Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under 
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain 
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices 
(PMNs) and subject to TSCA section 5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. 
Today's action requires persons who intend to manufacture, import, or 
process these substances for a significant new use to notify EPA at 
least 90 days before commencing the manufacturing or processing of the 
substance for a use designated by this SNUR as a significant new use. 
The required notice will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate 
the intended use, and if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity 
before it occurs. EPA is promulgating this SNUR using direct final 
procedures.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is May 1, 1995. This rule shall 
be promulgated for purposes of judicial review at 1 p.m. Eastern 
Standard Time on March 15, 1995. If EPA receives notice before March 
31, 1995 that someone wishes to submit adverse or critical comments on 
EPA's action in establishing a SNUR for one or more of the chemical 
substances subject to this rule, EPA will withdraw the SNUR for the 
substance for which the notice of intent to comment is received and 
will issue a proposed SNUR providing a 30-day period for public 
comment.

ADDRESSES: Each comment or notice of intent to submit adverse or 
critical comment must bear the docket control number OPPTS-50620 and 
the name(s) of the chemical substance(s) subject to the comment. All 
comments should be sent in triplicate to: Environmental Protection 
Agency, OPPT Document Receipt Officer (7407), 401 M St., SW., Rm. E-
G099, Washington, DC 20460. All comments which are claimed confidential 
must be clearly marked as such. Three additional sanitized copies of 
any comments containing confidential business information (CBI) must 
also be submitted. Nonconfidential versions of comments on this rule 
will be placed in the rulemaking record and will be available for 
public inspection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James B. Willis, Acting Director, 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-543B, 401 
M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, Telephone: [phone], TDD: (202) 
554-0551.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SNUR will require persons to notify EPA 
at least 90 days before commencing manufacturing or processing a 
substance for any activity designated by this SNUR as a significant new 
use. The supporting rationale and background to this rule are 
[[Page 11034]] more fully set out in the preamble to EPA's first direct 
final SNURs published in the Federal Register of April 24, 1990 (55 FR 
17376). Consult that preamble for further information on the 
objectives, rationale, and procedures for the rules and on the basis 
for significant new use designations including provisions for 
developing test data.

I. Authority

    Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (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 those listed in section 5(a)(2). Once EPA 
determines that a use of a chemical substance is a significant new use, 
section 5(a)(1)(B) of TSCA requires persons to submit a notice to EPA 
at least 90 days before they manufacture, import, or process the 
substance for that use. The mechanism for reporting under this 
requirement is established under 40 CFR 721.10.

II. Applicability of General Provisions

    General provisions for SNURs appear under subpart A of 40 CFR part 
721. These provisions describe persons subject to the rule, 
recordkeeping requirements, exemptions to reporting requirements, and 
applicability of the rule to uses occurring before the effective date 
of the final rule. Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR 
part 700. Persons subject to this SNUR must comply with the same notice 
requirements and EPA regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs under 
section 5(a)(1)(A) of TSCA. In particular, these requirements include 
the information submission requirements of section 5(b) and 5(d)(1), 
the exemptions authorized by section 5(h)(1), (2), (3), and (5), and 
the regulations at 40 CFR part 720. Once EPA receives a SNUR notice, 
EPA may take regulatory action under section 5(e), 5(f), 6, or 7 to 
control the activities on which it has received the SNUR notice. If EPA 
does not take action, EPA is required under section 5(g) to explain in 
the Federal Register its reasons for not taking action.
    Persons who intend to export a substance identified in a proposed 
or final SNUR are subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA 
section 12(b). The regulations that interpret section 12(b) appear at 
40 CFR part 707. Persons who intend to import a chemical substance 
identified in a final SNUR are subject to the TSCA section 13 import 
certification requirements, which are codified at 19 CFR 12.118 through 
12.127 and 127.28. Such persons must certify that they are in 
compliance with the SNUR requirements. The EPA policy in support of the 
import certification appears at 40 CFR part 707.

