Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 15062]]


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 62 
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 May 27, 2003 without further 
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment or notice of intent to 
submit adverse comment before April 28, 2003. This rule shall be 
promulgated for purposes of judicial review at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on April 
11, 2003.
    If EPA receives adverse comment or notice before April 28, 2003 
that someone wishes to submit adverse or critical comments on EPA's 
action in establishing a 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 electronically, by mail, or through hand 
delivery/courier. Follow the detailed instructions as provided in Unit 
I. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

C. How and To Whom Do I Submit Comments?

    You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand 
delivery/courier. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the 
appropriate docket ID number in the subject line on the first page of 
your comment. Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the 
specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the 
comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider 
these late comments. If you wish to submit CBI or information that is 
otherwise protected by statute, please follow the instructions in Unit 
I.D. Do not use EPA Dockets or e-mail to submit CBI or information 
protected by statute.
    1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as 
prescribed in this unit, EPA recommends that you include your name, 
mailing address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in 
the body of your comment. Also include this contact information on the 
outside of any disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter 
accompanying the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be 
identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact 
you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties 
or needs further information on the substance of your comment. EPA's 
policy is that EPA will not edit your comment, and any identifying or 
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included 
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, 
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot 
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you 
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to 
submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for 
receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments. 
Once in the system, select ``search,'' and then key in docket ID number 
OPPT-2002-0060. The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which 
means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact 
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
    ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by e-mail to [email protected], 
Attention: Docket ID Number OPPT-2002-0060. In contrast to EPA's 
electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail system is not an ``anonymous 
access'' system. If you send an e-mail comment directly to the docket 
without going through EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail 
system automatically captures your e-mail address. E-mail addresses 
that are automatically captured by EPA's e-mail system are included as 
part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and 
made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
    iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM 
that you mail to the mailing address identified in Unit I.C.2. These 
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file 
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
    2. By mail. Send your comments to: Document Control Office (7407M), 
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental 
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-
0001.
    3. By hand delivery or courier. Deliver your comments to: OPPT 
Document Control Office (DCO) in EPA East Building Rm. 6428, 1201

Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the DCO is 
(202) 564-8930.

D. How Should I Submit CBI To the Agency?

    Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI 
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail. You 
may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part 
or all of that information as CBI (if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, 
mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify 
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that 
is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in 
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes 
any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not 
contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion 
in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit 
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside 
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information 
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's 
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any 
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult 
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

E. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    We invite you to provide your views on the various options we 
propose, new approaches we haven't considered, the potential impacts of 
the various options (including possible unintended consequences), and 
any data or information that you would like the Agency to consider 
during the development of the final action. You may find the following 
suggestions helpful for preparing your comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used

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 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 for P-99-309, P-99-492/493/
494/495/496/497, P-99-847, P-99-1106, P-99-1166, and P-99 -1389, 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 Numbers P-98-0082/0083/0084

[[Page 15065]]

Chemical names: (generic) (P-98-0082 and P-98-0083) Alkoxylated 
alkylpolyol acrylates, adduct with alkylamine and (generic) (P-98-0084) 
Alkoxylated alkylpolyol acrylates.
CAS numbers: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as binders for UV or 
electron beam curable coatings for wood, paper, and plastics. Based on 
structural analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that toxicity 
to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 1 part per 
billion (ppb) of the PMN substances in surface waters. Since 
significant environmental exposure is not expected, as the substances 
are not released to surface waters, as described in the PMNs, EPA has 
not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of 
the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substances resulting in release to 
surface waters may cause significant adverse environmental effects. 
Based on this information the PMN substances meet the concern criteria 
at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline public draft)), and an 
algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substances. All tests should be conducted with the static methods and 
nominal concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.465.

PMN Numbers P-98-0497 and P-98-0509
Chemical name: Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, (1R,2R,4R)-1,7,7-
trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl ester, rel-.
CAS number: 85586-67-0.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as a fragrance 
compound for air fresheners, soaps, shampoo, household detergents, and 
bleach. Toxicity data on structurally similar esters indicate that the 
PMN substances may cause toxicity to aquatic organisms. Based on these 
data, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
a concentration of 10 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. 
Since significant environmental exposure is not expected as the PMN 
substances are not released to surface waters in significant 
quantities, EPA has not determined that the proposed processing and use 
of the substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that an increase in production volume may result in releases 
of the PMN substances to surface waters which may cause significant 
adverse environmental effects. Based on this information the PMN 
substances meet the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170 (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that an algal toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and a 
fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)) would help to characterize possible environmental effects of 
the substances. The fish and daphnid tests should be conducted with 
flow-through methods and measured concentrations. The algal test should 
be conducted with static methods and measured concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4486.

PMN Number P-98-0823
Chemical name: Dodecanoic acid, 12-amino-.
CAS number: 693-57-2.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: August 18, 2000.
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) of TSCA based on a 
finding that this substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to human health and the environment.
Toxicity concern: This PMN substance will be used as a raw material for 
Nylon-12. EPA has identified a health concern for carcinogenicity via 
inhalation exposure based on analogy to 11-aminoundodecanoic acid which 
caused neoplastic nodules in the liver and transitional cell carcinomas 
in the urinary bladder of male rats.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a carcinogenicity study 
(OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline) would help to characterize the human 
health effects.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2584.

PMN Number P-98-1125
Chemical name: (generic) Fatty acid, reaction product with substituted 
oxirane, formaldehyde-phenol polymer glycidyl ether, substituted 
propylamine and polythylenepolyamines.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a curing agent for 
epoxy coating systems. Based on structural analogy to aliphatic amines, 
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 (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)); a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), an algal 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)), and a 
fish acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid (`HA') of 10 and 20 mg HA 
per liter diluent would help to characterize the environmental effects 
of the PMN substance. All studies should use the static methods and 
nominal concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.6181.

PMN Number P-98-1262
Chemical name: (generic) Reaction product of alkylene diamine, MD1, 
substituted carbomonocyclic amine and alkylamine.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on test data on structurally similar neutral organic 
chemicals, the PMN substance may cause toxicity to aquatic organisms. 
Based on the data, 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 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 the results of the 
following testing would help characterize the environmental effects of 
the PMN substance: a Melting point (OPPTS 830.7200 test guideline), a 
fish early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline 
(public draft)), and a daphnid chronic toxicity test

[[Page 15066]]

(OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline (public draft)). The fish and daphnid 
tests should be conducted with the flow-through methods and measured 
concentrations, and hardness of dilution water less than 180 mg/L as 
CaC03.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2582.

PMN Number P-99-0044
Chemical name: Formaldehyde, polymer with phenol and 1,2,3-
propanetriol, methylated.
CAS number: 209810-57-1.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a bonding agent for 
mineral aggregates. Based on structural analogy to phenols, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 2 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 3 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 releases to surface water above 3 ppb may cause 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 an activated sludge 
sorption isotherm test (OPPTS 835.1110 test guideline), a fish acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a 
daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public 
draft)), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline 
(public draft)) would help characterize the environmental effects of 
the PMN substance. The fish and daphid tests should be performed under 
flow through methods and measured concentrations. The algal test should 
be performed under static methods and measured concentrations.

emphasis on hematology, the immune system, and male reproductive system 
(OPPTS 870.3100 test guideline) would help to characterize possible 
effects of the substance. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed 
the production volume limit without performing the 90-day subchronic 
oral study.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.6205.

PMN Number P-99-0669
Chemical name: Oxirane, methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono(3,5,5,-
trimethylhexyl) ether.
CAS number: 204336-40-3.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to nonionic surfactants, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration of 600 ppb 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 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)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an 
algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substances. The fish and daphnid tests should be conducted with the 
flow-through methods and measured concentrations, and the algal test 
should be conducted with static methods and measured concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.522.

PMN Number P-99-0848
Chemical name: (generic) Alkenyl carboxylate, metal salt.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: August 2, 2000.
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 is expected to enter the environment in 
substantial quantities and may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to the environment.
Toxicity concern: Based on analogy to anionic surfactants the PMN 
substance may be toxic to aquatic organisms at concentrations as low as 
1 ppb.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that an algal toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)), an daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an 
fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)) would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substance. The fish and daphnid tests should be conducted with flow-
through methods and measured concentrations and hardness of dilution 
water with less than 180 mg/L as CaC03. The algal test 
should be conducted with static methods and measured concentrations. 
The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production volume limit 
without performing these tests.

PMN Number P-99-0873
Chemical name: (generic) Propanetriol polyalkylenepolyolamine aryl 
aldimine.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a binder for 
industrial coating. Based on additional information and structural 
analogy to schiff bases and aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 2 
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant 
environmental exposure is not expected, as the substance is not 
released to surface waters, 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 an algal toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)), a fish acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid chronic 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline (public draft)) would 
help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
The fish and daphnid tests should be conducted with the flow-through 
methods and measured concentrations and the algal test should be 
conducted with static methods and measured concentrations.

