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substances to submit certain unpublished health and safety data to EPA.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withdrawn from 40 CFR parts 712 and 716 for good cause as specified in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

II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is withdrawing certain chemical substances that would be
subject to the reporting requirements under TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d).
On August 16, 2006, EPA published a final PAIR rule under TSCA section
8(a) (40 CFR part 712), which requires manufacturers (including
importers) of chemical substances in the category of voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances on the ITC's
TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List to submit a one-time report on
general production/importation volume, end use, and exposure-related
information to EPA (71 FR 47122) (FRL-7764-9). Also on August 16, 2006,
EPA published a final Health and Safety Data Reporting rule under TSCA
section 8(d) (40 CFR part 716), which requires manufacturers (including
importers) of chemical substances in this category of voluntary HPV
Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances to submit
certain unpublished health and safety data to EPA (71 FR 47130) (FRL-
7764-7). On September 15, 2006, EPA published a final rule that revised
the effective date of the two rules published on August 16, 2006 (71 FR
54434) (FRL-8094-8). The effect of this withdrawal is that the listed
chemical substances will not be subject to the reporting requirements
imposed by the final TSCA section 8(a) and 8(d) rules published on
August 16, 2006, and the rule published on September 15, 2006, that
changed the effective date for these two rules.
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking This Action?
EPA promulgated the PAIR rule under TSCA section 8(a) (15 U.S.C.
2607(a)), and it is codified at 40 CFR part 712. EPA uses this model
TSCA section 8(a) rule to quickly gather current information on
chemical substances. This model TSCA section 8(a) rule establishes
standard reporting requirements for certain manufacturers (including
importers) of the chemical substances listed in the rule at 40 CFR
712.30. This model rule provides for the addition of TSCA section 4(e)
ITC-recommended/designated Priority Testing List chemical substances to
the list of chemical substances subject to reporting under 40 CFR part
712. EPA amends, unless otherwise instructed by the ITC, the model TSCA
section 8(a) rule by adding the ITC-recommended (or designated)
chemical substances. The final rule published by EPA on August 16,
2006, amended the model TSCA section 8(a) rule by adding the ITC
category of certain voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemical substances (Ref. 1).
Under 40 CFR part 712.30(c), the Agency may withdraw, for good
cause, a listed substance, mixture, or category from the rule's
reporting requirements prior to the effective date of the rule. Any
information submitted showing why a substance, mixture, or category
should be removed from the rule must be received by EPA within 14 days
after the date of publication of the rule. If a substance, mixture, or
category is removed, a Federal Register document announcing this
decision will be published no later than the effective date of the
amendment. This Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to
withdraw certain chemical substances from 40 CFR part 712 that were
added by the Agency on August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1).
EPA promulgated the model Health and Safety Data Reporting rule
under TSCA section 8(d) (15 U.S.C. 2607(d)), and it is codified at 40
CFR part 716. EPA uses this TSCA section 8(d) model rule to quickly
gather current information on chemical substances. The TSCA section
8(d) model rule requires past, current, and prospective manufacturers,
importers, and (if specified by EPA in a particular notice or rule
under TSCA section 8(d)) processors of listed chemical substances to
submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies
on the listed chemical substances that they manufacture, import, or (if
specified by EPA in a particular notice or rule under TSCA section
8(d)) process. This model rule provides for the addition of TSCA
section 4(e) ITC-recommended/designated Priority Testing List chemical
substances to the list of chemical substances subject to reporting
under 40 CFR part 716. EPA
[[Page 57441]]
amends, unless otherwise instructed by the ITC, the model TSCA section
8(d) rule by adding the ITC-recommended (or designated) chemical
substances. The final rule published by EPA on August 16, 2006, amended
the model TSCA section 8(d) rule by adding the ITC category of certain
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical
substances (Ref. 2).
Under 40 CFR 716.105(c), the Agency may withdraw, for good cause, a
listed substance, mixture, or category from the rule's reporting
requirements prior to the effective date of the rule. Any information
submitted showing why a chemical substance, mixture, or category of
chemical substances should be withdrawn from the amendment must be
received by EPA within 14 days after the date of publication of the
rule. If a chemical substance, mixture, or category of chemical
substances is withdrawn, a Federal Register document announcing this
decision will be published no later than the effective date of the
amendment. This Federal Register document announces EPA's decision to
withdraw certain chemical substances from 40 CFR part 716 that were
added by the Agency on August 16, 2006 (Ref. 2).
These withdrawal actions do not preclude potential future listing
under the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule or the TSCA section 8(d) Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule should the information be reasonably
required.
