ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[OPPTS-40026; FRL-4759-6]
Conditional Exemptions from TSCA Section 4 Test Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is granting conditional exemptions from Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) section 4 test rule requirements to certain
manufacturers of chemical substances subject to these rules.
DATES: These conditional exemptions are effective on February 18, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director,
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-543B, 401
M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 554-1404, TDD (202) 554-0551.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice grants conditional exemptions
from TSCA section 4 test rule requirements to all manufacturers of the
chemical substances identified below who submitted exemption
applications in accordance with 40 CFR 790.80. In each case, EPA has
received a letter of intent to conduct the testing from which exemption
is sought. Accordingly, the Agency has conditionally approved these
exemption applications because the conditions set out in 40 CFR 790.87
have been met. All conditional exemptions thus granted are contingent
upon successful completion of testing and submission of data by the
test sponsors according to the requirements of the applicable test
rule.
If the test requirements are not met and EPA terminates a
conditional exemption under 40 CFR 790.93, the Agency will notify each
holder of an affected conditional exemption by certified mail or
Federal Register notice.
This conditional approval applies to all manufacturers which
submitted exemption applications for testing of the chemical substances
named in the final test rules listed below from January 1, 1993 through
December 31, 1993.
