A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal Register of June 5, 2015 (80 FR 32003) (FRL-9927-67). If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
In the June 5, 2015 Federal Register, EPA issued a direct final SNUR for the chemical substance that is identified in this final rule. This direct final SNUR was issued pursuant to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, subpart D. EPA is removing the direct final SNUR issued for the chemical substance identified generically as substituted cyclosiloxane, which was the subject of PMN P-14-605.
This direct final rule was issued pursuant to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, subpart D. Section 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B) provides that EPA will withdraw the relevant portion of such a direct final rule if within 30 days of publication the Agency receives a notice of intent to submit adverse comments on the SNUR. EPA received a notice of intent to submit adverse comments on the SNUR, but mistakenly did not withdraw the direct final rule as required by § 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B). The Start Printed Page 53001Agency is therefore removing the rule issued for the chemical substance that was the subject of PMN P-14-605. EPA intends to publish a proposed SNUR for this chemical substance under separate notice and comment procedures.
For further information regarding EPA's direct rulemaking process for issuing SNURs, see 40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 31314).
EPA determined that there is good cause to first; promulgate this final rule without opportunity for notice and comment in accordance with section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and second; make the rule effective on the date of publication in accordance with section 553(d) of the APA. Good cause exists because the direct final rule was allowed to become effective in violation of § 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B).
This action removes regulatory requirements that were not intended to go into effect. As such, the Agency has determined that this removal will not have any adverse impacts, economic or otherwise. The statutory and Executive Order review requirements applicable to this action were discussed in the June 5, 2015 Federal Register. Those review requirements do not apply to this action because it is a removal and does not contain any new or amended requirements.
