II. What action is the Agency taking?
As directed in TSCA section
12(c)(7)(B), 15 U.S.C. 2611(c)(7)(B), EPA
is publishing a list of mercury
compounds prohibited from export
under TSCA section 12(c), as amended.
EPA must publish this list not later than
90 days after June 22, 2016 (15 U.S.C.
2611(c)(7)(B)). Effective January 1, 2020,
the statute prohibits export of: Mercury
(I) chloride or calomel; mercury (II)
oxide; mercury (II) sulfate; mercury (II)
nitrate; and cinnabar or mercury
sulphide (15 U.S.C. 2611(c)(7)(A)(i)–(v)).
The respective Chemical Abstracts
Service Registry Numbers (CASRN)
associated with the enumerated
chemical substances are: 10112–91–1,
21908–53–2, 7783–35–9, 10045–94–0,
and 1344–48–5. The statute also
provides that EPA, on determining that
exporting any additional mercury
compound for the purpose of
regenerating elemental mercury is
technically feasible, may add by rule
such mercury compound to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:17 Aug 25, 2016
Jkt 238001
published list (15 U.S.C.
2611(c)(7)(A)(vi)). In addition, any
person may petition EPA to add a
mercury compound to this published
list (15 U.S.C. 2611(c)(7)(C)). The statute
provides an exception to the export
prohibition for export of listed mercury
compounds to member countries of the
Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development for environmentally
sound disposal, on the condition that no
mercury or mercury compounds so
exported are to be recovered, recycled,
or reclaimed for use, or directly reused,
after such export (15 U.S.C.
2611(c)(7)(D)). EPA is not soliciting
comments on this notice.

B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.
