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

review a TSCA section 5(a) notice and 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Notices 46241 

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. 

Unreasonable risk 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) 

In this unit, EPA provides the 

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, 

EPA has made findings under TSCA 

section 5(a)(3)(C) that the new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment: 

• EPA case number assigned to the 

TSCA section 5(a) notice. 

• Chemical identity (generic name if 

the specific name is claimed as CBI).

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The authority for the 

emergency planning and emergency 

release notification requirements is 

sections 302, 303, and 304 of the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (42 

U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004). 

EPCRA established broad emergency 

planning and facility reporting 

requirements. Section 302 requires 

facilities to notify their State Emergency 

Response Commission (SERC) or Tribal 

Emergency Response Commission 

(TERC), Local Emergency Planning 

Committee (LEPC) or Tribal Emergency 

Planning Committee (TEPC) with 

jurisdiction over their facility, of the 

presence of a threshold planning 

quantity of a listed extremely hazardous 

substance (EHS) at the facility. This 

activity was completed by existing 

facilities soon after the law was passed. 

Only new facilities that may become 

subject to these requirements must 

notify the SERC (or TERC) and the LEPC 

(or TEPC). Currently covered facilities 

are required to notify the LEPC (or 

TEPC) of any changes that occur at the 

facility which would be relevant to 

emergency planning. Section 303 

requires the LEPC (or TEPC) to prepare 

local emergency response plans for their 

planning district using the information 

provided by facilities under Section 

302. An LEPC (or TEPC) may request 

any information from facilities 

necessary to develop emergency 

response plans. Initial emergency 

response plans were developed within a 

few months after the law was passed. 

LEPCs (or TEPCs) are required to review 

and update the plan at least annually or 

more frequently as changes occur in the 

community. Section 304 requires 

facilities to report to SERCs (or TERCs) 

and LEPCs (or TEPCs) releases in excess 

of the reportable quantities listed for 

each EHS. This ICR also covers the 

notification and the written follow-up 

required under Section 304. The 

implementing regulations are codified 

in 40 CFR part 355. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those which have a threshold planning 

quantity of an EHS listed in 40 CFR part 

355, Appendix A and those which have 

a release of any of the EHSs above a 

reportable quantity. Entities more likely 

to be affected by this action may include 

chemical manufacturers, retailers, 

petroleum refineries, utilities, etc. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (Sections 302, 303 and 304 

of EPCRA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

108,556. This figure includes 3,556 

LEPCs (or TEPCs) and SERCs (or TERCs) 

and will be updated, as needed, during 

the 60-day OMB review period. 

Frequency of response: EPCRA 

section 302 reporting is a one-time
