RIN 2070-AB27
Significant New Uses of Certain Chemical Substances; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA issued a document (FR Doc. 98-1074) in the Federal
Register of January 22, 1998 adding significant new use rules (SNUR)
for 163 substances. This document inadvertently assigned notification
requirements for a substance already subject to a SNUR and several
notification requirements under Sec. 721.63 for one SNUR. EPA did not
intend to issue these notification requirements. This action is
necessary in order to issue the correct notification requirements.
DATES: This document is effective on February 25, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director,
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-543A, 401
M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, telephone: (202) 554-1404, TDD: (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a document (FR Doc. 98-1074) in
the Federal Register of January 22, 1998 (63 FR 3394) (FRL-5720-3),
which inadvertently assigned notification requirements for a substance
already subject to a SNUR and several notification requirements under
Sec. 721.63 for one SNUR. This correction removes the notification
requirements entirely for Sec. 721.5730 and changes the notification
requirements under Sec. 721.63 for Sec. 721.9662(a)(2)(i).
On page 3432, in the first column, amendatory instruction 69. and
Sec. 721.5730 should be removed.
On page 3439, in the first column, in Sec. 721.9662(a)(2)(i), in
the third line, ``(a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (a)(4), (a)(5)(xii), (a)(5)(xiii),
(a)(5)(xiv), and (a)(6)(v).'' should read ``(a)(1) and (a)(2)(i).''
I. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
This final rule does not impose any requirements. It only
implements a correction to the Code of Federal Regulations. As such,
this action does not require review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or Executive Order 13045,
entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). For the same reason, it
does not require any action under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4), Executive Order 12875,
entitled ``Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership'' (58 FR 58093,
October 28, 1993), or Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal Actions
to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, since this
type of
[[Page 9442]]
action does not require any proposal, no action is needed under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
II. Submission to Congress and Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
