Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates. Dec 9, 2002. Significant New Use Final Rule. Federal Register.

FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK PESTICIDE PROJECT

Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates (PFOSH, POSF, PFOSS - collectively known as PFAS). December 9, 2002. Significant New Use Rule. Final Rule. Federal Register:

Note from FAN: In this Final Rule, EPA states:

All pesticide products containing sulfluramid are under a specific timeline to be phased out by 2016. The pesticide products that are registered are for use in a variety of enclosed termite, ant, and roach bait stations. These products are pre-filled and sold only in child-resistant packaging. Products containing sulfluramid have not been registered for food or crop uses.

On August 22, 2001, less than 4 months before EPA's statement that sulfluramid was

"sold only in child-resistant packaging"

the largest pesticide penalty in New York State history - $950,000 - was given to S.C. Johnson for illegally distributing unsafe sulfluramid roach baits.

According to New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer:

"This product was marketed for home use and was labeled as child resistant when it was not."

"... According to an EPA assessment, if a child ingested the bait, he or she could suffer irreversible reproductive damage, and boys could be rendered infertile."

[OPPT-2002-0043; FRL-7279-1]
RIN 2070-AD43

Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates; Significant New Use Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under section
5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 75 substances
including perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOSH) and certain of its salts
(PFOSS), perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF), certain higher and
lower homologues of PFOSH and POSF, and certain other chemical
substances, including polymers, that are derived from PFOSH and its
homologues. These chemicals are collectively referred to as
perfluoroalkyl sulfonates, or PFAS. This rule requires manufacturers
and importers to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the
manufacture or import of these chemical substances for the significant
new uses described in this document. EPA believes that this action is
necessary because the PFOSH component of these chemical substances may
be hazardous to human health and the environment. The required notice
will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate an intended new use
and associated activities and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that
activity before it occurs.
DATES: This final rule is effective on January 8, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture
(defined by statute to include import) any of the chemical substances
that are listed in Table 1 of this unit. Persons who intend to import
any chemical substance governed by a final SNUR are subject to TSCA
section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612) import certification requirements, and to
the regulations codified at 19 CFR 12.118 through 12.127 and 12.728.
Those persons must certify that they are in compliance with the SNUR
requirements. The EPA policy in support of import certification appears
at 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. In addition, any persons who export or
intend to export any of the chemical substances listed in Table 1 are
subject to the export notification provisions of TSCA section 12(b) (15
U.S.C. 2611(b)), and must comply with the export notification
requirements in 40 CFR 721.20 and 40 CFR part 707, subpart
D.Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
• Chemical manufacturers or importers (NAICS 325), e.g.,
persons who manufacture (defined by statute to include import) one or
more of the subject chemical substances.
• Chemical exporters (NAICS 325), e.g., persons who export,
or intend to export, one or more of the subject chemical substances.
This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. To determine
whether you or your business may be affected by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability provisions in 40 CFR 721.5 for
SNUR-related obligations. Also, consult Unit II. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This action promulgates the supplemental proposed SNUR published in
the Federal Register of March 11, 2002 (67 FR 11014) (FRL-6823-7),
which modified the original proposed SNUR published in the Federal
Register of October 18, 2000 (65 FR 62319) (FRL-6745-5).
This rule requires persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before
commencing the manufacture or import of the chemical substances
identified in Table 1, Unit I.A., for the significant new uses
described in this document. The chemical substances identified in Table
1, Unit I.A., are 75 chemical substances, including PFOSH, PFOSS, POSF,
certain higher and lower homologues of PFOSH and POSF, and certain
other chemical substances, including polymers, that are derived from
PFOSH and its homologues. These chemicals are collectively referred to
throughout this rule as PFAS. In the original proposed SNUR, these
chemicals were referred to collectively as perfluorooctyl sulfonates,
or PFOS, but commenters noted that this generic usage of the term PFOS
was inconsistent with the use by the manufacturer of PFOS, 3M, to refer
only to chemicals with an eight-carbon, or C8, chain length. Many of
the chemicals in this SNUR include a range of carbon chain lengths,
although most include C8 within the range. Accordingly, EPA uses the
generic term PFAS to refer to any carbon chain length, including mixed
ranges and higher and lower homologues as well as C8, and the term PFOS
to represent only those chemical substances which are predominantly C8.
