II. Test Data Submissions

    Section 4(d) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2603(d)) requires EPA to publish a 
notice in the Federal Register reporting the receipt of test data 
submitted pursuant to test rules promulgated under section 4(a) (15 
U.S.C. 2603(a)). Each notice must:
    1. Identify the chemical substance or mixture for which data have 
been received.
    2. List the uses or intended uses of such chemical substance or 
mixture and the information required by the applicable standards for 
the development of test data.
    3. Describe the nature of the test data developed. EPA has received 
test data for the following test rule:
    EPA received data on three chemical substances listed in the TSCA 
section 4 test rule entitled ``Testing for Certain High Production 
Volume Chemicals; Third Group of Chemicals,'' published in the Federal 
Register of October 21, 2011 (76 FR 65385) (FRL-8885-5) (docket ID 
number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0112).
    The table in this unit contains the described information required 
by TSCA section 4(d). See the applicable CFR citation, listed in the 
title of the table, for test data requirements. Data received can be 
found by referencing the docket ID number and document numbers listed 
in the table. See Unit I.B. for additional information about dockets. 
EPA reviews of test data are added to the appropriate docket upon 
completion.
