Preliminary Lists Identifying Manufacturers Subject to Fee 
Obligations for EPA-Initiated Risk Evaluations Under Section 6 of the 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability and Request 
for Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: As required by EPA's Final Rule on Fees for the Administration 
of TSCA (the Fees Rule), in which EPA established fees to defray some 
of the costs of administering certain provisions of the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA), this Notice identifies the preliminary 
lists of manufacturers (including importers) of 20 chemical substances 
that have been designated as a High-Priority Substance for risk 
evaluation and for which fees will be charged. EPA is providing a 60-
day comment period during which manufacturers (including importers) are 
required to self-identify as a manufacturer of a High-Priority 
Substance irrespective of whether they are included on the preliminary 
lists. Where appropriate, entities may also avoid or reduce fee 
obligations by making certain certifications consistent with the Fees 
Rule. During this 60-day comment period, the public will have the 
opportunity to correct errors or provide comments on the preliminary 
lists. EPA expects to publish final lists of manufacturers (including 
importers) subject to fees no later than concurrently with the 
publication of the final scope document for risk evaluations of these 
20 High-Priority Substances. Manufacturers (including importers) 
identified on the final lists will be subject to applicable fees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action applies to entities that manufacture a chemical 
substance (including import of the chemical substance or import of an 
article containing the chemical substance) undergoing a risk evaluation 
under TSCA section 6(b) (e.g., entities identified under North American 
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 and 324110). The 
action may also be of interest to chemical processors, distributors in 
commerce, and users; non-governmental organizations in the 
environmental and public health sectors; state and local government 
agencies; and members of the public. Since other entities may also be 
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities and corresponding NAICS codes for entities that may be 
interested in or affected by this action.

B. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is publishing preliminary lists identifying manufacturers 
(including importers) that may be subject to fee

[[Page 4662]]

obligations under 40 CFR 700.45, associated with each EPA-initiated 
risk evaluation of 20 High-Priority Substances under TSCA section 6. 
EPA is also providing an opportunity for public comment during which 
manufacturers (including importers) are required to self-identify as a 
manufacturer (including importer) of a High-Priority Substance, 
irrespective of whether they are listed on the preliminary list. During 
this comment period, manufacturers and importers may make certain 
certifications to EPA to avoid or reduce fee obligations. The public 
will also have the opportunity to correct errors or provide comments on 
the preliminary lists. EPA's 60-day comment period exceeds the minimum 
30-day comment period established in the Fees Rule codified at 40 CFR 
700.45(b)(4) to maximize public participation during the first comment 
period for an initial lists of manufacturers (including importers) 
subject to fee obligations for EPA-initiated risk evaluations under 
TSCA section 6. EPA expects to publish final lists of manufacturers 
(including importers) subject to fees no later than concurrently with 
the publication of the final scope document for risk evaluations of 
these 20 High-Priority Substances. Manufacturers (including importers) 
identified on the final lists will be subject to applicable fees under 
40 CFR 700.45.

C. Why is the Agency taking this action?

    As amended in by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 
21st Century Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 114-182), TSCA authorized EPA to 
establish, by rule, a fee structure to defray some of the costs of 
administering certain provisions of TSCA. Pursuant to Fees Rule, the 
Agency will collect payment from manufacturers (including importers) 
who manufacture (including import) a chemical substance that is the 
subject of a risk evaluation under TSCA section 6(b). As intended by 
Congress, these fees are a sustainable source of funds for EPA to 
fulfill its legal obligations such as conducting risk evaluations to 
determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of 
injury to health or the environment, as required under TSCA section 6. 
Pursuant to section 6(b) of TSCA and its implementing regulations, EPA 
has designated 20 chemical substances as High-Priority Substances for 
risk evaluation (84 FR 71924, December 30, 2019) (FRL-10003-15); those 
substances are also listed in Unit III. EPA is now preliminarily 
identifying the manufacturers (including importers) that may be subject 
to fee obligations associated with the risk evaluations of these High-
Priority Substances.

D. What is the Agency's authority for this action?

    TSCA provides EPA with authority to establish fees to defray a 
portion of the costs associated with administering EPA-initiated TSCA 
section 6 risk evaluations. On September 27, 2018, EPA finalized a rule 
imposing a fee for any person who manufactures (including imports) a 
chemical substance that is the subject of an EPA-initiated risk 
evaluation under TSCA section 6 (Ref. 1). The requirements for those 
fee payments are codified in 40 CFR 700.45.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting Confidential Business Information (CBI). Do not 
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. 
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be 
CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside 
of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within 
the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In 
addition to one complete version of the comment that includes 
information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain 
the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the 
public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in 
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

    TSCA section 6(b)(1) requires EPA to prioritize 20 chemical 
substances as High-Priority Substances. In accordance with TSCA section 
6(b) and 40 CFR 702.7, on March 21, 2019, EPA initiated the 
prioritization process for 20 chemical substances identified as 
candidates for High-Priority Substance designation (Ref. 2). On August 
23, 2019, EPA proposed to designate the same 20 chemical substances as 
High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation (Ref. 3). After 
considering additional information collected during the comment periods 
following initiation of prioritization and the proposed designation, 
EPA finalized, in a separate action, the High-Priority Substance 
designations of the same 20 chemical substance proposed for High-
Priority Substance designations (Ref. 4). EPA is now announcing the 
availability of the preliminary lists for the 20 High-Priority 
Substances designated (Refs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24).