The significant new uses described in this document are:
1. Any manufacture or import for any use of any chemical listed in
Table 1, Unit I.A., on or after January 1, 2003, except as noted in
Unit II.A.2.
2. Manufacture or import of any chemical listed in Table 1, Unit
I.A., solely for one or more of the following specific uses shall not
be considered as a significant new use subject to reporting under this
section:
i. Use as an anti-erosion additive in fire-resistant phosphate
ester aviation hydraulic fluids.
ii. Use as a component of a photoresist substance, including a
photo acid generator or surfactant, or as a component of an anti-
reflective coating, used in a photomicrolithography process to produce
semiconductors or similar components of electronic or other
miniaturized devices.
iii. Use in coatings for surface tension, static discharge, and
adhesion control for analog and digital imaging films, papers, and
printing plates, or as a surfactant in mixtures used to process imaging
films.
iv. Use as an intermediate only to produce other chemical
substances to be used solely for the uses listed in Unit II.A.2.i.,
ii., or iii.
The chemical substances subject to this SNUR are listed in Table 1,
Unit I.A. Most of these PFAS chemical substances include the C8 chain
length characteristic of PFOS and thus have the potential to degrade to
PFOSH in the environment or to be converted to PFOSH via incomplete
oxidation during the incineration of PFOS-containing materials. Once
PFOSH has been released to the environment, it does not undergo further
chemical (hydrolysis), microbial, or photolytic degradation. PFOS is
highly persistent in the environment and has a strong tendency to
bioaccumulate. Studies have found PFOS in very small quantities in the
blood of the general human population as well as in wildlife,
indicating that exposure to the chemicals is widespread, and recent
tests have raised concerns about their potential
[[Page 72859]]
developmental, reproductive, and systemic toxicity (Refs. 1, 2, and 3).
These facts, taken together, raise concerns for long term potential
adverse effects in people and wildlife over time if PFOS should
continue to be produced, released, and built up in the environment.
3M, the principal manufacturer of PFAS worldwide, voluntarily
committed to discontinue the production of the specific PFOS-based PFAS
chemicals covered by this rule by December 31, 2002 (Ref. 4). Based on
the information EPA possessed when the original proposed SNUR was
published, EPA concluded that this action by 3M would reduce
manufacture and importation of these chemicals to zero, with a
corresponding reduction in the type, form, and duration of exposure to
these chemicals. EPA therefore concluded that any subsequent new
manufacture or importation of these chemicals would constitute a
significant new use.
Commenters on the original SNUR proposal provided information
confirming that, contrary to the information available to the EPA when
the original proposed SNUR was published, 3M was not the sole
manufacturer of certain of the chemical substances on Table 1, Unit
I.A.These commenters were importing a few of these substances in small
quantities below mandatory reporting thresholds for their specific uses
from non-3M sources outside the United States prior to the publication
of the proposed SNUR. The identities, amounts, and suppliers of those
specific chemicals were claimed as CBI, and thus cannot be specifically
identified in this rule. To the extent that specific PFAS chemical
substances on the proposed SNUR lists were being obtained from sources
other than 3M for specific uses prior to the publication of the
proposed SNUR, and thus would not be affected by 3M's unilateral
decision to discontinue production, the manufacture of those specific
chemicals for particular uses is considered to be ongoing and would not
be subject to a significant new use determination. These specific uses
are as a component of a photoresist substance, including a photo acid
generator or surfactant, or as a component of an anti-reflective
coating, used in a photomicrolithography process to produce
semiconductors or similar components of electronic or other
miniaturized devices. Accordingly, this SNUR identifies the manufacture
or importation of chemicals listed in Table 1, Unit I.A., for these
specific uses as not being a significant new use.
Commenters on the original SNUR proposal who had obtained listed
chemicals only from 3M sources prior to the publication of the proposed
SNUR also identified non-3M sources for specific PFAS chemicals that
were essential to their specific uses in the semiconductor, aviation
hydraulics, and imaging industries. Based on the information presented
by these commenters about the limited volume of their uses, the extent
of controls on exposure and releases, and the absence of viable
alternatives for these specific chemicals, some of which are claimed as
CBI and thus cannot be specifically identified in this rule, this SNUR
identifies the manufacture of chemicals in Table 1, Unit I.A., for
these specific uses as not being significant new uses. Manufacture or
importation of these chemicals for these uses is thus not subject to
this SNUR. Because certain of the SNUR chemicals are intermediates
required in the manufacture of the specific listed chemicals associated
with these excluded uses, the use of PFAS chemicals listed in Table 1,
Unit I.A., as intermediates solely to produce other chemicals for one
or more of the specific excluded uses is also excluded from the
definition of a significant new use.
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to
determine that a use of a chemical substance is a ``significant new
use.'' The Agency makes this determination by rule after considering
all relevant factors, including those listed in TSCA section 5(a)(2).
