Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19-1.F)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 31 chemical substances, 30 of 
which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and 1 (a 
microorganism) that was the subject of a Microbial Commercial Activity 
Notice (MCAN). 17 of these chemical substances are subject to Orders 
issued by EPA pursuant to the TSCA. This action would require persons 
who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or 
process any of these 31 chemical substances for an activity that is 
proposed as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days before 
commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's 
evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical 
substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may not 
commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until 
EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate 
determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required 
by that determination.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 30, 2019.

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 proposed 
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 determine whether this document 
applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:

[[Page 37200]]

     Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject 
chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical 
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
    This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing 
import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical 
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import 
certification requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 
and 19 CFR 127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of 
the chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and orders 
under TSCA. Importers of chemicals subject to final SNURs must certify 
their compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support 
of import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In 
addition, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical 
substance that is the subject of this proposed rule on or after August 
30, 2019 are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA 
section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20 or Sec.  725.920), 
and must comply with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR 
part 707, subpart D.

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 preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing these SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for 
chemical substances that were the subject of PMNs and an MCAN. These 
proposed SNURs would require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days 
before commencing the manufacture or processing of a chemical substance 
for any activity proposed as a significant new use. Receipt of such 
notices would allow EPA to assess risks and, if appropriate, to 
regulate the significant new use before it may occur. Additional 
background regarding SNURs is more fully set out in the preamble to 
EPA's first direct final SNUR published in the Federal Register issue 
of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376). Consult that preamble for further 
general information on the objectives, rationale, and procedures for 
SNURs and on the basis for significant new use designations, including 
provisions for developing test data.

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.'' EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all 
relevant factors, including the four bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) 
factors listed in Unit III. 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 (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(i)). TSCA furthermore 
prohibits such manufacturing or processing from commencing until EPA 
has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination 
on the notice, and taken such actions as are required in association 
with that determination (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(B)(ii)).

C. Applicability of General Provisions

    General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A 
and (for microorganisms) 40 CFR part 725, subpart L. These provisions 
describe persons subject to the proposed rule, recordkeeping 
requirements, and exemptions to reporting requirements, and 
applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date 
of the rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 
700. Pursuant to Sec.  721.1(c), persons subject to SNURs must comply 
with the same SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as 
submitters of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A) (15 U.S.C. 
2604(a)(1)(A)). In particular, these requirements include the 
information submission requirements of TSCA section 5(b) and 5(d)(1) 
(15 U.S.C. 2604(b) and 2604(d)(1)), the exemptions authorized by TSCA 
section 5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 
CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that 
the use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury under 
the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take such 
regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination 
before the manufacture or processing for the significant new use can 
commence. In the case of a determination other than not likely to 
present unreasonable risk, the applicable review period must also 
expire before manufacturing or processing for the new use may commence. 
If EPA determines that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable 
risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and 
submit for publication in the Federal Register, a statement of EPA's 
findings.

III. Significant New Use Determination

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA states that EPA's determination that a use 
of a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after 
consideration of all relevant factors, including:
     The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a 
chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use changes the type or form of 
exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and 
duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical 
substance.
     The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of 
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a 
chemical substance.
    In determining significant new uses for the 31 chemical substances 
that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered relevant 
information about the toxicity of the chemical substances and potential 
human exposures and environmental releases that may be associated with 
the conditions of use for the substances, in addition to the factors in 
TSCA section 5(a)(2). Note that when the Agency issues an order under 
TSCA section 5(e), section 5(f)(4) requires that the Agency consider 
whether to promulgate a SNUR for any use not conforming to the 
restrictions of the Order or publish a statement describing the reasons 
for not initiating the rulemaking.

