Technical Amendments to TSCA Regulations to Update Addresses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing technical amendments to several regulations
under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These amendments revise
the addresses for mailing information to, requesting information from,
or otherwise contacting certain offices in the Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT). Additionally, this document makes
technical amendments to certain information submission procedures that
pertain to TSCA section 4 test rules and consent orders.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule takes effect on July 3, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director,
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,
Washington, DC 20460, Telephone: (202) 554-1404, TDD: (554-0551); TSCA-
Hotline@epamail.epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document makes technical amendments to
certain TSCA regulations (40 CFR parts 700 to end). The technical
amendments update the mailing addresses for submissions of information
to, requesting information from, or otherwise contacting certain
offices in OPPT. The addresses currently listed in the regulations have
been changed and should no longer be used. Updating applicable
addresses will ensure that OPPT receives all information requests and
submissions in a timely manner.
Additionally, in order to centralize document receipt and to reduce
burdens associated with the submission of information under TSCA
section 4 test rules and consent orders, EPA is revising its section 4
procedural rules at 40 CFR Part 790 so that all documents and requests
for actions be sent to the address published in 40 CFR 790.5(b). The
current procedural rules require under Sec. 790.5(d) that certain
submissions and inquiries relating to test rules and consent orders be
submitted to the Director of the Office of Compliance Monitoring (OCM).
Some of these submissions are duplicative (e.g., the requirement at 40
CFR 790.5(d) to submit to OCM copies of transmittal memos accompanying
material submitted to OPPT under Sec. 790.5(b)). In addition, the
responsibility to handle other, non-duplicative submissions, as well as
questions, has been assigned to OPPT as the result of EPA streamlining
and reorganization efforts that have eliminated OCM. Therefore, EPA is
removing Sec. 790.5(d) and references to that section. Where
appropriate, EPA is replacing references to Sec. 790.5(d) with
references to Sec. 790.5(b).
Because these are non-substantive procedural changes, notice and
public comment are not necessary. These changes are effective
immediately.
I. Rulemaking Record
EPA has established a record for this rulemaking (docket control
number OPPTS-00173). A public version of the record, without any
confidential business information is available in the Non-Confidential
Information Center (NCIC) (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Room B-607 NEM, 401 M
Street, SW., Washington, DC, 20460, between the hours of 12 p.m. and 4
p.m. weekdays excluding legal holidays.
II. Regulatory Assessment Requirements Analyses Under Executive
Order 12866, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and the Paperwork Reduction Act
Because this action is limited to intra-agency procedural changes,
including updating addresses, consolidating addressees and eliminating
unnecessary procedural duplication, there is no ``significant''
regulatory action within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993). In addition, this action does not impose any
additional Federal mandates on State, local, or tribal governments or
the private sector within the meaning of The Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995. For these reasons, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), I certify that this action would not have a
significant economic impact
[[Page 34463]]
on a substantial number of small entities. In addition, because no
substantive requirement in the procedural rule is being increased, this
action does not affect the requirements under the Paperwork Reduction
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501.
