Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates; SignificantNew Use Rule

AGENCY: Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA).ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing a significantnew use rule (SNUR) under section5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances ControlAct (TSCA) for 75 substances includingperfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOSH)

and certain of its salts (PFOSS),perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride(POSF), certain higher and lowerhomologues of PFOSH and POSF, andcertain other chemical substances,including polymers, that are derivedfrom PFOSH and its homologues. Thesechemicals are collectively referred to asperfluoroalkyl sulfonates, or PFAS. Thisrule requires manufacturers andimporters to notify EPA at least 90 days

before commencing the manufacture orimport of these chemical substances forthe significant new uses described inthis document. EPA believes that thisaction is necessary because the PFOSH

component of these chemical substancesmay be hazardous to human health andthe environment. The required noticewill provide EPA with the opportunity

to evaluate an intended new use andassociated activities and, if necessary, toprohibit or limit that activity before itoccurs.

DATES: This final rule is effective onJanuary 8, 2003.

by statute to include import) any of thechemical substances that are listed inTable 1 of this unit. Persons who intendto import any chemical substancegoverned by a final SNUR are subject toTSCA section 13 (15 U.S.C. 2612)import certification requirements, andto the regulations codified at 19 CFR

12.118 through 12.127 and 12.728.Those persons must certify that they arein compliance with the SNURrequirements. The EPA policy in

support of import certification appearsat 40 CFR part 707, subpart B. Inaddition, any persons who export orintend to export any of the chemicalsubstances listed in Table 1 are subjectto the export notification provisions ofTSCA section 12(b) (15 U.S.C. 2611(b)),and must comply with the exportnotification requirements in 40 CFR721.20 and 40 CFR part 707, subpartD.Potentially affected entities mayinclude, but are not limited to:

Chemical manufacturers orimporters (NAICS 325), e.g., personswho manufacture (defined by statute toinclude import) one or more of thesubject chemical substances.

Chemical exporters (NAICS 325),e.g., persons who export, or intend toexport, one or more of the subjectchemical substances.

This listing is not intended to beexhaustive, but rather provides a guide

for readers regarding entities likely to beaffected by this action. Other types ofentities not listed in this unit could also

be affected. The North AmericanIndustrial Classification System(NAICS) codes have been provided toassist you and others in determiningwhether this action might apply tocertain entities. To determine whetheryou or your business may be affected bythis action, you should carefullyexamine the applicability provisions in40 CFR 721.5 for SNUR-relatedobligations. Also, consult Unit II.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

This action promulgates thesupplemental proposed SNURpublished in the Federal Register ofMarch 11, 2002 (67 FR 11014) (FRL68237), which modified the originalproposed SNUR published in theFederal Register of October 18, 2000 (65FR 62319) (FRL67455).

This rule requires persons to notifyEPA at least 90 days before commencingthe manufacture or import of thechemical substances identified in Table1, Unit I.A., for the significant new usesdescribed in this document. Thechemical substances identified in Table1, Unit I.A., are 75 chemical substances,including PFOSH, PFOSS, POSF,certain higher and lower homologues ofPFOSH and POSF, and certain otherchemical substances, includingpolymers, that are derived from PFOSHand its homologues. These chemicalsare collectively referred to throughoutthis rule as PFAS. In the originalproposed SNUR, these chemicals werereferred to collectively as perfluorooctylsulfonates, or PFOS, but commentersnoted that this generic usage of the termPFOS was inconsistent with the use bythe manufacturer of PFOS, 3M, to referonly to chemicals with an eight-carbon,

or C8, chain length. Many of thechemicals in this SNUR include a rangeof carbon chain lengths, although mostinclude C8 within the range.Accordingly, EPA uses the generic termPFAS to refer to any carbon chainlength, including mixed ranges andhigher and lower homologues as well asC8, and the term PFOS to represent onlythose chemical substances which arepredominantly C8.

The significant new uses described inthis document are:

1. Any manufacture or import for anyuse of any chemical listed in Table 1,Unit I.A., on or after January 1, 2003,except as noted in Unit II.A.2.

