B. What action is the Agency taking?
In June 2018, EPA finalized a rule to require reporting from persons who manufacture including import mercury or mercury-added products, or otherwise intentionally use mercury in a manufacturing process Ref. 1. That rule was challenged in the Second Circuit by the Natural Resources Defense Council and several state attorneys general in July 2018. Oral arguments were held on November 20, 2019, and the court issued its decision on June 5, 2020. The petitioners argued that three exemptions to the reporting requirements violated the statutory mandate within TSCA section 8b10.
The Agency argued that the three exemptions were lawful because EPA
determined certain reporting to be duplicative or burdensome per existing EPA or other mercury-related reporting requirements. Duplicative or overly burdensome reporting requirements are prohibited under TSCA section 8a5.
The Agency prevailed on two issues, but the Second Circuit vacated the exemption at 40 CFR 713.7b2 for persons who import pre-assembled products that contain a mercury-added component Ref. 2. As a result, such persons are now required to report pursuant to 40 CFR 713.7b. This rule is effectuating the vacatur ordered by the Second Circuit by making necessary amendments to the corresponding text in 40 CFR 713.7b.
C. What is the Agencys authority for taking this action?
EPA is issuing this final rule pursuant to TSCA section 8b10D 15 U.S.C.
2607b10D, which authorizes EPA
to require reporting in order to assist in preparing the inventory of mercury supply, use and trade in the United States. In addition, section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act APA, 5
U.S.C. 553b3B, provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment.
