Technical Amendments to TSCA Regulations to Update Addresses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing technical amendments to several regulations 
under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These amendments revise 
the addresses for mailing information to, requesting information from, 
or otherwise contacting certain offices in the Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). Additionally, this document makes 
technical amendments to certain information submission procedures that 
pertain to TSCA section 4 test rules and consent orders.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule takes effect on July 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director, 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460, Telephone: (202) 554-1404, TDD: (554-0551); TSCA-
H[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document makes technical amendments to 
certain TSCA regulations (40 CFR parts 700 to end). The technical 
amendments update the mailing addresses for submissions of information 
to, requesting information from, or otherwise contacting certain 
offices in OPPT. The addresses currently listed in the regulations have 
been changed and should no longer be used. Updating applicable 
addresses will ensure that OPPT receives all information requests and 
submissions in a timely manner.
    Additionally, in order to centralize document receipt and to reduce 
burdens associated with the submission of information under TSCA 
section 4 test rules and consent orders, EPA is revising its section 4 
procedural rules at 40 CFR Part 790 so that all documents and requests 
for actions be sent to the address published in 40 CFR 790.5(b). The 
current procedural rules require under Sec. 790.5(d) that certain 
submissions and inquiries relating to test rules and consent orders be 
submitted to the Director of the Office of Compliance Monitoring (OCM). 
Some of these submissions are duplicative (e.g., the requirement at 40 
CFR 790.5(d) to submit to OCM copies of transmittal memos accompanying 
material submitted to OPPT under Sec. 790.5(b)). In addition, the 
responsibility to handle other, non-duplicative submissions, as well as 
questions, has been assigned to OPPT as the result of EPA streamlining 
and reorganization efforts that have eliminated OCM. Therefore, EPA is 
removing Sec. 790.5(d) and references to that section. Where 
appropriate, EPA is replacing references to Sec. 790.5(d) with 
references to Sec. 790.5(b).
    Because these are non-substantive procedural changes, notice and 
public comment are not necessary. These changes are effective 
immediately.

I. Rulemaking Record

    EPA has established a record for this rulemaking (docket control 
number OPPTS-00173). A public version of the record, without any 
confidential business information is available in the Non-Confidential 
Information Center (NCIC) (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and 
Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Room B-607 NEM, 401 M 
Street, SW., Washington, DC, 20460, between the hours of 12 p.m. and 4 
p.m. weekdays excluding legal holidays.

II. Regulatory Assessment Requirements Analyses Under Executive 
Order 12866, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and the Paperwork Reduction Act

    Because this action is limited to intra-agency procedural changes, 
including updating addresses, consolidating addressees and eliminating 
unnecessary procedural duplication, there is no ``significant'' 
regulatory action within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 
51735, October 4, 1993). In addition, this action does not impose any 
additional Federal mandates on State, local, or tribal governments or 
the private sector within the meaning of The Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act of 1995. For these reasons, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), I certify that this action would not have a 
significant economic impact 

[[Page 34463]]
on a substantial number of small entities. In addition, because no 
substantive requirement in the procedural rule is being increased, this 
action does not affect the requirements under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501.
