ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing amendments to the Renewable Fuel Standard
program requirements. Following publication of the May 1, 2007, final
rule promulgating the Renewable Fuel Standard regulations, EPA
discovered a number of technical errors and areas within the
regulations that could benefit from clarification or modification. In
parallel proposed and direct final rules published on October 8, 2008,
EPA proposed to amend the regulations to make the appropriate
corrections, clarifications and modifications. However, EPA received
adverse comment on several provisions in the parallel proposed and
direct final rules and, on November 26, 2008, withdrew those provisions
from the direct final rule that drew adverse comment. In today's
action, EPA is addressing the comments received on the portions of the
direct final rule that were withdrawn and is finalizing those withdrawn
provisions with minor clarifying changes.
DATES: This final rule is effective on August 24, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0161. All documents in the docket are listed on the

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 23
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs). Four of these chemical substances are subject to TSCA section
5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. This action requires persons who
intend to manufacture, import, or process any of these 23 chemical
substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use
by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the
opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit
or limit that activity before it occurs.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is August 24, 2009 without
further notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or critical
comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments
before July 24, 2009. This rule shall be promulgated for purposes of
judicial review at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on July 8, 2009.
If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these
SNURs before July 24, 2009, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections of
this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a
proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public
comment.
Additionally, significant new use designations for a chemical
substance are legally established as of the date of publication of this
direct final rule June 24, 2009. See the discussion in Unit VII. for
more specific details.
Further, for persons intending to import or export any of the
chemical substances in this rule, they are subject to the TSCA section
13 import certification requirements and the export notification
provisions of TSCA section 12(b) as of July 24, 2009. See the
discussion in Unit I.A. and Unit II.C. for more specific details.

Notice is hereby given that on June 16, 2009 a proposed Consent
Decree in United States v. Wallside, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:09-12317-

Eastern District of Michigan. The consent decree settles claims against
a window manufacturing and replacement corporation located outside of
Detroit, Michigan. The claims were brought on behalf of the
Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S. EPA'') under the Toxic
Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., and on behalf of the
State of Michigan Department of Community Health (``Michigan DCH'')
under the Michigan Lead Abatement Act, 1998 Mich. Pub. Acts 219 1 et
seq., Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. 333.5451 et seq. The Plaintiffs allege in
the complaint that the Settling Defendant failed to make one or more of
the disclosures or to complete one or more of the disclosure activities

Under the Consent Decree, the Settling Defendant will pay a civil
penalty of $100,000 and will certify that it is now in compliance and
will continue to comply with residential lead based paint hazard
notification requirements. The Settling Defendant will also perform two
Supplemental Environmental Projects (``SEPs''). For one SEP the
Settling Defendant will provide $350,000 worth of windows to the State
of Michigan for installation in housing built before 1978. For the
other SEP, the Settling Defendant will voluntarily employ lead safe
work practices in advance of being subject to Federal regulations which
will become effective in April of 2010 imposing similar lead safe work
practices requirements on all renovators of pre-1978 properties.
