Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 24, 2019 / Proposed Rules
CAS number: Not available.
Federal Register publication date
and reference: August 7, 2013 (78 FR
48051).
Basis for revocation of SNUR: EPA
issued a SNUR for this substance that
designated certain activities as
significant new uses based on a finding
that the substance may cause significant
adverse environmental effects and met
the concern criteria at
§ 721.170(b)(4)(ii). The SNUR required
notification before any use of the
substance resulting in surface water
concentrations exceeding 1 part per
billion (ppb). Subsequently, a
manufacturer of the substance
submitted a SNUN to allow surface
water concentrations exceeding 1 ppb.
Acute and chronic toxicity values
measured for fish, aquatic invertebrates,
and algae in the submitted data all
demonstrated no effects at saturation in
the aqueous environment. In addition,
the chronic toxicity value measured for
sediment-dwelling invertebrates is >788
milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) dry weight
(Lowest Observed Effect Concentration).
Test data on the chemical substance
were negative for the following human
health hazards: Mutagenicity, irritation
to the eyes and skin, and skin
sensitization. A No-Observed Adverse
Effect Level of 1,000 mg/kg-bodyweight
(bw)/day was identified based on no
treatment-related adverse effects at the
highest dose tested in a 28-day oral
repeated-dose toxicity study (OECD Test
Guideline 407). Based on the results of
the testing, EPA determined that the
substance has inherently low toxicity.
The studies are available in the public
docket. As a result, EPA made a
determination of not likely to present an
unreasonable risk under TSCA section
5(a)(3)(C) for the SNUN. EPA concludes
that the substance does not meet the
criteria under § 721.170(b). Therefore,
EPA proposes that the SNUR for these
chemical substances be revoked
pursuant to § 721.185(a)(4).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.10691.

B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under § 721.185, EPA may at any time
revoke a SNUR for a chemical substance
which has been added to subpart E of
§ 721 if EPA makes one of the
determinations set forth in
§ 721.185(a)(1) through (a)(6).
Revocation may occur on EPA’s
initiative or in response to a written
request. Under § 721.185(b)(3), if EPA
concludes that a SNUR should be
revoked, the Agency will propose the
changes in the Federal Register, briefly
describe the grounds for the action, and

provide interested parties an
opportunity to comment.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This proposed rule would revoke or
eliminate an existing regulatory
requirement and does not contain any
new or amended requirements. As such,
the Agency has determined that this
proposed SNUR revocation would not
have any adverse impacts, economic or
otherwise.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has exempted these types of
regulatory actions from review under
Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993). This proposed
rule does not contain any information
collections subject to approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Since this proposed
rule eliminates a reporting requirement,
the Agency certifies pursuant to section
605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), that this
SNUR revocation would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
For the same reasons, this action does
not require any action under Title II of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). This
proposed rule has neither Federalism
implications, because it would not have
substantial direct effects 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), nor Tribal implications, because
it would not have substantial direct
effects on one or more Indian Tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, as
specified in Executive Order 13175
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000).
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 under Executive Order
12866, and it does not address
environmental health or safety risks
disproportionately affecting children.
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 1311, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66
FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because this
action is not expected to affect energy
supply, distribution, or use. Because
this action does not involve any
technical standards, section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA),
Public Law 104–113, section 12(d) (15
U.S.C. 272 note), does not apply to this
action. This action does not involve
special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as required by
Executive Order 12898 entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994).

Regulatory Amendment 33 to the
Snapper Grouper Fishery Management
Plan
The number of recreational fishing
days for red snapper in federal waters in
the South Atlantic is determined by
NOAA Fisheries each year, based on
estimated harvest from the previous
year. If fishing is allowed, the opening
dates of both the recreational fishery
and commercial fishery currently begin
in July. The Council is considering
options for modifying the current
parameters in place, including the
season start dates, as well as days of the
week when red snapper harvest is
allowed to allow more flexibility for the
season and optimize fishing
opportunities for red snapper.

and includes actions to remove the
minimum number of days for allowing
a red snapper season (currently 3 days
or more), modify the start date of the
recreational red snapper season, revise
the days of the week recreational
harvest would be allowed, and modify
the start date of the red snapper
commercial fishery.
During the public hearings, Council
staff will present an overview of the
amendment via webinar and answer
clarifying questions relevant to the
proposed actions. Area Council
members will be present at each of the
Listening Stations to help answer
questions and facilitate discussion.
