40 CFR Part 721

[OPPTS-50612C; FRL-4774-8]
RIN 2070-AB27

 

Alkenyl Ether of Alkanetriol Polymer; Revocation of Significant 
New Use Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is revoking a significant new use rule (SNUR) promulgated 
under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 
the chemical substance described generically as an alkenyl ether of 
alkanetriol polymer, which was the subject of premanufacture notice 
(PMN) P-93-458. EPA initially published this SNUR using direct final 
rulemaking procedures. EPA received adverse comments on this rule. 
Therefore, the Agency is revoking 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 December 19, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 4, 1993 
(58 FR 51672), EPA issued several direct final SNURs including a SNUR 
for the substance described generically as alkenyl ether of alkanetriol 
polymer, PMN P-93-458. As described in 40 CFR 721.160, EPA is revoking 
the rule issued for P-93-458 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. The record for the direct 
final SNUR for this substance which is being revoked 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 revocation. The 
docket control number for the revocation is OPPTS-50612C. For details, 
refer to the proposal published elsewhere in today's issue of the 
Federal Register. The relevant portions of the original docket for the 
direct final SNUR are being incorporated under OPPTS-50612D, which is 
established for the proposed 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 in Rm. NE-B607, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460.
