Certain Chemicals; Premanufacture Notices

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 5(a)(1) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
requires any person who intends to manufacture or import a new chemical 
substance to submit a premanufacture notice (PMN) to EPA at least 90 
days before manufacture or import commences. Statutory requirements for 
section 5(a)(1) premanufacture notices are discussed in the final rule 
published in the Federal Register of May 13, 1983 (48 FR 21722). In the 
Federal Register of November 11, 1984, (49 FR 46066) (40 CFR 723.250), 
EPA published a rule which granted a limited exemption from certain PMN 
requirements for certain types of polymers. Notices for such polymers 
are reviewed by EPA within 21 days of receipt. This notice announces 
receipt of 19 such PMN(s) and provides a summary of each.

DATES: Close of review periods:
