FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The site to
be deleted from the NPL is: Federal
Creosote Superfund Site, Manville, New
Jersey. A Notice of Intent to Delete for
this Site was published in the Federal
Register at 79 FR 12436 on March 5,
2014.
The closing date for comments on the
Notice of Intent to Delete was April 4,
2014. One comment was received. The
comment suggested that a process be
established to protect against potential
future exposures to subsurface
contaminants brought to the surface by
redevelopment activities. Deed notices
apply adequate restrictions on
properties to protect against
redevelopment activities that have the
potential to deposit contaminated
subsurface soils on the land surface.
Deed notices, a required component of
the selected remedy, have been
implemented at the Federal Creosote
Superfund Site. The selected remedy,
which adequately protects human
health and the environment, has been
fully implemented and therefore
satisfies the deletion criteria of the
National Contingency Plan.
EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant
risk to public health, welfare, or the
environment. Deletion from the NPL
does not preclude further remedial
action. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL,
the deleted site may be restored to the
NPL without application of the hazard
ranking system. Deletion of a site from
the NPL does not affect responsible
party liability in the unlikely event that
future conditions warrant further
actions.

(SNURs) under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) for 36 chemical
substances which were the subject of
premanufacture notices (PMNs). This
action updates SNURs that were issued
using generic chemical names but will
now identify the specific chemical name
and chemical abstract number.

B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
Using direct final procedures, EPA is
updating the chemical identity listings
SNURs for 36 chemical substances
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:22 Jun 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
which were the subject of PMNs. The
SNURs were previously issued using
generic chemical names. This action
identifies the specific chemical name
and chemical abstract number in the
modified SNUR, as this information is
now publicly available. EPA is not
changing the significant new use
reporting requirements, the basis, or the
findings for these SNURs. These SNURs
will continue to require persons to
notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing the manufacture or
processing of a chemical substance for
any activity designated by these SNURs
as a significant new use. Receipt of such
notices allows EPA to assess risks that
may be presented by the intended uses
and, if appropriate, to regulate the
proposed use before it occurs.
Previously, in the Federal Register of
July 28, 2009 (74 FR 37224) (FRL–8392–
4), EPA issued a notice ‘‘TSCA
Chemical Substance Inventory Update;
Changing Certain Chemical Substances
Identities from Confidential to NonConfidential.’’ The notice announced
that the specific chemical identities of
various chemical substances, including
36 subject to the SNURs identified in
this direct final rule, would be listed on
the public version of the TSCA
Chemical Substance Inventory.
B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C.
2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine
that a use of a chemical substance is a
‘‘significant new use.’’ Once EPA
determines that a use of a chemical
substance is a significant new use,
TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons
to submit a significant new use notice
(SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before
they manufacture or process the
chemical substance for that use. Persons
who must report are described in
§ 721.5.
III. Direct Final Procedures
EPA is issuing these chemical identity
changes as a direct final rule, as
described in § 721.160(c)(3) and
§ 721.170(d)(4). In accordance with
§ 721.160(c)(3)(ii) and
§ 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B), the effective date
of this rule is August 18, 2014 without
further notice, unless EPA receives
written adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or
critical comments before July 18, 2014.
If EPA receives written adverse or
critical comments, or notice of intent to
submit adverse or critical comments, on
one or more of these SNURs before July
18, 2014, EPA will withdraw the
relevant sections of this direct final rule
before its effective date. EPA will then
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
34635
issue a proposed SNUR for the chemical
substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received,
providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
This rule updates the chemical
identity of SNURs for a number of
chemical substances. Any person who
submits adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or
critical comments, must identify the
chemical substance to which it applies.
EPA will not withdraw a SNUR
modification for a chemical substance
not identified in the comment.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866
This rule modifies SNURs for several
new chemical substances that were the
subject of PMNs, or TSCA section 5(e)
consent orders. This action does not
alter any obligations under these SNURs
and therefore is not a significant action
under Executive Order 12866, entitled
‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’ (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
According to Paperwork Reduction
Act (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 PRA, unless it has
been approved by OMB and displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The information collection requirements
related to this action have already been
approved by OMB pursuant to PRA
under OMB control number 2070–0012
(EPA ICR No. 574). This action does not
impose any burden requiring additional
OMB approval.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This rule would provide more specific
information on the chemical substances
subject to the SNURs affected by the
rule, and therefore does not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
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
rule. As such, EPA has determined that
this rule does not impose any
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded
mandate, or otherwise have any effect
on small governments subject to the
E:\FR\FM\18JNR1.SGM
18JNR1
34636
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 117 / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
requirements of UMRA sections 202,
203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
E. Executive Order 13132
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, entitled
‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999).
F. Executive Order 13175
Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
■
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (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).
§ 721.530 Propanoyl chloride, 3-chloro-2,2dimethyl-.
(a) Chemical substance and
significant new uses subject to reporting.
(1) The chemical substance identified as
propanoyl chloride, 3-chloro-2,2dimethyl- (PMN P–84–491; CAS No.
4300–97–4) is subject to reporting under
this section for the significant new uses
described in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section.

