SUBJECT:	Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, FBIR Compressor Station; MCP Operating, LLC, Environmental Justice

FROM:	Colin Schwartz, EPA Region 8 Air Program

TO:		Source Files:

		Docket ID: EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0574

On February 11, 1994, the President issued Executive Order 12898, entitled "Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations."  The Executive Order calls on each federal agency to make environmental justice a part of its mission by "identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies and activities on minority populations and low-income populations."

The EPA defines "Environmental Justice" as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and polices. The EPA's goal with respect to Environmental Justice in permitting is to enable overburdened communities to have full and meaningful access to the permitting process and to develop permits that address environmental justice issues to the greatest extent practicable under existing environmental laws. Overburdened is used to describe the minority, low-income, tribal and indigenous populations or communities in the United States that potentially experience disproportionate environmental harms and risks as a result of greater vulnerability to environmental hazards.

This discussion describes our efforts to identify environmental justice communities and assess potential effects in connection with issuing this permit in Mountrail County, North Dakota, on Indian country lands within the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

Region 8 Air Program Determination

Based on the findings described in the following sections of this memorandum, we conclude that issuance of the aforementioned permit is not expected to have disproportionately high or adverse human health effects on overburdened communities in the vicinity of the facility.

Permit Request

The EPA received an application from MCP Operating, LLC (MCP), requesting a synthetic minor permit to construct and operate the FBIR Compressor Station in accordance with the requirements of the Tribal Minor New Source Review (MNSR) permitting program. This permit is proposed to approve the construction and operation of a compressor station. This facility would be capable of separating condensate and natural gas, compressing the natural gas to increase pressure and dehydrating the natural gas to a pipeline quality for sales. Potential uncontrolled emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are above major New Source Review (NSR) thresholds. Therefore, MCP has requested enforceable emission limitations to bring allowable emissions below major source levels. In addition, MCP has requested limitations to bring allowable emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) below the thresholds for applicability to various Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) regulations for major HAP sources at 40 CFR part 63, as well as major Title V thresholds for criteria pollutants and HAP.

This proposed permit would establish facility-wide annual limits on the throughput of natural gas and condensate. It requires the installation, maintenance and operation of a process flare to control VOC and HAP emissions from natural gas handling during maintenance, startup, shutdown and upset conditions. It also requires the installation, maintenance and operation of an enclosed vapor combustor to control VOC and HAP emissions from a triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration unit that includes a TEG reboiler and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) condenser, and working, standing, breathing and flashing loss emissions from condensate storage tanks. The proposed permit also contains requirements to operate a catalytic control system and air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) controller on three (3) natural gas-fired 4-stroke lean-burn (4SLB) spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE) used for natural gas compression at the facility, including associated CO, VOC, and NOx emissions limits.
This permit contains emissions limits, construction and operational limitations and associated monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Upon compliance with the permit, MCP will have legally and practicably enforceable restrictions on emissions that can be used when determining the applicability of other Clean Air Act (CAA) permitting requirements, such as those imposed by the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permit Program at 40 CFR part 52 and the Title V Operating Permit Program at 40 CFR part 71 (Part 71).

The facility is located at:

	      SENE Sec 4 T150N R93W
	Latitude 47.838823, Longitude -102.580448

Air Quality Review

The MNSR rule at 40 CFR 49.154(d) provides that if the permitting authority has "reason to be concerned" that construction of new minor sources or modifications at existing minor sources would "cause or contribute to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation," it "may" require an Air Quality Impacts Analysis (AQIA) (dispersion modeling analysis per 40 CFR part 51, Appendix W) to be submitted as part of an application (emphasis added). If an AQIA reveals that the proposed construction could cause or contribute to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation, such impacts must be addressed before a pre-construction permit can be issued. The purpose of the discretion provided at § 49.154(d) is to "ensure that construction of new minor sources or modifications at existing minor sources do not cause or contribute to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation" while not "overburdening all minor sources in Indian country with these types of air quality analysis." 76 FR at 38761.

