40 CFR Part 721

[OPPTS-50615A; FRL-4916-3]
RIN 2070-AB27


Organotin Lithium Compound; Revocation of Significant New Use 
Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Revocation of 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 organotin lithium 
compound which was the subject of premanufacture notice (PMN) P-93-
1119. 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. In a separate notice of proposed rulemaking 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 7, 1995.

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 May 27, 1994 (59 
FR 27474), EPA issued several direct final SNURs including a SNUR for 
the substance described generically as organotin lithium compound, PMN 
P-93-1119. As described in 40 CFR 721.160, EPA is revoking the rule 
issued for P-93-1119 under direct final rulemaking procedures because 
the Agency received adverse comments. Pursuant to 
Sec. 721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is proposing a revised SNUR for this 
chemical substance elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register. 
For details 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 which is being revoked was established 
at OPPTS-50615. That record includes information considered by the 
Agency in developing the rule and includes the adverse comments to 
which the Agency is responding with this notice of revocation. The 
docket control number for the revocation is OPPTS-50615A. For more 
information, 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-50615B, 
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. [[Page 29993]]
