SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document extends the public comment 
period for certain chemicals established in the Federal Register 
document of June 11, 2018 (83 FR 26998) (FRL- 9978-40). In that 
document, a public comment period opened on EPA's problem formulation 
documents for the first 10 chemical substances undergoing risk 
evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in Table 1 and 
the document entitled Application of Systematic Review in TSCA Risk 
Evaluations. EPA is hereby further extending the comment period for the 
problem formulation, and the document entitled Application of 
Systematic Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations, which was set to end on 
July 26, 2018, to August 16, 2018.

[[Page 38692]]

    Although the comment periods will end on August 16, 2018, EPA will 
try to consider any additional comments received after this date. 
However, given the need to peer review the draft risk evaluations, the 
peer reviewers may not receive public comments submitted late. There 
will be an additional comment period following the publication of each 
of the draft risk evaluations.
