Regulatory Analysis 

Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ and Executive 

Order 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation 

and Regulatory Review’’ 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distribute impacts, and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. It has been determined that 

this rule is not a significant regulatory 

action under these Executive orders. 

Congressional Review Act 

This rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

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

Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory 

Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6) 

The Assistant to the Secretary of 

Defense for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency certified that this Privacy 

Act rule does not have significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities because this 

rule is concerned only with the 

administration of Privacy Act systems of 

records within the DoD. 

Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork 

Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not impose additional information 

collection requirements on the public 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Section 202, Public Law 104–4, 

‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’ 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not involve a Federal mandate that 

may result in the expenditure by State, 

local and tribal governments, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector, of 

$100 million or more and that it will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. 

Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism’’ 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not have federalism implications. 

This rule does not have substantial 

direct effects on the 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. 

Executive Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments’’ 

Executive Order 13175 establishes 

certain requirements that an agency 

must meet when it promulgates a rule 

that imposes substantial direct 

compliance costs on one or more Indian 

tribes, preempts tribal law, or affects the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. This rule 

will not have a substantial effect on 

Indian tribal governments.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances (19–4.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 August 

26, 2022. For purposes of judicial 

review, this rule shall be promulgated at 

1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on July 11, 2022.

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. This 

action may also affect certain entities 

through pre-existing import certification 

and export notification rules under 

TSCA, which would include the SNUR 

requirements. The EPA policy in 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
38000 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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–17– 

312, P–17–313, P–17–314, P–17–315, P– 

17–316, P–17–317, P–18–9, P–18–11, P– 

18–170, P–18–185, P–18–190, P–18– 

191, P–18–223, P–18–285, P–18–300, P– 

18–394, P–18–404, P–19–12, P–19–31, 

and P–19–72. 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. EPA is not 

currently finalizing the SNUR for the 

substance which was the subject of 

PMN P–19–71 because the Agency has 

received new data on the substance. 

EPA will review the new data and 

address this proposed SNUR in a future 

notice. 

Previously, in the Federal Register of 

November 4, 2019 (84 FR 59335) (FRL– 

10000–54), EPA proposed SNURs for 

these chemical substances and five 

other SNURs. EPA finalized the 

proposed SNURs for P–16–548, P–17– 

398, P–17–399, P–18–1, and P–18–28 in 

a previous Federal Register notice of 

August 18, 2021 (86 FR 46133) (FRL– 

8000–02–OCSPP). 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. 

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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 38001 

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. Based on these 

comments EPA made a change to the 

SNUR for P–17–312 regarding 

calculation of surface water 

concentrations as described in the 

response to comments document. 

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 proposed to be 

assigned in the regulatory text section. 

This final rule makes the final 

assignment to set the CFR citation for 

the chemical substance. 

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 

unlikely that any of the significant new 

uses described in the regulatory text of 

this rule are ongoing. 

EPA designated November 4, 2019 

(the date of publication of the proposed 

rule in the Federal Register) 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 TSCA section 5 

allowing manufacture or processing to 

proceed.

38002 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 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. 

XI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive orders can be 

found at https://www.epa.gov/lawsregulations-and-executive-orders. 

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

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.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

Pursuant to RFA section 605(b), 5 

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

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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 38003 

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 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 as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999), 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. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action will not have Tribal 

implications as specified under 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because it is not 

expected to have substantial direct 

effects on Indian Tribes or significantly 

or uniquely affect the communities of 

Indian Tribal governments, and does not 

involve or impose any requirements that 

affect Indian Tribes. 

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) 

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

note, does not apply to this action 

because this action does not involve any 

technical standards. 

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) 

Pursuant to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 et 

seq., 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).

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; 2022 

Closure for Spiny Lobster in the U.S. 

Exclusive Economic Zone Around 

Puerto Rico 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements an 

accountability measure (AM) for spiny 

lobster in the U.S. exclusive economic 

zone (EEZ) around Puerto Rico. NMFS 

has determined that the annual catch 

limit (ACL) for spiny lobster in Puerto 

Rico was exceeded based on average 

landings during the 2017 through 2019 

fishing years. Therefore, NMFS reduces 

the length of the 2022 fishing season for 

spiny lobster in the EEZ around Puerto 

Rico by the amount necessary to ensure 

that landings do not exceed the ACL in 

2022. This AM is necessary to protect 

the spiny lobster resource in the EEZ 

around Puerto Rico. 

DATES: This temporary rule is effective 

from 12:01 a.m., local time, on July 12, 

2022, through September 30, 2022.

Sarah Stephenson, NMFS Southeast 

Regional Office, telephone: 727–824–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The spiny 

lobster fishery of the U.S. Caribbean 

EEZ is managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for Spiny Lobster of 

Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands 

(USVI) (Spiny Lobster FMP). The Spiny 

Lobster FMP was prepared by the 

Caribbean Fishery Management Council 

(Council) and is implemented by NMFS 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. 

On June 26, 2020, NMFS published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

availability for three island-based FMPs 

and requested public comment (85 FR 

38350). On September 22, 2020, the 

Secretary of Commerce approved the 

island-based FMPs under section 

304(a)(3) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

The island-based FMPs replace the four 

U.S. Caribbean-wide FMPs—Reef Fish, 

Spiny Lobster, Queen Conch, Corals and 

Reef Associated Plants and 

Invertebrates. The proposed regulations 

to implement management measures for 

the island-based FMPs published on 

May 19, 2022, and the public comment 

period is open through June 21, 2022 

(87 FR 30730). Therefore, the proposed 

regulations for the island-based FMPs 

are not yet effective and this temporary 

rule implements the AM based on the 

Spiny Lobster FMP under the current 

regulations at 50 CFR 622.12(a)(3). 

The final rule implementing the 2011 

Caribbean ACL Amendment, which 

included Amendment 5 to the Spiny 

Lobster FMP, among others, established 

an ACL and AM for spiny lobster in 

each island management area in the U.S. 

Caribbean (76 FR 82414, December 30, 

2011). The ACL for spiny lobster in the 

EEZ around Puerto Rico is 327,920 lb 

(148,742 kg), round weight. In 

accordance with regulations at 50 CFR 

622.12(a)(3), if NMFS estimates that 

landings have exceeded the spiny 

lobster ACL, based on an evaluation of 

a moving multi-year average of landings, 

NMFS will reduce the length of the 

fishing season for spiny lobster by the 

amount necessary to ensure landings do 

not exceed the ACL. If NMFS 

determines the ACL was exceeded 

because of enhanced data collection and 

monitoring efforts instead of an increase 

in total catch, NMFS will not reduce the 

length of the fishing season. 

Puerto Rico commercial landings of 

spiny lobster for the 2020 and 2021 

fishing years are still preliminary and 

not yet available for management use, 

and therefore, the 3-year average of