The EPA used the discretion as provided at § 49.154(d) to assess the impact of this action in an AQIA for NOx emissions from the engines, flare and vapor combustor. The AQIA used the EPA's recommended air quality screening model (AERSCREEN, version 16216) to assess ambient air impacts from the action. Given the NOx emissions levels, the AQIA only used AERSCREEN to assess impacts to the 1-hour nitrogen dioxide (NO2) NAAQS. The modeling assumed default options, along with 80% conversion of NOx to NO2 to represent NOx chemistry and the adjustment to the surface frictional velocity. The official docket for the permit action contains the AERSCREEN input assumptions and results, as well as the AERSCREEN modeling files. MCP modeled one (1) compressor engine as a point source and multiplied the resulting concentration by three (3) to get the total concentration from the three (3) compressor engines. The vapor combustor was modeled as a point source, and the flare was modeled as a flare. MCP evaluated the 1-hour NO2 concentrations at 25-meter increments, starting at the property boundary, to determine the location of the maximum predicted concentrations. The maximum predicted 1-hour NO2 concentrations for the flare and vapor combustor were located at 33 meters from the property boundary, while the maximum predicted 1-hour NO2 concentration for the compressor engines was located at 58 meters from the property boundary. The maximum predicted 1-hour NO2 concentration for all five (5) emission units is located 58 meters from the emission source. The predicted 1-hour NO2 concentration from the three (3) compressor engines, flare and vapor combustor were summed together and added to the background concentration at the Dunn, North Dakota monitor. The resulting total predicted 1-hour NO2 concentration was compared to the NAAQS, and the results are about 72% of the NAAQS.

Although emissions at this proposed source would be increasing as a result of the permit action, the AERSCREEN model results indicated maximum impacts below the NAAQS at a short distance from the emissions sources (58 meters and less). Therefore, the agency finds that there is no "reason to be concerned" that construction of the new source would cause or contribute to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation as a result of issuing this permit.

Environmental Impacts to Potentially Overburdened Communities

This permit action authorizes the construction of new air emission sources with the potential to emit air pollutants at minor source levels under the MNSR Permit Program. The facility will be located in a rural area primarily used for livestock grazing and other agricultural uses. The proposed allowable emissions increases for this project are well below the major source PSD thresholds for all criteria pollutants. The ambient air measurements show existing air quality in the project area currently meets the NAAQS. The new emission sources would be controlled using the procedures listed in this permit and have been conservatively modeled below the NAAQS accounting for those controls. The local meteorology along with the facility's location would encourage transport and dispersion of pollutant emissions. Therefore, the impacts to local air quality from the proposed project are not expected to be significant.

Furthermore, the permit contains a provision stating, "this MNSR permit will not contribute to National Ambient Air Quality Standards violations, or have potentially adverse effects on ambient air quality." Noncompliance with this permit provision would be a violation of the permit and would be grounds for enforcement action and for permit termination or revocation. As a result, we conclude that issuance of the aforementioned permit will not have disproportionately high or adverse human health effects on any communities in the vicinity of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

Tribal Consultation and Enhanced Public Participation

Given the presence of potentially overburdened communities in the vicinity of the facility, we are providing an enhanced public participation process for this permit.

 Interested parties can subscribe to an EPA email list that notifies them of public comment opportunities on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation for proposed air pollution control permits via email at http://www2.epa.gov/region8/air-permit-public-comment-opportunities.

 All minor source permit applications (synthetic minor, modification to an existing facility, new true minor or general permit) are submitted to both the SUIT and the EPA per the application instructions (see http://www2.epa.gov/region8/tribal-minor-new-source-review-permitting).

 The Tribe is asked to respond within 10 business days to the EPA with questions and comments on the application.

 In the event an AQIA is triggered, we email a copy of that document to the Tribe within 5 business days from the date we receive it.

 We notify the Tribe of the public comment period for the proposed permit and provide copies of the notice of public comment opportunity to post in various locations of their choosing on the Reservation. We also notify the Tribe of the issuance of the final permit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2006-10-16, Amendment 39-14600 (71 FR 28570,
May 17, 2006) (``AD 2006-10-16''). AD 2006-10-16 applies to all The
Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
November 27, 2015 (80 FR 74052) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted
by reports of cracking found in the splice plates, hinge fittings,
terminal fittings, the upper skin of the outboard and center sections,
upper chord, and rear spar webs before reaching the inspection interval
specified in AD 2006-10-16. Cracked and fractured Maraging steel
fasteners were also found. The NPRM proposed to reduce the compliance
time for certain inspections and add repetitive inspections for
cracking of the splice plates, hinge fittings, terminal fittings, upper
skin of the outboard and center sections, and rear spar webs in Zone B.
The NPRM also proposed to require an inspection to determine whether
fasteners are magnetic in Zone C, repetitive ultrasonic inspections for
cracking and fractures of affected fasteners, and related investigative
and corrective actions if necessary. The NPRM also added an optional
modification, which would terminate certain repetitive inspections,
provided post-modification inspections and corrective action are done
if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct this
cracking, which could lead to reduced structural capability of the
outboard and center sections of the horizontal stabilizer and could
result in loss of control of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Clarify Inspections