PMN Number P-99-0874
Chemical name: (generic) Modified polymer of vinyl acetate and 
quaternary ammonium compound.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a modified 
polyvinyl alcohol. Based on submitted toxicity data for other high 
molecular weight, water swellable polymers, EPA has identified health 
concerns for inhalation exposure. Since significant inhalation exposure 
is unlikely when the substance is used as identified 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 PMN may lead to inhalation 
exposure which could 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 90-day inhalation 
toxicity study with a 60-day holding period (OPPTS 870.3465 test 
guideline) would help to characterize the human health effects of the 
PMN substance. Attention should be given to the lungs, including 
histopathology of the lungs (inflamation, epithelial hyperplasia, and 
fibrosis), bronchoalvelar lavage (BAL) analysis for markers of lung 
injury, and lung burden analysis for clearance of the test material 
(EPA-748-R-96-001). The neurotoxicity components and examination of 
organs other than the lungs are not required.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.8658.

PMN Number P-99-0965
Chemical name: Furan, octafluorotetrahydro-.
CAS number: 773-14-8.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as heat transfer 
agent. EPA believes that other uses of the PMN substance are likely and 
they have the potential for more widespread environmental exposure 
causing potential atmospheric changes. EPA is concerned that such 
atmospheric changes may contribute to global warming. Since significant 
environmental exposure is unlikely, 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 may result in 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 infrared absorption, 
destruction of OH by radical and rate of production of HF for global 
warming would help to characterize the atmospheric effects of the PMN 
substance.

nitro-1-naphthalenesulfonato(4-)]-, pentasodium.
CAS number: 91144-26-2.
Basis for action: Based on structural analogues and submitted test 
data, EPA has identified health concerns for carcinogenicity and 
mutagenicity from inhalation exposure to the PMN substance. Since 
significant worker exposure is unlikely because inhalation exposure is 
not expected when the substance is used with protective equipment as 
identified 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 uses of the 
substance other than as described in the PMN may cause serious health 
effects. Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern 
criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(1)(i)(B) and (b)(1)(i)(C).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a combined chronic 
toxicity/carcinogenicity study (OPPTS 870.4300 test guideline) would 
help to characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance.

Since significant environmental exposure is not expected, as the 
substance is not released to surface waters 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 risk. 
EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the substance resulting 
in release 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)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that the results of the 
following testing would help to characterize possible environmental 
effects of the substance: A ready biodegradability test (OPPTS 835.3110 
test guideline); a fish early-life stage toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1400 
test guideline (public draft)); a mysid chronic toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.1350 test guideline (public draft)) for 21 days, flow-through 
methods and measured concentrations; and a saltwater algal toxicity 
study, tiers I and II (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
with the static methods and measured concentrations.

on structural analogy to soluble salts and test data for inorganic 
phosphates, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may 
occur at a concentration as low as 2 ppb of the PMN substances in 
surface waters. Since significant environmental exposure is not 
expected, as the substances are not released to

[[Page 15068]]

surface waters above 10 ppb, as described in the PMNs, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
substances may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the substances resulting in release to 
surface waters above 10 ppb may cause significant adverse environmental 
effects. Based on this information the PMN substances meet the concern 
criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline public draft)), and an 
algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substances. A flow-through method with measured concentrations of the 
rare earth metal is recommended for the fish and daphnid study and the 
static method with measured concentrations for green algae. In 
addition, the test dilution water and/or test medium should have a 
measured hardness of less than 180.0 mg/L as CaC03 and a 
total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of less than 2.0 mg TOC/L.

aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 30 ppb of the 
PMN substance in surface waters. Since significant worker and 
environmental exposure is unlikely when the substance is used as 
described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable 
risk. EPA has determined, however, that use of the substance other than 
as an intermediate could result in exposures which may cause serious 
health effects and significant adverse environmental effects. Based on 
this information the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  
721.170(b)(3)(ii), (b)(1)(i) (C), and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic oral 
toxicity study in rodents (OPPTS 870.3100 test guideline), with 
attention to pathology of the reproductive organs, and a 
carcinogenicity study (OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline) would help to 
characterize the health effects of the substance. In addition, the 
following acute aquatic toxicity tests would help to characterize the 
environmental effects. A fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test 
guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)). The fish and daphnid 
tests should be conducted with flow-through methods and measured 
concentrations. The algal test should be conducted with static methods 
and measured concentrations.

