Withdrawal of Certain Chemical Substances from Preliminary 
Assessment Information Reporting and Health and Safety Data Reporting 
Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule, issued pursuant to sections 8(a) and 8(d) of 
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), withdraws certain chemical 
substances from the category of voluntary High Production Volume (HPV) 
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances that would 
be subject to reporting requirements under TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d). 
On August 16, 2006, EPA published two final rules both effective 
September 15, 2006, with certain exceptions: A Preliminary Assessment 
Information Reporting (PAIR) rule under TSCA section 8(a) (40 CFR part 
712), which requires manufacturers (including importers) of chemical 
substances in the category of voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan 
(unsponsored) chemical substances on the Interagency Testing 
Committee's (ITC) TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List to submit a 
one-time report on general production/importation volume, end use, and 
exposure-related information to EPA, and a Health and Safety Data 
Reporting rule under TSCA section 8(d) (40 CFR part 716), which 
requires manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances in 
this category of HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical 
substances to submit certain unpublished health and safety data to EPA. 
On September 15, 2006, EPA published a final rule that delayed the 
effective date of the rules published August 16, 2006, until September 
29, 2006. The chemical substances listed in this final rule are being 
withdrawn from 40 CFR parts 712 and 716 for good cause as specified in 
40 CFR 712.30(c) and 40 CFR 716.105(c) and, consequently, these listed 
chemical substances will not be subject to the reporting requirements 
imposed by the TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d) rules published on August 16, 
2006.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 29, 2006.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is withdrawing certain chemical substances that would be 
subject to the reporting requirements under TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d). 
On August 16, 2006, EPA published a final PAIR rule under TSCA section 
8(a) (40 CFR part 712), which requires manufacturers (including 
importers) of chemical substances in the category of voluntary HPV 
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances on the ITC's 
TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List to submit a one-time report on 
general production/importation volume, end use, and exposure-related 
information to EPA (71 FR 47122) (FRL-7764-9). Also on August 16, 2006, 
EPA published a final Health and Safety Data Reporting rule under TSCA 
section 8(d) (40 CFR part 716), which requires manufacturers (including 
importers) of chemical substances in this category of voluntary HPV 
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances to submit 
certain unpublished health and safety data to EPA (71 FR 47130) (FRL-
7764-7). On September 15, 2006, EPA published a final rule that revised 
the effective date of the two rules published on August 16, 2006 (71 FR 
54434) (FRL-8094-8). The effect of this withdrawal is that the listed 
chemical substances will not be subject to the reporting requirements 
imposed by the final TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d) rules published on 
August 16, 2006, and the rule published on September 15, 2006, that 
changed the effective date for these two rules.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking This Action?

    EPA promulgated the PAIR rule under TSCA section 8(a) (15 U.S.C. 
2607(a)), and it is codified at 40 CFR part 712. EPA uses this model 
TSCA section 8(a) rule to quickly gather current information on 
chemical substances. This model TSCA section 8(a) rule establishes 
standard reporting requirements for certain manufacturers (including 
importers) of the chemical substances listed in the rule at 40 CFR 
712.30. This model rule provides for the addition of TSCA section 4(e) 
ITC-recommended/designated Priority Testing List chemical substances to 
the list of chemical substances subject to reporting under 40 CFR part 
712. EPA amends, unless otherwise instructed by the ITC, the model TSCA 
section 8(a) rule by adding the ITC-recommended (or designated) 
chemical substances. The final rule published by EPA on August 16, 
2006, amended the model TSCA section 8(a) rule by adding the ITC 
category of certain voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan 
(unsponsored) chemical substances (Ref. 1).
    Under 40 CFR part 712.30(c), the Agency may withdraw, for good 
cause, a listed substance, mixture, or category from the rule's 
reporting requirements prior to the effective date of the rule. Any 
information submitted showing why a substance, mixture, or category 
should be removed from the rule must be received by EPA within 14 days 
after the date of publication of the rule. If a substance, mixture, or 
category is removed, a Federal Register document announcing this 
decision will be published no later than the effective date of the 
amendment. This Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to 
withdraw certain chemical substances from 40 CFR part 712 that were 
added by the Agency on August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1).
    EPA promulgated the model Health and Safety Data Reporting rule 
under TSCA section 8(d) (15 U.S.C. 2607(d)), and it is codified at 40 
CFR part 716. EPA uses this TSCA section 8(d) model rule to quickly 
gather current information on chemical substances. The TSCA section 
8(d) model rule requires past, current, and prospective manufacturers, 
importers, and (if specified by EPA in a particular notice or rule 
under TSCA section 8(d)) processors of listed chemical substances to 
submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies 
on the listed chemical substances that they manufacture, import, or (if 
specified by EPA in a particular notice or rule under TSCA section 
8(d)) process. This model rule provides for the addition of TSCA 
section 4(e) ITC-recommended/designated Priority Testing List chemical 
substances to the list of chemical substances subject to reporting 
under 40 CFR part 716. EPA

