increased, no customer must pay the new price until the end of the current service period, and no retroactive adjustment will be made for a payment received before the date of the change. The fee charged is that in effect on the date of payment.

4.5.4 Payment

[Revise the introductory text of 4.5.4 as follows:]

All fees for Post Office Box service are for 6- or 12-month prepaid periods, except as noted under 4.5.6, 4.5.7, and 4.5.10. The general rule is that a fee may be paid up to one year in advance; however, when boxes from two or more ZIP Codes are being merged into one location, a customer has the option, prior to the merger, to renew at the current fee for another rental period, even when this results in a fee being paid more than one year in advance. Customers may pay the fee using any of the following methods:

* * * * *

4.5.5 Payment Period

[Revise 4.5.5 as follows:] Except under 4.5.7, the beginning date for a Post Office Box fee payment period is determined by the approval date of the application. The period begins on the first day of the same month if the application is approved on or before the 15th of the month, or the next month if approved after the 15th of the month. Fees for service renewal may be paid any time during the last 30 days of the service period, except under 4.5.4, but no later than the last day of the service period.

* * * * *

4.5.8 Change of Payment Period

[Revise 4.5.8 as follows:] Except for customers at Post Offices subject to 4.5.7, a Post Office Box customer of record may change the payment period by submitting a new application noting the month to be used as the start of the revised payment period. The date selected must be before the end of the current payment period. The unused fee for the period being discontinued may be refunded under 4.7, and the fee for the new payment period must be fully paid in advance. Except when boxes from two or more ZIP Codes are being merged into one location, a change of payment period
date must not be used to circumvent a change in box fees.

* * * * *

4.6 Fee Group Assignments

4.6.1 Regular Fee Groups

[Revise 4.6.1 as follows:] For Post Office Box fee groups, see
Notice 123—Price List. Post Office Boxes are assigned to fee groups and classified as competitive or market dominant based upon the Post Office location. Local Post Offices can provide information about fees for a particular
ZIP Code.

**PART 711—TSCA CHEMICAL DATA**
**REPORTING REQUIREMENTS**

Sec. 711.1 Scope and compliance.

711.3 Definitions.

711.5 Chemical substances for which information must be reported.

711.6 Chemical substances for which information is not required. 711.8 Persons who must report. 711.9 Persons not subject to this part. 711.10 Activities for which reporting is not required. 711.15 Reporting information to EPA. 711.20 When to report. 711.22 Duplicative reporting. 711.25 Recordkeeping requirements. 711.30 Confidentiality claims. 711.35 Electronic filing.

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2607(a).

**§ 711.1 Scope and compliance.**

(a) This part specifies reporting and recordkeeping procedures under section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)) for certain manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances. Section 8(a) of
TSCA authorizes the EPA Administrator to require reporting of information necessary for administration of TSCA, including issuing regulations for the purpose of compiling and keeping
current the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory) as required by TSCA section 8(b). In accordance with TSCA section 8(b), EPA amends the TSCA Inventory to include new
chemical substances manufactured (including imported) in the United States and reported under TSCA section 5(a)(1). EPA also revises the categories
of chemical substances and makes other amendments as appropriate.

(b) This part applies to the activities associated with the periodic update of
information on a subset of the chemical
substances included on the TSCA Inventory.

(c) Section 15(3) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to fail or refuse to submit information required under this part. In addition, TSCA section 15(3) makes it unlawful for any person to fail to keep, and permit access to, records required by this part. Section 16 of TSCA provides that any person who violates a provision of TSCA section 15
is liable to the United States for a civil penalty and may be criminally prosecuted. Pursuant to TSCA section 17, the Federal Government may seek judicial relief to compel submission of TSCA section 8(a) information and to otherwise restrain any violation of TSCA section 15. (EPA does not intend
to concentrate its enforcement efforts on insignificant clerical errors in reporting.)

(d) Each person who reports under this part must maintain records that document information reported under this part and, in accordance with TSCA, permit access to, and the copying of, such records by EPA officials.

**§ 711.3 Definitions.**

The definitions in this section and the definitions in TSCA section 3 apply to this part. In addition, the definitions in 40 CFR 704.3 also apply to this part, except the definitions manufacture and manufacturer in 40 CFR 704.3.

