Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
The Postal Service is not required to
provide a cost benefit analysis to
substantiate this rule. However, as the
Postal Service has explained, the rule
has been issued to address the critical
problem resulting from the increases in
the volume of packages with counterfeit
postage.
The Postal Service seeks to
distinguish the handling of articles
entered without postage under
subsection 604.8.2 from those that
contain counterfeit postage.
Therefore, the Postal Service is
revising subsection 604.8.4 to provide
that when all articles with counterfeit
postage are found they will be
considered abandoned and disposed of
at the discretion of the Postal Service,
rather than be returned to the sender as
the affixing of counterfeit postage
reflects a refusal to pay postage or an
intentional effort to avoid paying
postage. The Postal Service is also
revising various other subsections for
clarity with the revision to subsection
604.8.4.
We believe this revision will provide
customers with clarity on the handling
of items bearing counterfeit postage.
The Postal Service adopts the
following changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
We will publish an appropriate
amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect
these changes.

refineries.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
2. Applicability to Importers and
Exporters
This action may also apply to certain
entities through pre-existing import
certification and export notification
rules under TSCA. Chemical importers
are subject to the import provisions of
TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612), the
requirements promulgated at 19 CFR
12.118 through 12.127 (see also 19 CFR
127.28), and the EPA policy in support
of import certification at 40 CFR part
707, subpart B. Chemical importers
must certify that the shipment of the
chemical substance complies with all
applicable rules and orders under
TSCA, including regulations issued
under TSCA sections 5, 6, 7 and Title
IV.
In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR
721.20, this action may also apply to
any persons who export or intend to
export a chemical substance that is the
subject of this rule are subject to the
export notification provisions of TSCA
section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)), and
must comply with the export
notification requirements in 40 CFR part
707, subpart D.

dockets.
II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is finalizing SNURs under TSCA
section 5(a)(2) for certain chemical
substances which were the subject of
PMNs. These SNURs require persons
who intend to manufacture or process
any of these chemical substances for an
activity that is designated as a
significant new use to notify EPA at
least 90 days before commencing that
activity.
Previously, in the Federal Register of
November 17, 2021 (86 FR 64115 (FRL–
8985–01–OCSPP)), EPA proposed
SNURs for these chemical substances.
More information on the specific
chemical substances subject to this final
rule can be found in the Federal
Register document proposing the
SNURs. The docket includes
information considered by the Agency
in developing the proposed and final
rules, including the public comments
received on the proposed rules that are
described in Unit IV.
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. Do the SNUR general provisions
apply?
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
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
21481
these SNURs must comply with the
same SNUN requirements and EPA
regulatory procedures as submitters of
PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In
particular, 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), 5(h)(2), 5(h)(3),
and 5(h)(5) and the regulations at 40
CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a
SNUN, EPA must either determine that
the significant new use is not likely to
present an unreasonable risk of injury or
take such regulatory action as is
associated with an alternative
determination before manufacture or
processing for the significant new use
can commence. If EPA determines that
the significant new 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
A. Determination Factors
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 the
substances, in the context of the four
bulleted TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors
listed in this unit.
During its review of the chemical
substances that are the subjects of these
SNURs and as further discussed in Unit
VI., EPA identified potential risk
concerns associated with other
circumstances of use that, while not
intended or reasonably foreseen, may
occur in the future. EPA is designating
E:\FR\FM\11APR1.SGM
11APR1
21482
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
those other circumstances of use as
significant new uses.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
B. Procedures for Significant New Uses
Claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)
By this rule, EPA is establishing
certain significant new uses which have
been claimed as CBI subject to Agency
confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR
part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E.