    Atlas Airlines, United Airlines, and The Boeing Company requested
that we clarify the inspection required by the proposed AD. Atlas
Airlines stated that the ``Proposed AD Requirements'' paragraph of the
NPRM states that the proposed AD would retain all the requirements of
AD 2006-10-16. Atlas Airlines also stated that paragraph (f) of AD
2006-10-16 is not included in the proposed AD and noted that paragraph
(g)(3) of the proposed AD identifies only Groups 7 through 9 as the
applicable groups for the Zone A inspections. Atlas Airlines asked for
clarification of the Zone A inspections.
    Boeing noted that AD 2006-10-16 includes Zone C inspections as
specified in Part 5 of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 1,
dated May 1, 2003, and included Zone A inspections for Groups 1 through
6. Boeing noted that these inspections have not been removed by Boeing
Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated January 23, 2015.
Boeing also requested that we revise the proposed AD to address the
Zone C inspections in Part 5 of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050,
Revision 2, dated January 23, 2015, and the Zone A inspections for
Groups 1 through 6.
    United Airlines disagreed with not restating the requirements of AD
2006-10-16. United Airlines stated that operators might miss that Zone
A inspections and Zone C, Part 5, inspections required by AD 2006-10-16
are intended to be mandated. United Airlines noted that although the
preamble of the NPRM stated that all inspections of AD 2006-10-16 are
retained, paragraph (g) of the proposed AD only specifies new
requirements and does not include certain Zone A inspections and Zone
C, Part 5, inspections.
    We agree that clarification is necessary. As stated in the preamble
to the NPRM, we intended to retain all requirements of AD 2006-10-16.
However, the actions specified in the proposed AD do not include the
inspections referred to by the commenters. We have determined that
instead of including those actions in this final rule, we will issue
this action as a stand-alone AD. Thus, AD 2006-10-16 is not superseded,
making it clear that all actions in AD 2006-10-16 continue to be
required. In addition, we have revised this AD to specify when
accomplishing certain actions in this AD terminates actions specified
in AD 2006-10-16. We have made the following changes:
     Revised paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to specify that
accomplishing a Zone B inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this
AD terminates the inspections required by paragraph (g) of AD 2006-10-
16 for the inspected area only.
     Revised paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to specify that
accomplishing a Zone B inspection required by paragraph (g)(2) of this
AD terminates the inspections required by paragraph (i) of AD 2006-10-
16 for the inspected area only.
     Revised paragraph (g)(3) of this AD to specify that
accomplishing Zone A and Zone B inspections required by

paragraph (g)(3) of this AD terminates the inspections required by
paragraphs (f), (i), and (l) of AD 2006-10-16 for the inspected area
only.
     Added paragraph (i)(1)(iii) to this AD to clarify that
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (i)(1) of this AD
terminates inspections required by paragraph (g) of AD 2006-10-16 for
Zone B, as specified in Part 3 of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated January 23,
2015, for the modified area only.
     Added paragraph (i)(1)(iv) to this AD to clarify that
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (i) of this AD
terminates inspections required by paragraph (k) of AD 2006-10-16 for
Zone C, as specified in Part 5 of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated January 23,
2015, for the modified area only.
     Added paragraph (i)(2)(ii) of this AD to clarify that
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (i)(2) of this AD
terminates the repetitive inspections required by paragraph (k) of AD
2006-10-16 for Zone C, as specified in Part 5 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated
January 23, 2015, for the inspected area only.
     Added paragraph (i)(3)(ii) of this AD to clarify that
accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (i)(3) of this AD
terminates the repetitive inspections required by paragraph (i) of AD
2006-10-16 for Zone B, as specified in Part 4 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated
January 23, 2015, for the modified area only.

