Rules
and
Regulations
SUMMARY:
Because
EPA
received
adverse
comment,
we
are
withdrawing
certain
portions
of
the
direct
final
rule
for
the
Effluent
Limitations
Guidelines,
Pretreatment
Standards,
and
New
Source
Performance
Standards
for
the
Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing
Point
Source
Category.
The
direct
final
rule
published
on
March
13,
2003
(
68
FR
12265)
made
three
amendments
to
the
final
regulations
published
on
September
21,
1998
(
63
FR
50424)
and
non­
substantive
editorial
and
format
changes.
We
stated
in
the
direct
final
rule
that
if
we
received
adverse
comment
by
May
12,
2003,
we
would
publish
a
timely
notice
of
withdrawal
in
the
Federal
Register.
We
subsequently
received
adverse
comment
on
the
direct
final
rule.
We
will
address
that
comment
in
a
subsequent
final
action
based
on
the
parallel
proposal
also
published
on
March
13,
2003
(
68
FR
12276).
As
stated
in
the
parallel
proposal,
we
will
not
institute
a
second
comment
period
on
this
action.
DATES:
As
of
June
11,
2003,
EPA
withdraws
amendments
to
§
§
439.17

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
EPA
published
a
direct
final
rule
(
68
FR
12265)
and
parallel
proposed
rule
(
68
FR
12276)
on
March
13,
2003,
to
make
minor
amendments
to
the
final
rule
establishing
effluent
guidelines
and
standards
for
the
Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing
Point
Source
Category
(
40
CFR
part
439)
published
on
September
21,
1998.
In
this
direct
final
rule,
EPA
clarified
the
date
on
which
a
discharger
subject
to
the
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
and
the
Pretreatment
Standards
for
New
Sources
(
PSNS)
would
be
subject
to
effluent
limitations
and
pretreatment
standards
established
in
the
1998
regulation.
In
addition,
EPA
re­
established
a
minimum
concentration
for
the
monthly
average
BOD5
limitation
that
EPA
inadvertently
omitted
from
the
Best
Practicable
Control
Technology
(
BPT)
requirements
in
two
subcategories
of
the
1998
regulation
and
corrected
an
error
in
EPA's
pass­
through
analysis
from
the
1998
rule
by
deleting
methyl
Cellosolve
(
2­
methoxyethanol)
from
the
pretreatment
standards
in
two
subcategories
and
from
Appendix
A,
Table
2,
``
Surrogate
Parameters
for
Indirect
Dischargers.''
Finally,
the
Agency
made
other
non­
substantive
editorial
and
format
changes
such
as
removing
redundancies,
and
adding
definitions.
The
partial
withdrawal
of
the
direct
final
rule
involves
withdrawing
language
in
(
a)
and
(
b)
from
§
§
439.17,
439.27,
439.37,
and
439.47
of
the
direct
final
rule
regarding
the
compliance
schedule
for
new
source
dischargers
who
commenced
operations
after
November
21,
1988
and
prior
to
November
20,
1998.
Today's
action
also
revises
the
introductory
text
and
paragraph
(
a)
in
§
§
439.17
and
439.37
to
be
consistent
with
the
remaining
amendments
of
the
direct
final
rule.
EPA
has
received
comment
concerning
the
applicability
of
the
10­
year
protection
period
provided
in
section
306(
d)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
for
new
source
facilities.
EPA
will
address
those
comments
in
a
subsequent
final
action
based
on
the
parallel
proposal.
The
provisions
for
which
we
did
not
receive
adverse
comment
will
become
effective
on
June
11,
2003,
as
provided
in
the
preamble
to
the
direct
final
rule.

outside
of
any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and
in
any

II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

EPA
is
issuing
a
final
TSCA
section
8(
a)
PAIR
rule
which
will
require
manufacturers
(
including
importers)
of
47
CAS­
numbered
chemicals
added
to
the
ITC's
TSCA
section
4(
e)
Priority
Testing
List
to
submit
production
and
exposure
reports.
The
regulatory
text
of
this
rule
lists
the
47
chemicals
that
are
being
added
to
the
PAIR
rule.

