Significant New Use Rule on Certain 

Chemical Substances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Under the Toxic Substances 

Control Act (TSCA), EPA is finalizing 

the significant new use rule (SNUR) for 

three chemical substances which were 

the subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs) and subject to a TSCA section 

5(e) consent order issued by EPA. This 

action requires persons who intend to 

manufacture (including import) or 

process any of these three chemical 

substances for an activity that is 

designated as a significant new use by 

this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 

days before commencing that activity. 

The required notification will provide 

EPA with the opportunity to evaluate 

the intended use and, if necessary, to 

prohibit or limit that activity before it 

occurs. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

October 11, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture, process, 

or use the chemical substances 

contained in this final rule. Potentially 

affected entities may include, but are 

not limited to: 

• Manufacturers or processors of the 

subject chemical substances (NAICS 

codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical 

manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes have been provided to 

assist you and others in determining 

whether this action might apply to 

certain entities. To determine whether 

you or your business may be affected by 

this action, you should carefully 

examine the applicability provisions in 

§ 721.5. If you have questions regarding 

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

This action may also affect certain 

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 

U.S.C. 2612) import certification 

requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 

12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR 

127.28. Chemical importers must certify 

that the shipment of the chemical 

substance complies with all applicable 

rules and orders under TSCA. Importers 

of chemicals subject to a SNUR must 

certify their compliance with the SNUR 

requirements. The EPA policy in 

support of import certification appears 

at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In 

addition, any persons who export or 

intend to export a chemical substance 

that is the subject of a proposed or final 

SNUR are subject to the export 

notification provisions of TSCA section 

12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see § 721.20), 

and must comply with the export 

notification requirements in 40 CFR part 

707, subpart D. 

II. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA is finalizing a SNUR under TSCA 

section 5(a)(2) for three chemical 

substances that were the subject of 

PMNs and subject to a TSCA section 

5(e) consent order issued by EPA. The 

SNUR is codified at 40 CFR 721.10515. 

The final SNUR designates as a 

significant new use manufacture 

(including import) or processing in the 

presence of the restrictions required in 

the consent order. The final SNUR for 

these substances is based on and 

consistent with the provisions in the 

underlying consent order. This final 

action requires persons who intend to 

manufacture or process the chemical 

substances for an activity that is 

designated as a significant new use by 

this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 

days before commencing that activity. 

This rule was proposed in the Federal 

Register issue of January 23, 2013 (78 

FR 4806) (FRL–6369–9). EPA received 

no public comments in response to the 

proposal for PMNs P–10–58, P–10–59, 

and P–10–60. Therefore, the Agency is 

issuing a final SNUR, as proposed that: 

1. Revises significant new use 

requirements for specific uses identified 

in the consent order. 

EPA did receive and comments on the 

remaining chemical substance in the 

proposed rule, PMN P–07–0204 

(§ 721.10509), and will address that in a 

future, separate action. 

B. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 

2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine 

that a use of a chemical substance is a 

‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make 

this determination by rule after 

considering all relevant factors, 

including those listed in TSCA section 

5(a)(2). Once EPA determines that a use 

of a chemical substance is a significant 

new use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) 

requires persons to submit a significant 

new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 

90 days before they manufacture or 

process the chemical substance for that 

use. Persons who must report are 

described in § 721.5. 

C. Applicability of General Provisions 

General provisions for SNURs appear 

in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These 

provisions describe persons subject to 

the rule, recordkeeping requirements, 

exemptions to reporting requirements, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 55633 

and applicability of the final rule to uses 

occurring before the effective date of the 

final rule. Provisions relating to user 

fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. 

According to § 14;721.1(c), persons 

subject to these SNURs must comply 

with the same SNUN requirements and 

EPA regulatory procedures as submitters 

of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). 

In particular, these requirements 

include the information submission 

requirements of TSCA section 5(b) and 

5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by 

TSCA sections 5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and 

(h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR 

part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, 

EPA may take regulatory action under 

TSCA section 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to control 

the activities for which it has received 

the SNUN. If EPA does not take action, 

EPA is required under TSCA section 

5(g) to explain in the Federal Register 

its reasons for not taking action. 

III. Rationale and Objectives of the 

Final Rule 

A. Rationale 

During review of the PMNs submitted 

for the three chemical substances, EPA 

concluded that regulation was 

warranted under TSCA section 5(e), 

pending the development of information 

sufficient to make reasoned evaluations 

of the health or environmental effects of 

the chemical substances. Based on these 

findings, a TSCA section 5(e) consent 

order requiring the use of appropriate 

exposure controls were negotiated with 

the PMN submitter. The SNUR 

provisions for these chemical 

substances are consistent with the 

provisions of the TSCA section 5(e) 

consent order. This SNUR is 

promulgated pursuant to § 14;721.160. 

See the docket under docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0941 for the 

corresponding consent orders. 

B. Objectives 

EPA is issuing this final SNUR for 

specific chemical substances which 

have undergone premanufacture review 

because the Agency wants to achieve 

the following objectives with regard to 

the significant new uses designated in 

this final rule: 

• EPA will receive notice of any 

person’s intent to manufacture or 

process a listed chemical substance for 

the described significant new use before 

that activity begins. 

