ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 721
[OPPTS-50615; FRL-4746-6]
RIN 2070-AB27
Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs) and subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued by EPA.
Today's action requires persons who intend to manufacture, import, or
process these substances for a significant new use to notify EPA at
least 90 days before commencing the manufacturing or processing of the
substance for a use designated by this SNUR as a significant new use.
The required notice will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate
the intended use, and if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity
before it occurs. EPA is promulgating this SNUR using direct final
procedures.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is July 26, 1994. This rule
shall be promulgated for purposes of judicial review at 1 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on June 10, 1994. If EPA receives notice before June 27,
1994 that someone wishes to submit adverse or critical comments on
EPA's action in establishing a SNUR for one or more of the chemical
substances subject to this rule, EPA will withdraw the SNUR for the
substance for which the notice of intent to comment is received and
will issue a proposed SNUR providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
ADDRESSES: Each comment or notice of intent to submit adverse or
critical comment must bear the docket control number OPPTS-50615 and
the name(s) of the chemical substance(s) subject to the comment. All
comments should be sent in triplicate to: U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, ATTN: OPPT Document Receipt Office (7407), 401 M St., SW., Rm.
E-G099,Washington, DC 20460. All comments which are claimed
confidential must be clearly marked as such. Three additional sanitized
copies of any comments containing confidential business information
(CBI) must also be submitted. Nonconfidential versions of comments on
this rule will be placed in the rulemaking record and will be available
for public inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SNUR will require persons to notify EPA
at least 90 days before commencing manufacturing or processing a
substance for any activity designated by this SNUR as a significant new
use. The supporting rationale and background to this rule are more
fully set out in the preamble to EPA's first direct final SNURs
published in the Federal Register of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376).
Consult that preamble for further information on the objectives,
rationale, and procedures for the rules and on the basis for
significant new use designations including provisions for developing
test data.
I. Authority
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all
relevant factors, including those listed in section 5(a)(2). Once EPA
determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use,
section 5(a)(1)(B) of TSCA requires persons to submit a notice to EPA
at least 90 days before they manufacture, import, or process the
substance for that use. The mechanism for reporting under this
requirement is established under 40 CFR 721.10.
II. Applicability of General Provisions
General provisions for SNURs appear under subpart A of 40 CFR part
721. These provisions describe persons subject to the rule,
recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and
applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date
of the final rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR
part 700. Persons subject to this SNUR must comply with the same notice
requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs under
section 5(a)(1)(A) of TSCA. In particular, these requirements include
the information submission requirements of section 5(b) and 5(d)(1),
the exemptions authorized by section 5(h)(1), (2), (3), and (5), and
the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUR notice,
EPA may take regulatory action under section 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to
control the activities on which it has received the SNUR notice. If EPA
does not take action, EPA is required under section 5(g) to explain in
the Federal Register its reasons for not taking action.
Persons who intend to export a substance identified in a proposed
or final SNUR are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA
section 12(b). The regulations that interpret section 12(b) appear at
40 CFR part 707. Persons who intend to import a chemical substance
identified in a final SNUR are subject to the TSCA section 13 import
certification requirements, which are codified at 19 CFR 12.118 through
12.127 and 127.28. Such persons must certify that they are in
compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support of the
import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707.
III. Substances Subject to This Rule
EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping
requirements for the following chemical substances under 40 CFR part
721 subpart E. In this unit, EPA provides a brief description for each
substance, including its PMN number, chemical name (generic name if the
specific name is claimed as CBI), CAS number (if assigned), basis for
the action taken by EPA in the section 5(e) consent order or as a non-
section 5(e) SNUR for the substance (including the statutory citation
and specific finding), toxicity concern, and the CFR citation assigned
in the regulatory text section of this rule. The specific uses which
are designated as significant new uses are cited in the regulatory text
section of the rule by reference to 40 CFR part 721 subpart B where the
significant new uses are described in detail. Certain new uses,
including production limits and other uses designated in the rule are
claimed as CBI. The procedure for obtaining confidential information is
set out in Unit VII. of this preamble.
