This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Notice; reopening of comment period.
EPA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register of August 1, 2018 (FRL-9981-16) for significant new use rules (SNURs) for 145 chemical substances. This document reopens the comment period for the proposed rule until November 14, 2018. EPA is reopening the comment period because it received a request to extend the comment period but the request was received too late to publish an extension of the comment period before the comment period expired.
Comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0366 must be received on or before November 14, 2018.
Follow the detailed instructions provided under ADDRESSES in the Federal Register document of August 1, 2018 (83 FR 37455) (FRL-9981-16).

This document reopens the public comment period established in the Federal Register document of August 1, 2018. In that document, EPA proposed SNURs for 145 chemical substances. EPA received a request to extend the comment period for 30 days but the request was received too late to publish an extension of the comment period before the comment period expired. EPA is hereby reopening the comment period for 30 days.
Note that in the August 1, 2018 issue of the Federal Register including the ( printed page 51911) proposed SNURs for 145 chemical substances, the Agency also issued direct final SNURs for these chemical substances (83 FR 37702) (FRL-9970-23); that action was withdrawn on September 26, 2018 (83 FR 48546) (FRL-9983-72) before it became effective because of the receipt of negative comments. EPA will address all adverse public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.
To submit comments, or access the docket, please follow the detailed instructions provided under ADDRESSES in the Federal Register document of August 1, 2018. If you have questions, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .
