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 May 3, 2002 to May 21, 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. 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 OPPT-2002-0028 
and the specific PMN number, must be received on or before August 5, 
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 ID number 
OPPT-2002-0028 and the specific PMN number in the subject line on the 
first page of your response.
