SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes EPA to
exempt persons from premanufacture notification (PMN) requirements and
permit them to manufacture or import new chemical substances for test
marketing purposes if the Agency finds that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the
substances for test marketing purposes will not present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment. EPA may impose
restrictions on test marketing activities and may modify or revoke a
test marketing exemption upon receipt of new information which casts
significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activity will
not present an unreasonable risk of injury.
EPA hereby approves the modifications of the test marketing period,
production volume, and number of customers for TME-91-25. EPA has
determined that test marketing of the new chemical substance described
below, under the conditions set out in the TME applications and
modification requests, and for the modified time periods specified
below, will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment. Production volume, use, and the number of customers
must not exceed that specified in the application. All other conditions
and restrictions described in the original Notice of Approval of Test
Marketing Application must be met.
TME-91-25

The Agency reserves the right to rescind approval or modify the

the test marketing activities will not present any unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment.
