Download as PDF 66552 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 203 / Tuesday, October 20, 2020 / Notices phosphogypsum uneconomical at distances greater than about 200 miles from a stack.3 In that case, the regional distribution of phosphogypsum stacks suggests that its use for road construction would likely be concentrated in the southeastern part of the country but could also occur in western states such as Idaho and Wyoming. C. TFI’s Risk Assessment As required by Subpart R, TFI submitted a risk assessment as part of its request.4 The risk assessment assessed potential exposures to individuals in various scenarios involving road users, nearby residents, and road construction workers. TFI’s exposure scenarios and modeling approaches were largely consistent with the EPA’s 1992 analysis, as were the overall results. The EPA finds TFI’s risk assessment to adequately demonstrate that the use of phosphogypsum in road construction will be at least as protective of human health, in the short- and long-term, as stacking.5 However, as in 1992, the EPA remains concerned about potential exposures should the road become abandoned, particularly for a residence built on road material containing phosphogypsum. The EPA does not agree that TFI’s assumptions in its analysis of this scenario, such as the use of radon resistant home construction techniques, could be relied upon to limit the potential risks to a future residential individual from such an occurrence. In this case, however, the EPA believes that this risk can be acceptably mitigated by including appropriate terms and conditions in the approval. In defining its request and exposure scenarios, TFI’s risk assessment assumes certain limitations involving the construction and placement of roads. For example, phosphogypsum incorporated into the road base and the road surface is limited in its radium-226 concentration and is assumed to be mixed with other materials in limited proportions. The terms and conditions of the approval reflect these assumptions and limitations. 3 ‘‘Economic Analysis of Phosphogypsum Reuse,’’ prepared for TFI by Policy Navigation Group, submitted as Appendix 6 to TFI’s Revised Request, December 2019, page 19. 4 ‘‘Radiological Risk Assessment in Support of Petition for Beneficial Use of Phosphogypsum,’’ prepared for TFI by Arcadis Canada Inc., submitted as Appendix 2 to TFI’s Revised Request, October 2019. 5 ‘‘Review of the Radiological Risk Assessment Submitted in Support of Request for Approval of Other Use of Phosphogypsum,’’ October 2019, The Fertilizer Institute. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Oct 19, 2020 Jkt 253001 D. Terms and Conditions of the Approval The EPA has determined that, subject to the terms and conditions summarized below, phosphogypsum may be removed from stacks and used in government road projects, as requested by TFI. This approval to use phosphogypsum in road construction does not authorize the removal of any phosphogypsum from any stacks or the use of any phosphogypsum for road construction unless and until the information required by the ‘‘Initial Conditions,’’ below, is provided to EPA. Only after such information is provided to EPA, may phosphogypsum be removed from stacks and used in road construction, further provided that the conditions expressed in ‘‘Other Conditions,’’ below, continue to be met. A complete listing of the terms and conditions applicable to this approval may be found in the approval letter.6 Additional supporting documentation, such as the complete TFI request and risk assessment, are also in the docket. 1. Initial Conditions Prior to the distribution and/or use of phosphogypsum for any government road project, the owner or operator of the stack from which phosphogypsum is to be distributed or the governmental entity responsible for building and maintaining the road, as appropriate, must submit to the Agency all information required by 40 CFR 61.206(b), as more specifically described in the approval letter. Conditions 7 2. Other Subsequent to the provision of the initial required information to EPA, phosphogypsum may be used in government road projects in accordance with additional conditions, as stated in the approval letter, including, for example, conditions related to: 6 Letter from Andrew Wheeler, Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, to Corey Rosenbusch, President and CEO, The Fertilizer Institute, Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0442. 7 In addition to the information required by 40 CFR 61.206(b), as noted in connection with the ‘‘Initial Conditions,’’ the ‘‘Other Conditions’’ include conditions associated with the requirements of 40 CFR 61.206(d) and 61.207– 61.209; conditions inherent in the nature of or limitations or assumptions associated with TFI’s request; and conditions imposed under the EPA’s authority and discretion under 40 CFR 61.206(e). The EPA believes that these conditions are either required by 40 CFR part 61, subpart R or are reasonably appropriate to help provide continued assurance that the use is at least as protective as disposal of phosphogypsum in stacks and will ensure that the removal of phosphogypsum from stacks and use in government road projects will be consistent with TFI’s request and will occur with public notice and appropriate information availability. PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Continued control, maintenance, and use of the road; • Sampling, certification, and recordkeeping requirements in 40 CFR 61.206(d) and 61.207 through 61.209; • Construction of the road consistent with the assumptions, scenarios, limitations, and parameters analyzed in TFI’s risk assessment, including an average radium content of no more than 35 pCi/g, no more than 2.25% PG by weight in surface pavement and no more than 50% PG by weight in the road base; and • Notification and availability of information for the public and road construction workers on the use of phosphogypsum in the road project. Any use of phosphogypsum not consistent with the terms and conditions and any other limitations set forth in this approval shall be construed as unauthorized distribution of phosphogypsum and may constitute a violation of or noncompliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart R. This approval is pursuant to Subpart R promulgated under the authority of the Clean Air Act. This approval does not relieve TFI, phosphogypsum stack owners or operators or resellers, retailers, distributors, or end users or other entities handling, processing or using phosphogypsum of responsibility to comply with other applicable laws and regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Executive Summary A. What action is the Agency taking? This document provides the receipt and status reports for the period from 09/01/2020 to 09/30/2020. The Agency is providing notice of receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test information); an exemption application under 40 CFR VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Oct 19, 2020 Jkt 253001 part 725 (Biotech exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently concluded review. EPA is also providing information on its website about cases reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ MCAN notices on its website at: https:// www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a weekly basis. B. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a chemical substance may be either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a ‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new chemical substance,’’ while a chemical substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https:// www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3). TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME.

