Committee (ITC) transmitted its FiftyEighth Report to the Administrator of
EPA on May 31, 2006. In the 58th ITC
Report, which is included with this
notice, the ITC is revising the TSCA
section 4(e) Priority Testing List by
removing 8 High Production Volume
(HPV) orphan chemicals, 3 indium
compounds, 12 tungsten compounds,
and 12 vanadium compounds. Pursuant
to the statements made in the 56th and
57th ITC Reports, the ITC is listing 286
new HPV chemicals in the appendix of
this 58th ITC Report to provide
interested Federal and State agencies,
stakeholders, and the public with the
Chemical Abstract Registry Numbers
(CAS No.) and names of chemicals with
production or importation volumes
exceeding 1 million pounds on only the
2002 Inventory Update Rule (IUR). In
addition, the ITC is providing sources of
publicly available data on its website,
https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc, for 120
of the 286 new HPV chemicals and 120
of the 235 new HPV chemicals listed in

II. Background
The Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 260l et seq.)
authorizes the Administrator of EPA to
promulgate regulations under TSCA
section 4(a) which requires the testing of
chemicals and chemical groups in order
to develop data relevant to determining
the risks that such chemicals and
chemical groups may present to health
or the environment. Section 4(e) of
TSCA established the ITC to
recommend chemicals and chemical
groups to the Administrator of EPA for
priority testing consideration. Section
4(e) of TSCA directs the ITC to revise
the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List at least every 6 months.

I. Background
The ITC was established by section
4(e) of TSCA ‘‘to make
recommendations to the Administrator
respecting the chemical substances and
mixtures to which the Administrator
should give priority consideration for
the promulgation of rules for testing
under section 4(a).... At least every six
months ..., the Committee shall make
such revisions to the Priority Testing
List as it determines to be necessary and
transmit them to the Administrator
together with the Committee’s reasons
for the revisions ’’ (Public Law 94–469,
90 Stat. 2003 et seq., 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq.). ITC Reports are available from the
ITC’s website within a few days of
submission to the Administrator and
from EPA’s website (https://
www.epa.gov/fedrgstr) after publication
in the Federal Register. The ITC
produces its revisions to the Priority
Testing List with administrative and
technical support from the ITC Staff,
ITC Members, and their U.S.
Government organizations, and contract
support provided by EPA. ITC Members
and Staff are listed at the end of this
report.

II. TSCA Section 8 Reporting
A. TSCA Section 8 Reporting Rules
Following receipt of the ITC’s report
(and the revised Priority Testing List) by
the EPA Administrator, the EPA’s Office
of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
(OPPT) may add the chemicals from the
revised Priority Testing List to the TSCA
section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment
Information Reporting (PAIR) or TSCA
section 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting (HaSDR) rules. The PAIR rule
requires manufacturers (including
importers) of chemicals added to the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:42 Jul 10, 2006
Jkt 208001
Priority Testing List to submit
production and exposure reports (https://
www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemtest/
pairform.pdf). The HaSDR rule requires
manufacturers (including importers) of
chemicals added to the Priority Testing
List to submit unpublished health and
safety studies under TSCA section 8(d)
that must be in compliance with the
revised HaSDR rule (Ref. 1).
B. ITC’s Use of TSCA Section 8 and
Other Information
The ITC’s use of TSCA section 8 and
other information is described in the
52nd ITC Report (Ref. 2).
C. Previous Requests to Add Chemicals
to the TSCA Section 8(a) PAIR Rule and
Section 8(d) HaSDR Rule
In the 56th ITC Report, the ITC
requested that EPA add 243 of the 251
HPV Challenge Program orphan
chemicals on the Priority Testing List to
TSCA section 8(a) PAIR and 8(d) HaSDR
rules (Ref 3). HPV Challenge Program
chemicals are those with U.S. annual
production or importation volumes of 1
million pounds or more reported to EPA
in response to the 1990 IUR (https://
www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemrtk/
hpv_1990.htm) supplemented with
some HPV chemicals from the 1994 IUR
(https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemrtk/
hpv_1994.htm). HPV Challenge Program
orphan chemicals are those for which
companies have not made commitments
in accordance with EPA’s Policy
Regarding Acceptance of New
Commitments to Sponsor Chemicals
under the HPV Challenge Program. The
June 27, 2005 policy is described in
https://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/
hpvpolcy.htm and outlines a process by
which EPA continues to encourage
commitments from U.S. manufacturers
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
and importers of HPV Challenge
Program chemicals and defines specific
timelines for submitting test plans and
robust summaries. At this time, the ITC
is requesting that EPA not add the 8
HPV Challenge Program orphan
chemicals listed in Tables 2 and 3 of the
56th ITC Report (Ref. 3) to the TSCA
section 8(a) PAIR and 8(d) HaSDR rules
for the reasons stated in section IV.A.1.
of this report.
In the 56th ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC
also requested that EPA add tungsten
oxide (W10O29) (CAS No. 12037–58–0)
and tungsten oxide (W18O49) (CAS No.
12037–57–9) to the TSCA section 8(a)
PAIR rule. At this time, the ITC is
requesting that EPA not add tungsten
oxides, W10O29 (CAS No. 12037–58–0)
and W18O49 (CAS No. 12037–57–9) to
the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule for the
reasons stated in section IV.A.2. of this
report.
III. ITC’s Activities During this
Reporting Period (December 2005 to
May 2006)
In the 56th ITC Report, the ITC
discussed the Extended HPV (EHPV)
Program of the American Chemistry
Council (ACC), Soap and Detergent
Association (SDA), and Synthetic
Organic Chemical Manufacturers
Association (SOCMA) and its dataavailability study of 235 new HPV
chemicals with 1998 and 2002 IUR
production or importation volume data
greater than 1 million pounds (Ref. 3).
In the 57th ITC Report, the ITC stated
that a data-availability study of 286 new
HPV chemicals with only 2002 IUR
production or importation volume data
greater than 1 million pounds may be
made available after reviewing
comments on the study of the 235 new
HPV chemicals (Ref. 4).
E:\FR\FM\11JYN2.SGM
11JYN2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 11, 2006 / Notices
In response to comments, the ITC is
making publicly available on its website
the data sources for 120 of the 235 new
HPV chemicals and 120 of the 286 new
HPV chemicals for which data were
available. These sources are based on
December 2004 and August 2005 dataavailability studies, respectively.
Neither the 235 new HPV chemicals
discussed in the 56th ITC Report, nor the
286 new HPV chemicals listed in the
appendix of this 58th ITC Report,
include chemicals that were in the
EPA’s HPV Challenge Program.
The methods that ITC used to conduct
the data-availability study of the 286
new HPV chemicals (and the 235 new
HPV chemicals discussed in the 56th
ITC Report) were identical to the
methods that EPA used for assessing the
availability of data for the 1990 HPV
Challenge Program List of Chemicals
(https://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/
hazchem.pdf), but was expanded to
include studies sponsored by the NTP
(https://ntp-server.niehs.nih.gov). The
methods that EPA used for the 1990
HPV chemicals were designed to
determine if there were available studies
for 6 endpoints (listed in this unit) that
were required for the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) Screening
Information Data Set (SIDS) dossiers.
The methods were designed to
determine if there were available studies
for four health-effects endpoints (acute
toxicity, chronic toxicity, mutagenicity,
reproductive effects/developmental
toxicity), ecological effects endpoints,
environmental fate endpoints, and other
health-effects endpoints (e.g.,
neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity) for
which data might be available from the
National Toxicology Program.
Also during this reporting period, the
ITC discussed:
1. New commitments for the 251 HPV
Challenge Program orphan chemicals on
the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List from the 56th ITC Report (Ref. 3).
2. Information from the Indium
Corporation of America and Umicore
(formerly Arconium Specialty Alloys)
related to the data needs for indium tin
oxide (CAS No. 50926–11–9).
3. Reports submitted in response to
the December 7, 2004 PAIR rule (Ref. 5)
and information from the International
Tungsten Industry Association related
to the data needs for tungsten oxide
(W18O49) (CAS No. 12037–57–9) and
tungsten oxide (W10O29) (CAS No.
12037–58–0).
4. Data from the June 11, 2003 PAIR
rule (Ref. 6) and a recent study that
described the toxicity of vanadium
compounds to mallard ducks and
Canada geese (Ref. 7).
IV. Revisions to the TSCA Section 4(e)
Priority Testing List: Chemicals
Removed from the Priority Testing List
A. HPV Orphan Chemicals
The ITC is removing 8 HPV orphan
chemicals from the Priority Testing List
(Table 2 of this unit).

