Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information for March 2023, 24416-24420 [2023-08303]

Download as PDF 24416 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 76 / Thursday, April 20, 2023 / Notices in evaluating and deciding various authorization and waiver requests under CAA section 209. EPA also relies on the extensive body of D.C. Circuit case law developed by that court since 1979 as it has reviewed and decided judicial challenges to these actions. As such, judicial review of any challenge to this action in the D.C. Circuit will centralize review of national issues in that court and advance other Congressional principles underlying this CAA provision of avoiding piecemeal litigation, furthering judicial economy, and eliminating the risk of inconsistent judgments. For these reasons, the Administrator is exercising the complete discretion afforded to him by the CAA and hereby finds that this final action is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1) and is hereby publishing that finding in the Federal Register. Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by June 20, 2023. VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews As with past authorization and waiver decisions, this action is not a rule as defined by Executive Order 12866. Therefore, it is exempt from review by the Office of Management and Budget as required for rules and regulations by Executive Order 12866. In addition, this action is not a rule as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Therefore, EPA has not prepared a supporting regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of this action on small business entities. Further, the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801, et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, does not apply because this action is not a rule for purposes of 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Executive Summary A. What action is the Agency taking? This document provides the receipt and status reports for the period from 3/ PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 01/2023 to 3/31/2023. The Agency is providing notice of receipt of PMNs, SNUNs, and MCANs (including amended notices and test information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently concluded review. EPA is also providing information on its website about cases reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ MCAN notices on its website at: https:// www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a weekly basis. B. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a chemical substance may be either an ‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a ‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA’s TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new chemical substance,’’ while a chemical substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https:// www.epa.gov/inventory. Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3). TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM 20APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 76 / Thursday, April 20, 2023 / Notices use, and disposal of the chemical will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/chemicals-undertsca. Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently concluded review. C. Does this action apply to me? This action provides information that is directed to the public in general. D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork burdens? No. E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ commenting-epa-dockets. II. Status Reports In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In 1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (see the Federal Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 25798) (FRL–4942–7)). Since the passage of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ MCAN notices on its website at: https:// www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals- 24417 under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a weekly basis. III. Receipt Reports For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical substance identity. As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the information in the table is the specific information provided by the submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is generic information because the specific information provided by the submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by the letter ‘‘A’’ (e.g., P–18– 1234A). The version column designates submissions in sequence as ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’, ‘‘3’’, etc. Note that in some cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data in the tables. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 TABLE I—PMN/SNUN/MCANS APPROVED * FROM 03/01/2023 TO 03/31/2023 Case No. Version J–21–0019A 2 J–23–0001A Received date Manufacturer Use Chemical substance 06/23/2021 CBI ...............................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the 
period from 3/01/2023 to 3/31/2023. The Agency is providing notice of 
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs, and MCANs (including amended notices and test 
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech 
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a 
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical 
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently 
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases 
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN 
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA 
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's 
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a 
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical 
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that 
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) 
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical 
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an 
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more 
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new 
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to 
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for 
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by 
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or SNUN, as 
appropriate, before initiating the activity. EPA will review the 
notice, make a risk determination on the chemical substance or 
significant new use, and take appropriate action as described in TSCA 
section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon 
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or 
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a 
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for 
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture, 
processing, distribution in commerce,

[[Page 24417]]

use, and disposal of the chemical will not present an unreasonable risk 
of injury to health or the environment. This is referred to as a test 
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the 
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/chemicals-under-tsca.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to 
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice 
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test 
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech 
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs 
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report 
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or 
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in 
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork 
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not 
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. 
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be 
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark 
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify 
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that 
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment 
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that 
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for 
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be 
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 
2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the 
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In 
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information 
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such 
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (see the Federal 
Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7)). Since the passage 
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in 
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in 
particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an 
effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this 
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of 
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make 
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases 
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN 
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA 
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's 
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a 
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA 
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the 
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the 
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number 
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an 
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was 
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting 
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses 
identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical 
substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the 
information in the table is the specific information provided by the 
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is 
generic information because the specific information provided by the 
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions 
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are 
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by 
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates 
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some 
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is 
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid 
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may 
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data 
in the tables.