III. Substances Subject to This Rule

    EPA is establishing significant new use and recordkeeping 
requirements for the following chemical substances under 40 CFR part 
721 subpart E. In this unit, EPA provides a brief description for each 
substance, including its PMN number, chemical name (generic name if the 
specific name is claimed as CBI), CAS number (if assigned), basis for 
the action taken by EPA in the section 5(e) consent order or as a non-
section 5(e) SNUR for the substance (including the statutory citation 
and specific finding), toxicity concern, and the CFR citation assigned 
in the regulatory text section of this rule. The specific uses which 
are designated as significant new uses are cited in the regulatory text 
section of this document by reference to 40 CFR part 721, subpart B 
where the significant new uses are described in detail. Certain new 
uses, including production limits and other uses designated in the rule 
are claimed as CBI. The procedure for obtaining confidential 
information is set out in Unit VII. of this preamble.
    Where the underlying section 5(e) order prohibits the PMN submitter 
from exceeding a specified production limit without performing specific 
tests to determine the health or environmental effects of a substance, 
the tests are described in this unit. As explained further in Unit VI. 
of this preamble, the SNUR for such substances contains the same 
production limit, and exceeding the production limit is defined as a 
significant new use. Persons who intend to exceed the production limit 
must notify the Agency by submitting a significant new use notice 
(SNUN) at least 90 days in advance. In addition, this unit describes 
tests that are recommended by EPA to provide sufficient information to 
evaluate the substance, but for which no production limit has been 
established in the section 5(e) order. Descriptions of recommended 
tests are provided for informational purposes.
    Data on potential exposures or releases of the substances, testing 
other than that specified in the section 5(e) order for the substances, 
or studies on analogous substances, which may demonstrate that the 
significant new uses being reported do not present an unreasonable 
risk, may be included with significant new use notification. Persons 
submitting a SNUN must comply with the same notice requirements and EPA 
regulatory procedures as submitters of PMNs, as stated in 40 CFR 
721.1(c), including submission of test data on health and environmental 
effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50.
    EPA is not publishing SNURs for two PMN substances, P-93-1096 and 
P-94-138, which are subject to a final 5(e) consent order. The 5(e) 
consent orders for these substances are derived from an exposure 
finding based solely on substantial production volume and significant 
or substantial human exposure and/or release to the environment of 
substantial quantities. For these cases there were limited or no 
toxicity data available for the PMN substances. In such cases, EPA 
regulates the new chemical substances under section 5(e) by requiring 
certain toxicity tests. For instance, chemical substances with 
potentially substantial releases to surface waters would be subject to 
toxicity testing of aquatic organisms and chemicals with potentially 
substantial human exposures would be subject to health effects testing 
for mutagenicity, acute effects, and subchronic effects. However, for 
these substances, the short-term toxicity testing required by the 5(e) 
order is usually completed within 1 to 2 years of notice of 
commencement. EPA's experience with exposure-based SNURs requiring 
short-term testing is that the SNUR is often revoked within 1 to 2 
years when the test results are received. Rather than issue and revoke 
SNURs in such a short span of time, EPA will defer publication of 
exposure-based SNURs until either a Notice of Commencement (NOC) or 
data demonstrating risk are received unless the toxicity testing 
required is long-term. EPA is issuing this explanation and notification 
as required in 40 CFR 721.160(a)(2) as it has determined that SNURs are 
not needed at this time for these substances which are subject to a 
final 5(e) consent order under TSCA.

PMN Number P-93-193

Chemical name: Propanol, [2-(1,1-dimethyl- ethoxy)methylethoxy]-.
CAS number: 132739-31-2.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: May 7, 1994.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(II) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance is expected to be produced in substantial quantities and 
there may be substantial human exposures and environmental release.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of an Ames 
assay (with and without activation)(40 CFR 798.5265), an in vivo mouse 
micronucleus assay by the intraperitoneal route (40 CFR 798.5395), 
[[Page 11035]] a one-specie (oral) developmental toxicity test (40 CFR 
798.4900), and a 90-day subchronic oral toxicity with functional 
observation battery (FOB) study, neuropathology, and motor activity 
(NTIS PB-91-145617 neurotoxicity guideline) would help characterize 
possible health effects of the substance. EPA has also determined that 
an inherent biodegradability in soil test (40 CFR 796.3400), a 
semicontinuous activated sludge test (40 CFR 796.3340), and a soil thin 
layer chromatography (40 CFR 796.2700) or sediment and soil adsorption 
isotherm test (40 CFR 796.2750) would help characterize possible 
environmental effects of the substance. The PMN submitter has agreed 
not to exceed the production volume limit without performing these 
tests.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.8170.

PMN Numbers P-93-313 through 316

Chemical name: (generic) Carboxylic acids, (C6-C9) branched and linear.

section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the 
environment.
Toxicity concern: Toxicity testing of the PMN substances demonstrated 
potential chronic toxicity to fish and aquatic organisms.
Recommended testing: The Agency recommends a daphnid chronic toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1330) for P-93-313 and P-93-316 and a fish early life 
stage toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1600) for P-93-316 to characterize 
potential environmental effects.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2088.