[[Page 57441]]

amends, unless otherwise instructed by the ITC, the model TSCA section 
8(d) rule by adding the ITC-recommended (or designated) chemical 
substances. The final rule published by EPA on August 16, 2006, amended 
the model TSCA section 8(d) rule by adding the ITC category of certain 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical 
substances (Ref. 2).
    Under 40 CFR 716.105(c), the Agency may withdraw, for good cause, a 
listed substance, mixture, or category from the rule's reporting 
requirements prior to the effective date of the rule. Any information 
submitted showing why a chemical substance, mixture, or category of 
chemical substances should be withdrawn from the amendment must be 
received by EPA within 14 days after the date of publication of the 
rule. If a chemical substance, mixture, or category of chemical 
substances is withdrawn, a Federal Register document announcing this 
decision will be published no later than the effective date of the 
amendment. This Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to 
withdraw certain chemical substances from 40 CFR part 716 that were 
added by the Agency on August 16, 2006 (Ref. 2).
    These withdrawal actions do not preclude potential future listing 
under the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule or the TSCA section 8(d) Health 
and Safety Data Reporting rule should the information be reasonably 
required.

C. Why is this Action Being Issued as a Final Rule?

    EPA is publishing this action as a final rule without prior notice 
and an opportunity for comment pursuant to the procedures set forth in 
40 CFR 712.30(c) and 716.105(c). EPA finds that there is good cause 
under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to 
make these amendments without prior notice and comment. EPA believes 
notice and an opportunity for comment on this action are unnecessary.
    TSCA directs the ITC to add chemical substances to the Priority 
Testing List for which EPA should give priority consideration. Pursuant 
to 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c), once the ITC adds a chemical substance to 
the Priority Testing List, EPA in turn is obliged to add that chemical 
substance to the list of chemical substances subject to the Health and 
Safety Data Reporting rule reporting requirements, unless requested not 
to do so by the ITC. EPA also has the discretion, under 40 CFR 
716.105(c), to withdraw a listed substance, mixture, or category from 
the list of subject chemical substances based on information submitted 
to EPA that shows why a chemical substance should be removed from the 
rule. EPA promulgated this procedure in 1985 after having solicited 
public comment on the need for and mechanics of this procedure. (See 
the Federal Register of August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34809)). Because that 
document established the procedure for adding and withdrawing ITC 
chemical substances to the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule, it is 
unnecessary to request comment on the procedure in this action. EPA 
believes this action does not raise any relevant issues for comment. 
EPA is not changing the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule reporting 
requirements or the process set forth in 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c). 
This action is also consistent with the EPA policy articulated in the 
August 16, 2006 rule that sponsorship of a chemical substance under the 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program is generally good cause for withdrawing 
a chemical substance from the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule.
    Similarly, pursuant to 40 CFR 712.30(c), once the ITC adds a 
chemical substance to the Priority Testing List, EPA in turn is obliged 
to add that chemical substance to the list of chemical substances 
subject to PAIR reporting requirements, unless requested not to do so 
by the ITC. EPA also has the discretion, under 40 CFR 716.30(c), to 
withdraw a listed substance, mixture, or category from the list of 
subject chemical substances based on information submitted to EPA that 
shows why a chemical substance should be removed from the rule. EPA 
promulgated this procedure in 1985 after having solicited public 
comment on the need for and mechanics of this procedure. (See the 
Federal Register of August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34805)). Because that 
rulemaking established the procedure for adding and withdrawing ITC 
chemical substances to the PAIR rule, it is unnecessary to request 
comment on the procedure in this action. EPA believes this action does 
not raise any relevant issues for comment. EPA is not changing the PAIR 
rule reporting requirements or the process set forth in 40 CFR 
712.30(c). This action is also consistent with the EPA policy 
articulated in the August 16, 2006 rule that sponsorship of a chemical 
substance under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program is generally good 
cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the PAIR rule.

