VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely proposes to approve State law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. For that reason, this proposed action: • Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023); • Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); • Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); • Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); • Does not have federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program; • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and • Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act. In addition, this proposed SIP will not apply on any Indian reservation land or VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 in any other area where EPA or an Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rules do not have Tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address ‘‘disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects’’ of their actions on communities with EJ concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. Executive Order 14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) builds on and supplements E.O. 12898 and defines EJ as, among other things, the just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of income, race, color, national origin, or Tribal affiliation, or disability in agency decision-making and other Federal activities that affect human health and the environment. The NJDEP considered EJ as part of its SIP submittal given that the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither prohibit nor require an evaluation. The EPA’s review of the NJDEP’s EJ considerations is described above in the section titled, ‘‘Environmental Justice Considerations.’’ The consideration was done for the purpose of providing additional context and information about this rulemaking to the public, not as a basis of the action. The EPA is taking action under the CAA on bases independent of the consideration of EJ. Due to the nature of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area. In addition, there is no information in the record upon which this decision is based that is inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898/14096 of achieving EJ for communities with EJ concerns.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a significant new use by this rulemaking to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA’s evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a review of the required notification, made an appropriate determination regarding that notification, and taken such actions as required by that determination. DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 16, 2025. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2024–0079, at https://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Executive Summary A. 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 factors in TSCA section 5(a)(2) (see also the discussion in Unit II.). B. What action is the Agency taking? EPA is proposing SNURs for the chemical substances discussed in Unit III. These SNURs, if finalized as proposed, would 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. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 C. Does this action apply to me? 1. General Applicability This action applies to you if you manufacture, process, or use the chemical substances contained in this proposed rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include: • Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical manufacturing and petroleum refineries. 2. Applicability to Importers and Exporters This action may also apply to certain entities through pre-existing import VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 certification and export notification requirements under TSCA (https:// www.epa.gov/tsca-import-exportrequirements). Chemical importers are subject to TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612), the requirements in 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127, 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. Pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance that is the subject of this proposed rule on or after January 16, 2025 are subject to 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. D. What are the incremental economic impacts of this action? EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN reporting requirements for potential manufacturers (including importers) and processors of the chemical substances subject to these proposed SNURs. This analysis, which is available in the docket, is briefly summarized here. 1. Estimated Costs for SNUN Submissions If a SNUN is submitted, costs are an estimated $45,000 per SNUN submission for large business submitters and $14,500 for small business submitters. These estimates include the cost to prepare and submit the SNUN (including registration for EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX)), and the payment of a user fee. Businesses that submit a SNUN would be subject to either a $37,000 user fee required by 40 CFR 700.45(c)(2)(ii) and (d), or, if they are a small business as defined at 13 CFR 121.201, a reduced user fee of $6,480 (40 CFR 700.45(c)(1)(ii) and (d)) per fiscal year 2022. The costs of submission for SNUNs will not be incurred by any company unless a company decides to pursue a significant new use as defined in these SNURs. Additionally, these estimates reflect the costs and fees as they are known at the time of this rulemaking. 2. Estimated Costs for Export Notifications EPA has also evaluated the potential costs associated with the export notification requirements under TSCA PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 102047 section 12(b) and the implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. For persons exporting a substance that is the subject of a SNUR, a one-time notice to EPA must be provided for the first export or intended export to a particular country. The total costs of export notification will vary by chemical, depending on the number of required notifications (i.e., the number of countries to which the chemical is exported). While EPA is unable to make any estimate of the likely number of export notifications for the chemical substances covered by these SNURs, as stated in the accompanying economic analysis, the estimated cost of the export notification requirement on a per unit basis is approximately $106. E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1. Submitting CBI Do not submit CBI to EPA through email or https://www.regulations.gov.