Absent a final determination or other
disposition of the confidentiality claim
under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is
required to keep this information
confidential. When this rule was
proposed in 2021, EPA cross referenced
40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1), the procedures
to deal with the situation where a
specific significant new use is CBI, in
order to apply it other SNURs where
certain significant new uses have been
claimed as CBI. Since the proposed rule,
however, EPA has finalized
amendments to 40 CFR 721.11 (87 FR
39756, July 5, 2022 (FRL–5605–02–
OCSPP)), which now provides a means
by which bona fide submitters can
determine whether their substance is
subject to the SNUR and for EPA to
disclose the confidential significant new
use designations to a manufacturer or
processor who has established a bona
fide intent to manufacture or process a
particular chemical substance. As such,
EPA has removed the proposed
references to 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1) for
SNURs that certain significant new uses
have been claimed as CBI because the
procedure in 40 CFR 721.11 now
applies to all SNURs containing any
CBI, including the significant new use.
Under these procedures a
manufacturer or processor may request
EPA to determine whether a specific use
would be a significant new use under
the rule. The manufacturer or processor
must show that it has a bona fide intent
to manufacture or process the chemical
substance and must identify the specific
use for which it intends to manufacture
or process the chemical substance. If
EPA concludes that the person has
shown a bona fide intent to manufacture
or process the chemical substance, EPA
will tell the person whether the use
identified in the bona fide submission
would be a significant new use under
the rule. Since most of the chemical
identities of the chemical substances
subject to these SNURs are also CBI,
manufacturers and processors can
combine the bona fide submission
under the procedure in 40 CFR 721.11
into a single step to identify if a
chemical substance is subject to part
721 and if a specific use would be a
significant new use under the rule.

IV. Public Comments
EPA received public comments from
two identifying entities on the proposed
rules. The Agency’s responses are
presented in the Response to Public
Comments document that is available in
the docket for this rulemaking. EPA did
not make any changes to the
requirements presented in the proposed
rules, as described in the response to
comments.
V. Substances Subject to This Rule
EPA is establishing significant new
use and recordkeeping requirements for
chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721,
subpart E. In Unit IV. of the proposed
SNURs, EPA provided the following
information for each chemical
substance:
• PMN number.
• Chemical name (generic name, if
the specific name is claimed as CBI).
• Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry number (if assigned for nonconfidential chemical identities).
• Basis for the SNUR.
• Potentially useful information.
• CFR citation assigned in the
regulatory text section of this final rule.
The regulatory text section of these
rules specifies the activities designated
as significant new uses. Certain new
uses, including production volume
limits and other uses designated in the
rules, may be claimed as CBI.
VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule
A. Rationale
The chemical substances that are the
subjects of these SNURs received ‘‘not
likely to present an unreasonable risk’’
determinations under TSCA section
5(a)(3)(C) based on EPA’s review of the
intended, known, and reasonably
foreseen conditions of use. However,
EPA has identified other circumstances
that, should they occur in the future,
even if not reasonably foreseen, may
present risk concerns. Specifically, EPA
has determined that deviations from the
protective measures identified in the
PMN submissions could result in
changes in the type or form of exposure
to the chemical substances, increased
exposures to the chemical substances,
and/or changes in the reasonably
anticipated manner and methods of
manufacturing, processing, distribution
in commerce, and disposal of the
chemical substances. These SNURs
identify as a significant new use
manufacturing, processing, use,
distribution in commerce, or disposal
that does not conform to the protective
measures identified in the submissions.
As a result, those significant new uses
cannot occur without first going through
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
a separate, subsequent EPA review and
determination process associated with a
SNUN.
B. Objectives
EPA is issuing these SNURs because
the Agency wants:
• 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 obligated to make a
determination under TSCA section
5(a)(3) regarding the use described in
the SNUN, under the conditions of use.
The Agency will either determine under
section 5(a)(3)(C) that the significant
new use is not likely to present an
unreasonable risk, including an
unreasonable risk to a potentially
exposed or susceptible subpopulation
identified as relevant by the
Administrator under the conditions of
use, or make a determination under
TSCA section 5(a)(3)(A) or (B) and take
the required regulatory action associated
with the determination, before
manufacture or processing for the
significant new use of the chemical
substance can occur.
