Polyalkylene Polyamine; Revocation of a Significant New Use Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is revoking a significant new use rule (SNUR) promulgated

under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for

the chemical substance described generically as polyalkylene polyamine

which was the subject of premanufacture notice (PMN) P-89-963. EPA

initially published this SNUR using direct final rulemaking procedures.

EPA received adverse comments on this rule. Therefore, the Agency is

revoking this rule, as required under the Expedited SNUR rulemaking

process (40 CFR part 721 subpart D). In a separate notice of proposed

rulemaking published elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal

Register, EPA is proposing a SNUR for this substance with a 30-day

comment period.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective on December 19, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of June 8, 1993 (58

FR 32227), EPA issued several direct final SNURs including a SNUR for

the substance described generically as polyalkylene polyamine, PMN P-

89-963. As described in 40 CFR 721.160, EPA is revoking the rule issued

for P-89-963 under direct final rulemaking procedures because the

Agency received adverse comments. As required by

Sec. 721.160(a)(3)(iii), EPA is proposing the rule published elsewhere

in today's issue of the Federal Register. For further information

regarding EPA's expedited process for issuing SNURs, interested parties

are directed to 40 CFR part 721 subpart D. The record for the direct

final SNUR for this substance which is being revoked by this rule was

established at OPPTS-50608. That record includes information considered

by the Agency in developing this rule, and includes the adverse

comments to which the Agency has responded with this notice of

revocation. The docket control number for the revocation is OPPTS-

50608A. For details refer to the proposal published elsewhere in

today's issue of the Federal Register. The relevant portions of the

original docket for the direct final SNUR are being incorporated under

OPPTS-50608B, which is established for the proposed rule.

A public version of the record without any confidential business

information is available in the TSCA Nonconfidential Information Center

(NCIC) from 12 noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal

holidays. The TSCA NCIC is located in Rm. NE-B607, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460.
