SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Meeting

    OSHA is hosting an open informal public meeting of the U.S.
Interagency GHS Coordinating Group to provide interested groups and
individuals with an update on GHS-related issues and an opportunity to
express their views orally and in writing for consideration in
developing U.S. Government positions for the upcoming UNSCEGHS meeting.
Interested stakeholders may also provide input on issues related to the
RCC at the meeting. The public is invited to attend without prior
notification. The meeting agenda, in general, is as follows:
     Discussion of working papers for the 23rd Session of the
UNSCEGHS,
     Update on UNSCEGHS correspondence group activity, and
     Update of RCC activity and discussion of issues.

OSHA does not seek stakeholder consensus in this meeting, but rather to
learn stakeholders' individual views on these issues and receive any
relevant information they may have.

II. Background

    The GHS was formally adopted by the United Nations Committee of
Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals in
December 2002. The GHS is a single, harmonized system for
classification of chemicals according to their health, physical, and
environmental effects. It also provides harmonized communication
elements, including labels and safety data sheets. The GHS is
considered to be a living document and is regularly revised and updated
as necessary to reflect new technology and scientific developments or
to provide additional explanatory text.
    The UNSCEGHS is responsible for maintaining and updating the GHS.
The U.S. has been an active member of the UNSCEGHS for many years, and
OSHA currently serves as the head of the U.S. delegation for this Sub-
committee.
    In preparation for the biannual meetings of the UNSCEGHS, the U.S.
Interagency GHS Coordinating Group

meets to discuss issues related to the GHS and to develop a coordinated
U.S. position on issues and proposals regarding the GHS. The U.S.
Interagency Coordinating Group consists of U.S. agencies that regulate
in the areas of chemical hazard communication and include the
Department of Transportation (DOT), the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and OSHA.
    Information on the work of the UNSCEGHS including meeting agendas,
reports, and documents from previous sessions, can be found on the
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Transport
Division Web site located at the following web address: http://www.unece.org/trans/welcome.html. The UNSCEGHS bases its decisions on
Working Papers. The Working Papers for the 23rd session of the UNSCEGHS
are located at http://www.unece.org/trans/main/dgdb/dgsubc4/c42012.html. Informal Papers submitted to the UNSCEGHS provide
information for the subcommittee and are used either as a mechanism to
provide information to the subcommittee or as the basis for future
Working Papers. Informal Papers for the 23rd session of the UNSCEGHS
are located at http://www.unece.org/trans/main/dgdb/dgsubc4/c4inf23.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 01/01/2021 to 01/31/2021. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the TSCA section 5 PMN/SNUN/
MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a chemical substance may be
either an ``existing'' chemical substance or a ``new'' chemical
substance. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory
of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ``new
chemical substance,'' while a chemical substance that is listed on the
TSCA Inventory is classified as an ``existing chemical substance.''
(See TSCA section 3(11).) For more information about the TSCA Inventory
please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate,
before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk
determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and
take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME.
For more information about the requirements applicable to a new
chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?

    No.

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

    1. Submitting confidential business information (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. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA published individual notices reflecting the status
of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In 1995, the
Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information published
in the Federal Register after providing notice of such changes to the
public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal Register of May
12, 1995, (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage of the
Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in information
on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in particular,
the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an effort to
be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the TSCA section 5 PMN/SNUN/
MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that

indicates whether the submission is an initial submission or an
amendment, along with a notation of which version was received; the
date the notice was received by EPA; the submitting manufacturer (i.e.,
domestic producer or importer); the potential uses identified by the
manufacturer in the notice; and the chemical substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57918; File No. SR-Amex-2008-42]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; American Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change Relating to Equity Linked Term Notes

