Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (22-
1.5e)

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 would 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,

[[Page 74073]]

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 in association with that 
determination.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 3, 2023.

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 any of 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 January 3, 2023 
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 CBI to EPA through https://www.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-2021-0847, 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.
    For each proposed SNUR containing significant new uses not based on 
the Order requirements as described in Unit III., EPA is proposing that 
the general reporting exemption described in 40 CFR 721.45(i) not 
apply. 40 CFR 721.45(i) provides that the notification requirements of 
40 CFR 721.25 do not apply, unless otherwise specified in a specific 
SNUR, if: ``The person is operating under the terms of a consent order 
issued under section 5(e) of the Act applicable to that person. If a 
provision of such section 5(e) order is inconsistent with a specific 
significant new use identified in subpart E of this part, abiding by 
the provision of the

[[Page 74074]]

section 5(e) order exempts the person from submitting a significant new 
use notice for that specific significant new use.'' EPA is proposing to 
make that exemption inapplicable to each SNUR in this proposed rule 
with significant new uses not based on Order requirements to ensure 
that persons subject to the Order would also be subject to the 
significant new use notification requirements in this proposed rule 
that are not based on Order requirements.

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, and 
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 sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), 
and in some cases also under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II). 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). The proposed rules also include other significant 
new uses EPA proposes to determine are not ongoing based on information 
showing that the chemical is either not on the TSCA Inventory or had 
limited Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) under TSCA section 8(a).

IV. Rationale and Objectives of the Proposed Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances 
that are the subject of 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.
    EPA did not previously issue SNURs following these Orders. EPA is 
now proposing these SNURs to require notice to EPA by any other person 
who wishes to manufacture or process the chemical substance in a way 
that does not conform to the protective measures contained in the 
Order.
    The proposed SNURs also include significant new uses EPA proposes 
to determine are not ongoing based either on information showing that 
the chemical is not on the TSCA Inventory or based on EPA's review of 
CDR reporting submissions under TSCA section 8(a). EPA believes that 
these uses could significantly increase the magnitude and duration of 
exposure to humans and the environment to these chemical substances. 
Accordingly, EPA wants the opportunity to evaluate and manage risks, 
where appropriate, from activities associated with those uses, before 
manufacturing or processing for those uses were to begin.
    If a notice of commencement had not been received for the chemical 
and it is not on the TSCA Inventory, the proposed SNUR includes a 
significant new use for uses other than as described in the PMN, and 
annual production volume greater than 2500 pounds. If the chemical is 
on the TSCA Inventory, EPA conducted a search of CDR reporting for the 
chemical in the 2020 reporting cycle. If there was no CDR reporting for 
the chemical in the 2020 reporting cycle, the proposed SNUR includes 
significant new uses for use other than as described in the PMN and 
annual production volume greater than the threshold for CDR reporting 
for chemicals subject to a TSCA section 5(e) order which is 2500 
pounds. If there is CDR reporting for the chemical from the 2020 
reporting cycle, the proposed SNUR includes significant new uses for 
use other than reported in CDR.
    This proposed rule advances one of the ``key actions'' in the PFAS 
Strategic Roadmap where EPA stated it plans to revisit past PFAS 
regulatory decisions and address those that are insufficiently 
protective by imposing additional notification requirements. In this 
way, the Agency can ensure it has the opportunity to review PFAS before 
they are used in new ways that might present concerns. To view the PFAS 
Strategic Roadmap and learn more about EPA actions to address PFAS, 
please visit https://www.epa.gov/pfas/epa-actions-address-pfas and

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 identify as significant new uses, other specific uses 
and production volumes that are not ongoing uses and that could result 
in changes to the type, form, magnitude, or duration of exposure of 
human beings or the environment to these chemical substances.
     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

[[Page 74075]]

