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. A.

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. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES2 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). TABLE 2.—HPV ORPHAN CHEMICALS BEING REMOVED FROM THE PRIORITY TESTING LIST CAS No. Chemical name 78–42–2 Phosphoric acid, tris(2ethylhexyl) ester 140–08–9 Ethanol, 2-chloro-, phosphite (3:1) 12645–31–7 Phosphoric acid, 2ethylhexyl ester 25586–42–9 Phosphorous acid, tris(methylphenyl) ester 68511–40–0 1-Propanamine, 3(tridecyloxy)-, branched 68553–14–0 Hydrocarbons, C8–11 68953–70–8 Oxirane, reaction products with ammonia, distn. residues 70024–67–8 Benzenesulfonic acid, C16– 24-alkyl derives 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).

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).

(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 E:\FR\FM\11JYN2.SGM 11JYN2 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 11, 2006 / Notices jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES2 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). V. References 1. EPA. 1998. Revisions to Reporting Regulations under TSCA Section 8(d) (63 FR 15765, April 1, 1998) (FRL– 5750–4). Available on-line at: https:// www.epa.gov/fedrgstr. 2.

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 
stakeholders, and members of the public in obtaining basic health 
effects and environmental data for new HPV chemicals.

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://

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

    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).

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

    The ITC is removing these 12 vanadium compounds from the Priority 
Testing List after reviewing information submitted by the American 
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).