CDX or Central Data Exchange means EPA’s centralized electronic document receiving system, or its successors. Commercial use means the use of a
chemical substance or a mixture containing a chemical substance (including as part of an article) in a commercial enterprise providing saleable goods or services.

Consumer use means the use of a
chemical substance or a mixture containing a chemical substance (including as part of an article) when
sold to or made available to consumers
for their use.

e-CDRweb means the electronic, webbased tool provided by EPA for the completion and submission of the CDR
data.

Industrial function means the intended physical or chemical
characteristic for which a chemical
substance or mixture is consumed as a reactant; incorporated into a formulation, mixture, reaction product, or article; repackaged; or used.

Industrial use means use at a site at
which one or more chemical substances or mixtures are manufactured (including imported) or processed.

Intended for use by children means the chemical substance or mixture is used in or on a product that is specifically intended for use by children age 14 or younger. A chemical substance or mixture is intended for use by
children when the submitter answers ‘‘yes’’ to at least one of the following questions for the product into which the
submitter’s chemical substance or mixture is incorporated:

(1) Is the product commonly recognized (i.e., by a reasonable person) as being intended for children age 14 or younger?

(2) Does the manufacturer of the product state through product labeling
or other written materials that the product is intended for or will be used by children age 14 or younger?

(3) Is the advertising, promotion, or marketing of the product aimed at children age 14 or younger?

Manufacture means to manufacture, produce, or import, for commercial purposes. Manufacture includes the extraction, for commercial purposes, of a component chemical substance from a previously existing chemical substance or complex combination of chemical substances. When a chemical substance, manufactured other than by import, is:

(1) Produced exclusively for another person who contracts for such production, and

(2) That other person specifies the identity of the chemical substance and controls the total amount produced and the basic technology for the plant process, then that chemical substance is co-manufactured by the producing


### 54934 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

manufacturer and the person contracting for such production.

Manufacturer means a person who
manufactures a chemical substance.

Master Inventory File means EPA’s comprehensive list of chemical
substances which constitutes the TSCA Inventory compiled under TSCA section 8(b). It includes chemical substances reported under 40 CFR part 710 and substances reported under 40 CFR part
720 for which a Notice of
Commencement of Manufacture or Import has been received under 40 CFR

720.120.

Principal reporting year means the latest complete calendar year preceding the submission period.

Reasonably likely to be exposed means an exposure to a chemical substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment, maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.),
but excludes accidental or theoretical

exposures.

Repackaging means the physical
transfer of a chemical substance or mixture, as is, from one container to
another container or containers in preparation for distribution of the
chemical substance or mixture in

commerce.

Reportable chemical substance means a chemical substance described in § 711.5.

Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by a public right-of-way shall be considered one site. More than one manufacturing plant may be located on a single site.

(1) For chemical substances manufactured under contract, i.e., by a toll manufacturer, the site is the location
where the chemical substance is physically manufactured.

(2) The site for an importer who imports a chemical substance described in § 711.5 is the U.S. site of the operating unit within the person’s organization that is directly responsible for importing the chemical substance. The import site, in some cases, may be the organization’s headquarters in the
United States. If there is no such operating unit or headquarters in the United States, the site address for the importer is the U.S. address of an agent acting on behalf of the importer who is authorized to accept service of process for the importer.

(3) For portable manufacturing units sent to different locations from a single distribution center, the distribution
center shall be considered the site.

Site-limited means a chemical
substance is manufactured and processed only within a site and is not distributed for commercial purposes as a chemical substance or as part of a
mixture or article outside the site. Imported chemical substances are never site-limited. Although a site-limited
chemical substance is not distributed for commercial purposes outside the site at which it is manufactured and processed,
the chemical substance is considered to have been manufactured and processed for commercial purposes.

Submission period means the period in which the manufacturing, processing,
and use data are submitted to EPA.

U.S. parent company means the highest level company, located in the United States, that directly owns at least 50% of the voting stock of the
manufacturer.

Use means any utilization of a
chemical substance or mixture that is not otherwise covered by the terms manufacture or process. Relabeling or redistributing a container holding a
chemical substance or mixture where no repackaging of the chemical substance
or mixture occurs does not constitute use or processing of the chemical
substance or mixture.

