Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (21-
3.5e)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical substances that were 
the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to 
Orders issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons who 
intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process 
any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a 
significant new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before 
commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's 
evaluation of the use, under the conditions of use for that chemical 
substance, within the applicable review period. Persons may not 
commence manufacture or processing for the significant new use until 
EPA has conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate 
determination on the notice, and has taken such actions as are required 
by that determination.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification 
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0568, through the Federal eRulemaking

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture, 
process, or use the chemical substances contained in this proposed 
rule. The following list of North American Industrial Classification 
System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 
provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document 
applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:
     Manufacturers or processors of one or more subject 
chemical substances (NAICS codes 325 and 324110), e.g., chemical 
manufacturing and petroleum refineries.
    This action may also affect certain entities through pre-existing 
import certification and export notification rules under TSCA. Chemical 
importers are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import 
provisions promulgated at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 and 19 CFR 
127.28. Chemical importers must certify that the shipment of the 
chemical substance complies with all applicable rules and Orders under 
TSCA, which would include the SNUR requirements should these proposed 
rules be finalized. The EPA policy in support of import certification 
appears at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, pursuant to 40 CFR 
721.20, any persons who export or intend to export a chemical substance 
that is the subject of this proposed rule on or after July 25, 2022 are 
subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15 
U.S.C. 2611(b)) (see 40 CFR 721.20), and must comply with the export 
notification requirements in 40 CFR part 707, subpart D.

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

    1. Submitting 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 information 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 https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing these SNURs under TSCA section 5(a)(2) (15 U.S.C. 
2604(a)(2)) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of 
PMNs. These proposed SNURs would require persons to notify EPA at least 
90 days before commencing the manufacture or processing of any of these 
chemical substances for an activity proposed as a significant new use. 
Receipt of such notices would allow EPA to assess risks and, if

[[Page 37784]]

appropriate, to regulate the significant new use before it may occur.
    The docket for these proposed SNURs, identified as docket ID number 
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2021-0568, includes information considered by the Agency in 
developing these proposed SNURs.

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

    TSCA section 5(a)(2) (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 the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors 
listed in Unit III.

C. Applicability of General Provisions

    General provisions for SNURs appear in 40 CFR part 721, subpart A. 
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 rule. 
Provisions relating to user fees appear at 40 CFR part 700. Pursuant to 
40 CFR 721.1(c), persons subject to these SNURs must comply with the 
same significant new use notice (SNUN) requirements and EPA regulatory 
procedures as submitters of PMNs under TSCA section 5(a)(1)(A). These 
requirements include the information submission requirements of TSCA 
sections 5(b) and 5(d)(1), the exemptions authorized by TSCA sections 
5(h)(1), (h)(2), (h)(3), and (h)(5), and the regulations at 40 CFR part 
720. Once EPA receives a SNUN and before the manufacture or processing 
for the significant new use can commence, EPA must either determine 
that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury 
under the conditions of use for the chemical substance or take such 
regulatory action as is associated with an alternative determination. 
If EPA determines that the use is not likely to present an unreasonable 
risk, EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to make public, and 
submit for publication in the Federal Register, a statement of EPA's 
findings.

III. Significant New Use Determination

    TSCA section 5(a)(2) states that EPA's determination that a use of 
a chemical substance is a significant new use must be made after 
consideration of all relevant factors, including:
     The projected volume of manufacturing and processing of a 
chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use changes the type or form of 
exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical substance.
     The extent to which a use increases the magnitude and 
duration of exposure of human beings or the environment to a chemical 
substance.
     The reasonably anticipated manner and methods of 
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, and disposal of a 
chemical substance.
    In determining what would constitute a significant new use for the 
chemical substances that are the subject of these SNURs, EPA considered 
relevant information about the toxicity of the chemical substances, 
potential human exposures and environmental releases that may be 
associated with possible uses of these chemical substances, in the 
context of the four TSCA section 5(a)(2) factors listed in this unit.
    The proposed rules include PMN substances that are subject to 
Orders issued under TSCA section 5(e)(1)(A), as required by the 
determinations made under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(B). The TSCA Orders 
require protective measures to limit exposures or otherwise mitigate 
the potential unreasonable risk. The proposed SNURs identify 
significant new uses as any manufacturing, processing, use, 
distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not conform to the 
restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, consistent with 
TSCA section 5(f)(4).
    Where EPA determined that the PMN substance may present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to human health via inhalation exposure to 
workers, the underlying TSCA Order usually requires that potentially 
exposed employees wear specified respirators unless actual measurements 
of the workplace air show that air-borne concentrations of the PMN 
substance are below a New Chemical Exposure Limit (NCEL), and includes 
requirements addressing performance criteria for sampling and 
analytical methods, periodic monitoring, respiratory protection, and 
recordkeeping. No comparable NCEL provisions currently exist in 40 CFR 
part 721, subpart B, for SNURs. Therefore, for these cases, the 
individual SNURs in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E, will state that persons 
subject to the SNUR who wish to pursue NCELs as an alternative to the 
40 CFR 721.63 respirator requirements may request to do so under 40 CFR 
721.30. EPA expects that persons whose 40 CFR 721.30 requests to use 
the NCELs approach for SNURs are approved by EPA will be required to 
comply with NCELs provisions that are comparable to those contained in 
the corresponding TSCA Order for the same chemical substance.