Background This unit provides general information about SNURs. For additional information about EPA’s new chemical program go to https:// www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca. A. Significant New Use 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, E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1 102048 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Proposed Rules 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 and discussed in Unit III. These proposed SNURs include PMN substances that are subject to orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). The TSCA orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). B. Rationale and Objectives of the SNURs ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 1. Rationale Under TSCA, no person may manufacture a new chemical substance or manufacture or process a chemical substance for a significant new use until EPA makes a determination as described in TSCA section 5(a) and takes any required action. The issuance of a SNUR is not a risk determination itself, only a notification requirement for ‘‘significant new uses,’’ so that the Agency has the opportunity to review the SNUN for the significant new use and make a TSCA section 5(a)(3) risk determination. During review of the PMNs submitted that are the subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA concluded that regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the chemical substances. Based on the findings outlined in Unit III., TSCA section 5(e) Orders requiring the use of appropriate exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. As a general matter, EPA believes it is necessary to follow the TSCA Orders with a SNUR that identifies the absence of those protective measures as significant new uses to ensure that all manufacturers and processors—not just the original submitter—are held to the same standard. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 2. Objectives EPA is proposing these SNURs because the Agency wants: • To identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). • To have an opportunity to review and evaluate data submitted in a SNUN before the 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 TSCA 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. Issuance of a proposed SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. C. Significant New Uses Claimed as CBI EPA is proposing to establish certain significant new uses which have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 703. Absent a final determination or other disposition of the confidentiality claim under these regulations, EPA is required to keep this information confidential. EPA promulgated a procedure at 40 CFR 721.11 to deal with the situation where a specific significant new use is CBI. Under these procedures. a manufacturer or processor may request EPA to identify the confidential 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. If EPA concludes that the person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance, EPA will identify the confidential significant new use to PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 that person. 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. D. Applicability of General Provisions General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. These provisions describe persons subject to SNURs, recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule. Pursuant to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to SNURs must comply with the same 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. In addition, provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury under the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination under TSCA section 5 before the manufacture (including import) or processing for the significant new use can commence. If EPA determines that the significant new use of the chemical substance 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. As discussed in Unit I.C.2., persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance identified in a proposed or final SNUR are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b), and persons who import a chemical substance identified in a final SNUR are subject to the TSCA section 13 import certification requirements. See also https:// www.epa.gov/tsca-import-exportrequirements. E. Applicability of the Proposed SNURs 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 proposed rule have undergone premanufacture review and E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Proposed Rules received determinations under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C). TSCA Orders have been issued for these chemical substances and the PMN submitters are required by the TSCA Orders to submit a SNUN before undertaking activities that would be designated as significant new uses in these SNURs. Additionally, the identities of many of the chemical substances subject to this proposed rule have been claimed as confidential per 40 CFR 720.85, further reducing the likelihood that another party would manufacture or process the substances for an activity that would be designated as a significant new use. Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses identified in Unit III. are ongoing. When the chemical substances identified in Unit III. are added to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified as a significant new use. Persons who begin manufacture or processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use identified on or after the designated cutoff date specified in Unit III.A. would have to cease any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their activities, these persons would have to first comply with all applicable SNUR notification requirements and EPA would have to take action under TSCA section 5 allowing manufacture or processing to proceed. F. Important Information About SNUN Submissions 1. SNUN Submissions SNUNs must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710–25, generated using ePMN 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. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 2. 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 In the absence of a rule, TSCA 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. To assist with EPA’s analysis of the SNUN, submitters are encouraged, but not required, to provide the potentially useful information identified for the chemical substance in Unit III.C. EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. 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 III. 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 that provide detailed information on the human exposure and environmental release that may result from the significant new use of the chemical substances. III. Chemical Substances Subject to These Proposed SNURs A. What is the designated cutoff date for ongoing uses? EPA designates December 17, 2024 as the cutoff date for determining whether the new use is ongoing. This PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 102049 designation is explained in more detail in Unit II.E. B. What information is provided for each chemical substance? For each chemical substance identified in Unit III.C., EPA provides the following information: • PMN number (the proposed CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of the proposed rule). • Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is claimed as CBI). • Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) (if assigned for nonconfidential chemical identities). • Basis for the action (effective date of and basis for the TSCA Order). • Potentially useful information. The regulatory text section of the proposed rule specifies the activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, including production volume limits and other uses designated in the proposed rules, may be claimed as CBI. These proposed rules include PMN substances that are subject to orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). Those TSCA Orders require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4). C. Which chemical substances are subject to these proposed rules? The substances subject to the proposed rules in this document are as follows: PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P–18–127 (40 CFR 721.12043) Chemical Name: Heptane, 2-methoxy2-methyl-. CASRN: 76589–16–7. Effective Date of TSCA Order: December 15, 2023. Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as a fragrance for household and consumer products, mainly laundry detergents. Based on submitted test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for skin sensitization. Based on comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified concerns for systemic and developmental effects. Based on submitted test data on the PMN substance, EPA predicts toxicity to E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1 102050 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Proposed Rules ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 210 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: • Manufacture of the PMN substance only by import into the United States in a solution of no greater than 5% by weight (i.e., no domestic manufacture); • Processing of the PMN substance only in a solution of no greater than 5% by weight of the PMN substance; • Processing for use or use of the PMN substance in consumer products only if the concentration of the PMN substance is less than 1% by weight; • No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream containing the PMN substance, in surface water concentrations that exceed 210 ppb; • Use of personal protective equipment where there is a potential for dermal exposure; and • Establishment of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. The proposed SNUR would designate as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of developmental toxicity, specific target organ toxicity, and pulmonary effects testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order’s restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information. PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P–18–325 (40 CFR 721.12044) Chemical Name: Benzenesulfonic acid, alkyl-, compd. with 1,1′iminobis[2-propanol] (1:1) (generic). CASRN: Not available. Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 9, 2024. Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as an industrial crosslinking catalyst. Based on the structure of the anion, EPA identified VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 concerns for lung toxicity (surfactant effects). Based on test data for the neutral form of the cation and analogues for the anion, EPA also identified concerns for skin and eye irritation, and systemic and reproductive effects. Based on comparison to analogous anionic surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 0.4 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: • No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in any manner that results in inhalation exposure to the PMN substance; • No processing for use or use of the PMN substance other than as an industrial cross-linking catalyst; • No release of the PMN substances, or any waste stream containing the PMN substances, into waters of the United States; • Use of personal protective equipment where there is a potential for dermal exposure; and • Establishment of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. The proposed SNUR would designate as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of skin irritation/corrosion, eye irritation/ corrosion, pulmonary effects, specific target organ toxicity, and aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order’s restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information. PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P–20–14 (40 CFR 721.12045) Chemical Name: Sugars, polymer with alkanetriamine (generic). CASRN: Not available. Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 27, 2023.

