Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 84578 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 23, 2024 / Notices C. Sampling Criteria One accrediting body (EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0006) suggested that the EPA consider adopting the criteria for Field Sampling and Measurement Organizations (FSMOs) and the oversight of FSMOs from the NELAC Institute (TNI) Field Sampling and Measurement Organization Sector ‘‘Volume 1 General Requirements for Field Sampling and Measurement Organizations’’ and ‘‘Volume 2 General Requirements for Accreditation Bodies Accrediting Field Sampling and Measurement Organizations’’ as a way to reduce uncertainty of results due to the quality of the samples. EPA accepted this suggestion by adding a recommended reference to NELAC Institute (TNI) Field Sampling and Measurement Organization Standards ‘‘Volume 1: General Requirements for Field Sampling and Measurement Organizations’’. EPA did not include reference to ‘‘Volume 2: General Requirements for Accreditation Bodies Accrediting Field Sampling and Measurement Organizations’’ because EPA determined that volume was out of scope for the LQSR 4.0 due to its focus on accreditation bodies instead of laboratories. In reference to clearance testing on floors (as discussed in 40 CFR 745.227(e)), one commenter (EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0003) recommended compositing of four wipe samples from each floor to assure that clearance failure, if present, is determined. The commenter stated that clearance should be performed in conformance with Practices E2271/E2271M and E3074/ E3074M with method quantitation limits (MQLs) determined for the resulting composited wipe samples. While HUD and EPA regulations allow composite sampling, HUD’s ‘‘Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of LeadBased Paint Hazards in Housing’’ generally do not encourage composite sampling and most laboratories discourage their clients from submitting composite dust-wipe samples. EPA is not finalizing amendments to the LQSR 4.0 which would compel risk assessors to take composite samples, including how either single surface or composite samples are collected, analyzed, or interpreted. This same commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023–0456–0003) requested EPA modify the Glossary term for ‘‘Composite sample’’ from ‘‘A sample composed as a result of collection of more than one sample of the same medium (e.g., dust) from the same type of surface (e.g., floor, interior window sill, or window trough) so that multiple samples can be analyzed as a VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:48 Oct 22, 2024 Jkt 265001 single sample’’ to ‘‘the single sample resulting from the combination of individual samples collected from different sections of the same area.’’ For reasons previously mentioned, EPA is not finalizing this recommended change. This same commenter (EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0003) provided edits to section 5.6.1.4 Sample Custody Procedures of the draft LQSR 4.0, which would change the chain of custody protocols from ‘‘strongly recommended’’ to ‘‘must conform to ASTM D4840,’’ stating handling needs to be ‘‘beyond doubt.’’ EPA reviewed ASTM D4840 and has adapted language from it to modify this section to state that chain of custody protocols shall ‘‘provide sufficient assurances, both legal and technical, that assertions made about a sample and its measurable characteristics can be supported to an acceptable level of certainty.’’ Lastly, two commenters (EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0003, EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0005) suggested EPA define ELPAT as ‘‘ELPAT: Environmental Lead Proficiency Analytical Testing (ELPAT) Program operated by AIHA Proficiency Analytical Testing Programs (AIHA PATP).’’ Successful participation in this proficiency testing program on a quarterly basis is required for all laboratories recognized by EPA in the NLLAP.’’ EPA accepted this suggested edit. D. Referencing Standards The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) requires federal agencies to use technical standards already developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies if compliance would not be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. The current LQSR guidance (LQSR 3.0), refers to a now outdated 2005 version of a laboratory quality standard, International Organization for Standardization and International Electrochemical Commission (ISO/IEC) Standard 17025: 2005 (E) ’’General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories’’. In addition, there are other laboratory standards in LQSR 3.0 that are already in practice by NLLAP participating laboratories and directly related to laboratory lead analysis, making parts of the elements in LQSR 3.0 duplicative. Therefore, EPA proposed to streamline the LQSR by conforming and referencing the updated ISO 17025: 2017 (E) and ASTM E1583–21a. OPPT has reviewed the updated laboratory standards and identified any gaps or PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 areas where additional clarification or criteria are needed between ISO 17025: 2017 and ASTM E1583–21a and the proposed LQSR 4.0. These additional clarifications or criteria are included throughout the proposed draft. One commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT– 2023–0456–0003) suggested that LQSR 4.0 simply state the requirement that the laboratory be accredited as conforming to ISO/IEC 17025 and ASTM E1583 as the main prerequisite to recognition. The commenter notes that EPA refers to the standards as ‘‘ISO/IEC 17025:2017(E)’’ and recommends instead ‘‘ISO/IEC 17025’’ for simplicity’s sake. Similarly, the reference to the current ASTM Standard may show the fact that it is an ASTM Standard (i.e., ASTM E1583) or, if previously discussed, show as the alpha-numeric designator of the Standard (i.e., E1583). EPA thanks the commenter for their suggestions and has made these edits in the final LQSR 4.0. This commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT– 2023–0456–0003) also provided a number of editorial comments to alleviate confusion over which sections of the standards do not or may not apply. The commenter (EPA–HQ– OPPT–2023–0456–0003) recommended that EPA remove references to specific sections of ISO/IEC 17025 or ASTM E1583 stating that both ISO/IEC 17025 and E1583 are normative references, and both require conformance, and that further citation to specific sections could falsely seem to suggest that other sections of the standards do not or may not apply. EPA accepted those edits throughout the final LQSR 4.0. The commenter (EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023– 0456–0003) also provided a number of other relevant standards for EPA to consider for future actions. EPA appreciates the references and will consider these in future actions affecting NLLAP laboratories. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. Dated: October 18, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:48 Oct 22, 2024 Jkt 265001 A. What action is the Agency taking? This document provides the receipt and status reports for the period from 9/ 1/2024 to 9/30/2024. 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/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 PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 84579 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. E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM 23OCN1 84580 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 23, 2024 / Notices 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-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.

