Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 198 / Friday, October 13, 2006 / Notices
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 September 11,
2006 to September 15, 2006, consists of
the PMNs and TME 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.
DATES: Comments identified by the
specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before November

Board must take into account factors
such as the Bank member’s performance
under the Community Reinvestment Act
of 1977 (CRA), 12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.,
and record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. See 12 U.S.C. 1430(g)(2).
Pursuant to section 10(g) of the Bank
Act, the Finance Board has promulgated
a community support requirements
regulation that establishes standards a
Bank member must meet in order to
maintain access to long-term advances,
and review criteria the Finance Board
must apply in evaluating a member’s
community support performance. See
12 CFR part 944. The regulation
includes standards and criteria for the
two statutory factors—CRA performance
and record of lending to first-time
homebuyers. 12 CFR 944.3. Only
members subject to the CRA must meet
the CRA standard. 12 CFR 944.3(b). All
members, including those not subject to
CRA, must meet the first-time
homebuyer standard. 12 CFR 944.3(c).
Under the rule, the Finance Board
selects approximately one-eighth of the
members in each Bank district for
community support review each
calendar quarter. 12 CFR 944.2(a). The
Finance Board will not review an
institution’s community support
performance until it has been a Bank
member for at least one year. Selection
for review is not, nor should it be
construed as, any indication of either
the financial condition or the
community support performance of the
member.
Each Bank member selected for
review must complete a Community
Support Statement and submit it to the
Finance Board by the November 24,
2006 deadline prescribed in this notice.
12 CFR 944.2(b)(1)(ii) and (c). On or
before October 27, 2006, each Bank will
notify the members in its district that
have been selected for the 2006–07 third
quarter community support review
cycle that they must complete and
submit to the Finance Board by the
deadline a Community Support
Statement. 12 CFR 944.2(b)(2)(i). The
member’s Bank will provide a blank
Community Support Statement Form,
which also is available on the Finance
Board’s Web site: WWW.FHFB.GOV.
Upon request, the member’s Bank also
will provide assistance in completing
the Community Support Statement.
The Finance Board has selected the

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed CBI). In addition to one complete
version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy
of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so
marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set
forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions - The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
[[Page 60519]]
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at the estimate.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggested alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

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 September 11, 2006, to September
15, 2006, consists of the PMNs and TME 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.
III. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs and TME
This status report identifies the PMNs pending or expired, and the
notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency