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 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)(iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a prenatal developmental 
toxicity study by the oral route in rats (OPPTS 870.3700 test 
guideline) would help to characterize the human health effects of the 
PMN substance.

yl]amino]phenyl]azo], trisodium salt.
CAS number: 106359-91-5.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a textile dye. 
Based on submitted test data, EPA has identified health concerns for 
mutagenicity, dermal sensitization and possible irreversible cornea 
staining; developmental toxicity and carcinogenicity based on one of 
the substituents on an azo reduction product. 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 manufacture 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)(i), (b)(l)(i)(D), and (b)(3)(iii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a prenatal developmental 
toxicity study by the oral route in rats (OPPTS 870.3700 test

Chemical name: (generic) Alkyl dialkylamino phenylsulfonyl alkenoate.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on test data for structurally similar compounds, EPA has 
identified health concerns for kidney and liver toxicity. 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 
manufacture 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)(i). Also, based on structural analogy 
to aliphatic amines, acrylates, and allylic and vinyl sulfones, 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 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 90-day subchronic oral 
study in rats (OPPTS 870.3100) would help characterize the human health 
effects of the PMN substance. Also the following aquatic toxicity test 
would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance: 
a fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public 
draft)), a daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline 
(public draft)), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test 
guideline (public draft)). The fish and daphnid tests should be 
conducted with flow-through methods and measured concentrations. The 
algal test should be conducted with static methods and measured 
concentrations, dilution water total organic carbon TOC < 2.0 mg TOC/L 
dilution water hardness < 180.0 mg/L as CaC03.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.648.

PMN Number P-00-0827
Chemical name: 1-propanol, 3-propoxy-.
CAS number: 4161-22-2.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified health concerns for liver toxicity based on 
submitted test data and neurotoxicity based on the solvent properties 
of the substance. Since significant worker exposure is unlikely, when 
the substance is used with protective equipment 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 substance other than as 
described in the PMN including handling the material without the use of 
impervious gloves 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)(i) and (b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic oral 
study (OPPTS 870.3100 test guideline), and a prenatal developmental 
toxicity study (OPPTS 870.3700 test guideline) would help to 
characterize the health effects of the substance.

4)-.
CAS number: 56553-60-7.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to other boron compounds, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 300 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 300 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 water above 300 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 (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an 
algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) 
would help to

characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. The fish 
and daphnid tests should be conducted with flow-through methods and 
measured concentrations. The algal test should be conducted with static 
methods and measured concentrations. Dilution water hardness less than 
180.0 mg/L as CaC03.

dihydro-3-phenyl-1,3-benzoxazine].
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as resin for 
structural composites and electronic laminates. EPA has identified 
health and environmental concerns because the substance is potentially 
a PBT chemical. 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 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)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of the tiered 
testing as described in the New Chemicals Program's PBT Category (63 FR 
60194; November 4, 1999) would help to characterized the properties of 
the substance. EPA has also determined that the results of the 
following aquatic toxicity tests: a fish chronic toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.1400 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid chronic toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)), would 
help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
The fish and daphnid tests should be conducted with flow-through 
methods and measured concentrations, dilution water hardness < 180.0 
mg/L as CaC03. The algal test should be conducted with 
static methods and measured concentrations.

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to aliphatic amines, 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 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 (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute

PMN Number P-00-1087
Chemical name: (generic) Di-alkyl borane.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to organoborane compounds, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 200 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 200 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 200 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 (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an

PMN Number P-00-1089
Chemical name: (generic) Alkali metal alkyl borohydride.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to organoborane compounds, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 300 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 (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an

PMN Number P-00-1132
Chemical name: (generic) Siloxanes and silicones, aminoalkyl, 
fluorooctyl, hydroxy-terminated salt.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used in anti-graffiti 
systems as described in the PMN. Based on structural analogy to 
perfluoro alkyl polycationic polymers, EPA has identified health 
concerns for lung toxicity from inhalation exposure. Since

[[Page 15076]]

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 cause significant adverse 
effects. 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. In addition, EPA has identified health 
concerns for potential incineration products for the PMN substance 
based on analogy to perfluorinated octane sulfonate (PFOS) and 
perfluorinated octanoic acid (PFOA). These incineration products are 
PBT. 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 inhalation 
toxicity study in rats with a 60-day holding period (OPPTS 870.3465 
test guideline) would help characterize the human health effects of the 
PMN substance. Special attention should be given to histopathology 
(inflammation and cell proliferation) of the lung tissues and to 
various parameters of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), e.g., 
marker enzyme activities, total protein content, total cell count, cell 
differential, and cell viability. It is not necessary to look at 
internal organs. The Agency has also determined that the following 
tests would help characterize fate and ecotoxicity of the PMN 
substance: A Decomposition Kinetics by Thermogravimeter (ASTM E1641), a 
Compositional Analysis by Thermogravimeter (ASTM E1131), and a 
Laboratory ``Burn'' test - protocol to be agreed upon by EPA and the 
Company. The purpose of this test is to determine the disposition of 
the material and to identify degradates, especially the presence of 
components that can lead to the formation of perfluofo alkyl carboxylic 
acid after burning or incineration.