Where the underlying section 5(e) order prohibits the PMN submitter
from exceeding a specified production limit without performing specific
tests to determine the health or environmental effects of a substance,
the tests are described in this unit. As explained further in Unit VI.
of this preamble, the SNUR for such substances contains the same
production limit, and exceeding the production limit is defined as a
significant new use. Persons who intend to exceed the production limit
must notify the Agency by submitting a significant new use notice
(SNUN) at least 90 days in advance. In addition, this unit describes
tests that are recommended by EPA to provide sufficient information to
evaluate the substance, but for which no production limit has been
established in the section 5(e) order. Descriptions of recommended
tests are provided for informational purposes.
Data on potential exposures or releases of the substances, testing
other than that specified in the section 5(e) order for the substances,
or studies on analogous substances, which may demonstrate that the
significant new uses being reported do not present an unreasonable
risk, may be included with significant new use notification. Persons
submitting a SNUN must comply with the same notice requirements and EPA
regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs, as stated in 40 CFR
721.1(c), including submission of test data on health and environmental
effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50.
EPA is not publishing SNURs for 14 PMN substances: P-93-67, P-93-
68, P-93-184, P-93-185, P-93-186, P-93-187, P-93-188, P-93-190, P-93-
282, P-93-317, P-93-318, P-93-476, P-93-721, and P-93-959 which are
subject to a final 5(e) consent order. The 5(e) consent orders for
these substances are derived from an exposure finding based solely on
substantial production volume and significant or substantial human
exposure and/or release to the environment of substantial quantities.
For these cases there were limited or no toxicity data available for
the PMN substances. In such cases, EPA regulates the new chemical
substances under section 5(e) by requiring certain toxicity tests. For
instance, chemical substances with potentially substantial releases to
surface waters would be subject to toxicity testing of aquatic
organisms and chemicals with potentially substantial human exposures
would be subject to health effects testing for mutagenicity, acute
effects, and subchronic effects. However, for these substances the
short-term toxicity testing required by the 5(e) order is usually
completed within 1 to 2 years of notice of commencement. EPA's
experience with exposure-based SNURs requiring short-term testing is
that the SNUR is often revoked within 1 to 2 years when the test
results are received. Rather than issue and revoke SNURs in such a
short span of time, EPA will defer publication of exposure-based SNURs
until either a Notice of Commencement (NOC) or data demonstrating risk
are received unless the toxicity testing required is long-term. EPA is
issuing this explanation and notification as required in 40 CFR
721.160(a)(2) as it has determined that SNURs are not needed at this
time for these substances which are subject to a final 5(e) consent
order under TSCA.
The section 5(e) orders for P-92-776, P-92-777, and P-93-214
contain new chemical exposure limits (NCEL) provisions. In each case,
the section 5(e) order allows the PMN submitter and the submitter's
customers to protect workers by controlling and monitoring airborne
concentrations of the substance present in the workplace as an
alternative to certain respirator requirements.
A clause had been added to these SNURs stating that as an
alternative to the respiratory protection designated in the SNUR,
manufacturers, importers, and processors may follow the same NCEL
provisions found in the section 5(e) consent orders for these
substances, including using only EPA-approved sampling and analytical
methods if approval is stipulated by the 5(e) consent order. No general
NCEL language has been added to the regulatory text of the
corresponding SNURs as EPA expects that only manufacturers, importers,
and processors with access to the original 5(e) consent order of the
original PMN submitter will be able to readily use this clause. EPA
recommends that any company proposing to substitute NCEL or other
alternative control measures for SNUR provisions consult EPA either by
submitting a SNUN or requesting a determination of equivalency under
the procedures for ``EPA Approval of Alternative Control Measures'' in
Sec. 721.30.
PMN Number P-88-1304
Chemical name: (generic) Polypiperidinol-acrylate methacrylate.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: January 1, 1989.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause
immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and chronic toxicity. The PMN
substance has demonstrated acute toxicity and internal organ effects in
toxicity studies.
