SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What action is EPA proposing to take?

    EPA is proposing to approve changes to North Carolina's SIP that
were provided to EPA through NCDEQ via a letter dated April 13,
2021.\1\ EPA is proposing to approve changes to North Carolina's 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Section
.1400, Nitrogen Oxides (hereinafter referred to as Section .1400).\2\
The April 13, 2021, revision to the North Carolina SIP transmits
changes that do not alter the meaning of the regulations, such as
clarifying changes, updated cross-

references, and several ministerial language changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA notes that the submittal was received through the State
Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) on April 14, 2021.
For clarity, this notice will refer to the submittal by the date on
the cover letter, which is April 13, 2021.
    \2\ The State submitted several revisions with the same April
13, 2021, cover letter following readoption, including revisions to
rules in Section .1400. These revisions were submitted pursuant to
North Carolina's 10-year readoption process at North Carolina
General Statute at 150B-21-3A. EPA will be considering action on
other SIP revisions submitted with the April 13, 2021, cover letter
in separate rulemakings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. EPA's Analysis of the State's Submittal

    North Carolina's SIP revision contains minor changes to Section
.1400.\3\ EPA has preliminarily determined that these changes do not
interfere with attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) or any other applicable requirement of the
Act because they are minor in nature. For these reasons, EPA is
proposing to approve the changes to this section. EPA's analysis of
each rule change in Section .1400 included in the April 13, 2021, SIP
revision is below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ EPA is not proposing to act on Rule .1405, Circumvention, as
this rule is not part of the approved SIP, and North Carolina did
not request that EPA act on this rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

a. Rule .1401, Definitions

    Rule .1401 includes definitions that apply to Section .1400 rules.
The April 13, 2021, SIP revision updates the formatting of rule
references, makes minor clarifying changes, makes other formatting
revisions and spelling/grammar corrections, adds definitions, and
deletes one definition. Certain cross-references in Rule .1401 are
changed to remove rules that North Carolina repealed (Rules .1416,
.1417, and .1419 through .1422). These removed rules are also not in
the SIP. Other revisions to Rule .1401 include:
    1. A definition for ``Combustion turbine'' is added at .1401(a)(8).
Stationary combustion turbines are regulated in Section 1400 under Rule
.1408, and this definition provides clarity regarding that rule.
    2. The definitions for ``Emergency generator'' at .1401(a)(11) and
``Emergency use internal combustion engines'' at .1401(a)(12) are each
split into provisions (A) and (B) to make the definitions clearer. The
revision also clarifies under (B) when the operation of emergency
generators and emergency use internal combustion engines is allowed to
perform maintenance to protect the environment. Currently, the SIP
provision allows operation of such emergency generators and engines
during maintenance when necessary to protect the environment. The
revision specifies that operation for maintenance is only allowed when
maintenance is performed on the power supply to equipment that is
necessary to protect the environment and on such equipment itself.
    3. The definition for ``Process heater'' at .1401(a)(20) is
removed, as it is redundant with the definition for ``Indirect-fired
process heater'' at .1401(a)(15). Additionally, ``indirect- fired
process heater'' is the term used in the substantive requirements of
Section .1400 at .1407.
    4. New provision .1401(b) is added to provide that whenever
reference is made to the Code of Federal Regulations in Section .1400,
the definitions in the Code of Federal Regulations shall apply unless
specifically stated otherwise in a particular rule in this Section.
    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision with
respect to Rule .1401 because, as minor changes, they will not impact
air quality and thus will not interfere with any requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable progress, or any other applicable CAA
requirement.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Section 110(l) of the CAA prohibits EPA from approving a SIP
revision that would interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (as defined in
section 171), or any other applicable requirement of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Rule .1402, Applicability