The ITC is removing these 8 HPV
orphan chemicals because test plans
and robust summaries were submitted
to the EPA in compliance with the
Policy Regarding Acceptance of New
Commitments to Sponsor Chemicals
under the HPV Challenge Program. At
this time, 243 HPV orphan chemicals
remain on the Priority Testing List.
B. Indium Compounds
In the 47th ITC Report, the ITC added
37 indium compounds to the Priority
Testing List to obtain importation,
production, use, exposure, and health
effects information to meet U.S.
Government data needs (Ref. 8).
Twenty-eight indium compounds were
removed from the Priority Testing List
because no production or importation
data were submitted to EPA in response
to the July 26, 2001 PAIR rule (Ref. 9).
These 28 indium compounds are listed
in the 51st ITC Report (Ref. 10). The
remaining 9 indium compounds were
added to the May 4, 2004 TSCA section
8(d) HaSDR rule (Ref. 11). In the 56th
ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC removed 6
of the 9 indium compounds remaining
on the Priority Testing List because
information submitted in response to
the PAIR rule suggested low potential
for occupational exposure and because
only one study (acute toxicity of indium
chloride) was submitted in response to
the HaSDR rule.
In this 58th ITC Report, the ITC is
removing indium (CAS No. 7440–74–6),
indium tin oxide (CAS No. 50926–11–
9), and indium phosphide (CAS No.
22398–80–7) from the Priority Testing
List because information submitted in
response to the July 26, 2001 PAIR rule
(Ref. 9) and information submitted by
the Indium Corporation of America and
Umicore suggested low potential for
occupational exposure and because no
studies for these indium compounds
were submitted in response to the May
4, 2004 HaSDR rule (Ref. 11).
C. Tungsten Compounds
In the 53rd ITC Report, the ITC added
20 tungsten compounds to the Priority
Testing List to obtain importation,
production, use, exposure, and health
effects information to meet U.S.
Government data needs (Ref. 12). The
ITC is removing 10 tungsten compounds
from the Priority Testing List because
information submitted in response to
the December 7, 2004 PAIR rule (Ref. 5)
suggested low potential for occupational
exposure (Table 3 of this unit).

In the
ITC Report, the ITC added
43 vanadium compounds to the Priority
Testing List to obtain importation,
production, use, exposure, and health
effects information to meet U.S.
Government data needs (Ref. 10). At the
ITC’s request, the EPA added the 43
vanadium compounds to the June 11,
2003 PAIR rule (Ref. 6). In the 54th ITC
Report, the ITC removed 25 vanadium
compounds from the Priority Testing
List because information submitted in
response to the PAIR rule suggested low
potential for occupational exposure
(Ref. 13). In the 56th ITC Report, the ITC
removed an additional 6 vanadium
compounds from the Priority Testing
List because they were unlikely to be
impoundment contaminants (Ref. 3).
At this time, the ITC is removing the
remaining 12 vanadium compounds
from the Priority Testing List (Table 5 of
this unit).

In the 56th ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC
added tungsten oxide (W18O49) (CAS
No. 12037–57–9) and tungsten oxide
(W10O29) (CAS No. 12037–58–0) to the
Priority Testing List. The ITC is
requesting EPA not add these two
tungsten oxides to the TSCA section 8(a)
PAIR rule because information
submitted by the International Tungsten
Industry Association outlined the
problems associated with reporting
production of specific tungsten oxides
and difficulties of estimating worker
exposures for specific tungsten oxides.