Recommended testing: A 90-day oral subchronic toxicity study in rats
(40 CFR 798.2650) is recommended to address the potential health
concerns. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production
volume limit without performing the 90-day subchronic study.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4794.
PMN Numbers P-88-1937 and P-88-1938
Chemical name: (generic) Substituted 2-nitro- and 2-
aminobenzesulfonamide.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: September 15, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that these
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the
environment.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause aquatic
and terrestrial toxicity in test species. Based on this data, EPA
expects toxicity to aquatic organisms to occur at concentrations of 100
ppb (parts per billion) for P-88-1937 and 10 ppb for P-88-1938 in
surface waters. EPA has determined that certain uses of the PMN
substances could result in releases to surface waters where the
concentration would be greater than 100 ppb for P-88-1937 and greater
than 10 ppb for P-88-1938.
Recommended testing: To help characterize the terrestrial effects, the
following studies are recommended: Inherent biodegradation in soil (40
CFR 796.3400), earthworm toxicity test (Sec. 795.150, proposed June 26,
1991 (56 FR 29155)), early seedling growth test (40 CFR 797.2800), soil
microbial community test (40 CFR 797.3700), and aerobic biodegradation
test (aquatic) (40 CFR 796.3100). To help characterize the aquatic
toxicity effects, the following studies are recommended: Acute algal
(40 CFR 797.1050) (static/nominal conditions), acute daphnid (40 CFR
797.1300) (flow-through/measured conditions), and acute fish (40 CFR
797.1400) (flow-through/measured conditions).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1612.
PMN Number P-91-659
Chemical name: (generic) 2-Chloro-4,6-bis(substituted)-1,3,5-triazine,
dihydrochloride.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: July 20, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to environment.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause aquatic
and terrestrial toxicity in test species. Based on this data, EPA
expects toxicity to aquatic organisms to occur at a concentration of 10
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. EPA has determined that
certain uses of the PMN substance could result in releases to surface
waters where the concentration of the PMN substance would be greater
than 10 ppb.
Recommended testing: To help characterize the terrestrial effects, the
following studies are recommended: Early life seedling growth toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.2800), inherent biodegradation in soil (40 CFR
796.3400), earthworm subchronic toxicity study (Sec. 795.150, proposed
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29155)), soil microbial community toxicity study
(40 CFR 797.3700), and plant life cycle growth test (40 CFR 797.2830).
To help characterize the aquatic toxicity effects, the following
studies are recommended: Acute algal study (40 CFR 797.1050), acute
daphnia study (40 CFR 797.1300), and acute fish study (40 CFR
797.1400).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9750.
PMN Number P-91-689
Chemical name: (generic) Trisubstituted anthracene.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: October 6, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health
and the environment.
Toxicity concern: Laboratory animal test data on chemicals similar in
structure to the PMN substance indicate that the PMN substance may
cause carcinogenicity in humans. Similar substances have also been
shown to cause toxicity in aquatic organisms. Specifically, based on
quantitative structural activity relationships on similar neutral
organic compounds, EPA predicts acute toxicity to aquatic organisms
could occur at 2 ppb in surface waters.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a Salmonella typhimurium
reverse mutation assay (Ames test) (40 CFR 798.5625) and a 7,12-
dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate tumor
promoter test may help characterize the carcinogenic effects of the PMN
substance. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed specified
production limits without performing these tests. However, the results
of each preceding study will be used by EPA to determine if the next
study may not be required. EPA believes that an oncogenicity test (two-
species, dermal) (40 CFR 798.3300) would help characterize the human
health effects and the following aquatic toxicity tests would help
characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance: A 96-h
bioassay in algae (40 CFR 797.1050), a 48-h LC50 test in Daphnia (40
CFR 797.1300), and a 96-h LC50 test in fish (40 CFR 797.1400).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.715.