    Rule .1402 outlines the applicability provisions that apply to
Section .1400 rules. The April 13, 2021, SIP revision does not include
any substantive changes to Rule .1402. The revision makes minor
administrative changes, makes minor rewording for clarity, removes
outdated language referencing repealed rules, replaces words with
acronyms for consistency, updates rule cross references, and updates
the formatting of rule references. The cross-references in Rule .1402
are being changed to remove rules that North Carolina repealed (Rules
.1416, .1417, and .1419 through .1422). A sentence in paragraph (a) was
removed due to a reference to the Section .2400 rules related to the
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), which North Carolina repealed. These
removed rules are also not in the SIP.
    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision with
respect to Rule .1402 because, as minor, non-substantive changes, they
will not impact air quality and thus will not interfere with any
requirement concerning attainment and reasonable progress, or any other
applicable CAA requirements.

c. Rule .1403, Compliance Schedules

    Rule .1403 outlines compliance schedule provisions that apply to
Section .1400 rules. The April 13, 2021, SIP revision does not include
any substantive changes to Rule .1403. The revision updates the
formatting of rule references, corrects an error in a rule reference in
Subparagraph (b), and makes other general formatting and minor
administrative and clarifying changes.
    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision with
respect to Rule .1403 because, as minor, non-substantive changes, they
will not impact air quality and thus will not interfere with any
requirement concerning attainment and reasonable progress, or any other
applicable CAA requirements.

d. Rule .1404, Recordkeeping: Reporting: Monitoring

    Rule .1404 outlines recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring
provisions that apply to Section .1400 rules. Subparagraph (e)(2)(B)
addresses ``missing data'' for continuous emissions monitoring systems
and has been restructured to move the definition of ``properly
operated'' to the end of the subparagraph. Additionally, the provision
is strengthened by specifying that ``properly operated'' means that
``operating and maintenance procedures being used complied with permit
conditions, operating and maintenance procedures, preventative
maintenance procedures, monitoring results, and compliance history,''
rather than only listing those specific procedures as examples of
acceptable operating and maintenance procedures. Otherwise, the April
13, 2021, SIP revision does not include any substantive changes to Rule
.1404 but includes updates to the formatting of rule references and
minor administrative changes.
    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision with
respect to Rule .1404 because, as minor changes, they will not impact
air quality and thus will not interfere with any requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable progress, or any other applicable CAA
requirements.

e. Rule .1407, Boilers and Indirect-Fired Process Heaters

    Rule .1407 outlines provisions for boilers and indirect-fired
process heaters. The April 13, 2021, SIP revision does not include any
substantive changes to Rule .1407. The revision updates the formatting

office (please contact the person identified in the For Further
Information Contact section of this preamble for more information).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the April 13, 2021, SIP revision to
incorporate various changes to North Carolina's NOX
provisions into the SIP. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve
various minor changes to North Carolina's rules in 02D Section .1400,
Nitrogen Oxides as explained herein. EPA is proposing to approve these
changes for the reasons discussed above.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided they meet the criteria of the CAA. This proposed action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0321; FRL-8888-01-OCSPP]

Chemical Data Reporting; Guidance for Preparing and Submitting a
Petition; Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of and soliciting public comment on guidance on the
processes applicable to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) regulations: Petitions for full exemption
of byproduct substances that are recycled or otherwise used within
site-limited, physically enclosed systems and Petitions for partial
exemption of chemicals for which the CDR processing and use information
has been determined to be of ``low current interest'' by the Agency.
This guidance is designed to elucidate the process and requirements of
CDR-specific petitions and is consistent with both existing regulations
and guidance. The CDR regulations require manufacturers (including
importers) of certain chemical substances included on the TSCA Chemical
Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory) to report data on the
manufacturing, processing, and use of the chemical substances.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 21, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0321, using the Federal eRulemaking Portal
at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for
submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Additional
instructions on commenting or visiting the docket, along with more
information about dockets generally, is available at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/about-epa-dockets.
    Due to the public health concerns related to COVID-19, the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC) and Reading Room is closed to visitors with
limited exceptions. The staff continues to provide remote customer
service via email, phone, and webform. For the latest status