• To be able to complete its review
and determination on each of the PMN
substances, while deferring analysis on
the significant new uses proposed in
these rules unless and until the Agency
receives a SNUN.
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical
substance does not signify that the
chemical substance is listed on the
TSCA Inventory. Guidance on how to
determine if a chemical substance is on
the TSCA Inventory is available on the
internet at https://www.epa.gov/tscainventory.
VII. Applicability of the Rules to Uses
Occurring Before the Effective Date of
the Final Rule
To establish a significant new use,
EPA must determine that the use is not
ongoing. The chemical substances
subject to this 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 the chemical substances
identified in this rule are added to the
TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that,
before the rule is effective, other persons
E:\FR\FM\11APR1.SGM
11APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
might engage in a use that has been
identified as a significant new use.
However, the identities of many of the
chemical substances subject to this rule
have been claimed as confidential (per
40 CFR 720.85). Based on this, the
Agency believes that it is highly
unlikely that any of the significant new
uses described in the regulatory text of
this rule are ongoing.
EPA designated October 12, 2021 (the
date of FR publication of the proposed
rule) 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.
Persons who began commercial
manufacture or processing of the
chemical substances for a significant
new use identified on or after that date
will 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 EPA would have to
take action under section 5 allowing
manufacture or processing to proceed.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
VIII. Development and Submission of
Information
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5
does not require development of 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 to or reasonably
ascertainable by them (see 40 CFR
720.50). However, upon review of PMNs
and SNUNs, the Agency has the
authority to require appropriate testing.
Unit IV. of the proposed rule lists
potentially useful information for all
SNURs listed here. Descriptions are
provided for informational purposes.
The potentially useful information
identified in Unit IV. of the proposed
rule will be useful to EPA’s evaluation
in the event that someone submits a
SNUN for the significant new use.
Companies who are considering
submitting a SNUN are encouraged, but
not required, to develop the information
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:10 Apr 10, 2023
Jkt 259001
on the substance, which may assist with
EPA’s analysis of the SNUN.
EPA strongly encourages persons,
before performing any testing, to consult
with the Agency pertaining to protocol
election. Furthermore, pursuant to
TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to
reduction of testing in vertebrate
animals, EPA encourages consultation
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-andmanaging-chemicals-under-tsca/
alternative-test-methods-and-strategiesreduce.
The potentially useful information
described in Unit IV. of the proposed
rule may not be the only means of
providing information to evaluate the
chemical substance associated with the
significant new uses. However,
submitting a SNUN without any test
data may increase the likelihood that
EPA will take action under TSCA
sections 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.
IX. 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
and 721.25. E–PMN software is
available electronically at https://
www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.

XI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Additional information about these
statutes and Executive orders can be
found at https://www.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations
and Regulatory Review
This action establishes SNURs for
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)
This action does not impose any new
information collection burden under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. OMB has
previously approved the information
collection activities contained in the
existing SNUR regulations under OMB
Control No. 2070–0038 (EPA ICR No.
1188.13). If an entity were to submit a
SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden
is estimated to be less than 100 hours
per response, and the estimated burden
for export notifications is less than 1.5
hours per notification. In both cases, if
the firm submitting either a SNUN or
export notification is already registered
in CDX, the burden would be lower than
the presented estimates.
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 the
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.
EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR

This listing of the OMB control numbers
and their subsequent codification in the
CFR satisfies the display requirements
of PRA and OMB’s implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. The
Information Collection Request (ICR)
covering the SNUR activities was

given the technical nature of the table,
EPA finds that further notice and
comment to amend it is unnecessary. As
a result, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good
cause’’ under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this table
without further notice and comment.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Pursuant to RFA section 605(b), 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., I hereby certify that
promulgation of this SNUR 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. Although
some small entities may decide to
pursue a significant new use in the
future, EPA cannot presently determine
how many, if any, there may be.
However, 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, 12 in FY2016, 13 in FY2017,
and 11 in FY2018. Only a fraction of
these were from small businesses. In
addition, the Agency currently offers
relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from
$16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and
recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying
small firms. Therefore, the potential
economic impacts of complying with
this 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)
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA)
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 action does 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.).
Since this action does not involve any
technical standards, NTTAA section
12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not
apply to this action.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action will not have federalism
implications because it is not expected
to 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).
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
This action does not entail special
considerations of environmental justice
related issues as delineated by
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994).
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA (5
U.S.C. 801 et seq.), and EPA will submit
a rule report containing this rule and
other required information to each
House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United
States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Environmental protection, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.
This action will not have Tribal
implications because it is not expected
to have substantial direct effects on
Indian Tribes, significantly or uniquely
affect the communities of Indian Tribal
governments, and does not involve or
impose any requirements that affect
Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the
requirements of Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do
not apply to this action.
Environmental protection, Chemicals,
Hazardous substances, Reporting and

Children From Environmental Health
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 a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.

Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA
or Illinois) on April 13, 2021, and
supplemented by a Clean Air Act (CAA)
section 110(l) demonstration submitted
on October 6, 2022. Illinois requests that
EPA approve rule revisions related to
control of volatile organic compound
(VOC) emissions from aerospace
manufacturing and rework facilities into
Illinois’ SIP. These rule revisions are
consistent with the Control Techniques
Guidelines (CTG) for Aerospace
Manufacturing and Rework Operations
published by EPA in 1997, generally
used to meet Reasonably Available
Control Technology (RACT)
requirements, and serve as SIP
strengthening measures for aerospace
facilities located in the Illinois portion
of the St. Louis nonattainment area
(Metro-East area). The Metro-East area
consists of Madison, Monroe, and St.
Clair counties in Illinois. EPA proposed
to approve this action on January 10,
2023, and received no adverse
comments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
May 11, 2023.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (21-2.F)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances which were
the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). This action requires
persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture
(defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these
chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant
new use by this rule. This action further requires that persons not
commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until
they have submitted a Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), and EPA has
conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on
the notice, and has taken any risk management actions as are required
as a result of that determination.
DATES: This rule is effective on June 12, 2023. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on
April 25, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
1. General Applicability
This action may apply to you if you manufacture (import), process,
or use the chemical substances contained in this 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.
2. Applicability to Importers and Exporters
This action may also apply to certain entities through pre-existing
import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical
importers are subject to the import provisions of TSCA section 13 (15
U.S.C. 2612), the requirements promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through
12.127 (see also 19 CFR 127.28), and the EPA policy in support of
import certification at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. Chemical importers
must certify that the shipment of the chemical substance complies with
all applicable rules and orders under TSCA, including regulations
issued under TSCA sections 5, 6, 7 and Title IV.
In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, this action may also apply
to any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that
is the subject of this rule are subject to the export notification
provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)), and must comply
with the export notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart
D.
B. How can I access the docket?
The docket includes information considered by the Agency in
developing the proposed and final rules. The docket for this action,
identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0227,

II. Background
A. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is finalizing SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) for certain
chemical substances which were the subject of PMNs. These SNURs require
persons who intend to manufacture or process any of these chemical
substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use
to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity.
Previously, in the Federal Register of November 17, 2021 (86 FR
64115 (FRL-8985-01-OCSPP)), EPA proposed SNURs for these chemical
substances. More information on the specific chemical substances
subject to this final rule can be found in the Federal Register
document proposing the SNURs. The docket includes information
considered by the Agency in developing the proposed and final rules,
including the public comments received on the proposed rules that are
described in Unit IV.
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. Do the SNUR general provisions apply?
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 SNUN requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as submitters of
PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). In particular, 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),
5(h)(2), 5(h)(3), and 5(h)(5) and the regulations at 40 CFR part 720.
Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury or take such regulatory action as is associated with an
alternative determination before manufacture or processing for the
significant new use can commence. If EPA determines that the
significant new 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
A. Determination Factors
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 the substances, in the context of the four bulleted
TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit.
During its review of the chemical substances that are the subjects
of these SNURs and as further discussed in Unit VI., EPA identified
potential risk concerns associated with other circumstances of use
that, while not intended or reasonably foreseen, may occur in the
future. EPA is designating
[[Page 21482]]
those other circumstances of use as significant new uses.
B. Procedures for Significant New Uses Claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)
By this rule, EPA is establishing certain significant new uses
which have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality
regulations at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 720, subpart E. Absent a
final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim
under 40 CFR part 2 procedures, EPA is required to keep this
information confidential. When this rule was proposed in 2021, EPA
cross referenced 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1), the procedures to deal with the
situation where a specific significant new use is CBI, in order to
apply it other SNURs where certain significant new uses have been
claimed as CBI. Since the proposed rule, however, EPA has finalized
amendments to 40 CFR 721.11 (87 FR 39756, July 5, 2022 (FRL-5605-02-
OCSPP)), which now provides a means by which bona fide submitters can
determine whether their substance is subject to the SNUR and for EPA to
disclose the confidential significant new use designations to a
manufacturer or processor who has established a bona fide intent to
manufacture or process a particular chemical substance. As such, EPA
has removed the proposed references to 40 CFR 721.1725(b)(1) for SNURs
that certain significant new uses have been claimed as CBI because the
procedure in 40 CFR 721.11 now applies to all SNURs containing any CBI,
including the significant new use.
Under these procedures a manufacturer or processor may request EPA
to determine whether a specific use would be a significant new use
under the rule. The manufacturer or processor must show that it has a
bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance and
must identify the specific use for which it intends to manufacture or
process the chemical substance. If EPA concludes that the person has
shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical
substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the
bona fide submission would be a significant new use under the rule.
Since most of the chemical identities of the chemical substances
subject to these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can
combine the bona fide submission under the procedure in 40 CFR 721.11
into a single step to identify if a chemical substance is subject to
part 721 and if a specific use would be a significant new use under the
rule.
IV. Public Comments
EPA received public comments from two identifying entities on the
proposed rules. The Agency's responses are presented in the Response to
Public Comments document that is available in the docket for this
rulemaking. EPA did not make any changes to the requirements presented
in the proposed rules, as described in the response to comments.
V. Substances Subject to This Rule
EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping
requirements for chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In
Unit IV. of the proposed SNURs, EPA provided the following information
for each chemical substance:
PMN number.
Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
Basis for the SNUR.
Potentially useful information.
CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of
this final rule.
The regulatory text section of these rules specifies the activities
designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including
production volume limits and other uses designated in the rules, may be
claimed as CBI.
VI. Rationale and Objectives of the Rule
A. Rationale
The chemical substances that are the subjects of these SNURs
received ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' determinations
under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) based on EPA's review of the intended,
known, and reasonably foreseen conditions of use. However, EPA has
identified other circumstances that, should they occur in the future,
even if not reasonably foreseen, may present risk concerns.
Specifically, EPA has determined that deviations from the protective
measures identified in the PMN submissions could result in changes in
the type or form of exposure to the chemical substances, increased
exposures to the chemical substances, and/or changes in the reasonably
anticipated manner and methods of manufacturing, processing,
distribution in commerce, and disposal of the chemical substances.
These SNURs identify as a significant new use manufacturing,
processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not
conform to the protective measures identified in the submissions. As a
result, those significant new uses cannot occur without first going
through a separate, subsequent EPA review and determination process
associated with a SNUN.