**§ 711.5 Chemical substances for which information must be reported.** 

Any chemical substance that is in the Master Inventory File at the beginning of a submission period described in § 711.20, unless the chemical substance is specifically excluded by § 711.6.

**§ 711.6 Chemical substances for which information is not required.** 

The following groups or categories of chemical substances are exempted from some or all of the reporting requirements of this part, with the following exception: A chemical substance described in paragraph (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(4), or (b) of this section is not exempted from any of the reporting requirements of this part if that chemical substance is the subject of a rule proposed or promulgated under TSCA section 4, 5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6, or is the subject of an enforceable consent agreement (ECA) developed under the procedures of 40 CFR part 790, or is the subject of an order issued under TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f), or is the subject of relief that has been granted under a civil
action under TSCA section 5 or 7. (a) Full exemptions. The following categories of chemical substances are exempted from the reporting requirements of this part.

(1) Polymers—(i) Any chemical
substance described with the word fragments ‘‘*polym,’’ ‘‘*alkyd,’’ or ‘‘*oxylated’’ in the Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name in the Master Inventory File, where the asterisk (*) in the listed word fragments indicates that any sets of characters may precede, or follow, the character string defined.

(ii) Any chemical substance that is identified in the Master Inventory File as an enzyme, lignin, a polysaccharide (cellulose, gum, starch), a protein (albumin, casein, gelatin, gluten, hemoglobin), rubber, siloxane and silicone, or silsesquioxane.

(iii) This exclusion does not apply to a polymeric substance that has been depolymerized, hydrolyzed, or otherwise chemically modified, except in cases where the intended product of this reaction is totally polymeric in

structure.

(2) Microorganisms. Any combination of chemical substances that is a living organism, and that meets the definition
of microorganism at 40 CFR 725.3. Any chemical substance produced from a living microorganism is reportable under this part unless otherwise
excluded.

(3) Naturally occurring chemical
substances. Any naturally occurring chemical substance, as described in 40 CFR 710.4(b). The applicability of this exclusion is determined in each case by the specific activities of the person who
manufactures the chemical substance in question. Some chemical substances can
be manufactured both as described in 40 CFR 710.4(b) and by means other than those described in 40 CFR 710.4(b). If a person described in § 711.8 manufactures a chemical substance by
means other than those described in 40 CFR 710.4(b), the person must report regardless of whether the chemical
substance also could have been produced as described in 40 CFR 710.4(b). Any chemical substance that is produced from such a naturally occurring chemical substance described in 40 CFR 710.4(b) is reportable unless
otherwise excluded.

(4) Certain forms of natural gas and

water. Chemical substances with the following Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN): CASRN
7732–18–5, water; CASRN 8006–14–2, natural gas; CASRN 8006–61–9, gasoline, natural; CASRN 64741–48–6, natural gas (petroleum), raw liq. mix; CASRN 68410–63–9, natural gas, dried; CASRN 68425–31–0, gasoline (natural


### 54935 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

gas), natural; and CASRN 68919–39–1, natural gas condensates.

(b) Partial exemptions. The following groups of chemical substances are partially exempted from the reporting requirements of this part ( i.e., the information described in § 711.15(b)(4) need not be reported for these chemical substances). Such chemical substances

are not excluded from the other reporting requirements under this part. (1) Petroleum process streams. EPA has designated the chemical substances listed in Table 1 of this paragraph by CASRN, as partially exempt from reporting under the IUR.

(2) Specific exempted chemical

substances—(i) Exemption. EPA has determined that, at this time, the information in § 711.15(b)(4) associated with the chemical substances listed in


### 54944 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section is of
low current interest.

(ii) Considerations. In making its determination of whether this partial exemption should apply to a particular chemical substance, EPA will consider the totality of information available for the chemical substance in question, including but not limited to, one or more of the following considerations:

(A) Whether the chemical substance qualifies or has qualified in past IUR collections for the reporting of the information described in § 711.15(b)(4).

(B) The chemical substance’s chemical and physical properties or potential for persistence, bioaccumulation, health effects, or environmental effects (considered independently or together).

