Subchapter B—Copyright Claims Board, 

Library of Congress 

PART 221—REGISTRATION 

Sec. 

221.1 Registration requirement. 

221.2 Small claims expedited registration. 

Authority: 17 U.S.C. 702, 1510. 

§ 221.1 Registration requirement. 

(a) A claim or counterclaim alleging 

infringement of an exclusive right in a 

copyrighted work may not be asserted 

before the Copyright Claims Board 

unless the legal or beneficial owner of 

the copyright has first delivered a 

completed application, a deposit, and 

the required fee for registration of the 

copyright to the Copyright Office and a 

registration certificate has either been 

issued or has not been refused. 

(b) For a work that has not yet been 

registered, a claimant or 

counterclaimant who has a pending 

application to register the work must 

indicate on its claim or counterclaim 

notice that the work is pending 

registration and must include the work’s 

service request (SR) number that was 

assigned to the copyright registration 

claim. If the proceeding cannot continue 

because of a pending registration, the 

Copyright Claims Board shall hold 

proceedings in abeyance until the 

claimant or counterclaimant provides 

the Copyright Claims Board with the 

certificate of registration or the 

registration number on the certificate of 

registration or certificate preview. The 

proceeding shall be dismissed without 

prejudice if the Copyright Claims Board 

is notified that the registration 

application was rejected. If the 

proceeding has been held in abeyance 

for more than one year, the Copyright 

Claims Board may dismiss the claim or 

counterclaim without prejudice after 

providing thirty days written notice to 

all parties to the proceeding. 

§ 221.2 Small claims expedited 

registration. 

(a) Eligibility. A claimant or 

counterclaimant alleging infringement 

of an exclusive right in a copyrighted 

work before the Copyright Claims Board 

is eligible to expedite a copyright 

registration application under this 

section. This process shall be known as 

small claims expedited registration. 

(b) Initiating small claims expedited 

registration. The small claims expedited 

registration process can only be initiated 

after the claimant or counterclaimant 

has completed an application for 

copyright registration and the 

proceeding has become active. To 

initiate the small claims expedited 

registration process, the qualifying 

claimant or counterclaimant must make 

a request and pay the required fee as 

directed by the Copyright Claims Board. 

Parties should request small claims 

expedited registration once the 

proceeding has become active. Parties 

must not attempt to initiate small claims 

expedited registration by using the 

Copyright Office’s electronic registration 

system (eCO). 

(c) Fee—(1) Amount. The small claims 

expedited registration fee for each 

request must be made for the 

appropriate amount, as prescribed in 

§ 201.3(c). The fee for small claims 

expedited registration is intended to 

accelerate the registration process for a 

qualifying Copyright Claims Board 

claimant or counterclaimant that 

already has a pending registration 

application; it is in addition to, and 

does not offset, the fee for copyright 

registration. 

(2) Method of payment. (i) The fee for 

small claims expedited registration must 

be submitted electronically to the 

Copyright Claims Board and not through 

the Copyright Office’s electronic 

registration system (eCO). 

(ii) A claimant or counterclaimant 

shall follow instructions on the 

Copyright Office website to make 

electronic payments by Pay.gov. 

Applicants may not use a deposit 

account to make payments for small 

claims expedited registration. 

(3) No refunds. The small claims 

expedited registration fee is not 

refundable, unless the small claims 

expedited registration request is denied 

under paragraph (d) of this section. 

(d) Denied requests. If the applicant 

failed to pay the required fee or if the 

Copyright Office determines that 

expedited registration under this section 

would be unduly burdensome based on 

the Office’s workload or budget at the 

time the request is made, the Office will 

notify the applicant that the request has 

been denied and that the copyright 

registration claim will be examined on 

a regular basis. 

(e) Granted requests. If the request for 

expedited registration under this section 

is granted, the Office will make every 

attempt to examine the application or 

the document within ten business days 

after notice of the request is delivered 

by the Copyright Claims Board to the 

Copyright Office’s Office of Registration 

Policy and Practice, although the 

Copyright Office cannot guarantee that 

all applications or all documents will be 

registered or recorded within that 

timeframe. 