IV. Substances Subject to This Proposed Rule

    EPA is proposing significant new use and recordkeeping requirements 
for certain chemical substances in 40 CFR part 721, subpart E. In this 
unit, EPA provides the following information for each chemical 
substance that is identified in this unit as subject to this proposed 
rule:
     PMN number.
     Chemical name (generic name, if the specific name is 
claimed as CBI).
     Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number (if 
assigned for non-confidential chemical identities).
     Effective date of and basis for the TSCA Order.
     Potentially Useful Information.
     CFR citation assigned in the regulatory text section of 
the proposed rule.
    The chemicals subject to these proposed SNURs are as follows:

PMN Number: P-18-143

    Chemical Name: Fatty acids, tall-oil polymers with aminoalkyl, 
dialkyl alkane diamine, polyalkylene polyamine alkanepolyamine 
fraction, and tris-[(alkylamino) alkyl] phenol (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: April 27, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as an anti-corrosive primer 
for outdoor industrial applications. Based on available data on an 
analogue, EPA has identified concerns for systemic effects and 
reproduction/developmental toxicity. Based on analogue data for the low 
molecular weight fraction and information in the Safety Data Sheet, EPA 
has also identified concerns for corrosion to all tissues and skin 
sensitization. Based on comparison to analogous aliphatic amines, EPA 
predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations 
that exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb; and
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.

[[Page 37785]]

    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of aquatic 
toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not 
require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or 
other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11687.

PMN Number: P-18-154

    Chemical Name: Isocyanic acid, polyalkylenepolycycloalkylene ester, 
2-alkoxy alkanol and 1-alkoxy alkanol and alkylene diol blocked 
(generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: August 2, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use will be as a crosslinking agent for coatings. Based 
on the expected function of the PMN substance as a crosslinking agent 
that can crosslink proteins and bind to DNA, EPA has identified 
concerns for skin sensitization, respiratory sensitization, and 
genotoxicity. Based on comparison to analogous carbamate esters, EPA 
predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations 
that exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product;
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substance in 
any manner that results in inhalation exposure;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of genetic 
toxicity, skin sensitization, and aquatic toxicity testing may be 
potentially useful to characterize the health and environmental effects 
of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, 
the Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified 
or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant 
information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11688.

PMN Number: P-18-273

    Chemical Name: 1,4-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-bis(2-
ethylhexyl) ester.
    CAS Number: 84731-70-4.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: June 9, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be for polymer manufacturing. 
Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns 
for thyroid effects. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. 
To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     No use of the PMN substance other than the confidential 
use allowed in the Order;
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import 
only);
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
toxicokinetics testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
health effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not 
require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or 
other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11689.

PMN Number: P-18-290

    Chemical Name: Carbomonocylic-oxazolidine (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: August 19, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be for gas scrubbing and 
wastewater deodorizing. Based on the potential release of a hydrolysis 
product of the PMN substance, EPA has identified concerns for systemic 
effects. Based on comparison to analogous chemical substances, EPA has 
identified concerns for eye and respiratory tract irritation. Based on 
test data on the PMN substance, EPA predicts that toxicity to aquatic 
organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 285 ppb. The Order 
was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), 
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to 
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to human health or the environment. To protect against 
these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 10 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 285 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of eye 
irritation, specific target organ toxicity, and chronic aquatic 
toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health 
and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does 
not require these tests, the Order's

[[Page 37786]]

restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by 
EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11690.

