Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
TSCA, 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 April 1, to April 30, 1999, consists of the PMNs and TMEs,
both 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Augustyniak, Associate
Director, Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution

not on
[[Page 31856]]
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 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 April 1, to April 30, 1999,
consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the
noticesof commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency
has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.
IV. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs and TMEs
This status report identifies the PMNs and TMEs, both 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 above
