SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSCA

section 3(c)(3) prohibits the

manufacture, import, processing, and

distribution in commerce of PCBs in

most situations unless EPA grants an

exemption from the prohibition by

rulemaking. 15 U.S.C. 2605(e)(3). On

December 6, 1994, EPA published a

proposed rule addressing 19 petitions

for exemptions from the TSCA section

6(e)(3) prohibition (59 FR 62875). EPA

also announced that it would conduct

an informal hearing upon request. EPA

received a request for a hearing from

S.D. Myers on EPA’s proposed decision

on their four petitions which seek an

exemption from the prohibition on

importing PCBs from Canada for

disposal in the United States. EPA will

hold an informal hearing on its

proposed decision to deny these four

petitions on March 6, 1995. In general,

the procedures that govern rulemaking,

including informal hearings, with

respect to petitions for exemptions from

the TSCA section 6(e)(3) prohibitions

are specified in 40 CFR part 750,

subparts A through C. Subpart B

specifies the procedures that govern

rulemaking for petitions seeking

exemptions to manufacture and import

PCBs. The procedures in that subpart

govern the March 6 informal hearing

and subsequent rulemaking activities

involving the Myers’ petitions. The

following notice summarizes those

procedures. Participants and

commenters are advised to consult 40

CFR part 750, subpart B for greater

detail.

Each person or organization desiring

to participate in the informal hearing

shall file a written request to participate

with the OPPT Document Control

Officer (see ADDRESSES above). The

request shall be received on or before

February 24, 1995 (40 CFR 750.18(a)).

The request shall include: (1) A brief

statement of the interest of the person or

organization in the proceeding; (2) a

brief outline of the points to be

addressed; (3) an estimate of the time

required (not to exceed 15 minutes); and

(4) if the request comes from an

organization, a nonbinding list of the

persons to take part in the presentation.

An organization that has not filed main

comments on the rulemaking will not be

allowed to participate in the hearing,

unless a waiver of this requirement is

granted by the Record and Hearing Clerk

(see ADDRESSES above) or the

organization is appearing at the request

of EPA or under subpoena (40 CFR

750.18(b)). A panel of EPA employees

shall preside at the hearing, and one

panel member will chair the

proceedings. The panel may question

any individual or group participating in

the hearing on any subject relating to

the rulemaking. Cross-examination will

normally not be permitted at this stage.

However, persons in the hearing

audience may submit questions in

writing for the hearing panel to ask the

participants, and the hearing panel may,

at their discretion, ask these questions

(40 CFR 750.19). See 40 CFR 750.19 and

750.7(c) for the rule governing the

submission of additional material by the

hearing participants.

After the close of the hearing, any

participant in the hearing may submit a

written request for cross-examination.

The request shall be received by EPA no

later than 1 week after a full transcript

of the hearing becomes available (to

determine when the transcript is

available, interested persons may

contact the Environmental Assistance

Division (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT above)). See

40 CFR 750.20 and 750.8 for a

description of the information that shall

be included in such a request.

Interested persons may file reply

comments. Reply comments shall be

received on or before March 20, 1995,

and shall be restricted to comments on:

(1) other comments; (2) material in the

hearing record; and (3) material which

was not and could not possibly have

been available to the commenting party

a sufficient time before main comments

were due on February 6, 1995. (40 CFR

750.15). Extensions of time for filing

reply comments may be granted

pursuant to 40 CFR 750.4(c).

Reply comments and a transcript of

the hearing will be placed in the

Nonconfidential Information Center as

part of the rulemaking record for the

proposed rule (docket number OPPTS–

66019A). A full list of these materials is

available for inspection and copying in

the TSCA Nonconfidential Information

Center from 12 noon to 4 p.m. However,

any information claimed as Confidential

Business Information (CBI) that is part

of the record for this rulemaking is not

available for public review. A public

version of the record, from which

information claimed as CBI has been

excluded, is available for inspection.