PMN Number: P-19-73

    Chemical Name: Propoxylated, ethoxylated alkoxyalkyl ether 
(generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: April 22, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a polymer coatings 
additive--low foaming wetting agent. Based on the surfactant properties 
and submitted test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified 
concerns for irritation to the eyes, skin, lungs, and mucous membranes; 
skin sensitization; and lung effects. Based on comparison to 
structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has also identified 
concerns for systemic toxicity. Based on submitted test data on the PMN 
substance and comparison to analogous nonionic surfactants, EPA 
predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations 
that exceed 24 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 1,000 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     No processing of the PMN substance for use in consumer 
products unless the concentration in consumer formulations is less than 
1%;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 24 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
pulmonary effects, eye damage, and specific target organ toxicity 
testing may be potentially useful to characterize the health effects of 
the PMN substance. Although the Order does not require these tests, the 
Order's restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or 
revoked by EPA based on submission of this or other relevant 
information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11691.

PMN Number: P-19-98

    Chemical Name: Phosphoric acid, polymer with (hydroxyalkyl)-
alkanediol and alkanediol (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: May 28, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that use of the substance will 
be as a flame retardant additive for intumescent coatings. Based on 
available data on a residual substance, EPA has identified concerns for 
neurotoxicity, developmental effects, and systemic effects. Based on 
phosphate esters, EPA has also identified concerns for reproductive 
toxicity, neurotoxicity, and systemic effects. Based on phosphoric acid 
residual, EPA has also identified concerns for corrosion to the skin, 
eyes, and respiratory tract. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS;
     Use of the PMN substance only as a flame retardant 
additive for intumescent coatings;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 500 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
neurotoxicity, skin corrosion, eye corrosion, reproductive toxicity, 
and specific target organ toxicity testing may be potentially useful to 
characterize the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the 
Order does not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11692.

PMN Numbers: P-19-122 and P-20-83

    Chemical Names: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-(hydrogenated animal-based 
nitrogen-substituted)ethyl ester (generic) (P-19-122) and 2-propenoic 
acid, nitrogen-substituted alkyl, N-C16-18-acyl derivs. (generic) (P-
20-83).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: March 17, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state that the generic (non-
confidential) uses of the substances will be as reactant monomers in a 
polymer for industrial use. Based on the waterproofing properties of 
the PMN substances, EPA has identified concerns for lung effects. Based 
on comparison to structurally analogous chemical substances, EPA has 
also identified concerns for dermal irritation/sensitization, systemic 
toxicity, skin/eye corrosion, systemic effects, developmental toxicity, 
and male reproductive effects. Based on comparison to analogous 
acrylates, EPA predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at 
concentrations that exceed 1 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substances may present an unreasonable risk of injury 
to human health or the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     No domestic manufacture (i.e., import only);
     No use of the PMN substances in consumer applications;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and

[[Page 37787]]

     No release of the PMN substances resulting in surface 
water concentrations that exceed 1 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of chronic 
aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substances. Although the Order does 
not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect 
until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of 
this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citations: 40 CFR 721.11693 (P-19-122) and 40 CFR 721.11694 (P-
20-83).

PMN Number: P-20-5

    Chemical Name: Modified graphene (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: August 13, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as an additive for plastics 
and resins. Based on analogue data, EPA has identified concerns for 
lung effects, immunotoxicity, and eye irritation. EPA was unable to 
estimate the environmental hazard of this new chemical substance. The 
Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient 
information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present 
an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. To 
protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an 
APF of at least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure;
     Implementation of dust controls that demonstrate an 
exposure reduction of at least 90% where workers are reasonably 
expected to be exposed by inhalation to dust from the substance;
     No processing or use of the PMN substance other than for 
the confidential use allowed in the Order;
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import 
only);
     No use of the PMN substance in an application method that 
results in inhalation exposure to workers;
     No direct release of the PMN substance to air;