C. Why is this Action Being Issued as a Final Rule?
EPA is publishing this action as a final rule without prior notice
and an opportunity for comment pursuant to the procedures set forth in
40 CFR 712.30(c) and 716.105(c). EPA finds that there is good cause
under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) to
make these amendments without prior notice and comment. EPA believes
notice and an opportunity for comment on this action are unnecessary.
TSCA directs the ITC to add chemical substances to the Priority
Testing List for which EPA should give priority consideration. Pursuant
to 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c), once the ITC adds a chemical substance to
the Priority Testing List, EPA in turn is obliged to add that chemical
substance to the list of chemical substances subject to the Health and
Safety Data Reporting rule reporting requirements, unless requested not
to do so by the ITC. EPA also has the discretion, under 40 CFR
716.105(c), to withdraw a listed substance, mixture, or category from
the list of subject chemical substances based on information submitted
to EPA that shows why a chemical substance should be removed from the
rule. EPA promulgated this procedure in 1985 after having solicited
public comment on the need for and mechanics of this procedure. (See
the Federal Register of August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34809)). Because that
document established the procedure for adding and withdrawing ITC
chemical substances to the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule, it is
unnecessary to request comment on the procedure in this action. EPA
believes this action does not raise any relevant issues for comment.
EPA is not changing the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule reporting
requirements or the process set forth in 40 CFR 716.105(b) and (c).
This action is also consistent with the EPA policy articulated in the
August 16, 2006 rule that sponsorship of a chemical substance under the
voluntary HPV Challenge Program is generally good cause for withdrawing
a chemical substance from the Health and Safety Data Reporting rule.
Similarly, pursuant to 40 CFR 712.30(c), once the ITC adds a
chemical substance to the Priority Testing List, EPA in turn is obliged
to add that chemical substance to the list of chemical substances
subject to PAIR reporting requirements, unless requested not to do so
by the ITC. EPA also has the discretion, under 40 CFR 716.30(c), to
withdraw a listed substance, mixture, or category from the list of
subject chemical substances based on information submitted to EPA that
shows why a chemical substance should be removed from the rule. EPA
promulgated this procedure in 1985 after having solicited public
comment on the need for and mechanics of this procedure. (See the
Federal Register of August 28, 1985 (50 FR 34805)). Because that
rulemaking established the procedure for adding and withdrawing ITC
chemical substances to the PAIR rule, it is unnecessary to request
comment on the procedure in this action. EPA believes this action does
not raise any relevant issues for comment. EPA is not changing the PAIR
rule reporting requirements or the process set forth in 40 CFR
712.30(c). This action is also consistent with the EPA policy
articulated in the August 16, 2006 rule that sponsorship of a chemical
substance under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program is generally good
cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the PAIR rule.
III. Final Rule
A. Why are These Chemical Substances Being Withdrawn?
Pursuant to TSCA section 8(a), EPA published a PAIR final rule on
August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1), which requires manufacturers (including
importers) of chemical substances in the category (as defined by the
55\th\, 56\th\, and 58\th\ ITC Reports (Refs. 3, 4, and 5)) of
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical
substances on the ITCs TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List to
submit a report to EPA on general production/importation volume, end
use, and exposure-related information to EPA.
Also on August 16, 2006, EPA published, pursuant to TSCA section
8(d), a Health and Safety Data Reporting final rule (Ref. 2), which
requires manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances in
the category (as defined by the 55\th\, 56\th\, and 58\th\ ITC Reports
(Refs. 3, 4, and 5)) of voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan
(unsponsored) chemical substances on the ITC's TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List to submit certain unpublished health and safety
data to EPA.
As stated in these two rules that added the voluntary HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical substances category to 40 CFR
parts 712 and 716 (Refs. 1 and 2), EPA has established a policy
regarding acceptance of new commitments to sponsor chemical substances
under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program (Ref. 6). Under this policy,
EPA stated that it would accept new commitments to sponsor chemical
substances under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program for any of the
voluntary HPV Challenge Program orphan (unsponsored) chemical
substances listed in the regulatory texts of the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR
rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule (Ref. 2) provided that these new commitments to the
voluntary HPV Challenge Program were received by EPA within 14 days
after the date of publication of these two rules in the Federal
Register. EPA generally believes that a timely commitment to sponsor
chemical substances under the voluntary HPV Challenge Program
establishes good cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the
TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health and
Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2). EPA also stated in the August 16,
2006 rules that it would remove chemical substances from the TSCA
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d)
[[Page 57442]]
Health and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2), in accordance with the
procedures described in 40 CFR 712.30(c) and 40 CFR 716.105(c), if
withdrawal requests submitted to EPA in conjunction with these new
commitments to the voluntary HPV Challenge Program were received on or
before 14 days after date of publication of the two rules in the
Federal Register.
