Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances; Withdrawal of 

Two Chemical Substances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing two 

significant new use rules (SNURs) 

promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

for chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs), i.e., rutile, tin zinc, calciumdoped (PMN P–06–36; CAS No. 

389623–01–2) and rutile, tin zinc, 

sodium-doped (PMN P–06–37; CAS No. 

389623–07–8). These chemical 

substances are subject to TSCA section 

5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. EPA 

received a notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments on the direct final 

rule. Therefore, the Agency is 

withdrawing these SNURs, as required 

under the expedited SNUR rulemaking 

process. EPA intends to publish in the 

near future proposed SNURs for these 

two chemical substances under separate 

notice and comment procedures. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

December 5, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

A list of potentially affected entities is 

provided in the Federal Register issue 

of October 5, 2011 (76 FR 61566) (FRL– 

8880–2). If you have questions regarding 

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. What rules are being withdrawn? 

In the Federal Register issue of 

October 5, 2011, EPA issued several 

direct final SNURs, including SNURs 

for the two chemical substances that are 

the subject of this withdrawal. These 

direct final rules were issued pursuant 

to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart D. In accordance with 

§ 721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is withdrawing 

the rules issued for rutile, tin zinc, 

calcium-doped (PMN P–06–36; CAS No. 

389623–01–2) and rutile, tin zinc, 

sodium-doped (PMN P–06–37; CAS No. 

389623–07–8) because the Agency 

received a notice of intent to submit 

adverse comments. For further 

information regarding EPA’s expedited 

process for issuing SNURs, interested 

parties are directed to 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart D, and the Federal Register 

issue of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 31314). 

The docket for the direct final SNURs 

for these two chemical substances that 

are being withdrawn was established at 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2010–1075. That 

docket includes information considered 

by the Agency in developing these 

direct final rules and the notice of intent 

to submit adverse comments. EPA 

intends to publish in the near future 

proposed SNURs for these two chemical 

substances under separate notice and 

comment procedures. 

III. How do I access the docket? 

To access the electronic docket, 

please go to http://www.regulations.gov 

and follow the online instructions to 

access docket ID number EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2010–1075. Additional 

information about the Docket Facility is 

provided under ADDRESSES in the 

Federal Register issue of October 5, 

2011. If you have questions, consult the 

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

IV. What statutory and Executive Order 

reviews apply to this action? 

This final rule removes an existing 

regulatory requirement and does not 

contain any new or amended 

requirements. As such, the Agency has 

determined that this withdrawal will 

not have any adverse impacts, economic 

or otherwise. The statutory and 

executive order review requirements 

applicable to the direct final rule were 

discussed in the Federal Register issue 

of October 5, 2011. Those review 

requirements do not apply to this action 

because it is a withdrawal and does not 

contain any new or amended 

requirements. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and the Comptroller 

General of the United States. EPA will 

submit a report containing this 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 rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

DATES: This rule is effective on February 

3, 2012 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives adverse comments by 

January 4, 2012. If we receive such 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register to 

notify the public that this direct final 

rule will not take effect.