IV. Substances Subject to This Proposed Rule

    EPA is proposing significant new use and recordkeeping requirements 
for 30 chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721,

[[Page 37201]]

subpart E and 1 chemical substance that is a microorganism described in 
MCAN J-18-41 in 40 CFR part 725. In this unit, EPA provides the 
following information for each chemical substance:
     PMN or MCAN number.
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is 
claimed as CBI).
     Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if 
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the SNUR or basis for the TSCA 5(e) Order.
     Information identified by EPA that would help characterize 
the potential health and/or environmental effects of the chemical 
substance in support of a request by the PMN/MCAN submitter to modify 
the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting 
a SNUN for a significant new use designated by the SNUR. This 
information may include testing required in a TSCA section 5(e) Order 
to be conducted by the PMN/MCAN submitter, as well as testing not 
required to be conducted but which would also help characterize the 
potential health and/or environmental effects of the PMN/MCAN 
substance. Any recommendation for information identified by EPA was 
made based on EPA's consideration of available screening-level data, if 
any, as well as other available information on appropriate testing for 
the chemical substance. Further, any such testing identified by EPA 
that includes testing on vertebrates was made after consideration of 
available toxicity information, computational toxicology and 
bioinformatics, and high-throughput screening methods and their 
prediction models. EPA also recognizes that whether testing/further 
information is needed will depend on the specific exposure and use 
scenario in the SNUN. EPA encourages all SNUN submitters to contact EPA 
to discuss any potential future testing. See Unit VII. for more 
information.
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of 
the proposed rule. The regulatory text section of each proposed rule 
specifies the activities that would be designated as significant new 
uses. Certain new uses, including exceedance of production volume 
limits (i.e., limits on manufacture volume) and other uses designated 
in this proposed rule, may be claimed as CBI.
    These proposed rules include 17 PMN substances that are subject to 
Orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the 
determinations made under section 5(a)(3)(B). Those Orders require 
protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the 
potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs would identify as 
significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution 
in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions 
imposed by the underlying Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
    Where EPA determined that the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to human health via inhalation exposure, 
the underlying TSCA section 5(e) Order usually requires, among other 
things, that potentially exposed employees wear specified respirators 
unless actual measurements of the workplace air show that air-borne 
concentrations of the PMN substance are below a New Chemical Exposure 
Limit (NCEL) that is established by EPA to provide adequate protection 
to human health. In addition to the actual NCEL concentration, the 
comprehensive NCELs provisions in TSCA section 5(e) Orders, which are 
modeled after Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) provisions, include requirements 
addressing performance criteria for sampling and analytical methods, 
periodic monitoring, respiratory protection, and recordkeeping. 
However, no comparable NCEL provisions currently exist in 40 CFR part 
721, subpart B, for SNURs. Therefore, for these cases, the individual 
SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, will state that persons subject to 
the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs as an alternative to the Sec.  721.63 
respirator requirements may request to do so under Sec.  721.30. EPA 
expects that persons whose Sec.  721.30 requests to use the NCELs 
approach for SNURs that are approved by EPA will be required to comply 
with NCELs provisions that are comparable to those contained in the 
corresponding TSCA section 5(e) Order for the same chemical substance.
    These proposed rules also include 13 PMN substances and 1 MCAN 
substance that received ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' 
determination in TSCA section 5(a)(3)(c). However, during the course of 
these reviews, EPA identified concerns for certain health and/or 
environmental risks if the chemicals were not used following the 
limitations identified by the submitters in the notices, but the 
section 5(a)(3)(C) determinations did not deem those uses as reasonably 
foreseen. The proposed SNURs would identify as significant new uses any 
manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal 
that does not conform to those same protection measures.
    The chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs are as follows:

PMN Number: P-17-157

    Chemical name: Silane amine carbonate (generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: October 15, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance will be for an open, non-
dispersive use. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN 
substance and Structure Analysis Relationships (SAR) analysis of test 
data on analogous substances, EPA has identified concerns for lung 
toxicity and irritation, if the chemical substance is not used 
following the limitations noted. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk to human 
health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order 
requires:
    1. Use of personal protective equipment to prevent dermal exposure 
where there is a potential for dermal exposure;
    2. Use of a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health 
(NIOSH)-certified respirator with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) 
of at least 1,000 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure; 
and
    3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, 
including precautionary statements on each label and in the Safety Data 
Sheet (SDS).
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful to characterize the health 
effects of the PMN substance in support of a request by the PMN 
submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
irritation and pulmonary effects testing would help characterize the 
potential health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does 
not require this test, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or 
other relevant information.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11267.