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) or Accession number 
(if assigned for 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-00-1085 (40 CFR 721.11716).
    Chemical Name: Fluoroacrylate copolymer (generic).
    CAS or Accession Number: Accession No. 249720.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 6, 2001.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a surfactant. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on 
comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA predicted toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at acute concentrations that exceed 100 
ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 section 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. To protect against these risks, the Order required:
     No manufacture of the PMN substance beyond 29 months 
without submittal to EPA of the results of certain testing described in 
the Testing section of the Order; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of the hazard communication requirements. Additionally, the 
proposed SNUR would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a surfactant in paint and coatings 
manufacturing.
    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, acute and chronic human health toxicity, acute and 
chronic ecotoxicity, and environmental fate 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. 
Manufacturers or processors considering submitting a SNUN and/or 
developing this information should also know that the PMN submitter 
agreed not to exceed the time limit specified in the Order without 
performing the required testing outlined in the Testing section of the 
Order.
    PMN Number: P-01-584 (40 CFR 721.11717).
    Chemical Name: Perfluoroalkylsulfonamidoalkyl acrylate, polymer 
with acrylic acid derivatives (generic).
    CAS or Accession Number: Accession No. 254456.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: October 3, 2001.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a surfactant. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on 
comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA predicted toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at acute concentrations that exceed 100 
ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 section 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. To protect against these risks, the Order required:
     No manufacture of the PMN substance beyond 29 months 
without submittal to EPA of the results of certain testing described in 
the Testing section of the Order; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of the hazard communication requirement. Additionally, the 
proposed SNUR would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a surfactant in adhesive and synthetic 
rubber manufacturing.
    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, acute and chronic human health toxicity, acute and 
chronic ecotoxicity, and environmental fate testing performed on a 
confidential analog of the PMN substance 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. 
Manufacturers or processors considering submitting a SNUN and/or 
developing this information should also know that the PMN submitter 
agreed not to exceed the time limit specified in the Order without 
performing the required testing outlined in the Testing section of the 
Order.
    PMN Number: P-02-16 (40 CFR 721.11718).
    Chemical Name: Urethane polymer modified with 
perfluoroalkylsulfonamide (generic).
    CAS or Accession Number: Accession No. 252290.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 30, 2002.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a protective coating. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these

[[Page 74076]]

degradation products will persist in the environment, could 
bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild 
mammals, and birds. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(e)(1)(A)(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 section 
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. To protect against these 
risks, the Order required the establishment of certain hazard 
communication requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of this protective measure. Additionally, the proposed SNUR 
would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a finishing agent in textiles, apparel, 
and leather manufacturing.
    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, acute and chronic human health toxicity, acute and 
chronic ecotoxicity, and environmental fate testing performed on 
confidential analog of the PMN substance 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-02-195 (40 CFR 721.11719).
    Chemical Name: Urethane polymer modified with 
perfluoroalkylsulfonamide and polyethoxylate (generic).
    CAS or Accession Number: Accession No. 271739.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: May 2, 2002.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a protective treatment. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. The Order was 
issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 section 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. To 
protect against these risks, the Order required:
     Submit to EPA the results of certain testing described in 
the Testing section of the Order at least 14 weeks before manufacturing 
or importing the confidential volume listed in the Order; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of the hazard communication protective measure. Additionally, 
the proposed SNUR would designate the following as significant new 
uses:
     Use other than as a finishing agent in textiles, apparel, 
and leather manufacturing.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain

weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. The Order was 
issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 section 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. To 
protect against these risks, the Order required the establishment of 
certain hazard communication requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of this protective measure. Additionally, the proposed SNUR 
would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a finishing agent in textiles, apparel, 
and leather manufacturing.
    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, acute and chronic human health toxicity, acute and 
chronic ecotoxicity, and environmental fate testing performed on 
confidential analog of the PMN substance 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.

degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on 8(e) 
test data on analogous chemical substances, EPA had identified concerns 
for possible acute lethality. Based on comparison to analogous chemical 
substances, EPA predicted toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 2 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb;
     Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use as 
stated in the PMN; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication

    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the use will be as an 
additive. Based on potential degradation products, byproducts, 
unreacted material, and low molecular weight species, EPA had concerns 
that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could 
bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild 
mammals, and birds. The Order was issued under TSCA sections

