reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not concern an 

environmental health risk or safety risk. 

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 it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866, nor does it affect energy supply, 

distribution or use. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This action does not involve any

Low-Income Populations 

This action does not involve special 

consideration of environmental justice 

related issues as specified in Executive 

Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16,

Dated: August 4, 2017. 

Louise P. Wise,

Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. 

Therefore, the EPA proposes to amend 

40 CFR part 158 as follows: 

PART 158—[AMENDED] 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 158 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136–136y; subpart U 

is also issued under 31 U.S.C. 9701. 

■ 2. In § 158.2230, revise paragraph (d) 

to read as follows: 

§ 158.2230 Antimicrobial toxicology. 

* * * * * 

(d) 200 parts per billion (ppb). The 

200 ppb level was originally used by the 

Food and Drug Administration with 

respect to the concentration of residues 

in or on food for tiering of data 

requirements for indirect food use 

biocides. The Agency has also adopted 

this same residue level for determining 

toxicology data requirements for 

indirect food uses of antimicrobial 

pesticides. The 200 ppb level is the 

concentration of antimicrobial residues 

in the total estimated daily dietary 

intake.

byproduct chemical substances when 

such byproduct chemical substances are

reprocessed. The purpose of the 

Committee is to conduct discussions in 

a good faith attempt to reach consensus 

on proposed regulatory language. This 

negotiation process is required by the

II. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

As required by the Negotiated 

Rulemaking Act of 1996 (NRA), EPA is 

giving notice that the agency is holding 

two additional meetings of the 

Negotiated Rulemaking Committee. The 

objective of this Committee is to 

develop a proposed rule providing for 

limiting chemical data reporting 

requirements, under TSCA section 8(a), 

for manufacturers of any inorganic 

byproduct chemical substances when 

such byproduct chemical substances are 

subsequently recycled, reused, or 

reprocessed. This negotiation process, 

which includes the establishment of a 

federal advisory committee, is required 

by TSCA section 8(a)(6), as amended by 

the Frank. R. Lautenberg Chemical 

Safety for the 21st Century Act 

(Lautenberg Act). 

This Committee is a statutory 

advisory committee under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 

2 § 9(a)(1). In accordance with Section 

9(c) of the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act, 5 U.S.C. App. I § 9(c), EPA 

prepared a charter for the establishment 

of the Negotiated Rulemaking 

Committee. Copies of the Committee’s 

charter have been filed with the 

appropriate congressional committees, 

the Library of Congress. The first two 

meetings of the Committee were on June 

8 and 9, 2017, and August 16 and 17, 

2017 (82 FR 25790) (FRL–9961–92). The 

Committee’s charter and those meetings’ 

agendas and materials are available in 

the docket supporting this activity 

[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2016–0597] and 

available online at https://www.epa.gov/ 

chemical-data-reporting/negotiatedrulemaking-committee-chemical-datareporting-requirements. 

This notice announces the details of 

the third and fourth meetings of the 

Committee. These meetings have been 

scheduled for the dates indicated under 

DATES, and are open to the public. A 

notice of any Committee meeting must 

be published no later than 15 days 

before the date of that meeting. Delay in 

having these meetings will result in 

challenges in meeting the statutory 

deadline for the negotiated rulemaking. 

III. Participation by Non-Members

process. The meetings announced in 

this notice are open to the public, so