PMN Number P-93-339

Chemical name: (generic) Methacrylic ester.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: November 4, 1994.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health.
Toxicity concern: The substance may cause cancer based on toxicity data 
for similar acrylates which have been shown to cause cancer in test 
animals.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that the results of a two-
species rodent bioassay (40 CFR 798.3300) would help characterize the 
carcinogenic effects of the PMN substance. Toxicity data on 
representative members of the acrylate/methacrylate class of chemical 
substances being developed by certain acrylate and methacrylate 
munufacturers may also be useful in evaluating the risk posed by the 
PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3028.

PMN Numbers P-93-374 and P-93-375

Chemical name: (generic) Substituted benzotriazole derivatives.
CAS number: Not available.

Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that these 
substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health.
Toxicity concern: Based on analogy to similar chemicals, the PMN 
substances may cause systemic or reproductive effects in test animals.
Recommended testing: The Agency has determined that the results of a 
90-day subchronic toxicity gavage study in rats (40 CFR 798.1650) would 
help characterize possible human health effects.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1760.

PMN Number P-93-578

Chemical name: Methylenebisbenzotriazole.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: February 4, 1993.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health.
Toxicity concern: Similar chemicals have been shown to cause systemic 
and reproductive toxicity in test animals.
Recommended testing: A 90-day gavage study in rats (40 CFR 798.2650) 
would help characterize systemic and reproductive effects. The PMN 
submitter has agreed not to exceed the production volume limit without 
performing this test.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1755.

PMN Number P-93-721

Chemical name: Furan, 2-(ethoxymethyl)tetrahydro-.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: May 7, 1994.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(II) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance is expected to be produced in substantial quantities and 
there may be substantial human exposures and environmental release.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that an activated sludge test 
and an aerobic aquatic biodegradation study (40 CFR 796.3100) would 
help characterize possible environmental effects of the substance. EPA 
has determined that the results of an acute oral study (40 CFR 
798.1175), an Ames assay (40 CFR 798.5265), a mouse micronucleus assay 
by the intraperitoneal route (40 CFR 798.5395), and a 28-day repeated 
dose oral study in rats (OECD Guideline No. 407) would help 
characterize possible health effects of the substance. The consent 
order contains two production volume triggers. The PMN submitter has 
agreed not to exceed the first production volume limit without 
performing the environmental effects tests. The PMN submitter has 
agreed not to exceed the second production volume limit without 
performing the health effects tests.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3815.

PMN Number P-93-1043

Chemical name: (generic) Polysulfide mixture.
CAS number: Not available.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: April 15, 1994.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i), (ii)(I), and (ii)(II) of TSCA based on a finding 
that this substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the 
environment and that this substance is expected to be produced in 
substantial quantities and that there may be significant or substantial 
human exposure.
Toxicity concern: Structurally similar chemicals have been shown to 
cause toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that an Ames assay (with and 
without activation) (40 CFR 798.5265); an in vivo mouse micronucleus 
test (intraperitoneal) (40 CFR 798.5395); an oral LD50 study in rats 
(40 CFR 798.1175); a 28-day repeated dose oral study in rats (OECD 
Guideline No. 407), with the following modifications: (a) for all test 
doses, a neurotoxicity functional observational battery (NTIS:PB 91-
154617), and (b) for the highest test dose group only, histopathologic 
examination extended to include the testes/ovaries and lungs, plus 
neuropathology (NTIS:PB 91-154617); and developmental toxicity testing 
(40 CFR 798.4900; oral route; one species) would better characterize 
the potential human health effects. The PMN submitter has agreed not to 
exceed [[Page 11036]] the production volume limit without performing 
these tests. EPA has determined that a 96-hour bioassay in algae (40 
CFR 797.1050); a 48-hour LC50 test in daphnia (40 CFR 797.1300); a 96-
hour test in fish (40 CFR 797.1400; a SCAS test (40 CFR 797.3340); an 
aerobic aquatic biodegradation (40 CFR 797.3100); and an indirect 
photolysis test (40 CFR 796.3765), would better characterize the 
potential environmental effects. These tests would be required to 
evaluate the potential environmental and fate effects which may be 
caused by the PMN substance if the substance were to be released into 
the waters of the United States.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9540.

