Toxic Substances Control Act Chemical Testing; Receipt of Test
Data
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's receipt of test data on 21
chemicals. These data were submitted pursuant to 3 test rules issued by
EPA under section 4 of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). The
purpose of this notice is to alert the public about test data received
between June 29, 2011, and July 31, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are concerned about data
on health and/or environmental effects and other characteristics of the
chemicals. Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has
not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.
B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?
All documents in the dockets are available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection Agency Docket Center
(EPA/DC), EPA West Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone
number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone
number for the OPPT Docket is (202) 566-0280. Please review the visitor
instructions and additional information about the docket available at
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
II. Test Data Submissions
Section 4(d) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2603(d)) requires EPA to publish a
notice in the Federal Register reporting the receipt of test data
submitted pursuant to test rules promulgated under TSCA section 4(a)
(15 U.S.C. 2603(a)). Each notice must:
1. Identify the chemical substance or mixture for which data have
been received.
2. List the uses or intended uses of such chemical substance or
mixture and the information required by the applicable standards for
the development of test data.
[[Page 66701]]
3. Describe the nature of the test data developed.
EPA has received test data for the following three test rules:
EPA received data on 4 chemicals listed in the TSCA
section 4 test rule entitled ``Testing for Certain High Production
Volume Chemicals,'' published in the Federal Register issue of March
16, 2006 (71 FR 13708) (FRL-7335-2) (docket identification (ID) number
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0033).
EPA received data on 12 chemicals listed in the TSCA
section 4 test rule entitled ``Testing for Certain High Production
Volume Chemicals; Second Group of Chemicals'' published in the Federal
Register issue of January 7, 2011 (76 FR 1067) (FRL-8846-9) (docket ID
number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0531).
EPA received data on 5 chemicals listed in the TSCA
section 4 test rule entitled ``Testing for Certain High Production
Volume Chemicals; Third Group of Chemicals,'' published in the Federal
Register issue of October 21, 2011 (76 FR 65385) (FRL-8885-5) (docket
ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0112).
The tables in this unit contain the described information required
by TSCA section 4(d). See the applicable CFR citations, listed in the
title of each table, for test data requirements. Data received can be
found by referencing the docket ID numbers and document numbers listed
in the tables. See Unit I.B. of this document for additional
information about dockets. EPA reviews of test data are added to the
appropriate docket upon completion.