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture
(including import) chemical substances listed on the TSCA Inventory.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to represent each industry sector or
entity to which the guidance mentioned herein applies. The list is
intended to serve as a guide to help readers determine whether the
guidance applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include but
are not limited to:
     Chemical manufacturers (including importers) (NAICS codes
325 and 324110, e.g., chemical manufacturing and processing and
petroleum refineries).
     Chemical users and processors who may manufacture a
byproduct chemical substance (NAICS codes 22, 322, 331, and 3344, e.g.,
utilities, paper manufacturing, primary metal manufacturing, and
semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing).

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is announcing the availability of guidance on the two petition
processes applicable to the TSCA CDR regulations and soliciting public
comment on the guidance. The guidance covers petitions for:
     Full exemption of byproduct substances that are recycled
or otherwise used within site-limited, physically enclosed systems (40
CFR 711.10(d)(1)) and
     Partial exemption of chemicals for which the CDR
processing and use information has been determined to be of ``low
current interest'' by the Agency (40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)).
    The public comment period will be open for 120 days, but the public
may consult this guidance immediately. These comments will be taken
into consideration when determining if updating the guidance is
appropriate as part of EPA's efforts of continuous improvement.
    The CDR data include information on the manufacture (including
import), industrial processing and use, and consumer and commercial use
of certain chemicals currently included on the TSCA Inventory, a list
of chemical substances manufactured or processed in the United States
for nonexempt commercial purpose. Manufacturing, processing, and use
information helps EPA screen and assess potential exposures to and
risks of reported chemicals to human health and the environment.
Certain chemicals for which processing and use information has been
determined to be of ``low current interest'' by the Agency are
partially exempted from reporting, and manufacturers of these chemicals
are not required to provide information on the processing and use of
their chemicals (only information on manufacturing (including import)
is required). Additionally, certain chemicals, when produced as
byproducts, may be fully exempted from reporting depending on how they
are manufactured, processed, or used. Two separate petition processes
exist for making amendments to the list of partially exempt chemical
substances (40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv)) or the list of processes and
certain related byproduct substances (40 CFR 711.10(d)(1)(i)) that are
fully exempted when they are recycled or otherwise used within site-
limited, physically enclosed systems.
    The primary goal of this guidance is to help the regulated
community comply with the CDR rule requirements in relation to its
applicable petition processes. This guidance identifies and clarifies
examples of the types of information submitters can provide to the
Agency in support of petitions for full or partial exemption from CDR
rule requirements. This guidance is expected to make the requirements
and process of submitting a CDR-specific petition more comprehensible,
enabling petitioners to determine if a petition is appropriate and to
better provide a petition containing the information needed for EPA to
reach a determination. Ultimately, this guidance will help both parties
to better meet regulatory deadlines associated with petition submission
and response.
    The byproduct exemption petition process was established as part of
the CDR Revisions rulemaking of 2020 and the partial exemption petition
process has been available since the Inventory Update Rule (IUR)
Amendments rulemaking of 2003. The IUR is the predecessor to the CDR.
During the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-led interagency review
for the CDR Revisions Rule, EPA agreed to make guidance particular to
the new byproduct petition process available to help potential
petitioners understand the types of information that a petition should
include and to facilitate EPA's determination of whether certain types
of manufacturing processes and associated byproduct substances meet the
criteria of this exemption. The guidance was requested by OMB and by

some commenters during the associated public comment period (e.g., in
the docket, see the document entitled: ``Response to Public Comments on
the Final TSCA Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Revisions Rule,'' dated
February 2020).
    The information in this guidance is similar to and expands upon
information that has already been available on the CDR website for the
existing partial exemption petition process (40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)). Given
that the new byproduct exemption petition process was modeled in part
after the existing partial exemption petition process, EPA decided to
have the guidance cover both petition processes.