PMN Number P-93-1111

Chemical name: Butanamide, 2,2'-[3,3'-di-chloro[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-
diyl)bisazobis[N-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl)-3-oxo-.
CAS number: 78245-94-0.
Effective date of section 5(e) consent order: May 27, 1994.
Basis for section 5(e) consent order: The order was issued under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii)(I) of TSCA based on a finding that this 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health 
and the environment.
Toxicity concern: Structurally similar chemicals have been shown to 
cause carcinogenicity and mutagenicity in test animals and toxicity to 
aquatic organisms.
Recommended testing: The following data are recommended to help 
characterize the PMN substance's potential to cause human health and 
environmental effects: Monitoring data to detect the presence of 
dichlorobenzidine (DCB) under actual conditions of use; monitoring data 
to detect airborne concentrations of DCB; monitoring data on releases 
of DCB to surface waters. (See Agency for guidelines and information on 
performing monitoring studies.) Also recommended to help determine the 
PMN substance's potential to cause environmental effects: An anaerobic 
biodegradation (40 CFR 797.3140).
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1907.

PMN Number P-93-1308

Chemical name: (generic) Dialkyl ether.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on analogy to neutral organic compounds, EPA is concerned 
that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low 
as 180 parts per billion (ppb) of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
EPA determined that use of the substance as described in the PMN did 
not present an unreasonable risk because the substance would not be 
released to surface waters resulting in concentrations above 180 ppb. 
EPA has determined that other uses of the substance may result in 
releases to surface water at concentrations above 180 ppb. Based on 
this information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3437.

PMN Numbers P-93-1423 through 1426

Chemical name: (generic) Silanes substituted macrocycle polyethyl.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as intermediates. 
Based on analogy to alkoxysilanes, EPA is concerned that toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low as 20 ppb of the 
PMN substances in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the 
substances as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk 
because the substances would not be released to surface waters. EPA has 
determined that other uses of the substances may result in releases to 
surface waters which exceed the concern concentration. Based on this 
information, the PMN substances meet the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9505.

PMN Number P-93-1447

Chemical name: (generic) Bis(imidoethylene) benzene.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a rubber additive. 
Based on submitted toxicity testing of the substance, EPA is concerned 
that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low 
as 2 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters and that general 
systemic effects may occur to exposed workers. EPA determined that use 
of the substance as described in the PMN did not present an 
unreasonable risk because the substance would not be released to 
surface waters and significant worker exposure would not occur because 
the substance was not manufactured domestically. EPA has determined 
that other uses of the substance may result in releases to surface 
waters which exceed the concern concentration and significant worker 
exposure. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the 
concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(i) and (b)(3)(i).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance. EPA 
has determined that a 90-day subchronic study (40 CFR 798.2650) would 
help characterize the health effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.1187.

PMN Number P-93-1471

Chemical name: (generic) Allyloxysubstituted heterocycle.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an intermediate. 
Based on analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low as 70 ppb of the 
PMN substance in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the 
substance as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk 
because the substance would not be released to surface waters resulting 
in concentrations above 70 ppb. EPA has determined that other uses of 
the substance may result in releases to surface water at concentrations 
above 70 ppb. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the 
concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4110.

PMN Number P-94-34

Chemical name: 2,4-Imidazolidinedione, bromochloro-5,5-dimethyl-.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as described in the 
PMN. Based on analogy to a structurally similar compound, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations as low as 7 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
[[Page 11037]] EPA determined that use of the substance as described in 
the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because the substance will 
be used as a solid and would not be released to surface waters 
resulting in concentrations above 10 ppb. EPA has determined that other 
uses of the substance may result in releases to surface water at 
concentrations above 10 ppb. Based on this information, the PMN 
substance meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4470.

PMN Numbers P-94-322 and P-94-323

Chemical name: (generic) Polyfluoro- carboxylates.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The substances will be used as intermediates. Based 
on analogy to similar chemicals, EPA expects the substances to cause 
developmental toxicity, systemic toxicity, and acute toxicity as well 
as toxicity to aquatic organisms at a concentration of 5 ppb of the 
substances in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the substances 
as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because 
the substances would not be released to surface waters and the 
substances would be used as an intermediate which would not result in 
exposure to workers. EPA has determined that manufacture, processing, 
and use of the substances other than as a site-limited intermediate 
could result in releases to surface waters and exposures to workers. 
Based on this information, the substances meet the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii) and (b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined a chronic 60-day fish early 
life stage toxicity test in rainbow trout (40 CFR 797.1600) and a 21-
day chronic daphnid toxicity test (40 CFR 797.1350) would help 
characterize the environmental effects of the substance. EPA has also 
determined that a 90-day subchronic study (40 CFR 798.2650) and a two-
species developmental toxicity study (40 CFR 798.4900) would help 
characterize the health effects of the substances.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3790.