2. Manufacture or import of anychemical listed in Table 1, Unit I.A.,solely for one or more of the followingspecific uses shall not be considered as

a significant new use subject toreporting under this section:i. Use as an anti-erosion additive in

fire-resistant phosphate ester aviationhydraulic fluids.

ii. Use as a component of aphotoresist substance, including a photoacid generator or surfactant, or as acomponent of an anti-reflective coating,used in a photomicrolithographyprocess to produce semiconductors orsimilar components of electronic orother miniaturized devices.

iii. Use in coatings for surface tension,static discharge, and adhesion controlfor analog and digital imaging films,

papers, and printing plates, or as asurfactant in mixtures used to processimaging films.

iv. Use as an intermediate only toproduce other chemical substances to beused solely for the uses listed in UnitII.A.2.i., ii., or iii.

The chemical substances subject tothis SNUR are listed in Table 1, UnitI.A. Most of these PFAS chemicalsubstances include the C8 chain lengthcharacteristic of PFOS and thus have thepotential to degrade to PFOSH in theenvironment or to be converted toPFOSH via incomplete oxidation during

the incineration of PFOS-containingmaterials. Once PFOSH has beenreleased to the environment, it does notundergo further chemical (hydrolysis),microbial, or photolytic degradation.PFOS is highly persistent in theenvironment and has a strong tendencyto bioaccumulate. Studies have foundPFOS in very small quantities in the

blood of the general human populationas well as in wildlife, indicating thatexposure to the chemicals iswidespread, and recent tests have raisedconcerns about their potential

developmental, reproductive, andsystemic toxicity (Refs. 1, 2, and 3).These facts, taken together, raiseconcerns for long term potential adverseeffects in people and wildlife over timeif PFOS should continue to beproduced, released, and built up in theenvironment.

3M, the principal manufacturer of

PFAS worldwide, voluntarilycommitted to discontinue theproduction of the specific PFOS-basedPFAS chemicals covered by this rule byDecember 31, 2002 (Ref. 4). Based onthe information EPA possessed whenthe original proposed SNUR waspublished, EPA concluded that thisaction by 3M would reduce manufactureand importation of these chemicals tozero, with a corresponding reduction inthe type, form, and duration of exposureto these chemicals. EPA thereforeconcluded that any subsequent newmanufacture or importation of these

chemicals would constitute a significantnew use.Commenters on the original SNUR

proposal provided informationconfirming that, contrary to theinformation available to the EPA whenthe original proposed SNUR waspublished, 3M was not the solemanufacturer of certain of the chemicalsubstances on Table 1, Unit I.A.Thesecommenters were importing a few ofthese substances in small quantities

below mandatory reporting thresholdsfor their specific uses from non-3Msources outside the United States priorto the publication of the proposed

SNUR. The identities, amounts, andsuppliers of those specific chemicalswere claimed as CBI, and thus cannot bespecifically identified in this rule. Tothe extent that specific PFAS chemicalsubstances on the proposed SNUR listswere being obtained from sources otherthan 3M for specific uses prior to thepublication of the proposed SNUR, andthus would not be affected by 3Msunilateral decision to discontinueproduction, the manufacture of thosespecific chemicals for particular uses isconsidered to be ongoing and would not

be subject to a significant new use

determination. These specific uses areas a component of a photoresistsubstance, including a photo acidgenerator or surfactant, or as acomponent of an anti-reflective coating,used in a photomicrolithographyprocess to produce semiconductors orsimilar components of electronic orother miniaturized devices.Accordingly, this SNUR identifies themanufacture or importation ofchemicals listed in Table 1, Unit I.A.,for these specific uses as not being asignificant new use.

Commenters on the original SNURproposal who had obtained listedchemicals only from 3M sources prior tothe publication of the proposed SNURalso identified non-3M sources forspecific PFAS chemicals that wereessential to their specific uses in thesemiconductor, aviation hydraulics, andimaging industries. Based on the

information presented by thesecommenters about the limited volume oftheir uses, the extent of controls onexposure and releases, and the absenceof viable alternatives for these specificchemicals, some of which are claimedas CBI and thus cannot be specificallyidentified in this rule, this SNURidentifies the manufacture of chemicalsin Table 1, Unit I.A., for these specificuses as not being significant new uses.Manufacture or importation of thesechemicals for these uses is thus notsubject to this SNUR. Because certain ofthe SNUR chemicals are intermediates

required in the manufacture of thespecific listed chemicals associated withthese excluded uses, the use of PFASchemicals listed in Table 1, Unit I.A., asintermediates solely to produce otherchemicals for one or more of the specificexcluded uses is also excluded from thedefinition of a significant new use.

B. What is the Agencys Authority forTaking this Action?

Section 5(a)(2) of TSCA (15 U.S.C.2604(a)(2)) authorizes EPA to determinethat a use of a chemical substance is asignificant new use. The Agencymakes this determination by rule after

considering all relevant factors,including those listed in TSCA section5(a)(2). These factors include thevolume of a chemical substancesproduction or importation; the extent towhich a use changes the type, form,magnitude, or duration of exposure tothe substance; and the reasonablyanticipated manner of producing orotherwise managing the substance. OnceEPA makes this determination andpromulgates a SNUR, TSCA section5(a)(1)(B) requires persons to submit asignificant new use notice (SNUN) toEPA at least 90 days before they

manufacture, import, or process thechemical substance for that significantnew use (15 U.S.C. 2604 (a)(1)(B)).

As noted in the proposed SNUR, EPAbelieves that the intent of TSCA section5(a)(1)(B) is best served by designatinga use as a significant new use as of theproposal date of the SNUR, rather thanas of the effective date of the final rule.If uses begun after publication of theproposed SNUR were considered to beongoing, rather than new, it would bedifficult for EPA to establish SNURnotice requirements, because any person

could defeat the SNUR by initiating theproposed significant new use before therule became final, and then argue thatthe use was ongoing.

Accordingly, persons who may havebegun commercial manufacture orimport of the PFAS chemicals listed inTable 1, Unit I.A., for the significantnew uses listed in this final SNUR after

the initial proposal was published onOctober 18, 2000, must stop that activity

before the effective date of this finalrule. Persons who cease those activitieswill have to meet all SNUR noticerequirements and wait until the end ofthe notice review period, including allextensions, before engaging in anyactivities designated as significant newuses. If, however, persons who mayhave begun commercial manufacture orimport of these chemical substances

between the proposal and the effectivedate of the SNUR meet the conditions ofadvance compliance as codified at 40

CFR 721.45(h), those persons will beconsidered to have met the final SNURrequirements for those activities.

C. Summary of and Response toComments

Eight parties submitted timelycomments on the supplementalproposed SNUR. All of the commentsgenerally supported the SNUR, althoughseveral of them requested clarificationof specific points. Two partiessubmitted late comments addressing

broader issues of EPAs SNUR authority.Three of the comments, from Solutia,

Inc., ExxonMobil Biomedical Sciences,

Inc., and Boeing Company, supportedthe approach and language of theproposed SNUR with respect to theaviation hydraulics use.

The Semiconductor IndustryAssociation and SemiconductorEquipment and Materials, Inc. (SIA/SEMI), submitted joint commentsgenerally approving the proposedSNUR, but requested clarification ontwo issues, including the scope of theproposed exclusion of thesemiconductor photomicrolithographyuse from the rule and the application ofthe section 12(b) export notification

requirements of TSCA to the export ofchemicals and products intended for theexcluded use. SIA/SEMI noted that thephotomicrolithography processes usedin the semiconductor industry are usedto produce not only semiconductors, butalso electronic components of diskdrives, electronics packaging,micromachines, and optoelectronicdevices and circuits. SIA/SEMIindicated that they read the proposedexclusion to apply to such productionactivities, which were included in theindustry mass balance materials they



7/14


supplied to the Agency, and asked EPAto confirm that understanding. EPAacknowledges that the language of theexclusion, which describes ... aphotomicrolithography process toproduce semiconductors or similarcomponents of electronic or otherminiaturized devices, is intended toapply to all of these activities for which

the semiconductor industry, in its datasubmissions to the Agency, detailed thecurrent need to use PFAS to achieve thetechnical requirement of fineness oflines requiring sharp definition in thesubmicron area. EPA agrees that thespecific items listed by SIA/SEMI arecomponents of electronic or otherminiaturized devices. Broaderphotolithography uses are not intendedto be covered by this exclusion, andmanufacture or importation of listedPFAS chemicals for such uses isconsidered to be a significant new usesubject to this rule.

With respect to TSCA section 12(b),SIA/SEMI stated that it assumes that aperson who exports one of thechemicals covered by the SNUR for ause that is excluded from the SNURwould not need to meet exportnotification requirements for suchexports. EPA does not concur with thisinterpretation. Section 12(b)(2) of TSCAprovides that, If any person exports orintends to export to a foreign country achemical substance or mixture forwhich ... a rule has been proposed orpromulgated under section 5 ..., suchperson shall notify the Administrator ofsuch exportation or intent to export and

the Administrator shall furnish to thegovernment of such country notice ofsuch rule ... Regulations implementingTSCA section 12(b) are at 40 CFR part707, subpart D.

The TSCA section 12(b) exportnotification requirement for a chemicalis not contingent on whether theintended use of the chemical has beenregulated under the SNUR, and EPAdoes not interpret TSCA section 12(b) toinclude an exemption for uses that arenot regulated. In promulgating theoriginal TSCA section 12(b) regulations,EPA explained its position, that the

export notification requirement for achemical is not contingent on whetherthe intended use of the chemical has

been regulated . . . Notice must be givento EPA even though the chemical is

being exported for a use, or in a manner,that is not regulated domestically underthe relevant TSCA section 5, 6, or 7action, rule or order. (45 FR 82844,82846, December 16, 1980.) UnderTSCA section 12(b), the Agency isresponsible for informing the importingcountry about actions taken with respectto a chemical that is the subject of a

proposed or final SNUR. This noticeincludes information about any exemptuses within the United States. It is upto the foreign government to determinewhat action, if any, should be takenwith respect to the substance in thatcountry. The Agency also notes that, inmany cases, the exporter will not knowthe use of the substance or mixture

being exported. Requiring the exporterto make a use determination would beunnecessarily burdensome, and could

be impossible in some cases.Accordingly, EPA believes its currentinterpretation of TSCA section 12(b)

best furthers the intent of the statute.Air Products Electronic Chemicals

(APEC) requested that the Agencyclarify specifically whether thesemiconductor photomicrolithographyexclusion would apply to developerproducts with a PFAS component. Thisexclusion applies only to componentsof photoresist substances andcomponents of anti-reflectivecoatings. Developers are not

components of either photoresistsubstances or anti-reflectivecoatings, and thus are not includedwithin the scope of the exclusion. Themanufacture or importation of PFAS foruse in developers and polyimides isconsidered a significant new use underthis rule.

The Eastman Kodak Company filedcomments and supporting materials on

behalf of the International ImagingIndustry Association (I3A), requestingminor changes to the language of theproposed exclusion for certain imaging

uses and providing substantialinformation on the industrys reductionsin PFAS use and on the details of PFASuse, exposures, and releases by theindustry. I3A also met twice with theAgency to present information andanswer questions, and materials andcorrespondence from those meetingswere included in the rulemaking record.The language changes requested by I3Ahelp to clarify the intended applicationof the exclusion, and have beenincorporated into the regulatory text ofthe rule.

The specific imaging uses excluded

from the significant new use definitionare uses in coatings for surface tension,static discharge, and adhesion controlfor analog and digital imaging films,papers, and printing plates, or as asurfactant in mixtures used to processimaging films. Coatings for surfacetension control allow the rapidspreading of multiple thin layers oflight-sensitive materials at high speed toprevent drying of materials as they arelaid down. This prevents irregularitiesin the coating which would make thefilms, papers, or printing plates

unuseable. Coatings to control staticdischarge help to repel dirt, reducefriction, and thus prevent the dischargeof static electricity otherwise built upduring the transport of imagingmaterials through manufacturing andimage processing equipment. Thisprevents light-sensitive imagingmaterials from being fogged and

rendered useless by light from a staticdischarge. Because tape is the primaryway in which imaging materials areattached to spools and to each otherduring processing, adhesion controlcoatings help to ensure that the bond

between the tape and the coating will bestrong enough to withstand transportduring use and processing, but willseparate before it would damage eitherthe imaging material or the equipment.

The exclusion for use of PFAS as asurfactant in mixtures used to processimaging films involves incorporation ofa PFAS material into a mixture that is

used as a photoprocessing solutionwhere its surfactant properties functionto prevent discoloration of films whilethe films are being processed throughthe solution. This exclusion appliesonly to processing films. Use as asurfactant in mixtures to process papersand printing plates would be asignificant new use under the rule.