III. Final Rule

A. Why are These Chemical Substances Being Withdrawn?

    Pursuant to TSCA section 8(a), EPA published a PAIR final rule on 
August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1), which requires manufacturers (including 
importers) of chemical substances in the category (as defined by the 
55\th\, 56\th\, and 58\th\ ITC Reports (Refs. 3, 4, and 5)) of 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical 
substances on the ITCs TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List to 
submit a report to EPA on general production/importation volume, end 
use, and exposure-related information to EPA.
    Also on August 16, 2006, EPA published, pursuant to TSCA section 
8(d), a Health and Safety Data Reporting final rule (Ref. 2), which 
requires manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances in 
the category (as defined by the 55\th\, 56\th\, and 58\th\ ITC Reports 
(Refs. 3, 4, and 5)) of voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan 
(unsponsored) chemical substances on the ITC's TSCA section 4(e) 
Priority Testing List to submit certain unpublished health and safety 
data to EPA.
    As stated in these two rules that added the voluntary HPV Challenge 
Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances category to 40 CFR 
parts 712 and 716 (Refs. 1 and 2), EPA has established a policy 
regarding acceptance of new commitments to sponsor chemical substances 
under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program (Ref. 6). Under this policy, 
EPA stated that it would accept new commitments to sponsor chemical 
substances under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program for any of the 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical 
substances listed in the regulatory texts of the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR 
rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data 
Reporting rule (Ref. 2) provided that these new commitments to the 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program were received by EPA within 14 days 
after the date of publication of these two rules in the Federal 
Register. EPA generally believes that a timely commitment to sponsor 
chemical substances under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program 
establishes good cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the 
TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health and 
Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2). EPA also stated in the August 16, 
2006 rules that it would remove chemical substances from the TSCA 
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d)

[[Page 57442]]

Health and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2), in accordance with the 
procedures described in 40 CFR 712.30(c) and 40 CFR 716.105(c), if 
withdrawal requests submitted to EPA in conjunction with these new 
commitments to the voluntary HPV Challenge Program were received on or 
before 14 days after date of publication of the two rules in the 
Federal Register.
    For 22 of the chemical substances listed in this document, EPA 
received commitments to the voluntary HPV Challenge Program prior to or 
within 14 days after the date of publication of the TSCA section 8(a) 
PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data 
Reporting rule (Ref. 2) in the Federal Register. These commitments to 
the voluntary HPV Challenge Program are accepted and, based on EPA's 
commitment policy (Ref. 6), EPA is removing these chemical substances 
from the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA section 
8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2).
    In addition, EPA is removing four chemical substances from the TSCA 
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA secton 8(d) Health 
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2) because of commitments made to 
sponsor chemical substances under the OECD HPV Screening Information 
Data Set (SIDS) Program and/or the ICCA HPV Initiative. The OECD SIDS 
program and the ICCA HPV Initiative are complementary programs to the 
HPV Challenge, and EPA believes its policy regarding commitments to 
sponsor chemical substances under the HPV Challenge should also 
generally apply to the OECD SIDS program and ICCA HPV Initiative. Thus, 
EPA believes that a commitment to sponsor chemical substances under the 
OECD SIDS Program or the ICCA HPV Initiative generally establishes good 
cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the TSCA section 8(a) 
PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data 
Reporting rule (Ref. 2).
    EPA is also removing seven chemical substances from the TSCA 
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA section 8(d) Health 
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2) because EPA has received 
written requests for removal of these chemical substances from the 
voluntary HPV Challenge Program on the basis that the chemical 
substances are ``no longer'' HPV. EPA has determined that the 
substantiation provided in these written requests, which was based on 
reporting under EPA's Inventory Update Rule (IUR), is consistent with 
EPA's guidance for removing chemical substances that are no longer HPV 
(Ref. 9) and, consequently, EPA believes that this determination 
establishes good cause for withdrawing these chemical substances from 
the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health 
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2). Because this determination was 
based on data obtained under the IUR, EPA does not believe comment is 
necessary on whether these chemical substances meet the volume 
threshold for HPV status.
    EPA has also determined that good cause does not exist to remove 
several other chemical substances that were the subject of withdrawal 
requests. The rationales for these determinations are in the docket for 
this action.
    The net result of these removals is that 210 chemical substances 
remain subject to the reporting requirements imposed by the TSCA 
section 8(a) and 8(d) rules published on August 16, 2006.