(C) The information needs of EPA, other Federal agencies, Tribes, States, and local governments, as well as members of the public.

(D) The availability of other complementary risk screening
information.

(E) The availability of comparable processing and use information.

(F) Whether the potential risks of the chemical substance are adequately managed. (iii) Amendments. EPA may amend the chemical substance list in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section on its own initiative or in response to a request from the public based on EPA’s
determination of whether the information in § 711.15(b)(4) is of low

interest.

(A) Any person may request that EPA
amend the chemical substance list in Table 2 in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section. Your request must be in writing and must be submitted to the following
address: OPPT IUR Submission Coordinator (7407M), Attention: Inventory Update Reporting, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001. Requests must identify the chemical substance in question, as
well as its CASRN or other chemical
identification number as identified in § 711.15(b)(3)(i), and must contain a written rationale for the request that provides sufficient specific information, addressing the considerations listed in § 711.6(b)(2)(ii), including cites and relevant documents, to demonstrate to
EPA that the collection of the information in § 711.15(b)(4) for the chemical substance in question either is

or is not of low current interest. If a request related to a particular chemical substance is resubmitted, any subsequent request must clearly identify

new information contained in the request. EPA may request other information that it believes necessary to evaluate the request. EPA will issue a written response to each request within 120 days of receipt of the request, and will maintain copies of these responses

in a docket that will be established for each reporting cycle.

(B) As needed, the Agency will initiate rulemaking to make revisions to Table 2 in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this

section.

(C) To assist EPA in reaching a decision regarding a particular request prior to a given principal reporting year, requests must be submitted to EPA no later than 12 months prior to the start of the next principal reporting year.

(iv) List of chemical substances. EPA has designated the chemical substances listed in Table 2 of this paragraph by CASRN, as partially exempt from reporting under the IUR.

(D) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of total production volume of the reportable
chemical substance associated with
each combination of industrial processing or use operation, sector, and industrial function category. Where a particular combination of industrial processing or use operation, sector, and industrial function category accounts for
less than 5% of the submitter’s site’s total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the percentage
must not be rounded off to 0% if the production volume attributable to that industrial processing or use operation, sector, and industrial function category combination is 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) or more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1%, of the submitter’s site’s total production volume of the reportable
chemical substance associated with the particular combination of industrial processing or use operation, sector, and industrial function category.

(E) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation, sector, and industrial function category, the
submitter must estimate the number of sites at which each reportable chemical substance is processed or used. For each
combination associated with each chemical substance, the submitter must select from among the ranges of sites listed in Table 9 of this paragraph and report the corresponding code ( i.e., S1 through S7):

(B) An indication, within each consumer and commercial product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, whether the
use is a consumer or a commercial use.

(C) Submitters must determine,
within each consumer and commercial product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, whether any amount of each reportable
chemical substance manufactured (including imported) by the submitter is present in (for example, a plasticizer
chemical substance used to make pacifiers) or on (for example, as a component in the paint on a toy) any consumer products intended for use by children age 14 or younger, regardless of
the concentration of the chemical substance remaining in or on the product. Submitters must select from the following options: The chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children,
the chemical substance is not used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children, or information as to
whether the chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children is not known to or reasonably ascertainable by
the submitter.

(D) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of the submitter’s site’s total production volume of the reportable chemical
substance associated with each consumer and commercial product category. Where a particular consumer and commercial product category
accounts for less than 5% of the total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the percentage
must not be rounded off to 0% if the production volume attributable to that commercial and consumer product category is 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) or more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1%, of the submitter’s site’s total production volume of the reportable
chemical substance associated with the particular consumer and commercial product category.

(E) Where the reportable chemical
substance is used in consumer or commercial products, the estimated typical maximum concentration, measured by weight, of the chemical
substance in each consumer and commercial product category reported under paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A) of this

concentrations listed in Table 5 in paragraph (b)(3)(viii) of this section and report the corresponding code ( i.e., M1 through M5).

(F) Where the reportable chemical
substance is used in a commercial product, the submitter must estimate the
number of commercial workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical substance. For each
combination associated with each substance, the submitter must select from among the worker ranges listed in Table 4 in paragraph (b)(3)(vii) of this section and report the corresponding code ( i.e., W1 though W8).

