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 
TSC, 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 December 1, 
2003 to December 24, 2003, 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.

[[Page 3345]]

 Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is 
restricted by statute, which is not included in the official public 
docket, will not be available for public viewing in EPA's electronic 
public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material will not be 
placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in 
printed, paper form in the official public docket. To the extent 
feasible, publicly available docket materials will be made available in 
EPA's electronic public docket. When a document is selected from the 
index list in EPA Dockets, the system will identify whether the 
document is available for viewing in EPA's electronic public docket. 
Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you 
may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through 
the docket facility identified in Unit I.B.1. EPA intends to work 
towards providing electronic access to all of the publicly available 
docket materials through EPA's electronic public docket.
    For public commenters, it is important to note that EPA's policy is 
that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, 
will be made available for public viewing in EPA's electronic public 
docket as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment 
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment 
containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that 
material in the version of the comment that is placed in EPA's 
electronic public docket. The entire printed comment, including the 
copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket.
    Public comments submitted on computer disks that are mailed or 
delivered to the docket will be transferred to EPA's electronic public 
docket. Public comments that are mailed or delivered to the docket will 
be scanned and placed in EPA's electronic public docket. Where 
practical, physical objects will be photographed, and the photograph 
will be placed in EPA's electronic public docket along with a brief 
description written by the docket staff.

C. How and To Whom Do I Submit Comments?

    You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand 
delivery/courier. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the 
appropriate docket ID number and specific PMN number or TME number in 
the subject line on the first page of your comment. Please ensure that 
your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. 
Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked 
``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late comments. If you 
wish to submit CBI or information that is otherwise protected by 
statute, please follow the instructions in Unit I.D. Do not use EPA 
Dockets or e-mail to submit CBI or information protected by statute.
    1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as 
prescribed in this unit, EPA recommends that you include your name, 
mailing address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in 
the body of your comment. Also include this contact information on the 
outside of any disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter 
accompanying the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be 
identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact 
you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties 
or needs further information on the substance of your comment. EPA's 
policy is that EPA will not edit your comment, and any identifying or 
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included 
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, 
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot 
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you 
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to 
submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for 
receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments. 
Once in the system, select ``search,'' and then key in docket ID number 
OPPT-2003-0004. The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which 
means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact 
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
    ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by e-mail to [email protected], 
Attention: Docket ID Number OPPT-2003-0004 and PMN Number or TME 
Number. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail 
system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an e-mail 
comment directly to the docket without going through EPA's electronic 
public docket, EPA's e-mail system automatically captures your e-mail 
address. E-mail addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e-
mail system are included as part of the comment that is placed in the 
official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public 
docket.
    iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM 
that you mail to the mailing address identified in Unit I.C.2. These 
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file 
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
    2. By mail. Send your comments to: Document Control Office (7407M), 
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental 
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-
0001.
    3. By hand delivery or courier. Deliver your comments to: OPPT 
Document Control Office (DCO) in EPA East Bldg., Rm. 6428, 1201 
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. Attention: Docket ID Number 
OPPT-2003-0004 and PMN Number or TME Number. The DCO is open from 8 
a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The 
telephone number for the DCO is (202) 564-8930.

D. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency?

    Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI 
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail. You 
may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part 
or all of that information as CBI (if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, 
mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify 
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that 
is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in 
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes 
any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not 
contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion 
in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit 
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside 
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information 
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's 
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any 
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult 
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

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 December 1, 2003 to December 24, 
2003, 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

    This status report identifies 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. If you are 
interested in information that is not included in the following tables, 
you may contact EPA as described in Unit II. to access additional non-
CBI information that may be available.
    In Table I of this unit, 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.
