XII. How will unchanged authorities be
delegated to DEQ in the future?
Consistent with the EPA regulations
and guidance,3 if this NESHAP
delegation update is finalized as
proposed, DEQ will only need to
periodically submit a written request to
EPA, Region 6, to update its approval of
the delegation of authority to implement
and enforce new or revised part 63
standards through its approved Title V
permitting program. In such request,
DEQ will reference the previous upfront approval demonstration, reaffirm
that it still meets the up-front approval
criteria, and identify the new or revised
part 63 standards that will be delegated
upon incorporation into Title V permits.
The EPA will respond in writing to
the request and take action in the
Federal Register to inform the public
and affected sources of the EPA’s
decision, indicate where source
notifications and reports should be sent,
and to update 40 CFR 63.99(a)(4),
amending the Arkansas table of
delegated part 63 standards being
implemented and enforced by DEQ.
XIII. Proposed Action
In this action, because DEQ’s request
meets all requirements of CAA section
112(l) and 40 CFR 63.91, the EPA is
proposing to approve their request for
the updated delegation and the
continued approval of the mechanism
used to implement and enforce certain
part 63 standards applicable to sources
required to obtain a Title V (part 70)
permit, as they existed though July 31,
2020.
As for the part 63 standards which
have not yet been incorporated into
permits, DEQ’s authority to implement
and enforce new and revised part 63
standards under this delegation
becomes effective when this proposed
action is finalized and after the issuance
of the appropriate federally enforceable
permit containing those standards.
DEQ’s authority to implement and
enforce new and revised part 63
standards under this delegation will
become effective according to the
procedures outlined in the MOA, a copy
of which is included in the docket for
this rulemaking.
Nothing in this action should be
construed as permitting, allowing, or
establishing a precedent for any future
request for revision to the approved

delegation. Each request for revision to
the approved delegation shall be
considered separately in light of specific
technical, economic, and environmental
factors and in relation to relevant
statutory and regulatory requirements.
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator
has the authority to approve section
112(l) submissions that comply with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. In reviewing
section 112(l) submissions, the EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria and
objectives of the CAA and of the EPA’s
implementing regulations. Accordingly,
this proposed action would merely
approve the State’s request as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide the EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

Significant New Use Rules on Certain
Chemical Substances (21–2.5e)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is proposing significant
new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) for
chemical substances that were the
subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs) and are also subject to Orders
issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The
SNURs require persons who intend to
manufacture (defined by statute to
include import) or process any of these
chemical substances for an activity that
is proposed as a significant new use by
this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days
before commencing that activity. The
required notification initiates EPA’s
evaluation of the use, under the
conditions of use for that chemical
substance, within the applicable review
period. Persons may not commence
manufacture or processing for the
significant new use until EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made
an appropriate determination on the
notice, and has taken such actions as are
required by that determination.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before December 27, 2021.

I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you manufacture, process,
or use the chemical substances
contained in this proposed rule. 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:
• Manufacturers or processors of one
or more subject chemical substances
(NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g.,
chemical manufacturing and petroleum
refineries.
This action may also affect certain
entities through pre-existing import
certification and export notification
rules under TSCA. Chemical importers
are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15
U.S.C. 2612) import provisions
promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through
12.127 and 19 CFR 127.28. Chemical
importers must certify that the shipment
of the chemical substance complies with
all applicable rules and Orders under
TSCA, which would include the SNUR
requirements should these proposed
rules be finalized. The EPA policy in
support of import certification appears
at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In
addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20,
any persons who export or intend to
export a chemical substance that is the
subject of this proposed rule on or after
December 27, 2021 are subject to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Nov 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
export notification provisions of TSCA
section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40
CFR 721.20), and must comply with the
export notification requirements in 40
CFR part 707, subpart D.
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting 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/
commenting-epa-dockets.
II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is proposing these SNURs under
TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C.
2604(a)(2)) for certain chemical
substances that were the subject of
PMNs. These proposed SNURs would
require persons to notify EPA at least 90
days before commencing the
manufacture or processing of any of
these chemical substances for an
activity proposed as a significant new
use. Receipt of such notices would
allow EPA to assess risks and, if
appropriate, to regulate the significant
new use before it may occur.
The docket for these proposed
SNURs, identified as docket ID number
EPA–HQ–OPPT–2021–0030, includes
information considered by the Agency
in developing these proposed SNURs.
B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C.
2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determine
that a use of a chemical substance is a
‘‘significant new use.’’ EPA must make
this determination by rule after
considering all relevant factors,
including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2)
factors listed in Unit III.
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
C. Applicability of General Provisions
General provisions for SNURs appear
in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These
provisions describe persons subject to
the rule, recordkeeping requirements,
exemptions to reporting requirements,
and applicability of the rule to uses
occurring before the effective date of the
rule. Provisions relating to user fees
appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to
40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to
these SNURs must comply with the
same significant new use notice (SNUN)
requirements and EPA regulatory
procedures as submitters of PMNs under
TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). These
requirements include the information
submission requirements of TSCA
sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the
exemptions authorized by TSCA
sections 5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5),
and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720.
Once EPA receives a SNUN and before
the manufacture or processing for the
significant new use can commence, EPA
must either determine that the use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury under the conditions of use for
the chemical substance or take such
regulatory action as is associated with
an alternative determination. If EPA
determines that the use is not likely to
present an unreasonable risk, EPA is
required under TSCA section 5(g) to
make public, and submit for publication
in the Federal Register, a statement of
EPA’s findings.
III. Significant New Use Determination
TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA’s
determination that a use of a chemical
substance is a significant new use must
be made after consideration of all
relevant factors, including:
• The projected volume of
manufacturing and processing of a
chemical substance.
• The extent to which a use changes
the type or form of exposure of human
beings or the environment to a chemical
substance.
• The extent to which a use increases
the magnitude and duration of exposure
of human beings or the environment to
a chemical substance.
• The reasonably anticipated manner
and methods of manufacturing,
processing, distribution in commerce,
and disposal of a chemical substance.
In determining what would constitute
a significant new use for the chemical
substances that are the subject of these
SNURs, EPA considered relevant
information about the toxicity of the
chemical substances, potential human
exposures and environmental releases
that may be associated with possible
uses of these chemical substances, in
E:\FR\FM\24NOP1.SGM
24NOP1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 24, 2021 / Proposed Rules
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
the context of the four TSCA section
5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit.
The proposed rules include PMN
substances that are subject to Orders
issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as
required by the determinations made
under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). The
TSCA Orders require protective
measures to limit exposures or
otherwise mitigate the potential
unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs
identify significant new uses as any
manufacturing, processing, use,
distribution in commerce, or disposal
that does not conform to the restrictions
imposed by the underlying TSCA
Orders, consistent with TSCA section
5(f)(4).
Where EPA determined that the PMN
substance may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health via
inhalation exposure, the underlying
TSCA Order usually requires that
potentially exposed employees wear
specified respirators unless actual
measurements of the workplace air
show that air-borne concentrations of
the PMN substance are below a New
Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL), and
includes requirements addressing
performance criteria for sampling and
analytical methods, periodic
monitoring, respiratory protection, and
recordkeeping. No comparable NCEL
provisions currently exist in 40 CFR
part 721, subpart B, for SNURs.
Therefore, for these cases, the
individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721,
subpart E, will state that persons subject
to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs
as an alternative to the 40 CFR 721.63
respirator requirements may request to
do so under 40 CFR 721.30. EPA expects
that persons whose 40 CFR 721.30
requests to use the NCELs approach for
SNURs that are approved by EPA will
be required to comply with NCELs
provisions that are comparable to those
contained in the corresponding TSCA
Order for the same chemical substance.
IV. Substances Subject to This Proposed
Rule
EPA is proposing significant new use
and recordkeeping requirements for
certain chemical substances in 40 CFR
part 721, subpart E. In this unit, EPA
provides the following information for
each chemical substance that is
identified in this unit as subject to this
proposed rule:
• PMN number.
• Chemical name (generic name, if
the specific name is claimed as CBI).
• Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry number (if assigned for nonconfidential chemical identities).
• Effective date of and basis for the
TSCA Order.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Nov 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
• Potentially Useful Information.
• CFR citation assigned in the
regulatory text section of the proposed
rule.
The chemicals subject to these
proposed SNURs are as follows:
PMN Numbers: P–09–477 and P–09–485.
Chemical Names: 1Butanesulfonamide, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4nonafluoro- (P–09–477) and 1butanesulfonamide, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4nonafluoro-N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)(P–09–485).
CAS Numbers: 30334–69–1 (P–09–
477) and 34455–00–0 (P–09–485).
Effective Date of TSCA Order:
November 5, 2009.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state
that the generic (non-confidential) use
of the substances will be as fluorinated
intermediates. EPA identified concerns
for the potential degradation products of
the PMN substances. Based on their
physical/chemical and environmental
fate properties, these degradation
products arepotentially persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemicals (as described in the New
Chemical Program’s PBT category at 64
FR 60194; November 1999). EPA
estimates that the degradation products
of the PMN substances will persist in
the environment for more than 6 months
and estimates a bioaccumulation factor
of greater than or equal to 1,000. Based
on the physical/chemical properties of
the PMN substances and comparison to
analogous chemical substances, EPA
hasidentified concerns for lung, blood,
and spleen effects for P–09–477 and
lung surfactancy, eye irritation, skin
irritation, irritation to mucous
membranes, and lung irritation for P–
09–485. Based on available data on
analogs of the potential degradation
products of the PMN substances, EPA
has identified concerns for liver, blood,
and kidney toxicity, developmental
toxicity, and immunotoxicity. Based on
comparison to analogous chemical
substances and available data on
analogs of the potential degradation
products, EPA has also identified
concerns for aquatic toxicity.
In 2009, EPA issued an Order for P–
09–477 and P–09–485 under TSCA
sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i), 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I),
and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a finding
that in the absence of sufficient
information to permit a reasoned
evaluation, the substances may present
an unreasonable risk of injury to human
health or the environment and that the
substances will be produced in
substantial quantities and may be
anticipated to enter the environment in
substantial quantities and there may be
significant (or substantial) exposures to
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4702

