Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (22-
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 November 30, 2022.

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 November 30, 2022 
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-2022-0462, 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

[[Page 65549]]

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 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. 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 V. 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.

V. 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 (the proposed CFR citation assigned in the 
regulatory text section of the proposed rule).
     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 Section 5(e) 
Order.
     Potentially Useful Information.
    The chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs are as follows:

PMN Number: P-16-349 (40 CFR 721.11752)

    Chemical Name: Quaternary ammonium salt of polyisobutene succinic 
acid (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective date of modification of TSCA Order: October 18, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order modification: The PMN states that the generic 
(non-confidential) use of the substance will be as a fuel additive. On 
November 30, 2018, EPA issued a Consent Order regarding premanufacture 
notice P-16-349. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(i) 
and 5(e)(I)(A)(i), based on a finding that the available information is 
insufficient to permit a reasoned evaluation of the environmental 
effects of the PMN substance. The order required the Company to submit 
to EPA certain toxicity testing before any manufacturing, processing, 
or use of the PMN substance to address potential

[[Page 65550]]

environmental risks. The Order was also 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. Additionally, the Order was 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 or will be produced in substantial quantities and 
that the substance either enters or may reasonably be anticipated to 
enter the environment in substantial quantities, or there is or may be 
significant (or substantial) human exposure to the substance.
    On January 20, 2020, the Company submitted to EPA the following 
testing in accordance with the requirements of the Consent Order: an 
inherent biodegradability study/Zahn-Wellens/EMPA test based on OECD 
Test Guideline 302B; a freshwater acute fish toxicity study; a marine 
acute fish toxicity study; an acute aquatic invertebrate toxicity; and 
an algal toxicity test. The Company also provided a report indicating 
that the fish acute toxicity mitigated by humic acid test was not 
conducted as no toxic effects were observed in the fish acute toxicity 
test. The required ecotoxicity and fate tests were reviewed and found 
to be acceptable. The results of these tests demonstrated that the 
substance has low environmental hazard.
    On October 18, 2021, EPA issued a modified Consent Order to allow 
manufacturing, processing, and use of the PMN substance under certain 
limitations. Based on comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA 
has identified concerns for developmental toxicity. Based on the 
surfactant properties of the PMN substance, EPA has also identified 
concerns for lung effects. To protect against these human health risks, 
the consent Order modification requires:
     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 use of the PMN substance in any consumer product to be 
added to gasoline or diesel fuels by the consumer;
     Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use 
allowed in the Order; and
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in 
any manner that results in inhalation exposure.
    The proposed SNUR designates 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 would be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that information that would 
inform the understanding of absorption and developmental effects would 
be potentially useful to characterize the human health effects of the 
PMN substance. Although the Order does not require the development of 
this information, 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.

PMN Number: P-18-27 (40 CFR 721.11753)

    Chemical Name: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-alkyl-, 2-(dialkylamino)alkyl 
ester, polymer with alpha-(2-alkyl-1-oxo-2-alken-1-yl)-omega-
methoxypoly(oxy-1,2-alkanediyl) (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: December 1, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as an additive in coatings. 
Based on structural alerts for aliphatic amines and polyamines, 
information provided in the SDS, and comparison to analogous 
substances, EPA has identified concerns for irritation to the skin, 
eyes, and respiratory tract, lung effects, and skin sensitization. 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 an 
APF of at least 50, or of at least 1,000 when spray applied, where 
there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in formulations greater than 
0.1% for spray applications; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    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, pulmonary effects, eye irritation, skin 
irritation, and skin sensitization 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.

PMN Number: P-18-301 (40 CFR 721.11754)

    Chemical Name: Alkanedioic acid, polymer with cycloalkyl 
dimethanol, alkyl and cycloalkyl diisocyanates, dimethyl-alkanediol, 
dihydroxyalkanoic acid methylenebis[isocyanatocyclohexane, hydroxyethyl 
acrylate- and polyalkyl glycol monoalkyl ether blocked (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective date of TSCA Order: June 22, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a coating component. 
Based on the TSCA New Chemical Program Chemical Category for acrylates, 
EPA identified irritation and sensitization hazards for 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:
     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 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; and
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product.
    The proposed SNUR designates as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.

[[Page 65551]]

    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 would be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that information that would 
inform the understanding of skin irritation and sensitization would be 
potentially useful to characterize the human health effects of the PMN 
substance. Although the Order does not require the development of this 
information, 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.

