Aromatic Amino Ether; Withdrawal of a Significant New Use Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing a significant new use rule (SNUR) 
promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act 
(TSCA) for the chemical substance generically described as an aromatic 
amino ether which was the subject of premanufacture notice (PMN) P-90-
1840. EPA initially published this SNUR using direct final rulemaking 
procedures. EPA received critical comments on this rule. Therefore, the 
Agency is withdrawing this rule, as required under the Expedited SNUR 
rulemaking process (40 CFR part 721 subpart D). In a separate notice of 
proposed rulemaking published elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal 
Register, EPA is proposing a SNUR for this substance with a 30-day 
comment period.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective on June 6, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director, 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-543B, 401 
M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, Telephone: (202) 554-1404, TDD: (202) 
554-0551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 4, 1993 
(58 FR 51684), EPA issued several direct final SNURs including a SNUR 
for the substance described generically as aromatic amino ether, PMN P-
90-1840. As described in 40 CFR 721.160, EPA is withdrawing the rule 
issued for P-90-1840 under direct final rulemaking procedures because 
the Agency received adverse comments. As required by 
Sec. 721.160(a)(3)(iii), EPA is proposing the rule published elsewhere 
in today's issue of the Federal Register. For further information 
regarding EPA's expedited process for issuing SNURs, interested parties 
are directed to 40 CFR part 721 subpart D and 54 FR 31314 (July 27, 
1989). The record for the direct final SNUR for this substance which is 
being withdrawn by this rule was established at OPPTS-50612. That 
record includes information considered by the Agency in developing this 
rule, and includes the adverse comments to which the Agency has 
responded with this notice of withdrawal. The docket control number for 
the withdrawal is OPPTS-50612A. For details refer to the proposal 
published elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register. The 
relevent portions of the original docket for the direct final SNUR are 
being incorporated under OPPTS-50612B, which is established for the 
proposed rule.
    A public version of the record, without any confidential business 
information (CBI), is available in the TSCA Nonconfidential Information 
Center (NCIC), also known as, TSCA Public Docket Office, from 12 noon 
to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. NCIC is 
located in Rm. E-G102, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
