before electing to employ any
alternative method.
III. Approved Alternative Test Methods
and Modifications To Test Methods
This notice specifies four broadly
applicable alternative test methods that
the EPA approved between January 1,
2020, and December 31, 2020. The
alternative method decision letter/
memo designation numbers, test
methods affected, sources allowed to
use this alternative, and method
modifications or alternative methods
allowed are summarized in Table 1 of
this notice. A summary of approval
documents was previously made
available on our Technology Transfer
Network between January 1, 2020, and
December 31, 2020. For more detailed
information, please refer to the complete
copies of these approval documents
available at https://www.epa.gov/emc/
broadly-applicable-approvedalternative-test-methods.
As also explained in our January 30,
2007 notice, we will revisit approvals of
alternative test methods in response to
written requests or objections indicating
that a particular approved alternative
test method either should not be broadly
applicable or that its use is not
appropriate or should be limited in
some way. Any objection to a broadly
applicable alternative test method, as
well as the resolution of that objection,
will be announced at https://
www.epa.gov/emc/broadly-applicableapproved-alternative-test-methods and
in a subsequent Federal Register notice.
If we decide to retract a broadly
applicable test method, we will likely
consider the need for an appropriate
transition period for users either to
request case-by-case approval or to
transition to an approved method.
This notice also announces our
removal of ALT–109 as a broadly
applicable alternative test method from
the Broadly Applicable Approved
Alternative Test Methods web page. In
the February 10, 2016 Federal Register
notice (81 FR 7092), we announced the
approval of ALT–109 as an alternative
method that would allow the use of
digital photographs as a compliance
option for specific recordkeeping
requirements in Method 22. On
November 14, 2018, we incorporated
this compliance option into Method 22
(83 FR 56713). Therefore, ALT–109 is
no longer an alternative test method.
Dated: January 15, 2021.

Standards.

Certain New Chemicals or Significant New Uses; Statements of
Findings for August 2019
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5(g) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
requires EPA to publish in the Federal Register a statement of its
findings after its review of TSCA section 5(a) notices when EPA makes a
finding that a new chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. Such statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs),
microbial commercial activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use
notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5. This document
presents statements of findings made by EPA on TSCA section 5(a)
notices during the period from August 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019.

II. What action is the Agency taking?
This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from August 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019.
III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such 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; or
The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of TSCA section
5(a) notices (PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs) when EPA makes a finding that a
new chemical substance or significant new use is not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture or
engaging in the significant new use.
The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.
IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)
In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the
new chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment:
EPA case number assigned to the TSCA section 5(a) notice.
Chemical identity (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
Website link to EPA's decision document describing the
basis of the ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' finding
made by EPA under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C).