Based on OECD QSAR Toolbox results and the structural alert for diisocyanates, EPA has also identified E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1 102060 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Proposed Rules ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 concerns for dermal and respiratory sensitization. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: • No processing for use or use of the PMN substance in a consumer product; • No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in any manner that results in inhalation exposure to the PMN substance; • Use of personal protective equipment where there is a potential for dermal exposure; and • Establishment of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS. The proposed SNUR would designate as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of specific target organ toxicity, pulmonary effects, and skin sensitization testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order’s restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information. PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P–23–172 (40 CFR 721.12076) Chemical Name: Sulfonium, tricarbocyclic-, alkylcarbomonocyclicpolyfluoro-heteropolycyclic-alkyl sulfonate (1:1), polymer with alkylaryl and carbomonocyclic alkylalkanoate, diMe 2,2′-(1,2-diazenediyl)bis[2alkylalkanoate]-initiated (generic). CASRN: Not available. Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 29, 2024. Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-confidential) use of the PMN substance will be for photolithography. Based on the physical/chemical properties of the PMN substance (as described in the New Chemical Program’s PBT category at 64 FR 60194; November 1999) and test data on structurally similar substances, the PMN substance is a potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 and toxic (PBT) chemical. EPA estimates that the PMN substance will persist in the environment for more than six months and estimates unknown bioaccumulation. Based on comparison to analogous sulfonium compounds, EPA has identified concerns for acute toxicity, irritation to the skin and respiratory tract, eye corrosion, neurological effects, and systemic effects for the sulfonium cation. Based on comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified concerns for genetic toxicity. Based on the photoreactivity of the PMN substance, EPA has also identified concerns for photosensitization. Based on a potential incineration product (trifluroacetate), EPA has also identified concerns for local, neurological, developmental and systemic effects via inhalation exposure. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires: • No manufacture of the PMN substance beyond the time limits specified in the Order without submittal to EPA the results of certain testing described in the Testing section of the Order; • Use of personal protective equipment where there is a potential for dermal exposure; • Establishment of a hazard communication program, including human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS; • No modification of the processing of the PMN substance in any way that generates a vapor, dust, mist, or aerosol in a non-enclosed process; • Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use listed in the Order; • No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import only); • Import of the PMN substance only in solution or in sealed containers weighing 5 kilograms or less; and • No exceedance of the confidential annual importation volume listed the Order. The proposed SNUR would designate as a ‘‘significant new use’’ the absence of these protective measures. Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain information about the physical/chemical properties, fate, bioaccumulation, environmental hazard, and human health effects of the PMN substance may be potentially useful in support of a request by the PMN submitter to modify the Order, or PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 if a manufacturer or processor is considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the time limits specified in the Order without performing the required Tier I and Tier II testing outlined in the Testing section of the Order. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at https://www.epa.gov/lawsregulations-and-executive-orders. A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review This action proposes to establish 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), as amended by Executive Order 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023). B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The information collection requirements related to SNURs have already been approved by OMB pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 2070–0038 (EPA ICR No. 1188). This action does not impose any burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average between 30 and 170 hours per submission. This burden estimate includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit the required SNUN. EPA always welcomes your feedback on the burden estimates. Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and any suggested methods for improving the collection instruments or instruction or minimizing respondent burden, E:\FR\FM\17DEP1.SGM 17DEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2024 / Proposed Rules ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 including through the use of automated collection techniques. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 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, EPA has concluded 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 16 in Federal fiscal year (FY) FY2018, five in FY2019, seven in FY2020, 13 in FY2021, 11 in FY2022, and 15 in FY2023, and only a fraction of these submissions were from small businesses. In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by reducing the SNUN submission fee from $37,000 to $6,480. This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping cost of submitting a SNUN to about $14,500 per SNUN submission for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying with these proposed SNURs 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 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) This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or more (in 1995 dollars) in any one year as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531– 1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 Based on EPA’s experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by SNURs, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by these SNURs. In addition, the estimated costs of this action to the private sector do not exceed $183 million or more in any one year (the 1995 dollars are adjusted to 2023 dollars for inflation using the GDP implicit price deflator). The estimated costs for this action are discussed in Unit I.D. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action will not have federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), 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. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply to this action. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action will not have Tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it is not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes, 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 do not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it does not concern an environmental health or safety risk. Since this action does not concern a human health risk, EPA’s 2021 Policy on Children’s Health also does not apply. Although the establishment of these SNURs do not address an existing children’s environmental health concern because the chemical uses involved are not ongoing uses, SNURs require that persons 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 rulemaking. This notification allows EPA to assess PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 102061 the intended uses to identify potential risks and take appropriate actions before the activities commence. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) This action does not involve any technical standards subject to NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All EPA believes that this type of action does not concern human health or environmental conditions and therefore cannot be evaluated with respect to the potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with environmental justice concerns in accordance with Executive Orders 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) and 14096 (88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023). Although this action does not concern human health or environmental conditions, the premanufacture notifications required by these SNURs will allow EPA to assess the intended uses to identify potential disproportionate risks and take appropriate actions before the activities commence.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:38 Dec 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee (Bombus suckleyi), an invertebrate species from North America, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the species is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the species as an endangered species under the Act. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act’s protections to the species. Due to the current lack of data sufficient to perform required analyses, we conclude that the designation of critical habitat for the species is not determinable at this time. DATES: We will accept comments received or postmarked on or before February 18, 2025. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m. eastern time on the closing date.