PMN Number: P-18-340 (40 CFR 721.11755)

    Chemical Name: Poly(oxy-1,4-butanediyl), alpha-hydro-omega-hydroxy-
, polymer with 1,1'-methylenebis[4-isocyanatobenzene),caprolactam-
blocked.
    CAS Number: 2247074-17-3.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: March 22, 2022.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance 
will be for one component thermoset elastomer manufacture. Based on the 
structural alert for diisocyanates, EPA has identified concerns for 
skin and respiratory sensitization. Based on test data for the 
hydrolysis product caprolactam, EPA has also identified concerns for 
neurotoxicity, reproductive/developmental toxicity, respiratory tract 
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;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
     No manufacture without the use of a packed tower scrubber 
that removes at least 95% of the PMN substance prior to release;
     No manufacturing, processing, or use of the PMN substance 
in any manner that results in inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance other than in one component 
thermoset elastomer manufacture; and
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product.
    The proposed SNUR designates 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 would be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of skin 
sensitization, reproductive toxicity (developmental effects), pulmonary 
effects, neurotoxicity, and other specific target organ toxicity 
testing may be potentially useful to characterize the human 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.

PMN Number: P-19-165 (40 CFR 721.11756)

    Chemical Name: Tall oil pitch, fraction, sterol-low (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: September 24, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) uses will be as a plasticizer in rubber and an additive 
for asphalt. EPA is unable to determine acute and chronic concentration 
of concern values for sediment-dwelling organisms and amphibians due to 
expected partitioning to sediments and a lack of scientific data to 
characterize the environmental hazards. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(i), based on a finding that the 
information available to the Agency is insufficient to permit a 
reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the new 
chemical substance. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, into water.
    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 be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of aquatic 
toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
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.

PMN Number: P-20-10 (40 CFR 721.11757)

    Chemical Name: Carboxylic acid, reaction products with metal 
hydroxide, inorganic dioxide and metal (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: October 15, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a polymerization 
auxiliary. Based on the potential for chelation of nutrient metals, EPA 
has identified concerns for developmental and blood effects. Based on 
test data on components of the PMN substance and test data on a 
metabolite, EPA has identified concerns for systemic toxicity, 
reproductive and developmental toxicity, genotoxicity, and skin 
sensitization. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA predicts 
toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 
11 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 NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an 
APF of at least 1,000, or an APF of 50 if dust controls are implemented 
that demonstrate an exposure reduction of at least 30% 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; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 11 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

[[Page 65552]]

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 acute toxicity, skin absorption, skin sensitization, genetic 
toxicity, specific target organ toxicity, reproductive/developmental 
toxicity, and neurotoxicity 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.

    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state that the use of the substances 
will be as electrically conductive materials, heat dissipation 
materials, heat generation materials, additives for weight reduction, 
additives to improve physical or mechanical properties, additives in 
batteries, energy storage, and electrode applications, and additives in 
field emission applications. Based on analogy to asbestos fibers and 
data for other multi-walled carbon nanotubes, EPA has identified 
concerns for lung effects (lung overload and lung carcinogenicity) if 
poorly soluble, respirable particulates and fibers are inhaled. Based 
on comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified 
concerns for eye irritation and systemic effects. Based on the presence 
of cobalt oxide as a residual at 2.1%, EPA has identified concerns for 
the P-20-64 chemical substance for acute neurotoxicity, dermal and 
respiratory sensitization, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. EPA was 
unable to estimate the environmental hazard of these new chemical 
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 domestic manufacture (i.e., import only);
     No processing or use of the PMN substances in an 
application method that generates a vapor, mist, dust, or aerosol 
unless such application method occurs in an enclosed process;
     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 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     No manufacture of the PMN substances with a maximum weight 
% of cobalt oxide impurity in exceedance of 2.1%;
     Process and use of the PMN substances only as electrically 
conductive materials, heat dissipation materials, heat generation 
materials, additives for weight reduction, additives to improve 
physical or mechanical properties, additives in batteries, energy 
storage, and electrode applications, or as additives in field emission 
applications;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substances, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substances, into 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 toxicity, carcinogenicity, eye irritation, and 
aquatic 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.