(f) Identical registration standards. 

The Copyright Office will apply the 

same practices and procedures when 

examining a copyright registration 

claim, regardless of whether the 

applicant asks for small claims 

expedited registration.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances (19–2.F) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new 

use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 

chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). This action requires persons to 

notify EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) or processing 

of any of these chemical substances for 

an activity that is designated as a 

significant new use by this rule. This 

action further requires that persons not 

commence manufacture or processing 

for the significant new use until they 

have submitted a Significant New Use 

Notice (SNUN), and EPA has conducted 

a review of the notice, made an 

appropriate determination on the notice, 

and has taken any risk management 

actions as are required as a result of that 

determination. 

DATES: This rule is effective on October 

18, 2021. For purposes of judicial 

review, this rule shall be promulgated at 

1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on September 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture, process, 

or use the chemical substances 

contained in this rule. The following list 

of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Manufacturers or processors of one 

or more subject chemical substances 

(NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., 

chemical manufacturing and petroleum 

refineries. 

This action may also affect certain 

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 

U.S.C. 2612) import provisions. The 

EPA policy in support of import 

certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, 

subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 

CFR 721.20, any persons who export or 

intend to export a chemical substance 

that is the subject of this rule are subject 

to the export notification provisions of 

TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)), 

and must comply with the export 

notification requirements in 40 CFR part 

707, subpart D.

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is finalizing SNURs under TSCA 

section 5(a)(2) for chemical substances 

which were the subject of PMNs P–16– 

400, P–17–119, P–17–191, P–17–220, P– 

17–387, P–17–388, P–18–7, P–18–8, P– 

18–77, P–18–85, P–18–101, P–18–107, 

P–18–118, P–18–119, P–18–152, P–18– 

169, P–18–238, P–18–307, P–18–312, P– 

19–8, P–19–9, P–19–26, P–19–27, and 

P–19–45. These SNURs require persons 

who intend to manufacture or process 

any of these chemical substances for an 

activity that is designated as a 

significant new use to notify EPA at 

least 90 days before commencing that 

activity. 

Previously, in the Federal Register of 

August 6, 2019 (84 FR 38159) (FRL– 

9996–62), EPA proposed SNURs for the 

chemical substances being finalized in 

this Federal Register document, in 

addition to proposing SNURs for other 

chemical substances, which will be 

addressed in a subsequent Federal 

Register document. More information 

on the specific chemical substances 

subject to this final rule can be found in 

the Federal Register document 

proposing the SNURs. The docket 

includes information considered by the 

Agency in developing the proposed and 

final rules, including the public 

comments received on the proposed 

rules that are described in Unit IV. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 

2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine 

that a use of a chemical substance is a 

‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make 

this determination by rule after 

considering all relevant factors, 

including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) 

factors listed in Unit III. 

C. Do the SNUR general provisions 

apply? 

General provisions for SNURs appear 

in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These 

provisions describe persons subject to 

the rule, recordkeeping requirements, 

exemptions to reporting requirements, 

and applicability of the rule to uses 

occurring before the effective date of the 

rule. Provisions relating to user fees 

appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to 

40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these 

SNURs must comply with the same 

SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory 

procedures as submitters of PMNs under 

TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In particular, 

these requirements include the 

information submission requirements of 

TSCA sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the 

exemptions authorized by TSCA 

sections 5(h)(1), 5(h)(2), 5(h)(3), and 

5(h)(5) and the regulations at 40 CFR 

part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, 

EPA must either determine that the 

significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury or 

take such regulatory action as is 

associated with an alternative 

determination before manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

can commence. If EPA determines that 

the significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk, EPA is 

required under TSCA section 5(g) to 

make public, and submit for publication 

in the Federal Register, a statement of 

EPA’s findings. 

III. Significant New Use Determination 

A. Determination Factors 

TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA’s 

determination that a use of a chemical 

substance is a significant new use must 

be made after consideration of all 

relevant factors, including: 

• The projected volume of 

manufacturing and processing of a 

chemical substance. 