The I3A comments and supportingdocuments characterized the specificuses, exposures, and releases of PFASmaterials in the imaging industry insuch a way as to greatly improve theAgencys understanding. Thesubmission also reflected a significant

reduction in the use of the chemicalssubject to the SNUR. Comments on theoriginal SNUR proposal indicated thatthe annual worldwide usage volume ofthese chemicals was approximately36,000 kilograms (kg) (79,200 pounds),of which the U.S. consumption wasapproximately 18,000 kg/year (yr). Therecent I3A comments reported that theUnited States demand for thesechemicals is expected to be down to3,000 kg/yr by the end of 2002. Of thisamount, I3A estimates that less than 50kg/yr are used for paper products andless than 300 kg/yr are used for printing

plates, with the remainder being usedfor various film products in the UnitedStates. Of the remaining 2,650 kg/yr thatare used for film, I3A estimates that 30kg/yr are used as a surfactant inprocessing solutions and 2,620 kg/yr areused in film coatings. I3A reported thatthe industry has pursued alternativechemicals aggressively, indicating thatthe PFAS usage volumes are expected tocontinue to decline over time. EPAcommends the members of I3A for thesignificant steps made in reducing theuse of the PFAS chemicals listed in the



8/14


SNUR, and for the effort expended insupplying the Agency with a substantial

base of information on which to makeits decision.

3M requested clarification of theSNUR scope and nomenclature toemphasize that the hazard assessmentsupporting the proposed rule addressedonly PFOS, the C8 chain length, not the

entire range of PFAS chemicals coveringall carbon chain lengths. 3M also statedthat all of the chemicals voluntarilydiscontinued by 3M and subject to theSNUR would be properly characterizedas being predominantly C8, or PFOS,and expressed concern that using thePFAS term in connection with theregulation of these specific chemicalscould be confusing because many PFASchemicals exist that are not subject tothis rule. In this final rule, EPA hascontinued to use the PFAS name for theentire category, but has attempted tomake clear that most of the chemicals

subject to this rule do include the C8chain length specifically of concern,although individual chemicals on thelist include a range of higher and lowerhomologues in addition to C8. EPAacknowledges that the hazardassessment supporting the originalproposed rule addressed only C8, orPFOS, chemicals, and not the full rangeof homologues.

3M requested that EPA clarify itsfuture regulatory intentions with respectto these related chemicals. As indicatedin the supplemental proposed SNUR,EPA is evaluating and assessing otherPFAS and PFAS-related chemicals not

listed in this rule. It is true that otherPFAS chemicals, including lowerhomologues, have distinct hazardprofiles and may not present the sameconcerns expressed by EPA with respectto PFOS. However, EPA is reviewingdata on those other homologues, and, ifwarranted, will take action asappropriate on other PFAS chemicals.Because of the unique properties ofperfluorinated compounds, EPA iscurrently assessing a variety of thesecompounds to determine their hazardprofiles, including not only PFASchemicals but also perfluorooctanoic

acid (PFOA) and its salts, as well asfluorinated telomers. That thesechemicals are currently underassessment does not necessarily indicatethat regulation will follow; it indicatesonly that EPA is seeking answers toquestions that have been raised aboutthese chemicals and their behavior.

3M also requested that EPAacknowledge the substantial amount ofdata on PFOS submitted by 3M sincethe drafting of the original hazardassessment, and acknowledge the effortunderway by the Organization for

Economic Cooperation andDevelopment (OECD) to prepare aninternational hazard assessment onPFOS. EPA has been an activecontributor to the OECD assessmenteffort, and toward that end, has beenreviewing all of the data submitted by3M and others with respect to PFOS.EPA commends 3M for the extensive

research it has conducted and continuesto pursue to improve the understandingof these unique chemicals. When theOECD assessment document is released,it will be included in both the docket forthis rule, and in Administrative Record(AR) file AR226. AR226 is the non-regulatory public access file forinformation on all the relatedfluorinated chemicals being assessed bythe EPA, including PFOS, PFAS, PFOAand its salts, and fluorinated telomerchemicals. Copies of the index to and alldocuments contained within AR226can be obtained through the docket

facility identified in Unit I.B.1.Waste Notquestioned whether PFASchemicals previously on the list ofpesticide inerts would continue to belisted, whether one named chemical onthe inerts list was included in theSNUR, and whether its understanding ofthe status of sulfluramid products wascorrect. Waste Notalso asked whetherEPA would identify crops on whichthese products were used. EPA confirmsthat none of the PFAS chemicals on theinerts list identified by Waste Not,including the named chemical withouta CAS number provided, are currentlyformulated into pesticide products, and

they will all be removed from the EPAList 3 Inerts list the next time that listis updated. EPA notes that, althoughthese PFAS chemicals will remain onthe List 3 Inerts list until that list isupdated, the manufacture or import ofchemicals listed in this rule for use asinert ingredients in pesticide productswould be a significant new use subjectto this rule. Although TSCA does notregulate chemicals manufactured for usesolely as pesticide active ingredients,chemical intermediates and pesticideinert ingredients are subject toregulation under TSCA.

