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 
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 17, 2001 to October 24, 2001, 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. The ``S'' and ``G'' that precede the 
chemical names denote whether the chemical idenity is specific or 
generic.

DATES: Comments identified by the docket control number OPPTS-51979 and 
the specific PMN number, must be received on or before January 7, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail, electronically, or in 
person. Please follow the detailed instructions for each method as 
provided in Unit I. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure proper 
receipt by EPA, it is imperative that you identify docket control 
number OPPTS-51979 and the specific PMN number in the subject line on 
the first page of your response.