Under the Act, a species warrants listing if it meets the definition of an endangered species (in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range) or a threatened species (likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range). If we determine that a species warrants listing, we must list the species promptly and designate the species’ critical habitat to the maximum extent prudent and determinable. We have determined that Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee meets the Act’s definition of an endangered species; therefore, we are proposing to list it as such. Listing a species as an endangered or threatened species can be completed only by issuing a rule through the Administrative Procedure Act rulemaking process (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.). What this document does. We propose to list Suckley’s cuckoo bumble bee as an endangered species under the Act. The basis for our action. Under the Act, we may determine that a species is an endangered or a threatened species because of any of five factors: (A) The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range; (B) overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; (C) disease or predation; (D) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or (E) other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (24-
3.5e)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances 
that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also 
subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require 
persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include 
import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity 
that is proposed as a significant new use by this rulemaking to notify 
EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required 
notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use 
for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing 
for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a 
review of the required notification, made an appropriate determination 
regarding that notification, and taken such actions as required by that 
determination.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 16, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. 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 factors in TSCA section 5(a)(2) (see 
also the discussion in Unit II.).

B. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing SNURs for the chemical substances discussed in 
Unit III. These SNURs, if finalized as proposed, would 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.

C. Does this action apply to me?

1. General Applicability
    This action applies to you if you manufacture, process, or use the 
chemical substances contained in this proposed rule. The following list 
of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not 
intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers 
determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected 
entities may include:
     Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject 
chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical 
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
2. Applicability to Importers and Exporters
    This action may also apply to certain entities through pre-existing 
import certification and export notification requirements under TSCA 
(https://www.epa.gov/tsca-import-export-requirements).
    Chemical importers are subject to TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612), 
the requirements in 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127, 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.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 721.20, any persons who export or intend to 
export a chemical substance that is the subject of this proposed rule 
on or after January 16, 2025 are subject to 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.

D. What are the incremental economic impacts of this action?

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN 
reporting requirements for potential manufacturers (including 
importers) and processors of the chemical substances subject to these 
proposed SNURs. This analysis, which is available in the docket, is 
briefly summarized here.
1. Estimated Costs for SNUN Submissions
    If a SNUN is submitted, costs are an estimated $45,000 per SNUN 
submission for large business submitters and $14,500 for small business 
submitters. These estimates include the cost to prepare and submit the 
SNUN (including registration for EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX)), 
and the payment of a user fee. Businesses that submit a SNUN would be 
subject to either a $37,000 user fee required by 40 CFR 
700.45(c)(2)(ii) and (d), or, if they are a small business as defined 
at 13 CFR 121.201, a reduced user fee of $6,480 (40 CFR 
700.45(c)(1)(ii) and (d)) per fiscal year 2022. The costs of submission 
for SNUNs will not be incurred by any company unless a company decides 
to pursue a significant new use as defined in these SNURs. 
Additionally, these estimates reflect the costs and fees as they are 
known at the time of this rulemaking.
2. Estimated Costs for Export Notifications
    EPA has also evaluated the potential costs associated with the 
export notification requirements under TSCA section 12(b) and the 
implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. For persons 
exporting a substance that is the subject of a SNUR, a one-time notice 
to EPA must be provided for the first export or intended export to a 
particular country. The total costs of export notification will vary by 
chemical, depending on the number of required notifications (i.e., the 
number of countries to which the chemical is exported). While EPA is 
unable to make any estimate of the likely number of export 
notifications for the chemical substances covered by these SNURs, as 
stated in the accompanying economic analysis, the estimated cost of the 
export notification requirement on a per unit basis is approximately 
$106.

II. Background

    This unit provides general information about SNURs. For additional 
information about EPA's new chemical program go to https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.

A. Significant New Use 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,

[[Page 102048]]

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 and discussed in Unit 
III.
    These proposed SNURs include PMN substances that are subject to 
orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the 
determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). The TSCA orders 
require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate 
the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify as 
significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution 
in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions 
imposed by the underlying TSCA orders, consistent with TSCA section 
5(f)(4).

B. Rationale and Objectives of the SNURs

1. Rationale
    Under TSCA, no person may manufacture a new chemical substance or 
manufacture or process a chemical substance for a significant new use 
until EPA makes a determination as described in TSCA section 5(a) and 
takes any required action. The issuance of a SNUR is not a risk 
determination itself, only a notification requirement for ``significant 
new uses,'' so that the Agency has the opportunity to review the SNUN 
for the significant new use and make a TSCA section 5(a)(3) risk 
determination.
    During review of the PMNs submitted that are the subject to these 
proposed SNURs, EPA concluded that regulation was warranted under TSCA 
section 5(e), pending the development of information sufficient to make 
reasoned evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the 
chemical substances. Based on the findings outlined in Unit III., TSCA 
section 5(e) Orders requiring the use of appropriate exposure controls 
were negotiated with the PMN submitters. As a general matter, EPA 
believes it is necessary to follow the TSCA Orders with a SNUR that 
identifies the absence of those protective measures as significant new 
uses to ensure that all manufacturers and processors--not just the 
original submitter--are held to the same standard.
2. Objectives
    EPA is proposing these SNURs because the Agency wants:
     To identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, 
processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not 
conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, 
consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
     To have an opportunity to review and evaluate data 
submitted in a SNUN before the 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 TSCA 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.
    Issuance of a proposed SNUR for a chemical substance does not 
signify that the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical 
Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a 
chemical substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.

