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

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 July 24, 2000 to August 11, 2000, consists of the PMNs, 
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.
