Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Chemical
Substances Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and comply with
the statutory provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new
chemicals. Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a premanufacture
notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing exemption (TME),
and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status reports on the
new chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement
(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. This document, which covers the
period from June 6, 2011 to July 1, 2011, and provides the required
notice and status report, consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending
or expired, and the NOC to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency
has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before October 17, 2011.

    Instructions: EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the docket without change and may be made available on-line
at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in
hard copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of
operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room
is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is
(202) 566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic
identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor
log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and
subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must
be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.
If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to
a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Why is EPA taking this action?

    EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing''
chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://ww.epa.gov/opt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from June 6, 2011 to July 1, 2011, consists of the PMNs and
TMEs, both pending or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new
chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this
time period.

III. Receipt and Status Reports

    In Table I. of this unit, EPA provides the following information

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On May 1, 2012 we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW), at Wrightsville Beach, NC; Cape Fear and Northeast
Cape Fear River, at Wilmington NC'' in the Federal Register (77 FR
25652). We received no comments on the published NPRM. No public
meeting was requested, and none was held. The current operating
schedule for the S.R. 74 Bridge at Wrightsville Beach, NC, the Cape
Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge both at
Wilmington, NC are located at 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4), 33 CFR 117.822, and
33 CFR 117.829(a), respectively. All three operating regulations were
last amended on May 27, 2011 regarding an unrelated issue. There have
been no other publications or efforts to reach out to the public in the
development of this rule modification because these races are annual
races that mariners are familiar with and this rule makes minor
adjustments to the times the bridges will be unable to open.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The YMCA Tri Span 5K and 10K races are annual events that are held
in the Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC areas. Recently, the
Wilmington Family YMCA made a permanent change to both the time and
route of the events. The races will continue to be held on the second
Saturday of July of every year; however, the events will now begin and
end an hour earlier (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and the race routes will now
include the S.R. 74 Bridge. As a result, the Wilmington Family YMCA, on
behalf of NCDOT, requested a change to the operating regulations for
the S.R. 74 Bridge, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and the Isabel S.
Holmes Bridge. This final rule allows the bridges to

remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year.
    The S.R. 74 Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge across AIWW,
mile 283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. It has a vertical clearance of
20 feet at mean high water in the closed position. The Cape Fear
Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge across the Cape Fear River,
mile 26.8, at Wilmington, NC. It has a vertical clearance of 65 feet
above mean high water in the closed position. The Isabel S. Holmes
Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge with a vertical clearance of
40 feet at mean high water in the closed position.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard provided sixty days for review but received no
comments on the NPRM. The Coast Guard is amending 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4)
for the S.R. 74 Bridge, mile 283.1 at Wrightsville Beach, NC to allow
the bridge to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on
the second Saturday of July of every year. The Coast Guard is amending
33 CFR 117.822 and 33 CFR 117.829(a)(4) for the Cape Fear Memorial
Bridge and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge, respectively, to allow the
bridges to remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the
second Saturday of July of every year from the current closure times of
8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The
amendments to these operating regulations will allow the bridges to
remain in the closed position for the racers of the annual YMCA Tri
Span 5K & 10K races to safely cross the bridges. The Coast Guard will
issue Local Notices to Mariners and Broadcast Notices to Mariners every
year to remind mariners of the annual closures which will allow them to
plan their scheduled transits accordingly.
    There are no alternative routes available to vessels transiting
these waterways. Vessels that can transit under the bridges without an
opening may do so at any time. The bridges will be able to open for
emergencies.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The changes are expected to have minimal impacts on mariners due to
the short duration that the moveable bridges will be maintained in the
closed position. The races have been reserved in years past with little
to no impact to marine traffic. It is also a necessary measure to
facilitate public safety that allows for the orderly movement of
participants before, during, and after the races.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), (5 U.S.C. 601-
612), as amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential
impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term
``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments
from the Small Business Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels needing to
transit any of the effected bridges from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year. This action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the
rule adds minimal restrictions to the movement of navigation and
mariners who plan their transits in accordance with the scheduled
bridge closures can minimize delay. Vessels that can safely transit
under the bridges may do so at any time.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will call for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have

taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions
and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets the applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.