[[Page 37202]]

PMN Number: P-17-295

    Chemical name: Hydrochlorofluorolefin (generic).
    CAS number: Not Available.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: November 7, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMN states that the generic 
use of the PMN substance will be as a refrigerant used in closed 
systems for chillers (commercial comfort air conditioners) and 
industrial process refrigeration. EPA identified concerns for death, 
suppression of food consumption, lower weights of the thymus and 
epididymides in males, and histological changes in the lungs, testes, 
liver, and kidney based on an inhalation toxicity study conducted on 
the PMN substance. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the health or 
environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
    1. Use of personal protective equipment to prevent dermal exposure 
where there is a potential for dermal exposure;
    2. Use of NIOSH certified respirators with an APF of at least 10 
where there is a potential for inhalation exposure, or compliance with 
a NCEL of 23.6 mg/m\3\ as an 8-hour time-weighted average, to prevent 
inhalation exposure;
    3. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, 
including human health precautionary statements on each label and in 
the SDS;
    4. No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (import only);
    5. No consumer use; and
    6. Use only as a refrigerant used in closed systems for chillers 
(commercial comfort air conditioners) and industrial process 
refrigeration.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about potential exposure to the PMN substance may be 
potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to 
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering 
submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by 
this SNUR. EPA has determined that information that demonstrates 
adequate control of emissions using engineering controls other than 
those described in the PMN would be useful in determining the exposure 
to the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require this 
information, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order 
is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other 
relevant information.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11268.

PMN Numbers: P-17-306 and P-17-307

    Chemical names: Fatty acid modified aromatic polyester polyols 
(generic).
    CAS numbers: Not available.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: December 27, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMNs state that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substances will be as components in foam 
insulation. Based on data on primary metabolites, EPA identified 
concern for ocular toxicity, bladder effects, and kidney effects. EPA 
also identified concern for lung effects, irritation to eyes, mucous 
membranes and lung, and anesthetization of the eye based on surfactant 
properties. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) 
and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of 
sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, that the 
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health 
and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order 
requires:
    1. Use of personal protective equipment involving impervious gloves 
where there is a potential for dermal exposure;
    2. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, 
including human health precautionary statements on each label and in 
the SDS; and
    3. Refraining from use of the PMN substances involving any 
application method that generates a vapor, mist, aerosol or dust to 
which workers may be exposed.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the health effects of the PMN substances may be 
potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to 
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering 
submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by 
this SNUR. A specific target organ toxicity test would help EPA 
determine the potential effects of the PMN substances. Although the 
Order does not require this test, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11269 (P-17-306 and P-17-307).

PMN Number: P-17-320

    Chemical name: Dodecanedioic acid and 1,6-hexanediol polymer with 
3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl 2,2-dimethylhydracrylate, neopentylglycol, 
1,2 ethanediol, adipic acid, Isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, 2-
Oxooxopane, BayFlex 2002H and 1,1'-methylenebis(isocyanatobenzene) 
(generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: December 28, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMN states that the generic 
use of the PMN substance will be as an industrial adhesive. EPA 
identified concerns for dermal and respiratory sensitization, lung and 
mucous membrane irritation and mutagenicity based on isocyanate moiety 
for the low molecular weight fractions. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
    1. Use of personal protective equipment to prevent dermal exposure 
where there is a potential for dermal exposure;
    2. Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at least 50 
where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
    3. Refraining from using the PMN substance involving any 
application method that generates a vapor, mist, aerosol, or dust;
    4. Refraining from manufacturing the PMN substance with greater 
than 1% residual isocyanate by weight;
    5. Refraining from using the PMN substance for consumer or 
commercial use; and
    6. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, 
including human health precautionary statements on each label and the 
SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the health effects of the PMN substance may be 
potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to 
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering 
submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by 
this SNUR. EPA has also determined that sensitization and

[[Page 37203]]

mutagenicity effects testing of the PMN substance would be useful in 
determining the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order 
does not require this information, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11270.