B.
What
is
the
Agency's
Authority?

EPA
promulgated
the
PAIR
rule
in
40
CFR
part
712
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)
(
15
U.
S.
C.
2607(
a)).
This
model
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
establishes
standard
reporting
requirements
for
manufacturers
(
including
importers)
of
the
chemicals
listed
in
the
rule
at
§
712.30.
These
entities
are
required
to
submit
a
one­
time
report
on
general
production/
importation
volume,
end
use,
and
exposure­
related
information
using
the
PAIR
Form
entitled
Manufacturer's
Report­
Preliminary
Assessment
Information
(
EPA
Form
No.
7710
 
35).
EPA
uses
this
model
section
8(
a)
rule
to
quickly
gather
current
information
on
chemicals.
This
model
rule
provides
for
the
automatic
addition
of
TSCA
section
4(
e)
Priority
Testing
List
chemicals.
Whenever
EPA
announces
the
receipt
of
an
ITC
report,
EPA
may,
at
the
same
time
without
providing
notice
and
opportunity
for
public
comment,
amend
the
model
information­
gathering
rule
by
adding
the
recommended
(
or
designated)
chemicals.
The
amendment
adding
these
chemicals
to
the
PAIR
rule
is
effective
July
11,
2003.

C.
What
Chemicals
are
to
be
Added
?

In
this
document,
EPA
is
adding
47
chemicals
to
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
PAIR
rule.
This
document
addresses

Substances
Removed
From
the
PAIR
Rule?
Any
person
who
believes
that

G.
Why
is
this
Action
Being
Issued
as
a
Final
Rule?

EPA
is
publishing
this
action
as
a
final
rule
without
prior
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
comment
because
the
Agency
believes
that
providing
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
comment
is
unnecessary.
As
discussed
in
Unit
III.,
whenever
EPA
announces
the
receipt
of
an
ITC
report,
EPA
may,
at
the
same
time
and
without
providing
notice
and
opportunity
for
public
comment,
amend
the
model
information­
gathering
rule
by
adding
the
recommended
(
or
designated)
chemicals.
EPA
finds,
therefore,
that
there
is
``
good
cause''
under
section
553(
b)(
3)(
B)
of
the
Administrative
Procedure
Act
(
APA)
(
5
U.
S.
C.

(

to
make
these
amendments
without
prior
notice
and
comment.

H.
Economic
Analysis
The
economic
analysis
for
the
addition
of
the
47
chemicals
to
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
PAIR
rule
is
entitled,
``
Economic
Analysis
for
the
Addition
of
47
Chemical
Abstract
Service
(
CAS)­
numbered
Chemicals
Requested
to
be
added
to
EPA's
Preliminary
Assessment
Information
Reporting
(
PAIR)
Rule
in
the
48th,
50th,
and
51st
Reports
of
the
TSCA
Interagency
Testing
Committee''
(
Ref.
4).
Seven
of
the
47
chemicals
were
located
in
EPA's
1998
Chemical
Update
System
(
CUS)
utilizing
the
ITC­
supplied
CAS
numbers,
yielding
6
companies
producing
these
chemicals
at
7
sites.
Because
the
threshold
for
reporting
to
CUS
under
the
Inventory
Update
Rule
is
10,000
lbs.,
and
the
threshold
for
PAIR
reporting
is
500
kg
(
1,100
lbs.),
and
because
there
is
no
requirement
that
inorganic
chemicals
be
reported
to
CUS
(
the
majority
of
the
vanadium
compounds
are
inorganic),
EPA
assumed
that
one
manufacturer
exists
per
chemical
to
account
for
the
possibility
that
there
may
be
manufacturers
producing
PAIRreportable
amounts
that
weren't
captured
by
CUS.
But
EPA
has
no
way
of
ascertaining
this,
a
fact
which
highlights
the
need
for
PAIR
reporting
on
these
chemicals.
Given
the
assumptions
in
this
unit,
the
costs
and
burden
associated
with
this
rule
are
estimated
in
the
Economic
Analysis
(
Ref.
4)
to
be
the
following:

A.
Executive
Order
12866:
Regulatory
Planning
and
Review
The
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
has
exempted
actions
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)
related
to
the
PAIR
rule
from
the
requirements
of
Executive
Order
12866,
entitled
Regulatory
Planning
and
Review
(

October

Paperwork
Reduction
Act
Pursuant
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(
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
is
subject
to
approval
under
the
PRA
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's

of

Rules
and
Regulations
included
on
the
related
collection
instrument.
The
information
collection
activities
related
to
this
action
have
already
been
approved
by
OMB,
under
OMB
control
number
2070
 
0054
(
EPA
ICR
No.
586)
for
PAIR
reporting.
This
action
does
not
impose
any
burdens
requiring
additional
OMB
approval.
The
public
reporting
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
be
1330.3
hours
(
Ref.
4).
Of
that
total,
an
estimated
329
hours
are
spent
in
an
initial
review
of
the
rule,
and
the
remaining
1001.3
hours
are
associated
with
actual
reporting
activities
(
Ref.
4).
Because
this
rule
does
not
contain
any
new
information
collection
activities,
additional
review
and
approval
of
these
activities
by
OMB
under
the
PRA
is
not
necessary.

C.
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
Under
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(
RFA)
and
the
Small
Business
Enforcement
Fairness
Act
(
SBREFA),
EPA
is
required
to
consider
whether
a
regulatory
action
will
have
a
significant
adverse
impact
on
small
entities.
Both
the
RFA
and
SBREFA
require
EPA
to
determine
whether
a
rulemaking
may
result
in
``
significant
economic
impact
on
requirements
of
the
rule
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities,''
and
if
so,
to
tailor
the
requirements
of
the
rule
to
mitigate
such
impacts,
while
still
maintaining
a
high
level
of
environmental
protection.
The
small
business
size
standards
promulgated
by
the
Small
Business
Administration
(
SBA)
(
61
FR
3280,
3289
 
3291,
January
31,
1996)
for
chemical
manufacturers
are
based
solely
on
the
number
of
employees,
with
a
base
threshold
of
1,000
employees
for
the
ultimate
corporate
parent,
under
which
all
businesses
are
considered
small.
Of
the
47
businesses
assumed
to
be
affected
by
this
rule,
none
meet
this
definition
of
small
business.
Thus,
EPA
has
determined
that
this
rule
will
not
impose
a
significant
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities.
Information
relating
to
this
EPA
determination
is
included
in
the
docket
for
this
rule
(
OPPT
 
2002
 
0061).
Any
comments
regarding
the
economic
impacts
that
this
action
imposes
on
small
entities
should
be
submitted
to
the
Agency
at
any
time
after
June
11,
2003
using
the
methods
discussed
in
Unit

Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
Pursuant
to
Title
II
of
the
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
of
1995
(
UMRA),
Public
Law
104
 
4,
EPA
has
determined
that
this
rule
does
not
contain
a
Federal
mandate
that
may
result
in
expenditures
of
$
100
million
or
more
for
State,
local,
and
tribal
governments,
in
the
aggregate,
or
the
private
sector
in
any
one
year.
In
addition,
EPA
has
determined
that
this
rule
will
not
significantly
or
uniquely
affect
small
governments.
Accordingly,
the
rule
is
not
subject
to
the
requirements
of
UMRA
sections
202,
203,
204,
or
205.

E.
Executive
Order
13132:
Federalism
This
action
will
not
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,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13132,
entitled
Federalism
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999).