Request To Update Terminating Action Language for Zone C Inspections

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraph (i)(2) of the proposed AD
to clarify which Zone C inspections are terminated. Boeing noted that
paragraph (i)(2) of the proposed AD specifies that the actions
terminate Zone C inspections specified in Part 6 of Boeing Service
Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated January 23, 2015, and noted
that Zone C inspections in Part 5 of Boeing Service Bulletin 747-
55A2050, Revision 2, dated January 23, 2015, are also terminated.
    We agree to clarify the terminating action for the Zone C
inspections, and have revised paragraph (i)(2) of this AD accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the change described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 747-55A2050, Revision 2, dated
January 23, 2015. The service information describes procedures for
accomplishing Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C inspections for cracking of
the upper skin and upper rear spar chord of the outboard and center
sections of the horizontal stabilizer, and related investigative and
corrective actions if necessary. The service information also describes
procedures for a magnetic inspection to determine the type of
fasteners, ultrasonic inspections for cracking and fractures of
affected fasteners, and related investigative and corrective actions if
necessary. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 116 airplanes of U.S. registry.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (20-5.B)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing 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 would require
persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture
(defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these
chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant
new use by this proposed rule. This action would further require that
persons not commence manufacture or processing for the significant new
use until they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice, and EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on
the notice under TSCA, and has taken any risk management actions as are
required as a result of that determination.

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 proposed
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 the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Chemical
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import
provisions. This action may also affect certain entities through pre-
existing import certification and export notification rules under TSCA,
which would include the SNUR requirements should these proposed rules
be finalized. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears
at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20,
any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is
the subject of this proposed rule on or after June 18, 2020 are subject
to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C.
2611(b)) and must comply with the export notification requirements in
40 CFR part 707, subpart D.

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

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI 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. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing these SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C.
2604(a)(2)) for chemical substances which are the subjects of PMNs P-
17-86, P-17-294, P-18-262, P-19-136, P-19-174, P-20-41, and P-20-52.
These proposed SNURs would 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.
    The record for the proposed SNURs on these chemicals was
established as docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0222. That record includes
information considered by the Agency in developing these proposed
SNURs.

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 TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors
listed in Unit III.

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. Pursuant to
40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the
same 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 sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1) (15 U.S.C. 2604(b) and
2604(d)(1)), the exemptions authorized by TSCA sections 5(h)(1),
5(h)(2), 5(h)(3), and 5(h)(5) and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720.
Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury under the conditions
of use for the chemical substance 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 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 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. Substances Subject to This Proposed Rule

    EPA is proposing significant new use and recordkeeping requirements
for several chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In this
unit, EPA provides the following information for each chemical
substance:
     PMN number.
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
     Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the SNUR.
     Potentially Useful Information.
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
these proposed rules.
    The regulatory text section of these proposed rules specifies the
activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses,
including production volume limits and other uses designated in the
proposed rules, may be claimed as CBI.
    The chemical substances that are the subject of these proposed
SNURs are undergoing 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. EPA is proposing to designate these reasonably
foreseen and other potential conditions of use as significant new uses.
As a result, those conditions of use are no longer reasonably foreseen
to occur without first going through a separate, subsequent EPA review
and determination process associated with a SNUN.
    The substances subject to these proposed rules are as follows:

PMN Number: P-17-86

    Chemical names: Cycloalkyl, bis(ethoxyalkyl)-, cis- (generic) (P-
17-86, chemical A) and Cycloalkyl, bis(ethoxyalkyl)-, trans- (generic)
(P-17-86, chemical B).
    CAS numbers: Not available (P-17-86, chemical A) and Not available
(P-17-86, chemical B).
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substances will be as a fragrance chemical.
Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance and
Structure Activity Relationships (SAR) analysis of test data on
analogous substances, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive
toxicity, skin irritation, and specific target organ toxicity if the
chemicals are not used following the limitations noted. The conditions
of use of the PMN substances as described in the PMN include the
following protective measures:
     Processing the PMN substances to a concentration greater
than 1.5% (by weight) in the final consumer product.
     Manufacturing and processing release of the PMN substances
resulting in surface water concentrations that exceed 330 parts per
billion (ppb). Processors receiving the PMN substances from fragrance
compounding processors at concentrations below 10% (by weight) are
exempt from the water release provisions.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the exposure to the PMN substances may be potentially
useful to characterize the health effects of the PMN substances if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA
has determined that the results of environmental exposure monitoring
would help characterize the potential health effects of the PMN
substances.
    CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.11490 (P-17-86, chemical A); 40 CFR
721.11491 (P-17-86, chemical B).

