SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is EPA taking?

As directed by TSCA, EPA has developed draft guidance for each of
three new expanded TSCA CBI access provisions. The guidance documents
cover the content and form of the agreements and statements of need
required under each provision, and include some basic logistical
information on where and how to submit requests to EPA. EPA invites
comment from prospective guidance users and other stakeholders
concerning these draft guidance documents.

[[Page 11749]]

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

TSCA section 14(c)(4)(B) requires that EPA develop guidance
concerning the ``content and form of the statements of need and
agreements required'' under TSCA section 14(d)(4), (5), and (6). 15
U.S.C. 2613.

C. Does this action apply to me?

You may be potentially affected by this action if you are a state,
tribal, or local government, or are employed by a government (federal,
state, local, or tribal) or in the private sector and your duties
concern: Chemical regulation; chemical-related law enforcement;
diagnosing or treating chemical exposures; and/or chemical spill,
incident, accident, or emergency response, including injury to humans
or the environment. You may also be affected by this action if you have
or may in the future submit information to EPA that you claim qualifies
as TSCA CBI.

D. What are the potential incremental economic impacts of taking this
action?

The potential incremental economic impacts that are associated with
the information collection activities contained in the guidance
documents are enumerated in the Information Collection Request (ICR)
entitled ``Guidance on Expanded Access to TSCA Confidential Business
Information'' (EPA ICR No. 2570.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-(new)),
which published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2018 (83 FR 10719)
(FRL-9975-24). The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 14.8 hours and
cost about $868 per response.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through regulations.gov
or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you
claim to be CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, 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 claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes 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. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

Enacted on June 22, 2016, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety
for the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 114-182), changed and expanded many
parts of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Among these changes, amended
TSCA section 14(d) expands the categories of people who may now access
TSCA CBI. TSCA CBI is information submitted to EPA under TSCA, for
which a business has made a claim of business confidentiality which has
not been withdrawn by the business, expired, or denied by EPA. There
are three new provisions expanding access to CBI, each under certain
conditions:
Under TSCA section 14(d)(4), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(4), EPA may
disclose CBI to state, tribal, and local governments;
Under TSCA section 14(d)(5), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(5), EPA
may, in non-emergency situations, disclose CBI to a health or
environmental professional employed by a Federal or state agency or
tribal government, or to a treating physician or nurse; and
Under TSCA section 14(d)(6), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(6), EPA may
in the event of an emergency disclose CBI to a treating or responding
physician, nurse, agent of a poison control center, public health or
environmental official of a state, political subdivision of a state, or
tribal government, or to a first responder (including any individual
duly authorized by a Federal agency, state, political subdivision of a
state, or tribal government who is trained in urgent medical care or
other emergency procedures, including a police officer, firefighter, or
emergency medical technician).
The conditions for access vary under each of the new provisions,
but generally include the following;
The requester must show that he or she has a need for the
information related to their employment, professional, or legal duties;
The recipient of TSCA CBI is prohibited from disclosing or
permitting further disclosure of the information to individuals not
authorized to receive it (physicians/nurses may disclose the
information to their patient); and
EPA generally must notify the entity that made the CBI
claim at least 15 days prior to disclosing the CBI. There is an
exception for disclosures in emergency situations, which require that
EPA make the notification as soon as practicable (see TSCA section
14(g)(2)(C)(ii)).
In addition, under these new provisions, requesters are generally
required to sign an agreement and may be required to submit a statement
of need to EPA. Emergency requestors only need to sign an agreement and
submit a statement of need if the entity who made the claim so
requests, following the notification required under TSCA section
14(g)(2)(C)(ii).

III. Draft Documents for Public Review

Draft Implementing Guidance

The Agency developed three separate draft guidance documents
corresponding to each of the new authorities in TSCA section 14(d)(4),
(5), and (6). The conditions for access vary under each of the new
provisions, but generally include the following: Requesters must show
that they have a need for the information related to their employment,
professional, or legal duties; recipients of TSCA CBI are prohibited
from disclosing or permitting further disclosure of the information to
individuals not authorized to receive it (physicians/nurses may
disclose the information to their patient); and except in emergency
situations EPA must notify the entity that made the CBI claim at least
15 days prior to disclosing the CBI. In addition, under these new
provisions, requesters (except in some emergency situations) are
required to sign an agreement and may be required to submit a statement
of need to EPA. In accordance with the requirements of TSCA section
14(c)(4)(B), each guidance document covers the content and form of the
agreements and statements required under each provision and include
information on where and how to submit requests to EPA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

OMB has determined that these draft guidance documents qualified as
significant under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
As such, the draft documents were submitted to OMB for review under
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). Any
changes to the documents that were made in response to OMB
recommendations have been

[[Page 11750]]

documented in the docket for this action as required by section
6(a)(3)(E) of Executive Order 12866.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

In the Federal Register on March 12, 2018 (83 FR 10719) (FRL-9975-
24), EPA announced the availability of and solicited comment on the
draft ICR entitled ``Guidance on Expanded Access to TSCA Confidential
Business Information'' (EPA ICR No. 2570.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-
(new)). The ICR identifies the information collection activities
contained in the draft guidance and provides EPA's estimates for the
related burden and costs. The ICR, after addressing comments received,
will be submitted to OMB for review and approval under the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA
applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553, or any other statute. This action is not subject to the APA but is
subject to TSCA, which does not require notice and comment rulemaking
to take this action.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. As such, the
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205, 2 U.S.C. 1531-
1538, do not apply to this action.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the 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 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

This action does not have tribal implications because it will not
have any effect on tribal governments, on the relationship between the
Federal government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian
tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of Executive Order 13045. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not
establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate environmental
health risks or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on energy supply,
distribution, or use. This action is proposing service fees for TSCA,
which will not have a significant effect on the supply, distribution or
use of energy.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA
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

EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority
populations, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
This action does not affect the level of protection provided to human
health or the environment.

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2613(c).