With respect to Waste Nots commentconcerning the current status ofregistered insecticide productscontaining sulfluramid, EPA concurswith the list of active and cancelledproducts provided by Waste Not. Thereare currently 16 products listed as activeand 3 products cancelled. Three of thefour products listed as transferred, EPARegistration Nos. 1154021, 1812330,and 1812329, are the same as the threeproducts listed as cancelled. The fourthproduct listed as transferred, EPARegistration No. 1154020, is the same

as the active product under EPARegistration No. 49945. All pesticideproducts containing sulfluramid areunder a specific timeline to be phasedout by 2016. The pesticide products thatare registered are for use in a variety ofenclosed termite, ant, and roach baitstations. These products are pre-filledand sold only in child-resistant

packaging. Products containingsulfluramid have not been registered forfood or crop uses.

The American Chemistry Council(ACC) filed late comments supportingthe effort by EPA and industry toaddress concerns pertaining to PFAScompounds on a cooperative basis, butalso expressed the opinion that anincrease in manufacture or importationfor an existing use should not beconsidered a new use within themeaning of TSCA section 5(a)(2).ATOFINA Chemicals, Inc. filed latecomments supporting the comments of

ACC. As no volume cap or trigger onmanufacturing or importation for anexisting use has been incorporated intothis rule, EPA will not address this issuein the context of this rule. In addition,EPA believes ACCs and ATOFINAscomments present a broader legal issueregarding EPAs authority under TSCAsection 5, rather than specific issuesrelated to PFAS. EPA does not believeit is necessary or appropriate to engagein a broader legal discussion in thecontext of this specific SNUR.

IV. Statutory and Executive OrderReviews

Under Executive Order 12866,entitled Regulatory Planning andReview(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),the Office of Management and Budget(OMB) has determined that SNURs arenot a significant regulatory action

subject to review by OMB, becauseSNURs do not meet the criteria insection 3(f) of the Executive order.

According to the PaperworkReduction Act (PRA), 44 USC 3501 etseq., an agency may not conduct orsponsor, and a person is not required torespond to a collection of informationthat requires OMB approval under thePRA, unless it has been approved byOMB and displays a currently validOMB control number. The OMB controlnumbers for EPAs regulations, afterinitial display in the Federal Registerand in addition to its display on any

related collection instrument, are listedin 40 CFR part 9.

The information collectionrequirements related to this action havealready been approved by OMBpursuant to the PRA under OMB controlnumber 20700038 (EPA ICR No.1188.06). This action does not imposeany burden requiring additional OMBapproval. If an entity were to submit aSNUN to the Agency, the annual burdenis estimated to average between 98.96and 118.92 hours per response at anestimated reporting cost of between$5,957 and $7,192 per SNUN. This

burden estimate includes the timeneeded to review instructions, searchexisting data sources, gather andmaintain the data needed, andcomplete, review and submit therequired SNUN, and maintain therequired records. This burden estimatedoes not include 1 hour of technicaltime at $64.30 per hour estimated to berequired for customer notification ofSNUR requirements, or the $2,500 userfee for submission of a SNUN ($100 for

businesses with less than $40 million inannual sales).

Send any comments about the

accuracy of the burden estimate, andany suggested methods for minimizingrespondent burden, including throughthe use of automated collectiontechniques, to the Director, CollectionStrategies Division, Office ofEnvironmental Information,Environmental Protection Agency(2822), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,Washington, DC 204600001. Pleaseremember to include the OMB controlnumber in any correspondence, but donot submit any completed forms to thisaddress.