C. Does this action apply to me? This action provides information that is directed to the public in general. D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork burdens? No. E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1. Submitting confidential business information (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. Status Reports In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In 1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal Register of May 12, 1995, (60 FR 25798) (FRL–4942–7). Since the E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1 66554 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 203 / Tuesday, October 20, 2020 / Notices passage of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ MCAN notices on its website at: https:// www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a weekly basis. III. Receipt Reports For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical substance identity. As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the information in the table is the specific information provided by the submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is generic information because the specific information provided by the submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by the letter ‘‘A’’ (e.g., P–18– 1234A). The version column designates submissions in sequence as ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, ‘‘3’’, etc. Note that in some cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data in the tables.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the 
period from 09/01/2020 to 09/30/2020. The Agency is providing notice of 
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test 
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech 
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a 
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical 
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently 
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases 
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN 
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA 
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's 
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a 
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical 
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that 
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) 
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical 
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an 
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more 
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new 
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to 
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for 
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by 
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate, 
before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk 
determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and 
take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon 
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or 
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a 
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for 
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture, 
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical 
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the 
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. 
For more information about the requirements applicable to a new 
chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to 
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice 
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test 
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech 
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs 
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report 
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or 
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in 
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork 
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (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. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the 
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In 
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information 
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such 
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal 
Register of May 12, 1995, (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the

[[Page 66554]]

passage of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest 
in information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, 
in particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In 
an effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of 
this information, and the general public, to comply with the 
requirements of TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the 
process and make it more timely, EPA is providing information on its 
website about cases reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the 
section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of 
receipt, the final EPA determination on the notice, and the effective 
date of EPA's determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website 
at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is 
updated on a weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA 
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the 
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the 
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number 
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an 
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was 
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting 
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses 
identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical 
substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the 
information in the table is the specific information provided by the 
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is 
generic information because the specific information provided by the 
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions 
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are 
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by 
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates 
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some 
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is 
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid 
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may 
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data 
in the tables.