the substances. The Order requires
protective measures to limit exposures
or otherwise mitigate the potential
unreasonable risk. Specifically, the
Order prohibits the PMN submitter from
any predictable or purposeful release of
the PMN substances or any waste stream
from manufacturing, processing, and
use containing the PMN substances into
the waters of the United States.
The protective measures in the Order
only apply to the PMN submitter who
is subject to the Order. One of the
purposes of a SNUR is to extend
protective measures to other
manufacturers and processors. EPA did
not issue SNURs following the Order in
2009 to apply to other manufacturers
and processors. EPA is now proposing
these SNURs to limit environmental
releases for all other manufacturers and
processors. EPA is proposing to
designate as a significant new use any
release to water of waste streams from
manufacture, processing, or use
containing the substances.
As further discussed in Unit VI., EPA
must determine that a use of a chemical
substance is not ongoing in order to
designate that use as a significant new
use. EPA has received no information
(e.g., notification under the Chemical
Data Reporting rule, TSCA notices,
other required reporting) which
indicates that any person other than the
PMN submitter is engaged in the
manufacture or processing of these
substances. Because the PMN submitter
is subject to the terms of the Order and
no other manufacturers or processors
have been identified, EPA concludes
that the significant new use is not
ongoing.
EPA recognizes that manufacturers
and processors that would be subject to
the proposed SNURs could request
under § 721.30 to employ alternative
measures to control environmental
release of these substances as described
in a compliance monitoring plan that
provides substantially the same degree
of protection as the existing consent
order. EPA has identified the following
information that at a minimum would
be useful to address the requirements of
§ 721.30(b)(4), (5), and (6):
• Description of the pretreatment
process and any treatment technologies
employed;
• Description of the analytical
method used (and the non-detect limit
of method);
• Sampling locations, frequency, QA/
QC for handling and transport;
• Monitoring location, frequency, and
QA/QC if non-detect limit exceeded;
and
• Copy of the facility’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

EPA will review this and other
relevant information when making an
equivalency determination under
§ 721.30; however, submission of this
information does not guarantee approval
of the request.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA
has determined that certain information
may be potentially useful in support of
a request by the PMN submitter to
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer
or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that will
be designated by this SNUR. EPA has
determined that the results of physical/
chemical properties, environmental fate,
aquatic toxicity, reproductive/
developmental toxicity, and specific
target organ toxicity testing may be
potentially useful to characterize the
human health and environmental effects
of the PMN substances. Although the
Order does not require these tests, the
Order’s restrictions remain in effect
until the Order is modified or revoked
by EPA based on submission of this or
other relevant information.
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11635 (P–
09–477) and 40 CFR 721.11636 (P–09–
485).
PMN Number: P–18–65
Chemical Name: 1,3-Propanediamine,
N1,N1-dimethyl-N3-(2,2,6,6tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)-.
CAS Number: 78014–16–1.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: October
7, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states
that the use of the substance will be as
an absorption agent and lab reagent.
Based on submitted test data on the
PMN substance, EPA has identified
concerns for irritation/corrosion to the
eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, acute
oral toxicity, and aspiration hazard.
Based on a structural alert for nitrogen
heterocycles, EPA has also identified
concerns for systemic and
developmental toxicity. Based on
comparison to analogous aliphatic
amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic
organisms may occur at concentrations
that exceed 431 ppb. The Order was
issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I),
based on a finding that in the absence
of sufficient information to permit a
reasoned evaluation, the substance may
present an unreasonable risk of injury to
human health or the environment. The
Order was also issued under TSCA
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(II) and
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a finding that
the substance is expected to be
produced in substantial quantities, and
that there may be significant or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Nov 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
substantial human exposure to the
substance, or that the substance may
enter the environment in substantial
quantities. To protect against these
risks, the Order requires:
• Use of the PMN substance only as
an absorption agent or laboratory
reagent;
• Unloading of the PMN substance
only under a gas (e.g., nitrogen) blanket;
• No domestic manufacture of the
PMN substance (i.e., import only);
• Processing of the PMN substance
only as described in the PMN or with
additional steps that would reduce air
emission; and
• No release of the PMN substance
into the waters of the United States.
The proposed SNUR would designate
as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence
of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA
has determined that certain information
may be potentially useful in support of
a request by the PMN submitter to
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer
or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that will

