Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 25 chemical substances
which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). Nine of these
chemical substances are subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders
issued by EPA. This action requires persons who intend to manufacture
(including import) or process any of these 25 chemical substances for
an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule to
notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The
required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate
the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity
before it occurs.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 7, 2015. For purposes of judicial
review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on May 22,
2015.
    Written adverse or critical comments, or notice of intent to submit
adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these SNURs must be
received on or before June 8, 2015 (see Unit VI. of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION). If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more
of these SNURs before June 8, 2015, EPA will withdraw the relevant
sections of this direct final rule before its effective date.
    For additional information on related reporting requirement dates,

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 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 TSCA. Chemical
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import
certification requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127
and 19 CFR 127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of
the chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and orders
under TSCA. Importers of chemicals subject to these SNURs must certify
their compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support
of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In
addition, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical
substance that is the subject of a proposed or final rule are subject
to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C.
2611(b)) (see Sec.  721.20), 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 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. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    EPA is promulgating these SNURs using direct final procedures.
These SNURs will require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical substance for
any activity designated by these SNURs as a significant new use.
Receipt of such notices allows EPA to assess risks that may be
presented by the intended uses and, if appropriate, to regulate the
proposed use before it occurs. Additional rationale and background to
these rules are more fully set out in the preamble to EPA's first
direct final SNUR published in the Federal Register issue of April 24,
1990 (55 FR 17376) (FRL-3658-5). Consult that preamble for further
information on the objectives, rationale, and procedures for SNURs and
on the basis for significant new use designations, including provisions
for developing test data.

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

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (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 bulleted TSCA
section 5(a)(2) factors listed in Unit III. Once EPA determines that a
use of a chemical substance is a significant new use, TSCA section
5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a significant new use notice
(SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture or process the
chemical substance for that use. Persons who must report are described
in Sec.  721.5.

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. According
to Sec.  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 section 5(b)
and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA section 5(h)(1), (h)(2),
(h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA
receives a SNUN, EPA may take regulatory action under TSCA section
5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to control the activities for which it has received
the SNUN. If EPA does not take action, EPA is required under TSCA
section 5(g) to explain in the Federal Register its reasons for not
taking action.

III. Significant New Use Determination

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA 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 addition to these factors enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2),
the statute authorized EPA to consider any other relevant factors.
    To determine what would constitute a significant new use for the 25
chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered
relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances,
likely human exposures and environmental releases associated with
possible uses, and the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors
listed in this unit.

IV. Substances Subject to This Rule

    EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping
requirements for 25 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 (assigned
for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the TSCA section 5(e) consent order or the basis
for the TSCA non-section 5(e) SNURs (i.e., SNURs without TSCA section
5(e) consent orders).
     Tests recommended by EPA to provide sufficient information
to evaluate the chemical substance (see Unit VIII. for more
information).
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
this rule.
    The regulatory text section of this rule specifies the activities
designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including
production volume limits (i.e., limits on manufacture volume) and other
uses designated in this rule, may be claimed as CBI. Unit IX. discusses
a procedure companies may use to ascertain whether a proposed use
constitutes a significant new use.
    This rule includes nine PMN substances (P-12-115, P-12-116, P-13-
568, P-13-646, P-13-647, P-13-648, P-13-649, P-13-678, and P-13-679)
that are subject to ``risk-based'' consent orders under TSCA section
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) where EPA determined that activities associated with
the PMN substances may present unreasonable risk to human health or the
environment. Those consent orders require protective measures to limit
exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The
so-called ``TSCA section 5(e) SNURs'' on these PMN substances are
promulgated pursuant to Sec.  721.160, and are based on and consistent
with the provisions in the underlying consent orders. The TSCA section
5(e) SNURs designate as a ``significant new use'' the absence of the
protective measures required in the corresponding consent orders.
    This rule also includes SNURs on 16 PMN substances that are not
subject to consent orders under TSCA section 5(e). In these cases, for
a variety of reasons, EPA did not find that the use scenario described
in the PMN triggered the determinations set forth under TSCA section
5(e). However, EPA does believe that certain changes from the use
scenario described in the PMN could result in increased exposures,
thereby constituting a ``significant new use.'' These so-called ``TSCA
non-section 5(e) SNURs'' are promulgated pursuant to Sec.  721.170. EPA
has determined that every activity designated as a ``significant new
use'' in all TSCA non-section 5(e) SNURs issued under Sec.  721.170
satisfies the two requirements stipulated in Sec.  721.170(c)(2), i.e.,
these significant new use activities are different from those described
in the premanufacture notice for the substance, including any
amendments, deletions, and additions of activities to the
premanufacture notice, and may be accompanied by changes in exposure or
release levels that are significant in relation to the health or
environmental concerns identified'' for the PMN substance.

