Clarification of Reconsideration of the Oil and Natural Gas
Sector: New Source Performance Standards; Final Action

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of supplemental action denying petitions for
reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing
notice that it has clarified the scope of its July 29, 2016, response
to petitions for reconsideration of the 2012 final rule titled ``Oil
and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews'' and the
subsequent amendments published in the Federal Register on September
23, 2013, and December 31, 2014. The EPA has sent a letter to each of
the petitioners clarifying that the July 29, 2016, action denied the
above mentioned petitions only with respect to the issues related to
the new source performance standards (NSPS), and was not intended to
include denial of reconsideration of any issue relative to the 2012
action on the national emission standards for hazardous air Pollutants
(``2012 NESHAP''). The letters further state that, to the extent the
July 29, 2016, action may be construed to have denied reconsideration
of issues relative to the 2012 NESHAP, the follow-up letters supersede
that previous action on NESHAP-related matters.

DATES: Effective October 4, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Where can I get a copy of this document and other related
information?

    A copy of this Federal Register notice, the supplemental letters,
and the revised supporting document describing the full basis for the
July 29, 2016, action are available in the docket the EPA established
under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505. In addition, following
signature, all relevant documents will be available on the World Wide
Web (WWW) at the following address: https://www3.epa.gov/airquality/oilandgas/actions.html.

II. Description of Action

    On August 16, 2012, the EPA published the final rule titled ``Oil
and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews.'' See 77 FR
49490. The rule contains final actions on two different national
standards for the oil and natural gas sector: (1) NSPS, promulgated
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and (2) NESHAP,
promulgated under section 112 of the CAA. The 2012 rule was followed by
a series of reconsideration actions and amendments to the 2012 NSPS. 78
FR 58416 (September 23, 2013); 79 FR 79018 (December 31, 2014); 80 FR
48262 (August 12, 2015); and 81 FR 35824 (June 3, 2016) (``2016 Final
Rule''). The EPA received administrative petitions for reconsideration
of the 2012 rules (on both the NSPS and the NESHAP), as well as for
reconsideration of the 2013 and 2014 NSPS amendments. On July 29, 2016,
the Administrator took final action denying these petitions with
respect to NSPS issues not otherwise addressed in prior reconsideration
actions. That action was announced in a Federal Register notice
published on August 10, 2016 (81 FR 52778). Although several of the
reconsideration petitions identified in the July 29, 2016, action also
include NESHAP issues, and one petition pertains only to the 2012
NESHAP,\1\ the EPA did not address the substance of any NESHAP related
issues in that action.

Council, Coalition For A Safe Environment, Desert Citizens Against
Pollution, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club
(October 15, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA is providing notice that it has issued a supplemental
letter to clarify the scope of its July 29, 2016, action. The
supplemental letter further clarifies that the July 29, 2016, action
was not intended to include denial of reconsideration of any issue
relative to the 2012 NESHAP and that the EPA continues to evaluate
reconsideration issues relative to the 2012 NESHAP. The letter also
states that, to the extent the July 29, 2016, letter may be construed
to have denied reconsideration of issues relative to the 2012 NESHAP,
the

supplemental letter supersedes that action on NESHAP-related issues.
    Enclosed with the supplemental letter is a revised document titled
``Denial of Petitions for Reconsideration of Certain Issues: Oil and
Natural Gas New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR part 60, subpart
OOOO).'' The document sets forth the EPA's reasons for denying the
above mentioned petitions with respect to NSPS issues not otherwise
addressed in previous reconsideration actions. The NSPS reconsideration
denial supporting document that accompanied the July 29, 2016 letters
has been revised to remove two erroneous references: (1) Replaced No.
4591 with No. 4575 as the Petitioner for Issue 26; and (2) removed No.
4591 from the list of NSPS Petitioners in Appendix A.

(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0746.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0251.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it 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 when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners
and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU) were
proposed on April 23, 1986 and promulgated on September 28, 1992.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the
NSPA at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the
General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU.
    These standards apply to new, modified and reconstructed calciners
and dryers at mineral processing plants that process or produce any of
the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which
the majority is any of the following minerals or a combination of these
minerals: Alumina, ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire
clay, fuller's earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight
aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc,
titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. Particulate matter is the pollutant
regulated under this subpart. Feed and product conveyors are not
considered part of the affected facility. Facilities subject to NSPS
subpart LL, Metallic Mineral Processing Plants are not subject to this
standard. There are additional processes and process units at mineral
processing plants listed at 60.730(b) which are not subject to the
provisions of this subpart.
    Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required
semiannually. These notifications, reports, and records are essential
in determining compliance, and are required, in general, of all sources
subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 20
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Calciners and dryers at mineral
processing plants that process or produce any of the following minerals
and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is any of
the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: Alumina,
ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller's earth,
gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight aggregate, magnesium
compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc, titanium dioxide, and
vermiculite.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19-4.B)

