The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. Abstract: EPA relies on scientific information to achieve its’ mission of protecting human health and the environment. Participatory science and crowdsourcing techniques allow the Agency to collect qualitative and quantitative data that could inform scientific research, assessments, or environmental screening; validate environmental models or tools; or enhance the quantity and quality of data collected across the country’s diverse communities and ecosystems in support of the Agency’s mission. Information gathered under this generic ICR may be used by the Agency to support the activities listed above. Collections under this generic ICR will be: (i) from participants who actively seek to participate on their own initiative through an open and transparent process (the Agency does not select participants or require participation); (ii) low-burden for participants; (iii) low-cost for both the participants and the Federal Government; and (iv) available to support the scientific research (including assessments, environmental screening, tools, models, etc.) of the Agency, states, Tribal or local entities where data collection occurs. EPA may, by virtue of collaborating with nonfederal entities, sponsor the collection of this type of information in connection with participatory science projects. When applicable, all such collections will comply with Agency policies and regulations related to human subjects research and will follow the established approval paths through EPA’s Human Subjects Research Review Official. Finally, personally identifiable information will only be collected when necessary and in accordance with applicable federal procedures and policies. If a new collection is not within the parameters of this generic ICR, the Agency will submit a separate information collection request to OMB for approval. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Participants/respondents will be individuals, not specific entities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 17,500 (total).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Executive Summary A. What action is the Agency taking? This document provides the receipt and status reports for the period from 7/ 01/2023 to 7/31/2023. 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 E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 160 / Monday, August 21, 2023 / Notices (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/tsca-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, 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, 56817 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-chemicalsunder-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.

The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S. Code 10. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the chartered Science Advisory Board will hold a public meeting to receive briefings from EPA and deliberate on the following topics. (1) The SAB will discuss whether to undertake a proposed self-initiated project to provide advice to EPA on environmental justice analysis. (2) The PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 SAB will conduct quality reviews of three draft reports developed by SAB panels. The draft reports are titled: Review of EPA’s Standardized Framework for Sewage Sludge Chemical Risk Assessment, Review of the Updated Methodology of EPA’s Environmental Justice Screen (EJScreen) Mapping and Screening Tool (version 2.1), and Review of EPA’s draft IRIS Toxicological Review of Hexavalent Chromium. The SAB quality review process ensures that draft reports developed by SAB panels, committees, or workgroups are reviewed by the Chartered SAB before being finalized and transmitted to the EPA Administrator. (3) The SAB will discuss a draft commentary developed by an SAB workgroup on Volume Requirements for 2023 and Beyond under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RIN 2060–AV14). (4) The SAB will discuss recommendations received from the SAB Workgroup for Review of Science Supporting EPA Decisions concerning SAB review of EPA planned regulatory actions. Under the SAB’s authorizing statute, the SAB ‘‘may make available to the Administrator, within the time specified by the Administrator, its advice and comments on the adequacy of the scientific and technical basis’’ of proposed rules. The SAB Workgroup for Review of Science Supporting EPA Decisions (SAB SSD Workgroup) is charged with identifying EPA planned actions that may warrant SAB review. Availability of meeting materials: All meeting materials, including the agenda, will be available on the SAB web page at https://sab.epa.gov. Procedures for providing public input: Public comment for consideration by EPA’s Federal advisory committees and panels has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a Federal advisory committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to the EPA. Members of the public can submit relevant comments pertaining to the committee’s charge or meeting materials. Input from the public to the E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the 
period from 7/01/2023 to 7/31/2023. 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

[[Page 56817]]

(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/tsca-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, 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.
