D. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency?
Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail. You
may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part
or all of that information as CBI (if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM,
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 CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes
any 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 and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. Background
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601et seq.)
authorizes the Administrator of the EPA to promulgate regulations under
TSCA section 4(a) requiring testing of chemicals and chemical groups in
order to develop data relevant to determining the risks that such
chemicals and chemical groups may present to health or the environment.
Section 4(e) of TSCA established the ITC to recommend chemicals and
chemical groups to the Administrator of EPA for priority testing
consideration. Section 4(e) of TSCA directs the ITC to revise the TSCA
section 4(e)Priority Testing List at least every 6 months.
A. The ITC's 54\th\ Report
The 54\th\ ITC Report was transmitted to the EPA's Administrator on
April 23, 2004, and is included in this notice. In the 54\th\ ITC
Report, the ITC is revising the Priority Testing List by removing 25
vanadium compounds. In addition, the ITC is soliciting public comments
on the idea of posting on the ITC's web site, broad non-CBI categories
of worker numbers and worker hours created from TSCA section 8(a) PAIR
rule submissions.
B. Status of the Priority Testing List
The current TSCA 4(e) Priority Testing List as of April 2004 can be
found in Table 1 of the 54\th\ ITC Report, which is included in this

I. Background
The ITC was established by section 4(e) of TSCA ``to make
recommendations to the Administrator respecting the chemical substances
and mixtures to which the Administrator should give priority
consideration for the promulgation of rules for testing under section
4(a).... At least every six months
...
to the Priority Testing List as it determines
to be necessary and transmit them to the Administrator together with
the Committee's reasons for the revisions'' (Public Law 94-469, 90
Stat. 2003 et seq., 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). ITC reports are available
from the ITC's web site (http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc/) within a few
days of submission to the Administrator and from the EPA's web site
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/ after publication in the Federal Register.
The ITC produces its revisions to the Priority Testing List with
administrative and technical support from the ITC Staff, ITC Members
and their U.S. Government organizations, and contract support provided
by EPA. ITC Members and Staff are listed at the end of this report.
II. TSCA Section 8 Reporting
A. TSCA Section 8 Reporting Rules
Following receipt of the ITC's Report (and the revised Priority
Testing List) by the EPA Administrator, the U.S. EPA's Office of
Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) adds the chemicals from the
revised Priority Testing List to the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR and TSCA
section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting (HaSDR) rules. The PAIR
rule requires producers and importers of Chemical Abstract Service
(CAS)-numbered chemicals added to the Priority Testing List to submit
production and exposure reports (http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemtest/pairform.pdf/
). The HaSDR rule requires producers, importers, and
processors of all chemicals added to the Priority Testing List to
submit unpublished health and safety studies under TSCA section 8(d)
that must be in compliance with the revised HaSDR rule (Ref. 1). All
submissions must be received by EPA
[[Page 33531]]
within 90 days of the reporting rules Federal Register publication
date.
B. ITC's Use of TSCA Section 8 and Other Information
The ITC's use of TSCA section 8 and other information is described
in previous ITC reports (http://www. epa.gov/opptintr/itc/rptmain.htm/
).
C. Previous Requests to Add Chemicals to the TSCA Section 8(a) PAIR
Rule
In its 53\rd\ ITC Report, the ITC requested that EPA add 3
pyridinamines and 20 tungsten compounds to the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR
rule (Ref. 2).
D. Previous Requests to Add Chemicals to the TSCA Section 8(d) HaSDR
Rule
In previous ITC reports it was requested that the following
chemicals be added to the TSCA section 8(d) HaSDR rule: 3H-1,2,4-
triazole-3-thione, 5-amino-1,2-dihydro- (3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-
triazole) (CAS No. 16691-43-3) and imidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-
dione, tetrahydro- (glycoluril) (CAS No. 496-46-8) (42\nd\ ITC Report,
Ref. 3), 9 indium compounds (47\th\ ITC Report, Ref. 4); benzenamine,
3-chloro-2, 6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)- (CAS No. 29091-
20-1) (48\th\ ITC Report, Ref. 5); and stannane, dimethylbis[(1-
oxoneodecyl)oxy]- (CAS No. 68928-76-7) (49\th\ ITC Report, Ref. 6);
benzene, 1,3,5-tribromo-2-(2-propenyloxy)- (CAS No. 3278-89-5) and 1-
triazene, 1,3-diphenyl- (CAS No.136-35-6) (50\th\ ITC Report, Ref. 7).
