2.0	Summary of HPV4 Chemicals and Findings	4

                                    Preface

	This findings document was prepared to support EPA's Proposed TSCA Section 4 Test Rule for Certain High Production Volume Chemicals; Fourth Group of Chemicals.  Prior to promulgating a test rule under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. §§2601 et seq, EPA is required to make certain findings identified in section 4(a) of TSCA relating to the chemical's risk and potential exposure, the sufficiency of data to allow EPA to determine the human health or environmental effects of the chemical, and the need to conduct testing.

	Under TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B), EPA must make the following findings to support a test rule based on concerns for exposure: (1) that a chemical substance is or will be produced in substantial quantities and that it enters or may reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial quantities and/or that there is or may be substantial and/or significant human exposure to such substance; (2) that there are insufficient data and experience upon which the effects of the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use or disposal of such substance or mixture or of any combination of such activities on health or the environment can reasonably be determined or predicted; and (3) that testing of the substance or mixture with respect to such effects is necessary to develop such data.  The criteria and standards used by EPA for evaluating the terms "substantial production," "substantial release," and "substantial or significant human exposure" as used in TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B)(i) are explained in EPA's Final Statement of Policy; Criteria for Evaluating Substantial Production, Substantial Release, and Substantial or Significant Human Exposure set forth at 58 FR 28736 (May 14, 1993) (hereinafter referred to as the "B Policy").

	This document provides a detailed discussion of EPA's evaluation of each of the chemical substances identified in the proposed test rule to determine that preliminary TSCA section 4(a)(1)(B) findings concerning "substantial production," "substantial release," and "substantial or significant human exposure" can be made.
Data Source Descriptions
TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Rule: In 1986, EPA promulgated the Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) regulations, under TSCA section 8(a), to facilitate the periodic updating of the TSCA Inventory database and to otherwise support activities associated with implementing TSCA. As originally promulgated, the IUR required chemical manufacturers (including importers) to report to EPA every 4 years the identity of chemical substances manufactured (including imported) annually in quantities of 10,000 pounds or more at each plant site they owned or controlled. In 2003, EPA adjusted the universe of chemicals and plant sites that are required to report, and the type of information reported. In 2005, EPA changed the reporting frequency to once every 5 years, revised the manner in which amounts of a chemical substance manufactured or imported must be reported, and changed the submission period for reporting after 2006.

To protect the claims of confidential business information (CBI) asserted by some IUR submitters on the amount of the chemical substance manufactured (including imported) at a specific site, all production volumes reported by IUR submitters (i.e., CBI and non-CBI) for each chemical are combined by EPA for an aggregate total.  Confidential business information claims are further protected by using eight ranges to identify the total for any specific chemical and then making available to the public the range that corresponds to the aggregate production volume. Publicly-available information from the 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, and 2002 (and 2006) IUR reporting cycles are available on-line at: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/iur/index.htm

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) contains information about releases of certain chemicals and management of wastes at a wide variety of sources, including manufacturing operations, certain service businesses, and federal facilities.  Publicly-available information from the 2008 TRI reporting cycle is available on-line at: http://www.epa.gov/triexplorer/

The National Library of Medicine Household Products Database provides information on the chemical ingredients and their percentage in specific brands of household products.  Information in the database is from a variety of publicly available sources including brand-specific labels and Material Safety Data Sheets when available from manufacturers and manufacturers' web sites.  Publicly-available information from the database is available on-line at: http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/

Summary of HPV4 Chemicals and Findings

The total number of potentially exposed workers is likely to exceed 1,000 based on reported IUR data.

The NLM database indicates this chemical is used as an ingredient in 25 personal care products. Additionally, the IUR commercial/consumer product category C20  -  Other (chemicals contained in commercial and consumer products not elsewhere classified) was reported for this chemical. This indicates that this chemical is present in an unknown number of commercial and consumer products that may potentially have a high number of exposures. Based on this information, this chemical would meet the exposure based findings criteria of "substantial or significant human exposure."

This chemical met exposure based findings criteria based on:
- 2006 IUR Production Volume Range (1 million - 10 million lb)
- Total workers exceeding 1,000 based on IUR data
- Consumers potentially exceeding 10,000 people based on NLM data and IUR commercial/consumer product category (C20)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM), is applying for expansion of
its current recognition as an NRTL. TUVAM requests the addition of one
test standard to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have
the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition,
following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix
requires that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the Agency provides its final decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of
that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page for each NRTL,
including TUVAM, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    TUVAM currently has three facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
TUV SUD America, Inc., 10 Centennial Drive, Peabody, MA 01960. A
complete list of TUVAM's scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/tuvam.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    TUVAM submitted an application, dated August 10, 2015 (Exhibit 15-
1, Application for One Test Standard Expansion, OSHA-2007-0043), to
expand its recognition to include one additional test standard. OSHA
staff performed detailed analysis of the application packet and
reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site
reviews in relation to this application.
    Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standard found in TUVAM's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    TUVAM submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file indicates
that TUVAM can meet the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expanding its recognition to include the addition of this one test
standard for NRTL testing and certification listed above. This
preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary
approval of TUVAM's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether TUVAM meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request
in writing, stating the reasons for the request. Commenters must submit
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if the request
is not adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket,
contact the Docket Office, Room N-2625, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address. These
materials also are available online at http://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA-2007-0043.
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health whether to grant TUVAM's application for expansion of
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
decision on granting the application. In making this decision, the
Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
    OSHA will publish a public notice of its final decision in the
Federal Register.