    Effective Date of TSCA Order: June 26, 2003.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a protective treatment. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on test 
data on structurally similar chemicals, EPA had identified concerns for 
lung toxicity and irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes. The 
Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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

    CAS or Accession Number: Accession No. 242467.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: June 26, 2003.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a chemical intermediate. Based on 
potential degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low 
molecular weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation 
products will persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or 
biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and 
birds. Based on test data on structurally similar chemicals, EPA had 
identified concerns for liver toxicity, acute toxicity, developmental 
and reproductive toxicity, and cancer. Based on waterproofing of the 
lungs if respirable aerosols are inhaled, EPA had also identified 
concerns for chronic lung effects. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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 required:
     No manufacture of the PMN substance with an average 
molecular weight (MW) less than 1000 daltons, more than 5 percent 
oligomeric material less than 500 daltons or more than 10 percent 
oligomeric material less than 1000 daltons;
     Analyzing the molecular weight of the PMN substance 
produced at each facility; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures. Additionally, the proposed SNUR 
would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a chemical intermediate; and

    Effective Date of TSCA Order: July 24, 2003.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a paint additive. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on data 
on analogous perfluorinated compounds and the high molecular weight of 
the PMN substance, EPA had also identified concerns for lung effects 
through lung overload. 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 required:
     Manufacture of the PMN substance as an alternating 
copolymer made up of the confidential monomers specified in the Order 
to prevent creation of long-chain perfluorinated acids including PFOA;
     Analysis of representative samples of the PMN substance or 
measurement of initial concentrations of reactants as specified in the 
Order to ensure compliance with the chemical composition requirements; 
and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures. Additionally, the proposed SNUR

catalyst. Based on potential degradation products, byproducts, 
unreacted material, and low molecular weight species, EPA had concerns 
that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could 
bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild 
mammals, and birds. Based on comparison to analogous chemical 
substances, EPA had identified concerns for liver toxicity, 
developmental and reproductive effects, and irritation to mucous 
membranes, lungs, and eye. Based on comparison to analogous cationic 
surfactants, EPA predicted concern for toxicity to aquatic organisms. 
The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient

    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs stated that the generic (non-
confidential) use of P-04-174 will be as a protective coating and the 
use of P-04-176 will be as a chemical intermediate. Based on potential 
degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, and low molecular 
weight species, EPA had concerns that these degradation products will 
persist in the environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and 
could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. The Order was

described in the Testing section of the Order at least 14 weeks before 
manufacturing or importing the total confidential volume of both P-04-
174 and P-04-176 combined listed in the Order; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication

    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs stated that the generic (non-
confidential) uses will be as a textile chemical (P-05-75) and paper/
textile chemical (P-05-107). Based on potential degradation products, 
EPA had concerns that these degradation products will persist in the 
environment, could bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic 
(PBT) to people, wild mammals, and birds. Based on comparison to 
analogous perfluorinated chemicals, EPA had identified concerns for 
lung effects under some conditions of use--particularly non-industrial, 
commercial, or consumer use. Based on potential persistent degradation 
products, EPA predicted high concern for possible environmental 
effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient

    Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 5, 2005.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN stated that the use will be as a 
copolymer for automotive and industrial parts. Based on potential 
incineration, decomposition, and degradation products, byproducts, 
unreacted material, and low molecular weight species, EPA had concerns 
that these degradation products will persist in the environment, could 
bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild 
mammals, and birds. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(e)(1)(A)(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

