Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19-5.F)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances
that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). The SNURs
require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing
manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any
of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a
significant new use in the SNUR. The required notification initiates
EPA's evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that
chemical substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may
not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use
until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), and EPA
has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination
on the notice, and has taken any risk management actions as are
required as a result of that determination.
DATES: This rule is effective on March 7, 2025. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (EST) on
January 21, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0530, is available online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(2) (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 the factors in TSCA section 5(a)(2) (see
also the discussion in Unit II.).
B. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is finalizing SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for chemical
substances that were the subject of PMNs P-16-541, P-17-299, P-18-172,
P-19-99, P-19-118, and P-19-120. The SNURs require persons who intend
to manufacture or process any of these chemical substances for an
activity that is designated as a significant new use in the SNURs to
notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity.
Previously, in the Federal Register of December 6, 2019 (84 FR
66855) (FRL-10001-48), EPA proposed SNURs for these chemical substances
along with nineteen other SNURs. EPA finalized the proposed SNURs for
P-17-393, P-19-86, P-19-87, P-19-89, P-19-90, P-19-91, P-19-92, P-19-
93, P-19-97, P-19-100, P-19-101, P-19-102, P-19-103, P-19-104, P-19-
105, P-19-106, P-19-107, P-19-108, and P-19-110 in a previous Federal
Register notice of August 18, 2021 (86 FR 46133) (FRL-8000-02-OCSPP).
EPA is not currently finalizing the SNURs for the chemical substances
which were the subject of PMNs P-18-387 and P-18-388 and will address
these SNURs in a future notice in order to consider new information
about exposures. More information on the specific chemical substances
subject to this final rule can be found in the Federal Register
document proposing the SNURs. The docket includes information
considered by the Agency in developing the proposed and final rules,
including the public comments received on the proposed rules that are
described in Unit II.
C. Does this action apply to me?
1. General Applicability
This action may apply to you if you manufacture (defined by statute
to include import), process, or use the chemical substances addressed
in this Federal Register document. The following list of North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine
whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities
may include:
Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject
chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
2. Applicability to Importers and Exporters
This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing
import certification and export notification requirements under TSCA.
Chemical importers are subject to TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612), the
import provisions promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 (see also
19 CFR 127.28), and the EPA policy in support of import certification
at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. Importers of chemical substances in bulk
form, as part of a mixture, or as part of an article (if required by
rule) must certify that the shipment of the chemical substance complies
with all applicable rules and Orders under TSCA, including regulations
issued under TSCA sections 5, 6, 7 and Title IV.
In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, any persons who export or
intend to export a chemical substance identified in this document are
subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15
U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply with the export
notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.
D. What are the estimated incremental impacts of this action?
EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
reporting requirements for potential manufacturers (including
importers) and processors of the chemical substances included in these
SNURs. This analysis, which is available in the docket, is briefly
summarized here.
1. Estimated Costs for SNUN Submissions
If a SNUN is submitted, costs are an estimated $45,000 per SNUN
submission for large business submitters and $14,500 for small business
submitters. These estimates include the cost to prepare and submit the
SNUN (including registration for EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX)),
and the payment of a user fee. Businesses that submit a SNUN would be
subject to either a $37,000 user fee required by 40 CFR
700.45(c)(2)(ii) and (d), or, if they are a small business as defined
at 13 CFR 121.201, a reduced user fee of $6,480 (40 CFR
700.45(c)(1)(ii) and (d)) per fiscal year 2022. The costs of submission
for SNUNs will not be incurred by any company unless a company decides
to pursue a significant new use as defined in these SNURs.
Additionally, these estimates reflect the costs and fees as they are
known at the time of this rulemaking.
2. Estimated Costs for Export Notifications
EPA has also evaluated the potential costs associated with the
export notification requirements under TSCA section 12(b) and the
implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. For persons
exporting a substance that is the subject of a SNUR, a one-time notice
to EPA must be provided for the first export or intended export to a
particular country. The total costs of export notification will vary by
chemical, depending on the number of required notifications (i.e., the
number of countries to which the chemical is exported). While EPA is
unable to make any estimate of the likely number of export
notifications for the chemical substances covered by these SNURs, as
stated in the accompanying economic analysis, the estimated cost of the
export notification requirement on a per unit basis is approximately
$106.
II. Background
Unit II. of the proposed rule provides general information about
SNURs, and additional information about EPA's new chemical program is
available at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.
[[Page 569]]
A. Significant New Uses Claimed as Confidential Business Information
(CBI)
EPA is establishing certain significant new uses which have been
claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR
part 2 and 40 CFR part 703. Absent a final determination or other
disposition of the confidentiality claim under these regulations, EPA
is required to keep this information confidential. EPA promulgated a
procedure at 40 CFR 721.11 to deal with the situation where a specific
significant new use is CBI.
Under these procedures a manufacturer or processor may request EPA
to identify the confidential significant new use under the rule. The
manufacturer or processor must show that it has a bona fide intent to
manufacture or process the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that
the person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or process the
chemical substance, EPA will identify the confidential significant new
use to that person. Since most of the chemical identities of the
chemical substances subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers
and processors can combine the bona fide submission under the procedure
in 40 CFR 721.11 into a single step.
B. Applicability of the Significant New Use Designation
Any use that EPA determines in the final rule was ongoing as of the
date of publication of the proposal and did not cease prior to issuance
of the final rule, will not be designated as a significant new use in
the final rule. EPA has no information to suggest that any of the
significant new uses identified in this rule meet those criteria.
As discussed in the Federal Register of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376
(FRL-3658-5)), EPA believes that the intent of TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B)
is best served by designating a use as a significant new use as of the
date of publication of the proposed rule rather than as of the
effective date of the final rule. The objective of EPA's approach is to
ensure that a person cannot impede finalization of a SNUR by initiating
a significant new use after publication of the proposed rule but before
the effective date of the final rule. Uses arising after the
publication of the proposed rule are distinguished from uses that are
identified in the final rule as having been ongoing on the date of
publication of the proposed rule. The former would be new uses, the
latter ongoing uses, except that uses that are identified as ongoing as
of the publication of the proposed rule would not be considered ongoing
uses if they have ceased by the date of issuance of a final rule.
In the unlikely event that before a final rule becomes effective a
person begins commercial manufacturing (including importing) or
processing of the chemical substances for a use that is designated as a
significant new use in that final rule, such a person would have to
cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To
resume their activities, these persons would have to first comply with
all applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until all TSCA
prerequisites for the commencement of manufacture or processing have
been satisfied.
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that
the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical
substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at
https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
C. Important Information About SNUN Submissions
1. SNUN Submissions
SNUNs must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, generated using e-
PMN software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 and 721.25. E-PMN software is
available electronically at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.
2. Development and Submission of Information
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require development of
any particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before
submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to
submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, order
or consent agreement under TSCA section 4, then TSCA section 5(b)(1)(A)
requires such information to be submitted to EPA at the time of
submission of the SNUN.
In the absence of a rule, TSCA order, or consent agreement under
TSCA section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required
only to submit information in their possession or control and to
describe any other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by
them (see 40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the
Agency has the authority to require appropriate testing. To assist with
EPA's analysis of the SNUN, submitters are encouraged, but not
required, to provide the potentially useful information identified for
the chemical substance in Unit IV of the proposed rule.
EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. Furthermore,
pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing
in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation with the Agency on
the use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New
Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, to generate the
recommended test data. EPA encourages dialog with Agency
representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both
the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h). For more
information on alternative test methods and strategies to reduce
vertebrate animal testing, visit https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/alternative-test-methods-and-strategies-reduce.
The potentially useful information described in Unit IV of the
proposed rule may not be the only means of providing information to
evaluate the chemical substance associated with the significant new
uses. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the
likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA sections 5(e) or 5(f).
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 the following:
Human exposure and environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
D. Public Comments on Proposed Rule and EPA Responses
EPA received public comments from two identifying entities and two
confidential entities pertaining to the SNURs that the Agency is
finalizing with this rule. One comment was generally critical of the
rule but did not identify specific changes or issues with the rule
requirements; therefore, no response is required. Two of the comments
identified ongoing uses of two different chemical substances in the
proposed rule. As a result, EPA is issuing a modified final rule for
those chemical substances that do not designate the ongoing uses as
significant new uses. Specifically, for the chemical substance that was
the subject of P-17-299, EPA will no longer designate as a
[[Page 570]]
significant new use the use of the chemical substance in a manner that
generates a dust, mist, or aerosol. EPA is instead designating as a
significant new use the use of the chemical substance by workers unless
specific respiratory protection is provided. For the chemical substance
that was the subject of P-18-172, EPA is not designating use of the
chemical substance in architectural coatings that are consumer products
as a significant new use. A summary of all of the comments and the
Agency's responses to these comments are presented in the Response to
Public Comments document. The comments and the Response to Public
Comments are available in the docket for this rule.
III. Chemical Substances Subject to These SNURs
A. What is the designated cutoff date for determining whether the new
use is ongoing for these chemical substances?
EPA designates December 6, 2019, as the cutoff date for determining
whether the new use is ongoing. This designation is explained in more
detail in Unit VI of the proposed rule.
B. What information is provided for each chemical substance?
In Unit IV. of the proposed rule, EPA provided the following
information for each chemical substance subject to these SNURs:
PMN number (the CFR citation assigned in the regulatory
text section of this document).
Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
Potentially useful information.
The regulatory text section specifies the activities designated as
significant new uses. Certain new uses, including exceeding production
volume limits and other uses designated in the proposed rules, may be
claimed as CBI.
In addition, as discussed in Unit V.A. of the proposed rule, for
the chemical substances that have undergone premanufacture review, EPA
has identified certain conditions of use and other circumstances of use
apart from those intended by the PMN submitter as significant new uses.
All uses identified as significant new uses in this rule cannot occur
without first going through a separate EPA review and determination
process associated with a SNUN.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review
This action establishes SNURs for new chemical substances that were
the subject of PMNs. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866
(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), as amended by Executive Order 14094 (88
FR 21879, April 11, 2023).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
According to 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 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 associated with SNURs have
already been approved by OMB pursuant to the PRA under OMB control
number 2070-0038 (EPA ICR No. 1188.13). 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 submission. 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.
EPA always welcomes your feedback on the burden estimate. 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.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any
person (including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any
activity described in the final rule as a ``significant new use.''
Because these uses are ``new,'' based on all information currently
available to EPA, EPA has concluded that no small or large entities
presently engage in such activities.
A SNUR requires that any person who intends to engage in such
activity in the future must first notify EPA by submitting a SNUN.
Although some small entities may decide to pursue a significant new use
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 SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency
receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the
number of SNUNs received was 16 in Federal fiscal year (FY) FY2018,
five in FY2019, seven in FY2020, 13 in FY2021, 11 in FY2022, and 15 in
FY2023, and only a fraction of these submissions were from small
businesses.
In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small
businesses by reducing the SNUN submission fee from $37,000 to 6,480.
This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping cost of
submitting a SNUN to about $14,500 per SNUN submission for qualifying
small firms. Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying
with these SNURs are not expected to be significant or adversely impact
a substantial number of small entities. In a SNUR that published in the
Federal Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency
presented its general determination that 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.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more (in 1995 dollars) in any one year as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C.
1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing
SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by
SNURs, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State,
local, or Tribal government will be impacted by these SNURs. In
addition, the estimated costs of this action to the private sector do
not exceed $183 million or more in any one year (the 1995 dollars are
adjusted to 2023 dollars for inflation using the GDP implicit price
deflator). The estimated
[[Page 571]]
costs for this action are discussed in Unit I.D.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action will not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it is not
expected to 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. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13132 do
not apply to this action.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action will not have Tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it is
not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes or
significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian Tribal
governments and does not involve or impose any requirements that affect
Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13175
do not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it does not concern an environmental health or
safety risk. Since this action does not concern a human health risk,
EPA's 2021 Policy on Children's Health also does not apply. Although
the establishment of these SNURs do not address an existing children's
environmental health concern because the chemical uses involved are not
ongoing uses, SNURs require that persons notify EPA at least 90 days
before commencing manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or
processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is
designated as a significant new use by this rule. This notification
allows EPA to assess the intended uses to identify potential risks and
take appropriate actions before the activities commence.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This action does not involve any technical standards subject to
NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and
Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to
Environmental Justice for All
This action does not concern human health or environmental
conditions and therefore cannot be evaluated with respect to the
potential for disproportionate impacts on non-white and low-income
populations in accordance with Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) and Executive Order 14096 (88 FR 25251, April 26,
2023). Although this action does not concern human health or
environmental conditions, the premanufacture notifications required by
these SNURs allow EPA to assess the intended uses to identify potential
disproportionate risks and take appropriate actions before the
activities commence.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