    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMNs state that the use of the substances 
will be as additives for polymers (e.g., rubber, plastics, adhesives, 
coatings and sealants). Based on the metal content of the PMN 
substances, EPA has identified concerns for lung toxicity, acute 
toxicity, lung effects, systemic effects, developmental effects, 
carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity. Based on silica and metal components 
(nickel and vanadium), acid groups, and information in the SDS, EPA has 
identified concerns for irritation and sensitization. The Order was 
issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), 
based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient information to 
permit a reasoned evaluation, the substances may present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to human health. To protect against these 
risks, the Order requires:
     Submittal to EPA of metals content analysis of the 
confidential immediate precursor used to manufacture the PMN 
substances;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified respirator with an APF of at 
least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure or 
compliance with a NCEL of 0.05 mg/m\3\ as an 8-hour time-weighted 
average to prevent inhalation exposure;
     No manufacture, processing, or use of the PMN substances 
other than at facilities equipped with pollution controls, such as a 
bag house, that remove particulates from the air at 99% or greater 
efficiency and ensure all air releases from each facility, including 
fugitive releases, are filtered through these pollution controls;
     Use of the PMN substances only for the uses described in 
the PMNs; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the 
time limits in the Order without sampling and analyzing the 
confidential immediate precursor used to manufacture the PMN substances 
via EPA Method 6010B for the following elements: arsenic, barium, 
beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, 
nickel, selenium, silver, vanadium, and zinc.

a non-enclosed process;
     Use of the PMN substance only as described in the PMN;
     No domestic manufacture of the PMN substance (i.e., import 
only);
     Import of the PMN substance only in solution, or in any 
form in sealed containers weighing 5 kilograms or less; and
     No exceedance of the confidential annual importation 
volume listed the Order.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information about the physical/chemical properties, fate, 
bioaccumulation, environmental hazard, and human health effects of the 
PMN substance may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. The submitter has agreed not to exceed the 
time limits specified in the Order without performing the required Tier 
I and Tier II testing outlined in the Testing section of the Order.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11711.

PMN Number: P-21-54

    Chemical Name: 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, aminoalkyl ester, 
polymer with hydroxyalkyl alkenoate and octadecyl alkenoate, acetate 
(salts) (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: July 23, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a carpet treatment 
additive. Based on structure alerts, EPA has identified concerns for 
lung waterproofing and irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory 
tract. Based on comparison to analogous polycationic polymers, EPA 
predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations 
that exceed 52 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment. To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in a product that is applied 
by a consumer;
     No manufacture or processing of the PMN substance in any 
manner that results in inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in an application method that 
results in inhalation exposure;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance resulting in surface water 
concentrations that exceed 52 ppb.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
specific target organ toxicity, skin irritation, eye irritation, and 
aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the 
Order does not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11712.

PMN Number: P-21-63

    Chemical Name: Heterocyclic-polycarboxylic acid, polyhaloaryl-
polyhydro-alkyl-polyalkyl ester (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: August 10, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be as a component in 
herbicides. Based on test data on the PMN substance, EPA has identified 
concerns for acute toxicity, phototoxicity (skin irritation), 
reproductive effects, and developmental effects. Based on test data on 
the PMN substance, EPA predicts that toxicity to

[[Page 37792]]

aquatic organisms may occur at concentrations that exceed 18 ppb. The 
Order was issued under TSCA sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the absence of sufficient 
information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the substance may present 
an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. To 
protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance to water.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of aquatic 
toxicity testing may be potentially useful to characterize the 
environmental effects of the PMN substance. Although the Order does not 
require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in effect until 
the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on submission of this or 
other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11713.

PMN Number: P-21-65

    Chemical Name: Alkenoic acid, reaction products with alkylamine-
alkanediyl diacrylate polymer and [oxybis(alkylene)]bis[alkyl-
alkanediol] (generic).
    CAS Number: Not available.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: June 21, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the use of the substance 
will be to improve the reactivity of ink formulation when cured under 
LED UV light. Based on structural alerts for cationic binding and for 
acrylates, EPA has identified concerns for lung effects and skin and 
eye irritation. The Order was issued under TSCA sections 
5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding that in the 
absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned evaluation, the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health. 
To protect against these risks, the Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an 
APF of at least 1,000 where there is a potential for inhalation 
exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance in a spray application;
     No use of the PMN substance in a consumer product; and
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health precautionary statements on each label and in the SDS.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of 
specific target organ toxicity, pulmonary effects, skin irritation, eye 
damage, and skin sensitization testing may be potentially useful to 
characterize the health effects of the PMN substance. Although the 
Order does not require these tests, the Order's restrictions remain in 
effect until the Order is modified or revoked by EPA based on 
submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11714.