PMN Numbers P-12-115, P-12-116, and P-13-568

    Chemical names: (P-12-115) Alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (generic) and
(P-12-116 and P-13-568) Benzenesulfonic acid, dimethyl-, alkyl
derivatives, sodium salt (generic).
    CAS numbers: Claimed confidential.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) consent orders: August 1, 2014
(P-12-115 and P-12-116) and July 2, 2014 (P-13-568).
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent orders: The PMNs state that P-
12-115 will be used as a chemical intermediate to prepare an
interfacial tension reducer for enhanced oil recovery, P-12-116 will be
used as an interfacial tension reducer for enhanced oil recovery, and
P-13-568 will be used generically in enhanced oil recovery
applications. Based on surfactant properties and SAR analysis of test
data on PMN substance P-13-568 and other analogous substances, EPA
identified concerns for corrosion to the eyes, mucous membranes, lungs,
and skin. In addition, based on test data on the PMN substances P-12-
116 and P-13-568, as well as test data on analogous substances, EPA
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms at concentrations that exceed 4
parts per billion (ppb) of the PMN substances in surface waters. The
consent order for PMNs P-12-115 and

P-12-116 was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) based on a finding that the uncontrolled manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use and disposal of the PMN
substances may present an unreasonable risk to the environment. The
consent order for PMN P-13-568 was issued under TSCA sections
5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) based on a finding that that the
uncontrolled manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use and
disposal of the PMN substance may present an unreasonable risk to human
health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the consent
orders require:
    1. Manufacturing, processing, or use of the PMN substance P-12-115
only as a chemical intermediate to prepare an interfacial tension
reducer for enhanced oil recovery.
    2. Manufacturing, processing, or use of the PMN substance
identified as P-12-116 and P-13-568 only as an interfacial tension
reducer for enhanced oil recovery or for the specific confidential
enhanced oil recovery applications described in the consent order for
PMN P-13-568.
    3. No predictable or purposeful release of the PMN substances from
manufacturing, processing or use into the waters of the United States
that result in surface water concentrations exceeding 4 ppb.
    4. Individual aggregate production volume limits for the PMN
substance identified as P-12-116 and P-13-568 shall not exceed the
confidential production limit identified in the consent order for PMN
P-13-568.
    5. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program,
including environmental hazard precautionary statements on each label
and the MSDS for the PMN substance P-12-115.
    6. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program,
including human health and environmental hazard precautionary
statements on each label and the MSDS for the PMN substance identified
as P-12-116 and P-13-568.
    The SNUR designates as a ``significant new use'' the absence of
these protective measures.
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) in clean
dilution water; and a daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 850.1300) would help characterize the environmental effects
of the PMN substances.
    CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.10812 (P-12-115) and 40 CFR 721.10813 (P-
12-116 and P-13-568).

PMN Number P-12-397

    Chemical name: 2-Propenoic acid, 3-phenyl-, zinc salt (2:1), (2E)-.
    CAS number: 18957-59-0.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the PMN substance will be
used as a reinforcing additive in polyolefins. Based on structure
activity relationship (SAR) analysis of test data on analogous zinc
salts, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 3 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters
for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is derived
from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early-life
stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration. EPA
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the
substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the
PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use
described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 3 ppb for
more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the
proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present
an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the
substance other than as a reinforcing additive in polyolefins may
result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an acute invertebrate toxicity test, freshwater daphnids
(OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test
Guideline 850.4500); and a ready biodegradability test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 835.3110) would help characterize the environmental effects
of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10814.

PMN Number P-13-139

    Chemical name: Fatty acids, satd. and unsatd alkyl-, esters with
polyol (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the substance will be used as
an ingredient in multipurpose additive in gasoline to reduce friction
in engines. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous nonionic
surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 190 ppb of the PMN substance in surface
waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is
derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early-
life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration.
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the
substance to surface water, from uses other than as described in the
PMN, exceed releases from the use described in the PMN. For the use
described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 190 ppb for
more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the
proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present
an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the
substance other than as an ingredient in multipurpose additive in
gasoline to reduce friction in engines may result in significant
adverse environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an acute invertebrate toxicity test, freshwater daphnids
(OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test
Guideline 850.4500) would help characterize the environmental effects
of the PMN substance. EPA also recommends that the guidance document on
aquatic toxicity testing of difficult substance and mixtures
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Test
Guideline 23) be consulted to facilitate solubility in the test media.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10815.