PMN Numbers P-92-776 and P-92-777
Chemical name: (generic) Carboxylic acid glycidyl esters.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: June 25, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that these
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and the
environment.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause
carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and developmental and reproductive
toxicities in test animals. Test data on P-92-777 indicate the
potential for eye corrosion and lung damage. Similar chemicals have
also been shown to cause toxic effects in aquatic organisms.

Chemical name: Calcium, bis(2,4-pentanedionato-O,O').
CAS number: 19372-44-2.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: August 7, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health.
Toxicity concern: Test data on structurally similar chemical substances
have been shown to cause developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity in
test animals.
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that the results of the
following toxicity testing and exposure monitoring would help
characterize possible human health risks caused by the manufacture,
import, processing, and use of the PMN substance: A 28-day inhalation
study in rats (OECD guideline 407) modified to include a functional
observation battery and neuropathology (NTIS: PB 91-1546170), and
workplace airborne monitoring (NIOSH Analytical Methods nos. 0500 and
0600, total nuisance dust and respirable nuisance dust, respectively).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.982.
PMN Number P-93-333
Chemical name: (generic) Lecithins, phospholipase A2-hydrolyzed.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: July 9, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that these
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the
environment.
Toxicity concern: Test data on structurally similar chemical substances
indicate that the PMN substances may cause toxicity to aquatic
organisms. Based on this data, EPA expects toxicity to aquatic
organisms to occur at a concentration of 10 ppb of the PMN substances
in surface waters. EPA has determined that certain uses of the PMN
substances could result in releases to surface waters where the
concentration of the PMN substances would be greater than 10 ppb.
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that the results of the
following acute aquatic toxicity testing would help characterize
possible environmental effects of the substances: Algal (40 CFR
797.1050), daphnid (40 CFR 797.1300), fish (40 CFR 797.1400), and fish
acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid (40 CFR 850.1085). All tests
should be conducted with static conditions and nominal concentrations.
The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production volume limit
without performing these tests.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4585.
PMN Number P-93-364
Chemical name: (generic) Polyepoxy polyol.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coating. Based on
analogy to epoxides, the PMN substance may cause cancer and
reproductive effects. EPA has determined that workers exposed by
inhalation may be at risk for these toxic effects. EPA determined that
use of the substance as a granule as described in the PMN did not
present an unreasonable risk because significant inhalation exposure
will not occur. EPA has determined that use in a powder form may result
in significant inhalation exposures. Based on this information, the PMN
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C) and
(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day oral subchronic
study with special attention to the testes (40 CFR 798.2650) will help
characterize the health effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.7710.
PMN Number P-93-699
Chemical name: (generic) Substituted benzenedicarboxylic acid ester.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: September 21, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and the
environment.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause cancer in
test animals and ecotoxicity effects in aquatic organisms.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a 2-year
rodent bioassay (40 CFR 798.33) would help characterize the potential
carcinogenic effects of the PMN substance. In addition, to characterize
the potential aquatic toxicity effects, EPA has determined that an
acute algal study (40 CFR 797.1050), an acute daphnid study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an acute fish study (40 CFR 797.1400) would be helpful.
Human health toxicity data on representative members of the acrylate/
methacrylate class of chemical substances being developed by certain
acrylate and methacrylate manufacturers may also be useful in
evaluating the risk posed by the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2930.
PMN Number P-93-1047
Chemical name: Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-methyl-, reaction products with
oxirane mono[(C10-16-alkyloxy)methyl] derivatives and 2,2,4(or
2,4,4)-trimethyl-1,6-hexanediamine.
CAS number: 147170-38-5.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coatings
component. Based on analogy of the substance to neutral organic
substances, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may
occur at concentrations as low as 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface
waters. EPA determined that use of the substance as described in the
PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because the substance would
not be released to surface waters. EPA has determined that other uses
of the substance may result in releases to surface waters. Based on
this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1645.
PMN Number P-93-1119
Chemical name: (generic) Organotin lithium compound.
CAS number: Not available.
