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.’’ 3. On page 28597, in the first and 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:19 Jun 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 state based on data provided by Michigan and New Jersey.’’ B.

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:
    [cir] The chemical substance or significant new use presents an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
    [cir] 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;
    [cir] 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;
    [cir] The chemical substance is or will be produced in substantial 
quantities, and such substance either enters or may

[[Page 33283]]

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
    [cir] 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

significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs, 
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
    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 notwithstanding 
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.