**§ 711.20 When to report.**

All information reported to EPA in response to the requirements of this part must be submitted during an applicable submission period. For the 2012 IUR, the submission period is from February 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012. Subsequent recurring submission periods are from June 1 to September 30 at 4-year intervals, beginning in 2016. In each submission period, any person described in § 711.8 must report as described in this part.

**§ 711.22 Duplicative reporting.**

(a) With regard to TSCA section 8(a)
rules. Any person subject to the requirements of this part who previously has complied with reporting requirements of a rule under TSCA section 8(a) by submitting the information described in § 711.15 for a chemical substance described in § 711.5 to EPA, and has done so within 1 year of the start of a submission period described in § 711.20, is not required to report again on the manufacture of that chemical substance at that site during that submission period.

(b) With regard to importers. This part requires that only one report be submitted on each import transaction involving a chemical substance described in § 711.5. When two or more persons are involved in a particular import transaction and each person meets the Agency’s definition of ‘‘importer’’ as set forth in 40 CFR 704.3, they may determine among themselves who should submit the required report; if no report is submitted as required under this part, EPA will hold each such person liable for failure to report.

(c) Toll manufacturers and persons contracting with a toll manufacturer. This part requires that only one report per site be submitted on each chemical substance described in § 711.5. When a company contracts with a toll

manufacturer to manufacture a chemical substance, and each party meets the Agency’s definition of ‘‘manufacturer’’ as set forth in § 711.3, they may determine among themselves who should submit the required report for that site. However, both the contracting company and the toll manufacturer are liable if no report is made.

**§ 711.25 Recordkeeping requirements.**

Each person who is subject to the reporting requirements of this part must retain records that document any information reported to EPA. Records relevant to reporting during a submission period must be retained for a period of 5 years beginning on the last day of the submission period. Submitters are encouraged to retain their records longer than 5 years to ensure that past records are available as

a reference when new submissions are being generated.

**§ 711.30 Confidentiality claims.**

(a) Confidentiality claims. Any person submitting information under this part may assert a business confidentiality
claim for the information at the time it is submitted. Any such confidentiality
claims must be made at the time the
information is submitted. Confidentiality claims cannot be made when a response is left blank or designated as not known or reasonably ascertainable. These claims will apply only to the information submitted with the claim. New confidentiality claims, if appropriate, must be asserted with regard to information submitted during a different submission period. Guidance for asserting confidentiality claims is provided in the instructions identified in § 711.35. Information claimed as
confidential in accordance with this
section will be treated and disclosed in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR part 2.

(b) Chemical identity. A person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical identity of a specific chemical substance only if the identity of that
chemical substance is treated as confidential in the Master Inventory File as of the time the report is submitted for that chemical substance under this part. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for the identity of a reportable chemical
substance:

(1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official.

(i) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, or to your supplier’s competitive position, do you think would result from the identity of the chemical substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this part? How could a competitor use such
information? Would the effects of
disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the
disclosure and the harmful effects?

(ii) How long should confidential treatment be given? Until a specific date, the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently? Why?

(iii) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you granted licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to the chemical
substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be
treated as confidential?

(iv) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept confidential to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being manufactured or imported for a commercial purpose by anyone? (v) Is the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured (including imported) for a commercial purpose available to the public, for example in technical journals, libraries, or State, local, or Federal agency public
files?

(vi) What measures have been taken to prevent undesired disclosure of the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured (including imported) for a commercial purpose?

(vii) To what extent has the fact that
this chemical substance is manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes been revealed to others? What precautions have been taken regarding
these disclosures? Have there been public disclosures or disclosures to competitors?

(viii) Does this particular chemical
substance leave the site of manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as product, effluent, emission? If so, what measures have been taken to guard against the discovery of its identity?

(ix) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a product that is available to the public or your competitors, can the chemical substance be identified by analysis of the product?

(x) For what purpose do you manufacture (including import) the
chemical substance?

(xi) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical substance? If so, please attach copies of such determinations.

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions listed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section is
asserted to contain confidential business information (CBI), the submitter must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page with
a label such as ‘‘confidential business information,’’ ‘‘proprietary,’’ or ‘‘trade

secret.’’