PMN Numbers P-94-325 through 327

Chemical name: (generic) Alkoxylated alkyldiethylenetriamine, alkyl 
sulfate salts.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as cellulose 
softeners. Based on analogy of the substances to cationic surfactants, 
EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations as low as 4 ppb of the PMN substances in surface waters. 
EPA determined that use of the substances as described in the PMN did 
not present an unreasonable risk because the substances would not be 
released to surface waters. EPA has determined that consumer uses of 
the substances may result in releases to surface waters which exceed 
the concern concentration. Based on this information, the PMN 
substances meet the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2410.

PMN Number P-94-422

Chemical name: (generic) Branched synthetic fatty acid.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as an industrial 
lubricant raw material. Based on analogy to 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 
valproic acid, the PMN substance may cause liver toxicity and 
developmental toxicity. EPA has determined that persons exposed to the 
PMN substance dermally and by inhalation may be at risk for these 
effects. EPA determined that importation of the substance as an 
industrial lubricant raw material did not present an unreasonable risk 
because there were no significant dermal or inhalation exposures. EPA 
has determined that domestic manufacture, use other than as an 
intermediate, or nonindustrial use may result in significant dermal and 
inhalation exposures. Based on this information, the PMN substance 
meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(3)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that an oral developmental 
toxicity study in two species (40 CFR 798.4900) and an oral 90-day 
subchronic study (40 CFR 798.2650) would help characterize the health 
effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3627.

PMN Number P-94-499

Chemical name: (generic) Substituted azo metal complex dye.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a textile dye. 
Based on analogy to similar substances, the PMN substance may cause 
cancer. Based on submitted test data and analogy to similar substances, 
the PMN substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. EPA has determined 
that exposed workers may be at risk for cancer and water releases may 
be toxic to aquatic organisms. EPA determined that use of the substance 
as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because 
there were no significant environmental releases or worker exposures. 
EPA has determined that environmental releases or water releases during 
manufacturing may result in significant human or environmental 
exposures as described in Sec. 721.170(c)(2)(ii). Based on this 
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(1)(i)(C) and (b)(4)(i).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 2-year two-species oral 
bioassay (40 CFR 798.3300) or other testing to address the 
bioavailability of metabolites of concern will help characterize the 
health effects of the PMN substance. EPA has also determined that a 
daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1300) and an algal acute 
toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would help characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4594.

PMN Number P-94-682

Chemical name: (generic) Hydroxyalkyl-quinoline dioxoindan 
dialkylcarboxamide.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a color component. 
Based on analogy to phenols, EPA is concerned that chronic toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low as 1 ppb of the 
PMN substance in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the 
substance as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk 
because the substance would not be released to surface waters. EPA has 
determined that other uses of the substance may result in releases to 
surface waters at concentrations above 1 ppb. Based on this 
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined a chronic 60-day fish early 
life stage toxicity test in rainbow trout (40 CFR 797.1600), and a 21-
day chronic daphnid toxicity test (40 CFR 797.1350) would help 
characterize the environmental effects of the substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.2085. [[Page 11038]] 

PMN Number P-94-982

Chemical name: (generic) Methylamine esters.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substances will be used as an intermediate. 
Based on analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that toxicity to 
aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations as low as 1 ppb of the 
PMN substances in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the 
substances as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk 
because the substances would be used as an intermediate limiting 
release to surface waters. EPA has determined that other uses of the 
substances may result in releases to surface water at concentrations 
above 1 ppb. Based on this information, the PMN substances meets the 
concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a fish acute toxicity study modified with 
humic acid (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.3034.

PMN Number P-94-1009

Chemical name: (generic) Trifunctional aliphatic blocked urethane 
cross-linker.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a coating. Based on 
analogy to aliphatic amines, EPA is concerned that toxicity to aquatic 
organisms may occur at concentrations as low as 1 ppb of the PMN 
substance in surface waters. EPA determined that use of the substance 
as described in the PMN did not present an unreasonable risk because 
the substance would not be released to surface waters resulting in 
concentrations above 1 ppb. EPA has determined that other uses of the 
substance may result in releases to surface water at concentrations 
above 1 ppb. Based on this information, the PMN substance meets the 
concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a fish acute toxicity study modified with 
humic acid (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.9962.

