ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 721

[OPPTS-50638; FRL-6592-8]
RIN 2070-AB27


Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under 
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 40 
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 rule 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 to prevent any unreasonable risk of injury to human 
health or the environment. EPA is promulgating this SNUR using direct 
final procedures.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is February 26, 2001 without 
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment or notice of intent 
to submit adverse comment before January 25, 2001. This rule shall be 
promulgated for purposes of judicial review at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on 
January 9, 2001.
    If EPA receives adverse comment or notice before January 25, 2001 
that someone wishes to submit adverse or critical comments on EPA's 
action in establishing a significant new use rule (SNUR) for one or 
more of the chemical substances subject to this rule, EPA will withdraw 
the SNUR before the effective date for the substance for which the 
comment or notice of intent to comment is received and will issue a 
proposed SNUR providing a 30-day period for public comment.

ADDRESSES: Comments or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical 
comments may be submitted by mail, electronically, or in person. Please 
follow the detailed instructions for each method as provided in Unit I. 
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, it 
is imperative that you identify docket control number OPPTS-50638 in 
the subject line on the first page of your response.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This SNUR will require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days 
before commencing manufacturing, importing, 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 SNUR 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.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    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) of TSCA. 
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 721.5.

C. 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 TSCA section 5(b) and 
5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA section

[[Page 81388]]

5 (h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR 
part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUR notice, EPA may take regulatory 
action under TSCA 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 TSCA 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 TSCA 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 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 for non-
confidential chemical identities), basis for the action taken by EPA in 
the TSCA 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 this 
document by reference to 40 CFR part 721, subpart E 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.
    Where the underlying TSCA section 5(e) consent 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., 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 TSCA section 5(e) consent 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 TSCA section 5(e) consent 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 PMNs P-98-487, P-98-496, P-98-1033/
1034/1035, P-99-31/32/33/34, P-99-531, P-99-519/522/593/594, P-99-544/
545/546/547/548/583/584/585/ 586/587/588, P-99-703, and P-99-1131/1132/
1133/1134/1135/1138, which are subject to a final TSCA section 5(e) 
consent order. The TSCA section 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 TSCA 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 TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order is usually completed within 1 to 2 years of notice of 
commencement (NOC). 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 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 section 5(e) 
consent order under TSCA.
PMN Number P-97-0766
Chemical name: (generic) Tetrahydrohetero polycycle.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: January 29, 1999.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of TSCA based on a 
finding that this substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to human health.
Toxicity concern: Based on data on structural analogues, the substance 
may cause mutagenicity and carcinogenicity to workers who are exposed 
by either inhalation or dermal route.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a Mitogenicity Assay for 
rats via gavage based on the consent order guidelines and a 2-year, 
two-species oral carcinogenicity study (40 CFR 798.3300 or OPPTS 
870.4200 test guideline) would help to characterize the human health 
effects of the PMN substance. The PMN submitter has agreed not to 
exceed the production volume limit without performing the Mitogenicity 
Assay.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.6479.
PMN Number P-97-0916
Chemical name: (generic) 4,4'-(1-methylethylidene)bisphenol, polymer 
with (chloromethyl)oxirane and a diamine.
CAS number: Not available. Effective date of section 5(e) consent 
order: March 30, 1999.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of TSCA based on a 
finding that this substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to the environment.
Toxicity concern: Based on test data submitted on the PMN substance, 
the concentration of concern for the PMN substance is 2 parts per 
billion (ppb) for daphnids and 8 ppb for fish.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the following testing 
would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance:
Tier I: A daphnid chronic toxicity test (40 CFR 797.1330 or OPPTS 
850.1330 test guideline (public draft)). If test chemical shows no 
effects at saturation,