C. Significant New Uses Claimed as CBI

    EPA is proposing to establish certain significant new uses which 
have been claimed as CBI subject to Agency confidentiality regulations 
at 40 CFR part 2 and 40 CFR part 703. Absent a final determination or 
other disposition of the confidentiality claim under these regulations, 
EPA is required to keep this information confidential. EPA promulgated 
a procedure at 40 CFR 721.11 to deal with the situation where a 
specific significant new use is CBI. Under these procedures. a 
manufacturer or processor may request EPA to identify the confidential 
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. If EPA concludes that the person has shown a bona 
fide intent to manufacture or process the chemical substance, EPA will 
identify the confidential significant new use to that person. 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.

D. Applicability of General Provisions

    General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. 
These provisions describe persons subject to SNURs, recordkeeping 
requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and applicability 
of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date of the rule. 
Pursuant to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to SNURs must comply with 
the same 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. 
In addition, provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 
700.
    Once EPA receives a SNUN, EPA must either determine that the 
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of 
injury under the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take 
such regulatory action as is associated with an alternative 
determination under TSCA section 5 before the manufacture (including 
import) or processing for the significant new use can commence. If EPA 
determines that the significant new use of the chemical substance 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.
    As discussed in Unit I.C.2., persons who export or intend to export 
a chemical substance identified in a proposed or final SNUR are subject 
to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b), and 
persons who import a chemical substance identified in a final SNUR are 
subject to the TSCA section 13 import certification requirements. See 
also https://www.epa.gov/tsca-import-export-requirements.

E. Applicability of the Proposed SNURs 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 proposed rule 
have undergone premanufacture review and

[[Page 102049]]

received determinations under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C). TSCA Orders have 
been issued for these chemical substances and the PMN submitters are 
required by the TSCA Orders to submit a SNUN before undertaking 
activities that would be designated as significant new uses in these 
SNURs. Additionally, the identities of many of the chemical substances 
subject to this proposed rule have been claimed as confidential per 40 
CFR 720.85, further reducing the likelihood that another party would 
manufacture or process the substances for an activity that would be 
designated as a significant new use. Based on this, the Agency believes 
that it is highly unlikely that any of the significant new uses 
identified in Unit III. are ongoing.
    When the chemical substances identified in Unit III. are added to 
the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is effective, 
other persons might engage in a use that has been identified as a 
significant new use. Persons who begin manufacture or processing of the 
chemical substances for a significant new use identified on or after 
the designated cutoff date specified in Unit III.A. would have to cease 
any such activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume 
their activities, these persons would have to first comply with all 
applicable SNUR notification requirements and EPA would have to take 
action under TSCA section 5 allowing manufacture or processing to 
proceed.

F. Important Information About SNUN Submissions

1. SNUN Submissions
    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.
2. 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, TSCA 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. To assist with 
EPA's analysis of the SNUN, submitters are encouraged, but not 
required, to provide the potentially useful information identified for 
the chemical substance in Unit III.C.
    EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to 
consult with the Agency pertaining to protocol selection. 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 III. 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 that provide detailed information on the human exposure 
and environmental release that may result from the significant new use 
of the chemical substances.

III. Chemical Substances Subject to These Proposed SNURs

A. What is the designated cutoff date for ongoing uses?

    EPA designates December 17, 2024 as the cutoff date for determining 
whether the new use is ongoing. This designation is explained in more 
detail in Unit II.E.

B. What information is provided for each chemical substance?

    For each chemical substance identified in Unit III.C., EPA provides 
the following information:
     PMN number (the proposed CFR citation assigned in the 
regulatory text section of the proposed rule).
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is 
claimed as CBI).
     Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) (if 
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Basis for the action (effective date of and basis for the 
TSCA Order).
     Potentially useful information.
    The regulatory text section of the proposed rule specifies the 
activities designated as significant new uses. Certain new uses, 
including production volume limits and other uses designated in the 
proposed rules, may be claimed as CBI.
    These proposed rules include PMN substances that are subject to 
orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the 
determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). Those TSCA Orders 
require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate 
the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify as 
significant new uses any manufacturing, processing, use, distribution 
in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the restrictions 
imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, consistent with TSCA section 
5(f)(4).

C. Which chemical substances are subject to these proposed rules?

    The substances subject to the proposed rules in this document are 
as follows:
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-18-127 (40 CFR 721.12043)
    Chemical Name: Heptane, 2-methoxy-2-methyl-.
    CASRN: 76589-16-7.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: December 15, 2023.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as a 
fragrance for household and consumer products, mainly laundry 
detergents. Based on submitted test data on the PMN substance, EPA has 
identified concerns for skin sensitization. Based on comparison to 
analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified concerns for 
systemic and developmental effects. Based on submitted test data on the 
PMN substance, EPA predicts toxicity to

[[Page 102050]]

aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 210 ppb. The 
Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient 
information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present 
an unreasonable risk of injury to human health and the environment. To 
protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Manufacture of the PMN substance only by import into the 
United States in a solution of no greater than 5% by weight (i.e., no 
domestic manufacture);
     Processing of the PMN substance only in a solution of no 
greater than 5% by weight of the PMN substance;
     Processing for use or use of the PMN substance in consumer 
products only if the concentration of the PMN substance is less than 1% 
by weight;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, in surface water concentrations that 
exceed 210 ppb;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
developmental toxicity, specific target organ toxicity, and pulmonary 
effects testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health 
and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does 
not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect 
until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of 
this or other relevant information.
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-18-325 (40 CFR 721.12044)
    Chemical Name: Benzenesulfonic acid, alkyl-, compd. with 1,1'-
iminobis[2-propanol] (1:1) (generic).
    CASRN: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 9, 2024.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as an 
industrial crosslinking catalyst. Based on the structure of the anion, 
EPA identified concerns for lung toxicity (surfactant effects). Based 
on test data for the neutral form of the cation and analogues for the 
anion, EPA also identified concerns for skin and eye irritation, and 
systemic and reproductive effects. Based on comparison to analogous 
anionic surfactants, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may 
occur at concentrations that exceed 0.4 ppb. The Order was issued under 
TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a 
finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a 
reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these 
risks, the Order requires:
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in 
any manner that results in inhalation exposure to the PMN substance;
     No processing for use or use of the PMN substance other 
than as an industrial cross-linking catalyst;
     No release of the PMN substances, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substances, into waters of the United States;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of skin 
irritation/corrosion, eye irritation/corrosion, pulmonary effects, 
specific target organ toxicity, and aquatic toxicity testing may be 
potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects 
of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, 
the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified 
or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant 
information.
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-20-14 (40 CFR 721.12045)
    Chemical Name: Sugars, polymer with alkanetriamine (generic).
    CASRN: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 27, 2023.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a water resistant resin additive. Based on 
comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified 
concerns for systemic effects (body weight). Based on potential 
chelation to nutrient metals, EPA has also identified concerns for 
developmental and systemic effects. Based on submitted test data on the 
PMN substance, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 191 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, in surface water concentrations that 
exceed 191 ppb;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
reproductive toxicity and specific target organ toxicity testing may be 
potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects 
of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, 
the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified 
or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant 
information.
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-21-86 (40 CFR 721.12046)
    Chemical Name: Isooctadecanamide, N,N-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-.
    CASRN: 1616494-50-8.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 6, 2024.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as an automotive engine

[[Page 102051]]

additive. Based on test data for the metabolite, EPA has identified 
concerns for systemic effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. 
To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     No processing for use of the PMN substance in a consumer 
product where the concentration of the PMN substance in the consumer 
product formulation exceeds the confidential percentage listed in the 
Order;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product where 
the concentration of the PMN substance exceeds the confidential 
percentage listed in the Order;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
metabolism or pharmacokinetics and specific target organ toxicity 
testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health effects of 
the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the 
Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or 
revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant 
information.
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-21-164 (40 CFR 721.12047)
    Chemical Name: 2-Butanone, oxime, reaction products with 
trimethoxymethylsilane.
    CASRN: 2639393-45-4.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 13, 2023.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as a 
crosslinker for waterproofing. Based on comparison to analogous 
chemical substances, EPA has identified concerns for irritation to skin 
and eyes and systemic effects. Based on test data for hydrolysis 
products, EPA has also identified concerns for acute toxicity, skin 
irritation, eye corrosion, respiratory tract irritation and corrosion, 
skin sensitization, systemic effects, developmental effects, 
neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity. Based on test data for hydrolysis 
products, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 102 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     No use of the PMN substance unless at 4% or less by weight 
in formulation;
     No loading or unloading of the PMN substance for 
manufacture, processing, or use unless under a gas (e.g., nitrogen) 
blanket;
     Application of the PMN substance for use only by roll, 
brush, or dip coating;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified combination particulate and gas/
vapor respirator with an APF of at least 50 where there is a potential 
for inhalation exposure;
     Disposal of the PMN substance, or waste streams containing 
the PMN substance, only by incineration;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, into waters of the United States; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of acute 
toxicity, carcinogenicity, eye damage, pulmonary effects, skin 
irritation, specific target organ toxicity, and aquatic toxicity 
testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health and 
environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not 
require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or 
other relevant information.
PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-21-170 (40 CFR 721.12048)
    Chemical Name: 2,6-Bis(dialkyl)-4-[2-(1-alkyl-4(1H)-
pyridinylidene)alkylidene]-2,5-cycloalkyladien-1-one (generic).
    CASRN: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: January 27, 2024.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as a 
color indicator for frying oil breakdown. Based on comparison to 
analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified concerns for 
irritation to skin and eyes, skin sensitization, neurotoxicity, 
systemic effects (respiratory tract, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and 
body weight effects), reproductive and developmental effects, 
genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and acute toxicity (mortality). Based on 
OECD Toolbox results, EPA identified concerns for skin sensitization 
and based on information provided in the SDS, EPA has also identified 
concerns for acute toxicity and irritation to skin, eyes, and 
respiratory tract. Based on comparison to analogous chemical 
substances, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     Manufacture of the PMN substance only below an annual 
volume of 10 kg;
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance 
resulting in releases to air except with the use of a HEPA filtration 
system;
     No processing for use or use of the PMN substance other 
than as a color indicator for frying oil breakdown;
     No processing for use or use of the PMN substance where 
the concentration of the PMN substance in the final product exceeds 
0.008%;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, into waters of the United States;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an 
APF of at least 10 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.

