19254 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 1995 / Notices

defined in 258.1(f) until October 9,

1996.

Today’s action takes effect on April

19, 1995. EPA believes it has good cause

under section 553(d) of the

Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C.

553(d), to put this action into effect less

than thirty days after publication in the

Federal Register. All of the

requirements and obligations in the

State’s/Tribe’s program are already in

effect as a matter of State/Tribal law.

EPA’s action today does not impose any

new requirements that the regulated

community must begin to comply with.

Nor do these requirements become

enforceable by EPA as Federal law.

Consequently, EPA finds that it does not

need to give notice prior to making its

approval effective.

Compliance With Executive Order

12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this notice from the

requirements of Section 6 of Executive

Order 12866.

Certification Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

605(b), I hereby certify that this

tentative approval will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities. It

does not impose any new burdens on

small entities. This proposed notice,

therefore, does not require a regulatory

flexibility analysis.

Authority: This notice is issued under the

authority of sections 2002, 4005, and 4010 of

the Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended; 42

U.S.C. 6912, 6945, and 6949(a).

Dated: April 4, 1995.

Marketing Exemptions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s

approval of applications for test

marketing exemptions (TMEs) under

section 5(h)(1) of the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA) and 40 CFR 720.38.

EPA has designated these applications

as TMEs–95–1 and 95–2. The test

marketing conditions are described

below.

EFFECTIVE DATES: April 5, 1995. Written

comments will be received until May 2,

1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shirley D. Howard, New Chemicals

Branch, Chemical Control Division

and Toxics, Environmental Protection

Agency, Rm. E–447H, 401 M St. SW.,

Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260–3780.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes EPA to

exempt persons from premanufacture

notification (PMN) requirements and

permit them to manufacture or import

new chemical substances for test

marketing purposes if the Agency finds

that the manufacture, processing,

distribution in commerce, use, and

disposal of the substances for test

marketing purposes will not present an

unreasonable risk of injury to human

health or the environment. EPA may

impose restrictions on test marketing

activities and may modify or revoke a

test marketing exemption upon receipt

of new information which casts

significant doubt on its finding that the

test marketing activity will not present

an unreasonable risk of injury.

EPA hereby approves TMEs–95–1 and

95–2. EPA has determined that test

marketing of the new chemical

substances described below, under the

conditions set out in the TME

applications, and for the time period

and restrictions specified below, will

not present an unreasonable risk of

injury to human health or the

environment. Production volume, use,

and the number of customers must not

exceed that specified in the

applications. All other conditions and

restrictions described in these

applications and in this notice must be

met.

Inadvertently the notice of receipt of

these applications was not published.

Therefore, an opportunity to submit

comments is being offered at this time.

The complete nonconfidential
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 73 / Monday, April 17, 1995 / Notices 19255

document is available in the TSCA

nonconfidential information center

(NCIC), Rm. ETG–102 at the above

address between 12:00 noon and 4:00

p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding

legal holidays. EPA may modify or

revoke the test marketing exemption if

comments are received which cast

significant doubt on its finding that the

test marketing activities will not present

an unreasonable risk of injury.

The following additional restrictions

apply to TMEs–95–1 and 95–2. A bill of

lading accompanying each shipment

must state that the use of the substances

is restricted to that approved in the

TMEs. In addition, the applicants shall

maintain the following records until five

years after the date they are created, and

shall make them available for inspection

or copying in accordance with section

11 of TSCA:

1. Records of the quantity of the

TME substance produced and the date

of manufacture.

2. Records of dates of the shipments

to each customer and the quantities

supplied in each shipment.

3. Copies of the bill of lading that

accompanies each shipment of the TME

substance.

TME–95–1

Date of Receipt: March 22, 1995. The

extended comment period will close

May 2, 1995.

Applicant: Confidential.

Chemical: (G) N,N′,N′′-

Triphenylmelamine derivative.

Use: (G) UV Absorber.

Production Volume: Confidential.

Number of Customers: Fifteen.

Test Marketing Period: Three years,

commencing on first day of commercial

manufacture.

Risk Assessment: EPA identified no

significant human health concerns for

the test market substance. The TME

substance is not expected to be toxic to

aquatic organisms at maximum

saturation in water. Therefore, the test

market activities will not present any

unreasonable risk of injury to human

health or the environment.

TME–95–2

Date of Receipt: March 23, 1995. The

extended comment period will close

(insert date 15 days after date of

publication in the Federal Register).

Applicant: Lubricant Additive

Research Co.

Chemical: (G) Synthetic Silver

Complex.

Use: (G) Lubricant Additive.

Production Volume: Confidential.

Number of Customers: Confidential.

Test Marketing Period: One year,

commencing on first day of commercial

manufacture.

Risk Assessment: EPA identified no

significant human health concerns for

the test market substance. Based on

Structure Activity Relationship (SAR)

analysis from data on similar

substances, EPA estimates that the TME

substance could be toxic to aquatic

organisms at a concentration of 1.0 parts

per billion. However, the TME

substance is not expected to be released

to surface waters during the

manufacturing, processing and use

scenarios described in the TME

application. Therefore, the test market

activities will not present any

unreasonable risk of injury to human

health or the environment.

The Agency reserves the right to

rescind approval or modify the

conditions and restrictions of an

exemption should any new information

that comes to its attention cast

significant doubt on its finding that the

test marketing activities will not present

any unreasonable risk of injury to

human health or the environment.

Proposed 708 Relief Plan and 630

Numbering Plan Area Code by

Ameritech—Illinois

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Declaratory ruling and order.

SUMMARY: This Declaratory Ruling and

Order (Order) responds to a Request for

Declaratory Ruling and Order (Petition)

filed with the Federal Communications

Commission (Commission) on August 4,

1994, jointly by Mobilemedia

Communications, Inc., Paging Network,

Inc., and Page Mart, Inc. (Petitioners).

Petitioners objected to a plan developed

by Ameritech-Illinois (Ameritech) to

relieve an anticipated telephone number

shortage in the part of Illinois covered

by numbering plan area 708. Petitioners

contended portions of the Ameritech

plan violate the Communications Act

and industry guidelines. In the Order,

the Commission found the Ameritech

plan was unreasonably discriminatory

and otherwise unjust and unreasonable

in violation of the Communications Act.

In the Order, the Commission

declared the importance of

modernization of telecommunications

infrastructure, the introduction of new

technologies, the promotion of

competition, and the encouragement of

new interstate and international services

to meeting its goals under the

Communications Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 23, 1995.

Synopsis of Declaratory Order

1. Background

As the largest local exchange carrier

in northern Illinois, Ameritech serves as

the administrator of numbering plan

area (NPA) 312 (serving Chicago) and

NPA 708 (which covers an adjacent

suburban area). NPAs are more

popularly known as ‘‘area codes.’’ In

early 1994, Ameritech announced that

the supply of central office codes within

NPA 708 was nearing exhaustion and

later presented its plan for relief of the

anticipated shortage. Central office (CO)

codes are the three-digit numbers that

follow the NPA and precede the fourdigit line number. Accordingly, each CO

code represents about 10,000 telephone

line numbers.

The Ameritech plan included the

following elements: Ameritech would

cease providing CO codes in NPA 708

to cellular and paging carriers and such

wireless carriers would be required to

‘‘give back’’ to Ameritech NPA 708 CO
