Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is required to publish a
notice of receipt of a premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application
for a test marketing exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status
reports on the chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of
commencement to manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which
covers the period from September 27, 1999 to October 8, 1999, consists
of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the notices of
commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received
under TSCA section 5 during this time period.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine M. Augustyniak, Associate
Director, Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,

not on the TSCA Inventory to notify EPA and comply with the statutory
provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new chemicals. Under
sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to publish a
notice of receipt of a PMN or an application for a TME and to publish
periodic status reports on the chemicals under review and the receipt
of notices of commencement to manufacture those chemicals. This status
report, which covers the period from September 27, 1999 to October 8,
1999, consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the
notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency
has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.
IV. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs
This status report identifies the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or
expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical
that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time
period. If you are interested in information that is not included in
the following tables, you may contact EPA as described in Unit II above
to access additional non-CBI information that may be available.
In table I, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs received by
EPA during this period: the EPA case number assigned to the PMN; the
date the PMN was received by EPA; the projected end date for EPA's
review of the PMN; the submitting manufacturer; the potential uses
identified by the manufacturer in the PMN; and the chemical identity.