determined that the results of
reproductive toxicity, developmental
effects, and specific target organ toxicity
testing may be potentially useful to
characterize the health effects of the
PMN substance. Although the Order

Order is modified or revoked by EPA
based on submission of this or other
relevant information.

PMN Number: P–18–303
Chemical Name: 2-Propenoic acid,
polymer with aliphatic cyclic epoxide
(generic).
CAS Number: Not available.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: July 30,
2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states
that the generic (non-confidential) use
of the substance will be as an ultraviolet
(UV) curable oligomer. Based on
comparison to analogous 2-ethylhexyl
acrylates and structural alerts for
acrylates, EPA has identified concerns
for eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Based on data for acrylic acid,
EPA has identified concerns for
corrosion to the eye and skin. Based on
comparison to analogous acrylates/
methacrylates, EPA predicts toxicity to
aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 2 ppb. The
Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I),
based on a finding that in the absence
of sufficient information to permit a
reasoned evaluation, the substance may

present an unreasonable risk to human
health or the environment. To protect
against these risks, the Order requires:
• No release of the PMN substance
into the waters of the United States.
The proposed SNUR would designate
as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence
of this protective measure.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA
has determined that certain information
may be potentially useful in support of

Effective Date of TSCA Order:
February 2, 2021.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states
that the use of the substance will be as
a UV curing agent in highly pigmented
inks, photo-resists, and masks. Based on
the physical/chemical properties of the
PMN substance and test data on
structurally similar substances, the PMN
substance is a potentially persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemical, as described in EPA’s Policy
Statement on PBT New Chemical
Substances in the Federal Register of
November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194) (FRL–
6097–7). EPA estimates that the PMN
substance will persist in the
environment for more than 2 months
and estimates a bioaccumulation factor
of greater than or equal to 1,000. Based
on comparison to structurally analogous
chemical substances, EPA has identified
concerns for reproductive and
developmental effects, eye irritation,
and dermal sensitization. Based on
comparison to analogous aliphatic
amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic
organisms may occur at concentrations
that exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued
under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that
in the absence of sufficient information
to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health and the

environment. To protect against these
risks, the Order requires:
• No release of the PMN substance to
the waters of the United States.
The proposed SNUR would designate
as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence
of this protective measure.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA
has determined that certain information
may be potentially useful in support of
a request by the PMN submitter to
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer
or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that will

Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state
that the generic (non-confidential) use
of the PMN substances will be for
photolithography. Based on the
physical/chemical properties of the
PMN substances and test data on
structurally similar substances, the PMN
substances are potentially persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemicals, as described in EPA’s Policy
Statement on PBT New Chemical
Substances in the Federal Register of
November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194) (FRL–
6097–7). EPA estimates that the PMN
substances will persist in the
environment for more than 2 months
and estimates a bioaccumulation factor
of greater than or equal to 1,000. Based
on the photoreactivity of the PMN
substances, EPA has identified concerns
for photosensitization. Based on
comparison to analogous substances,
EPA has identified concerns for eye
corrosion, irritation, acute toxicity, liver
toxicity, and neurotoxicity. Based on

positive mutagenicity test results for
analogous chemical substances and
available data on an analog of the
confidential anion, EPA has identified
concerns for reproductive
(developmental) toxicity. EPA has also
identified concerns for lung overload by
insoluble polymers for photoacid
generators with polymeric anions that
have a molecular weight over 10,000 g/
mol. The Order was issued under TSCA
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that
in the absence of sufficient information
to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substances may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health or the
environment. To protect against these
risks, the Order requires:
• No manufacture of the PMN
substances beyond the time limits
specified in the Order without submittal
to EPA of the results of certain testing
described in the Testing section of the
Order;
• Use of personal protective
equipment where there is a potential for
dermal exposure;
• Establishment of a hazard
communication program, including
human health precautionary statements
on each label and in the SDS;
• No modification of the processing
or use of the PMN substances in any
way that generates a vapor, dust, mist,
or aerosol in a non-enclosed process;
• Use of the PMN substances only for
the confidential use allowed in the

• No domestic manufacture of the
PMN substances (i.e., import only);
• Import of the PMN substances only

Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states
that the generic (non-confidential) use
of the substance will be for froth
flotation to treat rare earth minerals and
to remove deleterious substances. Based
on comparison to structurally analogous
chemical substances, EPA has identified
concerns for aquatic toxicity, mortality,
neurotoxicity, lung histopathology,
reproductive/developmental toxicity,
and genotoxicity. Based on the test data
for the hydrolysis product, EPA has
identified dermal irritation, ocular
irritation, respiratory irritation, acute
toxicity, neurotoxicity, dermal
sensitization, lung effects, and systemic
effects. The Order was issued under
TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that
in the absence of sufficient information
to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health or the
environment. To protect against these
risks, the Order requires:
• Use of personal protective
equipment where there is a potential for
dermal exposure;
• Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator
with an APF of at least 50 to prevent
inhalation exposure where there is a
potential for inhalation exposure;
• Establishment of a hazard
communication program, including
human health precautionary statements
on each label and in the SDS;
• Use of the PMN substance only for
the confidential use allowed in the
Order;
• No domestic manufacture (i.e.,
import only); and
• No release of the PMN substance to
water.
The proposed SNUR would designate
as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence
of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA
has determined that certain information
may be potentially useful in support of
a request by the PMN submitter to
modify the Order, or if a manufacturer
or processor is considering submitting a
SNUN for a significant new use that will
be designated by this SNUR. EPA has
determined that the results of specific
target organ and aquatic toxicity testing
may be potentially useful to characterize
the health and environmental effects of
the PMN substance. Although the Order

