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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director, 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-543B, 401

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.