F.
Executive
Order
13175:
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments
Based
on
EPA's
experience
with
past
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rulemakings,
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
rulemaking.
As
a
result,
this
action
is
not
subject
to
the
requirement
for
prior
consultation
with
Indian
tribal
governments
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13175,
entitled
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments
(
65
FR
67249,
November

G.
Executive
Order
13045:
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks
Executive
Order
13045,
entitled
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks
(
52
FR
19855,
April
23,
1997),
does
not
apply
to
this
rule,
because
it
is
not
``
economically
significant''
as
defined
under
Executive
Order
12866,
and
does
not
concern
an
environmental
health
or
safety
risk
that
may
have
a
disproportionate
effect
on
children.
This
rule
requires
the
reporting
of
production,
importation,
use,
and
exposure­
related
information
to
EPA
by
manufacturers
(
including
importers)
of
certain
chemicals
requested
by
the
ITC
to
be
added
to
the
PAIR
rule
in
its
48th
ITC
Report
(
Ref.

in
its
50th

Report
(

H.
Executive
Order

Actions
that
Significantly
Affect

This
rule
is
not
subject
to
Executive
Order
13211,
entitled
Actions
that
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,
Distribution,
or
Use
(
66
FR
28355,
May
22,
2001),
because
this
action
is
not
expected
to
affect
energy
supply,
distribution,
or
use.

I.
National
Technology
Transfer
and
Advancement
Act
This
action
does
not
involve
any
technical
standards
that
would
require
Agency
consideration
of
voluntary
consensus
standards
pursuant
to
section
12(
d)
of
the
National
Technology
Transfer
and
Advancement
Act
of
1995
(
NTTAA),
Public
Law
104
 
113,
section
12(
d)
(
15
U.
S.
C.
272
note).
Section
12(
d)
of
NTTAA
directs
EPA
to
use
voluntary
consensus
standards
in
its
regulatory
activities
unless
to
do
so
would
be
inconsistent
with
applicable
law
or
otherwise
impractical.
Voluntary
consensus
standards
are
technical
standards
(
e.
g.,
materials
specifications,
test
methods,
sampling
procedures,
and
business
practices)
that
are
developed
or
adopted
by
voluntary
consensus
standards
bodies.
The
NTTAA
directs
EPA
to
provide
Congress,
through
OMB,
explanations
when
the
Agency
decides
not
to
use
available
and
applicable
voluntary
consensus
standards.
EPA
invites
public
comment
on
the
Agency's
determination
that
this
regulatory
action
does
not
require
the
consideration
of
voluntary
consensus
standards.

AGENCY:
National

(
NHTSA);
Department
of
Transportation.
ACTION:
Correcting
amendment.

SUMMARY:
This
rule
corrects
errors
in
Figures
6a,
6b,
7,
8,
and
9
of
Federal
Motor
Vehicle
Safety
Standard
No.
208,
Occupant
crash
protection
(
FMVSS
No.
208).
These
figures
were
added
to
the
standard
in
two
separate
and
unrelated
rulemakings.
They
provide
instructions
regarding
format
that
are
inconsistent
with
the
requirements
in
the
regulatory
text
of
the
standard.
This
document
resolves
the
problem
by
removing
the
inconsistent
instructions
from
the
figures.

DATES:
This
final
rule
is
effective
June
11,
2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
On
March
19,
2001,
NHTSA
provided
Mr.
Todd
Mitchell
of
ITW
Meyercord
with
a
letter
of
legal
interpretation
stating
that
three
of
four
warning
labels
specified
in
FMVSS
No.
208
were
required
to
be
outlined
with
black
horizontal
and
vertical
lines.
This
interpretation
was
based
on
the
figures
in
the
standard
for
those
labels.
The
figures
depict
labels
with
an
outline
and
contain
an
instruction
specifying
the
color
of
the
outline
(``
Label
Outline,
Vertical
and
Horizontal
Line
Black'').
Based
on
the
depiction
of
an
outline
and
on
the
specification
of
a
color
for
the
outline,
the
agency
concluded
that
an
outline
is
required.
NHTSA
determined
that
the
fourth
label
is
not
required
to
have
an
outline
because
the
instructions
in
the
figure
for
that
label
do
not
include
a
color
specification
explicitly
referring
to
an
``
outline.''
1
On
May
2,
2001,
the
Alliance
of
Automobile
Manufacturers
submitted
a
letter
to
NHTSA
asking
the
agency
to
reconsider
the
interpretation.
It
argued
that
the
regulatory
text
of
the
standard
neither
requires
conformity
with
the
format
of
the
label
shown
in
the
figures