PMN Number: P-17-329

    Chemical name: Ethanone, 1-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-.
    CAS number: 1417782-28-5.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: August 30, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance will be as an intermediate used 
in synthesis. EPA has identified concerns for sensitization, liver, 
blood, spleen, reproductive, and aquatic toxicity at concentrations 
that exceed 7 ppb based on hazard data submitted for the PMN. The Order 
was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), 
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to 
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to human health or the environment. The Order was also 
issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(II) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), 
based on a finding that the substance is or will be produced in 
substantial quantities and that the 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. To protect against these risks, the Order 
requires:
    1. Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use specified 
in the Order;
    2. No release of the PMN substance to surface waters exceeding 7 
parts per billion (ppb);
    3. Use of personal protective equipment to its workers to prevent 
dermal exposure where there is potential for dermal exposure;
    4. Use of NIOSH-certified respirators with an APF of at least 50 
where there is potential for inhalation exposure; and
    5. Establishment and use of a hazard communication program, 
including human health precautionary statements on each label and the 
SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the environmental effects of the PMN substance may be 
potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to 
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering 
submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by 
this SNUR. A chronic aquatic toxicity test would help EPA determine the 
potential environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the 
Order does not require this information, the Order's restrictions 
remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.

    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: November 2, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMNs state that the use of 
the substances will be as intermediates for use in the manufacture of 
polymers. EPA has estimated low human health hazard of the PMN 
substances based on their estimated physical properties, and by 
comparing them to structurally analogous chemical substances. If the 
PMN substances are manufactured differently as polymers under the same 
Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) (i.e., changes in 
the proportion of repeating units, the average molecular weight, 
percentage of low molecular weight components, and/or proportion of 
surface active monomers), hazard concerns may result based on changes 
in water solubility, dispensability, absorption, etc. Concerns may also 
result from ester moieties if the PMN substances are not manufactured 
as described in the PMN submissions. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to human health and the environment. The Order was also issued under 
TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(II) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a 
finding that the substances are or will be produced in substantial 
quantities and that the substances either enter 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 
substances. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
    1. Manufacture of the PMN substances with less than or equal to the 
confidential percentages of low molecular weight components and not 
less than the confidential average molecular weight specified in the 
Order; and
    2. Hazard communication requirements if new information identifies 
potential injury to human health or the environment.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the physical-chemical properties and environmental 
effects of the PMN substances may be potentially useful in support of a 
request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer 
or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use 
that would be designated by this SNUR. Physical-chemical property and 
aquatic toxicity testing would help EPA determine the potential effects 
of the PMN substances. Although the Order does not require this 
information, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order 
is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other 
relevant information.

phosphate (generic) (P-18-24).
    CAS numbers: Not Available.
    Effective date of TSCA section 5(e) Order: December 19, 2018.
    Basis for TSCA section 5(e) Order: The PMN states that the use of 
the PMN substances will be as epoxy hardener/curatives. EPA identified 
concerns for lung effects and irritation to the eyes, lungs, and mucous 
membranes based on surfactant activity. EPA also identified concern for 
corrosion to all tissues based on the low pH of the PMN substances. 
There are also concern for liver and systemic toxicity (P-18-23) and 
sensitization due to the presence of cashew nutshell liquid (P-18-24). 
Based on analysis of test data on analogous chemicals, EPA predicts 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations greater than 
3 ppb for P-18-23. Based on SAR predictions for anionic surfactants, 
EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations 
that exceed 1 ppb for P-18-24. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health