[[Page 102052]]

    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain

    Effective Date of TSCA Order: November 16, 2023.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be in asphalt emulsion applications. Based on 
comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has identified 
concerns for acute toxicity, skin and eye irritation/corrosion, skin 
sensitization, point-of-contact effects, lung effects, and systemic 
effects. Based on the surfactant-like properties of the PMN substance 
and its use as an emulsifier, EPA has also identified concerns for lung 
effects (surfactancy). Based on information in the SDS, EPA has also 
identified concerns for skin irritation, eye corrosion, and respiratory 
irritation. Based on comparison to analogous aliphatic amines, EPA 
predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that 
exceed 2 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health 
and the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order 
requires:
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in 
any manner that results in the generation of vapor, mist, dust, or 
aerosol;
     No processing for use or use of the PMN substance in a 
consumer product;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, in surface water concentrations that 
exceed 2 ppb; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of acute 
toxicity, specific target organ toxicity, pulmonary effects, skin 
irritation/corrosion, eye damage, neurotoxicity, skin sensitization, 
and aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize 
the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the 
Order does not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.

information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
pulmonary effects, reproductive and developmental effects, and 
neurotoxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not 
require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or

PMN Number (Proposed CFR Citation): P-22-121 (40 CFR 721.12063)
    Chemical Name: Polychloroalkene (generic).
    CASRN: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 6, 2024.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a process intermediate. Based on submitted 
test data on the PMN substance and information in the SDS, EPA has 
identified concerns for acute toxicity (oral) and skin sensitization. 
Based on test data for analogues, EPA identified concerns for acute 
toxicity (oral, inhalation), skin irritation, eye corrosion, 
respiratory irritation, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and systemic 
effects. Based on submitted acute test data and comparison to analogous 
chemical substances, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may 
occur at concentrations that exceed 0.15 ppb. The Order was issued 
under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a 
finding that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a 
reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to human health and the environment. To protect against these 
risks, the Order requires:
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import 
only);
     No processing, use, loading, or unloading of the PMN 
substance unless under a gas (e.g., nitrogen) blanket or in a closed 
system except that sampling may occur outside the closed system 
resulting in exposures;
     No use of the PMN substance other than for the 
confidential use listed in the Order;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified combination particulate and gas/
vapor respirator with an APF of at least 50 where there is a potential 
for inhalation exposure;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, in surface water concentrations that 
exceed 0.15 ppb; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results 
carcinogenicity, eye irritation/corrosion, genetic toxicity, pulmonary 
effects, skin irritation, specific target organ toxicity, 
toxicokinetics, and aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful 
to characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN 
substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order's 
restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by 
EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information.

    Effective Date of TSCA Order: February 21, 2024.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use will be as a 
reactive-diluent in a polyol component of a 2K (Isocyanate-Polyol) 
Urethane coating system for interior concrete floor sealant or 
interior/exterior paver sealer. Based on the physical/chemical 
properties of the PMN substance (as described in the New Chemical 
Program's PBT category at 64 FR 60194; November 1999) and test data on 
structurally similar substances, the PMN substance is a potentially 
persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical. EPA estimates 
that the PMN substance will persist in the environment for more than 
six months and estimates a bioconcentration factor of greater than or 
equal to 5,000. Based on test data for a potential hydrolysis product, 
EPA has identified concerns for acute toxicity and systemic, 
reproductive, and developmental effects. Based on comparison to 
analogous esters, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 
at concentrations that exceed 0.14 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health and the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     No use of the PMN substance in any manner that generates a 
spray, mist, vapor, or aerosol containing the PMN substance unless the 
concentration of the PMN substance is less than 5.7% by weight;
     No processing for use or use of the PMN substance in a 
consumer product;
     No release of the PMN substance, or any waste stream 
containing the PMN substance, into waters of the United States;
     Disposal of the PMN substance, or waste streams containing 
the PMN substance, only by incineration;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.

Based on comparison to analogous alkoxysilanes and other analogous 
chemical substances, EPA has identified concerns for lung toxicity. 
Based on the reactivity of the PMN substance and the low molecular 
weight fraction content, EPA has also identified concerns for 
irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Based on 
comparison with analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified 
concerns for hematological effects (i.e., increased neutrophils, 
eosinophils, lymphocytes) associated with lung toxicity. Based on 
comparison to analogous alkoxysilanes, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic 
organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 7 ppb. The Order was 
issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), 
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to 
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to human health and the environment. To protect against 
these risks, the Order requires:
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import

structurally similar substances, the PMN substance are potentially 
persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals. EPA estimates 
that the PMN substances will persist in the environment for more than 
six months and have unknown bioaccumulation. Based on comparison to 
analogous chemical compounds, EPA has identified concerns for acute 
toxicity, irritation to the skin and respiratory tract, neurological 
effects, and systemic effects for the cation of the PMN substances, as 
well as eye corrosion for P-23-44, P-23-80, and P-23-93. Based on

