Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is required under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
to publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN); an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), both pending and/or expired; and a periodic status
report on any new chemicals under EPA review and the receipt of notices
of commencement (NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. This document
covers the period from March 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before May 22, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2015-0183, and the specific PMN number or TME
number for the chemical related to your comment, by one of the
following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Do not submit
electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, 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 claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes 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.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at
[[Page 22513]]
http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from March 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015, and consists of the PMNs
and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new
chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this
time period.
III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 5 of TSCA requires that EPA periodical publish in the
Federal Register receipt and status reports, which cover the following
EPA activities required by provisions of TSCA section 5.
EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing''
chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.
IV. Receipt and Status Reports
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/importer, the
potential uses identified by the manufacturer/importer in the PMN, and
the chemical identity.
