DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under
the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972
AGENCY:
Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION:
pertaining to the horizontal distance
between the forward and after masthead
lights. The DAJAG (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has also certified that the
lights involved are located in closest
possible compliance with the applicable
72 COLREGS requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.
Final rule.
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that USS
LEYTE GULF (CG 55) is a vessel of the
Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with certain provisions of the 72
COLREGS without interfering with its
special function as a naval ship. The
intended effect of this rule is to warn
mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS
apply.
DATES: This rule is effective July 23,
2012 and is applicable beginning July
11, 2012.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain
Chemical Substances
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is finalizing significant
new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the
chemical substances rutile, tin zinc,
calcium-doped (CAS No. 389623–01–2)
and rutile, tin zinc, sodium-doped (CAS
No. 389623–07–8) which were the
subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs P–06–36 and P–06–37) and a
TSCA consent order issued by EPA.
This action requires persons who intend
to manufacture, import, or process
either of the chemical substances for an
activity that is designated as a
significant new use by this final rule to
notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing that activity. EPA believes
that this action is necessary because
new uses of the chemical substances
may be hazardous to human health. The
required notification would provide
EPA with the opportunity to evaluate
the intended use and, if necessary, to
prohibit or limit the activity before it
occurs.
SUMMARY:
This final rule is effective August
22, 2012.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–
OPPT–2010–1075. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index
available at https://www.regulations.gov.
Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available,
e.g., Confidential Business Information
(CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute.

Publicly available docket materials are
available in the electronic docket at

available in hard copy, at the OPPT

the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm.
3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301
Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room
hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The telephone number of
the EPA/DC Public Reading Room is
(202) 566–1744, and the telephone
number for the OPPT Docket is (202)
566–0280. Docket visitors are required
to show photographic identification,
pass through a metal detector, and sign
the EPA visitor log. All visitor bags are
processed through an X-ray machine
and subject to search. Visitors will be
provided an EPA/DC badge that must be
visible at all times in the building and
returned upon departure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you manufacture, import,
process, or use either of the chemical
substances contained in this final rule.
Potentially affected entities may
include, but are not limited to:
• Manufacturers, importers, or
processors of the subject chemical
substances (NAICS codes 325 and
324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing
and petroleum refineries.
This listing is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding entities likely to be
affected by this action. Other types of
entities not listed in this unit could also
be affected. The North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes have been provided to
assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to
certain entities. To determine whether
you or your business may be affected by
this action, you should carefully

examine the applicability provisions in
§ 721.5. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the
technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
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; see also 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 a final SNUR
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 final rule are
subject to the export notification
provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15
U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see § 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 SNURs under TSCA
section 5(a)(2) for two chemical
substances which were the subject of
PMNs and a TSCA section 5(e) consent
order. The two chemical substances are
identified as rutile, tin zinc, calciumdoped (PMN P–06–36; CAS No.
389623–01–2) and rutile, tin zinc,
sodium-doped (PMN P–06–37; CAS No.
389623–07–8). The final SNURs on
these substances are based on and
consistent with the provisions in the
underlying consent order. The final
SNURs designate as a significant new
use manufacture (including import) or
processing in the absence of the
protective measures required in the
corresponding consent order. This
action requires persons who intend to
manufacture, import, or process either
of these two chemical substances for an
activity that is designated as a
significant new use by this final rule to
notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing that activity.
Previously, in the Federal Register
issue of October 5, 2011 (76 FR 61566)
(FRL–8880–2), EPA issued direct final
SNURs on these two chemical
substances (see §§ 721.10230 and
721.10231). However, EPA received
notices of intent to submit adverse
comments on these SNURs. Therefore,