PMN Number: P-17-294

    Chemical name: 2-Butanone, 3-methyl-, peroxide.
    CAS number: 182893-11-4.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will
be as an organic peroxide polymerization initiator for unsaturated
acrylic, unsaturated polyester, and vinyl ester resins used in
traditional acrylic systems such as acrylic solid surface, acrylic
adhesives, acrylic castings and acrylic coatings. Based on the
physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance and submitted test
data, EPA has identified concerns for respiratory sensitization,
serious eye damage, skin corrosion, skin sensitization, and specific
target organ toxicity if the chemical is not used following the
limitations noted. The conditions of use of the PMN substance as
described in the PMN include the following protective measures:
     Use without personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure.
     Use without a National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH)-certified air purifying, tight-fitting full-face
respirator with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of at

least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposures.
     Use other than as an organic peroxide polymerization
initiator.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the exposure to the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the effects of the PMN substance if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA
has determined that the results of workplace exposure monitoring would
help characterize the potential effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11492 (P-17-294).

PMN Number: P-18-262.

    Chemical name: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, dodecyl ester, polymer
with ammonium 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonate (1:1), N,N-dimethyl-2-propenamide and .alpha.-(2-
methyl-1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)-.omega.-(dodecyloxy)poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl).
    CAS number: 1190091-71-4.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will
be as a suspension stabilizer for detergents, consistent with the
manufacturing, processing, use, distribution, and disposal information
described in the PMN. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the
PMN substance and SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances,
EPA has identified concerns for developmental, eye irritation, gene
cell mutagenicity, hematotoxicity, neurotoxicity, skin irritation, and
specific target organ toxicity if the chemical is not used following
the limitations noted. The conditions of use of the PMN substance as
described in the PMN include the following protective measures:
     Use other than for the confidential uses specified in the
PMN.
     Processing of the PMN substance above the confidential
percentage in formulation specified in the PMN for use in consumer
products.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA
has determined that the results of eye irritation/corrosion, genetic
toxicity, neurotoxicity, skin irritation/corrosion, and specific target
organ toxicity would help characterize the potential health effects of
the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11493 (P-18-262).

PMN Number: P-19-136

    Chemical name: Iso-alkylamine, N-isoalkyl-N-methyl (generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will
be as intermediate. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the
PMN substance and SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances,
EPA has identified concerns for eye irritation, skin irritation, and
specific target organ toxicity if the chemical is not used following
the limitations noted. The conditions of use of the PMN substance as
described in the PMN include the following protective measure:
     Use other than as a chemical intermediate.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of this protective measure.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA
has determined that the results of eye irritation/corrosion, skin
irritation/corrosion, and specific target organ toxicity would help
characterize the potential health effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11494 (P-19-136).

PMN Number: P-19-174

    Chemical name: Octadecanoic acid, (alkylphosphinyl), polyol ester
(generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a phosphorus anti-wear
compound. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN
substance and SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances, EPA
has identified concerns for eye irritation, reproductive toxicity, skin
irritation, and specific target organ toxicity if the chemical is not
used following the limitations noted. The conditions of use of the PMN
substance as described in the PMN include the following protective
measures:
     Manufacture, process, or use the PMN substance in any
manner that results in inhalation exposure.
     Process the PMN substance above the confidential
percentage in formulation specified in the PMN for use in consumer
products.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA
has determined that the results of developmental toxicity, eye damage,
reproductive toxicity, skin irritation, and specific target organ
toxicity would help characterize the potential health effects of the
PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11495 (P-19-174).

PMN Number: P-20-41

    Chemical name: 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, polymer with 3-methyl-
1,5-pentanediol.
    CAS number: 76962-70-4.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a chemical intermediate
for coatings. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN
substance and SAR analysis of test data on analogous substances, EPA
has identified concerns for acute oral toxicity, developmental effects,
eye irritation, systemic effects, and aquatic toxicity if the chemical
is not used following the limitations noted. The conditions of use of
the PMN substance as described in the PMN include the following
protective measures:
     Use other than for the confidential uses specified in the
PMN.
     Release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN
substance if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by this
proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of eye irritation
and aquatic

toxicity testing would help characterize the potential health and
environmental effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11496 (P-20-41).