The TSCA section 8(d) studies requested for these chemicals were listed
in the ITC's 51\st\ Report (Ref. 8). On May 4, 2004, EPA issued a final
rule pursuant to TSCA section 8(d) requiring manufacturers (including
importers) of these 15 chemicals to report certain unpublished health
and safety data to EPA (Ref. 9).
III. ITC's Activities During this Reporting Period (November 2003 to
April 2004)
During this reporting period, the ITC received voluntary
submissions of exposure-related information on vanadium compounds. The
ITC acknowledges and appreciates the submissions received from BASF
Corporation; Cormetech, Inc.; Engelhard Corporation; OSRAM Sylvania,
Inc.; W.R. Grace & Company; Color Pigments Manufacturers Association;
Sud Chemie; Akzo Nobel Chemicals, Inc.; American Acryl L.P.
International, Inc.; and the Vanadium Producers and Reclaimers
Association (VPRA). The procedures for submitting voluntary information
through the ITC's Voluntary Information Submissions Innovative Online
Network (VISION) are described on the ITC's web site (http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc/vision.htm/
).
During this reporting period, the ITC reviewed the CBI PAIR reports
submitted in response to the June 11, 2003, PAIR rule (Ref. 10). The
ITC is exploring the idea of sanitizing the CBI data to create broad
non-CBI categories of worker numbers and worker hours that it could
share with the public. To accomplish this, the ITC is proposing the
idea of posting these broad non-CBI categories of worker numbers and
worker hours on the ITC's web site (http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/itc/).
There is a precedent for the ITC to do this. In its November 30,
1999, 45\th\ ITC Report to the EPA Administrator (Ref. 11), the ITC
discussed the idea of sharing non-CBI production volume ranges with the
public. In May 2001, the EPA posted on its web site non-CBI production
volume ranges for chemicals that were reported in response to the 1998
Inventory Update Rule (IUR) (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/iur/iur98/index.htm/
). Since then, these ranges have been revised and the non-CBI
production volume ranges for chemicals that were reported in response
to the 1986, 1990, 1994, and 2002 IUR have been posted on EPA's web
site (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/iur/iur02/ index.htm/ ).
By making broad non-CBI categories of worker numbers and worker
hours available to the public, the ITC is suggesting that this
information could be used to make more recent occupational-exposure
estimates then provided by the 1981-1983 NIOSH National Occupational
Exposure Survey. The ITC is proposing posting the following broad non-
CBI categories on its web site:
Worker ranges: <100;100-1,000; 1,000-10,000; and >10,000.
Worker hour ranges: <100, 100-1,000; 1,000-10,000; and >10,000.
Comments on these proposals should be sent to the ITC Director by
July 15, 2004.
IV. Revisions to the TSCA Section 4(e) Priority Testing List
In its 45\th\ ITC Report (Ref. 11), the ITC removed 47 chemicals
from the Priority Testing List, because EPA published a June 9, 1999,
Federal Register notice proposing in vitro dermal absorption rate
testing for these chemicals (Ref. 12). In its June 9, 1999, Federal
Register notice, the EPA also mentioned that in vitro dermal absorption
rate testing did not have to be conducted for tert-butyl alcohol (CAS
No. 75-65-0) because an in vivo study of its dermal absorption rate was
submitted to the EPA in 1998. The ITC is removing tert-butyl alcohol
from the Priority Testing List in this 54\th\ ITC Report because the
EPA found that the 1998 in vivo study was sufficiently adequate not to
require in vitro dermal absorption rate testing of tert-butyl alcohol.
On April 26, 2004, EPA issued a final rule pursuant to TSCA section
4(a) requiring manufacturers (including importers) to conduct in vitro
dermal absorption rate testing for 34 of these chemicals (Ref. 13).
Forty-three vanadium compounds were added to the Priority Testing
List in the ITC's 51\st\ Report (Ref. 8). Based on responses to the
June 11, PAIR rule (Ref. 10), the ITC is removing 25 vanadium compounds
from the Priority Testing List (Table 2). The 18 vanadium compounds
remaining on the Priority Testing List are listed in Table 3.