These factors include the volume of a chemical substance's production
or importation; the extent to which a use changes the type, form,
magnitude, or duration of exposure to the substance; and the reasonably
anticipated manner of producing or otherwise managing the substance.
Once EPA makes this determination and promulgates a SNUR, TSCA section
5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit a significant new use notice
(SNUN) to EPA at least 90 days before they manufacture, import, or
process the chemical substance for that significant new use (15 U.S.C.
2604 (a)(1)(B)).
As noted in the proposed SNUR, EPA believes that the intent of TSCA
section 5(a)(1)(B) is best served by designating a use as a significant
new use as of the proposal date of the SNUR, rather than as of the
effective date of the final rule. If uses begun after publication of
the proposed SNUR were considered to be ongoing, rather than new, it
would be difficult for EPA to establish SNUR notice requirements,
because any person could defeat the SNUR by initiating the proposed
significant new use before the rule became final, and then argue that
the use was ongoing.
Accordingly, persons who may have begun commercial manufacture or
import of the PFAS chemicals listed in Table 1, Unit I.A., for the
significant new uses listed in this final SNUR after the initial
proposal was published on October 18, 2000, must stop that activity
before the effective date of this final rule. Persons who cease those
activities will have to meet all SNUR notice requirements and wait
until the end of the notice review period, including all extensions,
before engaging in any activities designated as significant new uses.
If, however, persons who may have begun commercial manufacture or
import of these chemical substances between the proposal and the
effective date of the SNUR meet the conditions of advance compliance as
codified at 40 CFR 721.45(h), those persons will be considered to have
met the final SNUR requirements for those activities.
C. Summary of and Response to Comments
Eight parties submitted timely comments on the supplemental
proposed SNUR. All of the comments generally supported the SNUR,
although several of them requested clarification of specific points.
Two parties submitted late comments addressing broader issues of EPA's
SNUR authority.
Three of the comments, from Solutia, Inc., ExxonMobil Biomedical
Sciences, Inc., and Boeing Company, supported the approach and language
of the proposed SNUR with respect to the aviation hydraulics use.
The Semiconductor Industry Association and Semiconductor Equipment
and Materials, Inc. (SIA/SEMI), submitted joint comments generally
approving the proposed SNUR, but requested clarification on two issues,
including the scope of the proposed exclusion of the semiconductor
photomicrolithography use from the rule and the application of the
section 12(b) export notification requirements of TSCA to the export of
chemicals and products intended for the excluded use. SIA/SEMI noted
that the photomicrolithography processes used in the semiconductor
industry are used to produce not only semiconductors, but also
electronic components of disk drives, electronics packaging,
micromachines, and optoelectronic devices and circuits. SIA/SEMI
indicated that they read the proposed exclusion to apply to such
production activities, which were included in the industry mass balance
materials they
[[Page 72860]]
supplied to the Agency, and asked EPA to confirm that understanding.
EPA acknowledges that the language of the exclusion, which describes
``... a photomicrolithography process to produce semiconductors or
similar components of electronic or other miniaturized devices,'' is
intended to apply to all of these activities for which the
semiconductor industry, in its data submissions to the Agency, detailed
the current need to use PFAS to achieve the technical requirement of
fineness of lines requiring sharp definition in the submicron area. EPA
agrees that the specific items listed by SIA/SEMI are ``components of
electronic or other miniaturized devices.'' Broader photolithography
uses are not intended to be covered by this exclusion, and manufacture
or importation of listed PFAS chemicals for such uses is considered to
be a significant new use subject to this rule.
With respect to TSCA section 12(b), SIA/SEMI stated that it assumes
that a person who exports one of the chemicals covered by the SNUR for
a use that is excluded from the SNUR would not need to meet export
notification requirements for such exports. EPA does not concur with
this interpretation. Section 12(b)(2) of TSCA provides that, ``If any
person exports or intends to export to a foreign country a chemical
substance or mixture for which ... a rule has been proposed or
promulgated under section 5 ..., such person shall notify the
Administrator of such exportation or intent to export and the
Administrator shall furnish to the government of such country notice of
such rule ...'' Regulations implementing TSCA section 12(b) are at 40
CFR part 707, subpart D.
The TSCA section 12(b) export notification requirement for a
chemical is not contingent on whether the intended use of the chemical
has been regulated under the SNUR, and EPA does not interpret TSCA
section 12(b) to include an exemption for uses that are not regulated.
In promulgating the original TSCA section 12(b) regulations, EPA
explained its position, ``that the export notification requirement for
a chemical is not contingent on whether the intended use of the
chemical has been regulated . . . Notice must be given to EPA even
though the chemical is being exported for a use, or in a manner, that
is not regulated domestically under the relevant TSCA section 5, 6, or
7 action, rule or order.'' (45 FR 82844, 82846, December 16, 1980.)
Under TSCA section 12(b), the Agency is responsible for informing the
