ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Certain Chemicals; Premanufacture Notices
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture or import a new chemical to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture or import of substances not on the TSCA Inventory. Section
5 of TSCA also requires EPA to publish receipt and status information
in the Federal Register each month reporting premanufacture notices
(PMN) and test marketing exemption (TME) application requests received,
both pending and expired. The information in this document contains
notices received from May 20, to May 31, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments, identified by the document control number
``[OPPTS-51910]'' and the specific PMN number, if appropriate, should
be sent to: Document Control Office (7407), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,
Rm. ETG-099 Washington, DC 20460.
Comments and data may also be submitted electronically by sending
electronic mail (e-mail) to: oppt.ncic@epamail.epa.gov. Electronic
comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the use of special
characters and any form of encryption. Comments and data will also be
accepted on disks in WordPerfect in 5.1/6.1 file format or ASCII file
format. All comments and data in electronic form must be identified by
the docket number [OPPTS-51910]. No Confidential Business Information
(CBI) should be submitted through e-mail. Electronic comments on this
notice may be filed online at many Federal Depository Libraries.
Additional information on electronic submissions can be found under
``SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION'' of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan B. Hazen, Director,
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. E-531, 401
M St., SW., Washington, DC, 20460, (202) 554-1404, TDD (202) 554-0551;
e-mail: TSCA-Hotline@epamail.epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of TSCA, EPA is
required to publish notice of receipt and status reports of chemicals
subject to section 5 reporting requirements. The notice requirements
are provided in TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3). Specifically, EPA is
required to provide notice of receipt of PMNs and TME application
requests received. EPA also is required to identify those chemical
submissions for which data has been received, the uses or intended uses
of such chemicals, and the nature of any test data which may have been
developed. Lastly, EPA is required to provide periodic status reports
of all chemical substances undergoing review and receipt of notices of
commencement.
A record has been established for this notice under docket number
``[OPPTS-51910]'' (including comments and data submitted electronically
as described below). A public version of this record, including
printed, paper versions of electronic comments, which does not include
any information claimed as CBI, is available for inspection from 12
noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
public record is located in the TSCA Nonconfidential Information Center
(NCIC), Rm. NEM-B607, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
Electronic comments can be sent directly to EPA at:
oppt.ncic@epamail.epa.gov
Electronic comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the
use of special characters and any form of encryption.
The official record for this notice, as well as the public version,
as described above will be kept in paper form. Accordingly, EPA will
transfer all comments received electronically into printed, paper form
as they are received and will place the paper copies in the official
record which will also include all comments submitted directly in
writing. The official record is the paper record maintained at the
address in ``ADDRESSES'' at the beginning of this document.
In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of section 5 filings received, pending or expired, as well as
notices reflecting receipt of notices of commencement. In an effort to
become more responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources, and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is consolidating these separate notices into one
comprehensive notice that will be issued at regular intervals.
In this notice, EPA shall provide a consolidated report in the
Federal Register reflecting the dates PMN requests were received, the
projected notice end date, the manufacturer or importer identity, to
the extent that such information is not claimed as confidential and
chemical identity, either specific or generic depending on whether
chemical identity has been claimed confidential. Additionally, in this
same report, EPA shall provide a listing of receipt of new notices of
commencement.
EPA believes the new format of the notice will be easier to
understand by the interested public, and provides the information that
is of greatest interest to
[[Page 46377]]
the public users. Certain information provided in the earlier notices
will not be provided under the new format. The status reports of
substances under review, potential production volume, and summaries of
health and safety data will not be provided in the new notices.
EPA is not providing production volume information in the
consolidated notice since such information is generally claimed as
confidential. For this reason, there is no substantive loss to the
public in not publishing the data. Health and safety data are not
summarized in the notice since it is recognized as impossible, given
the format of this notice, as well as the previous style of notices, to
provide meaningful information on the subject. In those submissions
where health and safety data were received by the Agency, a footnote is
included by the Manufacturer/Importer identity to indicate its
existence. As stated below, interested persons may contact EPA directly
to secure information on such studies.
For persons who are interested in data not included in this notice,
access can be secured at EPA Headquarters in the NCIC at the address
provided above. Additionally, interested parties may telephone the
Document Control Office at (202) 260-1532, TDD (202) 554-0551, for
generic use information, health and safety data not claimed as
confidential or status reports on section 5 filings.
Send all comments to the address listed above. All comments
received will be reviewed and appropriate amendments will be made as
deemed necessary.
This notice will identify: (I) PMNs received; and (II) Notices of
Commencement to manufacture/import.