(c) Site identity. A submitter may assert a claim of confidentiality for a site only if the linkage of the site with a reportable chemical substance is confidential and not publicly available. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for a site identity:

(1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official:

(i) Has site information been linked with a chemical identity in any other Federal, State, or local reporting scheme? For example, is the chemical identity linked to a facility in a filing under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 311, namely through a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)? If so, identify all such schemes. Was the linkage claimed as confidential in any of these

instances?

(ii) What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position do you think would result from the identity of the site and the chemical substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this part? How could a competitor
use such information? Would the effects
of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the
disclosure and the harmful effects?

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this section is asserted to contain CBI, the submitter must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page
with a label such as ‘‘confidential business information,’’ ‘‘proprietary,’’ or
‘‘trade secret.’’

(d) Processing and use information. A submitter may assert a claim of confidentiality for each data element required by § 711.15(b)(4) only if the linkage of the information with a reportable chemical substance is confidential and not publicly available. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for each data element, individually, required by § 711.15(b)(4):

(1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official:

(i) Is the identified use of this chemical substance publicly known? For example, is information on the use
available in advertisements or other marketing materials, professional journals or other similar materials, or in non-confidential mandatory or voluntary government filings or publications? Has your company ever provided use information on the
chemical substance that was not
claimed as confidential?

(ii) What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position or to your customer’s competitive position do you
think would result from the information reported as required by § 711.15(b)(4) and the chemical substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this part? How could a competitor
use such information? Would the effects
of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the
disclosure and the substantial harmful
effects?

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this section is asserted to contain CBI, the submitter


### 54953 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page
with a label such as ‘‘confidential business information,’’ ‘‘proprietary,’’ or
‘‘trade secret.’’

(e) No claim of confidentiality. If no claim of confidentiality is indicated on
Form U submitted to EPA under this part; if Form U lacks the certification required by § 711.15(b)(1); if confidentiality claim substantiation required under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section is not submitted with Form U; or if the identity of a chemical
substance listed on the non-confidential portion of the Master Inventory File is claimed as confidential, EPA may make the information available to the public
without further notice to the submitter.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

Section 132 of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), Public Law 110–275, authorized the Secretary to establish a program to encourage the adoption and use of eRx technology. Implemented in 2009, the program
offers a combination of financial incentives and payment adjustments to eligible professionals, which are defined under section 1848(k)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act). We understand that the term ‘‘eligible professional’’ is used in multiple CMS programs. However, for the purpose of this final rule, the eligible professionals to whom we refer are only those professionals eligible to participate in the eRx Incentive Program unless we specify
otherwise. For more information on which professionals are eligible to participate in the eRx Incentive Program, we refer readers to the Eligible Professionals page of the eRx Incentive Program section of the CMS Web site at: http://www.cms.gov/ERxIncentive/05

_ Eligible%20Professionals. asp#TopOfPage. Under section 1848(m)(2) of the Act, an eligible professional (or group practice participating in the eRx group practice reporting option (GPRO)) who is a successful electronic prescriber during 2011 can qualify for an incentive payment equal to 1.0 percent of the Secretary’s estimate of Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) allowed charges for covered professional services furnished by the eligible professional (or group practice) during the 2011 reporting period.

In accordance with section 1848(a)(5)(A) of the Act, a PFS payment adjustment will begin in 2012 for those eligible professionals and group practices who are not successful electronic prescribers and will increase each year through 2014. Specifically, under 42 CFR 414.92(c)(2), for covered professional services furnished by an eligible professional during 2012, 2013, and 2014, if an eligible professional (or in the case of a group practice, the group practice) is not a successful electronic prescriber (as specified by CMS for purposes of the payment adjustment) for an applicable reporting period (as specified by CMS), then the PFS amount for such services furnished by such professional (or group practice) during the year shall be equal to the applicable percent (99 percent for 2012, 98.5 percent for 2013, and 98 percent for 2014) of the PFS amount that would otherwise apply. For each year of the program thus far, we have established program requirements for the eRx Incentive Program in the annual Medicare PFS rulemaking, including the applicable reporting period(s) for the year and how an eligible professional