A. Preliminary Lists, Final Lists, and Fee Obligations of 
Manufacturers/Importers

    This Notice describes EPA's preliminary lists of manufacturers 
(including importers) who are potentially responsible for payment of 
fees, as required by 40 CFR 700.45, and associated with each TSCA 
section 6 risk evaluation that EPA will initiate for 20 High-Priority 
Substances (Ref. 1). The preliminary lists are available at docket 
number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0677 at http://www.regulations.gov and on EPA's 
website at http://www.epa.gov/TSCA-fees. As described in Unit III.C. of 
the preamble to the Fees Rule (Ref. 2), EPA developed each preliminary 
list using the most up-to-date information available, including 
information submitted to the Agency (e.g., information submitted under 
TSCA section 8(a) (including the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Rule) 
and section 8(b), and to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)). EPA 
considered using other sources of information available to the Agency, 
such as publicly available information (e.g., Panjiva, Datamyne) or 
information submitted to other agencies to which EPA has access (e.g., 
U.S. Custom and Border Patrol data) but concluded that data quality 
limitations would create more false positives than appropriate 
additions to the lists. Additionally, EPA believes the Self-
Identification process, established by 40 CFR 700.45(b)(5), will be 
sufficient to identify additional manufacturers (including importers), 
as appropriate. To include the two most recent CDR reporting cycle data 
(collected every four years) and to account for annual or other typical 
fluctuations in manufacturing (including import), EPA used six years of 
data submitted or available to the Agency under CDR and TRI to create 
the preliminary lists (2012--2018).
    This Notice initiates a 60-day comment period during which 
manufacturers (including importers) of the chemical substance must 
self-identify to EPA irrespective of whether they are included on a 
preliminary list. Where appropriate, entities may also certify as to no 
manufacture or cessation of manufacture in accordance with 40 CFR 
700.45(b)(5). Manufacturers (including importers) are required to 
provide EPA with the contact information as described in 40 CFR 
700.45(b)(5)(i). Other stakeholders also

[[Page 4663]]

have the opportunity to correct errors in the preliminary lists. This 
process is explained further in Unit II.B.
    Following the comment period and no later than the date EPA issues 
the final scope document as part of the risk evaluations for these 20 
High-Chemical Substances, EPA expects to publish a final list of 
manufacturers subject to fees for each chemical substance. 
Manufacturers listed on the final lists will be subject to applicable 
fees under 40 CFR 700.45.
    Fee obligations are set forth in 40 CFR 700.45 and include a total 
fee of $1,350,000 for EPA-initiated risk evaluations, with a reduced 
fee amount for small business concerns (Ref. 2). The total fee is 
shared amongst all identified manufacturers (including importers). The 
Fees Rule provides more detailed information on how EPA determined the 
fee amounts (Ref. 2). The fees established in 2018 are fees for the 
2019, 2020, and 2021 fiscal years. Fees for the 2022 and later fiscal 
years may be adjusted on a three-year cycle as described in the final 
Fees Rule (Ref. 2).
    As required by 40 CFR 700.45(g)(3)(iv)(A), payment of fees are due 
within 120 days following the publication of the final scope of a 
chemical risk evaluation. Manufacturers may also form a consortium to 
pay fees in accordance with 40 CFR 700.45(f)(3). The consortium must 
notify EPA that a consortium has formed within 60 days of the 
publication of the final scope of a risk evaluation. Once established, 
the consortium would determine how the fee would be split among the 
members, and ultimately paid to EPA. For additional information on the 
possible division of costs amongst consortia and individual 
manufacturers, please see the fees rule Unit III.J, Multiple Parties 
Subject to Fee Obligation (Ref. 1).

