Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19-3.B)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances which are
the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires
persons to notify EPA least 90 days before commencing manufacture
(defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these
chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant
new use by this rule. The required notification initiates EPA's
evaluation of the chemical under the conditions of use within the
applicable review period. Persons may not commence manufacture or
processing for the significant new use until EPA has conducted a review
of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice, and has
taken such actions as are required as a result of that determination.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 2020. For purposes of judicial
review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on May 19,
2020.

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 this rule on or after June 4, 2020 are
subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15
U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply with the export
notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is finalizing a SNUR under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for chemical
substances which were the subject of PMNs P-16-417, P-18-239, and P-18-
240. These SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture or process
any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as
a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing
that activity.
    Previously, in the Federal Register of July 8, 2019 (84 FR 32366)
(FRL-9996-13), EPA proposed a SNUR for these chemical substances in 40
CFR part 721, subpart E. More information on the specific chemical
substances subject to this final rule can be found in the Federal
Register documents proposing the SNUR. The record for the SNUR was
established in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0226.
That docket includes information considered by the Agency in developing
the proposed and final rules.
    EPA received a number of public comments on this rule. Those
comments and EPA's responses are found in Unit IV.

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

    TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all
relevant factors, including the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2)
factors listed in Unit III. As described in Unit V., the general SNUR
provisions are found at 40 CFR part 721, subpart A.

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 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the

same significant new use notice (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 must
either determine that the significant new use is not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury or take such regulatory action as is
associated with an alternative determination before the manufacture or
processing for the significant new use can commence. If EPA determines
that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable
risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and
submit for publication in the Federal Register, a statement of EPA's
findings.

III. Significant New Use Determination

    TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA's determination that a use of
a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after
consideration of all relevant factors, including:
     The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a
chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use changes the type or form of
exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and
duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical
substance.
     The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a
chemical substance.
    In addition to these factors enumerated in TSCA section 5(a)(2),
the statute authorizes EPA to consider any other relevant factors.
    To determine what would constitute significant new uses for the
chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered
relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, and
potential human exposures and environmental releases that may be
associated with the conditions of use of the substances, in the context
of the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit.
During its review of these chemicals, EPA identified certain conditions
of use that are not intended by the submitters, but reasonably foreseen
to occur. EPA proposed to designate those reasonably foreseen
conditions of use as significant new uses.

IV. Public Comments on Proposed Rule and EPA Responses

    EPA received public comments from two identifying entities on the
proposed rule. The Agency's responses are described in a separate
Response to Public Comments document contained in the public docket for
this rule, EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0226.

V. Substances Subject to This Rule

    EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping
requirements for three chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart
E. In Unit IV of the proposed SNUR (84 FR 32366; July 8, 2019), EPA
provided the following information for each chemical substance:
     PMN number.
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as confidential business information (CBI)).
     Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the SNUR.
     Potentially Useful Information. This is information
identified by EPA that would help characterize the potential health
and/or environmental effects of the chemical substances if a
manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a
significant new use designated by the SNUR.
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
these rules. The regulatory text section of these rules specifies the
activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses,
including production volume limits and other uses designated in the
rules, may be claimed as CBI.
    The chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs
completed premanufacture review. In addition to those conditions of use
intended by the submitter, EPA has identified certain other reasonably
foreseen conditions of use and/or other circumstances of use. EPA has
preliminarily determined that the chemicals under their intended
conditions of use are not likely to present an unreasonable risk.
However, EPA has not assessed risks associated with the reasonably
foreseen conditions of use for these chemicals. As such, EPA is
designating these reasonably foreseen conditions of use and/or other
potential circumstances of use as significant new uses. As a result,
before any of those uses may occur, they must first go through a
separate, subsequent EPA review and determination process associated
with a SNUN.

VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA identified certain reasonably
foreseen conditions of use and/or other circumstances different from
the intended conditions of use identified in the PMNs and determined
that those changes could result in changes in the type or form of
exposure to the chemical substances and/or increased exposures to the
chemical substances and/or changes in the reasonably anticipated manner
and methods of manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and
disposal of the chemical substances.

B. Objectives

    EPA is issuing these SNURs because the Agency wants to:
     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.
     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.
     Make a determination under TSCA section 5(a)(3) regarding
the use described in the SNUN, under the conditions of use, before the
significant new use may commence. The Agency will either determine
under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk, including an unreasonable risk
to a potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as
relevant by the Administrator under the conditions of use, or make a
determination under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(A) or (B) and take the
required regulatory action associated with the determination, before
manufacture or processing for the significant new use of the chemical
substance can occur.
    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.

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.
    EPA designated July 2, 2019 (the date of web posting of the
proposed rule) as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use
is ongoing. The objective of EPA's approach has been to ensure that a
person could not defeat a SNUR by initiating a significant new use
before the effective date of the final rule.
    In the unlikely event that a person began commercial manufacture or
processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use
identified as of July 2, 2019, that person will have to cease any such
activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their
activities, that person would have to first comply with all applicable
SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has conducted a
review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on the notice,
and has taken such actions as are required with that determination.