B. Objectives
EPA is issuing these SNURs because the Agency wants:
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 obligated to make a determination under TSCA section
5(a)(3) regarding the use described in the SNUN, under the conditions
of use. The Agency will either determine under section 5(a)(3)(C) that
the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk,
including an unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulation identified as relevant by the Administrator under the
conditions of use, or make a determination under TSCA section
5(a)(3)(A) or (B) and take the required regulatory action associated
with the determination, before manufacture or processing for the
significant new use of the chemical substance can occur.
To be able to complete its review and determination on
each of the PMN substances, while deferring analysis on the significant
new uses proposed in these rules unless and until the Agency receives a
SNUN.
Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that
the chemical substance is listed on the 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. Applicability of the Rules to Uses Occurring Before the Effective
Date of the Final Rule
To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this 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 the chemical substances identified in this rule are added to
the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective,
other persons
[[Page 21483]]
might engage in a use that has been identified as a significant new
use. However, the identities of many of the chemical substances subject
to this rule have been claimed as confidential (per 40 CFR 720.85).
Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly unlikely that any
of the significant new uses described in the regulatory text of this
rule are ongoing.
EPA designated October 12, 2021 (the date of FR publication of the
proposed rule) 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.
Persons who began commercial manufacture or processing of the
chemical substances for a significant new use identified on or after
that date will 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
EPA would have to take action under section 5 allowing manufacture or
processing to proceed.
VIII. Development and Submission of Information
EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require development of
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 to or reasonably ascertainable by them (see 40
CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has the
authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. of the proposed rule
lists potentially useful information for all SNURs listed here.
Descriptions are provided for informational purposes. The potentially
useful information identified in Unit IV. of the proposed rule will be
useful to EPA's evaluation in the event that someone submits a SNUN for
the significant new use. Companies who are considering submitting a
SNUN are encouraged, but not required, to develop the information on
the substance, which may assist with EPA's analysis of the SNUN.
EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to
consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol election. Furthermore,
pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), which pertains to reduction of testing
in vertebrate animals, EPA encourages consultation 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 described in Unit IV. of the
proposed rule may not be the only means of providing information to
evaluate the chemical substance associated with the significant new
uses. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data may increase the
likelihood that EPA will take action under TSCA sections 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.
IX. 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 and 721.25. E-PMN software is available
electronically at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.
X. Economic Analysis
EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical
substances subject to this rule. EPA's complete economic analysis is
available in the docket for this rulemaking.
XI. 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 establishes SNURs for 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)
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. OMB has previously approved the
information collection activities contained in the existing SNUR
regulations under OMB Control No. 2070-0038 (EPA ICR No. 1188.13). If
an entity were to submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is
estimated to be less than 100 hours per response, and the estimated
burden for export notifications is less than 1.5 hours per
notification. In both cases, if the firm submitting either a SNUN or
export notification is already registered in CDX, the burden would be
lower than the presented estimates.
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 the 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.
EPA is amending the table in 40 CFR part 9 to list the OMB approval
number for the information collection requirements contained in this
action. This listing of the OMB control numbers and their subsequent
codification in the CFR satisfies the display requirements of PRA and
OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. The Information
Collection Request (ICR) covering the SNUR activities was previously
subject to public notice and comment prior to OMB approval, and
[[Page 21484]]
given the technical nature of the table, EPA finds that further notice
and comment to amend it is unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that
there is ``good cause'' under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to amend this
table without further notice and comment.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Pursuant to RFA section 605(b), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., I hereby
certify that promulgation of this SNUR 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.
Although some small entities may decide to pursue a significant new use
in the future, EPA cannot presently determine how many, if any, there
may be. However, 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, 12 in FY2016, 13 in FY2017, and 11 in FY2018.
Only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition, the
Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the
potential economic impacts of complying with this 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 action does 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 will not have federalism implications because it is not
expected to 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 will not have Tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes,
significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian Tribal
governments, and does not involve or impose any requirements that
affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health 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 a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA
section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not apply to this action.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not entail special considerations of environmental
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994).
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), and EPA
will submit a rule report containing this rule and other required
information to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