B. Self-Identification Requirement

    In accordance with 40 CFR 700.45(b)(5), all manufacturers who have 
manufactured or imported any of the 20 chemical substances designated 
as High-Priority Substances (Ref. 5) in the previous five years, must 
submit notice to EPA, irrespective of whether they are included in the 
preliminary lists. The notice must be submitted electronically via 
EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), the Agency's electronic reporting 
portal, and must contain the following information: Name and address of 
the submitting company, the name and address of the authorized official 
for the submitting company, and the name and telephone number of a 
person who will serve as technical contact for the submitting company 
and who will be able to answer questions about the information 
submitted by the company to EPA. EPA has also made the Chemical 
Information Submission System (CISS) reporting tool available for this 
electronic reporting.
    All manufacturers (including importers) of these chemical 
substances, including those who import the chemical as part of an 
article, or manufacture (including import) chemical substances that are 
considered an impurity or byproduct, or in small amounts are subject to 
the Fees Rule requirements. TSCA requires EPA to evaluate chemicals 
under their conditions of use, and conditions of use evaluated may 
involve import of articles containing the chemical, the manufacture of 
the chemical as an impurity or byproduct, or in small amounts. As 
described in Unit III.E. of the Fees Rule, EPA does not exempt these 
manufacturers from fee obligations for TSCA section 6 activities.
    Manufacturers (including importers) on the preliminary lists have 
an opportunity to certify through CDX that: (1) They have already 
ceased manufacturing prior to the defined cutoff dates and will not 
manufacture (including import) for five years; or (2) they have not 
manufactured the chemical substance in the five-year period preceding 
publication of the preliminary lists. For this group of 20 chemicals, 
the cutoff date for ceasing manufacture or import of a chemical 
substance is March 20, 2019, which is the day prior to initiation of 
the prioritization process for the applicable designated High-Priority 
Substance. If EPA receives such a certification statement from a 
manufacturer, then the manufacturer will not be obligated to pay the 
fee. Manufacturers who are not listed on the preliminary lists and 
otherwise believe they can ``certify out'' as described in this Unit 
and in 40 CFR 700.45(b)(5) may choose to attest to these facts to EPA. 
In addition, entities will have the opportunity to certify as to 
whether they meet the definition of a ``small business concern'' as 
defined in the Fees Rule and qualify for a reduced fee amount.
    If information received during the public comment period would 
prompt the addition of manufacturers (including importers) to the final 
lists, then EPA plans to first notify those manufacturers (including 
importers). Manufacturers (including importers) who plan to cease 
manufacture (including import) in the future (but have not yet done 
so), or those who have already ceased but may re-enter the market 
within the next five years, would not be permitted to ``certify out'', 
and would still be subject to the fee obligation.

C. Failure To Self-Identify

    Manufacturers (including importers) who fail to identify themselves 
as manufacturers subject to fee obligations, as required by the Fees 
Rule (Ref. 1), may be subject to a penalty under TSCA section 16. Each 
day of failed self-identification by a manufacturer (including 
importer) past the payment due date is a separate TSCA violation 
subject to penalty. Likewise, manufacturers (including importers) who 
falsely certify to having ceased manufacture (including import) or not 
re-initiating manufacture (including import) within five years will 
also be subject to penalty, as described in Unit III.C.7. of the Fees 
Rule.

III. Request for Comments and Manufacturer Information

    With publication of the preliminary lists, EPA is providing a 60-
day comment period for manufacturers and the public to correct errors, 
self-identify as a manufacturer, or certify that they have already 
exited the market and that they will not resume manufacture (including 
import) for a period of five years.

A. The Preliminary Lists

    The preliminary lists of manufacturers (including importers) that 
may be subject to fee obligations under 40 CFR 700.45 associated with 
EPA-initiated risk evaluations of 20 High-Priority Substances are in 
this docket; there is a separate preliminary list for each substance 
(Refs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 
22, 23, and 24). Each list is provided in two formats: A searchable 
Excel file and in two PDF files--the first file presenting 
manufacturers in parent company name order and the second file 
presenting manufacturers in parent company Dun & Bradstreet Number 
order. Instructions for using the searchable Excel file are presented 
in the READ ME FIRST tab. Instructions for accessing the TSCA section 6 
User Fees application through CDX are also provided in the READ ME 
FIRST tab and at the top of the PDF files.
    EPA is soliciting public comments that would inform the final lists 
defining the universe of manufacturers (including importers) obligated 
to pay fees associated with each TSCA section 6 EPA-initiated risk 
evaluation for the 20 following chemicals, which separately have been 
designated as High Priority Substances for risk evaluation (Ref. 4):

D. Providing Public Comments

    Please see Unit I.E for more information on how to submit comments 
to EPA. After the comment period for the preliminary lists of entities 
subject to a fee obligation, EPA expects to make any necessary updates 
or corrections before publishing final lists of manufacturers for each 
of the 20 High-Priority Substances. EPA expects that these final lists 
will indicate if any manufacturers were identified in error, any 
additional manufacturers that were identified through the comment 
period or self-identification process, and if any manufacturers have 
certified that they have already ceased manufacture (including import) 
prior to the cutoff date of March 20, 2019 and will not manufacture the 
subject chemical substance for five years. Each final list will be 
published concurrently with the final scope document for each risk 
evaluation initiated by EPA under TSCA section 6 for these 20 High-
Priority Substances.