PMN Numbers P-13-646, P-13-647, P-13-648, P-13-649, P-13-678, and P-13-
679

    Chemical names: (P-13-646 and P-13-648) Fluoroalkyl acrylate
copolymer modified with polysiloxanes (generic); (P-13-647, P-13-649,
and P-13-679) Fluoroalkyl acrylate copolymer (generic); and (P-13-678)
Fluoroalkyl methacrylate copolymer (generic).
    CAS numbers: Claimed confidential.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) consent order: August 4, 2014.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) consent order: The PMNs state that the
generic (non-confidential) use of the substances will be as a tile
treatment (P-13-646 and P-13-648), a textile treatment (P-13-647 and P-
13-649), a water and oil repellent for plastic and inorganic substrates
(P-13-678), and a paper treatment (P-13-679). EPA has concerns for
potential incineration or other decomposition products of the PMN
substances. These perfluorinated decomposition products may be

released to the environment from incomplete incineration of the PMN
substances at low temperatures. EPA has preliminary evidence, including
data on some fluorinated polymers, which suggests that, under some
conditions, the PMN substances could degrade in the environment. EPA
has concerns that these degradation products will persist in the
environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic
(PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. These concerns are based on
data on analogous chemical substances, including perfluorooctanoic acid
(PFOA) and other perfluorinated alkyls, including the presumed
environmental degradant. The order was issued under TSCA sections
5(e)(1)(A)(i), 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a
finding that these substances may present an unreasonable risk of
injury to the environment and human health, the substances may be
produced in substantial quantities and may reasonably be anticipated to
enter the environment in substantial quantities, and there may be
significant (or substantial) human exposure to the substances and their
potential degradation products. To protect against these exposures and
risks, the consent order requires:
    1. Risk notification. If as a result of the test data required, the
company becomes aware that the PMN substances may present a risk of
injury to human health or the environment, the company must incorporate
this new information, and any information on methods for protecting
against such risk into a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), within 90
days.
    2. Submission of certain physical/chemical property and
environmental fate testing prior to exceeding the confidential
production volume limits of the PMN substances specified in the consent
order.
    3. Recording and reporting of certain fluorinated impurities in the
starting raw material; and manufacture of the PMN substances not to
exceed the maximum established impurity levels of certain fluorinated
impurities.
    The SNUR designates as a ``significant new use'' the absence of
these protective measures.
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of certain
toxicity, physical/chemical property and environmental fate testing
identified in the TSCA 5(e) consent order would help characterize
possible effects of the substances and their degradation products. The
Order prohibits the Company from exceeding specified confidential
production volumes unless the Company submits the information described
in the Testing section of this Order in accordance with the conditions
specified in the Testing section. Further, EPA has identified certain
toxicity and environmental fate testing described in the Pended Testing
section of the Preamble to the Order that would help characterize the
PMN substances. The Order does not require submission of the pended
testing at any specified time or production volume. However, the
Order's restrictions on manufacture, processing, distribution in
commerce, use, and disposal of the PMN substances will remain in effect
until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of
that or other relevant information.

721.10817 (P-13-647, P-13-649, and P-13-679); and 40 CFR 721.10818 (P-
13-678).

PMN Number P-13-951

    Chemical name: Zinc carboxylate (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a destructive use in the
manufacture of coating materials and fuels. Based on SAR analysis of
test data on analogous soluble zinc compounds, EPA predicts toxicity to
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 3 ppb of the
PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of
the substance are not expected to result in surface water
concentrations exceeding 3 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that
the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use
of the substance that results in releases to surface waters exceeding 3
ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on
this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a
daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300); and an
algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help
characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. EPA also
recommends that the guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of
difficult substance and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) be consulted
to facilitate solubility in the test media.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10819.

PMN Number P-14-364

    Chemical name: Phenol, styrenated, reaction products with
polyethylene glycol and 2-[(2-propen-1-yloxy)methyl]oxirane.
    CAS number: 1539128-27-2.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the substance will be used as
a reactive emulsifier for manufacturing aqueous emulsion polymers or
alkyd resins, a dispersant for pigments in aqueous or solvent-based
coatings, and an intermediate for production of related anionic
dispersants. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous nonionic
surfactant compounds, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may
occur at concentrations that exceed 170 ppb of the PMN substance in
surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are
not expected to result in surface water concentrations exceeding 170
ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing,
processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk.
EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that results
in releases to surface waters exceeding 170 ppb may result in
significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information,
the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 850.1010); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline
850.4500); and a ready biodegradability test (OECD Test Guideline 301B)
would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10820.

PMN Number P-14-382

    Chemical name: Quaternary ammonium compounds, tri-C8-10-
alkylmethyl, hydrogen sulfates (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a cleaning component for
fuels. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA predicts toxicity
to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of
the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases
of the substance are not expected to result in surface water
concentrations exceeding 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that
the proposed

manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may present an
unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use of the
substance that results in releases to surface waters exceeding 1 ppb
may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(i).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) and a
daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10821.

PMN Number P-14-395

    Chemical name: 1,2,3-Propanetriol, homopolymer, dodecanoate.
    CAS number: 74504-64-6.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a detergent additive.
Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous nonionic surfactant
compounds, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 18 ppb of the PMN substance in surface
waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are not
expected to result in surface water concentrations exceeding 18 ppb.
Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing,
processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk.
EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that results
in releases to surface waters exceeding 18 ppb may result in
significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information,
the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 850.1010); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline
850.4500); and a ready biodegradability test (OECD Test Guideline 301B)
would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
EPA also recommends that the guidance document on aquatic toxicity
testing of difficult substance and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) be
consulted to facilitate solubility in the test media.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10822.

PMN Number P-14-564

    Chemical name: 2-Propenal, 3-[4-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-.
    CAS number: 6975-24-2.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a chemical intermediate
for the synthesis of fragrance compounds. Based on SAR analysis of test
data on analogous vinyl/allyl aldehydes, EPA predicts toxicity to
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the
PMN substance in surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of
the substance are not expected to result in surface water
concentrations exceeding 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that
the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substance may
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use
of the substance that results in releases to surface waters exceeding 1
ppb may result in significant adverse environmental effects. Based on
this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline
850.4500) would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN
substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10823.

PMN Number P-14-594

    Chemical name: Brominated filtration residue (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the substance will be used as
a feed for a bromine recovery unit. Based on the physical/chemical
properties of the PMN substance and test data on structurally similar
substances, the PMN substance is a potentially persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical, as described in the New
Chemical Program's PBT category (64 FR 60194; November 4, 1999)(FRL-
6097-7). EPA estimates that the PMN substance will persist in the
environment more than 2 months and estimates a bioaccumulation factor
of greater than or equal to 1,000. There are also concerns for liver
toxicity based on the brominated phenyl moiety. As described in the PMN
notice, the PMN substance is not released to surface water. Therefore,
EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or
use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has
determined, however, that any use of the substance other than as
described in the PMN and/or any use of the substance resulting in
surface water releases may result in significant adverse health and
environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance
meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170 (b)(3)(ii), (b)(4)(ii), and
(b)(4)(iii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a
partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) test (OPPTS Test Guideline
830.7570/OECD Test Guideline 117); a ready biodegradability test (OPPTS
Test Guideline 835.3110/OECD Test Guideline 301); a fish
bioconcentration factor (BCF) test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1730/(OECD
Test Guideline 305); and a water solubility test (OECD Test Guideline
111) would help characterize the health and environmental effects of
the PMN substance. Depending on the results of these tests, additional
testing as identified in the PBT category may be recommended.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10824.

PMN Numbers P-14-616 and P-14-617

    Chemical names: Fatty acids reaction products with
polyethylenepolyamine and naphthenic acids (generic).
    CAS numbers: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMNs state that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substances will be in hydrocarbon processing
applications. Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous aliphatic
amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substances in surface
waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is
derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early-
life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration.
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the
PMN substances to surface water, from uses other than as described in
the PMNs, exceed releases from the uses described in the PMN. For the
uses described in the PMN, environmental releases did not exceed 1 ppb
for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that
the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use
of the substances other than as described in the PMNs could result in
exposures which may cause significant adverse environmental effects.
Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria
at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
early life-stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400); a
daphnid chronic

toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guidelines 850.1300); and an algal toxicity
test (OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help to characterize the
environmental effects of the PMN substances. EPA also recommends that
the guidance document on aquatic toxicity testing of difficult
substances and mixtures (OECD Test Guideline 23) be consulted to
facilitate solubility in the test media. The Agency prefers that the
testing be completed on P-14-616.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10825.

