SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does This Action Apply to Me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture (defined 

by statue to include import) or process 

any of the chemical substances that are 

listed in § 799.5087(j) of the proposed 

regulatory text of the HPV2 proposed 

rule. Any use of the term ‘‘manufacture’’ 

in this document will encompass 

‘‘import,’’ unless otherwise stated. In 

addition, once the Agency issues a final 

rule any person who exports, or intends 

to export, any of the chemical 

substances included in the final rule 

will be subject to the export notification 

requirements in TSCA section 12(b)(1) 

and 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. 

Potentially affected entities may 

include, but are not limited to: 

• Manufacturers (defined by statute to 

include importers) of one or more of the 

19 subject chemical substances listed in 

the HPV2 proposed rule (NAIC codes 

325 and 324110), e.g., chemical 

manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 

• Processors of one or more of the 19 

subject chemical substances listed in the 

HPV2 proposed rule (NAIC 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

II. Background 

In the Federal Register issue of July 

24, 2008 (73 FR 43314) (FRL–8373–9), 

EPA published a proposed rule under 

TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B) to require 

manufacturers, importers, and 

processors of certain HPV chemical 

substances to conduct testing to obtain 

screening level data for health and 

environmental effects and chemical fate. 

EPA has preliminarily determined that: 

Each of the 19 chemical substances 

included in that proposed rule is 

produced in substantial quantities and 

that there is or may be substantial 

human exposure to each of them; there 

are insufficient data to reasonably 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 49 / Monday, March 16, 2009 / Proposed Rules 11051 

determine or predict the effects on 

health or the environment of the 

manufacture, distribution in commerce, 

processing, use, or disposal of the 

chemicals, or of any combination of 

these activities; and the testing program 

proposed is necessary to develop such 

data. Data developed under the 

proposed rule will provide critical 

information about the environmental 

fate and potential hazards associated 

with the subject chemical which, when 

combined with information about 

exposure and uses will allow the 

Agency and others to evaluate potential 

health and environmental risks and to 

take appropriate follow-up actions. 

In response to the proposed rule, EPA 

received two requests to present oral 

comment pertaining to specific 

chemical substances and also the testing 

program and testing methodologies 

proposed. One request to present oral 

comment came from Chlorinated 

Paraffins Industry Association (CPIA). A 

second request to present oral comment 

came from People for the Ethical 

Treatment of Animals (PETA), on behalf 

of themselves; the Physicians 

Committee for Responsible Medicine 

(PCRM); the Alternatives Research 

Development Foundation; and the 

America Anti-Vivisection Society. 

Written comments provided during the 

comment period for the proposed rule, 

including those of requesting an 

opportunity for oral comment, are 

available and can be viewed in the 

docket under docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPPT–2007–0531. 

III. How Can I Request To Participate 

in This Meeting? 

You may submit a request to

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Do not 

submit any information in your request 

that is considered CBI. Requests to