PMN Number P-00-1195
Chemical name: Xanthylium, 9-(2-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl)-3,6-
bis(ethylamino)-2,7- dimethyl-, ethyl sulfate.
CAS number: 26694-69-9.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a dye for complex 
basic dye pigment manufacture. Based on submitted test data for an 
analog, EPA has identified health concerns for toxic effects to the 
liver and heart. 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 risk. EPA has determined, however, that domestic 
manufacture or use of the PMN substance other than as an intermediate 
could result in serious health effects. Also, based on structural 
analogy to cationic dyes, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic 
organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 2 ppb of the PMN 
substance in surface waters. Since significant environmental exposure 
is not expected when the PMN substance is used as described in the PMN, 
EPA has not determined that the proposed use of the substance may 
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that use of 
the substance 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)(3)(ii) and 
(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that an acute oral toxicity 
study (40 CFR part 799.9110(d)(1)(i)(A)), a Salmonella typhimurium 
reverse mutation assay (OPPTS 870.5100 test guideline), a 28-day oral 
toxicity study Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 
(OECD) guideline no. 407 or OPPTS 870.3050 test guideline), and an in 
vivo mammalian cytogenetics test by the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route: 
micronucleus assay (OPPTS 870.5395 test guideline) would help to 
characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance. EPA has 
also determined that a fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test 
guideline (public draft)), a daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.1010 test guideline (public draft)), and an algal acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline (public draft)) would help to 
characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. The fish 
and daphnid tests should be conducted with flow-through methods and 
measured concentration. The algal test should be conducted with static 
methods and measured concentration. Dilution water hardness < 180 mg/L 
as CaC03.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2465.

PMN Number P-01-0432
Chemical name: (generic) Bis heterocyclic phenylene derivative.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a reactive modifier 
for polymeric substances. EPA has identified health concerns for 
neurotoxicity, developmental toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, 
lung and liver toxicity, and sensitization based on test data. Since 
significant worker exposure is unlikely because there would not be 
significant inhalation exposure for the use identified in the PMN, EPA 
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use 
of the substance as described in the PMN present an unreasonable risk. 
EPA has determined, however, that an increase in production volume over 
that described in the PMN could result in significant exposure to human 
health. Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern 
criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(ii) and (b)(1)(i)(A).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a mouse micronucleus test 
by the i.p. route (OPPTS 870.5395 test guideline) and a 28-day oral 
toxicity in rats OECD guideline number 407 or (OPPTS 870.3050) with a 
Functional Observational Battery (FOB) would help to characterize the 
health effects of the substance. If the above tests indicate a health 
concern, then the following tests may be necessary to qualify the 
potential health effects: a 90-day subchronic oral study in rats (OPPT 
870.3100 test guideline), a prenatal development toxicity study by oral 
route in two species (OPPTS 870.3700 test guideline), a reproduction 
and fertility effects (OPPTS 870.3800 test guideline), and a 
carcinogenicity study (OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5925.

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 3 of the 62 
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 59 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

[[Page 15077]]

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 May 27, 2003, unless EPA 
receives a written notice by April 28, 2003 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 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 3 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

[[Page 15078]]

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, 41 
of the 62 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 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 SNUN 
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 public docket.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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.
    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 in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal 
Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related 
collection instrument or form, if applicable.
    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 
SNUN 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 
SNUN.
    Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and 
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director, 
Collection Strategies Division, Office of Environmental Information 
(2822T), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Washington, DC 20460-0001. Please remember to include the OMB control 
number in any correspondence, but do not submit any completed forms to 
this address.
    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 900 SNURs, the 
Agency has received fewer than 25 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 it's 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.
    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 affect 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).
    This action will not 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).
    This rule does not have tribal implications because it is not 
expected to have substantial direct effects on

[[Page 15079]]

Indian Tribes. This does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
communities of Indian tribal governments, nor does it involve or impose 
any requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the 
requirements of Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6, 
2000), do not apply to this rule.
    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.
    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because this action 
is not expected to affect energy supply, distribution, or use.
    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.
    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).
    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 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.
    In issuing this 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).

XI. Congressional Review Act

    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).
