SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What rule is being withdrawn?

    In the January 27, 2015 Federal Register (80 FR 4482) (FRL-9921-
56), EPA added certain chemical substances to the list of chemical 
substances that are partially exempt from reporting additional 
information under the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule. EPA later 
received an adverse comment that is pertinent to all six of the 
chemical substances that are the subject of that rule (EPA-HQ-OPPT-
2014-0809). In accordance with the procedures described in the January 
27, 2015 Federal Register document, EPA is withdrawing the direct final 
rule. EPA anticipates that it will publish, in the near future, a 
notice proposing to add these six chemical substances to the list of 
chemical substances that are partially exempt from reporting additional 
information under the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule.
