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 January 24, 2002 to February 12, 2002, consists of the PMNs 
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. This notice also includes a correction for a PMN from 
March 29, 2000. 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-51984 and 
the specific PMN number, must be received on or before April 18, 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-51984 and the specific PMN number in the subject line on 
the first page of your response.

II. Why is EPA Taking this Action?

    Section 5 of 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 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 January 24, 2002 to February 12, 
2002, consists of the PMNs 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.

III. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs