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 chemical substances which are
the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires
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 by this rule. The required notification initiates EPA's
evaluation of the chemical under the conditions of use within the
applicable review period. Persons may not commence manufacture or
processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review
of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has
taken such actions as are required as a result of that determination.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 10, 2020. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on
June 23, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture,
process, or use the chemical substances contained in this rule. 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.
    This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing
import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import
provisions promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR
127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of the
chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and Orders under
TSCA. Importers of chemicals subject to these SNURs must certify their
compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support of
import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In
addition, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical
substance that is the subject of this rule 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.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is finalizing a SNUR under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for chemical
substances which were the subject of PMNs P-16-92, P-17-346, P-17-347/
348/349/350/351/352, P-17-395, P-18-35, P-18-103, P-18-155/156, P-18-
286, P-18-392, P-19-29, and P-19-62. These 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 to notify EPA
at least 90 days before commencing that activity.
    Previously, in the Federal Register of August 14, 2019 (84 FR
40371) (FRL-9997-73), EPA proposed a SNUR for these chemical substances
in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. More information on the specific
chemical substances subject to this final rule can be found in the
Federal Register documents proposing the SNUR. The record for the SNUR
was established in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-
0442. That docket includes information considered by the Agency in
developing the proposed and final rules, public comments submitted for
the rule, and EPA's responses to public comments received on the
proposed rule.

B. 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 four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2)
factors listed in Unit III. As described in Unit V., the general SNUR
provisions are found at 40 CFR part 721, subpart A.

C. Applicability of General Provisions

    General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A.
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 rule.
Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. According
to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the
same significant new use notice (SNUN) 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 SNUN, EPA must
either determine that the significant new use under the conditions of
use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury or take
such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative
determination before the manufacture or processing for the significant
new use can commence. If EPA determines that

the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk,
EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and submit for
publication in the Federal Register, a statement of EPA's findings.

III. Significant New Use Determination

    TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA's determination that a use of
a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after
consideration of all relevant factors, including:
     The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a
chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use changes the type or form of
exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and
duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical
substance.
     The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a
chemical substance.
    In addition to these factors enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2),
the statute authorizes EPA to consider any other relevant factors. In
determining what would constitute a significant new use for the
chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered
relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, and
potential human exposures and environmental releases that may be
associated with the conditions of use of the substances, in the context
of the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit.
During its review of these chemicals, EPA identified certain conditions
of use that are not intended by the submitters, but reasonably foreseen
to occur. EPA is proposing to designate those reasonably foreseen
conditions of use as significant new uses.

IV. Public Comments on Proposed Rule and EPA Responses

    EPA received public comments from three identifying entities on the
proposed rule. The Agency's responses are described in a separate
Response to Public Comments document contained in the public docket for
this rule, EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0442.

V. Substances Subject to This Rule

    EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping
requirements for chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In
Unit IV of the August 14, 2019 proposed rule, EPA provided the
following information for each chemical substance:
     PMN number.
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as confidential business information (CBI)).
     Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the SNUR.
     Potentially Useful Information. This is information
identified by EPA that would help characterize the potential health
and/or environmental effects of the chemical substance if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use designated by the SNUR.
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
these rules.
    The regulatory text section of these rules specifies the activities
designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including
production volume limits and other uses designated in the rules, may be
claimed as CBI.
    The chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs
completed premanufacture review. In addition to those conditions of use
intended by the submitter, EPA has identified certain other reasonably
foreseen conditions of use. EPA has preliminarily determined that the
chemicals under their intended conditions of use are not likely to
present an unreasonable risk. However, EPA has not assessed risks
associated with the reasonably foreseen conditions of use for these
chemicals. As such, EPA is designating these reasonably foreseen
conditions of use and/or other potential circumstances of use as
significant new uses. As a result, before any of those uses may occur,
they must first go through a separate, subsequent EPA review and
determination process associated with a SNUN.

VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are the subject of these SNURs and as further discussed in Unit
IV. of the August 14, 2019 proposed rule, EPA identified certain
reasonably foreseen conditions of use and/or other circumstances
different from the intended conditions of use identified in the PMNs
and determined that those changes could result in changes in the type
or form of exposure to the chemical substances and/or increased
exposures to the chemical substances and/or changes in the reasonably
anticipated manner and methods of manufacturing, processing,
distribution in commerce, and disposal of the chemical substances.

B. Objectives

    EPA is issuing these SNURs because the Agency wants:
     To receive notice of any person's intent to manufacture or
process a listed chemical substance for the described significant new
use before that activity begins.
     To have an opportunity to review and evaluate data
submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or
processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant
new use.
     To be obligated to make a determination under TSCA section
5(a)(3) regarding the use described in the SNUN, under the conditions
of use. The Agency will either determine under section 5(a)(3)(C) that
the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk,
including an unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulation identified as relevant by the Administrator under the
conditions of use, or make a determination under section 5(a)(3)(A) or
(B) and take the required regulatory action associated with the
determination, before manufacture or processing for the significant new
use of the chemical substance can occur.
    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
http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/index.html.

VII. Applicability of the Significant New Use Designation

    To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have
undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not received a
notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has not been
added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such activities
without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical substances for
which an NOC has not been submitted EPA concludes that the designated
significant new uses are not ongoing.
    EPA designated August 14, 2019 (the date of web posting of the
proposed rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use
is ongoing. The objective of EPA's approach has been to ensure that a
person could not defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use
before the effective date of the final rule.

    In the unlikely event that a person began commercial manufacture or
processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use
identified as of August 14, 2019, that person will have to cease any
such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume
their activities, that person would have to first comply with all
applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on
the notice, and has taken such actions as are required with that
determination.

VIII. 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 (15 U.S.C. 2603), then TSCA
section 5(b)(1)(A) (15 U.S.C. 2604(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, 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. Unit IV. of the August 14,
2019 proposed rule lists potentially useful information for all SNURs
listed here. Descriptions are provided for informational purposes. The
potentially useful information identified in Unit IV. of the proposed
rule will be useful to EPA's evaluation in the event that someone
submits a SNUN for the significant new use. Companies who are
considering submitting a SNUN are encouraged, but not required, to
develop the information on the substance.
    EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency. 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).
    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 section 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 provide detailed information on the
following:
     Human exposure and environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
     Information on risks posed by the chemical substances
compared to risks posed by potential substitutes.

IX. Procedural Determinations

    By this rule, 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 720, subpart E. Absent a
final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim
under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is required to keep this
information confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the
situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, at 40 CFR
721.1725(b)(1).
    Under these procedures a manufacturer or processor may request EPA
to determine whether a proposed use would be a 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 and
must identify the specific use for which it intends 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 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
subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can
combine the bona fide submission under the procedure in 40 CFR
721.1725(b)(1) with that under 40 CFR 721.11 into a single step.
    If EPA determines that the use identified in the bona fide
submission would not be a significant new use, i.e., the use does not
meet the criteria specified in the rule for a significant new use, that
person can manufacture or process the chemical substance so long as the
significant new use trigger is not met. In the case of a production
volume trigger, this means that the aggregate annual production volume
does not exceed that identified in the bona fide submission to EPA.
Because of confidentiality concerns, EPA does not typically disclose
the actual production volume that constitutes the use trigger. Thus, 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.

X. SNUN Submissions

    According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply
with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures
as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on
health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. 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 http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems.

XI. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical
substances subject to this rule. EPA's complete economic analysis is
available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0442.

XII. 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 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review

    This action establishes SNURs for several 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
Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information that requires OMB approval under the

PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid
OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in
title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are
listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR
part 9 to list the OMB approval number for the information collection
requirements contained in this action. This listing of the OMB control
numbers and their subsequent codification in the CFR satisfies the
display requirements of PRA and OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR
part 1320. This Information Collection Request (ICR) was previously
subject to public notice and comment prior to OMB approval, and given
the technical nature of the table, EPA finds that further notice and
comment to amend it is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that there
is ``good cause'' under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table without
further notice and comment.
    The information collection activities in 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 using
automated collection techniques, to the Director, Regulatory Support
Division, Office of Mission Support (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.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    Pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (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 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, it appears 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. 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 seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13
in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 18 in FY2018
and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition,
the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the
potential economic impacts 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 in the Federal Register of June 2,
1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency presented its general
determination that 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.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    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 action. As
such, EPA has determined that this action does not impose any
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any
effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA
sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).

E. 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 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This
action does not significantly nor 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 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 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 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.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect energy
supply, distribution, or use and because this action is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA
section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to this action.

J. 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 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994).

XIII. 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).