importing country about actions taken with respect to a chemical that
is the subject of a proposed or final SNUR. This notice includes
information about any exempt uses within the United States. It is up to
the foreign government to determine what action, if any, should be
taken with respect to the substance in that country. The Agency also
notes that, in many cases, the exporter will not know the use of the
substance or mixture being exported. Requiring the exporter to make a
use determination would be unnecessarily burdensome, and could be
impossible in some cases. Accordingly, EPA believes its current
interpretation of TSCA section 12(b) best furthers the intent of the
statute.
Air Products Electronic Chemicals (APEC) requested that the Agency
clarify specifically whether the semiconductor photomicrolithography
exclusion would apply to developer products with a PFAS component. This
exclusion applies only to ``components of photoresist substances'' and
``components of anti-reflective coatings.'' Developers are not
components of either ``photoresist substances'' or ``anti-reflective
coatings,'' and thus are not included within the scope of the
exclusion. The manufacture or importation of PFAS for use in developers
and polyimides is considered a significant new use under this rule.
The Eastman Kodak Company filed comments and supporting materials
on behalf of the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A),
requesting minor changes to the language of the proposed exclusion for
certain imaging uses and providing substantial information on the
industry's reductions in PFAS use and on the details of PFAS use,
exposures, and releases by the industry. I3A also met twice with the
Agency to present information and answer questions, and materials and
correspondence from those meetings were included in the rulemaking
record. The language changes requested by I3A help to clarify the
intended application of the exclusion, and have been incorporated into
the regulatory text of the rule.
The specific imaging uses excluded from the significant new use
definition are uses in coatings for surface tension, static discharge,
and adhesion control for analog and digital imaging films, papers, and
printing plates, or as a surfactant in mixtures used to process imaging
films. Coatings for surface tension control allow the rapid spreading
of multiple thin layers of light-sensitive materials at high speed to
prevent drying of materials as they are laid down. This prevents
irregularities in the coating which would make the films, papers, or
printing plates unuseable. Coatings to control static discharge help to
repel dirt, reduce friction, and thus prevent the discharge of static
electricity otherwise built up during the transport of imaging
materials through manufacturing and image processing equipment. This
prevents light-sensitive imaging materials from being fogged and
rendered useless by light from a static discharge. Because tape is the
primary way in which imaging materials are attached to spools and to
each other during processing, adhesion control coatings help to ensure
that the bond between the tape and the coating will be strong enough to
withstand transport during use and processing, but will separate before
it would damage either the imaging material or the equipment.
The exclusion for use of PFAS as a surfactant in mixtures used to
process imaging films involves incorporation of a PFAS material into a
mixture that is used as a photoprocessing solution where its surfactant
properties function to prevent discoloration of films while the films
are being processed through the solution. This exclusion applies only
to processing films. Use as a surfactant in mixtures to process papers
and printing plates would be a significant new use under the rule.
The I3A comments and supporting documents characterized the
specific uses, exposures, and releases of PFAS materials in the imaging
industry in such a way as to greatly improve the Agency's
understanding. The submission also reflected a significant reduction in
the use of the chemicals subject to the SNUR. Comments on the original
SNUR proposal indicated that the annual worldwide usage volume of these
chemicals was approximately 36,000 kilograms (kg) (79,200 pounds), of
which the U.S. consumption was approximately 18,000 kg/year (yr). The
recent I3A comments reported that the United States demand for these
chemicals is expected to be down to 3,000 kg/yr by the end of 2002. Of
this amount, I3A estimates that less than 50 kg/yr are used for paper
products and less than 300 kg/yr are used for printing plates, with the
remainder being used for various film products in the United States. Of
the remaining 2,650 kg/yr that are used for film, I3A estimates that 30
kg/yr are used as a surfactant in processing solutions and 2,620 kg/yr
are used in film coatings. I3A reported that the industry has pursued
alternative chemicals aggressively, indicating that the PFAS usage
volumes are expected to continue to decline over time. EPA commends the
members of I3A for the significant steps made in reducing the use of
the PFAS chemicals listed in the
[[Page 72861]]
SNUR, and for the effort expended in supplying the Agency with a
substantial base of information on which to make its decision.
3M requested clarification of the SNUR scope and nomenclature to
emphasize that the hazard assessment supporting the proposed rule
addressed only PFOS, the C8 chain length, not the entire range of PFAS
chemicals covering all carbon chain lengths. 3M also stated that all of
the chemicals voluntarily discontinued by 3M and subject to the SNUR
would be properly characterized as being predominantly C8, or PFOS, and
expressed concern that using the PFAS term in connection with the
regulation of these specific chemicals could be confusing because many