Toxicity concern: The substance will be used as a catalyst. Test data
on organotin pesticides indicate that the substance may cause toxicity
to aquatic organisms. Based on these data, EPA expects toxicity to
aquatic organisms to occur at a concentration of 1 ppb of the substance
in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the substance as
described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because the
substance would not be released to surface waters. EPA has determined
that manufacture, processing, and use of the substance for uses other
than as a catalyst could result in releases to surface waters. Based on
this information, the substance meets the concern criteria at
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9668.
PMN Number P-93-1166
Chemical name: (generic) Alkylsulfonium salt.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an intermediate.
Based on analogy to dialkyl cationic quaternary nitrogen surfactants,
EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations as low as 50 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters.
EPA determined that use of the substance as described in the PMN did
not present an unreasonable risk because the substance would not be
released to surface waters resulting in concentrations above 50 ppb.
EPA has determined that other uses of the substance may result in
releases to surface water at concentrations above 50 ppb. Based on this
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.7655.
PMN Number P-93-1183
Chemical name: (generic) Substituted quinoline.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an intermediate.
Based on analogy of the substance to neutral organic substances, EPA is
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations as low as 20 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters.
Based on analogy of the substance to other quinolines, EPA is concerned
that developmental and reproductive toxicity may occur to exposed
workers. EPA determined that use of the substance as described in the
PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because the substance would
not be released to surface waters and significant worker exposure would
not occur because the substance was used in an enclosed process. EPA
has determined that other uses of the substance may result in releases
to surface waters which exceed the concern concentration and
significant worker exposure. Based on this information, the PMN
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(iii) and
(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. EPA
has determined that a two-generation reproduction study (40 CFR
798.4700), and a developmental toxicity study (40 CFR 708.4900) would
help characterize the health effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9100.
PMN Numbers P-93-1193, 1194, 1195, 1196, 1203, and 1204

Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as intermediates.
Based on analogy of the substances to ester compounds, EPA is concerned
that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low
as 80 ppb of P-93-1193, 1194, 1195, and 1196, and 60 ppb of P-93-1203
and 1204, in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the substances
as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because
the substances would not be released to surface waters. EPA has
determined that other uses of the substances may result in releases to
surface waters. Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the
concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4) (iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would

may cause toxicity to aquatic organisms in surface waters at
concentrations as low as 60 ppb. EPA has determined that persons
exposed dermally to the PMN substance may be at risk for cancer. EPA
determined that use of the substance as an intermediate did not present
an unreasonable risk because there were no significant dermal exposures
or environmental releases. EPA has determined that use of the substance
other than as an intermediate may result in significant dermal or

CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3364.
IV. Objectives and Rationale of the Rule
During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are subject to this SNUR, EPA concluded that for 10 of the
substances regulation was warranted under section 5(e) of TSCA pending
the development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations
of the health or environmental effects of the substances. The basis for
such findings is outlined in Unit III. of this preamble. Based on these
findings, section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use of appropriate
controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters; the SNUR provisions
for these substances designated herein are consistent with the
provisions of the section 5(e) orders.
In the other 22 cases for which the proposed uses are not regulated
under a section 5(e) order, EPA determined that one or more of the
criteria of concern established at 40 CFR 721.170 were met.
EPA is issuing this SNUR for specific chemical substances which
have undergone premanufacture review to ensure that: EPA will receive
notice of any company's intent to manufacture, import, or process a
listed chemical substance for a significant new use before that
activity begins; EPA will have an opportunity to review and evaluate
data submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins
manufacturing, importing, or processing a listed chemical substance for
a significant new use; when necessary to prevent unreasonable risks EPA
will be able to regulate prospective manufacturers, importers, or
processors of a listed chemical substance before a significant new use
of that substance occurs; and all manufacturers, importers, and
processors of the same chemical substance which is subject to a section
5(e) order are subject to similar requirements. Issuance of a SNUR for
a chemical substance does not signify that the substance is listed on
the TSCA Inventory. Manufacturers, importers, and processors are
responsible for ensuring that a new chemical substance subject to a
final SNUR is listed on the TSCA Inventory.
V. Direct Final Procedure
EPA is issuing these SNURs as direct final rules, as described in
40 CFR 721.160(c)(3) and 721.170(d)(4). In accordance with 40 CFR
721.160(c)(3)(ii), this rule will be effective July 26, 1994, unless
EPA receives a written notice by June 27, 1994 that someone wishes to
make adverse or critical comments on EPA's action. If EPA receives such
a notice, EPA will publish a notice to withdraw the direct final
SNUR(s) for the specific substance(s) to which the adverse or critical
comments apply. EPA will then propose a SNUR for the specific
substance(s) providing a 30-day comment period.
This action establishes SNURs for a number of chemical substances.
Any person who submits a notice of intent to submit adverse or critical
comments must identify the substance and the new use to which it
applies. EPA will not withdraw a SNUR for a substance not identified in
a notice.
VI. Test Data and Other Information
EPA recognizes that section 5 of TSCA does not require developing
any particular test data before submission of a SNUN. Persons are
required only to submit test data in their possession or control and to
describe any other data known to or reasonably ascertainable by them.
In cases where a section 5(e) order requires or recommends certain
testing, Unit III. of this preamble lists those recommended tests.
However, EPA has established production limits in the section 5(e)
orders for several of the substances regulated under this rule, in view
of the lack of data on the potential health and environmental risks
that may be posed by the significant new uses or increased exposure to
the substances. These production limits cannot be exceeded unless the
PMN submitter first submits the results of toxicity tests that would
permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these
substances. Under recent consent orders, each PMN submitter is required
to submit each study at least 14 weeks (earlier orders required
submissions at least 12 weeks) before reaching the specified production
limit. Listings of the tests specified in the section 5(e) orders are
included in Unit III. of this preamble. The SNURs contain the same
production volume limits as the consent orders. Exceeding these
production limits is defined as a significant new use.
The recommended studies may not be the only means of addressing the
potential risks of the substance. However, SNUNs submitted for
significant new uses without any test data may increase the likelihood
that EPA will take action under section 5(e), particularly if
satisfactory test results have not been obtained from a prior
submitter. EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA
early enough so that they will be able to conduct the appropriate
tests. SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on:
(1) Human exposure and environmental release that may result from
the significant new use of the chemical substances.
(2) Potential benefits of the substances.
(3) Information on risks posed by the substances compared to risks
posed by potential substitutes.
VII. Procedural Determinations
EPA is establishing through this rule some significant new uses
which have been claimed as CBI. EPA is required to keep this
information confidential to protect the CBI of the original PMN
submitter. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the situation where
a specific significant new use is CBI. This procedure appears in 40 CFR
721.1725(b)(1) and is similar to that in Sec. 721.11 for situations
where the chemical identity of the substance subject to a SNUR is CBI.
This procedure is cross-referenced in each of these SNURs.
A manufacturer or importer may request EPA to determine whether a
proposed use would be a significant new use under this rule. Under the
procedure incorporated from Sec. 721.1725(b)(1), a manufacturer or
importer must show that it has a bona fide intent to manufacture or
import the substance and must identify the specific use for which it
intends to manufacture or import the substance. If EPA concludes that
the person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the
substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the
bona fide submission would be a significant new use under the rule.
Since most of the chemical identities of the substances subject to
these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can combine the
bona fide submission under the procedure in Sec. 721.1725(b)(1) with
that under Sec. 721.11 into a single step.
If a manufacturer or importer is told that the production volume
identified in the bona fide submission would not be a significant new
use, i.e. it is below the level that would be a significant new use,
that person can manufacture or import the substance as long as the
aggregate amount does not exceed that identified in the bona fide
submission to EPA. If the person later intends to exceed that volume, a
new bona fide submission would be necessary to determine whether that
higher volume would be a significant new use. EPA is considering
whether to adopt a special procedure for use when CBI production volume
is designated as a significant new use. Under such a procedure, a
person showing a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the
substance, under the procedure described in Sec. 721.11, would
automatically be informed of the production volume that would be a
significant new use. Thus the person would not have to make multiple
bona fide submissions to EPA for the same substance to remain in
compliance with the SNUR, as could be the case under the procedures in
Sec. 721.1725(b)(1).