Institute that was discussed in the 56th
ITC Report (Ref. 3), comments from the
Color Pigments Manufacturers
Association on bismuth vanadium oxide
manufacturing and product formulation
(Refs. 14, 15, 16), reports submitted in
response to the June 11, 2003 PAIR rule
(Ref. 6), and data published by Rattner
et al. (Ref. 7).
Most of the 12 vanadium compounds
have the potential to contaminate
impoundments (fluid-filled depressions)
at industrial facilities. However, as
discussed in the 56th ITC Report (Ref. 3),
the American Petroleum Institute
reported < 1 part per billion (ppb)
vanadium in one of their member’s

waste ponds and Electric Power
Research Institute suggested that
concentrations of vanadium compounds
in fly-ash ponds would likely range
from 10 to 100 ppb vanadium. These
concentrations are far less than the
467,000 ppb vanadium in the acidic (pH
4.5) Delaware petroleum refinery fly-ash
pond in which over 50 Canada geese
died.
The ITC is removing these 12
vanadium compounds from the Priority
Testing List because most
impoundments are likely to be alkaline
(causing the vanadium compounds to
precipitate) and because the American
Petroleum Institute and Electric Power
Research Institute data suggested that
impoundments contain low
concentrations of vanadium relative to
the avian lethal concentrations reported
by Rattner et al. (Ref. 7).

Fifty-Eighth Report of the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee to
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; Receipt of
Report and Request for Comments
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Interagency Testing
Committee (ITC) transmitted its Fifty-Eighth Report to the
Administrator of EPA on May 31, 2006. In the 58th ITC
Report, which is included with this notice, the ITC is revising the
TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List by removing 8 High Production
Volume (HPV) orphan chemicals, 3 indium compounds, 12 tungsten
compounds, and 12 vanadium compounds. Pursuant to the statements made
in the 56th and 57th ITC Reports, the ITC is
listing 286 new HPV chemicals in the appendix of this 58th
ITC Report to provide interested Federal and State agencies,
stakeholders, and the public with the Chemical Abstract Registry
Numbers (CAS No.) and names of chemicals with production or importation
volumes exceeding 1 million pounds on only the 2002 Inventory Update
Rule (IUR). In addition, the ITC is providing sources of publicly
available data on its website, https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc, for 120
of the 286 new HPV chemicals and 120 of the 235 new HPV chemicals
listed in the 56th ITC Report. These include sources of
acute and chronic toxicity, mutagenicity, reproductive effects or
developmental toxicity, ecological effects, environmental fate and
National Toxicology Program data for which there were publicly
available studies. The ITC is providing these data sources to
facilitate the efforts of Federal and State agencies, interested

II. Background
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 260l et seq.)
authorizes the Administrator of EPA to promulgate regulations under
TSCA section 4(a) which requires the testing of chemicals and chemical
groups in order to develop data relevant to determining the risks that
such chemicals and chemical groups may present to health or the
environment. Section 4(e) of TSCA established the ITC to recommend
chemicals and chemical groups to the Administrator of EPA for priority
testing consideration. Section 4(e) of TSCA directs the ITC to revise
the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List at least every 6 months.
You may access additional information about the ITC at https://
www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc or through the website for OPPTS at https://
www.epa.gov/opptsfrs/home/opptsim.htm.

