ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0313; FRL-8869-4]

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e. a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register a notice of
receipt of a premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test
marketing exemption (TME), and to publish in the Federal Register
periodic status reports on the new chemicals under review and the
receipt of notices of commencement (NOC) to begin the manufacture of
those chemicals. This document covers the period from October 11, 2010
to December 3, 2010, and provides the required notice and status report
for the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the NOCs to
manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA
section 5 during this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN or TME number, must be
received on or before May 16, 2011.

address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in
hard copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of
operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room
is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is
(202) 566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic
identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor
log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and
subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must
be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

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

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

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through regulations.gov
or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you
claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail
to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information

claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information marked as CBI will not be disclosed except in accordance
with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Why is EPA taking this Action?

    EPA classifies chemical substances as either ``existing'' chemicals
or ``new'' chemicals. Any substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Chemical
Substances Inventory, commonly referred to as the TSCA Inventory, is
classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those that are on the TSCA
Inventory are classified as an ``existing chemical.'' For more
information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to manufacture
or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose
is required by section 5 of TSCA to provide EPA with a premanufacture
notice, or PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1)
authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture
(includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical
substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under
TSCA section 5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred
to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about
the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an
application for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic
status reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of the
NOCs to begin the manufacture of those chemicals. This document, covers
the period from to October 11, 2010 to December 3, 2010, and provides
the required notice and status report for the PMNs and TMEs, both
pending or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new chemical that the
Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.

III. Receipt and Status Reports

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54199; File No. SR-Phlx-2006-45]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to
Reduce the Equity Transaction Charge

July 24, 2006
    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 July 18, 2006, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Phlx'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by Phlx. Phlx filed the
proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule
19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Phlx proposes to reduce the current Equity Transaction Charge of
$0.0035 per share to $0.0023 per share. The

maximum charge will remain at $50.00 per trade side. The proposed rule
change is scheduled to become effective for transactions settling on or
after August 1, 2006. The text of the proposed rule change is available
on Phlx's Internet Web site (http://www.phlx.com), at Phlx's principal

office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, Phlx included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. Phlx 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
    Currently, the Exchange charges an Equity Transaction Charge of
$0.0035 per share, based on total shares per transaction, with the
exception of specialist trades and PACE trades.\5\ The Exchange
proposes to reduce the current Equity Transaction Charge to $0.0023 per
share.\6\ The purpose of the proposal is to attract additional equity
floor broker order flow to the Exchange. This proposal is scheduled to
become effective for transactions settling on or after August 1, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ However, the Equity Transaction Charge applies where an
order, after being delivered to the Exchange by the PACE system, is
executed by the specialist by way of an outbound ITS commitment,
when such outbound ITS commitment reflects the PACE order's clearing
information, but does not apply where a PACE trade is executed
against an inbound ITS commitment. See, e.g., Securities Exchange
Act Release Nos. 50106 (July 28, 2004), 69 FR 47197 (August 4, 2004)
(SR-Phlx-2004-40) and 47245 (January 24, 2003), 68 FR 5069 (January
31, 2003) (SR-Phlx-2002-88).
    \6\ The maximum amount for the Equity Transaction Charge will
remain at $50.00 per trade side.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\8\ in
particular, because it is an equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges among members of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange 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

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule change has been designated as a fee
change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(2) \10\ thereunder. Accordingly, the proposed rule change is
effective upon filing with the Commission. At any time within 60 days
of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

    III. Noncompliance: AML explains that during testing of the TPMS it
was noted that the fitment of an incompatible wheel and tire unit was
correctly detected and the malfunction indicator illuminated as
required by FMVSS No. 138. However, when the vehicle ignition was
deactivated and then reactivated after a five minute period, there was
no immediate re-illumination of the malfunction indicator as required
when the malfunction still exists. Although the malfunction indicator
does not re-illuminate immediately after the vehicle ignition is
reactivated, it does illuminate within 40 seconds after the vehicle
accelerates above 23 mph.
    Rule Text: Paragraph S4.4(c)(2) of FMVSS No. 138 requires in
pertinent part:

    S4.4 TPMS Malfunction.
    (c) Combination low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale. The
vehicle meets the requirements of S4.4(a) when equipped with a
combined Low Tire Pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale that:

    (2) Flashes for a period of at least 60 seconds but no longer
than 90 seconds upon detection of any condition specified in S4.4(a)
after the ignition locking system is activated to the ``On''
(``Run'') position. After each period of prescribed flashing, the
telltale must remain continuously illuminated as long as a
malfunction exists and the ignition locking system is in the ``On''
(``Run'') position. This flashing and illumination sequence must be
repeated each time the ignition locking system is placed in the
``On'' (``Run'') position until the situation causing the
malfunction has been corrected. . . .
    V. Summary of AML's Analyses: AML stated its belief that the
subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for
the following reasons:
    (A) AML stated that although the malfunction indicator does not re-
illuminate immediately after the vehicle is restarted, it generally
will illuminate shortly thereafter, and in any event it will illuminate
in no more than about 40 seconds, even in vehicles containing the
noncompliance. Once a vehicle has started and is accelerating above 23
mph for a period of 15 seconds, the TPMS will seek to confirm the
sensors fitted to the vehicle. If a sensor is not fitted, the TPMS will
detect this within a further period of 15-20 seconds (up to a maximum
of 25 seconds) and the TPMS malfunction indicator will illuminate
correctly. Once the malfunction indicator is illuminated, it will
remain illuminated throughout that ignition cycle, regardless of the
vehicle's speed.
    (B) AML also stated that if the TPMS fails to detect the wheel
sensors, the TPMS monitor will display on the TPMS pressures screen
``--'' warning the driver that the status of the wheel sensor is
unconfirmed. Once the vehicle starts moving, the system will then
accurately determine if a sensor is present or not.
    (C) AML says that the noncompliance is confined to one particular
aspect of the functionality of the otherwise compliant TPMS malfunction
indicator. All other aspects of the low-pressure monitoring system
functionality are fully compliant with the requirements of FMVSS No.
138.
    (D) AML is not aware of any customer complaints, field
communications, incidents or injuries related to this condition.
    AML has additionally informed NHTSA that all unsold vehicles in
AML's custody and control will have the TPMS Electronic Control Unit
reprogrammed prior to being sold.
    In summation, AML believes that the described noncompliance of the
subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition, to exempt AML from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject vehicles that AML no longer
controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed.
However, any decision on this petition does not relieve vehicle
distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant vehicles under their control after AML
notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.