PMN Number: P-21-125

    Chemical Name: Nonane, branched.
    CAS Number: 85408-10-2.
    Effective Date of TSCA Order: September 17, 2021.
    Basis for TSCA Order: The PMN states that the generic (non-
confidential) use of the substance will be for contained use for 
microlithography for electronic device manufacturing. Based on the 
physical/chemical properties of an analogue, isooctane, EPA has 
identified concerns for aspiration. Based on test data for an analogue 
of a potential metabolite, EPA has identified concerns for skin 
irritation, eye irritation, and systemic, reproductive, and 
developmental effects. Based on comparison to analogous neutral organic 
substances, EPA predicts that toxicity to aquatic organisms may occur 
at concentrations that exceed 5 ppb. The Order was issued under TSCA 
sections 5(a)(3)(B)(ii)(I) and 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I), based on a finding 
that in the absence of sufficient information to permit a reasoned 
evaluation, the substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health or the environment. To protect against these risks, the 
Order requires:
     Use of personal protective equipment where there is a 
potential for dermal exposure;
     Use of a NIOSH-certified particulate respirator with an 
APF of at least 50 where there is a potential for inhalation exposure 
or compliance with a NCEL of 0.72 mg/m3 as an 8-hour time-weighted 
average to prevent inhalation exposure;
     No use of the PMN substance other than for the 
confidential use allowed in the Order;
     Establishment of a hazard communication program, including 
human health and environmental precautionary statements on each label 
and in the SDS; and
     No release of the PMN substance to water.
    The proposed SNUR would designate as a ``significant new use'' the 
absence of these protective measures.
    Potentially Useful Information: EPA has determined that certain 
information may be potentially useful in support of a request by the 
PMN submitter to modify the Order, or if a manufacturer or processor is 
considering submitting a SNUN for a significant new use that will be 
designated by this SNUR. EPA has determined that the results of eye 
damage, reproductive toxicity, skin irritation, specific target organ 
toxicity, and aquatic toxicity testing may be potentially useful to 
characterize the health and environmental effects of the PMN substance. 
Although the Order does not require these tests, the Order's 
restrictions remain in effect until the Order is modified or revoked by 
EPA based on submission of this or other relevant information.
    CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721.11715.

V. Rationale and Objectives of the Proposed Rule

A. Rationale

    During review of the PMNs submitted for the chemical substances 
that are the subject to these proposed SNURs, EPA concluded that 
regulation was warranted under TSCA section 5(e), pending the 
development of information sufficient to make reasoned evaluations of 
the health or environmental effects of the chemical substances. The 
basis for such findings is outlined in Unit IV. Based on these 
findings, TSCA section 5(e) Orders requiring the use of appropriate 
exposure controls were negotiated with the PMN submitters. As a general 
matter, EPA believes it is necessary to follow the TSCA Orders with a 
SNUR that identifies the absence of those protective measures as

[[Page 37793]]

significant new uses to ensure that all manufacturers and processors--
not just the original submitter--are held to the same standard.

B. Objectives

    EPA is proposing these SNURs for specific chemical substances which 
have undergone premanufacture review because the Agency wants:
     To identify as significant new uses any manufacturing, 
processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal that does not 
conform to the restrictions imposed by the underlying TSCA Orders, 
consistent with TSCA section 5(f)(4).
     To have an opportunity to review and evaluate data 
submitted in a SNUN before the notice submitter begins manufacturing or 
processing a listed chemical substance for the described significant 
new use.
     To be able to either determine that the prospective 
manufacture or processing is not likely to present an unreasonable 
risk, or to take necessary regulatory action associated with any other 
determination, before the described significant new use of the chemical 
substance occurs.

