II. Why is EPA Taking this Action?
Section 5 of 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 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 October 20, 2008 through October
31, 2008, consists of the PMNs 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
This status report identifies the PMNs 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 I. to access additional non-
CBI information that may be available.
In Table I of this unit, EPA provides the following information (to
the extent that such information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs
received by EPA during this period: the EPA case number assigned to the
PMN; the date the PMN was received by EPA; the projected end date for
EPA's review of the PMN; the submitting manufacturer; the potential
uses identified by the manufacturer in the PMN; and the chemical
identity.