intermediate. EPA identified concerns for severe skin burns and eye 
damage, serious eye irritation, respiratory irritation, skin 
irritation, and oral toxicity based on structural alerts and 
information in the submitted SDS. Based on test data submitted with the 
PMN, there are also concerns for skin irritation and sensitization. 
Mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, developmental toxicity, 
and respiratory and dermal sensitization are of concern based on 
analysis of test data on an analog. Risks for lung toxicity and 
carcinogenicity via inhalation cancer via dermal exposure were 
identified to workers based on analysis of test data on an analogue 
substance. Based on QSAR predictions for analogous chemicals, EPA also 
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(I)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
    1. Use of personal protective equipment to prevent dermal exposure 
where there is a potential for dermal exposure;

    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful to characterize the health 
effects of the PMN substances if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be 
designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that the results 
of absorption, neurotoxicity and pulmonary effects testing of the PMN 
substances may be potentially useful in characterizing the health 
effects of the PMN substances.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11292 (P-18-224) and 40 CFR 721.11293 (P-
18-225).

PMN Number: P-18-233

    Chemical name: Alkyl alkenoic acid, alkyl ester, telomer with 
alkylthiol, substituted carbomonocycle, substituted alkyl alkyl 
alkenoate and hydroxyalkyl alkenoate, tertbutyl alkyl peroxoate-
initiated, (generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a coating agent. Based on 
data for analogous compounds, EPA has identified concerns for systemic, 
reproductive and developmental, and lung toxicity if the chemical is 
not used following the limitations noted. The intended conditions of 
use of the PMN substance described in the PMN include the following 
protective measure:
    1. No manufacturing (including import) in a solid form.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of this protective measure.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful to characterize the health 
effects of the PMN substance if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that would be 
designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that the results 
of absorption and metabolism, systemic, reproductive, and developmental 
toxicity testing would help characterize the potential health effects 
of the PMN substance.
    CFR citations: 40 CFR 721.11294.

PMN Number: P-18-279

    Chemical name: Substituted heteromonocycle, polymer with 
substituted alkanediol and diisocyanate substituted carbomonocyle, 
alkylene glycol acrylate-blocked (generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Basis for action: The PMN states that the use of the substance will 
be as a UV curable coating resin. Based on the physical/chemical 
properties of the PMN substance and test data on structurally similar 
substances, EPA has identified concerns for sensitization and 
irritation if the chemical is not used following the limitations noted. 
The intended conditions of use of the PMN substance described in the 
PMN include the following protective measure:
    1. Use of NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of 1000 when there 
is inhalation exposure from spray application.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of this protective measure.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information

[[Page 37208]]

about the health effects of the PMN substance may be potentially useful 
to characterize the effects of the PMN substance if a manufacturer or 
processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use 
that would be designated by this proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that 
the results of corrosion/irritation and sensitization testing would 
help characterize the potential health effects of the PMN substance.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.11295.

MCAN Number: J-18-41

    Chemical name: Arsenic detecting strain of E. coli with extra-
chromosomal elements, including an intergeneric screening marker 
(generic).
    CAS number: Not available.
    Basis for action: The MCAN states that the use of the substance 
will be to detect arsenic in small water samples. Based on the 
inclusion of antibiotic resistance genes in the MCAN microorganism, 
conferring resistance to clinically important antibiotics, EPA has 
identified concerns for loss of therapeutic value of these antibiotics 
if the resistance gene were to be horizontally transferred to a 
pathogen in the environment and if infections caused by those pathogens 
are treated with these antibiotics. There is low potential for gene 
transfer, and due to the low expected releases, the risks from this 
MCAN microorganism are low under the intended conditions of use. The 
intended conditions of use of the MCAN microorganism described in the 
MCAN include the following protective measures:
    1. No domestic manufacture within the United States (i.e., import 
only); and
    2. No use of the MCAN microorganism other than to detect arsenic in 
small water samples.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially useful information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the environmental fate and transfer of the antibiotic 
resistance gene in the MCAN microorganism may be potentially useful to 
characterize the health and environmental effects of the MCAN 
microorganism if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting 
a SNUN for a significant new use that would be designated by this 
proposed SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of a study of 
transformation of intergeneric DNA (blaTEM-1) from the MCAN 
microorganism (either living or inactivated) into microbes in the 
environment would help characterize the potential health and 
environmental effects of the MCAN microorganism.
    CFR citation: 40 CFR 725.1079.