VI. Applicability of the Proposed Significant New Use Designation

    To establish a significant new use, EPA must determine that the use 
is not ongoing. The chemical substances subject to this proposed rule 
have undergone premanufacture review. In cases where EPA has not 
received a notice of commencement (NOC) and the chemical substance has 
not been added to the TSCA Inventory, no person may commence such 
activities without first submitting a PMN. Therefore, for chemical 
substances for which an NOC has not been submitted EPA concludes that 
the designated significant new uses are not ongoing.
    When chemical substances identified in this proposed rule are added 
to the TSCA Inventory, EPA recognizes that, before the rule is 
effective, other persons might engage in a use that has been identified 
as a significant new use. However, TSCA Orders have been issued for 
these chemical substances, and the PMN submitters are prohibited by the 
TSCA Orders from undertaking activities which would be designated as 
significant new uses. The identities of many of the chemical substances 
subject to this proposed rule have been claimed as confidential per 40 
CFR 720.85. Based on this, the Agency believes that it is highly 
unlikely that any of the significant new uses described in the 
regulatory text of this proposed rule are ongoing.
    Therefore, EPA designates June 24, 2022 as the cutoff date for 
determining whether the new use is ongoing. The objective of EPA's 
approach is to ensure that a person cannot defeat a SNUR by initiating 
a significant new use before the effective date of the final rule.
    In the unlikely event that a person began commercial manufacture or 
processing of the chemical substances for a significant new use 
identified as of that cutoff date, they would have to cease any such 
activity upon the effective date of the final rule. To resume their 
activities, these persons would have to first comply with all 
applicable SNUR notification requirements and wait until EPA has 
conducted a review of the notice, made an appropriate determination on 
the notice, and has taken such actions as are required with that 
determination.
    Issuance of a SNUR for a chemical substance does not signify that 
the chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance 
Inventory (TSCA Inventory). Guidance on how to determine if a chemical 
substance is on the TSCA Inventory is available on the internet at 
https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.

VII. Development and Submission of Information

    EPA recognizes that TSCA section 5 does not require developing any 
particular new information (e.g., generating test data) before 
submission of a SNUN. There is an exception: If a person is required to 
submit information for a chemical substance pursuant to a rule, TSCA 
Order or consent agreement under TSCA section 4, then TSCA section 
5(b)(1)(A) requires such information to be submitted to EPA at the time 
of submission of the SNUN.
    In the absence of a rule, TSCA Order, or consent agreement under 
TSCA section 4 covering the chemical substance, persons are required 
only to submit information in their possession or control and to 
describe any other information known or reasonably ascertainable (see 
40 CFR 720.50). However, upon review of PMNs and SNUNs, the Agency has 
the authority to require appropriate testing. Unit IV. lists 
potentially useful information for the SNURs listed in this document. 
Descriptions of this information is provided for informational 
purposes. The potentially useful information identified in Unit IV. 
will be useful to EPA's evaluation in the event that someone submits a 
SNUN for the significant new use.
    EPA strongly encourages persons, before performing any testing, to 
consult with the Agency. Furthermore, pursuant to TSCA section 4(h), 
which pertains to reduction of testing in vertebrate animals, EPA 
encourages dialog with the Agency on the use of alternative test 
methods and strategies (also called New Approach Methodologies, or 
NAMs), if available, to generate the recommended test data. EPA 
encourages dialog with Agency representatives to help determine how 
best the submitter can meet both the data needs and the objective of 
TSCA section 4(h). For more information on alternative test methods and 
strategies to reduce vertebrate animal testing, visit https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/alternative-test-methods-and-strategies-reduce.
    In some of the TSCA Orders for the chemical substances identified 
in this proposed rule, EPA has established time limits 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 
chemical substances. These limits cannot be exceeded unless the PMN 
submitter first submits the results of specified tests that would 
permit a reasoned evaluation of the potential risks posed by these 
chemical substances. The SNURs contain the same time limits as the TSCA 
Orders. Exceeding these production limits is defined as a significant 
new use. Persons who intend to exceed the time limit must notify the 
Agency by submitting a SNUN at least 90 days in advance of commencement 
of non-exempt commercial manufacture or processing.
    Any request by EPA for the triggered and pended testing described 
in the TSCA Orders was made based on EPA's consideration of available 
screening-level data, if any, as well as other available information on 
appropriate testing for the PMN substances. Further, any such testing 
request on the part of EPA that includes testing on vertebrates was 
made after consideration of available toxicity information, 
computational toxicology and bioinformatics, and high-throughput 
screening methods and their prediction models.
    The potentially useful information listed in Unit IV. may not be 
the only means of addressing the potential risks of the chemical 
substance. However, submitting a SNUN without any test data or other 
information may increase the likelihood that EPA will take action under 
TSCA section 5(e) or 5(f). EPA recommends that potential SNUN 
submitters contact EPA early enough so that they will be able to 
conduct the appropriate tests.

