RIN 2070-AB27


Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances; 
Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 20, 
2019 for 145 chemical substances that were the subject of 
premanufacture notices (PMNs). For the chemical substances that were 
the subjects of PMNs P-17-33, P-17-87, P-17-88 and P-17-101, EPA 
inadvertently listed incorrect Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry 
Numbers. This document is being issued to correct these errors.

DATES: This technical correction is effective on October 22, 2019.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0366, is 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), West William Jefferson Clinton 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-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What does this technical correction do?

    EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 20, 2019 
(84 FR 43266) (FRL-9994-72) for significant new uses for 145 chemical 
substances that were the subject of PMN notices. EPA included the wrong 
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Numbers for four of the 
chemical substances listed in the significant new use rules (SNURs) 
codified in 40 CFR 721.11053 (PMN P-17-33 and P-17-87), 40 CFR 
721.11054 (PMN P-17-88) and 721.11055 (PMN P-17-101). This action 
corrects these errors as follows:
     In Table 1 to 40 CFR 721.11053--Halogenated Sodium 
Benzoate Salts, the CAS number for PMN P-17-33 is corrected from 6654-
64-4 to 490-97-1 and the CAS number for PMN P-17-87 is corrected from 
938142-13-2 to 1938142-13-2.
     In Table 1 to 40 CFR 721.11054--Halogenated Benzoic Acids, 
the CAS number for PMN P-17-88 will be corrected from 11007-16-5 to 
1007-16-5.
     In Table 1 to 40 CFR 721.11055--Halogenated Benzoic Acid 
Ethyl Esters, the CAS number for PMN P-17-101 is corrected from 351354-
50-2 to 139911-28-7.

II. Why is this correction issued as a final rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B)) provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that 
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary 
to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without 
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has 
determined that there is good cause for making this technical 
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment. 
Correcting the wrong CAS Registry numbers listed in the August 20, 2019 
SNUR is necessary for the proper identification of the chemical 
substances. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B).

III. Do any of the statutory and Executive Order reviews apply to this 
action?

    No. For a detailed discussion concerning the statutory and 
Executive Order review, refer to Unit XII. of the August 20, 2019 final 
rule.

IV. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Pursuant to the CRA (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA will submit a 
report containing this 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 rule in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
