TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory 

Update; Changing Certain Chemical 

Substances Identities from 

Confidential to Non-Confidential 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is updating the Toxics 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA 

Inventory) Master File to list 530 

chemical substances as non-confidential 

on the TSCA Inventory that were 

previously listed as confidential. This 

action is necessary because these 

chemical substances no longer qualify 

for listing as confidential on the TSCA 

Inventory. 

DATES: This update is effective July 22, 

2009. 

These chemical substances will be 

listed on public versions of the TSCA 

Inventory on or after August 3, 2009.

opptintr/newchems/pubs/invntory.htm. 

II. Background 

The TSCA Inventory is a listing of all 

chemical substances manufactured, 

imported, or processed for a commercial 

purpose, which EPA was directed to 

establish and maintain pursuant to 

TSCA section 8. Since the initial TSCA 

Inventory was published, persons 

intending to manufacture or import a 

non-exempt chemical substance that is 

not on the TSCA Inventory have been 

required to submit premanufacture 

notices (PMNs) to the Agency under 

TSCA section 5; see 40 CFR part 720. 

For more information about the TSCA 

Inventory and related requirements, go 

to the TSCA Inventory webpage 

identified in Unit I.B.2. 

The TSCA Inventory implementing 

regulations in 40 CFR part 710 provide 

that the manufacturer or importer may 

claim that the identity of a chemical 

substance in commerce is CBI. 

Confidential chemical identities are not 

listed on public versions of the TSCA 

Inventory. Chemical identities that are 

not confidential (i.e., where it is public 

knowledge that the chemical substance 

is in commerce) are listed on public 

versions of the TSCA Inventory. 

III. Updating of the Public and 

Confidential TSCA Inventory Data 

When reporting under the TSCA 

Inventory Update Rule (IUR at 40 CFR 

part 710), some manufacturers of these 

530 chemical substances did not 

include any claim of confidentiality for 

the chemical identity of the chemical 

substance with the IUR submission. 

These chemical identities were 

previously listed as confidential on the 

TSCA Inventory. IUR regulations at 40 

CFR 710.38(d) provide that where no 

claim of confidentiality accompanies 

IUR information at the time it is 

submitted to EPA, the Agency may 

make the information available to the 

public without further notice to the 

submitter. By submitting non-CBI IUR 

reports for previously confidential 

chemical identities, manufacturers make 

those chemical identities eligible for 

inclusion on public versions of the 

TSCA Inventory. 

With this action, EPA is updating the 

TSCA Inventory Master File to reflect 

the public status of the identities of 

these chemical substances. The 

complete list of these chemical 

substances is provided in the docket at 

http://www.regulations.gov. The 

updated public version of the TSCA 

Inventory will be available on or after 

August 3, 2009. For information on how 

to access the public (also referred to as 

the non-confidential) version of the 

TSCA Inventory, go to http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0723. 

Title: 47 U.S.C. Section 276, Public 

Disclosure of Network Information by 

Bell Operating Companies (BOCs). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 3 

respondents; 3 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 120 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 276 

of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. 

Total Annual Burden: 360 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

If the Commission requests respondents 

to submit information to the 

Commission or to USAC that the 

respondents believe is confidential, the 

respondents may request confidential 

treatment of such information pursuant 

to 47 CFR section 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60 day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting an extension (no change in 

the reporting and/or third party 

disclosure requirements) of this 

information collection. The Commission 

is reporting no change in their burden 

estimates. 

Under 47 U.S.C. section 276(b)(1)(C), 

the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) 

are required to publicly disclose 

changes in their networks or new 

network services. 

The Computer III network information 

disclosure requirements specifically 

state that the disclosure would occur at 

two different points in time. First, 

disclosure would occur at eh make/buy 

point: when a BOC decides to make for 

itself, or procure from an unaffiliated 

entity, any product whose design affects 

or relies on the network interface. 

Second, a BOC would publicly disclose 

technical information about a new 

service 12 months before it is 

introduced. If the BOC could introduce 

the service within 12 months of the 

make/buy point, it would make a public 

disclosure at the make/buy point. In no 

event, however, would the public 

disclosure occur less than six months 

before the introduction of the service. 

Without provision of this information, 

the industry would be unable to 

ascertain whether the BOCs designing 

new network services or changing 

network technical specifications are to 

the advantage of their own payphones, 

or might disadvantage BOC payphone 

competitors. The of the requirements are 

used to ensue that BOCs comply with 

their obligations under the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0711.