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Proposed Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances 
that are subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA concluded that for 17 
chemical substances regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), 
pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned 
evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the chemical 
substances. The basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based 
on these findings, TSCA section 5(e) Orders requiring the use of 
appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN/MCAN 
submitters. The SNURs would identify as significant new uses any 
manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal 
that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying 
Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
    During review of the other 14 chemical substances that are the 
subject of these SNURs and as further discussed in Unit IV, EPA 
identified circumstances different from the intended conditions of use 
identified in the PMNs that raised potential risk concerns. EPA 
determined that deviations from the protective measures identified in 
the submissions could result in changes in the type or form of exposure 
to the chemical substances and/or increased exposures to the chemical 
substances and/or changes in the reasonably anticipated manner and 
methods of manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and 
disposal of the chemical substances, and therefore warranted SNURs. The 
SNURs would identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, 
processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not 
conform to the protection measures in the submission.

B. Objectives

    EPA is proposing these SNURs for specific chemical substances which 
have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants to 
achieve the following objectives with respect to the significant new 
uses that would be designated in this proposed rule:
     EPA would receive notice of any person's intent to 
manufacture or process a listed chemical substance for the described 
significant new use before that activity begins.
     EPA would be required to review and evaluate data 
submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or 
processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant 
new use.
     EPA would be required to either determine that the 
prospective manufacture or processing is not likely to present an 
unreasonable risk, or to take necessary regulatory action associated 
with any other determination, before the described significant new use 
of the chemical substance occurs.
    Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that 
the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance 
Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical 
substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at 
https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/existingchemicals/pubs/tscainventory/.

VI. Applicability of the Proposed Significant New Use Designation

    To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use 
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this proposed rule 
have undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not 
received a notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has 
not been added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such 
activities without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical 
substances for which an NOC has not been submitted EPA concludes that 
the designated significant new uses are not ongoing.
    When chemical substances identified in this proposed rule are added 
to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is 
effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified 
as a significant new use. However, TSCA section 5(e) Orders have been 
issued for 17 of the 31 chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are 
prohibited by the TSCA section 5(e) Orders from undertaking activities 
which would be designated as significant new uses. The identities of 27 
of the 31 chemical substances subject to this proposed rule have been 
claimed as confidential (per Sec. Sec.  720.85 and 725.85) for a 
chemical substance covered by this action. Based on this, the Agency 
believes that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new 
uses described in the regulatory text of this proposed rule are 
ongoing.
    Therefore, EPA designates July 31, 2019 as the cutoff date for 
determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA's 
approach is to ensure that a person cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating 
a significant new use before the effective date of the final rule.

[[Page 37209]]

    Persons who begin commercial manufacture or processing of the 
chemical substances for a significant new use identified as of that 
date would have to cease any such activity upon the effective date of 
the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons would have to 
first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and 
wait until EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an 
appropriate determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as 
are required with that determination.