• EPA will have an opportunity to 

review and evaluate data submitted in a 

SNUN before the notice submitter 

begins manufacturing or processing a 

listed chemical substance for the 

described significant new use. 

• EPA will be able to regulate 

prospective manufacturers or processors 

of a listed chemical substance before the 

described significant new use of that 

chemical substance occurs, provided 

that regulation is warranted pursuant to 

TSCA section 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7. 

• EPA will ensure that all 

manufacturers and processors of the 

same chemical substance that is subject 

to a TSCA section 5(e) consent order are 

subject to similar requirements. 

Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 

substance does not signify that the 

chemical substance is listed on the 

TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory 

(TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to 

determine if a chemical substance is on 

the TSCA Inventory is available on the 

Internet at http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/ 

existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/

index.html. 

IV. Significant New Use Determination 

Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA states that 

EPA’s determination that a use of a 

chemical substance is a significant new 

use must be made after consideration of 

all relevant factors, including: 

• The projected volume of 

manufacturing and processing of a 

chemical substance. 

• The extent to which a use changes 

the type or form of exposure of human 

beings or the environment to a chemical 

substance. 

• The extent to which a use increases 

the magnitude and duration of exposure 

of human beings or the environment to 

a chemical substance. 

• The reasonably anticipated manner 

and methods of manufacturing, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

and disposal of a chemical substance. 

In addition to these factors 

enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2), the 

statute authorized EPA to consider any 

other relevant factors. To determine 

what would constitute a significant new 

use for the three chemical substances 

that are the subject of this SNUR, EPA 

considered relevant information about 

the toxicity of the chemical substances, 

likely human exposures and 

environmental releases associated with 

possible uses, and the four bulleted 

TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in 

this unit. 

V. Applicability of the Significant New 

Use Designation 

If uses begun after the proposed rule 

was published were considered ongoing 

rather than new, any person could 

defeat the SNUR by initiating the 

significant new use before the final rule 

was issued. Therefore, EPA has 

designated the date of publication of the 

proposed rule as the cutoff date for 

determining whether the new use is 

ongoing. Consult the Federal Register 

document of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 

17376) (FRL–3658–5) for a more 

detailed discussion of the cutoff date for 

ongoing uses. 

Any person, who began commercial 

manufacture or processing of the 

chemical substances for any of the 

significant new uses designated in the 

proposed SNUR after the date of 

publication of the proposed SNUR, must 

stop that activity before the effective 

date of the final rule. Persons who 

ceased those activities will have to first 

comply with all applicable SNUR 

notification requirements and wait until 

the notice review period, including any 

extensions, expires, before engaging in 

any activities designated as significant 

new uses. If a person were to meet the 

conditions of advance compliance 

under § 721.45(h), the person would be 

considered to have met the 

requirements of the final SNUR for 

those activities. 

VI. Test Data and Other Information 

EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 

does not require developing any 

particular test data before submission of 

a SNUN. The two exceptions are: 

1. Development of test data is 

required where the chemical substance 

subject to the SNUR is also subject to a 

test rule under TSCA section 4 (see 

TSCA section 5(b)(1)). 

2. Development of test data may be 

necessary where the chemical substance 

has been listed under TSCA section 

5(b)(4) (see TSCA section 5(b)(2)). 

In the absence of a TSCA section 4 

test rule or a TSCA section 5(b)(4) 

listing covering the chemical substance, 

persons are required only to submit test 

data in their possession or control and 

to describe any other data known to or 

reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 

CFR 720.50). However, upon review of 

PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the 

authority to require appropriate testing. 

In the TSCA section 5(e) consent 

orders for the chemical substances 

regulated under this final rule, EPA has 

established restrictions in view of the 

lack of data on the potential health and 

environmental risks that may be posed 

by the significant new uses or increased 

exposure to the chemical substances. 

These restrictions will not be removed 

until EPA determines that the 

unrestricted use will not present an 

unreasonable risk of injury or result in 

significant or substantial exposure or 

environmental release. This 

determination is usually made based on 

the results of the required or 

recommended toxicity tests. In cases 

where EPA issued a TSCA section 5(e) 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
55634 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

consent order that requires or 

recommends certain testing, Unit IV. of 

the proposed rule lists tests required or 

recommended in each of the section 5(e) 

consent orders underlying the proposed 

section 5(e) SNURs. Descriptions of tests 

are provided for informational purposes. 

EPA strongly encourages persons, before 

performing any testing, to consult with 

the Agency pertaining to protocol 

selection. 

SNUN submitters should be aware 

that EPA will be better able to evaluate 

SNUNs which provide detailed 

information on the following: 

• Human exposure and 

environmental release that may result 

from the significant new use of the 

chemical substances. 

• Potential benefits of the chemical 

substances. 

• Information on risks posed by the 

chemical substances compared to risks 

posed by potential substitutes. 