• The extent to which a use changes 

the type or form of exposure of human 

beings or the environment to a chemical 

substance. 

• The extent to which a use increases 

the magnitude and duration of exposure 

of human beings or the environment to 

a chemical substance. 

• The reasonably anticipated manner 

and methods of manufacturing, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

and disposal of a chemical substance. 

In determining what would constitute 

a significant new use for the chemical 

substances that are the subject of these 

SNURs, EPA considered relevant 

information about the toxicity of the 

chemical substances and potential 

human exposures and environmental 

releases that may be associated with the 

substances, in the context of the four 

bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors 

listed in this unit. 

During its review of the chemical 

substances that are the subjects of these 

SNURs and as further discussed in Unit 

VI., EPA identified potential risk 

concerns associated with other 

circumstances of use that, while not 

intended or reasonably foreseen, may 

occur in the future. EPA is designating 

those other circumstances of use as 

significant new uses.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 46125 

B. Procedures for Significant New Uses 

Claimed as Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) 

By this rule, EPA is establishing 

certain significant new uses which have 

been claimed as CBI subject to Agency 

confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR 

part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. 

Absent a final determination or other 

disposition of the confidentiality claim 

under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is 

required to keep this information 

confidential. EPA promulgated a 

procedure to deal with the situation 

where a specific significant new use is 

CBI, at 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1) and has 

referenced it to apply to other SNURs. 

Under these procedures a 

manufacturer or processor may request 

EPA to determine whether a specific use 

would be a significant new use under 

the rule. The manufacturer or processor 

must show that it has a bona fide intent 

to manufacture or process the chemical 

substance and must identify the specific 

use for which it intends to manufacture 

or process the chemical substance. If 

EPA concludes that the person has 

shown a bona fide intent to manufacture 

or process the chemical substance, EPA 

will tell the person whether the use 

identified in the bona fide submission 

would be a significant new use under 

the rule. Since most of the chemical 

identities of the chemical substances 

subject to these SNURs are also CBI, 

manufacturers and processors can 

combine the bona fide submission 

under the procedure in 40 CFR 

721.1725(b)(1) with that under 40 CFR 

721.11 into a single step. 

If EPA determines that the use 

identified in the bona fide submission 

would not be a significant new use, i.e., 

the use does not meet the criteria 

specified in the rule for a significant 

new use, that person can manufacture or 

process the chemical substance so long 

as the significant new use trigger is not 

met. In the case of a production volume 

trigger, this means that the aggregate 

annual production volume does not 

exceed that identified in the bona fide 

submission to EPA. Because of 

confidentiality concerns, EPA does not 

typically disclose the actual production 

volume that constitutes the use trigger. 

Thus, if the person later intends to 

exceed that volume, a new bona fide 

submission would be necessary to 

determine whether that higher volume 

would be a significant new use. 

IV. Public Comments 

EPA received public comments from 

three identifying entities on the 

proposed rule. The Agency’s responses 

are presented in the Response to Public 

Comments document that is available in 

the docket for this rule. EPA made 

changes to two of the proposed rules 

based on these comments, as described 

in the response to comments. 

V. Substances Subject to This Rule 

EPA is establishing significant new 

use and recordkeeping requirements for 

chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, 

subpart E. In Unit IV. of the proposed 

SNUR, EPA provided the following 

information for each chemical 

substance: 

• PMN number. 

• Chemical name (generic name, if 

the specific name is claimed as CBI). 

• Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

Registry number (if assigned for nonconfidential chemical identities). 

• Basis for the SNUR. 

• Potentially useful information. 

• CFR citation assigned in the 

regulatory text section of this final rule. 

The regulatory text section of these 

rules specifies the activities designated 

as significant new uses. Certain new 

uses, including production volume 

limits and other uses designated in the 

rules, may be claimed as CBI. 

VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule 

A. Rationale 

The chemical substances that are the 

subjects of these SNURs received ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk’’ 

determinations under TSCA section 

5(a)(3)(C) based on EPA’s review of the 

intended, known, and reasonably 

foreseen conditions of use. However, 

EPA has identified other circumstances 

that, should they occur in the future, 

even if not reasonably foreseen, may 

present risk concerns. Specifically, EPA 

has determined that deviations from the 

protective measures identified in the 

PMN submissions could result in 

changes in the type or form of exposure 

to the chemical substances, increased 

exposures to the chemical substances, 

and/or changes in the reasonably 

anticipated manner and methods of 

manufacturing, processing, distribution 

in commerce, and disposal of the 

chemical substances. These SNURs 

identify as a significant new use 

manufacturing, processing, use, 

distribution in commerce, or disposal 

that does not conform to the protective 

measures identified in the submissions. 

As a result, those significant new uses 

cannot occur without first going through 

a separate, subsequent EPA review and 

determination process associated with a 

SNUN. 

B. Objectives 

EPA is issuing these SNURs because 

the Agency wants: 

• To have an opportunity to review 

and evaluate data submitted in a SNUN 

before the notice submitter begins 

manufacturing or processing a listed 

chemical substance for the described 

significant new use. 

• To be obligated to make a 

determination under TSCA section 

5(a)(3) regarding the use described in 

the SNUN, under the conditions of use. 

The Agency will either determine under 

section 5(a)(3)(C) that the significant 

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk, including an 

unreasonable risk to a potentially 

exposed or susceptible subpopulation 

identified as relevant by the 

Administrator under the conditions of 

use, or make a determination under 

TSCA section 5(a)(3)(A) or (B) and take 

the required regulatory action associated 

with the determination, before 

manufacture or processing for the 

significant new use of the chemical 

substance can occur. 

• To be able to complete its review 

and determination on each of the PMN 

substances, while deferring analysis on 

the significant new uses proposed in 

these rules unless and until the Agency 

receives a SNUN. 

Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical 

substance does not signify that the 

chemical substance is listed on the 

TSCA Inventory. Guidance on how to 

determine if a chemical substance is on 

the TSCA Inventory is available on the 

internet at https://www.epa.gov/tscainventory. 

VII. Applicability of the Rules to Uses 

Occurring Before the Effective Date of 

the Final Rule 

To establish a significant new use, 

EPA must determine that the use is not 

ongoing. The chemical substances 

subject to this rule have undergone 

premanufacture review. In cases where 

EPA has not received a notice of 

commencement (NOC) and the chemical 

substance has not been added to the 

TSCA Inventory, no person may 

commence such activities without first 

submitting a PMN. Therefore, for 

chemical substances for which an NOC 

has not been submitted, EPA concludes 

that the designated significant new uses 

are not ongoing. 

When the chemical substances 

identified in this rule are added to the 

TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, 

before the rule is effective, other persons 

might engage in a use that has been 

identified as a significant new use. 

However, the identities of many of the 

chemical substances subject to this rule 

have been claimed as confidential (per 

40 CFR 720.85). Based on this, the 

Agency believes that it is highly 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
46126 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

unlikely that any of the significant new 

uses described in the regulatory text of 

this rule are ongoing. 

EPA designated August 6, 2019 (the 

date of FR publication of the proposed 

rule) as the cutoff date for determining 

whether the new use is ongoing. The 

objective of EPA’s approach is to ensure 

that a person cannot defeat a SNUR by 

initiating a significant new use before 

the effective date of the final rule. 

Persons who began commercial 

manufacture or processing of the 

chemical substances for a significant 

new use identified on or after that date 

will have to cease any such activity 

upon the effective date of the final rule. 

To resume their activities, these persons 

would have to first comply with all 

applicable SNUR notification 

requirements and EPA would have to 

take action under section 5 allowing 

manufacture or processing to proceed. 

VIII. Development and Submission of 

Information 

EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 

does not require development of any 

particular new information (e.g., 

generating test data) before submission 

of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a 

person is required to submit information 

for a chemical substance pursuant to a 

rule, Order or consent agreement under 

TSCA section 4, then TSCA section 

5(b)(1)(A) requires such information to 

be submitted to EPA at the time of 

submission of the SNUN. 