VII. Development and Submission of Information

    EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require developing any 
particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before 
submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: Development of test data 
is required where the chemical substance subject to the SNUR is also 
subject to a rule, order or consent agreement under TSCA section 4 (see 
TSCA section 5(b)(1)).
    In the absence of a TSCA section 4 test rule covering the chemical 
substance, persons are required only to submit information in their 
possession or control and to describe any other information known to or 
reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR 720.50 and 725.155). 
However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the authority to 
require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists potentially useful 
information identified by EPA that would help characterize the 
potential health and/or environmental effects of the PMN/SNUN substance 
for all of the listed SNURs. EPA recognizes that the 2016 Lautenberg 
Amendments have led to modifications in our approach to testing 
requirements, including an increased consideration of alternatives to 
vertebrate testing. Descriptions of tests/information needs are 
provided for informational purposes only and EPA strongly encourages 
persons, before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency 
pertaining to protocol selection. Pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which 
pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages 
consultation with the Agency on the use of alternative test methods and 
strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if 
available, to generate the potentially useful information. EPA 
encourages dialogue with Agency representatives to help determine how 
best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of 
TSCA section 4(h). To access the OCSPP test guidelines referenced in 
this document electronically, please go to https://www.epa.gov/ocspp and 
select ``Test Methods and Guidelines.'' The Organisation for Economic 
Co-operation and Development test guidelines are available from the 
OECD Bookshop at https://www.oecdbookshop.org or SourceOECD at https://www.sourceoecd.org.
    The potentially useful information listed in Unit IV. may not be 
the only means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical 
substance. EPA recommends that potential SNUN submitters contact EPA 
early enough so that they will be able to conduct the appropriate 
tests.
    SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to 
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following:
     Human exposure and environmental release that may result 
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.

VIII. SNUN Submissions

    According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply 
with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures 
as persons submitting a PMN or MCAN, including submission of test data 
on health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50 or 
Sec.  725.160. SNUNs must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, 
generated using e-PMN software, and submitted to the Agency in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40 and Sec.  
721.25 (or 40 CFR 725.25 and Sec.  725.27). E-PMN software is available 
electronically at https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems.

IX. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN 
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical 
substances subject to this proposed rule. EPA's complete economic 
analysis is available in the docket under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-
2018-0777.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866

    This proposed rule would establish SNURs for several new chemical 
substances that were the subject of PMNs, an MCAN, and TSCA section 
5(e) Orders. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted 
these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, 
entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 
1993).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to 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 OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of 
the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if 
applicable.
    The information collection requirements related to this proposed 
rule 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. If an entity were to 
submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average 
between 30 and 170 hours per response. This burden estimate includes 
the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources, 
gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit 
the required SNUN.
    Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and 
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director, 
Regulatory Support Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, 
DC 20460-0001. Please remember to include the OMB control number in any 
correspondence, but do not submit any completed forms to this address.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby certifies that promulgation 
of this proposed SNUR would not have a significant adverse economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The requirement to 
submit a SNUN applies to any person (including small or large entities) 
who intends to engage in any activity described in the final rule as a 
``significant new use.'' Because these uses are ``new,'' based on all 
information currently available to EPA, it appears that no small or 
large entities presently engage in such activities. A SNUR requires 
that any person who intends to engage in such activity in the future 
must first notify EPA by submitting a SNUN. Although some small 
entities may decide to pursue a

[[Page 37210]]

significant new use in the future, EPA cannot presently determine how 
many, if any, there may be. However, EPA's experience to date is that, 
in response to the promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, 
the Agency receives only a small number of notices per year. For 
example, the number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year 
(FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 
18 in FY2018 and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. 
In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small 
businesses by reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. 
This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of 
submitting a SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. 
Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying with this 
proposed SNUR are not expected to be significant or adversely impact a 
substantial number of small entities. In a SNUR that published in the 
Federal Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency 
presented its general determination that final SNURs are not expected 
to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities, which was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration.

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 action. As 
such, EPA has determined that this proposed rule would not impose any 
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any 
effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA 
sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).

E. Executive Order 11632

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed rule would not have Tribal implications because it is 
not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This 
proposed rule would not significantly nor uniquely affect the 
communities of Indian Tribal governments, nor would 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 action.

G. Executive Order 13045

    This proposed rule 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 proposed rule 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 proposed rule is not expected to affect energy supply, 
distribution, or use and because this proposed rule is not a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    In addition, since this proposed rule would 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 proposed rule 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).