June 4, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on May 16, 2008, the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the Exchange.
This order provides notice of the proposed rule change and approves it
on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to revise Section 107B of the Amex Company
Guide (``Company Guide'') to clarify that Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act
\3\ applies to the listing of equity-linked term notes (``ELNs'') \4\
that meet the generic listing criteria of Section 107B. The text of the
proposed rule change is available at Amex's principal office, the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.amex.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e).
    \4\ ELNs are the non-convertible debt of an issuer, whose value
is based, at least in part, on the value of another issuer's common
stock or non-convertible preferred stock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, Amex included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item III below. Amex has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Section 107B of the Amex Company Guide details the Exchange's
listing criteria for ELNs. The original listing criteria for Section
107B were approved in 1990 and amended to reflect specific standards
for ELNs \5\ prior to the adoption of Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act.\6\
The listing criteria allowed Amex to list ELNs that met the standards
set forth in Section 107B of the Company Guide. In this manner, the
Exchange was able to list ELNs linked to a basket of up to 30
securities, as long as specified standards were met.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 27753 (March 1,
1990), 55 FR 8626 (March 8, 1990) (SR-Amex-89-29) (approving listing
standards to accommodate new securities not readily categorized
under Amex's traditional listing guidelines for common and preferred
stocks, bonds, debentures, and warrants); Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 32343 (May 20, 1993), 58 FR 30833 (May 27, 1993) (SR-
Amex-92-42) (approving rules for the listing and trading of ELNs
based on a single security).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 40761 (December 8,
1998), 63 FR 70952 (December 22, 1998) (New Products Release
adopting Rule 19b-4(e)).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 42582 (March 27,
2000), 65 FR 17685 (April 4, 2000) (SR-Amex-99-42) (approving
listing standards for ELNs based on a basket of up to 20 equity
securities); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47055 (December 19,
2002), 67 FR 79669 (December 30, 2002) (SR-Amex-2002-110) (amending
the standards to allow for the listing of ELNs based on a basket of
up to 30 equity securities). Clarified in an e-mail from Jeffrey
Burns, Vice President and Associate General Counsel, Amex, to Mitra
Mehr, Special Counsel, Division of Trading and Markets, Commission,
dated June 2, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 19b-4(e) provides that the listing and trading of a new
derivative securities product by a self-regulatory organization shall
not be deemed a proposed rule change, pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of
Rule 19b-4,\8\ if the Commission has approved, pursuant to Section
19(b) of the Act,\9\ the self-regulatory organization's trading rules,
procedures, and listing criteria for the product class that would
include the new derivative securities product, and the self-regulatory
organization has a surveillance program for the product class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(c)(1).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to revise Section 107B of the Company Guide,
which sets forth Amex's listing criteria for ELNs, to clarify that the
listing and trading of ELNs on Amex is subject to Rule 19b-4(e) under
the Act. Section 107B of the Company Guide would provide that income
instruments which are linked, in whole or in part, to the market
performance of up to 30 common stocks or non-convertible preferred
stocks will be considered for listing, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under
the Act, as long as the applicable conditions set forth in Section 107B
are met. Thus, within five business days after commencement of trading
of an ELN in reliance on Section 107B, the Exchange would file a Form
19b-4(e) with the Commission.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act
\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act \11\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange submits that the proposal meets the forgoing
objectives by clarifying the application of Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act
to Section 107B of the Company Guide and providing notice to the
Commission of new products listed under Section 107B.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Amex does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://
www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml ); or
     Send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please include
File Number SR-Amex-2008-42 on the subject line.

Paper Comments

     Send paper comments in triplicate to Secretary, Securities
and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090.

All submissions should refer to File Number SR-Amex-2008-42. This file
number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used. To
help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently,
please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on
the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml
). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written
statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with
the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed
rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those
that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions
of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and copying in the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC
20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3
p.m. Copies of the filing also will be available for inspection and
copying at the principal office of the Exchange. All comments received
will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal
identifying information from submissions. You should submit only
information that you wish to make available publicly. All submissions
should refer to File Number SR-Amex-2008-42 and should be submitted on
or before July 2, 2008.

III. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
the Proposed Rule Change

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\12\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \13\--which
requires that the rules of an exchange be designed, among other things,
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and

open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest--because it seeks to clarify that the
Exchange's listing and trading of ELNs is subject to Rule 19b-4(e)
under the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds good cause for approving this proposal before
the 30th day after the publication of notice thereof in the Federal
Register. The Commission notes that it has recently approved similar
proposals of other exchanges,\14\ and Amex's proposal does not raise
any novel regulatory issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Chicago Board Options Exchange Rule 31.5;
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57758 (May 1, 2008), 73 FR 25814
(May 7, 2008) (SR-CBOE-2008-44).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\15\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Amex-2008-42) be, and it
hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\16\

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0020]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated February 4, 2013, GE Transportation (GE) has petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained
at 49 CFR Part 232--Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other
Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment; End-of-Train Devices. FRA assigned
the petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0020.
    Specifically, GE requests relief from 49 CFR 232.409(d), Inspection
and testing of end-of-train devices, as applied to its STR-1821 dual
receive data transceivers. The current rule requires telemetry
equipment to be tested for accuracy and calibrated, if necessary, at
least every 368 days. The date and location of the last calibration or
test, as well as the name of the person performing the calibration or
test, must be legibly displayed on a weather-resistant sticker or other
marking device affixed to the outside of both the front and rear of the
unit.
    In its petition, GE states that the STR-1821 radio is the type
accepted by the Federal Communications Commission under a Grant of
Equipment Authorization with identifier OQW-STR1820. Prior to shipment,
each STR-1821 is tested by its supplier, Summation Research, Inc.
(SRI), to specifications including frequency and modulation. SRI then
affixes a sticker that indicates the date the unit passed testing.
These transceivers use a master reference oscillator to determine the
frequency stability of the transmitted signal. The actual transmitted
signal is phase-locked to this master oscillator by the phase-locked
loop (PLL). Circuitry within the PLL determines when the system is in
``lock'' and will prevent or inhibit transmission if the transmitted
signal is not in frequency. The master oscillator itself is specified
to a much higher stability than the resulting transmitted frequency
required by Federal regulations. This oscillator is used in all of
SRI's mobile data radio offerings and, to date, has never failed due to
being out of tolerance. GE states that, due to the transceiver's
development history, key features, and proven performance, approval of
this waiver request to eliminate annual calibration will be in the
public interest and consistent with public safety.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations
Facility is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