B. What Chemical Substances are Being Withdrawn and the Rationale for 
Withdrawal?

    Under EPA's authority, 15 U.S.C. 2607(a), the chemical substances 
in the table in this unit are being removed from the table in 40 CFR 
712.30(e) of the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule published in the Federal 
Register of August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1), and the table in 40 CFR 
716.120(d) of the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting 
rule published in the Federal Register of August 16, 2006 (Ref. 2).

C. Economic Analysis

    In the economic analysis conducted for the final TSCA section 8(a) 
PAIR rule, the Agency estimated the total reporting cost to industry to 
be $644,000 for all 243 chemical substances, or approximately $2,650 
per chemical substance (Ref. 7). The Agency is estimated to incur an 
additional $248,000 or $1,021 per chemical substance to provide public 
support for the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule and to process the data 
(Ref. 7). The total cost of the 8(a) rule, per chemical substance, is 
estimated to be approximately $3,671. This final rule will withdraw 33 
chemical substances from the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule. Therefore, 
costs are estimated to be reduced by $121,143 (33 chemical substances x 
$3,671 per chemical substance).
    Furthermore, this final rule will also remove 33 chemical 
substances from the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting 
rule. The economic analysis conducted for the TSCA section 8(d) Health 
and Safety Data Reporting rule estimates that the total cost to 
industry is $110,000 and to the Agency is $79,000, or $453 and $325 per 
chemical substance, respectively, for a total of $778 per chemical 
substance (Ref. 8). Because this final rule will withdraw 33 chemical 
substances from the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting 
rule, the costs of the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data 
Reporting rule are estimated to be reduced by $25,674 (33 chemical 
substances x $778).
    Therefore, the withdrawal of 33 chemical substances from the TSCA 
section 8(a) and TSCA section 8(d) rules is estimated to result in a 
total reduction in costs of $146,817.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted actions 
under TSCA sections 8 (a) and (d) related to the PAIR and Health and 
Safety Data Reporting rules from the requirements of Executive Order 
12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 
1993). In addition, this rule does not impose any new requirements and 
will result in a burden and cost reduction; therefore it is not subject 
to OMB review under the Executive order.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements contained in TSCA sections 
8(a) PAIR and 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rules have already 
been approved by OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and OMB control numbers 2070-0054 
(EPA ICR No. 0586) and 2070-0004 (EPA ICR No. 0575). The collection 
activities in this rule are captured by the existing approval and do 
not require additional review and/or approval by OMB.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because this rule eliminates reporting requirements, the Agency 
certifies pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., that this revocation of certain 
requirements under TSCA sections 8(a) and 8(d) will not have a 
significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(UMRA), Public Law 104-4, EPA has determined that this rule does not 
contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 
million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. In addition, EPA has 
determined that this rule will not significantly or uniquely affect 
small governments. Accordingly, the rule is not subject to the 
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This rule has no Federalism implications, because it will not have 
substantial direct effects 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, as specified 
in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 
1999).

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

    This rule has no tribal implications because it will not have 
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the 
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, nor on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes as specified in Executive Order 13175, 
entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments 
(59 FR 22951, November 6, 2000).

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

    Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from 
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 
23,1997), does not apply to this rule because this is not an 
economically significant regulatory action as defined under Executive 
Order 12866, and it does not concern an environmental health or safety 
risk that may have a disproportionate effect on children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions 
that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 
28355, May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect 
energy supply, distribution, or use.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Because this action does not involve any technical standards, 
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act 
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note), does not apply to this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    This action does not involve special considerations of 
environmental justice-related issues pursuant to Executive Order 12898, 
entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority 
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

VI. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., 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).