concerns for genetic toxicity for the PMN substances, and skin 
sensitization and portal-of-entry (respiratory) effects for P-23-93. 
Based on the photoreactivity of the PMN substances, EPA has also 
identified concerns for photosensitization. Based on comparison to 
analogous compounds, EPA has also identified concerns for systemic and 
reproductive effects for the anion of P-23-44 and P-23-93. Based on 
data on a potential incineration product, EPA identified concerns for 
local and systemic effects via inhalation exposure. Based on a lack of 
scientific data, there is unknown toxicity to aquatic organisms. The 
Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient

and test data on structurally similar substances, the PMN substance is 
a potentially persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical. 
EPA estimates that the PMN substance will persist in the environment 
for more than six months and estimates a bioaccumulation factor of 
greater than or equal to 5,000. Based on test data for hydrolysis 
products of the low molecular weight fraction of the PMN substance, EPA 
has identified concerns for genetic toxicity, carcinogenicity, and 
systemic, reproductive, and developmental effects. Based on comparison 
to analogous esters, EPA predicts toxicity to aquatic organisms may 
occur at concentrations that exceed 0.4 ppb. The Order was issued under

(PBT) chemical. EPA estimates that the PMN substance will persist in 
the environment for more than six months and estimates unknown 
bioaccumulation. Based on comparison to analogous sulfonium compounds, 
EPA has identified concerns for acute toxicity, irritation to the skin 
and respiratory tract, eye corrosion, neurological effects, and 
systemic effects for the sulfonium cation. Based on comparison to 
analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified concerns for 
genetic toxicity. Based on the photoreactivity of the PMN substance, 
EPA has also identified concerns for photosensitization. Based on a 
potential incineration product (trifluroacetate), EPA has also 
identified concerns for local, neurological, developmental and systemic 
effects via inhalation exposure. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health or the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     No manufacture of the PMN substance beyond the time limits 
specified in the Order without submittal to EPA the results of certain 
testing described in the Testing section of the Order;
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
     No modification of the processing of the PMN substance in 
any way that generates a vapor, dust, mist, or aerosol in a non-
enclosed process;
     Use of the PMN substance only for the confidential use 
listed in the Order;
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import 
only);
     Import of the PMN substance only in solution or in sealed 
containers weighing 5 kilograms or less; and
     No exceedance of the confidential annual importation 
volume listed the Order.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the physical/chemical properties, fate, 
bioaccumulation, environmental hazard, and human health effects of the 
PMN substance may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the 
time limits specified in the Order without performing the required Tier 
I and Tier II testing outlined in the Testing section of the Order.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review

    This action proposes to establish 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 
Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), as amended by Executive 
Order 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not 
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless 
it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control 
number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of 
the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if 
applicable.
    The information collection requirements related to SNURs have 
already been approved by OMB pursuant to PRA under OMB control number 
2070-0038 (EPA ICR No. 1188). This action does not impose any burden 
requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to submit a SNUN 
to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average between 30 and 
170 hours per submission. This burden estimate includes the time needed 
to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and 
maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit the required 
SNUN.
    EPA always welcomes your feedback on the burden estimates. Send any 
comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and any suggested 
methods for improving the collection instruments or instruction or 
minimizing respondent burden,

[[Page 102061]]

including through the use of automated collection techniques.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 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, EPA has concluded 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 16 in Federal fiscal year (FY) FY2018, 
five in FY2019, seven in FY2020, 13 in FY2021, 11 in FY2022, and 15 in 
FY2023, and only a fraction of these submissions were from small 
businesses.
    In addition, the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small 
businesses by reducing the SNUN submission fee from $37,000 to $6,480. 
This lower fee reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping cost of 
submitting a SNUN to about $14,500 per SNUN submission for qualifying 
small firms. Therefore, the potential economic impacts of complying 
with these proposed SNURs 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 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)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or 
more (in 1995 dollars) in any one year as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 
1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small 
governments. Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing 
SNURs, State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by 
SNURs, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any State, 
local, or Tribal government will be impacted by these SNURs. In 
addition, the estimated costs of this action to the private sector do 
not exceed $183 million or more in any one year (the 1995 dollars are 
adjusted to 2023 dollars for inflation using the GDP implicit price 
deflator). The estimated costs for this action are discussed in Unit 
I.D.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action will not have federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), 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. Accordingly, the requirements of Executive Order 13132 do 
not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action will not have Tribal implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it is 
not expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes, 
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 
do not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997), because it does not concern an environmental health or 
safety risk. Since this action does not concern a human health risk, 
EPA's 2021 Policy on Children's Health also does not apply. Although 
the establishment of these SNURs do not address an existing children's 
environmental health concern because the chemical uses involved are not 
ongoing uses, SNURs require that persons 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 rulemaking. This 
notification allows EPA to assess the intended uses to identify 
potential risks and take appropriate actions before the activities 
commence.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not 
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, 
distribution, or use of energy.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This action does not involve any technical standards subject to 
NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and 
Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to 
Environmental Justice for All

    EPA believes that this type of action does not concern human health 
or environmental conditions and therefore cannot be evaluated with 
respect to the potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on 
communities with environmental justice concerns in accordance with 
Executive Orders 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) and 14096 (88 FR 
25251, April 26, 2023). Although this action does not concern human 
health or environmental conditions, the premanufacture notifications 
required by these SNURs will allow EPA to assess the intended uses to 
identify potential disproportionate risks and take appropriate actions 
before the activities commence.
