40 CFR Part 721

[OPPT-2002-0078; FRL-7307-3]
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 65 
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices 
(PMNs) and subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. 
This action requires persons who intend to manufacture, import, or 
process these chemical substances for a significant new use to notify 
EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacturing or processing 
of the chemical substance for a use designated by this rule as a 
significant new use. The required notification will provide EPA with 
the opportunity to evaluate the intended

[[Page 70156]]

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.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is February 17, 2004, without 
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse or critical comments, or 
notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments before January 
16, 2004. This rule shall be promulgated for purposes of judicial 
review at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on December 31, 2003.
    If EPA receives adverse or critical comments or notice of intent to 
submit adverse or critical comments before January 16, 2004, 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 chemical substance for which the adverse or 
critical comment or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical 
comment is received and will issue a proposed SNUR providing a 30-day 
period for public comment.

ADDRESSES: Adverse or critical 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.

will be placed in EPA's electronic public docket along with a brief 
description written by the docket staff.

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-20027-0078. 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-2002-0078. 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 Bldg., Rm. 6428, 1201 
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. Attention: Docket ID Number 
OPPT-2002-0078. The DCO is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through 
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 in this 
document, new approaches we haven't considered, the potential impacts

Register citation.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is promulgating this SNUR using direct final procedures. This 
SNUR will require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before 
commencing manufacturing, importing, or processing a chemical 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.

[[Page 70158]]

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 TSCA section 5(a)(2). Once 
EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new 
use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a notice to EPA 
at least 90 days before they manufacture, import, or process the 
chemical 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 
TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). 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 chemical 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 appear 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 
chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical substance, the tests are described in this unit. 
As explained further in Unit VI., the SNUR for such chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical substances, 
testing other than that specified in the TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order for the chemical substances, or studies on analogous chemical 
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 99-255, 99-314, 99-350/351/
352/353, 99-534,99-848, 00-277/278/280, 00-281-285, 00-286-292, 00-502/
503/504, 00-574/575/576/577/608,00-901, 00-1085, 00-1093, 01-558, 01-
584, 01-629, 01-728, 01-757, 01-776, 02-16, 02-195, 02-415, 02-536, 02-
609, and 02-700, which are subject to a final TSCA section 5(e) consent 
order. The TSCA section 5(e) consent orders for these chemical 
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 chemical 
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 chemical substances which are subject to a final 
section 5(e) consent order under TSCA.

PMN Number P-97-1108
Chemical name: (generic) Polycarboxylic acid ester.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a plasticizer. 
Based on structural analogy to esters, EPA is concerned that toxicity 
to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 1 part per 
billion (ppb) of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since

[[Page 70159]]

environmental releases are not expected as described in the PMN, EPA 
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use 
of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that release of the PMN substance 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 chronic toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline), a daphnid chronic toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the environmental 
effects of the PMN substance. A porous pot study (OPPTS 835.3220 test 
guideline) would help to characterize possible environmental effects of 
the PMN substance as well.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3110.
PMN Number P-98-848
Chemical name: Silicic acid 
(H6SiO2O7), magnesium strontium 
salt(1:1:2), dysprosium and europium-doped.
CAS number: 181828-07-9.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: June 1, 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 the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk to 
human health.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic 
inhalation study (OPPTS 870.3465 test guideline) and a 2-year bioassay 
(OPPTS 870.4200) would help to characterize the human health effects of 
the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9511.
PMN Number P-98-1033/1034/1035
Chemical name: (generic) Halogen substituted oxetanes.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: April 6, 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)(II) of TSCA based on a 
finding that these PMN substances are expected to be produced in 
substantial quantities, there may be significant or substantial human 
exposure to the PMN substances, and the PMN substances may enter the 
environment in substantial quantities.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the following studies 
would help to characterize the health effects of these PMN substances: 
A 28-day oral toxicity study in rats (OPPTS 870.3050) that includes a 
neurotoxicity functional observational battery (National Technical 
Information Service (NTIS): PB 91-154617) for all test doses with the 
highest dose set at 1,000 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg), and for the 
highest test dose group only, histopathologic examination to include 
testes/ovaries and lungs; an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay 
(intraperitoneal) (OPPTS 870.5395); and an oral developmental toxicity 
study in one species (OPPTS 870.3700). EPA has determined that a fish 
acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075), a daphnid acute toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.1010), and an algal acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of these PMN 
substances. The PMN submitter has agreed not to exceed the production 
volume limit without performing these toxicity studies using P-98-1033.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5546.
PMN Number P-99-783
Chemical name: (generic) Chromate(2-), [3-hydroxy-4-[(2-hydroxy-1-
naphthenyl)azo]-7-nitro-1- substituted][N-[7-hydroxy-8-[(2-hydroxy-5-
nitrophenyl)azo]-1-substituted]-, salt.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used for the dyeing of wool 
fiber. Based on structural analogy to anionic dyes, EPA is concerned 
that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low 
as 7 part per billion (ppb) of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
Since significant environmental exposure is not expected as described 
in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable 
risk. EPA has determined, however, that release of the PMN substance to 
surface waters in significant amounts from domestic manufacture 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 daphnid acute toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline), and an algal toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substance. A stock solution should be 
prepared and its pH adjusted to 7.0 prior to testing. The dilution 
water of the daphnid acute toxicity test should have a hardness of less 
than 180.0 mg/liter(L) as CaCO3 and a total organic carbon 
(TOC) concentration of less than 2.0 mg TOC/L. The green algal growth 
medium should also have a TOC of less than 2.0 mg TOC/L. The daphnid 
test should be done with a flow-through method and measured 
concentrations. The algal toxicity test should be done with the static 
method and measured concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.5288.
PMN Number P-99-817
Chemical name: (generic) Salt of an acrylic acid - acrylamide 
terpolymer
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to polyanionic polymers, EPA has 
identified concerns for lung toxicity from respiratory overload if the 
PMN substance is inhaled. Since significant human exposure is unlikely 
when the PMN substance is used as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that use of the PMN substance as a solid may result in 
significant human exposure. Based on this information, the PMN 
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the 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), bronchoalveolar 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.