VIII. Applicability of Rule to Uses Occurring Before Effective Date
of the Final Rule
To establish a significant ``new'' use, EPA must determine that the
use is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have
recently undergone premanufacture review. Section 5(e) orders have been
issued for 10 substances and notice submitters are prohibited by the
section 5(e) orders from undertaking activities which EPA is
designating as significant new uses. In cases where EPA has not
received an NOC and the substance has not been added to the Inventory,
no other person may commence such activities without first submitting a
PMN. For substances for which an NOC has not been submitted at this
time, EPA has concluded that the uses are not ongoing. However, EPA
recognizes in cases when chemical substances identified in this SNUR
are added to the Inventory prior to the effective date of the rule, the
substances may be manufactured, imported, or processed by other persons
for a significant new use as defined in this rule before the effective
date of the rule. However, 14 of the 32 substances contained in this
rule have CBI chemical identities, and since EPA has received a limited
number of post-PMN bona fide submissions, the Agency believes that it
is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in
the following regulatory text are ongoing.
As discussed in the Federal Register of April 24, 1990 (55 FR
17376), EPA has decided that the intent of section 5(a)(1)(B) is best
served by designating a use as a significant new use as of this date of
publication rather than as of the effective date of the rule. Thus,
persons who begin commercial manufacture, import, or processing of the
substances regulated through this SNUR will have to cease any such
activity before the effective date of this rule. To resume their
activities, these persons would have to comply with all applicable SNUN
requirements and wait until the notice review period, including all
extensions, expires.
EPA has promulgated provisions to allow persons to comply with this
SNUR before the effective date. If a person were to meet the conditions
of advance compliance under Sec. 721.45(h), the person would be
considered to have met the requirements of the final SNUR for those
activities. If persons who begin commercial manufacture, import, or
processing of the substance between publication and the effective date
of the SNUR do not meet the conditions of advance compliance, they must
cease that activity before the effective date of the rule. To resume
their activities, these persons would have to comply with all
applicable SNUN requirements and wait until the notice review period,
including all extensions, expires.
IX. Economic Analysis
EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing significant
new use notice requirements for potential manufacturers, importers, and
processors of the chemical substance subject to this rule. EPA's
complete economic analysis is available in the public record for this
rule (OPPTS-50615).
X. Rulemaking Record
EPA has established a record for this rulemaking (docket control
number OPPTS-50615). The record includes information considered by EPA
in developing this rule. A public version of the record without any
confidential business information is available in the TSCA
Nonconfidential Information Center (NCIC) from 12 noon to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. The TSCA NCIC is located
at Rm. E-G099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
XI. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant''
and therefore subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and the requirements of the Executive Order. Under section 3(f),
the order defines a ``significant regulatory action'' as an action that
is likely to result in a rule: (1) Having an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more, or adversely and materially affecting
a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or State, local or tribal
governments or communities (also referred to as ``economically
significant''); (2) creating serious inconsistency or otherwise
interfering with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3)
materially altering the budgetary impacts of entitlement, grants, user
fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) raising novel legal or policy issues arising out of
legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth
in this Executive Order.
Pursuant to the terms of this Executive Order, EPA has determined
that this rule is not ``significant'' and is therefore not subject to
OMB review.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), EPA has
determined that this rule would not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small businesses. EPA has determined that
approximately 10 percent of the parties affected by this rule could be
small businesses. However, EPA expects to receive few SNUR notices for
the substances. Therefore, EPA believes that the number of small
businesses affected by this rule will not be substantial, even if all
of the SNUR notice submitters were small firms.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act.
The information collection requirements contained in this rule have
been approved by OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and have been assigned OMB control number
2070-0012.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to vary from 30 to 170 hours per response, with an average of
100 hours per response, including time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to Chief, Information Policy Branch (2131), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460; and to Office
of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (2070-0012),
Washington, DC 20503.