does not require these tests, the Order’s
restrictions remain in effect until the
Order is modified or revoked by EPA
based on submission of this or other
relevant information.
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11658.
V. Rationale and Objectives of the
Proposed Rule
A. Rationale
During review of the PMNs submitted
for the chemical substances that are the
subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA
concluded that regulation was
warranted under TSCA section 5(e),
pending the development of information
sufficient to make reasoned evaluations
of the health or environmental effects of
the chemical substances. The basis for
such findings is outlined in Unit IV.
Based on these findings, TSCA section
5(e) Orders requiring the use of
appropriate exposure controls were
negotiated with the PMN submitters. As
a general matter, EPA believes it is
necessary to follow the TSCA Orders
with a SNUR that identifies the absence
of those protective measures as
significant new uses to ensure that all
manufacturers and processors—not just
the original submitter—are held to the
same standard.
B. Objectives
EPA is proposing these SNURs for
specific chemical substances which
have undergone premanufacture review
because the Agency wants:
• To identify as significant new uses
any manufacturing, processing, use,
distribution in commerce, or disposal
that does not conform to the restrictions
imposed by the underlying TSCA
Orders, consistent with TSCA section
5(f)(4).
• To have an opportunity to review
and evaluate data submitted in a SNUN
before the notice submitter begins
manufacturing or processing a listed
chemical substance for the described
significant new use.
• To be able to either determine that
the prospective manufacture or
processing is not likely to present an
unreasonable risk, or to take necessary
regulatory action associated with any
other determination, before the
described significant new use of the
chemical substance occurs.
VI. Applicability of the Proposed
Significant New Use Designation
To establish a significant new use,
EPA must determine that the use is not
ongoing. The chemical substances
subject to this proposed rule have
undergone premanufacture review. In
cases where EPA has not received a
E:\FR\FM\24NOP1.SGM
24NOP1
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
67002
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 24, 2021 / Proposed Rules
notice of commencement (NOC) and the
chemical substance has not been added
to the TSCA Inventory, no person may
commence such activities without first
submitting a PMN. Therefore, for
chemical substances for which an NOC
has not been submitted, EPA concludes
that the designated significant new uses
are not ongoing.
When chemical substances identified
in this proposed rule are added to the
TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that,
before the rule is effective, other persons
might engage in a use that has been
identified as a significant new use.
However, TSCA Orders have been
issued for these chemical substances,
and the PMN submitters are prohibited
by the TSCA Orders from undertaking
activities which would be designated as
significant new uses. The identities of
many of the chemical substances subject
to this proposed rule have been claimed
as confidential per 40 CFR 720.85.
Based on this, the Agency believes that
it is highly unlikely that any of the
significant new uses described in the
regulatory text of this proposed rule are
ongoing.
Therefore, EPA designates November
24, 2021 as the cutoff date for
determining whether the new use is
ongoing. The objective of EPA’s
approach is to ensure that a person
cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating a
significant new use before the effective
date of the final rule.
In the unlikely event that a person
began commercial manufacture or
processing of the chemical substances
for a significant new use identified as of
the above mentioned date, that person
would have to cease any such activity
upon the effective date of the final rule.
To resume their activities, these persons
would have to first comply with all
applicable SNUR notification
requirements and wait until EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made
an appropriate determination on the
notice, and has taken such actions as are
required with that determination.
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical
substance does not signify that the
chemical substance is listed on the
TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory
(TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to
determine if a chemical substance is on
the TSCA Inventory is available on the
internet at https://www.epa.gov/tscainventory.
VII. Development and Submission of
Information
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5
does not require developing any
particular new information (e.g.,
generating test data) before submission
of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Nov 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
person is required to submit information
for a chemical substance pursuant to a
rule, TSCA Order or consent agreement
under TSCA section 4, then TSCA
section 5(b)(1)(A) requires such
information to be submitted to EPA at
the time of submission of the SNUN.
In the absence of a rule, TSCA Order,
or consent agreement under TSCA
section 4 covering the chemical
substance, persons are required only to
submit information in their possession
or control and to describe any other
information known or reasonably
ascertainable (see 40 CFR 720.50).
However, upon review of PMNs and
SNUNs, the Agency has the authority to
require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists
potentially useful information for the
SNURs listed in this document.
Descriptions of this information is
provided for informational purposes.
The potentially useful information
identified in Unit IV. will be useful to
EPA’s evaluation in the event that
someone submits a SNUN for the
significant new use.
EPA strongly encourages persons,
before performing any testing, to consult
with the Agency. Furthermore, pursuant
to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to
reduction of testing in vertebrate
animals, EPA encourages dialog with
the Agency on the use of alternative test
methods and strategies (also called New
Approach Methodologies, or NAMs), if
available, to generate the recommended
test data. EPA encourages dialog with
Agency representatives to help
determine how best the submitter can
meet both the data needs and the
objective of TSCA section 4(h). For more
information on alternative test methods
and strategies to reduce vertebrate
animal testing, visit https://
www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managingchemicals-under-tsca/alternative-testmethods-and-strategies-reduce.
In some of the TSCA Orders for the
chemical substances identified in this
rule, EPA has established time limits in
view of the lack of data on the potential
health and environmental risks that may
be posed by the significant new uses or
increased exposure to the chemical
substances. These limits cannot be
exceeded unless the PMN submitter first
submits the results of specified tests that
would permit a reasoned evaluation of
the potential risks posed by these
chemical substances. The SNURs
contain the same time limits as the
TSCA Orders. Exceeding these
production limits is defined as a
significant new use. Persons who intend
to exceed the time limit must notify the
Agency by submitting a SNUN at least
90 days in advance of commencement of
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
non-exempt commercial manufacture or
processing.
Any request by EPA for the triggered
and pended testing described in the
TSCA Orders was made based on EPA’s
consideration of available screeninglevel data, if any, as well as other
available information on appropriate
testing for the PMN substances. Further,
any such testing request on the part of
EPA that includes testing on vertebrates
was made after consideration of
available toxicity information,
computational toxicology and
bioinformatics, and high-throughput
screening methods and their prediction
models.
The potentially useful information
listed in Unit IV. may not be the only
means of addressing the potential risks
of the chemical substance. However,
submitting a SNUN without any test
data or other information may increase
the likelihood that EPA will take action
under TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f). EPA
recommends that potential SNUN
submitters contact EPA early enough so
that they will be able to conduct the
appropriate tests.
SNUN submitters should be aware
that EPA will be better able to evaluate
SNUNs which provide detailed
information on the following:
• Human exposure and
environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the
chemical substances.
• Information on risks posed by the
chemical substances compared to risks
posed by potential substitutes.
VIII. SNUN Submissions
According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons
submitting a SNUN must comply with
the same notification requirements and
EPA regulatory procedures as persons
submitting a PMN, including
submission of test data on health and
environmental effects as described in 40
CFR 720.50. SNUNs must be submitted
on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated
using e-PMN software, and submitted to
the Agency in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 40 CFR 720.40.
E–PMN software is available
electronically at https://www.epa.gov/
reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxicsubstances-control-act-tsca.
IX. Economic Analysis
EPA has evaluated the potential costs
of establishing SNUN requirements for
potential manufacturers and processors
of the chemical substances subject to
this proposed rule. EPA’s complete
economic analysis is available in the
docket for this rulemaking.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations
and Regulatory Review
This action proposes to establish
SNURs for several new chemical
substances that were the subject of
PMNs. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types
of actions from review under Executive
Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
that requires OMB approval under PRA,
unless it has been approved by OMB
and displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
The information collection activities
associated with SNURs have already
been approved by OMB under the PRA
and assigned OMB control number
2070–0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This
proposed rule does not contain any
burden requiring additional OMB
approval. If an entity were to submit a
SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden
is estimated to average between 30 and
170 hours per response. This burden
estimate includes the time needed to
review instructions, search existing data
sources, gather and maintain the data
needed, and complete, review, and
submit the required SNUN.
Send any comments about the
accuracy of the burden estimate, and
any suggested methods for minimizing
respondent burden, including using
automated collection techniques, to the
Director, Regulatory Support Division,
Office of Mission Support (2822T),
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20460–0001. Please remember to
include the OMB control number in any
correspondence, but do not submit any
completed forms to this address.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Pursuant to the RFA section 605(b) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Nov 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
certifies that promulgation of these
SNURs would not have a significant
adverse economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The requirement to submit a SNUN
applies to any person (including small
or large entities) who intends to engage
in any activity described in the final
rule as a ‘‘significant new use.’’ Because
these uses are ‘‘new,’’ based on all
information currently available to EPA,
it appears that no small or large entities
presently engage in such activities. A
SNUR requires that any person who
intends to engage in such activity in the
future must first notify EPA by
submitting a SNUN. EPA’s experience to
date is that, in response to the
promulgation of SNURs covering over
1,000 chemicals, the Agency receives
only a small number of notices per year.
For example, the number of SNUNs
received was seven in Federal fiscal
year (FY) 2013, 13 in FY2014, six in
FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017,
and 18 in FY2018 and only a fraction of
these were from small businesses. In
addition, the Agency currently offers
relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from
$16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and
recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying
small firms. Therefore, the potential
economic impacts of complying with
this proposed SNUR are not expected to
be significant or adversely impact a
substantial number of small entities. In
a SNUR that published in the Federal
Register of June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684)
(FRL–5597–1), the Agency presented its
general determination that final SNURs
are not expected to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, which was
provided to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)
Based on EPA’s experience with
proposing and finalizing SNURs, State,
local, and Tribal governments have not
been impacted by these rulemakings,
and EPA does not have any reasons to
believe that any State, local, or Tribal
government will be impacted by this
action. As such, EPA has determined
that this proposed rule would not
impose any enforceable duty, contain
any unfunded mandate, or otherwise
have any effect on small governments
subject to the requirements of UMRA
sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C.
1501 et seq.).