Chemical name: (generic) Substituted benzothiazole-azo-substituted 
benzoquinoline nickel complex.
CAS number: Not available
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a material for 
optical disks. Based on analogy to nickel, EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 5 
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. Since environmental 
releases are not expected as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that release of the PMN substance to surface waters may cause 
significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a surfactant in a 
toilet bowl cleaner. Based on structural analogy to anionic 
surfactants, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms from 
the PMN substance may occur at a concentration of 50 ppb in surface 
waters. Since significant environmental releases are not expected, as 
described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed 
manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the 
PMN substance could result in releases to surface waters resulting in 
significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information

indene-5,?- diyl)bis(methylene) ester.
CAS number: 43048-08-4.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coating agent for 
resin curing. Based on analogy to methacrylates and esters, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms from the PMN substance may 
occur at a concentration as low as 5 ppb in surface waters. EPA 
determined that use of the PMN substance as described in the PMN did 
not present an unreasonable risk because the PMN substance is imported 
and would not be released to surface waters. EPA has determined that 
domestic manufacturing and other uses of the PMN substance may result 
in releases to surface waters which exceed the concern concentration. 
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 chronic toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline), a daphnid chronic toxicity study

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a reactive additive 
for polymers. Based on structural analogy to azides, 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 as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that any release of the PMN substance 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). Also, based on submitted test data, EPA has 
identified concerns for blood, kidney and lung toxicity from inhalation 
exposure to the PMN substance. Since significant human exposure is 
unlikely when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that 
the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance 
may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that use 
of the

PMN substance as a powder may result in significant human exposure. 
Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria 
at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(i).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish chronic toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline), a daphnid chronic toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the environmental 
effects of the PMN substance. The fish and daphnid tests should use a 
flow-through method and measured concentrations. The algal toxicity 
test should use the static method and measured concentrations. A 90-day 
inhalation toxicity study (OPPTS 870.3465 test guideline) would help to 
characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance.

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to halo alcohols, 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 environmental 
releases are not expected as the PMN substance is not released to 
surface waters above 3 ppb, as described in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the PMN substance resulting in release to 
surface waters above 3 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).

PMN. Based on structural analogy to anionic surfactants, 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 releases are not expected, as described 
in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable 
risk to the environment. EPA has determined, however, that other uses 
of the PMN substance resulting in release to surface waters in 
significant amounts, may cause significant adverse environmental 
effects. Based on this information the PMN substance meets the concern 
criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii). Also, based on structural 
analogues, EPA has identified concerns for lung effects from inhalation 
exposure to the PMN substance. Since significant human exposure is 
unlikely for the use described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that 
the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance 
may present an unreasonable risk to human health. EPA has determined, 
however, that other uses of the PMN substance, may result in 
significant human exposure. 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 fish acute toxicity

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an oilfield 
drilling fluid, an oilfield spacer fluid, in oilfield cementing, in 
cementitious packaged products, in concrete applications, and in foam 
applications. Based on structural analogues and submitted test data, 
EPA has identified concerns for lung effects from inhalation exposure 
to the PMN substance. Since significant inhalation exposure is unlikely 
when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the 
proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance may

PMN Number P-00-636
Chemical name: (generic) Alkylated nitroso-phenylenediamine.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a polymerization 
inhibitor. Based on test data for the PMN substance and analogy to 
structurally similar compounds, EPA has identified human health 
concerns for systemic effects, reproductive effects, and cancer from 
dermal exposure to the PMN substance. Since significant worker exposure 
is unlikely when the PMN substance is used as described in the PMN, EPA 
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use 
of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that use of the PMN substance without dermal 
protection could result in worker exposures which may cause significant 
adverse human health effects. Based on this information the PMN 
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(i), 
(b)(3)(ii), and (b)(1)(i)(C).
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that the results of a 2-
generation reproduction/fertility effects study (OPPTS 870.3800 test 
guideline) and a carcinogenicity study (OPPTS 870.4200 test guideline) 
would help to characterize possible human health effects of the PMN 
substance.

PMN Number P-00-838
Chemical name: (generic) Substituted alkyl sulfonamide.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used for a contained use in 
an article. Based on structural analogy to neutral organic compounds, 
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 PMN 
substance is not released to surface waters above 1 ppb, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed processing and use of the PMN substance 
may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that 
releases 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 a 
fish chronic toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline) would help 
to characterize possible environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
This test should be conducted with flow-through conditions and measured 
concentrations.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9572.
PMN Number P-00-912
Chemical name: (generic) Epoxy resin containing phosphorus.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified health concerns for carcinogenicity, 
reproductive toxicity in males, and developmental toxicity based on 
structural analogy to epoxides. EPA also identified health and 
environmental concerns because the PMN substance may be persistent, 
bioaccumulative, and potentially toxic based on physical/chemical 
properties of the PMN substance as described in the New Chemical 
Program's Persistent, Bioiaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Category (64 FR 
60194, FRL-6907-7, November 4, 1999). Since significant worker and 
environmental exposure is

[[Page 70163]]

unlikely when used as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that 
the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN 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 chronic effects and 
significant environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN 
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170 (b)(l)(i)(C), 
(b)(3)(ii), and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of the tiered 
testing as described in the New Chemical Program's PBT Category would 
help to characterize the PBT properties of the PMN substance. EPA has 
also determined that a fish chronic toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1400 test 
guideline), a daphnid chronic toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1300 test 
guideline), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline) 
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. In addition, 
a 2-year, two-species oral carcinogenicity study (OPPTS 870.4200 test 
guideline) and a 90-day oral subchronic in rats (OPPTS 870.3100 test 
guideline), with attention to pathology of the reproductive organs, 
would help to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P-00-966
Chemical name: (generic) Haloarylalkylketoester.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an agricultural 
product intermediate. Toxicity data on structurally similar esters 
indicate that the PMN substance may cause toxicity to aquatic 
organisms. Based on this data, EPA expects toxicity to aquatic 
organisms to occur at a concentration as low as 200 ppb of the PMN 
substance in surface waters. Since environmental releases to surface 
waters are not expected to exceed 200 ppb, EPA has not determined that 
the proposed processing and use of the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that if releases to 
surface waters were to exceed a concentration of 200 ppb, the PMN 
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: The Agency has determined that an algal toxicity 
test (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline), an aquatic invertebrate acute 
toxicity test (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline), and a fish acute 
toxicity test (OPPTS 850.1075 test guideline) would help to 
characterize possible environmental effects of the PMN substance. Ready 
biodegradation testing (OPPTS 835.3110 test guideline) would help to 
characterize possible environmental effects of the PMN substance as 
well. The aquatic toxicity tests should be conducted with flow-through 
conditions and measured concentrations.

oxide.
CAS number: 300371-38-4.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used in the manufacturing 
of composites. Based on structural analogy to epoxides, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a 
concentration as low as 6 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 above 6 ppb, as described 
in the PMNs, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the PMN substances may present an unreasonable 
risk. EPA has determined, however, that other uses of the PMN 
substances resulting in release to surface waters above 6 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), a daphnid acute toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline), and an algal acute toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substances.