SUMMARY
The ITC is revising the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section
4(e) Priority Testing List by removing 8 High Production Volume (HPV)
orphan chemicals, 3 indium compounds, 12 tungsten compounds, and 12
vanadium compounds. Pursuant to the statements made in the 56\th\ and
57\th\ ITC Reports, the ITC is listing 286 new HPV chemicals in the
appendix of this 58\th\ ITC Report to provide interested Federal and
State agencies, stakeholders, and the public with the Chemical
Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS No.) and names of chemicals with
production or importation volumes exceeding 1 million pounds on only
the 2002 Inventory Update Rule (IUR). In addition, the ITC is providing
sources of publicly available data on its website, https://www.epa.gov/
opptintr/itc, for 120 of the 286 new HPV chemicals and 120 of the 235
new HPV chemicals listed in the 56\th\ ITC Report. These include
sources of acute and chronic toxicity, mutagenicity, reproductive
effects or developmental toxicity, ecological effects, environmental
fate and National Toxicology Program data for which there were publicly
available studies. The ITC is providing these data sources to
facilitate the efforts of Federal and State agencies, interested
stakeholders, and members of the public in obtaining basic health
effects and environmental data for new HPV chemicals.

I. Background
The ITC was established by section 4(e) of TSCA ``to make
recommendations to the Administrator respecting the chemical substances
and mixtures to which the Administrator should give priority
consideration for the promulgation of rules for testing under section
4(a).... At least every six months ..., the Committee shall make such
revisions to the Priority Testing List as it determines to be necessary
and transmit them to the Administrator together with the Committee's
reasons for the revisions '' (Public Law 94-469, 90 Stat. 2003 et seq.,
15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). ITC Reports are available from the ITC's
website within a few days of submission to the Administrator and from
EPA's website (https://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr) after publication in the
Federal Register. The ITC produces its revisions to the Priority
Testing List with administrative and technical support from the ITC
Staff, ITC Members, and their U.S. Government organizations, and
contract support provided by EPA. ITC Members and Staff are listed at
the end of this report.
II. TSCA Section 8 Reporting
A. TSCA Section 8 Reporting Rules
Following receipt of the ITC's report (and the revised Priority
Testing List) by the EPA Administrator, the EPA's Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) may add the chemicals from the revised
Priority Testing List to the TSCA section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment
Information Reporting (PAIR) or TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety
Data Reporting (HaSDR) rules. The PAIR rule requires manufacturers
(including importers) of chemicals added to the Priority Testing List
to submit production and exposure reports (https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/
chemtest/pairform.pdf). The HaSDR rule requires manufacturers
(including importers) of chemicals added to the Priority Testing List
to submit unpublished health and safety studies under TSCA section 8(d)
that must be in compliance with the revised HaSDR rule (Ref. 1).
B. ITC's Use of TSCA Section 8 and Other Information
The ITC's use of TSCA section 8 and other information is described
in the 52\nd\ ITC Report (Ref. 2).
C. Previous Requests to Add Chemicals to the TSCA Section 8(a) PAIR
Rule and Section 8(d) HaSDR Rule
In the 56\th\ ITC Report, the ITC requested that EPA add 243 of the
251 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals on the Priority Testing List
to TSCA section 8(a) PAIR and 8(d) HaSDR rules (Ref 3). HPV Challenge
Program chemicals are those with U.S. annual production or importation
volumes of 1 million pounds or more reported to EPA in response to the
1990 IUR (https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemrtk/hpv_1990.htm)
supplemented with some HPV chemicals from the 1994 IUR (https://
www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemrtk/hpv_1994.htm). HPV Challenge Program
orphan chemicals are those for which companies have not made
commitments in accordance with EPA's Policy Regarding Acceptance of New
Commitments to Sponsor Chemicals under the HPV Challenge Program. The
June 27, 2005 policy is described in https://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/
hpvpolcy.htm and outlines a process by which EPA continues to encourage
commitments from U.S. manufacturers and importers of HPV Challenge
Program chemicals and defines specific timelines for submitting test
plans and robust summaries. At this time, the ITC is requesting that
EPA not add the 8 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals listed in
Tables 2 and 3 of the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3) to the TSCA section
8(a) PAIR and 8(d) HaSDR rules for the reasons stated in section
IV.A.1. of this report.
In the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC also requested that EPA
add tungsten oxide (W10O29) (CAS No. 12037-58-0)
and tungsten oxide (W18O49) (CAS No. 12037-57-9)
to the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule. At this time, the ITC is requesting
that EPA not add tungsten oxides, W10O29 (CAS No.
12037-58-0) and W18O49 (CAS No. 12037-57-9) to
the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule for the reasons stated in section
IV.A.2. of this report.
III. ITC's Activities During this Reporting Period (December 2005 to