PMN Number: P-20-52

    Chemical name: Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane,
mono(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate).
    CAS number: 148263-50-7.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will
be as a liquid shrinkage reducing admixture for concrete. Based on the
physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance and SAR analysis of
test data on analogous substances, EPA has identified concerns for
aquatic toxicity, eye irritation, kidney and liver effects, and
developmental toxicity, lung irritation and lung effects, skin
irritation, and specific target organ toxicity if the chemical is not
used following the limitations noted. The conditions of use of the PMN
substance as described in the PMN include the following protective
measures:
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product.
     No use other than as a liquid shrinkage reducing admixture
for concrete.
     No changes in manufacture, processing or use of the PMN
substance resulting in inhalation exposures.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the toxicity of the PMN substance may be potentially
useful to characterize the environmental and health effects of the PMN
substance if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by this
proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of aquatic toxicity,
developmental toxicity, pulmonary effects, and specific target organ
toxicity would help characterize the potential environmental and health
effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11497 (P-20-52).

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Proposed Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are the subject of these proposed SNURs and as further discussed
in Unit IV, EPA identified certain other reasonably foreseen conditions
of use, in addition to those conditions of use intended by the
submitter. EPA has preliminarily determined that the chemical under the
intended conditions of use is not likely to present an unreasonable
risk. However, EPA has not assessed risks associated with the
reasonably foreseen conditions of use. EPA is proposing to designate
these conditions of use as significant new uses to ensure that they are
no longer reasonably foreseen to occur without first going through a
separate, subsequent EPA review and determination process associated
with a SNUN.

B. Objectives

    EPA is proposing these SNURs because the Agency wants:
     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.
     To be able to complete its review and determination on
each of the PMN substances, while deferring analysis on the significant
new uses proposed in these rules unless and until the Agency receives a
SNUN.
    Issuance of a proposed SNUR for a chemical substance does not
signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory.
Guidance on how to determine if a chemical substance is on the TSCA
Inventory is available on the internet at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.

VI. Applicability of the Proposed Rules to Uses Occurring Before the
Effective Date of the Final Rule

    To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this proposed rule
were undergoing premanufacture review at the time of signature of this
proposed rule and were not on the TSCA Inventory. 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
the chemical substances subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA concludes
that the proposed significant new uses are not ongoing.
    EPA designates May 4, 2020 (date of web posting of this proposed
rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is
ongoing. The objective of EPA's approach is to ensure that a person
cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use before the
effective date of the final rule.
    Persons who begin commercial manufacture or processing of the
chemical substances for a significant new use identified on or after
that date would have to cease any such activity upon the effective date
of the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons would have
to first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and
EPA would have to take action under section 5 allowing manufacture or
processing to proceed. In developing this proposed rule, EPA has
recognized that, given EPA's general practice of posting proposed rules
on its website a week or more in advance of Federal Register
publication, this objective could be thwarted even before Federal
Register publication of the proposed rule.

VII. 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. lists potentially
useful information for all SNURs listed here. Descriptions are provided
for informational purposes. The potentially

useful information identified in Unit IV. 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, which may assist with EPA's analysis of the SNUN.
    EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. Furthermore,
pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing
in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation with the Agency on
the use of alternative test methods and strategies (also called New
Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if available, to generate the
recommended test data. EPA encourages dialog with Agency
representatives to help determine how best the submitter can meet both
the data needs and the objective of TSCA section 4(h).
    The potentially useful information described in Unit IV. 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 be aware that EPA will be better able to
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following:
     Human exposure and environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.

VIII. 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 https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.

IX. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical
substances subject to this proposed rule. EPA's complete economic
analysis is available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-
2020-0222.

X. 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 proposed rule would establish SNURs for 8 new chemical
substances that were the subject of PMNs. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) 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 PRA, unless
it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of
the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
    The information collection requirements related to this action have
already been approved by OMB pursuant to 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
through the use of 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 section 605(b) of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., the
Agency hereby certifies that promulgation of this proposed SNUR would
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. Although some small entities may decide to pursue a
significant new use in the future, EPA cannot presently determine how
many, if any, there may be. However, EPA's experience to date is that,
in response to the promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals,
the Agency receives only a small number of notices per year. For
example, the number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year
(FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in FY2015, 12 in FY2016, 13 in FY2017, and
11 in FY2018, 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
proposed 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 proposed rule. As such, EPA has determined that this proposed rule
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. 1531-1538
et seq.).

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action would 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 would not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This
action would 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 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)

    In addition, 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).