PMN Number P-00-1055
Chemical name: (generic) Sulfonated-copper phthalocyanine salt of a 
triarylmethane dye
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a shading additive 
for ink. Based on analogy to cationic dyes, 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 PMN substance is not 
released to surface waters above 1 ppb, as described in the PMN, EPA 
has not determined that proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of 
the use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that other uses of the PMN substance resulting in 
release to surface waters above 1 ppb may cause significant adverse 
environmental effects. Also, based on analogy to triarylmethane 
pigments and dyes, EPA has identified health concerns for mutagenicity 
and cancer effects from inhalation exposure to the PMN substance. Since 
significant inhalation exposure is unlikely when the PMN substance is 
used described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed 
manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an

use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA 
determined, however, that use of the PMN substance other than as an 
intermediate may 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) and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day subchronic 
inhalation study in rodents (OPPTS 870.3465 test guideline) and a 
cardiac sensitization study 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), a daphnid acute 
toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test guideline), and an algal toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substance.

PMN Number P-01-441
Chemical name: (generic) Modified phenolic resin
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified environmental concerns because the PMN 
substance may be persistent, bioaccumulative, and potentially toxic 
based on physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance as described 
in the New Chemical Program's PBT Category. EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 9 
ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters based on structural analogy 
to phenols. Since 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 PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has

[[Page 70168]]

determined, however, that other uses of the PMN 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 tiered 
testing as described in the New Chemical Program's PBT Category would 
help to characterize the PBT properties of the PMN substance. EPA has 
also determined that a fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test 
guideline), a daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test 
guideline), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test guideline) 
would help to characterize the environmental effects of the PMN 
substance.

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to epoxides, 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 not expected as the PMN substance is not 
released to surface water above 6 ppb, as described in the PMN, EPA has 
not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of 
the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that use of the PMN substance other than as described in the 
PMN could cause releases to surface waters above 6 ppb which 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 chronic toxicity 
study (OPPTS 850.1400 test guideline), a daphnid chronic toxicity study 
(OPPTS 850.1300 test guideline), and an algal toxicity study (OPPTS 
850.5400 test guideline) would help to characterize the environmental 
effects of the PMN substance. The fish and daphnid tests should be 
conducted with flow-through conditions and measured concentrations. The 
algae test should be conducted with static conditions and nominal 
concentrations.

Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on structural analogy to polyphenols, EPA is concerned that 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at a concentration as low as 20 
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 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that any 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 described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified environmental concerns because the PMN 
substance may be persistent, bioaccumulative, and potentially toxic 
based on physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance as described 
in the New Chemical Program's PBT category. 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 based on submitted test

Chemical name: Silane, triethoxy[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-
CAS number: 2602-34-8.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified health concerns for carcinogenicity based on 
analogy to epoxides. EPA has concerns also for mutagenicity, 
developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, irritation, and 
sensitization based on analogy to trimethoxy silane derivatives. Since 
significant worker exposure is unlikely, when the PMN substance is used 
as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed 
manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that use of the PMN 
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)(C) and (b)(3)(ii) . Also, based on 
structural analogy to epoxides, 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 environmental exposure is not 
expected as the PMN substance is not released to surface waters above 
10 ppb, as described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the 
proposed manufacturing, processing and use of the PMN substance may 
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that 
releases 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 combined chronic

PMN Number P-01-833
Chemical name: (generic) Polyethyleneamine crosslinked with substituted 
polyethylene glycol.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an absorbent 
polymer. Based on toxicity data for other high molecular weight, water 
swellable polymers, EPA has identified potential lung toxicity from 
inhalation exposure. Since significant inhalation exposure is unlikely 
when the PMN substance is used as identified in the PMN, EPA has not 
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, and use of the 
PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that use of the PMN substance other than as described in 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), 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.

to the testes. Also, based on structural analogy to the azo reduction 
product, EPA has concerns for developmental toxicity, hemolytic anemia, 
kidney toxicity, liver toxicity, spleen toxicity, and irreversible 
ocular phototoxicity. Since significant inhalation exposure to workers 
is unlikely for the use described in the PMN, EPA has not determined 
that manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance as 
described in the PMN may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has 
determined, however, that use of the PMN substance as a solid 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 prenatal developmental 
toxicity study by the oral route in two species (OPPTS 870.3700 test 
guideline) would help to characterize the human health effects of the