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (21-
2.5e)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances that were
the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to
Orders issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons who
intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process
any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a
significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's
evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical
substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may not
commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until
EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate
determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required
by that determination.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 27, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0030, through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture,
process, or use the chemical substances contained in this proposed
rule. 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:
Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject
chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing
import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import
provisions promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR
127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of the
chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and Orders under
TSCA, which would include the SNUR requirements should these proposed
rules be finalized. The EPA policy in support of import certification
appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR
721.20, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance
that is the subject of this proposed rule on or after December 27, 2021
are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b)
(15 U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply with the
export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting 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/commenting-epa-dockets.
II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is proposing these SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C.
2604(a)(2)) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of
PMNs. These proposed SNURs would require persons to notify EPA at least
90 days before commencing the manufacture or processing of any of these
chemical substances for an activity proposed as a significant new use.
Receipt of such notices would allow EPA to assess risks and, if
appropriate, to regulate the significant new use before it may occur.
The docket for these proposed SNURs, identified as docket ID number
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0030, includes information considered by the Agency in
developing these proposed SNURs.
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' EPA must make this determination by rule after considering all
relevant factors, including the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors
listed in Unit III.
C. Applicability of General Provisions
General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A.
These provisions describe persons subject to the rule, recordkeeping
requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability
of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule.
Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to
40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the
same significant new use notice (SNUN) requirements and EPA regulatory
procedures as submitters of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). These
requirements include the information submission requirements of TSCA
sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA sections
5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR part
720. Once EPA receives a SNUN and before the manufacture or processing
for the significant new use can commence, EPA must either determine
that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury
under the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take such
regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination.
If EPA determines that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable
risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and
submit for publication in the Federal Register, a statement of EPA's
findings.
III. Significant New Use Determination
TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA's determination that a use of
a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after
consideration of all relevant factors, including:
The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a
chemical substance.
The extent to which a use changes the type or form of
exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and
duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical
substance.
The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a
chemical substance.
In determining what would constitute a significant new use for the
chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered
relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances,
potential human exposures and environmental releases that may be
associated with possible uses of these chemical substances, in
[[Page 66995]]
the context of the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this
unit.
The proposed rules include PMN substances that are subject to
Orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the
determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). The TSCA Orders
require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate
the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify
significant new uses as any manufacturing, processing, use,
distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the
restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, consistent with
TSCA section 5(f)(4).
Where EPA determined that the PMN substance may present an
unreasonable risk of injury to human health via inhalation exposure,
the underlying TSCA Order usually requires that potentially exposed
employees wear specified respirators unless actual measurements of the
workplace air show that air-borne concentrations of the PMN substance
are below a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL), and includes
requirements addressing performance criteria for sampling and
analytical methods, periodic monitoring, respiratory protection, and
recordkeeping. No comparable NCEL provisions currently exist in 40 CFR
part 721, subpart B, for SNURs. Therefore, for these cases, the
individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, will state that persons
subject to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs as an alternative to the
40 CFR 721.63 respirator requirements may request to do so under 40 CFR
721.30. EPA expects that persons whose 40 CFR 721.30 requests to use
the NCELs approach for SNURs that are approved by EPA will be required
to comply with NCELs provisions that are comparable to those contained
in the corresponding TSCA Order for the same chemical substance.
IV. Substances Subject to This Proposed Rule
EPA is proposing significant new use and recordkeeping requirements
for certain chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In this
unit, EPA provides the following information for each chemical
substance that is identified in this unit as subject to this proposed
rule:
PMN number.
Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
Effective date of and basis for the TSCA Order.
Potentially Useful Information.
CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
the proposed rule.
The chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs are as follows:
PMN Numbers: P-09-477 and P-09-485.
Chemical Names: 1-Butanesulfonamide, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4-nonafluoro-
(P-09-477) and 1-butanesulfonamide, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4-nonafluoro-N,N-
bis(2-hydroxyethyl)- (P-09-485).
CAS Numbers: 30334-69-1 (P-09-477) and 34455-00-0 (P-09-485).
Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 5, 2009.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substances will be as fluorinated
intermediates. EPA identified concerns for the potential degradation
products of the PMN substances. Based on their physical/chemical and
environmental fate properties, these degradation products
arepotentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals
(as described in the New Chemical Program's PBT category at 64 FR
60194; November 1999). EPA estimates that the degradation products of
the PMN substances will persist in the environment for more than 6
months and estimates a bioaccumulation factor of greater than or equal
to 1,000. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN
substances and comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA
hasidentified concerns for lung, blood, and spleen effects for P-09-477
and lung surfactancy, eye irritation, skin irritation, irritation to
mucous membranes, and lung irritation for P-09-485. Based on available
data on analogs of the potential degradation products of the PMN
substances, EPA has identified concerns for liver, blood, and kidney
toxicity, developmental toxicity, and immunotoxicity. Based on
comparison to analogous chemical substances and available data on
analogs of the potential degradation products, EPA has also identified
concerns for aquatic toxicity.
In 2009, EPA issued an Order for P-09-477 and P-09-485 under TSCA
sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i), 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II),
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substances may present an
unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment and that
the substances will be produced in substantial quantities and may be
anticipated to enter the environment in substantial quantities and
there may be significant (or substantial) exposures to the substances.
The Order requires protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise
mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. Specifically, the Order
prohibits the PMN submitter from any predictable or purposeful release
of the PMN substances or any waste stream from manufacturing,
processing, and use containing the PMN substances into the waters of
the United States.
The protective measures in the Order only apply to the PMN
submitter who is subject to the Order. One of the purposes of a SNUR is
to extend protective measures to other manufacturers and processors.
EPA did not issue SNURs following the Order in 2009 to apply to other
manufacturers and processors. EPA is now proposing these SNURs to limit
environmental releases for all other manufacturers and processors. EPA
is proposing to designate as a significant new use any release to water
of waste streams from manufacture, processing, or use containing the
substances.
As further discussed in Unit VI., EPA must determine that a use of
a chemical substance is not ongoing in order to designate that use as a
significant new use. EPA has received no information (e.g.,
notification under the Chemical Data Reporting rule, TSCA notices,
other required reporting) which indicates that any person other than
the PMN submitter is engaged in the manufacture or processing of these
substances. Because the PMN submitter is subject to the terms of the
Order and no other manufacturers or processors have been identified,
EPA concludes that the significant new use is not ongoing.
EPA recognizes that manufacturers and processors that would be
subject to the proposed SNURs could request under Sec. 721.30 to
employ alternative measures to control environmental release of these
substances as described in a compliance monitoring plan that provides
substantially the same degree of protection as the existing consent
order. EPA has identified the following information that at a minimum
would be useful to address the requirements of Sec. 721.30(b)(4), (5),
and (6):
Description of the pretreatment process and any treatment
technologies employed;
Description of the analytical method used (and the non-
detect limit of method);
Sampling locations, frequency, QA/QC for handling and
transport;
Monitoring location, frequency, and QA/QC if non-detect
limit exceeded; and
Copy of the facility's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System
[[Page 66996]]
(NPDES) permit(s), and identification of any discharge limits
EPA will review this and other relevant information when making an
equivalency determination under Sec. 721.30; however, submission of
this information does not guarantee approval of the request.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of
physical/chemical properties, environmental fate, aquatic toxicity,
reproductive/developmental toxicity, and specific target organ toxicity
testing may be potentially useful to characterize the human health and
environmental effects of the PMN substances. Although the Order does
not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect
until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of
this or other relevant information.

tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)-.
CAS Number: 78014-16-1.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: October 7, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance
will be as an absorption agent and lab reagent. Based on submitted test
data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for irritation/
corrosion to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, acute oral
toxicity, and aspiration hazard. Based on a structural alert for
nitrogen heterocycles, EPA has also identified concerns for systemic
and developmental toxicity. Based on comparison to analogous aliphatic
amines, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at
concentrations that exceed 431 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to
human health or the environment. The Order was also issued under TSCA
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(II) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a finding
that the substance is expected to be produced in substantial
quantities, and that there may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance, or that the substance may enter the
environment in substantial quantities. To protect against these risks,
the Order requires:
Use of the PMN substance only as an absorption agent or
laboratory reagent;
Unloading of the PMN substance only under a gas (e.g.,
nitrogen) blanket;
No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import
only);
Processing of the PMN substance only as described in the
PMN or with additional steps that would reduce air emission; and
No release of the PMN substance into the waters of the
United States.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of
reproductive toxicity, developmental effects, and specific target organ
toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health
effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these
tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is
modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other
relevant information.

Effective Date of TSCA Order: July 30, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as an ultraviolet (UV)
curable oligomer. Based on comparison to analogous 2-ethylhexyl
acrylates and structural alerts for acrylates, EPA has identified
concerns for eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Based on data
for acrylic acid, EPA has identified concerns for corrosion to the eye
and skin. Based on comparison to analogous acrylates/methacrylates, EPA
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that
exceed 2 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable risk to human health or the
environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
No release of the PMN substance into the waters of the
United States.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the

Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 2, 2021.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance
will be as a UV curing agent in highly pigmented inks, photo-resists,
and masks. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN
substance and test data on structurally similar substances, the PMN
substance is a potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemical, as described in EPA's Policy Statement on PBT New Chemical
Substances in the Federal Register of November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194)
(FRL-6097-7). EPA estimates that the PMN substance will persist in the
environment for more than 2 months and estimates a bioaccumulation
factor of greater than or equal to 1,000. Based on comparison to
structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified concerns
for reproductive and developmental effects, eye irritation, and dermal
sensitization. Based on comparison to analogous aliphatic amines, EPA
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that
exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health
and the

CAS Number: Not available.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 23, 2021.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be in UV curable inks. Based on
Michael addition of the acrylate group, EPA has identified concerns for
skin irritation and dermal sensitization. Based on the comparison to
structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified
concerns for reproductive, developmental, and systemic toxicity. Based
on comparison to analogous acrylates/methacrylates and submitted test
data on the new chemical substance, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic
organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 13 ppb. The Order was
issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I),
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to human health or the environment. To protect against
these risks, the Order requires:
Use of personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure;
Use of a National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH)-certified gas/vapor respirator with an assigned
protection factor (APF) of at least 50 where there is a potential for
inhalation exposure;
Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential uses
allowed in the Order;
Establishment of a hazard communication program, including
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the safety
data sheet (SDS); and
No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water
concentrations that exceed 13 ppb.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of
specific target organ toxicity, reproductive/developmental toxicity,
and chronic aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to
characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance.
Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order's
restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by
EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information.