VIII. Development and Submission of Information

    EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require development of
any particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before
submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to
submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, Order
or consent agreement under TSCA section 4 (15 U.S.C. 2603), then TSCA
section 5(b)(1)(A) (15 U.S.C. 2604(b)(1)(A)) requires such information
to be submitted to EPA at the time of submission of the SNUN.
    In the absence of a rule, Order, or consent agreement under TSCA
section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required only to
submit information in their possession or control and to describe any
other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40
CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the
authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV of the proposed rule
lists potentially useful information for all SNURs listed here.
Descriptions are provided for informational purposes. The potentially
useful information identified in Unit IV of the proposed rule will be
useful to EPA's evaluation in the event that someone submits a SNUN for
the significant new use. Companies who are considering submitting a
SNUN are encouraged, but not required, to develop the information on
the substance.
    EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h),
which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA
encourages consultation with the Agency on the use of alternative test
methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or
NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA
encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how
best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of
TSCA section 4(h).
    The potentially useful information described in Unit IV of the
proposed rule may not be the only means of providing information to
evaluate the chemical substance associated with the significant new
uses. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the
likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f).
EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA early enough
so that they will be able to conduct the appropriate tests.
    SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following:
     Human exposure and environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
     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 40 CFR
721.1725(b)(1) with that under 40 CFR 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 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply
with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures
as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on
health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. SNUNs
must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, generated using e-PMN
software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the procedures
set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 and 721.25. E-PMN software is available
electronically at 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-2019-0226.

XII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review

    This action establishes SNURs for several new chemical substances
that were the subject of PMNs and TSCA section 5(e) Orders. The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information that requires OMB approval under the 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 activities in this action have already
been approved by OMB pursuant to the 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 using
automated collection techniques, to the Director, Regulatory Support
Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. Please
remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but
do not submit any completed forms to this address.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    Pursuant to RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency
hereby certifies that promulgation of this SNUR will not have a
significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any person
(including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any
activity described in the final rule as a ``significant new use.''
Because these uses are ``new,'' based on all information currently
available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities presently
engage in such activities. A SNUR requires that any person who intends
to engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by
submitting a SNUN. EPA's experience to date is that, in response to the
promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency
receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the
number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13
in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 18 in FY2018
and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition,
the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the
potential economic impacts of complying with this SNUR are not expected
to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of small
entities. In a SNUR that published in the Federal Register of June 2,
1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency presented its general
determination that final SNURs are not expected to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, which was
provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs,
State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these
rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any
State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this 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.).

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action will not have a substantial direct effect on States, on
the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels
of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This
action does not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of
Indian Tribal governments, nor does it involve or impose any
requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements
of Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply
to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically significant
regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, and this action
does not address environmental health or safety risks
disproportionately affecting children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect energy
supply, distribution, or use and because this action is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    In addition, since this action does not involve any technical
standards, NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) does not apply to
this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994).

XII. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Pursuant to the CRA (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'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0675]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; 28th Annual Lake Erie Open Water Swim; Lake Erie,
Cleveland, OH

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain waters of Lake Erie. This safety zone is intended to restrict
vessels from a portion of Lake Erie during the 28th Annual Lake Erie
Open Water Swim. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect
swimmers from vessels operating in the area. Entry of vessels or
persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by
the Captain of the Port Buffalo.

DATES: This rule is effective from 6:45 a.m. through 10:15 a.m. on July
15, 2017.

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the event sponsor did not submit
notice to the Coast Guard with sufficient time remaining before the
event to publish an NPRM. Delaying the effective date of this rule to
wait for a comment period to run would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest by inhibiting the Coast Guard's ability to protect
event participants from the hazards associated with an open water swim.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register because doing so would be
impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Delaying the
effective date would be contrary to the rule's objectives of ensuring
safety of life on the navigable waters and protection of persons and
vessels near the event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has determined that a
large scale swimming event on a navigable waterway will pose a
significant risk to participants and the boating public. This rule is
needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone while the Lake Erie Open Water
Swim is happening.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 6:45 a.m. through 10:15
a.m. on July 15, 2017. The safety zone will encompass all waters of
Lake Erie, Cleveland, OH south of a line drawn between positions
41[deg]29'30'' N., 081[deg]44'21'' W. and 41[deg]29'21'' N.,
081[deg]45'04'' W. (NAD 83) to the shore. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative. The Captain of the Port or his
designated representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced for a relatively short time. Also, the
safety zone is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters.
Furthermore, the safety zone has been designed to allow vessels to
transit around it. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that
particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions,
moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when
permitted by the Captain of the Port.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule involves a safety zone lasting 3 and a half hours that will
prohibit vessels from entering the area designated for this event. It
is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental
Consideration (REC) supporting this determination is available in the
docket where indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

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

    (2) An affected source is new if you commenced construction or
reconstruction of the affected source after April 4, 2007.
    (c) You are exempt from the obligation to obtain a permit under 40
CFR part 70 or 40 CFR part 71, provided you are not otherwise required
by law to obtain a permit under 40 CFR 70.3(a) or 40 CFR 71.3(a).
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, you must continue to comply with
the provisions of this subpart.