You may also visit EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/ climate-hfcs-reduction for further information. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Subsection (e)(2)(D)(i) of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 (AIM Act) directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine, by October 1 of each calendar year, the quantity of allowances for the production and consumption of regulated substances that may be used for the following calendar year. EPA has codified the production and consumption baselines and phasedown schedules for regulated substances in 40 CFR 84.7. Under the phasedown schedule, for 2025, total production allowances may not exceed 229,521,263 metric tons of exchange value equivalent (MTEVe) and total consumption allowances may not exceed 181,522,990 MTEVe. EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 84, subpart A, outline the process by which the Agency determines the number of allowances each entity is allocated. EPA allocated allowances consistent with the regulatory requirements, and has posted PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 entity-specific allowance allocations on its website at https://www.epa.gov/ climate-hfcs-reduction. An allowance allocated under the AIM Act does not constitute a property right and is a limited authorization for the production or consumption of a regulated substance. Note that while allowances may be transferred or conferred once they are allocated, they can only be expended to cover imports and production in the calendar year for which they are allocated. In other words, calendar year 2025 allowances may only be expended for production and import of bulk HFCs between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. Application-Specific Allowances EPA established the methodology for issuing application-specific allowances in the 2021 final rule titled Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons: Establishing the Allowance Allocation and Trading Program Under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (86 FR 55116, Oct. 5, 2021) and codified the methodology for allocations in 40 CFR 84.13. Because application-specific allowances can be expended to either produce or import HFCs, and application-specific allowances must be provided from within the overall annual production and consumption caps, EPA subtracts the amount of applicationspecific allowances allocated from both the production and consumption general allowance pools. EPA issues application-specific allowances to end users in five applications established by the AIM Act: propellants in metered dose inhalers (MDIs), defense sprays, structural composite preformed polyurethane foam for marine use and trailer use, etching of semiconductor material or wafers and the cleaning of E:\FR\FM\23OCN1.SGM 23OCN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the 
period from 9/1/2024 to 9/30/2024. 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/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.

[[Page 84580]]

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.