PFAS chemicals exist that are not subject to this rule. In this final
rule, EPA has continued to use the PFAS name for the entire category,
but has attempted to make clear that most of the chemicals subject to
this rule do include the C8 chain length specifically of concern,
although individual chemicals on the list include a range of higher and
lower homologues in addition to C8. EPA acknowledges that the hazard
assessment supporting the original proposed rule addressed only C8, or
PFOS, chemicals, and not the full range of homologues.
3M requested that EPA clarify its future regulatory intentions with
respect to these related chemicals. As indicated in the supplemental
proposed SNUR, EPA is evaluating and assessing other PFAS and PFAS-
related chemicals not listed in this rule. It is true that other PFAS
chemicals, including lower homologues, have distinct hazard profiles
and may not present the same concerns expressed by EPA with respect to
PFOS. However, EPA is reviewing data on those other homologues, and, if
warranted, will take action as appropriate on other PFAS chemicals.
Because of the unique properties of perfluorinated compounds, EPA is
currently assessing a variety of these compounds to determine their
hazard profiles, including not only PFAS chemicals but also
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts, as well as fluorinated
telomers. That these chemicals are currently under assessment does not
necessarily indicate that regulation will follow; it indicates only
that EPA is seeking answers to questions that have been raised about
these chemicals and their behavior.
3M also requested that EPA acknowledge the substantial amount of
data on PFOS submitted by 3M since the drafting of the original hazard
assessment, and acknowledge the effort underway by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to prepare an international
hazard assessment on PFOS. EPA has been an active contributor to the
OECD assessment effort, and toward that end, has been reviewing all of
the data submitted by 3M and others with respect to PFOS. EPA commends
3M for the extensive research it has conducted and continues to pursue
to improve the understanding of these unique chemicals. When the OECD
assessment document is released, it will be included in both the docket
for this rule, and in Administrative Record (AR) file AR-226. AR-226 is
the non-regulatory public access file for information on all the
related fluorinated chemicals being assessed by the EPA, including
PFOS, PFAS, PFOA and its salts, and fluorinated telomer chemicals.
Copies of the index to and all documents contained within AR-226 can be
obtained through the docket facility identified in Unit I.B.1.
Waste Not questioned whether PFAS chemicals previously on the list
of pesticide inerts would continue to be listed, whether one named
chemical on the inerts list was included in the SNUR, and whether its
understanding of the status of sulfluramid products was correct. Waste
Not also asked whether EPA would identify crops on which these products
were used. EPA confirms that none of the PFAS chemicals on the inerts
list identified by Waste Not, including the named chemical without a
CAS number provided, are currently formulated into pesticide products,
and they will all be removed from the EPA List 3 Inerts list the next
time that list is updated. EPA notes that, although these PFAS
chemicals will remain on the List 3 Inerts list until that list is
updated, the manufacture or import of chemicals listed in this rule for
use as inert ingredients in pesticide products would be a significant
new use subject to this rule. Although TSCA does not regulate chemicals
manufactured for use solely as pesticide active ingredients, chemical
intermediates and pesticide inert ingredients are subject to regulation
under TSCA.
With respect to Waste Not's comment concerning the current status
of registered insecticide products containing sulfluramid, EPA concurs
with the list of active and cancelled products provided by Waste Not.
There are currently 16 products listed as active and 3 products
cancelled. Three of the four products listed as transferred, EPA
Registration Nos. 11540-21, 1812-330, and 1812-329, are the same as the
three products listed as cancelled. The fourth product listed as
transferred, EPA Registration No. 11540-20, is the same as the active
product under EPA Registration No. 499-45. All pesticide products
containing sulfluramid are under a specific timeline to be phased out
by 2016. The pesticide products that are registered are for use in a
variety of enclosed termite, ant, and roach bait stations. These
products are pre-filled and sold only in child-resistant packaging.
Products containing sulfluramid have not been registered for food or
crop uses.
The American Chemistry Council (ACC) filed late comments supporting
the effort by EPA and industry to address concerns pertaining to PFAS
compounds on a cooperative basis, but also expressed the opinion that
an increase in manufacture or importation for an existing use should
not be considered a ``new use'' within the meaning of TSCA section
5(a)(2). ATOFINA Chemicals, Inc. filed late comments supporting the
comments of ACC. As no volume cap or trigger on manufacturing or
importation for an existing use has been incorporated into this rule,
EPA will not address this issue in the context of this rule. In
addition, EPA believes ACC's and ATOFINA's comments present a broader
legal issue regarding EPA's authority under TSCA section 5, rather than
specific issues related to PFAS. EPA does not believe it is necessary
or appropriate to engage in a broader legal discussion in the context
of this specific SNUR.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has determined that SNURs are not a ``significant
regulatory action'' subject to review by OMB, because SNURs do not meet