PMN Number P-94-1039

Chemical name: (generic) Diazo substituted carbomonocyclic metal 
complex.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a leather dye. 
Based on analogy to similar substances, the PMN substance may cause 
cancer, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, chronic toxicity 
to the liver, kidneys, and blood, and environmental toxicity to aquatic 
organisms. EPA has determined that persons exposed to the PMN substance 
through inhalation and aquatic organisms exposed to the substance in 
surface waters may be at risk for these toxic effects. EPA has 
determined that use of the substance as described in the PMN did not 
present an unreasonable risk because there were no significant 
environmental releases or worker exposures from manufacturing. EPA has 
determined that environmental releases and worker exposures during 
manufacturing may result in significant exposures. Based on this 
information, the PMN substance meets the concern criteria at 
Sec. 721.170(b)(3)(ii) and (b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a 90-day oral subchronic 
study (40 CFR 798.2650), a two-generation reproduction study (40 CFR 
798.4700), a developmental toxicity study (40 CFR 708.4900), a 2-year 
two-species oral bioassay (40 CFR 798.3300), and a chronic 60-day fish 
early life stage toxicity test in rainbow trout (40 CFR 797.1600), 
would help characterize the toxicity effects of the PMN substance.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.4596.

PMN Number P-94-1129

Chemical name: (generic) Alkylcyano substituted pyridazo benzoate.
CAS number: Not available.
Basis for action: The PMN substance will be used as a color component. 
Based on analogy to esters and neutral organic compounds, EPA is 
concerned that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations as low as 10 ppb of the PMN substance in surface waters. 
EPA determined that use of the substances as described in the PMN did 
not present an unreasonable risk because the substance would not be 
released to surface waters. EPA has determined that other uses of the 
substance may result in releases to surface waters which exceed the 
concern concentration. Based on this information, the PMN substance 
meets the concern criteria at Sec. 721.170(b)(4)(ii).
Recommended testing: EPA has determined that a fish acute toxicity 
study (40 CFR 797.1400), a daphnid acute toxicity study (40 CFR 
797.1300), and an algal acute toxicity study (40 CFR 797.1050) would 
help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substance.

help characterize the environmental effects of the PMN substances.
CFR citation: 40 CFR 721.642.

IV. Objectives and Rationale of the Rule

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances 
that are subject to this SNUR, EPA concluded that, for 12 of the 
substances, regulation was warranted under section 5(e) of TSCA, 
pending the development of information sufficient to make reasoned 
evaluations of the health or environmental effects of the substances. 
The basis for such findings is outlined in Unit III. of this preamble. 
Based on these findings, section 5(e) consent orders requiring the use 
of appropriate controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters; the 
SNUR provisions for these substances designated herein are consistent 
with the provisions of the section 5(e) orders.
    In the other 28 cases for which the proposed uses are not regulated 
under a section 5(e) order, EPA determined that one or more of the 
criteria of concern established at 40 CFR 721.170 were met.
    EPA is issuing this SNUR for specific chemical substances which 
have undergone premanufacture review to ensure that: EPA will receive 
notice of any company's intent to manufacture, import, or process a 
listed chemical substance for a significant new use before that 
activity begins; EPA will have an opportunity to review and evaluate 
data submitted in a SNUR notice before the notice submitter begins 
manufacturing, importing, or processing a listed chemical substance for 
a significant new use; when necessary to prevent unreasonable risks, 
EPA will be able to regulate prospective manufacturers, importers, or 
processors of a listed chemical substance before a significant new use 
of that substance occurs; and all manufacturers, importers, and 
processors of the same chemical substance which is subject to a section 
5(e) order are subject to similar requirements. Issuance of a SNUR for 
a chemical substance does not signify that the substance is listed on 
the TSCA Inventory. Manufacturers, importers, and processors are 
responsible for ensuring that a new chemical substance subject to a 
final SNUR is listed on the TSCA Inventory.

V. Direct Final Procedures

    EPA is issuing these SNURs as direct final rules, as described in 
40 CFR 721.160(c)(3) and 721.170(d)(4). In accordance with 40 CFR 
721.160(c)(3)(ii), this rule will be effective on May 1, 1995, unless 
EPA receives a written notice by March 31, 1995 that someone wishes to 
make adverse or critical comments on EPA's action. If EPA receives such 
a notice, EPA will publish a notice to withdraw the direct final SNUR 
for the specific substance to which the adverse or critical comments 
apply. EPA will then propose a SNUR for the specific substance 
providing a 30-day comment period. This action establishes SNURs for a 
number of chemical substances. Any person who submits a notice of 
intent to submit adverse or critical comments must identify the 
substance and the new use to which it applies. EPA will not withdraw a 
SNUR for a substance not identified in a notice.

VI. Test Data and Other Information

    EPA recognizes that section 5 of TSCA does not require developing 
any particular test data before submission of a SNUN. Persons are 
required only to submit test data in their possession or control and to 
describe any other data known to or reasonably ascertainable by them. 
In cases where a section 5(e) order requires or recommends certain 
testing, Unit III. of this preamble lists those recommended tests. 
However, EPA has established production limits in the section 5(e) 
orders for several of the substances regulated under this rule, in view 
of the lack of data on the potential health and environmental risks 
that may be posed by the significant new uses or increased exposure to 
the substances. These production limits cannot be exceeded unless the 
PMN submitter first submits the results of toxicity tests that would 
permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these 
substances. Under recent consent orders, each PMN submitter is required 
to submit each study at least 14 weeks (earlier orders required 
submissions at least 12 weeks) before reaching the specified production 
limit. Listings of the tests specified in the section 5(e) orders are 
included in Unit III. of this preamble. The SNURs contain the same 
production volume limits as the consent orders. Exceeding these 
production limits is defined as a significant new use. The recommended 
studies may not be the only means of addressing the potential risks of 
the substance. However, SNUNs submitted for significant new uses 
without any test data may increase the likelihood that EPA will take 
action under section 5(e), particularly if satisfactory test results 
have not been obtained from a prior submitter. EPA recommends that 
potential SNUN submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be 
able to conduct the appropriate tests. SNUN submitters should be aware 
that EPA will be better able to evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed 
information on:
    (1) Human exposure and environmental release that may result from 
the significant new use of the chemical substances.
    (2) Potential benefits of the substances.
    (3) Information on risks posed by the substances compared to risks 
posed by potential substitutes.

VII. Procedural Determinations

    EPA is establishing through this rule some significant new uses 
which have been claimed as CBI. EPA is required to keep this 
information confidential to protect the CBI of the original PMN 
submitter. EPA promulgated a procedure to deal with the situation where 
a specific significant new use is CBI. This procedure appears in 40 CFR 
721.1725(b)(1) and is similar to that in Sec. 721.11 for situations 
where the chemical identity of the substance subject to a SNUR is CBI. 
This procedure is cross-referenced in each of these SNURs.
    A manufacturer or importer may request EPA to determine whether a 
proposed use would be a significant new use under this rule. Under the 
procedure incorporated from Sec. 721.1725(b)(1), a manufacturer or 
importer must show that it has a bona fide intent to manufacture or 
import the substance and must identify the specific use for which it 
intends to manufacture or import the substance. If EPA concludes that 
the person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the 
substance, EPA will tell the person whether the use identified in the 
bona fide submission would be a significant new use under the rule. 
Since most of the chemical identities of the substances subject to 
these SNURs are also CBI, manufacturers and processors can combine the 
bona fide submission under the procedure in Sec. 721.1725(b)(1) with 
that under Sec. 721.11 into a single step.
    If a manufacturer or importer is told that the production volume 
identified in the bona fide submission would not be a significant new 
use, i.e. it is below the level that would be a significant new use, 
that person can manufacture or import the substance as long as the 
aggregate amount does not exceed that identified in the bona fide 
submission to [[Page 11040]] EPA. If the person later intends to exceed 
that volume, a new bona fide submission would be necessary to determine 
whether that higher volume would be a significant new use. EPA is 
considering whether to adopt a special procedure for use when CBI 
production volume is designated as a significant new use. Under such a 
procedure, a person showing a bona fide intent to manufacture or import 
the substance, under the procedure described in Sec. 721.11, would 
automatically be informed of the production volume that would be a 
significant new use. Thus the person would not have to make multiple 
bona fide submissions to EPA for the same substance to remain in 
compliance with the SNUR, as could be the case under the procedures in 
Sec. 721.1725(b)(1).

