requirements. States and tribes must
evaluate their programs annually and
submit the results in a report to EPA.
EPA’s assumption regulations at 40 CFR
233.52 establish minimum requirements
for the annual report.
The information included in the state
or tribe’s assumption request and the
information included in a permit
application is made available for public
review and comment. The information
included in the annual report to EPA is
made available to the public. EPA does
not make any assurances of
confidentiality for this information.’’

second columns, the paragraphs with
the italicized headings: ‘‘Estimated
number of respondents:’’, ’’ Total
estimated burden:’’, ‘‘Total estimated
cost:’’, and ‘‘Changes in estimates:’’ are
corrected to read as follows:
‘‘Estimated number of respondents:
Two states to request program
assumption; 11,278 permit applicants;
and five state annual reports.’’
‘‘Total estimated burden: 218,880
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).’’
‘‘Total estimated cost: Costs to states
for assumed section 404 permit
programs will vary widely by state and
permit; however, the total estimated
costs for five programs is $7,183,445
and costs to permittees in state-assumed
programs is $1,900,236. There are $0
capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
Changes in estimates: There is an
increase of 89,920 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. There are several reasons for this
increase: (1) On December 17, 2020,
Florida assumed the program; (2) a
small increase in the estimate of hours
required to assume a program based on
information provided by Michigan and
New Jersey, the two states that were
approved by EPA to administer a state
dredge and fill program at the time of
the 60 day notice; (3) EPA’s new
interpretation regarding its obligation to
conduct consultation under the
Endangered Species Act and the
National Historic Properties Act when
considering requests from States and
Tribes to assume the program; (4) the
burden to state permittees has been
included; and (5) a small increase in the
estimated hours for permit review by
Michigan and New Jersey, for compiling
the annual report. EPA has reduced its
estimate for the number of permits per

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA) requires EPA to publish in
the Federal Register a statement of its
findings after its review of certain TSCA
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. This document presents
statements of findings made by EPA on
such submissions during the period
from April 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021.

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 April 1, 2021 to
April 30, 2021.
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:
Æ The chemical substance or
significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment;
Æ 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;
Æ 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;
Æ The chemical substance is or will
be produced in substantial quantities,
and such substance either enters or may

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 119 / Thursday, June 24, 2021 / Notices
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
Æ 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 a TSCA section 5(a) notice
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 of the new
chemical substance or before 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

potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