the criteria in section 3(f) of the Executive order.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 USC 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 the PRA, unless it has been approved by OMB and displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations, after initial display in the Federal Register and in
addition to its display on any related collection instrument, are
listed in 40 CFR part 9.
The information collection requirements related to this action have
already been approved by OMB pursuant to the PRA under OMB control
number 2070-0038 (EPA ICR No. 1188.06). This action does not impose 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
98.96 and 118.92 hours per response at an estimated reporting cost of
between $5,957 and $7,192 per SNUN. 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, and maintain the required records. This burden
estimate does not include 1 hour of technical time at $64.30 per hour
estimated to be required for customer notification of SNUR
requirements, or the $2,500 user fee for submission of a SNUN ($100 for
businesses with less than $40 million in annual sales).
Send any comments about the accuracy of the burden estimate, and
any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including
through the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director,
Collection Strategies Division, Office of Environmental Information,
Environmental Protection Agency (2822), 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.
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby certifies that promulgation
of this SNUR will not have a significant adverse economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. A SNUR applies to any person
(including small or large entities) who intends to engage in any
activity described in the rule as a ``significant new use.'' By
definition of the word ``new,'' and based on all information currently
available to EPA, it appears that no small or large entities currently
engage in such activity. Since a SNUR requires merely that any person
who intends to engage in such activity in the future must first notify
EPA (by submitting a SNUN), no economic impact will even occur until
someone decides to engage in those activities. As a voluntary action,
it is reasonable to presume that this decision would be based on a
determination by the person submitting the SNUN that the potential
benefits would outweigh the costs. Although some small entities may
decide to conduct such activities in the future, EPA cannot presently
determine how many, if any, there may be. EPA's experience to date is
that, in response to the promulgation of over 530 SNURs, the Agency has
received fewer than 15 SNUNs. Of those SNUNs submitted, none appear to
be from small entities. In fact, EPA expects to receive few, if any,
SNUNs from either large or small entities in response to any SNUR.
Therefore, EPA believes that the economic impact of complying with a
SNUR is not expected to be significant or adversely impact a
substantial number of small entities. This rationale has been provided
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.
Based on EPA's experience with past 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 rulemaking. As such, EPA has
determined that this regulatory action does not impose any enforceable
duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise have any effect on
small governments subject to the requirements of sections 202, 203,
204, or 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public
Law 104-4).
This action will 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, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
This rule does not have tribal implications because it is not
expected to have substantial direct effects on Indian Tribes. This does
not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal
governments, nor does it involve or impose any requirements that affect
Indian Tribes. Accordingly, the requirements of section 3(b) of
Executive Order 13084, entitled Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (63 FR 276755, May 19, 1998), do not apply to
this rule. Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6,
2000), which took effect on January 6, 2001, revokes Executive Order
13084 as of that date. EPA developed this rulemaking, however, during
the period when Executive Order 13084 was in effect; thus, EPA
addressed tribal considerations under Executive Order 13084. For the
same reasons stated for Executive Order 13084, the requirements of
Executive Order 10175 do not apply to this rule either.
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(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.
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations 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.
In addition, since 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.
This action does not involve special considerations of
environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order
12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994).
EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630, entitled Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988), by
[[Page 72863]]
examining the takings implications of this rule in accordance with the
``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk
and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the Executive
order.
In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to
eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,
and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by
section 3 of Executive Order 12988, entitled Civil Justice Reform (61
FR 4729, February 7, 1996).
V. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and 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).