[[Page 81389]]

then no further testing is required. If the test chemical shows chronic 
toxicity toward daphnids, then proceed to next tier.
Tier II: A chronic fish early life stage toxicity test in rainbow trout 
(40 CFR CFR 797.1600 or OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline (public draft)).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5585.
PMN Number P-98-0002
Chemical name: (generic) Mixed metal oxides.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: April 29, l999.
Basis for action: The order was issued under section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this substance may 
present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health.
Toxicity concern: Based on test data on structural analogues, the PMN 
substance may pose a risk of lung toxicity or fibrosis, developmental 
toxicity, or carcinogenicity through inhalation or ingestion of the PMN 
substance.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic 
inhalation study in rats (40 CFR 798.2450 or OPPTS 870.3465 test 
guideline) and a 2-year, two-species oral carcinogenicity test (40 CFR 
798.3300 or OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline) would help to characterize 
the human health concerns. The consent order contains a production 
volume limit. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production 
volume limit without performing the 90-day oral subchronic toxicity 
test.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4610.
PMN Number P-98-0903
Chemical name: (generic) Polyalkylene glycol polyamide ester phosphate.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coating additive. 
Based on structural analogy to anionic surfactants, EPA is concerned 
that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low 
as 60 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is not expected, as the substance is not 
released to surface waters, as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substance resulting in release to 
surface waters may cause significant adverse environmental effects. 
Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria 
at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400 or OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)); a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1300 or OPPTS 
850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1050 or OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.6180.
PMN Number P-98-1016
Chemical name: (generic) Polymer of polyalkylenepolyol and 
trisubstituted phenol.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an emulsifying 
component for adhesive resin. Based on structural analogy to alkyl 
ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, EPA is concerned that toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 10 ppb of the 
PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant environmental 
exposure is not expected as the PMN substance is not released to 
surface water above 10 ppb, as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substance resulting in release to 
surface waters above 10 ppb may cause significant adverse environmental 
effects. Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern 
criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400 or OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)); a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1300 or OPPTS 
850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1050 or OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.6515.
PMN Numbers P-98-1274 and P-98-1275
Chemical names: (generic) (P-98-1274) Silicoaluminophosphates compd. 
with organic amine; (P-98-1275) Aluminosilicates, phospho-.
CAS numbers: Not available for (P-98-1274); for (P-98-1275) it is 
201167-69-3.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: May 4, 1999.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of TSCA based on a 
finding that these substances may present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to human health.
Toxicity concern: Structurally similar chemicals have been shown to 
cause lung effects and cancer in humans and test animals.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic 
inhalation toxicity study in rats (40 CFR 798.2450 or OPPTS 870.3465 
test guideline) with special attention to lung tissues and 
histopathology of the lung tissues and a 2-year, two-species oral 
carcinogenicity study (40 CFR 798.3300 or OPPTS 870.4200 test 
guideline) would help to characterize the human health effects of the 
substances. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production 
volume limit without performing the 90 day inhalation toxicity test on 
P-98-1275.
CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.632 (P-98-1274) and 40 CFR 721.633 (P-98-
1275).
PMN Number P-99-0026
Chemical name: Cerium, hydroxy oleate propionate complexes.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a fuel oil/diesel 
additive. Based on structural analogy to lanthanides or rare earth 
metals, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 
at a concentration as low as 7 ppb of the PMN substance in surface 
waters. Since significant environmental exposure is not expected as the 
substance is not released to surface waters above 7 ppb, as described 
in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. 
EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the substance resulting 
in release to surface waters above 7 ppb may cause significant adverse 
environmental effects. Based on this information the PMN substance

organics, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 
at a concentration as low as 400 ppb of the PMN substance in surface 
waters. Since significant environmental exposure is unlikely, as the 
substance is not released to surface waters, as described in the PMN, 
EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and 
use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that other uses of the substance resulting in 
release to surface waters may cause significant adverse environmental 
effects. Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern 
criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an additive for 
plastic. EPA has identified health concerns for neurotoxicity and 
immunotoxicity based on organotin compounds. Since significant worker 
exposure is unlikely when used, as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substance could result in exposures 
that may cause serious health effects. Also, based on organotin data, 
EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 6 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
Since significant environmental exposure is unlikely, as the substance 
is not released to surface waters in significant amounts, as described 
in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. 
EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the substance resulting 
in release to surface waters may cause significant adverse 
environmental effects. Based on this information the PMN substance 
meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170 (b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii).