VIII. Applicability of Rule to Uses Occurring Before Effective Date 
of the Final Rule

    To establish a significant ``new'' use, EPA must determine that the 
use is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this rule have 
recently undergone premanufacture review. Section 5(e) orders have been 
issued for 12 substances and notice submitters are prohibited by the 
section 5(e) orders from undertaking activities which EPA is 
designating as significant new uses. In cases where EPA has not 
received a Notice of Commencement (NOC) and the substance has not been 
added to the Inventory, no other person may commence such activities 
without first submitting a PMN. For substances for which an NOC has not 
been submitted at this time, EPA has concluded that the uses are not 
ongoing. However, EPA recognizes in cases when chemical substances 
identified in this SNUR are added to the Inventory prior to the 
effective date of the rule, the substances may be manufactured, 
imported, or processed by other persons for a significant new use as 
defined in this rule before the effective date of the rule. However, 27 
of the 40 substances contained in this rule have CBI chemical 
identities, and since EPA has received a limited number of post-PMN 
bona fide submissions, the Agency believes that it is highly unlikely 
that any of the significant new uses described in the following 
regulatory text are ongoing. As discussed in the Federal Register of 
April 24, 1990 (55 FR 17376), EPA has decided that the intent of 
section 5(a)(1)(B) is best served by designating a use as a significant 
new use as of the date of publication of the final rule rather than as 
of the effective date of the rule. Thus, persons who begin commercial 
manufacture, import, or processing of the substances regulated through 
this SNUR will have to cease any such activity before the effective 
date of this rule. To resume their activities, these persons would have 
to comply with all applicable SNUR notice requirements and wait until 
the notice review period, including all extensions, expires.
    EPA has promulgated provisions to allow persons to comply with this 
SNUR before the effective date. If a person were to meet the conditions 
of advance compliance under Sec. 721.45(h), the person would be 
considered to have met the requirements of the final SNUR for those 
activities. If persons who begin commercial manufacture, import, or 
processing of the substance between publication and the effective date 
of the SNUR do not meet the conditions of advance compliance, they must 
cease that activity before the effective date of the rule. To resume 
their activities, these persons would have to comply with all 
applicable SNUR notice requirements and wait until the notice review 
period, including all extensions, expires.

IX. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing significant 
new use notice requirements for potential manufacturers, importers, and 
processors of the chemical substances subject to this rule. EPA's 
complete economic analysis is available in the public record for this 
rule (OPPTS-50620).

X. Rulemaking Record

    EPA has established a record for this rulemaking (docket control 
number OPPTS-50620). The record includes information considered by EPA 
in developing this rule. A public version of the record without any CBI 
is available in the TSCA Nonconfidential Information Center (NCIC) from 
12 noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. The 
TSCA NCIC is located in Rm. NE-B607, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 
20460.

XI. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the 
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' 
and therefore subject to all the requirements of the Executive Order 
(i.e., Regulatory Impact Analysis, review by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB)). Under section 3(f), the order defines a 
``significant regulatory action'' as an action likely to lead to a rule 
(1) Having an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or 
adversely and materially affecting a sector of the economy, 
productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or 
safety, or State, local or tribal governments or communities (``also 
referred to as economically significant''); (2) creating serious 
inconsistency or otherwise interfering with an action taken or planned 
by another agency; (3) materially altering the budgetary impacts of 
entitlement, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and 
obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) raising novel legal or policy 
issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or 
the principles set forth in this Executive Order. Pursuant to the terms 
of this Executive Order, it has been determined that this rule is not 
``significant'' and is therefore not subject to OMB review.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), EPA has 
determined that this rule would not have a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small businesses. EPA has determined that 
approximately 10 percent of the parties affected by this rule could be 
small businesses. However, EPA expects to receive few SNUNs for these 
substances. Therefore, EPA believes that the number of small businesses 
affected by this rule will not be substantial, even if all of the SNUR 
notice submitters were small firms.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    OMB has approved the information collection requirements contained 
in this rule under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and has assigned OMB control number 2070-0012. 
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated 
to vary from 30 to 170 hours per response, with an average of 100 hours 
per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching 
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and 
completing and reviewing the collection of information.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this 
burden, to Chief, Information Policy Branch (2131), Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460; and to Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC 20503, marked ``Attention: Desk Officer for EPA.'' The 
final rule will respond to any OMB or [[Page 11041]] public comments on 
the information requirements contained in this proposal.