[[Page 37794]]

    SNUN submitters should be aware that EPA will be better able to 
evaluate SNUNs which provide detailed information on the following:
     Human exposure and environmental release that may result 
from the significant new use of the chemical substances.
     Information on risks posed by the chemical substances 
compared to risks posed by potential substitutes.

VIII. SNUN Submissions

    According to 40 CFR 721.1(c), persons submitting a SNUN must comply 
with the same notification requirements and EPA regulatory procedures 
as persons submitting a PMN, including submission of test data on 
health and environmental effects as described in 40 CFR 720.50. SNUNs 
must be submitted on EPA Form No. 7710-25, generated using e-PMN 
software, and submitted to the Agency in accordance with the procedures 
set forth in 40 CFR 720.40. E-PMN software is available electronically 
at https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca.

IX. Economic Analysis

    EPA has evaluated the potential costs of establishing SNUN 
requirements for potential manufacturers and processors of the chemical 
substances subject to this proposed rule. EPA's complete economic 
analysis is available in the docket for this rulemaking.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders 
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review

    This action proposes to establish SNURs for several new chemical 
substances that were the subject of PMNs. The Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under 
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 
3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    According to the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not 
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information that requires OMB approval under PRA, unless 
it has been approved by OMB and displays a currently valid OMB control 
number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of 
the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if 
applicable.
    The information collection activities associated with SNURs have 
already been approved by OMB under the PRA and assigned OMB control 
number 2070-0012 (EPA ICR No. 574). This proposed rule does not contain 
any burden requiring additional OMB approval. If an entity were to 
submit a SNUN to the Agency, the annual burden is estimated to average 
between 30 and 170 hours per response. This burden estimate includes 
the time needed to review instructions, search existing data sources, 
gather and maintain the data needed, and complete, review, and submit 
the required SNUN.
    Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and 
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including using 
automated collection techniques, to the Director, Regulatory Support 
Division, Office of Mission Support (2822T), Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. Please 
remember to include the OMB control number in any correspondence, but 
do not submit any completed forms to this address.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    Pursuant to the RFA section 605(b) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the 
Agency hereby certifies that promulgation of these SNURs would not have 
a significant adverse economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. The requirement to submit a SNUN applies to any person 
(including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any 
activity described in the final rule as a ``significant new use.'' 
Because these uses are ``new,'' based on all information currently 
available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities presently 
engage in such activities. A SNUR requires that any person who intends 
to engage in such activity in the future must first notify EPA by 
submitting a SNUN. EPA's experience to date is that, in response to the 
promulgation of SNURs covering over 1,000 chemicals, the Agency 
receives only a small number of notices per year. For example, the 
number of SNUNs received was seven in Federal fiscal year (FY) 2013, 13 
in FY2014, six in FY2015, 10 in FY2016, 14 in FY2017, and 18 in FY2018 
and only a fraction of these were from small businesses. In addition, 
the Agency currently offers relief to qualifying small businesses by 
reducing the SNUN submission fee from $16,000 to $2,800. This lower fee 
reduces the total reporting and recordkeeping of cost of submitting a 
SNUN to about $10,116 for qualifying small firms. Therefore, the 
potential economic impacts of complying with this proposed SNUR are not 
expected to be significant or adversely impact a substantial number of 
small entities. In a SNUR that published in the Federal Register of 
June 2, 1997 (62 FR 29684) (FRL-5597-1), the Agency presented its 
general determination that final SNURs are not expected to have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, 
which was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 
Business Administration.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    Based on EPA's experience with proposing and finalizing SNURs, 
State, local, and Tribal governments have not been impacted by these 
rulemakings, and EPA does not have any reasons to believe that any 
State, local, or Tribal government will be impacted by this action. As 
such, EPA has determined that this proposed rule would not impose any 
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any 
effect on small governments subject to the requirements of UMRA 
sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action would not have a substantial direct effect 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 (64 FR 
43255, August 10, 1999).

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

    This action would not have Tribal implications because it is not 
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This 
action would not significantly nor uniquely affect the communities of 
Indian Tribal governments, nor would it involve or impose any 
requirements that affect Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements 
of Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply 
to this action.

[[Page 37795]]

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

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically significant 
regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, and this action 
does not address environmental health or safety risks 
disproportionately affecting children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, 
May 22, 2001), because this proposed rule is not expected to affect 
energy supply, distribution, or use.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This action does not involve any technical standards subject to 
NTTAA section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

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

    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental 
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 
7629, February 16, 1994).