■ 5. In § 721.558, revise the section
heading and paragraph (a)(1) to read as
follows:
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 721
This rule does not have Tribal
implications because it is not expected
to have substantial direct effects on
Indian Tribes. This rule 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,
entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply
to this rule.
Dated: June 11, 2014.
Maria J. Doa,
Director, Chemical Control Division, Office
of Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
G. Executive Order 13045
■
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (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
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, entitled ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (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.

Modification of Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical
Substances; Update of Chemical Identities
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is updating the chemical identities of significant new use
rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 36
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs). This action updates SNURs that were issued using generic
chemical names but will now identify the specific chemical name and
chemical abstract number.
DATES: This rule is effective on August 18, 2014. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on
July 2, 2014.
Written adverse or critical comments, or notice of intent to submit
adverse or critical comments, on this direct final rule must be
received on or before July 18, 2014 (see Unit III. of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION). If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on before July
18, 2014, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of this direct final
rule before its effective date.

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
[[Page 34635]]
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.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
Using direct final procedures, EPA is updating the chemical
identity listings SNURs for 36 chemical substances which were the
subject of PMNs. The SNURs were previously issued using generic
chemical names. This action identifies the specific chemical name and
chemical abstract number in the modified SNUR, as this information is
now publicly available. EPA is not changing the significant new use
reporting requirements, the basis, or the findings for these SNURs.
These SNURs will continue to require persons to notify EPA at least 90
days before commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical
substance for any activity designated by these SNURs as a significant
new use. Receipt of such notices allows EPA to assess risks that may be
presented by the intended uses and, if appropriate, to regulate the
proposed use before it occurs.
Previously, in the Federal Register of July 28, 2009 (74 FR 37224)
(FRL-8392-4), EPA issued a notice ``TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory
Update; Changing Certain Chemical Substances Identities from
Confidential to Non-Confidential.'' The notice announced that the
specific chemical identities of various chemical substances, including
36 subject to the SNURs identified in this direct final rule, would be
listed on the public version of the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' Once EPA determines that a use of a chemical substance is a
significant new use, TSCA section 5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit
a significant new use notice (SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they
manufacture or process the chemical substance for that use. Persons who
must report are described in Sec. 721.5.
III. Direct Final Procedures
EPA is issuing these chemical identity changes as a direct final
rule, as described in Sec. 721.160(c)(3) and Sec. 721.170(d)(4). In
accordance with Sec. 721.160(c)(3)(ii) and Sec. 721.170(d)(4)(i)(B),
the effective date of this rule is August 18, 2014 without further
notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or
notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments before July 18,
2014.
If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these
SNURs before July 18, 2014, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of
this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a
proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
This rule updates the chemical identity of SNURs for a number of
chemical substances. Any person who submits adverse or critical
comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments,
must identify the chemical substance to which it applies. EPA will not
withdraw a SNUR modification for a chemical substance not identified in
the comment.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866
This rule modifies SNURs for several new chemical substances that
were the subject of PMNs, or TSCA section 5(e) consent orders. This
action does not alter any obligations under these SNURs and therefore
is not a significant action under Executive Order 12866, entitled
``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
According to Paperwork Reduction Act (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 PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The information collection
requirements related to this action have already been approved by OMB
pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574).
This action does not impose any burden requiring additional OMB
approval.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This rule would provide more specific information on the chemical
substances subject to the SNURs affected by the rule, and therefore
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
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 rule. As
such, EPA has determined that this rule does not impose any enforceable
duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on
small governments subject to the
[[Page 34636]]
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et
seq.).
E. Executive Order 13132
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, entitled
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
F. Executive Order 13175
This rule does not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This rule
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, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this
rule.
G. Executive Order 13045
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (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
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (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
This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898, entitled
``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (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).