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. To protect against these 
risks, the Order required:
     Chemical synthesis of the substance and analysis of the 
substance demonstrating compliance with the required synthesis 
according to the confidential conditions in the Chemical Synthesis and 
Composition section of the Order; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures. Additionally, the proposed SNUR 
would designate the following as significant new uses:
     Use other than as a copolymer for automotive and

acrylate (generic) (P-06-206).
    CAS or Accession Numbers: Not Available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Orders: May 1, 2006.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs stated that the generic (non-
confidential) uses will be as textile treatment additives (P-05-491, P-
05-492, P-05-505, P-05-838, P-06-207, P-06-208, P-06-211, P-06-215, P-
06-217, and P-06-224), carpet treatment additive (P-05-503, P-06-213, 
and P-06-216), tile surface treatment (P-05-504), monomer for textile 
treatment additive (P-06-206), nonwoven internal additive (P-06-212) 
and paper treatment additive (P-06-214). Based on potential 
incineration and degradation products, byproducts, unreacted material, 
and low molecular weight species, EPA had concerns that these 
degradation products will persist in the environment, could 
bioaccumulate or biomagnify, and could be toxic (PBT) to people, wild 
mammals, and birds. Based on comparison to analogous perfluorinated 
chemicals, EPA had identified concerns for lung effects. Based on 
submitted test data, EPA had also identified concerns for systemic 
effects for P-06-206. Based on potential persistent perfluorinated 
degradation products and submitted data for P-06-206, EPA predicted 
concern for possible environmental effects. The Order was issued under 
TSCA sections 5(e)(1)(A)(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. The Order was also issued under 
TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(II), based on a finding that the substances 
are or will be produced in substantial quantities and that the 
substances either enter 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 substances. To 
protect against these risks, the Order required:
     Submit to EPA the results of certain testing described in 
the Testing section of the Order at least 14 weeks before manufacturing 
or importing the total confidential volume of all PMNs combined, 
excluding volumes of the monomer P-06-206, listed in the Order;
     Report annually the impurity content of all confidential 
impurities and carbon chain length impurities listed in the Order by 
analyzing representative samples; and
     Establishment of certain hazard communication program 
requirements.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of the second and third of these protective measures. 
Additionally, the proposed SNUR would designate the following as 
significant new uses:
     Use other than as textile treatment additives (P-05-491, 
P-05-492, P-05-505, P-05-838, P-06-207, P-06-208, P-06-211, P-06-215, 
P-06-217, and P-06-224), carpet treatment additives (P-05-503, P-06-
213, and P-06-216), a tile surface treatment (P-05-504), a monomer for 
textile treatment additives (P-06-206), a nonwoven internal additive 
(P-06-212), or a paper treatment additive (P-06-214); and
     Manufacture beyond an annual production volume of 2500 
lbs.
    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 chronic 
human health toxicity, physical/chemical properties, fate, transport, 
and chronic ecotoxicity testing performed on the PMN substances may be 
potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects 
of the PMN substances. Manufacturers or processors considering 
submitting a SNUN and/or developing this information should also know 
that the PMN submitter agreed not to exceed the time limit specified in 
the Order without performing the required testing outlined in the 
Testing section of the Order.

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 proposed significant new uses are not ongoing.
    For chemical substances identified in this proposed rule that have 
been 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. In addition, for other significant new 
uses EPA has identified in this proposed rule that are not related to 
Order

[[Page 74082]]

requirements, EPA reviewed CDR reporting for those chemicals as 
described in Unit IV and determined that the uses were either not 
ongoing or were unlikely to be ongoing. Based on this, the Agency 
proposes to conclude that none of the significant new uses described in 
the regulatory text of this proposed rule are ongoing. EPA solicits 
comment on whether any of the uses that would be regulated as a 
``significant new use'' if this proposed rule is finalized are ongoing.
    EPA designates December 2, 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 after 
the date this proposal publishes in the Federal Register, 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, 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.
    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 releases 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/laws-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)

    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.
    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.
    Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and 
any suggested methods for minimizing

[[Page 74083]]

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 10 in Federal fiscal year (FY) FY2016, 14 
in FY2017, 16 in FY2018, five in FY2019, seven in FY2020, and 13 in 
FY2021, 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 $10,094 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 proposed rule is not expected to affect 
energy supply, distribution, or use, and 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 Order 
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) and Executive Order 14008 (86 FR 
7619, January 27, 2021) because it does not establish an environmental 
health or safety standard.
