ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. AGENCY: EPA is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 28 chemical substances, which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking procedures, which requires EPA to take certain actions if an adverse comment is received. EPA received adverse comments regarding the SNURs identified in the direct final rule. Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing the direct final rule SNURs identified in this document, as required under the direct final rulemaking procedures. DATES: The direct final rule published at 83 FR 50838 on October 10, 2018 (FRL– 9984–65) is withdrawn effective December 7, 2018. ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2018–0649, is available at https://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection Agency Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Does this action apply to me? A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal Register of October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50838) (FRL– 9984–65). If you have questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. II. What direct final SNURs are being withdrawn? In the Federal Register of October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50838) (FRL–9984–65), EPA issued direct final SNURs for 28 chemical substances that are identified in the document. Because the Agency received adverse comments regarding the SNURs identified in the document, EPA is withdrawing the direct final SNURs issued for these 28 chemical substances, which were the subject of PMNs. In addition to the Direct Final SNURs, elsewhere in the same issue of the Federal Register of October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50872) (FRL–9984–67), EPA issued proposed SNURs covering these 28 chemical substances. EPA will address all adverse public comments in a subsequent final rule, based on the proposed rule. III. Good Cause Finding EPA determined that this document is not subject to the 30-day delay of effective date generally required by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(d)) because of the time limitations for publication in the Federal Register. This document must publish on or before the effective date of the direct final rule containing the direct final SNURs being withdrawn. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This action withdraws regulatory requirements that have not gone into effect and which contain no new or amended requirements and reopens a comment period. As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have any adverse impacts, economic or E:\FR\FM\07DER1.SGM 07DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 235 / Friday, December 7, 2018 / Rules and Regulations otherwise. The statutory and Executive Order review requirements applicable to the direct final rules were discussed in the October 10, 2018 Federal Register (83 FR 50838). Those review requirements do not apply to this action because it is a withdrawal and does not contain any new or amended requirements. V. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 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). Section 808 of the CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. As required by 5 U.S.C. 808(2), this determination is supported by a brief statement in Unit III.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 announces the partial deletion of all media at the 20acre Former Research Center Property of the Beloit Corporation Superfund Site (Site), in Rockton, Illinois from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The remainder of the Site will remain on the NPL and is not being considered for deletion as part of this action. EPA and the State of Illinois through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, monitoring and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, the deletion of this parcel does not preclude future actions under Superfund. DATES: This action is effective December 7, 2018. ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket Identification No. EPA–HQ–SFUND– 1990–0011. All documents in the docket are listed on the https:// www.regulations.gov website.

The portion of the Beloit Corporation (Beloit Corp.) Site to be deleted from the NPL is the Former Beloit Corp. Research Center Property, PIN 03–12–452–003, located at 1155 Prairie Hill Road, in Rockton, Illinois. A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for the Beloit Corp. Site was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2018 (83 FR 32825). A Direct final rule approving the deletion was concurrently published in the Federal Register (83 FR 32798). The partial deletion was to automatically take effect on September 14, 2018, if no adverse public comments were received. EPA was required to withdraw the Direct final rule of July 16, 2018 (83 FR 32826), effective September 14, 2018, to prevent the Direct final rule from taking effect, because EPA did not provide timely notice of the publication of the Direct final rule through publication of an advertisement in a local newspaper as required by EPA policy. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion as published in the Notice was August 15, 2018. EPA informally extended the public comment period until October 15, 2018, through advertisements published in two local newspapers, The Rockton Hearld and The Rockford Register Star on September 13, 2018. EPA received one public comment on the partial deletion. Upon review of the comment, EPA finds that the comment is not related to the rule-making, is not site-specific and, as such, is not adverse. Therefore, EPA Region 5 is proceeding with the partial deletion of the Beloit Corp. Site. EPA prepared a memorandum responding to the public comment and placed the memorandum in the docket, EPA–HQ–SFUND–1990– 0011, on www.regulations.gov, and in the local information repositories listed above. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. Deletion of a site 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 portions of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances; 
Withdrawal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs) 
promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 28 
chemical substances, which were the subject of premanufacture notices 
(PMNs). EPA published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking 
procedures, which requires EPA to take certain actions if an adverse 
comment is received. EPA received adverse comments regarding the SNURs 
identified in the direct final rule. Therefore, the Agency is 
withdrawing the direct final rule SNURs identified in this document, as 
required under the direct final rulemaking procedures.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 83 FR 50838 on October 10, 
2018 (FRL-9984-65) is withdrawn effective December 7, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0649, is available at 
https://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pollution Prevention and 
Toxics Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection Agency Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me?

    A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal 
Register of October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50838) (FRL-9984-65). If you have 
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular 
entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. What direct final SNURs are being withdrawn?

    In the Federal Register of October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50838) (FRL-
9984-65), EPA issued direct final SNURs for 28 chemical substances that 
are identified in the document. Because the Agency received adverse 
comments regarding the SNURs identified in the document, EPA is 
withdrawing the direct final SNURs issued for these 28 chemical 
substances, which were the subject of PMNs. In addition to the Direct 
Final SNURs, elsewhere in the same issue of the Federal Register of 
October 10, 2018 (83 FR 50872) (FRL-9984-67), EPA issued proposed SNURs 
covering these 28 chemical substances. EPA will address all adverse 
public comments in a subsequent final rule, based on the proposed rule.

III. Good Cause Finding

    EPA determined that this document is not subject to the 30-day 
delay of effective date generally required by the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(d)) because of the time limitations 
for publication in the Federal Register. This document must publish on 
or before the effective date of the direct final rule containing the 
direct final SNURs being withdrawn.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action withdraws regulatory requirements that have not gone 
into effect and which contain no new or amended requirements and 
reopens a comment period. As such, the Agency has determined that this 
action will not have any adverse impacts, economic or

[[Page 63067]]

otherwise. The statutory and Executive Order review requirements 
applicable to the direct final rules were discussed in the October 10, 
2018 Federal Register (83 FR 50838). Those review requirements do not 
apply to this action because it is a withdrawal and does not contain 
any new or amended requirements.

V. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    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). Section 808 of the CRA allows the 
issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided 
by CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public 
procedure is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest. As required by 5 U.S.C. 808(2), this determination is 
supported by a brief statement in Unit III.