May 2006)
In the 56\th\ ITC Report, the ITC discussed the Extended HPV (EHPV)
Program of the American Chemistry Council (ACC), Soap and Detergent
Association (SDA), and Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers
Association (SOCMA) and its data-availability study of 235 new HPV
chemicals with 1998 and 2002 IUR production or importation volume data
greater than 1 million pounds (Ref. 3). In the 57\th\ ITC Report, the
ITC stated that a data-availability study of 286 new HPV chemicals with
only 2002 IUR production or importation volume data greater than 1
million pounds may be made available after reviewing comments on the
study of the 235 new HPV chemicals (Ref. 4).
[[Page 39191]]
In response to comments, the ITC is making publicly available on
its website the data sources for 120 of the 235 new HPV chemicals and
120 of the 286 new HPV chemicals for which data were available. These
sources are based on December 2004 and August 2005 data-availability
studies, respectively. Neither the 235 new HPV chemicals discussed in
the 56\th\ ITC Report, nor the 286 new HPV chemicals listed in the
appendix of this 58\th\ ITC Report, include chemicals that were in the
EPA's HPV Challenge Program.
The methods that ITC used to conduct the data-availability study of
the 286 new HPV chemicals (and the 235 new HPV chemicals discussed in
the 56\th\ ITC Report) were identical to the methods that EPA used for
assessing the availability of data for the 1990 HPV Challenge Program
List of Chemicals (https://www.epa.gov/chemrtk/hazchem.pdf), but was
expanded to include studies sponsored by the NTP (https://ntp-
server.niehs.nih.gov). The methods that EPA used for the 1990 HPV
chemicals were designed to determine if there were available studies
for 6 endpoints (listed in this unit) that were required for the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Screening
Information Data Set (SIDS) dossiers. The methods were designed to
determine if there were available studies for four health-effects
endpoints (acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, mutagenicity, reproductive
effects/developmental toxicity), ecological effects endpoints,
environmental fate endpoints, and other health-effects endpoints (e.g.,
neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity) for which data might be available
from the National Toxicology Program.
Also during this reporting period, the ITC discussed:
1. New commitments for the 251 HPV Challenge Program orphan
chemicals on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List from the
56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3).
2. Information from the Indium Corporation of America and Umicore
(formerly Arconium Specialty Alloys) related to the data needs for
indium tin oxide (CAS No. 50926-11-9).
3. Reports submitted in response to the December 7, 2004 PAIR rule
(Ref. 5) and information from the International Tungsten Industry
Association related to the data needs for tungsten oxide
(W18O49) (CAS No. 12037-57-9) and tungsten oxide
(W10O29) (CAS No. 12037-58-0).
4. Data from the June 11, 2003 PAIR rule (Ref. 6) and a recent
study that described the toxicity of vanadium compounds to mallard
ducks and Canada geese (Ref. 7).
IV. Revisions to the TSCA Section 4(e) Priority Testing List: Chemicals
Removed from the Priority Testing List
A. HPV Orphan Chemicals
The ITC is removing 8 HPV orphan chemicals from the Priority
Testing List (Table 2 of this unit).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ITC is removing these 8 HPV orphan chemicals because test plans
and robust summaries were submitted to the EPA in compliance with the
Policy Regarding Acceptance of New Commitments to Sponsor Chemicals
under the HPV Challenge Program. At this time, 243 HPV orphan chemicals
remain on the Priority Testing List.
B. Indium Compounds
In the 47\th\ ITC Report, the ITC added 37 indium compounds to the
Priority Testing List to obtain importation, production, use, exposure,
and health effects information to meet U.S. Government data needs (Ref.
8). Twenty-eight indium compounds were removed from the Priority
Testing List because no production or importation data were submitted
to EPA in response to the July 26, 2001 PAIR rule (Ref. 9). These 28
indium compounds are listed in the 51\st\ ITC Report (Ref. 10). The
remaining 9 indium compounds were added to the May 4, 2004 TSCA section
8(d) HaSDR rule (Ref. 11). In the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC
removed 6 of the 9 indium compounds remaining on the Priority Testing
List because information submitted in response to the PAIR rule
suggested low potential for occupational exposure and because only one
study (acute toxicity of indium chloride) was submitted in response to
the HaSDR rule.
In this 58\th\ ITC Report, the ITC is removing indium (CAS No.
7440-74-6), indium tin oxide (CAS No. 50926-11-9), and indium phosphide
(CAS No. 22398-80-7) from the Priority Testing List because information
submitted in response to the July 26, 2001 PAIR rule (Ref. 9) and
information submitted by the Indium Corporation of America and Umicore
suggested low potential for occupational exposure and because no
studies for these indium compounds were submitted in response to the
May 4, 2004 HaSDR rule (Ref. 11).
C. Tungsten Compounds
In the 53\rd\ ITC Report, the ITC added 20 tungsten compounds to
the Priority Testing List to obtain importation, production, use,
exposure, and health effects information to meet U.S. Government data
needs (Ref. 12). The ITC is removing 10 tungsten compounds from the
Priority Testing List because information submitted in response to the
December 7, 2004 PAIR rule (Ref. 5) suggested low potential for
occupational exposure (Table 3 of this unit).

