ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period. AGENCY: In the Federal Register of July 29, 2019, EPA proposed a rule concerning certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals identified pursuant to section 6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These five chemicals are: decabromodiphenyl ether; phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1), also known as tris(4-isopropylphenyl) phosphate; 2,4,6-tris(tert-butyl)phenol; hexachlorobutadiene; and pentachlorothiophenol. The proposed rule, if finalized, would restrict or prohibit manufacture (including import), processing, and distribution in commerce for many uses of four of these five chemical substances. EPA evaluated the uses of hexachlorobutadiene and proposed no regulatory action. For the other four, the proposal included recordkeeping requirements. Additional downstream notification requirements were proposed for phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1).

On August 27, 2019, the WIA filed a Petition for Rulemaking and a Petition for Declaratory Ruling. On September 6, 2019, CTIA filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling. The petition for rulemaking requests additional rules to implement Section 6409 of the Spectrum Act, 47 U.S.C. 1455. The petitions for declaratory ruling request that the Commission clarify its rules implementing Section 6409 and Sections 1455 and 224 of the Communications Act. 47 U.S.C. 1455. WIA’s Petition for Rulemaking asks the Commission to amend our rules to reflect that collocations requiring an expansion of the current site—within 30 feet of a tower site—qualify for relief under Section 6409(a) and to require that fees associated with eligible facilities requests under Section 6409 be cost-based. WIA’s Petition for Declaratory Ruling asks the Commission to clarify (1) that Section 6409(a) and our related rules apply to all state and local authorizations; (2) when the time to decide an application begins to run; (3) what constitutes a substantial change under Section 6409(a); (4) that ‘‘conditional’’ approvals by localities violate Section 6409(a); and (5) that localities may not establish processes or impose conditions that effectively defeat or reduce the protections afforded under Section 6409(a). CTIA’s Petition for Declaratory Ruling asks the Commission to clarify the terms ‘‘concealment element,’’ ‘‘equipment cabinet,’’ and ‘‘base station’’ in our rules, and clarify that when an application is ‘‘deemed granted’’ under Section 6409, applicants may lawfully construct even if the siting authority has not issued construction permits. With respect to Section 224, CTIA asks the Commission to: (1) Determine that the definition of the term ‘‘pole’’ in Section 224 includes light poles; (2) conclude that utilities may not impose blanket prohibitions on access to certain parts of the pole; and (3) clarify that utilities may not ask attachers to accept terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the Commission’s rules.

Regulation of Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals 
Under TSCA Section 6(h); Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of July 29, 2019, EPA proposed a rule 
concerning certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals 
identified pursuant to section 6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act 
(TSCA). These five chemicals are: decabromodiphenyl ether; phenol, 
isopropylated phosphate (3:1), also known as tris(4-isopropylphenyl) 
phosphate; 2,4,6-tris(tert-butyl)phenol; hexachlorobutadiene; and 
pentachlorothiophenol. The proposed rule, if finalized, would restrict 
or prohibit manufacture (including import), processing, and 
distribution in commerce for many uses of four of these five chemical 
substances. EPA evaluated the uses of hexachlorobutadiene and proposed 
no regulatory action. For the other four, the proposal included 
recordkeeping requirements. Additional downstream notification 
requirements were proposed for phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1). 
This document extends the comment period for 31 days, from September 
27, 2019, to October 28, 2019.

DATES: Comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document extends the public comment 
period established in the Federal Register document of July 29, 2019 
(84 FR 36728) (FRL-9995-76). In that document, EPA proposed a rule 
concerning certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals 
identified pursuant to section 6(h) of the Toxic Substances Control Act 
(TSCA). These five chemicals are: decabromodiphenyl ether; phenol, 
isopropylated phosphate (3:1), also known as tris(4-isopropylphenyl) 
phosphate; 2,4,6-tris(tert-butyl)phenol; hexachlorobutadiene; and 
pentachlorothiophenol. The proposed rule, if finalized, would restrict 
or prohibit manufacture (including import), processing, and

substances. EPA evaluated the uses of hexachlorobutadiene and proposed 
no regulatory action. For the other four, the proposal included 
recordkeeping requirements. Additional downstream notification 
requirements were proposed for phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1). 
More information on EPA's proposal can be found in the July 29, 2019 
Federal Register document (84 FR 36728) (FRL-9995-76).
    This document extends the comment period for 31 days, from 
September 27, 2019, to October 28, 2019. A lengthier extension of the 
comment period was requested. EPA agrees that an extension of the 
comment period is warranted, given the fact that the proposal and the 
extensive supporting materials address five separate chemical 
substances. However, in view of the statutory deadline requiring final 
action 18 months after issuance of the proposal and the considerable 
outreach EPA

conducted prior to issuing the proposal, the Agency has concluded that 
a 31-day extension is sufficient.
