SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the regulations at 40
CFR 166.24(a)(1), EPA is soliciting
public comment before making the
decision whether or not to grant the
exemption.
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are an agricultural
producer, food manufacturer, or
pesticide manufacturer. 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:
• Crop production (NAICS code 111).
• Animal production (NAICS code
112).
• Food manufacturing (NAICS code
311).
• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS
code 32532).
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly
mark the part or all of the information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Under section 18 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the
discretion of the EPA Administrator, a
Federal or State agency may be
exempted from any provision of FIFRA
if the EPA Administrator determines
that emergency conditions exist which
require the exemption. The Washington
State Department of Agriculture
(WSDA) has requested the EPA
Administrator to issue a specific
exemption for the use of broflanilide
(CAS No. 1207727–04–5) as a seed
treatment on spring wheat to control
wireworms. Information in accordance
with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as
part of this request.
As part of this request, the applicant
stated that the currently registered
products do not provide adequate
control of wireworms, which are having
a devastating and severe impact upon
wheat fields and growers, especially in
the dryland wheat growing counties of
eastern Washington. Approximately
1,029 lbs. of the active ingredient
broflanilide would be needed for this
PO 00000

emergency exemption program.
Additional information regarding the
critical need for the emergency and the
proposed use pattern can be found in
the section 18 emergency exemption
application request at https://
www.regulations.gov, under the docket
number EPA–HQ–OPP–2020–0570.
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. The regulations governing FIFRA
section 18 emergency exemptions
require publication of a notice of receipt
of an application for an emergency
exemption if it proposes the use of a
new chemical which has not been
registered by EPA. Broflanilide is not
currently registered.
This notice provides an opportunity
for public comment on this application.
The Agency will review and consider all
comments received during the comment
period in determining whether to issue
the specific exemption requested by
WSDA.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: November 23, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. What action is the Agency taking?
This document provides the receipt
and status reports for the period from
10/01/2020 to 10/31/2020. The Agency
is providing notice of receipt of PMNs,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:35 Dec 14, 2020
Jkt 253001
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-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
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
81201
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
E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM
15DEN1
81202
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 241 / Tuesday, December 15, 2020 / Notices
an opportunity to comment (See the
Federal Register of May 12, 1995, (60
FR 25798) (FRL–4942–7). Since the
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.

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement
agreement; request for public comment.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Administrator’s October 16, 2017,
Directive Promoting Transparency and
Public Participation in Consent Decrees
and Settlement Agreements, notice is
hereby given of a proposed settlement
agreement in the five consolidated
petitions for review in Center for
Biological Diversity, et al. v. EPA (D.C.
Cir. Nos. 15–1054, 15–1176, 15–1389,
15–1462 and 16–1351) in the United
States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia. In 2015 and 2016, the
Center for Biological Diversity and other
Petitioners (collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’)
filed five petitions for review of
registrations containing five active
ingredients: flupyradifurone,
bicyclopyrone, benzovindiflupyr,
cuprous iodide, and haluaxifen-methyl.
The five petitions for review alleged that
EPA violated the Endangered Species
Act (‘‘ESA’’) by failing to consult on the
effects to listed species when registering
products containing the five new active
ingredients. The Court consolidated the
cases on June 20, 2018. The registrants
for each active ingredient other than
cuprous iodide sought and were granted
intervention.
EPA, the Petitioners and the
Defendant-Intervenors (collectively,
‘‘the Parties’’) are proposing to enter
into an out-of-court settlement
agreement, which, among other things,
calls for the Parties to file a Joint Motion
for Order on Consent requesting that the
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the
Proposed Settlement Agreement
In 2015 and 2016, Petitioners filed
five petitions for review in the Court of
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit as EPA
issued registrations for five new active
ingredients, namely flupyradifurone,
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
81205
bicyclopyrone, benzovindiflupyr,
cuprous iodide, and halauxifen-methyl.
The petitions for review alleged that
EPA violated Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA
by failing to consult on the effects to
listed species of the five new active
ingredients. The Court consolidated the
cases on June 20, 2018. The registrants
for each active ingredient other than
cuprous iodide sought and were granted
intervention.
The Parties have been engaged in
settlement negotiations to reach an
agreement in this case. The proposed
settlement agreement between the
Parties calls for, among other things, the
Parties to file a Joint Motion for Order
on Consent requesting that the Court
order EPA to: (1) Complete a final
effects determination for any use of
cuprous iodide that is approved for sale
and distribution by August 13, 2021; (2)
complete final Biological Evaluations
(BEs) for two of the other active
ingredients by September 30, 2025 and
the remaining two active ingredients by
September 30, 2027; and (3) initiate
consultation as appropriate based on the
outcome of the BEs.
Similar to the settlement agreement in
CBD, et al. v. EPA, et al. (Case No. CV–
11–0293–JCS (N.D. Cal.)), this proposed
settlement agreement provides for the
possibility of extending these dates if
specific events occur, such as an
extension of a comment period.
In addition to the commitments
above, the settlement agreement
provides that within three months of
issuance of draft BEs or no later than
December of 2024 and 2026, the Parties
will meet and discuss potential interim
measures. The settlement agreement
also provides that EPA will maintain a
web page that includes the settlement
agreement, associated court orders, and
a link to an independent 3rd-party web
page hosted, maintained, and funded by
Defendant-Intervenors.
For a period of thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this
notice, the Agency will accept written
comments relating to the proposed
settlement agreement from persons who
are not named as parties to the litigation
in question. EPA may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed
settlement if the comments disclose
facts or considerations that indicate that
such consent is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent
with the requirements of the ESA or the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act. Unless EPA
determines that consent should be
withdrawn, the terms of the proposed
settlement agreement will be affirmed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. What action is the Agency taking?
This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 10/01/2020 to 10/31/2020. 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
[[Page 81202]]
an opportunity to comment (See the Federal Register of May 12, 1995,
(60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the 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.