In the absence of a rule, Order, or 

consent agreement under TSCA section 

4 covering the chemical substance, 

persons are required only to submit 

information in their possession or 

control and to describe any other 

information known to or reasonably 

ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR 

720.50). However, upon review of PMNs 

and SNUNs, the Agency has the 

authority to require appropriate testing. 

Unit IV. of the proposed rule lists 

potentially useful information for all 

SNURs listed here. Descriptions are 

provided for informational purposes. 

The potentially useful information 

identified in Unit IV. of the proposed 

rule will be useful to EPA’s evaluation 

in the event that someone submits a 

SNUN for the significant new use. 

Companies who are considering 

submitting a SNUN are encouraged, but 

not required, to develop the information 

on the substance, which may assist with 

EPA’s analysis of the SNUN. 

EPA strongly encourages persons, 

before performing any testing, to consult 

with the Agency pertaining to protocol 

election. Furthermore, pursuant to 

TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to 

reduction of testing in vertebrate 

animals, EPA encourages consultation 

with the Agency on the use of 

alternative test methods and strategies 

(also called New Approach 

Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, 

to generate the recommended test data. 

EPA encourages dialog with Agency 

representatives to help determine how 

best the submitter can meet both the 

data needs and the objective of TSCA 

section 4(h). For more information on 

alternative test methods and strategies 

to reduce vertebrate animal testing, visit 

https://www.epa.gov/assessing-andmanaging-chemicals-under-tsca/ 

alternative-test-methods-and-strategiesreduce. 

The potentially useful information 

described in Unit IV. of the proposed 

rule may not be the only means of 

providing information to evaluate the 

chemical substance associated with the 

significant new uses. However, 

submitting a SNUN without any test 

data may increase the likelihood that 

EPA will take action under TSCA 

sections 5(e) or 5(f). EPA recommends 

that potential SNUN submitters contact 

EPA early enough so that they will be 

able to conduct the appropriate tests. 

SNUN submitters should be aware 

that EPA will be better able to evaluate 

SNUNs which provide detailed 

information on the following: 

• Human exposure and 

environmental release that may result 

from the significant new use of the 

chemical substances. 

IX. SNUN Submissions 

According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons 

submitting a SNUN must comply with 

the same notification requirements and 

EPA regulatory procedures as persons 

submitting a PMN, including 

submission of test data on health and 

environmental effects as described in 40 

CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted 

on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated 

using e-PMN software, and submitted to 

the Agency in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 

and 721.25. E–PMN software is 

available electronically at https://

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca. 

X. Economic Analysis 

EPA has evaluated the potential costs 

of establishing SNUN requirements for 

potential manufacturers and processors 

of the chemical substances subject to 

this rule. EPA’s complete economic 

analysis is available in the docket for 

this rulemaking.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulations 

and Regulatory Review 

This action establishes SNURs for 

new chemical substances that were the 

subject of PMNs. The Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

exempted these types of actions from 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 

13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

According to PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq., an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that requires OMB approval under PRA, 

unless it has been approved by OMB 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

The information collection 

requirements related to this action have 

already been approved by OMB 

pursuant to PRA under OMB control 

number 2070–0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). 

This action does not impose any burden 

requiring additional OMB approval. If 

an entity were to submit a SNUN to the 

Agency, the annual burden is estimated 

to average between 30 and 170 hours 

per response. This burden estimate 

includes the time needed to review 

instructions, search existing data 

sources, gather and maintain the data 

needed, and complete, review, and 

submit the required SNUN. 

Send any comments about the 

accuracy of the burden estimate, and 

any suggested methods for minimizing 

respondent burden, including through 

the use of automated collection 

techniques, to the Director, Regulatory 

Support Division, Office of Mission 

Support (2822T), Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460–0001. 

Please remember to include the OMB 

control number in any correspondence, 

but do not submit any completed forms 

to this address. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

Pursuant to RFA section 605(b), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., I hereby certify that 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 46127 

promulgation of this SNUR would not 

have a significant adverse economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. The requirement to submit a 

SNUN applies to any person (including 

small or large entities) who intends to 

engage in any activity described in the 

final rule as a ‘‘significant new use.’’ 

