Proposed Issuance of the NPDES
General Permit for Discharges From
the Oil and Gas Extraction Point
Source Category—Stripper
Subcategory in Texas (TXG350000)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposal of NPDES General
Permit Renewal.
EPA Region 6 today proposes
a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) general
permit regulating discharges from oil
and gas wells in the Stripper
Subcategory which discharge into
waters in Texas.
DATES: Comments must be received by
June 9, 2017.

Ms.
Evelyn Rosborough, Region 6, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 1445
Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733.
Telephone: (214) 665–7515.
A complete draft permit and a fact
sheet more fully explaining the proposal
may be obtained online from the Federal
eRulemaking Portal accessing the
Docket listed above or from Ms.
Rosborough. In addition, the Agency’s
current administrative record on the
proposal is available for examination at
the Region’s Dallas offices during
normal working hours after providing
Ms. Rosborough 24 hours advance
notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
current permit authorizes discharges of
produced water from wells in the
Stripper Subcategory located east of the
98th meridian whose produced water
comes from the Carrizo/Wilcox, Reklaw
or Bartosh formations in Texas as
authorized by the expiring permit. EPA
is soliciting comments whether to
expand the permit coverage to include
all stripper wells in Texas. The permit
proposes to authorize discharges of
produced water, well field drainage, and
chemical-free miscellaneous discharges.
More stringent requirements are
proposed to regulate discharges to water
quality-impaired waterbodies. Proposed
changes include (1) removal of
authorization for sanitary waste,
domestic waste, and miscellaneous
discharges which are unrelated to
stripper well operations; (2) removal of
authorization of direct discharge to
coastal waters; (3) revision of the
toxicity monitoring requirement and
removal of the ion-imbalance
exemption; (4) the addition of electronic
filing requirements for Notices of Intent
(NOIs); and (5) the addition of a
‘‘sufficiently sensitive method’’
requirement for analysis. Rationales for
those changes are described in the Fact
Sheet. To obtain discharge
authorization, operators of such
facilities must submit a new NOI. To
determine whether your facility,
company, business, organization, etc. is
regulated by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability
criteria in Part I, Section A.1 of this
permit. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person
listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Section 5(g) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
EPA to publish in the Federal Register
a statement of its findings after its
review of TSCA section 5(a) notices
when EPA makes a finding that a new
chemical substance or significant new
use is not likely to present an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment. Such statements apply
to premanufacture notices (PMNs),
microbial commercial activity notices
(MCANs), and significant new use
notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA
under TSCA section 5. This document
presents statements of findings made by
EPA on TSCA section 5(a) notices
during the period from December 1,
2016 to December 31, 2016.

II. What action is the Agency taking?
This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from December 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of a TSCA section
5(a) notice when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs,
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging in the significant new use.
The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.
IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)
In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the
new chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment:
