Certain New Chemicals or Significant 

New Uses; Statements of Findings for 

February 2021 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) requires EPA to publish in 

the Federal Register a statement of its 

findings after its review of certain TSCA 

notices when EPA makes a finding that 

a new chemical substance or significant 

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to premanufacture notices (PMNs), 

microbial commercial activity notices 

(MCANs), and significant new use 

notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA 

under TSCA. This document presents 

statements of findings made by EPA on 

such submissions during the period 

from February 1, 2021 to February 28, 

2021.

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

notices submitted under TSCA section 

5(a) that certain new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment. This document presents 

statements of findings made by EPA 

during the period from February 1, 2021 

to February 28, 2021. 

III. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to 

review a TSCA section 5(a) notice and 

make one of the following specific 

findings: 

• The chemical substance or 

significant new use presents an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment; 

• The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects of the chemical 

substance or significant new use; 

• The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects and the chemical 

substance or significant new use may 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment; 

• The chemical substance is or will 

be produced in substantial quantities, 

and such substance either enters or may 

reasonably be anticipated to enter the 

environment in substantial quantities or 

there is or may be significant or 

substantial human exposure to the 

substance; or 

• The chemical substance or 

significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. 

These findings must be made without 

consideration of costs or other non-risk 

factors, including an unreasonable risk 

to a potentially exposed or susceptible 

subpopulation identified as relevant 

under the conditions of use. The term 

‘‘conditions of use’’ is defined in TSCA 

section 3 to mean ‘‘the circumstances, as 

determined by the Administrator, under 

which a chemical substance is intended, 

known, or reasonably foreseen to be 

manufactured, processed, distributed in 

commerce, used, or disposed of.’’ 

EPA is required under TSCA section 

5(g) to publish in the Federal Register 

a statement of its findings after its 

review of a TSCA section 5(a) notice 

when EPA makes a finding that a new 

chemical substance or significant new 

use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period. 

IV. Statements of Administrator 

Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)

following information (to the extent that 

such information is not claimed as 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and 

SNUNs for which, during this period,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction 

In the Federal Register of May 27, 

2021 in notice FR Doc. 2021–11276, 

beginning on page 28596, make the 

following corrections: 

1. On page 25896, third column, in 

the ‘‘FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT:’’ section, the contact person 

listed was incorrect. Please contact 

Kathy Hurld using the contact 

information in the ‘‘FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT:’’ section of this 

document. 

2. On page 28596, third column, and 

continuing on the first column of page 

28597, in the ‘‘SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION:’’ section, correct the five 

full paragraphs of the ‘‘Abstract’’ 

section, to read as follow: 

‘‘Abstract: Section 404(g) of the 

Federal Water Pollution Control Act 

(FWPCA/Clean Water Act (CWA)), 

authorizes states and tribes to assume 

the section 404 permit program for 

discharges of dredged or fill material 

into certain waters of the United States. 

This ICR covers the collection of 

information that EPA needs to perform 

its program approval and oversight 

responsibilities and that the state or 

tribe needs to implement its program. 

Request to assume CWA section 404 

permit program. States and tribes must 

demonstrate that they meet the statutory 

and regulatory requirements at 40 CFR 

part 233 for an approvable program. 

Specified information and documents 

must be submitted by the state or tribe 

to EPA to request assumption and must 

be sufficient to enable EPA to conduct 

an analysis of the state or tribal 

program. The information contained in 

the assumption request submission is 

provided to the other involved federal 

agencies and to the general public for 

review and comment. 

Permit application information. States 

and tribes with assumed programs must 

be able to issue permits that assure 

compliance with all applicable statutory 

and regulatory requirements, including 

the CWA section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. 

Sufficient information must be provided 

in the application so that states or tribes 

and federal agencies reviewing the 

permit are able to evaluate, avoid, 

minimize, and compensate for any 

anticipated impacts resulting from the 

proposed project. EPA’s assumption 

regulations at 40 CFR 233.30 establish 

required and recommended elements 

that should be included in the state or 

tribe’s permit application, so that 

sufficient information is available to 

assess anticipated impacts. These 

minimum information requirements 

generally reflect the information that 

must be submitted when applying for a 

section 404 permit from the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers. (CWA section 

404(h); CWA section 404(j); 40 CFR 

230.10, 233.20, 233.21, 233.34, and 

233.50; 33 CFR 325)). 

Annual report and program 

information. EPA has an oversight role 

for assumed section 404 permit 

programs to ensure that state or tribal 

programs comply with applicable