VII. SNUN Submissions 

According to § 721.1(c), persons 

submitting a SNUN must comply with 

the same notification requirements and 

EPA regulatory procedures as persons 

submitting a PMN, including 

submission of test data on health and 

environmental effects as described in 40 

CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted 

on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated 

using e-PMN software, and submitted to 

the Agency in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 

and § 721.25. E–PMN software is 

available electronically at http://

www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems. 

VIII. Economic Analysis 

EPA has evaluated the potential costs 

of establishing SNUN requirements for 

potential manufacturers and processors 

of the chemical substances during the 

development of the direct final rule. 

EPA’s complete economic analysis is 

available in the docket under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0941. 

IX. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866 

This final rule establishes a SNUR for 

three new chemical substances that 

were the subject of PMNs and a TSCA 

section 5(e) consent order. The Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

exempted these types of actions from 

review under Executive Order 12866, 

entitled ‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review’’ (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

According to PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), an Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that requires OMB approval under PRA, 

unless it has been approved by OMB 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. EPA is amending the table in 

40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB approval 

number for the information collection 

requirements contained in this final 

rule. This listing of the OMB control 

numbers and their subsequent 

codification in the CFR satisfies the 

display requirements of PRA and OMB’s 

implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 

1320. This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) was previously subject to 

public notice and comment prior to 

OMB approval, and given the technical 

nature of the table, EPA finds that 

further notice and comment to amend it 

is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds 

that there is ‘‘good cause’’ under section 

553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to 

amend this table without further notice 

and comment. 

The information collection 

requirements related to this action have 

already been approved by OMB 

pursuant to PRA under OMB control 

number 2070–0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). 

This action does not impose any burden 

requiring additional OMB approval. If 

an entity were to submit a SNUN to the 

Agency, the annual burden is estimated 

to average between 30 and 170 hours 

per response. This burden estimate 

includes the time needed to review 

instructions, search existing data 

sources, gather and maintain the data 

needed, and complete, review, and 

submit the required SNUN. 

Send any comments about the 

accuracy of the burden estimate, and 

any suggested methods for minimizing 

respondent burden, including through 

the use of automated collection 

techniques, to the Director, Collection 

Strategies Division, Office of 

Environmental Information (2822T), 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460–0001. Please remember to 

include the OMB control number in any 

correspondence, but do not submit any 

completed forms to this address. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

On February 18, 2012, EPA certified 

pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.), that promulgation of a 

SNUR does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities where the 

following are true: 

1. A significant number of SNUNs 

would not be submitted by small 

entities in response to the SNUR. 

2. The SNUR submitted by any small 

entity would not cost significantly more 

than $8,300. 

A copy of that certification is 

available in the docket for this final 

rule. 

This final rule is within the scope of 

the February 18, 2012 certification. 

Based on the Economic Analysis 

discussed in Unit VIII. and EPA’s 

experience promulgating SNURs 

(discussed in the certification), EPA 

believes that the following are true: 

• A significant number of SNUNs 

would not be submitted by small 

entities in response to the SNUR. 

• Submission of the SNUN would not 

cost any small entity significantly more 

than $8,300. Therefore, the 

promulgation of the SNUR would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

Based on EPA’s experience with 

proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, 

local, and Tribal governments have not 

been impacted by these rulemakings, 

and EPA does not have any reasons to 

believe that any State, local, or Tribal 

government will be impacted by this 

final rule. As such, EPA has determined 

that this final rule does not impose any 

enforceable duty, contain any unfunded 

mandate, or otherwise have any effect 

on small governments subject to the 

requirements of UMRA sections 202, 

203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). 

E. Executive Order 13132 

This action will not have a substantial 

direct effect on States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999). 

F. Executive Order 13175 

This final rule does not have Tribal 

implications because it is not expected 

to have substantial direct effects on 

Indian Tribes. This final rule does not 

significantly nor uniquely affect the 

communities of Indian Tribal 

governments, nor does it involve or 

impose any requirements that affect 

Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 55635 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply 

to this final rule. 

G. Executive Order 13045 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because this is not an 

economically significant regulatory 

action as defined by Executive Order 

12866, and this action does not address 

environmental health or safety risks 

disproportionately affecting children. 

H. Executive Order 13211 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, entitled ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001), because this action is not 

expected to affect energy supply, 

distribution, or use and because this 

action is not a significant regulatory 

action under Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

In addition, since this action does not 

involve any technical standards, 

NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 

note), does not apply to this action. 

J. Executive Order 12898 

This action does not entail special 

considerations of environmental justice 

related issues as delineated by 

Executive Order 12898, entitled 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 

1994). 

X. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will 

submit a report containing this final 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 action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2012–0590; FRL–9395–4] 

Prometryn; Pesticide Tolerances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes 

tolerances for residues of prometryn in 

or on succulent snap bean, dill oil, fresh 

dillweed leaves, and dried dillweed 

leaves. This regulation additionally 

removes the established tolerance with 

regional restrictions on dill, since it is 

superseded by the tolerance on fresh 

dillweed leaves. Interregional Research 

Project Number 4 (IR–4) requested these 

tolerances under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 11, 2013. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 12, 2013, and