III. Does this guidance document contain binding requirements?

    As guidance, this document is not binding on the Agency or any
outside parties, and the Agency may depart from it where circumstances
warrant and without prior notice. While EPA has made every effort to
ensure the accuracy of the discussion in the guidance, the obligations
of EPA and the regulated community are determined by statutes,
regulations, or other legally binding documents. In the event of a
conflict between the discussion in the guidance document and any
statute, regulation, or other legally binding document, the guidance
document will not be controlling.

IV. Is this guidance subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)?

    This action does not contain any new or revised information
collections or burden subject to additional OMB approval under the PRA,
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Information collection activities contained in CDR are already approved
by OMB under OMB Control No. 2070-0162 (EPA ICR No. 1884).
    Under the PRA, 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, as applicable.
    The public reporting and recordkeeping burden associated with the
submission of a petition under the CDR regulation is estimated to be 1
hour per response. Send comments on the Agency's need for this
information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates and any
suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden to the Regulatory
Support Division Director, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(2821T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460. Include the
OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send the completed
form, petition or other information to this address.

    The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR
parts 730-774)) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause
to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities
have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being
or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to Sec.
744.11(b). The EAR impose additional license requirements on, and limit
the availability of, most license exceptions for exports, reexports,
and transfers (in-country) when a listed entity is a party to the
transaction. The license review policy for each listed entity is
identified in the ``License Review Policy'' column on the Entity List,
and the impact on the availability of license exceptions is described
in the relevant Federal Register document that added the entity to the
Entity List. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) places entities
on the Entity List pursuant to parts 744 (Control Policy: End-User and
End-Use Based) and 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the
EAR.
    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to,
removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes
all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and
makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

    The ERC determined to add Aeroscan Limited Liability Company;
Alfakomponent; BIC-Inform LLC; Hartis DV LLC; ID Solution LLC; OOO OMP;
Orelmetallpolimer LLC; Spel LLC; Spetstehnotreyd LLC; STC Orion LLC;
Technical Center Windeq LLC; and ZALA Aero Group, all under the
destination of Russia; and Mvizion LLC, under the destination of
Uzbekistan, to the Entity List. These entities are added for supporting
Russia's military through the procurement, development, and
proliferation of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This activity
is contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of
the United States under Sec.  744.11(b) and these entities qualify as
military end users under Sec. Sec.  744.21(e), 744.21(g), and 746.8(b)
of the EAR. These entities are receiving a footnote 3 designation
because the ERC has determined that they are Russian or Belarusian
`military end users' pursuant to Sec.  744.21. A footnote 3 designation
subjects these entities to the Russia/Belarus-Military End User Foreign
Direct Product (FDP) rule, detailed in Sec.  734.9(g). The entities are
added with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a
license review policy of denial for all items subject to the EAR apart
from food and medicine designated as EAR99, which will be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis.
    For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following
13 entities, including aliases where appropriate, to the Entity List:

Russia

     Aeroscan Limited Liability Company;
     Alfakomponent;
     BIC-Inform LLC;
     Hartis DV LLC;
     ID Solution LLC;
     OOO OMP;
     Orelmetallpolimer LLC;
     Spel LLC;
     Spetstehnotreyd LLC;
     STC Orion LLC;
     Technical Center Windeq LLC; and
     ZALA Aero Group.

Uzbekistan

     Mvizion LLC.

Savings Clause

    For the changes being made in this final rule, shipments of items
removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport,
or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on November 2, 2023,
pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed to that
destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR)
before December 4, 2023. Any such items not actually exported,
reexported or transferred (in-country) before midnight, on November 2,
2023, require a license in accordance with this final rule.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801-
4852). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities
and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes
of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to or be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), unless
that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves an
information collection approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System. BIS does not
anticipate a change to the burden hours associated with this collection
as a result of this rule. Information regarding the collection,
including all supporting materials, can be accessed at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

    3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of
2018, this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity
for public participation, and delay in effective date.
    5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required, and none
has been prepared.