PMN Number P-14-625

    Chemical name: Substituted aminoalkyl nitrile (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will
be as a chemical intermediate. Based on SAR analysis of test data on
analogous aliphatic amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms
may occur at concentrations that exceed 18 ppb of the PMN substance in
surface waters. As described in the PMN, releases of the substance are
not expected to result in surface water concentrations exceeding 18
ppb. Therefore, EPA has not determined that the proposed manufacturing,
processing, or use of the substance may present an unreasonable risk.
EPA has determined, however, that any use of the substance that results
in releases to surface waters exceeding 18 ppb may result in
significant adverse environmental effects. Based on this information,
the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.
721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test (OPPTS Test
Guideline 850.1010); an algal toxicity test (OCSPP Test Guideline
850.4500); and a ready biodegradability test (OECD Test Guideline 301B)
would help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10826.

PMN Number P-14-640

    Chemical name: Cyclooctadiene metal derivatives (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the substance will be used as
a synthetic intermediate. Based on test data on the analogous metal
compounds, the EPA identified human health concerns regarding acute
handling hazard from exposure to metal compounds. As described in the
PMN, exposure is expected to be minimal for this use. Therefore, EPA
has not determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use
of the substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined,
however, that any use of the substance other than as a synthetic
intermediate or in any non-enclosed processes may result in significant
adverse human health effects. Based on this information, the PMN
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170(b)(3)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a 90-
day subchronic study (OPPTS Test Guideline 870.3100) in rats, by
inhalation route, would help characterize the human health effects of
the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10827.

PMN Numbers P-14-792, P-14-793, and P-14-794

    Chemical names: (P-14-792, Chemical A; P-14-793; and P-14-794)
1,2,3-Propanetriol, homopolymer, alkanoates (generic) and (P-14-792,
Chemical B) Glycerides, alkanoate, mono-, di- and tri- (generic).
    CAS numbers: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMNs state that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substances will be as agricultural additives.
Based on SAR analysis of test data on analogous non-ionic surfactants,
EPA predicts chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 53 ppb of the PMN substances in surface
waters for greater than 20 days per year. This 20-day criterion is
derived from partial life cycle tests (daphnid chronic and fish early
life stage tests) that typically range from 21 to 28 days in duration.
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur if releases of the
PMN substances to surface water, from uses other than as described in
the PMNs, exceed releases from the use described in the PMNs. For the
use described in the PMNs, environmental releases did not exceed 53 ppb
for more than 20 days per year. Therefore, EPA has not determined that
the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the substances may
present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined, however, that any use
of the substances other than as described in the PMNs could result in
exposures which may cause significant adverse environmental effects.
Based on this information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria
at Sec.  721.170(b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
acute toxicity test, freshwater and marine (OPPTS Test Guideline
850.1075); an aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test, freshwater
daphnids (OPPTS Test Guidelines 850.1010); and an algal toxicity test
(OCSPP Test Guideline 850.4500) would help to characterize the
environmental effects of the PMN substances.
    CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.10828 (P-14-792, Chemical A; P-14-792,
Chemical B; P-14-793; and P-14-794)

PMN Number P-14-800

    Chemical name: Xanthylium, x-[2-(alcoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-
bis(alkylamino)-dimethyl-, x'-[x''-[hydroxy-x'''-[[[[hydroxy-x''''-
(phenyldiazenyl)-sulfo-2-naphthalenyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfo-
naphthalenyl]diazenyl]benzoate, sodium salt (generic).
    CAS number: Claimed confidential.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the substance will be used in
ink for ball point pens. Based on an analog of the PMN substance, EPA
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that
exceed 1 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. As described in
the PMN, releases of the substance are not expected to result in
surface water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. Therefore, EPA has not
determined that the proposed manufacturing, processing, or use of the
substance may present an unreasonable risk. EPA has determined,
however, that any use of the substance resulting in surface water
concentrations exceeding 1 ppb may cause significant adverse
environmental effects. Based on this information, the PMN substance
meets the concern criteria at Sec.  721.170 (b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii).
    Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a fish
early-life stage toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1400) and a
daphnid chronic toxicity test (OPPTS Test Guideline 850.1300) would
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10829.

