**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.

. 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:// www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/ invntory.htm

**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. Title: Sections 1.5000 through 1.5007, Implementation of Section 34(a)(1) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 1 respondent; 1 response.

Estimated Time per Response: 10 hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement.

Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is required by section 34(a)(1) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA 1935), as amended by section 103 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Public Law No. 104–104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996) and authorized by sections 4(i), 4(j) and 303(r) of the