Pursuant to section 605(b) of theRegulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency herebycertifies that promulgation of this SNURwill not have a significant adverseeconomic impact on a substantialnumber of small entities. A SNURapplies to any person (including smallor large entities) who intends to engage

in any activity described in the rule asa significant new use. By definition ofthe word new, and based on allinformation currently available to EPA,it appears that no small or large entitiescurrently engage in such activity. Sincea SNUR requires merely that any personwho intends to engage in such activityin the future must first notify EPA (bysubmitting a SNUN), no economicimpact will even occur until someonedecides to engage in those activities. Asa voluntary action, it is reasonable topresume that this decision would be

based on a determination by the person

submitting the SNUN that the potentialbenefits would outweigh the costs.Although some small entities maydecide to conduct such activities in thefuture, EPA cannot presently determinehow many, if any, there may be. EPAsexperience to date is that, in response tothe promulgation of over 530 SNURs,the Agency has received fewer than 15SNUNs. Of those SNUNs submitted,none appear to be from small entities. Infact, EPA expects to receive few, if any,SNUNs from either large or smallentities in response to any SNUR.Therefore, EPA believes that theeconomic impact of complying with a

SNUR is not expected to be significantor adversely impact a substantialnumber of small entities. This rationalehas been provided to the Chief Counselfor Advocacy of the Small BusinessAdministration.

Based on EPAs experience with pastSNURs, State, local, and tribalgovernments have not been impacted bythese rulemakings, and EPA does nothave any reasons to believe that anyState, local, or tribal government will beimpacted by this rulemaking. As such,EPA has determined that this regulatoryaction does not impose any enforceable

duty, contain any unfunded mandate, orotherwise have any effect on smallgovernments subject to the requirementsof sections 202, 203, 204, or 205 of theUnfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995(UMRA) (Public Law 1044).

This action will not have a substantialdirect effect on States, on therelationship between the nationalgovernment and the States, or on thedistribution of power andresponsibilities among the variouslevels of government, as specified inExecutive Order 13132, entitled

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,1999).

This rule does not have tribalimplications because it is not expectedto have substantial direct effects onIndian Tribes. This does notsignificantly or uniquely affect thecommunities of Indian tribalgovernments, nor does it involve or

impose any requirements that affectIndian Tribes. Accordingly, therequirements of section 3(b) ofExecutive Order 13084, entitledConsultation and Coordination withIndian Tribal Governments (63 FR276755, May 19, 1998), do not apply tothis rule. Executive Order 13175,entitled Consultation and Coordinationwith Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR67249, November 6, 2000), which tookeffect on January 6, 2001, revokesExecutive Order 13084 as of that date.EPA developed this rulemaking,however, during the period when

Executive Order 13084 was in effect;thus, EPA addressed tribalconsiderations under Executive Order13084. For the same reasons stated forExecutive Order 13084, therequirements of Executive Order 10175do not apply to this rule either.

This action is not subject to ExecutiveOrder 13045, entitled Protection ofChildren from Environmental HealthRisks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,April 23, 1997), because this is not aneconomically significant regulatoryaction as defined by Executive Order12866, and this action does not addressenvironmental health or safety risks

disproportionately affecting children.This rule is not subject to Executive

Fisheries of the Northeastern UnitedStates; Atlantic Surf Clam and OceanQuahog Fishery; Suspension ofMinimum Surf Clam Size for 2003

AGENCY: National Marine FisheriesService (NMFS), National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration,Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of suspension of surfclam minimum size limit.

SUMMARY: NMFS suspends theminimum size limit of 4.75 inches(12.07 cm) for Atlantic surf clams for the2003 fishing year. This action is takenunder the authority of the implementingregulations for this fishery, which allowfor the annual suspension of theminimum size limit based upon setcriteria. The intended effect is to relievethe industry from a regulatory burdenthat is not necessary, as the majority ofsurf clams harvested are larger than theminimum size limit.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2003,through December 31, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Douglas W. Christel, FisheryManagement Specialist, 9782819141.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section648.72(c) of the regulationsimplementing the Fishery ManagementPlan (FMP) for the Atlantic Surf Clam

and Ocean Quahog Fisheries allows theAdministrator, Northeast Region, NMFS(Regional Administrator) to suspendannually, by publication of anotification in the Federal Register, theminimum size limit for Atlantic surfclams. This action may be taken unlessdiscard, catch, and survey data indicatethat 30 percent of the Atlantic surf clamresource is smaller than 4.75 inches(12.07 cm) and the overall reduced sizeis not attributable to harvest from bedswhere growth of the individual clamshas been reduced because of density-dependent factors.

At its June 2002, meeting, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council(Council) voted to recommend that theRegional Administrator suspend theminimum size limit. Commercial surfclam shell length data for 2002 wereanalyzed to determine the percentage ofsurfclams landed that were smaller thanthe minimum size requirement. Theanalysis indicated that 14 percent of thesamples taken overall were composed ofsurf clams that were less than 4.75inches (12.07 cm). Based on these data,the Regional Administrator adopts the