PMN Number P-99-0198
Chemical name: (generic) Tetraaryltin.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coating system 
intermediate. EPA has identified health concerns for reproductive 
toxicity in males, immunotoxicity, and allergic reaction based on 
analogy to organotin compounds; and concern for mutagenicity based on 
data for triphenyltin hydroxide. Since significant worker exposure is 
unlikely when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that 
the proposed manufacturing, processing and use of the substance may 
present an unreasonable health risk. EPA has determined, however, that 
other uses of the substance other than as an intermediate may result in 
serious health effects. Also, based on data on organotins, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
Since environmental releases are not expected above 1 ppb as described 
in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the substance may present an unreasonable 
environmental risk. EPA has determined, however, that any release of 
the PMN substance to surface waters above 1 ppb may cause significant 
adverse environmental effects. Based on this information the PMN 
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170 (b)(1)(i)(C), 
(b)(3)(ii), and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a prenatal development

anionic dyes, EPA has identified health concerns for carcinogenicity, 
developmental toxicity, kidney toxicity, liver toxicity and 
neurotoxicity based on the potential azo reduction products. Since 
significant worker exposure is unlikely, when the substance is used as 
described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed 
manufacturing, processing, and use of the substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that domestic 
manufacturing could result in exposures which may cause serious chronic 
and developmental effects. Based on this information the PMN substance 
meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day oral subchronic 
in rats (40 CFR 798.2650 or OPPTS 870.3100 test guideline) with 
neurotoxicity adjuncts (NTIS PB 91-154517), a prenatal development 
toxicity study by the oral route in two-species (40 CFR 799.9370), and 
a 2-year, two-species oral carcinogenicity study (40 CFR 798.3300 or 
OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline) would help to characterize the human 
health effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5914.
PMN Number P-99-0531
Chemical name: (generic) Formaldehyde, reaction products with an 
alkylated phenol and an aliphatic amine.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a detergent 
additive for gasoline and diesel fuel. Based on structural analogy to 
aliphatic amines and phenols, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic 
organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 3 ppb of the PMN 
substance in surface waters. Since significant environmental exposure 
is unlikely, as the substance is not released to surface waters in 
significant amounts, when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that use of the substances other than as described in the PMN 
may cause significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this 
information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400 or OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1300 or OPPTS 
850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1050 or OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substance. The PMN substance should be tested as 100 percent active 
ingredients.

PMN Number P-99-0557
Chemical name: Benzenamine,4,4'-methylenebis[N-ethyl-N-methyl-.
CAS number: 76176-94-8.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an intermediate. 
EPA has identified health concerns for mutagenicity, developmental 
toxicity, and sensitization based on analogy to

[[Page 81394]]

methylenedianiline (MDA). EPA also has concerns for carcinogenicity and 
male reproductive toxicity based on analogy to N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl 
methylenedianiline (tetramethyl MDA). Since significant worker exposure 
is unlikely when the substance is used as described in the PMN, EPA has 
not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of 
the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that use of the PMN substance other than as described in the 
PMN could result in exposures which may cause serious health effects. 
Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria 
at Sec. 721.170(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 28-day oral toxicity 
study in rats (OECD guideline no. 407) where histopathologic 
examination shall be extended to include testes/ovaries and lungs, and 
an oral developmental toxicity study by oral route in two-species (40 
CFR 798.4900 or OPPTS 870.3700 test guideline) would help to 
characterize the health effects of the substance.