metal coordination compound (generic).
CAS Number: Not available.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: October 30, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a catalyst. Based on the
physical/chemical and environmental fate properties of the ligand, the
ligand is a potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT)
chemical, as described in EPA's Policy Statement on PBT New Chemical
Substances in the Federal Register of November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194)
(FRL-6097-7). EPA estimates that the ligand will persist in the
environment for more than 2 months and estimates a bioconcentration
factor of greater than or equal to 5,000. Based on physical/chemical
properties, structural information and comparison to structurally
analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified concerns for lung
effects (if respirable, poorly soluble particulates are inhaled),
corrosion to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, irritation,
potential lung toxicity, and carcinogenicity. EPA has also identified
concerns for systemic effects and reproductive/developmental effects to
the extent the metal components are bioavailable and to the extent the
PMN substance is able to chelate nutrient metals. Based on available
toxicity data on a residual, EPA has also identified concerns for
neurotoxicity and kidney toxicity. Based on the comparison to analogous
aluminum compounds, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may
occur at concentrations that exceed 28 ppb. The Order was issued under
TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a
finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a

PMN Number: P-20-72
Chemical Name: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (generic).
CAS Number: Not available.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: September 29, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as an additive used to
impart specific physiochemical properties to finished articles. Based
on available data for other multi-walled carbon nanotubes and by
analogy to asbestos, EPA has identified concerns for lung effects (lung
overload and lung carcinogenicity) if respirable, poorly soluble
particulates and fibers are inhaled. Based on comparison to
structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified
concerns for eye irritation and systemic effects. Based on the presence
of a confidential residual, EPA has also identified concerns for acute
neurotoxicity, dermal and respiratory sensitization, mutagenicity, and
carcinogenicity. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
Use of personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure;
Use of a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with N-
100, P-100, or R-100 cartridges with an APF of at least 50 where there
is a potential for inhalation exposure;
No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import
only);
No exceedance of the confidential annual importation
volume listed in the Order;
No importation of the PMN substance other than as
confidentially described in the PMN and allowed in the Order;
No importation of the PMN substance such that the maximum
weight percentage of the confidential impurity exceeds the confidential
percentage identified in the Order;
No processing or use of the PMN substance other than for
the confidential use allowed in the Order;
Disposal of the PMN substance and any waste streams from
processing and use containing the PMN substance by incineration or
landfill only;
No release of the PMN substance directly to air;
No processing or use of the PMN substance in application
methods that generate a dust, mist, spray, vapor, or aerosol unless
such application method occurs in an enclosed process;
Establishment of a hazard communication program, including
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS; and
No release of the PMN substance to water.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be

Chemical Name: Carbomonocyclic sulfonium, salt with trihalo-
sulfoalkyl hydroxycarbopolycyclic carboxylate (generic).
CAS Number: Not available.
Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 3, 2020.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the PMN substance will be as an ingredient used in
the manufacture of photoresist. Based on the physical/chemical
properties of the PMN substance and test data on structurally similar
substances, the PMN substance is a potentially persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical, as described in EPA's Policy
Statement on PBT New Chemical Substances in the Federal Register of
November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194) (FRL-6097-7). EPA estimates that the PMN
substance will persist in the environment for more than 2 months and
estimates a bioaccumulation factor of greater than or equal to 1,000.
Based on the photoreactivity of the PMN substance, EPA has identified
concerns for photosensitization. Based on comparison to analogous
substances, EPA has identified concerns for eye corrosion, irritation,
acute toxicity, liver toxicity, and neurotoxicity. Based on positive
mutagenicity test results for analogous chemical substances and
available data on an analog of the confidential anion analogue, EPA has
identified concerns for reproductive (developmental) toxicity. EPA has
also identified concerns for lung overload by insoluble polymers for
photoacid generators with polymeric anions that have a molecular weight
over 10,000 g/mol. EPA was unable to estimate the environmental hazard
of the PMN substance. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
No manufacture of the PMN substance beyond the time limits
specified in the Order without submittal to EPA of the results of
certain testing described in the Testing section of the Order;
Use of personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure;
Establishment of a hazard communication program, including
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
No modification of the processing or use of the PMN
substance in any way that generates a vapor, dust, mist, or aerosol in
a non-enclosed process;
Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use
allowed in the Order;
No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import
only);
Import of the PMN substance only in solution, or in any
form in sealed containers weighing 5 kilograms or less; and
No exceedance of the confidential annual importation
volume listed the Order.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the physical/chemical properties, fate,
bioaccumulation, environmental hazard, and human health effects of the
PMN substance may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the

photoresist. PMNs P-20-122, P-20-139, P-20-141, P-20-142, P-20-145, P-
20-147, P-20-152, P-20-155, and P-20-159 state that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the PMN substances will be a contained use for
microlithography for electronic device manufacturing. Based on the
physical/chemical properties of the PMN substances and test data on
structurally similar substances, the PMN substances are potentially
persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals, as described in
EPA's Policy Statement on PBT New Chemical Substances in the Federal
Register of November 4, 1999 (64 FR 60194) (FRL-6097-7). EPA estimates
that the PMN substances will persist in the environment for more than 2
months and estimates a bioaccumulation factor of greater than or equal
to 1,000. Based on photoreactivity, EPA has identified concerns for
photosensitization. Based on comparison to structurally analogous
chemical substances, EPA has also identified concerns for eye
corrosion, irritation, acute toxicity, liver toxicity, and
neurotoxicity. Based on positive mutagenicity test results for
analogous chemical substances and available data on an analog of the
confidential anion, EPA has identified concerns for reproductive
(developmental) toxicity. EPA was unable to estimate the environmental
hazard of the PMN substances. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health
or the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
No manufacture of the PMN substances beyond the time
limits specified in the Order without submittal to EPA of the results
of certain testing described in the Testing section of the Order;
Use of personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure;
Establishment of a hazard communication program, including
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
No modification of the processing of the PMN substances in
any way that generates a vapor, dust, mist, or aerosol in a non-
enclosed process;
Use of the PMN substances only for the confidential uses
allowed in the Order. For P-20-140 use only as a photoacid generator
for chemically amplified photoresist;
No domestic manufacture of the PMN substances (i.e.,
import only);
Import of the PMN substance only in solution, or in any
form in sealed containers weighing 5 kilograms or less; and
No exceedance of the confidential annual importation
volumes listed the Order.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information about the physical/chemical properties, fate,
bioaccumulation, environmental hazard, and human health effects of the
PMN substances may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the
time limits specified in the Order without performing the required Tier
I and Tier II testing outlined in the Testing section of the Order.