Based on test data on a disassociation product, EPA has also identified 
concerns for thyroid effects, immunotoxicity, and developmental 
neurotoxicity. Based on comparison to an analogous chemical substance, 
EPA predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 3 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 NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 1,000 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure, or 
compliance with an NCEL of 0.05 mg/m\3\ as an 8-hour time-weighted 
average to prevent inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance other than as a deposition 
precursor in the manufacture of electronic components;
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 3 ppb; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    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 skin 
corrosion, eye damage, specific target organ toxicity, pulmonary 
effects, developmental neurotoxicity, 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.

PMN Number: P-21-115 (40 CFR 721.11774)

    Chemical Name: Heteromonocycle, polymer, substituted aliphatic 
carbamate, [2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)oxy]alkyl]ester (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 3, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a raw material for 
industrial additive manufacturing, UV-curable inks, coatings, and 
adhesives. Based on the presence of bifunctional acrylates and 
information provided in the TSCA New Chemical Program Chemical 
Categories for acrylates, EPA has identified concerns for irritation to 
the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, and skin and respiratory 
sensitization. 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 an 
APF of at least 50, or of at least 1,000 when spray applied, where 
there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    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

[[Page 65557]]

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 skin irritation, sensitization, and eye damage 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.

PMN Number: P-21-141 (40 CFR 721.11775)

    Chemical Name: Alkanes, C4-8-branched and linear.
    CAS Number: 2529890-37-5.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 4, 2022.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance 
will be as a transportation fuel. Based on the constituents of the PMN 
substance, EPA has identified concerns for skin and eye irritation, 
respiratory depression/irritation, acute toxicity, neurotoxicity, 
systemic toxicity, neurotoxicity, body weight effects, reproductive and 
developmental toxicity, and genotoxicity. Based on an analogue mixture, 
EPA has also identified concerns for respiratory tract effects and 
carcinogenicity. Based on the chemical composition as a petroleum 
replacement, EPA has also identified concerns for hydrocarbon 
pneumonia/aspiration. Based on comparison to analogous neutral organic 
substances, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 3 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; and
     No manufacturing, processing, or use of the PMN substance 
other than for use as a transportation fuel, refinery feedstock; or 
fuel blending additive.
    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 skin 
irritation, eye irritation, respiratory depression/irritation, 
hydrocarbon pneumonia/aspiration, reproductive and developmental 
toxicity, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, 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.

PMN Number: P-21-196 (40 CFR 721.11776)

    Chemical Name: 5H-1,2-Oxathiole, 2,2-dioxide.
    CAS Number: 21806-61-1.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: June 20, 2022.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance 
will be as an additive in battery electrolyte formulations. Based on 
information provided in the SDS, EPA has identified concerns for acute 
toxicity, eye irritation, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. Based on 
OECD Toolbox results, EPA has identified concerns for skin 
sensitization. Based on submitted test data, EPA has identified 
concerns for acute toxicity, skin sensitization, genotoxicity, 
neurotoxicity, reproductive, and developmental effects. Based on 
alkylating potential of the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns 
for eye irritation, skin sensitization, acute toxicity, genotoxicity, 
carcinogenicity, and liver and developmental effects. Based on test 
data for analogous substance, EPA has also identified concerns for 
acute toxicity, clinical signs, eye irritation and corrosion, 
genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. Based on submitted test data, EPA 
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that 
exceed 23 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:
     Manufacture of the PMN substance only by import into the 
United States (i.e., no domestic manufacture).
     Process and use of the PMN substance only in an enclosed 
process except that sampling and equipment cleaning operations need not 
occur in an enclosed process. During sampling and equipment cleaning 
operations each person is required to wear a National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified full-face respirator 
with an Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000 and dermal personal 
protective equipment.
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS; and
     Disposal of the PMN substance only by incineration with 
99.9% efficiency.
    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 
neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and aquatic toxicity testing may be 
potentially useful to characterize the human 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.

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 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

[[Page 65558]]

it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in 
the regulatory text of this proposed rule are ongoing.
    EPA designates October 31, 2022 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 that date 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, 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 V. 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 V. 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 V. 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 Orders 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and 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,

[[Page 65559]]

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 $19,020 to $3,330. This lower fee 
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a 
SNUN to about $11,164 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 as specified in 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 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.

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 action is not expected to affect energy 
supply, distribution, or use and because this action has not otherwise 
been designated as a significant energy action by the Administrator of 
OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

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 Orders 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and 14008: 
Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad

    EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Orders 
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) and 14008 (86 FR 7619, January 
27, 2021) because it does not establish an environmental health or 
safety standard.
