not 

exceed 181,522,990 MTEVe. 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 84, 

subpart A, outline the process by which 

the Agency determines the number of 

allowances each entity is allocated. EPA 

allocated allowances consistent with the 

regulatory requirements, and has posted 

entity-specific allowance allocations on 

its website at https://www.epa.gov/ 

climate-hfcs-reduction. An allowance 

allocated under the AIM Act does not 

constitute a property right and is a 

limited authorization for the production 

or consumption of a regulated 

substance. 

Note that while allowances may be 

transferred or conferred once they are 

allocated, they can only be expended to 

cover imports and production in the 

calendar year for which they are 

allocated. In other words, calendar year 

2025 allowances may only be expended 

for production and import of bulk HFCs 

between January 1, 2025, and December 

31, 2025. 

Application-Specific Allowances 

EPA established the methodology for 

issuing application-specific allowances 

in the 2021 final rule titled Phasedown 

of Hydrofluorocarbons: Establishing the 

Allowance Allocation and Trading 

Program Under the American 

Innovation and Manufacturing Act (86 

FR 55116, Oct. 5, 2021) and codified the 

methodology for allocations in 40 CFR 

84.13. Because application-specific 

allowances can be expended to either 

produce or import HFCs, and 

application-specific allowances must be 

provided from within the overall annual 

production and consumption caps, EPA 

subtracts the amount of applicationspecific allowances allocated from both 

the production and consumption 

general allowance pools. EPA issues 

application-specific allowances to end 

users in five applications established by 

the AIM Act: propellants in metered 

dose inhalers (MDIs), defense sprays, 

structural composite preformed 

polyurethane foam for marine use and 

trailer use, etching of semiconductor 

material or wafers and the cleaning of