over 10,000 g/mol. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health

Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 14, 2021.
Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be for froth flotation to treat
rare earth minerals and to remove deleterious substances. Based on
comparison to structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has
identified concerns for aquatic toxicity, mortality, neurotoxicity,
lung histopathology, reproductive/developmental toxicity, and
genotoxicity. Based on the test data for the hydrolysis product, EPA
has identified dermal irritation, ocular irritation, respiratory
irritation, acute toxicity, neurotoxicity, dermal sensitization, lung
effects, and systemic effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
Use of personal protective equipment where there is a
potential for dermal exposure;
Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at
least 50 to prevent inhalation exposure where there is a potential for
inhalation exposure;
Establishment of a hazard communication program, including
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use
allowed in the Order;
No domestic manufacture (i.e., import only); and
No release of the PMN substance to water.
The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the
absence of these protective measures.
Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of
specific target organ and aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially
useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN
substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order's
restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by
EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information.
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11658.
V. Rationale and Objectives of the Proposed Rule
A. Rationale
During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances
that are the subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA concluded that
regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), pending the
development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations of
the health or environmental effects of the chemical substances. The
basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based on these
findings, TSCA section 5(e) Orders requiring the use of appropriate
exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. As a general
matter, EPA believes it is necessary to follow the TSCA Orders with a
SNUR that identifies the absence of those protective measures as
significant new uses to ensure that all manufacturers and processors--
not just the original submitter--are held to the same standard.
B. Objectives
EPA is proposing these SNURs for specific chemical substances which
have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants:
To identify as significant new uses any manufacturing,
processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not
conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders,
consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
To have an opportunity to review and evaluate data
submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or
processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant
new use.
To be able to either determine that the prospective
manufacture or processing is not likely to present an unreasonable
risk, or to take necessary regulatory action associated with any other
determination, before the described significant new use of the chemical
substance occurs.
VI. Applicability of the Proposed Significant New Use Designation
To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this proposed rule
have undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not
received a
[[Page 67002]]
notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has not been
added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such activities
without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical substances for
which an NOC has not been submitted, EPA concludes that the designated
significant new uses are not ongoing.
When chemical substances identified in this proposed rule are added
to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is
effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified
as a significant new use. However, TSCA Orders have been issued for
these chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are prohibited by the
TSCA Orders from undertaking activities which would be designated as
significant new uses. The identities of many of the chemical substances
subject to this proposed rule have been claimed as confidential per 40
CFR 720.85. Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly
unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in the
regulatory text of this proposed rule are ongoing.
Therefore, EPA designates November 24, 2021 as the cutoff date for
determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA's
approach is to ensure that a person cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating
a significant new use before the effective date of the final rule.
In the unlikely event that a person began commercial manufacture or
processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use
identified as of the above mentioned date, that person would have to
cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To
resume their activities, these persons would have to first comply with
all applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on
the notice, and has taken such actions as are required with that
determination.
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that
the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical
substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at
https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
VII. Development and Submission of Information
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require developing any
particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before
submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to
submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, TSCA
Order or consent agreement under TSCA section 4, then TSCA section
5(b)(1)(A) requires such information to be submitted to EPA at the time
of submission of the SNUN.
In the absence of a rule, TSCA Order, or consent agreement under
TSCA section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required
only to submit information in their possession or control and to
describe any other information known or reasonably ascertainable (see
40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has
the authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists
potentially useful information for the SNURs listed in this document.
Descriptions of this information is provided for informational
purposes. The potentially useful information identified in Unit IV.
will be useful to EPA's evaluation in the event that someone submits a
SNUN for the significant new use.
EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h),
which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA
encourages dialog with the Agency on the use of alternative test
methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or
NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA
encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how
best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of
TSCA section 4(h). For more information on alternative test methods and
strategies to reduce vertebrate animal testing, visit https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/alternative-test-methods-and-strategies-reduce.
In some of the TSCA Orders for the chemical substances identified
in this rule, EPA has established time limits in view of the lack of
data on the potential health and environmental risks that may be posed
by the significant new uses or increased exposure to the chemical
substances. These limits cannot be exceeded unless the PMN submitter
first submits the results of specified tests that would permit a
reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these chemical
substances. The SNURs contain the same time limits as the TSCA Orders.
Exceeding these production limits is defined as a significant new use.
Persons who intend to exceed the time limit must notify the Agency by
submitting a SNUN at least 90 days in advance of commencement of non-
exempt commercial manufacture or processing.
Any request by EPA for the triggered and pended testing described
in the TSCA Orders was made based on EPA's consideration of available
screening-level data, if any, as well as other available information on
appropriate testing for the PMN substances. Further, any such testing
request on the part of EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was
made after consideration of available toxicity information,
computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high-throughput
screening methods and their prediction models.
The potentially useful information listed in Unit IV. may not be
the only means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical
substance. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data or other
information may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under
TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f). EPA recommends that potential SNUN
submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be able to
conduct the appropriate tests.
SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following:
Human exposure and environmental release that may result
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
Information on risks posed by the chemical substances
compared to risks posed by potential substitutes.
VIII. SNUN Submissions
According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply
with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures
as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on
health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. SNUNs
must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, generated using e-PMN
software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the procedures
set forth in 40 CFR 720.40. E-PMN software is available electronically
at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.
IX. Economic Analysis
EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical
substances subject to this proposed rule. EPA's complete economic
analysis is available in the docket for this rulemaking.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review
This action proposes to establish SNURs for several new chemical
substances that were the subject of PMNs. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR
3821, January 21, 2011).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless
it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of
the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
The information collection activities associated with SNURs have
already been approved by OMB under the PRA and assigned OMB control
number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This proposed rule does not contain
any burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to
submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average
between 30 and 170 hours per response. This burden estimate includes
the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources,
gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit
the required SNUN.
Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including using
automated collection techniques, to the Director, Regulatory Support
Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. Please
remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but
do not submit any completed forms to this address.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Pursuant to the RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the
Agency hereby certifies that promulgation of these SNURs would not have
a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any person
(including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any
activity described in the final rule as a ``significant new use.''
Because these uses are ``new,'' based on all information currently
available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities presently
engage in such activities. A SNUR requires that any person who intends
to engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by
submitting a SNUN. EPA's experience to date is that, in response to the
promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency
receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the
number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13
in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 18 in FY2018
and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition,
the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the
potential economic impacts of complying with this proposed SNUR are not
expected to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of
small entities. In a SNUR that published in the Federal Register of
June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency presented its
general determination that final SNURs are not expected to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities,
which was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs,
State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these
rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any
State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this action. As
such, EPA has determined that this proposed rule would not impose any
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any
effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA
sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action would not have a substantial direct effect on States,
on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999).
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action would not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This
action would not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of
Indian Tribal governments, nor would it involve or impose any
requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements
of Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply
to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically significant
regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, and this action
does not address environmental health or safety risks
disproportionately affecting children.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because this proposed rule is not expected to affect
energy supply, distribution, or use.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This action does not involve any technical standards subject to
NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994).