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are subject to these SNURs, EPA concluded that for 9 of the 25
chemical substances, regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e),
pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned
evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the chemical
substances. The basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based
on these findings, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use
of appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN
submitters. The SNUR

provisions for these chemical substances are consistent with the
provisions of the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. These SNURs are
promulgated pursuant to Sec.  [emsp14]721.160 (see Unit VI.).
    In the other 16 cases, where the uses are not regulated under a
TSCA section 5(e) consent order, EPA determined that one or more of the
criteria of concern established at Sec.  [emsp14]721.170 were met, as
discussed in Unit IV.

B. Objectives

    EPA is issuing these SNURs for specific chemical substances which
have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants to
achieve the following objectives with regard to the significant new
uses designated in this rule:
     EPA will receive notice of any person's intent to
manufacture or process a listed chemical substance for the described
significant new use before that activity begins.
     EPA will 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.
     EPA will be able to regulate prospective manufacturers or
processors of a listed chemical substance before the described
significant new use of that chemical substance occurs, provided that
regulation is warranted pursuant to TSCA sections 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7.
     EPA will ensure that all manufacturers and processors of
the same chemical substance that is subject to a TSCA section 5(e)
consent order are subject to similar requirements.
    Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that
the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical
substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the Internet at
http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/index.html.

VI. Direct Final Procedures

    EPA is issuing these SNURs as a direct final rule, as described in
Sec.  [emsp14]721.160(c)(3) and Sec.  [emsp14]721.170(d)(4). In
accordance with Sec.  [emsp14]721.160(c)(3)(ii) and Sec.
[emsp14]721.170(d)(4)(i)(B), the effective date of this rule is July 7,
2015 without further notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or
critical comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical
comments before June 8, 2015.
    If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these
SNURs before June 8, 2015, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of
this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a
proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
    This rule establishes SNURs for a number of chemical substances.
Any person who submits adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, must identify the
chemical substance and the new use to which it applies. EPA will not
withdraw a SNUR for a chemical substance not identified in the comment.

VII. Applicability of the Significant New Use Designation

    To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have
undergone premanufacture review. 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 chemical substances for
which an NOC has not been submitted EPA concludes that the designated
significant new uses are not ongoing.
    When chemical substances identified in this rule are added to the
TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective,
other persons might engage in a use that has been identified as a
significant new use. However, TSCA section 5(e) consent orders have
been issued for 9 of the 25 chemical substances, and the PMN submitters
are prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders from undertaking
activities which would be designated as significant new uses. The
identities of 21 of the 25 chemical substances subject to this rule
have been claimed as confidential and EPA has received no post-PMN bona
fide submissions (per Sec. Sec.  720.25 and 721.11). Based on this, the
Agency believes that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant
new uses described in the regulatory text of this rule are ongoing.
    Therefore, EPA designates May 8, 2015 as the cutoff date for
determining whether the new use is ongoing. Persons who begin
commercial manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a
significant new use identified as of 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 wait until the notice
review period, including any extensions, expires. If such a person met
the conditions of advance compliance under Sec.  721.45(h), the person
would be considered exempt from the requirements of the SNUR. Consult
the Federal Register document of April 24, 1990 for a more detailed
discussion of the cutoff date for ongoing uses.

VIII. Test Data and Other Information

    EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require developing any
particular test data before submission of a SNUN. The two exceptions
are:
    1. Development of test data is required where the chemical
substance subject to the SNUR is also subject to a test rule under TSCA
section 4 (see TSCA section 5(b)(1)).
    2. Development of test data may be necessary where the chemical
substance has been listed under TSCA section 5(b)(4) (see TSCA section
5(b)(2)).
    In the absence of a TSCA section 4 test rule or a TSCA section
5(b)(4) listing covering the chemical substance, persons are required
only to submit test data in their possession or control and to describe
any other data 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. In cases where EPA issued a
TSCA section 5(e) consent order that requires or recommends certain
testing, Unit IV. lists those tests. Unit IV. also lists recommended
testing for TSCA non-section 5(e) SNURs. Descriptions of tests are
provided for informational purposes. EPA strongly encourages persons,
before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to
protocol selection. To access the OCSPP test guidelines referenced in
this document electronically, please go to http://www.epa.gov/ocspp and
select ``Test Methods and Guidelines.'' The Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guidelines are available from
the OECD Bookshop at http://www.oecdbookshop.org or SourceOECD at
http://www.sourceoecd.org.
    In the TSCA section 5(e) consent orders for several of the chemical
substances regulated under this rule, EPA has established production
volume limits in view of the lack of data on the potential health and
environmental risks that may be posed by the significant new uses or
increased exposure to the chemical substances. These limits cannot be
exceeded unless the PMN submitter first submits the results of toxicity
tests that would

permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these
chemical substances. Under recent TSCA section 5(e) consent orders,
each PMN submitter is required to submit each study before reaching the
specified production limit. Listings of the tests specified in the TSCA
section 5(e) consent orders are included in Unit IV. The SNURs contain
the same production volume limits as the TSCA section 5(e) consent
orders. Exceeding these production limits is defined as a significant
new use. Persons who intend to exceed the production limit must notify
the Agency by submitting a SNUN at least 90 days in advance of
commencement of non-exempt commercial manufacture or processing.
    The recommended tests specified in Unit IV. may not be the only
means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical substance.
However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the
likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA section 5(e),
particularly if satisfactory test results have not been obtained from a
prior PMN or SNUN submitter. 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.
     Potential benefits of the chemical substances.
     Information on risks posed by the chemical substances
compared to risks posed by potential substitutes.

IX. Procedural Determinations

    By this rule, EPA is establishing certain significant new uses
which have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality
regulations at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. Absent a
final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim
under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is required to keep this
information confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the
situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, at 40 CFR
721.1725(b)(1).
    Under these procedures a manufacturer or processor may request EPA
to determine whether a proposed use would be a significant new use
under the rule. The manufacturer or processor must show that it has a
bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance and
must identify the specific use for which it intends to manufacture or
process the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that the person has
shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical
substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the
bona fide submission would be a significant new use under the rule.
Since most of the chemical identities of the chemical substances
subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can
combine the bona fide submission under the procedure in Sec.
[emsp14]721.1725(b)(1) with that under Sec.  [emsp14]721.11 into a
single step.
    If EPA determines that the use identified in the bona fide
submission would not be a significant new use, i.e., the use does not
meet the criteria specified in the rule for a significant new use, that
person can manufacture or process the chemical substance so long as the
significant new use trigger is not met. In the case of a production
volume trigger, this means that the aggregate annual production volume
does not exceed that identified in the bona fide submission to EPA.
Because of confidentiality concerns, EPA does not typically disclose
the actual production volume that constitutes the use trigger. Thus, if
the person later intends to exceed that volume, a new bona fide
submission would be necessary to determine whether that higher volume
would be a significant new use.

X. SNUN Submissions

    According to Sec.  [emsp14]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 Sec.  721.25. E-PMN software is
available electronically at http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems.

XI. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical
substances subject to this rule. EPA's complete economic analysis is
available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2014-0908.

XII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866

    This action establishes SNURs for several new chemical substances
that were the subject of PMNs, or TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of
actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to 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. EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB
approval number for the information collection requirements contained
in this action. This listing of the OMB control numbers and their
subsequent codification in the CFR satisfies the display requirements
of PRA and OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. This
Information Collection Request (ICR) was previously subject to public
notice and comment prior to OMB approval, and given the technical
nature of the table, EPA finds that further notice and comment to amend
it is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that there is ``good cause''
under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table without further notice and
comment.
    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, Collection Strategies Division, Office of
Environmental Information (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)

    On February 18, 2012, EPA certified pursuant to RFA section 605(b)
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), that promulgation of a SNUR does not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
where the following are true:
    1. A significant number of SNUNs would not be submitted by small
entities in response to the SNUR.
    2. The SNUR submitted by any small entity would not cost
significantly more than $8,300.
    A copy of that certification is available in the docket for this
action.
    This action is within the scope of the February 18, 2012
certification. Based on the Economic Analysis discussed in Unit XI. and
EPA's experience promulgating SNURs (discussed in the certification),
EPA believes that the following are true:
     A significant number of SNUNs would not be submitted by
small entities in response to the SNUR.
     Submission of the SNUN would not cost any small entity
significantly more than $8,300.
    Therefore, the promulgation of the SNUR would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

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 action. As
such, EPA has determined that this action 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. 1501 et seq.).

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (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.

    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled
``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).

XIII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