Because these uses are ‘‘new,’’ based on 

all information currently available to 

EPA, it appears that no small or large 

entities presently engage in such 

activities. A SNUR requires that any 

person who intends to engage in such 

activity in the future must first notify 

EPA by submitting a SNUN. Although 

some small entities may decide to 

pursue a significant new use in the 

future, EPA cannot presently determine 

how many, if any, there may be. 

However, EPA’s experience to date is 

that, in response to the promulgation of 

SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, 

the Agency receives only a small 

number of notices per year. For 

example, the number of SNUNs 

received was seven in Federal fiscal 

year (FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in 

FY2015, 12 in FY2016, 13 in FY2017, 

and 11 in FY2018. Only a fraction of 

these were from small businesses. In 

addition, the Agency currently offers 

relief to qualifying small businesses by 

reducing the SNUN submission fee from 

$16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee 

reduces the total reporting and 

recordkeeping of cost of submitting a 

SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying 

small firms. Therefore, the potential 

economic impacts of complying with 

this SNUR are not expected to be 

significant or adversely impact a 

substantial number of small entities. In 

a SNUR that published in the Federal 

Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) 

(FRL–5597–1), the Agency presented its 

general determination that final SNURs 

are not expected to have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities, which was 

provided to the Chief Counsel for 

Advocacy of the Small Business 

Administration. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

Based on EPA’s experience with 

proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, 

local, and Tribal governments have not 

been impacted by these rulemakings, 

and EPA does not have any reasons to 

believe that any State, local, or Tribal 

government will be impacted by this 

action. As such, EPA has determined 

that this action does not impose any 

enforceable duty, contain any unfunded 

mandate, or otherwise have any effect 

on small governments subject to the 

requirements of UMRA sections 202, 

203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action will not have federalism 

implications because it is not expected 

to have a substantial direct effect on 

States, on the relationship between the 

National Government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action will not have Tribal 

implications because it is not expected 

to have substantial direct effects on 

Indian Tribes, significantly or uniquely 

affect the communities of Indian Tribal 

governments, and does not involve or 

impose any requirements that affect 

Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do 

not apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997), because this is not an 

economically significant regulatory 

action as defined by Executive Order 

12866, and this action does not address 

environmental health or safety risks 

disproportionately affecting children. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 

2001), because this action is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

In addition, since this action does not 

involve any technical standards, 

NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 

note, does not apply to this action. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

This action does not entail special 

considerations of environmental justice 

related issues as delineated by 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

This action is subject to the CRA, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA will submit 

a rule report containing this rule and 

other required information to each 

House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

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

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new 

use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 

chemical substances that were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). The SNURs require persons 

who intend to manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) or process any 

of these chemical substances for an 

activity that is designated as a 

significant new use by this rule to notify 

EPA at least 90 days before commencing 

that activity. The required notification 

initiates EPA’s evaluation of the use, 

under the conditions of use for that 

chemical substance, within the 

applicable review period. Persons may 

not commence manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

until EPA has conducted a review of the 

notice, made an appropriate 

determination on the notice, and has 

taken such actions as are required by 

that determination. 

DATES: This rule is effective on October 

18, 2021. For purposes of judicial 

review, this rule shall be promulgated at 

1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on September 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you manufacture, process, 

or use the chemical substances 

contained in this rule. The following list 

of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Manufacturers or processors of one 

or more subject chemical substances 

(NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., 

chemical manufacturing and petroleum 

refineries. 

This action may also affect certain 

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 

U.S.C. 2612) import provisions 

promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 

12.127 and 19 CFR 127.28. Chemical 

importers must certify that the shipment 

of the chemical substance complies with 

all applicable rules and Orders under 

TSCA, which would include the SNUR 

requirements. The EPA policy in 

support of import certification appears 

at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In 

addition, any persons who export or 

intend to export a chemical substance 

that is the subject of this rule are subject 

to the export notification provisions of 

TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) 

(see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply 

with the export notification 

requirements in 40 CFR part 707, 

subpart D.