PMN Number P-99-0558
Chemical name: (generic) Formaldehyde, polymers with substituted 
phenols.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to polynonionic polymers and phenols, 
EPA has concern for toxicity to aquatic organisms, which may occur at a 
concentration as low as 5 ppb of the PMN substance with a number 
average-molecular weight below 600. Since significant environmental 
exposure is unlikely, as the substance is not released to surface 
waters in significant amounts, when used as described in the PMN, EPA 
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use 
of the substance as described in the PMN may present an unreasonable 
risk. EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the substance 
resulting in releases to surface waters of lower molecular weight 
species may cause significant adverse environmental effects. Based on 
this information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400 or OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a processing aid. 
Based on structural analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that 
effects to the aquatic environment may occur at a concentration as low 
as 50 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is unlikely, as the substance is not released to 
surface waters, when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined,

PMN Number P-99-0645
Chemical name: (generic) Amidoamine modified polyethylene glycol.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a surfactant. Based 
on structural analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that 
effects to the aquatic environment may occur at a concentration as low 
as 20 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is unlikely, as the substance is not released to 
surface waters, when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substance resulting in releases to

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to thiocarbamates esters, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
Since significant environmental

salt.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a basic dye for 
cationic dyeable polyester fibers. Based on structural analogy to 
cationic dyes with delocalized cationic charge, EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 1 
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is unlikely, as the substance is not released to 
surface waters in significant amounts, when used as described in the 
PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. 
EPA has determined, however, that domestic manufacture of the substance 
may cause significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this 
information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a catalyst. EPA has 
identified health concerns for neurotoxicity and internal organ effects 
based on analogy to structurally similar compounds. Since significant 
worker exposure is unlikely when the substance is used as a liquid. EPA 
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use 
of the substance may present an unreasonable health risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that manufacture, process, or use of the substance 
as a solid may result in serious health effects. Also, based on analogy 
to cationic dyes with delocalized charge, EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 1 
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is unlikely as the substance is not released to 
surface waters as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the 
proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the substance may 
present an unreasonable environmental risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substance resulting in releases to 
surface waters may cause significant adverse environmental effects. 
Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria 
at Sec. 721.170 (b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 28-day oral toxicity 
study in rats (OECD guideline no. 407) that includes a neurotoxicity 
functional observational battery (NTIS: PB 91-154617) for all test 
doses with the highest dose set at 1,000 mg/kg, and for the highest 
test dose group only, histopathologic examination shall be extended to 
include testes/ovaries and lungs, would help to characterize the human 
health effects of the PMN substance. In addition, the following chronic 
aquatic toxicity tests would help to characterize the environmental 
effects: A fish chronic toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1600 or OPPTS 
850.1400 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid chronic toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1330 or OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline (public 
draft)), and an algal toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050 or OPPTS 850.5400 
test guideline (public draft)).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5378.

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 5 of the 40 
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. Based on these 
findings, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use of 
appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters; 
the SNUR provisions for these substances designated herein are 
consistent with the provisions of the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders.
    In the other 35 cases for which the proposed uses are not regulated 
under a TSCA section 5(e) consent 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:
    1. 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.
    2. EPA will have an opportunity to review and evaluate data 
submitted in a SNUR notice before the notice submitter begins 
manufacturing, importing, or processing a listed chemical substance for 
a significant new use.
    3. 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.
    4. All manufacturers, importers, and processors of the same 
chemical substance which is subject to a TSCA section 5(e) consent 
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 Procedures

    EPA is issuing these SNURs as a direct final rule, 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 February 26, 2001, 
unless EPA receives a written notice by January 25, 2001 that someone 
wishes to make adverse or critical comments on EPA's action. If EPA 
receives such a notice, EPA will publish a document to

[[Page 81396]]

withdraw the direct final SNUR for the specific substance to which the 
adverse or critical comments apply. EPA will then propose a SNUR for 
the specific substance 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 TSCA section 5(e) consent order requires or recommends 
certain testing, Unit III. lists those recommended tests.
    However, EPA has established production limits in the TSCA section 
5(e) consent 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 
consent orders required submissions at least 12 weeks) before reaching 
the specified production limit. Listings of the tests specified in the 
TSCA section 5(e) consent orders are included in Unit III. 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 TSCA 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 subject to Agency confidentiality 
regulations at 40 CFR part 2. 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. TSCA section 5(e) consent 
orders have been issued for 5 substances and notice submitters are 
prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) consent 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, 31 
of the 40 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, EPA has 
decided that the intent of section 5(a)(1)(B) of TSCA is best served by 
designating a use as a significant new use as of the 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 SNUR 
notice requirements and wait

[[Page 81397]]

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 SNUR notice 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 official record for this 
rule (OPPTS-50638).

X. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and 
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) has determined that proposed or final SNURs are not a 
``significant regulatory action'' subject to review by OMB, because 
they do not meet the criteria in section 3(f) of the Executive Order.
    Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs, 
State, local, and tribal governments have not been impacted by these 
rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any 
State, local, or tribal government will be impacted by this rulemaking. 
As such, EPA has determined that this regulatory action does not impose 
any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have 
any effect on small governments subject to the requirements of sections 
202, 203, 204, or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    Similarly, this action is not subject to the requirement for prior 
consultation with Indian tribal governments as specified in Executive 
Order 13084, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments (63 FR 27655, May 19, 1998). Nor will this action have a 
substantial direct effect on States, on the relationship between the 
national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified 
in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 
1999).
    In issuing this final rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to 
eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, 
and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by 
section 3 of Executive Order 12988, entitled Civil Justice Reform (61 
FR 4729, February 7, 1996).
    EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630, entitled Governmental 
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property 
Rights (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988), by examining the takings 
implications of this final rule in accordance with the ``Attorney 
General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and 
Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the Executive Order.
    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental 
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled 
Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority 
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled 
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks 
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically 
significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, and 
this action does not address environmental health or safety risks 
disproportionately affecting children.
    In addition, since this action does not involve any technical 
standards, section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 
U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to this action.
    Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby certifies that promulgation 
of this SNUR will not have a significant adverse economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. The rationale supporting this 
conclusion is as follows. A SNUR applies to any person (including small 
or large entities) who intends to engage in any activity described in 
the rule as a ``significant new use.'' By definition of the word 
``new,'' and based on all information currently available to EPA, it 
appears that no small or large entities presently engage in such 
activity. Since a SNUR only requires that any person who intends to 
engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by 
submitting a SNUN, no economic impact will even occur until someone 
decides to engage in those activities. Although some small entities may 
decide to conduct such activities in the future, EPA cannot presently 
determine how many, if any, there may be. However, EPA's experience to 
date is that, in response to the promulgation of over 530 SNURs, the 
Agency has received fewer than 15 SNUNs. Of those SNUNs submitted, none 
appear to be from small entities in response to any SNUR. In addition, 
the estimated reporting cost for submission of a SNUN (see Unit IX.), 
are minimal regardless of the size of the firm. Therefore, EPA believes 
that the potential economic impact of complying with this SNUR are not 
expected to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of 
small entities. In a SNUR that published on June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) 
(FRL-5597-1), the Agency presented its general determination that 
proposed and final SNURs are not expected to have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, which was 
provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business 
Administration.
    According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq., an Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to a collection of information that requires OMB 
approval under the PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays 
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations, after initial display in the preamble of the final rule 
and in addition to its display on any related collection instrument, 
are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    The information collection requirements related to this action have 
already been approved by OMB pursuant to the PRA under OMB control 
number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This action does not impose any 
burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to submit a 
significant new use notice to the Agency, the annual burden is 
estimated to average between 30 and 170 hours per response. This burden 
estimate includes the time needed to review instructions, search 
existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and 
complete, review, and submit the required significant new use notice.
    Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and

[[Page 81398]]

any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director, OP 
Regulatory Information Division (2137), Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460. Please 
remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but 
do not submit any completed forms to this address.

XI. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a final rule may take effect, the Agency 
promulgating it must submit a final rule report, which includes a copy 
of the final rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller 
General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this 
final rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 
House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United 
States prior to publication of the final rule in the Federal Register. 
This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