PMN Number P-02-90
Chemical name: (generic) Nickel, cobalt mixed metal oxide.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. EPA has identified health concerns for developmental toxicity, 
mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, cardiotoxicity, immunotoxicity, 
neurotoxicity, and allergenicity based on the presence of various metal 
oxides as well as lung effects from exposure to insoluble particles and 
pulmonary carcinogenicity due to the crystalline nature of the PMN 
material. 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 PMN substance may cause 
significant adverse effects. EPA has determined, however, that domestic 
manufacture or use of the PMN substance other than as described in the 
PMN may result in serious health effects. Based on this information, 
the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  
721.170(b)(3)(ii).

Chemical name: Piperdinium, 1,1-dimethyl-, chloride.
CAS number: 24307-26-4.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on submitted test data, EPA has identified health concerns 
for neurotoxicity and chronic toxic effects for the PMN substance. 
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 PMN substance may cause significant adverse 
effects. EPA has determined, however, that use of the PMN substance 
other than as described in the PMN may result in serious health 
effects. Also, based on structural analogy to cationic surfactants, EPA 
is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at surface 
water concentrations as low as 300 ppb of the PMN substance in surface 
waters. Since environmental releases are not expected as described in 
the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, 
processing, and use of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable 
risk. EPA has determined, however, that release of the PMN substance to 
surface water may cause significant adverse environmental effects. 
Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria 
at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(i), and (b)(4)(ii).

PMN Number P-02-262
Chemical name: (generic) Substituted benzophenone.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on analogy to benzophenones, EPA has identified health 
concerns for neurotoxicity and liver toxicity. Since significant worker 
exposure is unlikely when the PMN substance is used as described in the 
PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed processing, and use of 
the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, 
however, that domestic manufacture of the PMN substance 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). Also, based on structural analogy to neutral organic 
chemicals, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may 
occur at a concentration as low as 20 ppb of the PMN substance in 
surface waters. Since environmental releases are not expected as 
described in the PMN, EPA has not determined that the proposed 
manufacturing, processing and use of the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any release of the 
PMN substance to surface water 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 oral

[[Page 70171]]

subchronic study in rats (OPPTS 870.3465 test guideline) would help 
characterize the human health effects of the PMN substance. EPA has 
also determined that a fish acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1075 test 
guideline), a daphnid acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.1010 test 
guideline), and an algal acute toxicity study (OPPTS 850.5400 test 
guideline) would help to characterize the environmental effects of the 
PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1747.

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 65 
chemical 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 
chemical 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 chemical substances 
listed in this document are consistent with the provisions of the TSCA 
section 5(e) consent orders.
    In the other 60 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 chemical 
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 chemical 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 17, 2004, 
unless EPA receives a written notice by January 16, 2004, of adverse or 
critical comments, or notice of intent to submit 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 
chemical substance to which the adverse or critical comments apply. EPA 
will then propose a SNUR for the specific chemical substance providing 
a 30-day comment period.
    This action establishes SNURs for a number of chemical substances. 
Any person who submits adverse or critical comments or notice of intent 
to submit adverse or critical comments, must identify the chemical 
substance and the new use to which it applies. EPA will not withdraw a 
SNUR for a chemical substance not identified in a notice.

VI. Test Data and Other Information

    EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 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 chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical substances.
    3. Information on risks posed by the chemical 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 chemical 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 in Sec.  721.1725(b)(1), a manufacturer or importer must show 
that it has a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the chemical 
substance and must identify the specific use for which it intends to 
manufacture or import the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that the 
person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the 
chemical 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 chemical substances

[[Page 70172]]

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 chemical 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 chemical 
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 chemical 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 chemical 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 chemical substance has not 
been added to the TSCA Inventory, no other person may commence such 
activities without first submitting a PMN. For chemical 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 chemical 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, 45 of the 65 chemical 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 
chemical 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 chemical 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 substances subject to this rule. EPA's complete economic 
analysis is available in the public docket.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

1. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    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.

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    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, 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.

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    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

[[Page 70173]]

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 1,000 SNURs, the Agency receives on average only 
10 notices per year. 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.

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    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).

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    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).

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have Tribal implications because it is not 
expected to have substantial direct effects on 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.

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    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.

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    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.

9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    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.

10. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    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).

11. Executive Order 12630: Governmental Actions and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings)

    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.

12. Executive Order 12988: Civil Justice Reform

    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).

13. 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).