Sec.  63.11429  What are my compliance dates?

    (a) If you have an existing affected source, you must achieve
compliance with applicable provisions in this subpart by July 16, 2007.
    (b) If you startup a new affected source on or before July 16,
2007, you must achieve compliance with applicable provisions in this
subpart not later than July 16, 2007.
    (c) If you startup a new affected source after July 16, 2007, you
must achieve compliance with applicable provisions in this subpart upon
initial startup.

Standards

Sec.  63.11430  What are the standards?

    (a) If you use a pressure treatment process with any wood
preservative containing chromium, arsenic, dioxins, or methylene
chloride at a new or existing area source, the preservative must be
applied to the wood product inside a retort or similarly enclosed
vessel.
    (b) If you use a thermal treatment process with any wood
preservative containing chromium, arsenic, dioxins, or methylene
chloride at a new or existing area source, the preservative must be
applied using process treatment tanks equipped with an air scavenging
system to control emissions.
    (c) If you use any wood preservative containing chromium, arsenic,
dioxins, or methylene chloride at a new or existing area source, you
must prepare and operate according to a management practice plan to
minimize air emissions from the preservative treatment of wood at a new
or existing area source. You may use your standard operating procedures
to meet the requirements for a management practice plan if it includes
the minimum activities required for a management practice plan. The
management practice plan must include, but is not limited to, the
following activities:
    (1) Minimize preservative usage;
    (2) Maintain records on the type of treatment process and types and
amounts of wood preservatives used at the facility;
    (3) For the pressure treatment process, maintain charge records
identifying pressure reading(s) inside the retorts (or similarly
enclosed vessel);
    (4) For the thermal treatment process, maintain records that the
air scavenging system is in place and operated properly during the
treatment process;
    (5) Store treated wood product on drip pads or in a primary
containment area to convey preservative drippage to a collection system
until drippage has ceased;
    (6) For the pressure treatment process, fully drain the retort to
the extent practicable, prior to opening the retort door;
    (7) Promptly collect any spills; and
    (8) Perform relevant corrective actions or preventative measures in
the event of a malfunction before resuming operations.

Sec.  63.11431  [Reserved]

Other Requirements and Information

Sec.  63.11432  What General Provisions apply to this subpart?

    (a) If you own or operate a new or existing affected source that
uses any wood preservative containing chromium, arsenic, dioxins, or
methylene chloride, you must comply with the requirements of the
General Provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, according to Table 1
to this subpart.
    (b) If you own or operate a new or existing affected source that
uses any wood preservative containing chromium, arsenic, dioxins, or
methylene chloride, you must submit an initial notification of
applicability required by Sec.  63.9(a)(2) no later than 90 days after
the applicable compliance date specified in Sec.  63.11429. The initial
notification may be combined with the notification of compliance status
required in paragraph (c) of this section. The notification of
applicability must include the following information:
    (1) The name and address of the owner or operator;
    (2) The address (i.e., physical location) of the affected source;
and
    (3) An identification of the relevant standard, or other
requirement, that is the basis of the notification and the source's
compliance date.
    (c) If you own or operate a new or existing affected source that
uses any wood preservative containing chromium, arsenic, dioxins, or
methylene chloride, you must submit a notification of compliance status
required by Sec.  63.9(h) no later than 90 days after the applicable
compliance date specified in Sec.  63.11429. Your notification of
compliance status must include this certification of compliance, signed
by a responsible official, for the standards in Sec.  63.11430: ``This
facility complies with the management practices to minimize air
emissions from the preservative treatment of wood in accordance with
Sec.  63.11430.''
    (d) You must report any deviation from the requirements of this
subpart within 30 days of the deviation.

Sec.  63.11433  What definitions apply to this subpart?

    Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act, Sec.
63.2, and in this section as follows:
    Air scavenging system means an air collection and control system
that collects and removes vapors from a thermal treatment process
vessel and vents the emissions to a vapor recovery tank that collects
condensate from the vapors.
    Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) means a chemical wood preservative
consisting of mixtures of water-soluble chemicals containing metal
oxides of chromium, copper, and arsenic. CCA is used in pressure
treated wood to protect wood from rotting due to insects and microbial
agents.
    Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:
    (1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart, including but not limited to any emissions limitation or
management practice;
    (2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to
implement an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-427, OMB Control No. 3235-0476]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 10b-17

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 10b-17 (17 CFR 240.10b-
17), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information
to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 10b-17 requires any issuer of a class of securities publicly
traded by the use of any means or instrumentality of interstate
commerce or of the mails or of any facility of any national securities
exchange to give notice of the following specific distributions
relating to such class of securities: (1) a dividend or other
distribution in cash or in kind other than interest payments on debt
securities; (2) a stock split or reverse stock split; or (3) a rights
or other subscription offering.
    There are approximately 7,588 respondents per year. These
respondents make approximately 29,952 responses per year. Each response
takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thus, the total hour burden
per year is approximately 4,992 hours. The total internal labor cost of
compliance for respondents associated with providing notice under Rule
10b-17 is approximately $431,258.88.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by
October 10, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
[email protected].