For 22 of the chemical substances listed in this document, EPA
received commitments to the voluntary HPV Challenge Program prior to or
within 14 days after the date of publication of the TSCA section 8(a)
PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule (Ref. 2) in the Federal Register. These commitments to
the voluntary HPV Challenge Program are accepted and, based on EPA's
commitment policy (Ref. 6), EPA is removing these chemical substances
from the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA section
8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2).
In addition, EPA is removing four chemical substances from the TSCA
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA secton 8(d) Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2) because of commitments made to
sponsor chemical substances under the OECD HPV Screening Information
Data Set (SIDS) Program and/or the ICCA HPV Initiative. The OECD SIDS
program and the ICCA HPV Initiative are complementary programs to the
HPV Challenge, and EPA believes its policy regarding commitments to
sponsor chemical substances under the HPV Challenge should also
generally apply to the OECD SIDS program and ICCA HPV Initiative. Thus,
EPA believes that a commitment to sponsor chemical substances under the
OECD SIDS Program or the ICCA HPV Initiative generally establishes good
cause for withdrawing a chemical substance from the TSCA section 8(a)
PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data
Reporting rule (Ref. 2).
EPA is also removing seven chemical substances from the TSCA
section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and from the TSCA section 8(d) Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2) because EPA has received
written requests for removal of these chemical substances from the
voluntary HPV Challenge Program on the basis that the chemical
substances are ``no longer'' HPV. EPA has determined that the
substantiation provided in these written requests, which was based on
reporting under EPA's Inventory Update Rule (IUR), is consistent with
EPA's guidance for removing chemical substances that are no longer HPV
(Ref. 9) and, consequently, EPA believes that this determination
establishes good cause for withdrawing these chemical substances from
the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule (Ref. 1) and TSCA section 8(d) Health
and Safety Data Reporting rule (Ref. 2). Because this determination was
based on data obtained under the IUR, EPA does not believe comment is
necessary on whether these chemical substances meet the volume
threshold for HPV status.
EPA has also determined that good cause does not exist to remove
several other chemical substances that were the subject of withdrawal
requests. The rationales for these determinations are in the docket for
this action.
The net result of these removals is that 210 chemical substances
remain subject to the reporting requirements imposed by the TSCA
section 8(a) and 8(d) rules published on August 16, 2006.
B. What Chemical Substances are Being Withdrawn and the Rationale for
Withdrawal?
Under EPA's authority, 15 U.S.C. 2607(a), the chemical substances
in the table in this unit are being removed from the table in 40 CFR
712.30(e) of the TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rule published in the Federal
Register of August 16, 2006 (Ref. 1), and the table in 40 CFR
716.120(d) of the TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting
rule published in the Federal Register of August 16, 2006 (Ref. 2).

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

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted actions
under TSCA sections 8 (a) and (d) related to the PAIR and Health and
Safety Data Reporting rules from the requirements of Executive Order
12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993). In addition, this rule does not impose any new requirements and
will result in a burden and cost reduction; therefore it is not subject
to OMB review under the Executive order.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection requirements contained in TSCA sections
8(a) PAIR and 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rules have already
been approved by OMB under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and OMB control numbers 2070-0054
(EPA ICR No. 0586) and 2070-0004 (EPA ICR No. 0575). The collection
activities in this rule are captured by the existing approval and do
not require additional review and/or approval by OMB.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because this rule eliminates reporting requirements, the Agency
certifies pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., that this revocation of certain requirements
under TSCA sections 8(a) and 8(d) will not have a significant adverse
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA), Public Law 104-4, EPA has determined that this rule does not
contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100
million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. In addition, EPA has
determined that this rule will not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. Accordingly, the rule is not subject to the
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This rule has no Federalism implications, because it will not have
substantial direct effects on States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified
in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999).
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian
Tribal Governments
This rule has no tribal implications because it will not have
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, nor on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes as specified in Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments
(59 FR 22951, November 6, 2000).
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April
23,1997), does not apply to this rule because this is not an
economically significant regulatory action as defined under Executive
Order 12866, and it does not concern an environmental health or safety
risk that may have a disproportionate effect on children.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because this action is not expected to affect
energy supply, distribution, or use.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Because this action does not involve any technical standards,
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note), does not apply to this action.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not involve special considerations of
environmental justice-related issues pursuant to Executive Order 12898,
entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
VI. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
