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 the
Toxic Substances Control Act (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 August 1, 1999 to August 13, 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.