In the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3), the ITC added tungsten oxide
(W18O49) (CAS No. 12037-57-9) and tungsten oxide
(W10O29) (CAS No. 12037-58-0) to the Priority
Testing List. The ITC is requesting EPA not add these two tungsten
oxides to the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule because information submitted
by the International Tungsten Industry Association outlined the
problems associated with reporting production of specific tungsten
oxides and difficulties of estimating worker exposures for specific
tungsten oxides.
D.Vanadium Compounds
In the 51\st\ ITC Report, the ITC added 43 vanadium compounds to
the Priority Testing List to obtain importation, production, use,
exposure, and health effects information to meet U.S. Government data
needs (Ref. 10). At the ITC's request, the EPA added the 43 vanadium
compounds to the June 11, 2003 PAIR rule (Ref. 6). In the 54\th\ ITC
Report, the ITC removed 25 vanadium compounds from the Priority Testing
List because information submitted in response to the PAIR rule
suggested low potential for occupational exposure (Ref. 13). In the
56\th\ ITC Report, the ITC removed an additional 6 vanadium compounds
from the Priority Testing List because they were unlikely to be
impoundment contaminants (Ref. 3).
At this time, the ITC is removing the remaining 12 vanadium
compounds from the Priority Testing List (Table 5 of this unit).

Petroleum Institute and Electric Power Research Institute that was
discussed in the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3), comments from the Color
Pigments Manufacturers Association on bismuth vanadium oxide
manufacturing and product formulation (Refs. 14, 15, 16), reports
submitted in response to the June 11, 2003 PAIR rule (Ref. 6), and data
published by Rattner et al. (Ref. 7).
Most of the 12 vanadium compounds have the potential to contaminate
impoundments (fluid-filled depressions) at industrial facilities.
However, as discussed in the 56\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 3), the American
Petroleum Institute reported < 1 part per billion (ppb) vanadium in one
of their member's
[[Page 39193]]
waste ponds and Electric Power Research Institute suggested that
concentrations of vanadium compounds in fly-ash ponds would likely
range from 10 to 100 ppb vanadium. These concentrations are far less
than the 467,000 ppb vanadium in the acidic (pH 4.5) Delaware petroleum
refinery fly-ash pond in which over 50 Canada geese died.
The ITC is removing these 12 vanadium compounds from the Priority
Testing List because most impoundments are likely to be alkaline
(causing the vanadium compounds to precipitate) and because the
American Petroleum Institute and Electric Power Research Institute data
suggested that impoundments contain low concentrations of vanadium
relative to the avian lethal concentrations reported by Rattner et al.
(Ref. 7).
