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 November 3,
2008 through November 14, 2008,

alpha-esterase. The systematic name is aryl-ester hydrolase. Arylesterases
act on many phenolic esters. It is likely that the three forms of human
paraoxonase are lactonases rather than aromatic esterases [7,8]. The natural

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 November 3, 2008 through November 14, 2008, consists of the
PMNs 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 January 12, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0865, by one of the following methods:

in the docket without change and may be made available on-line at
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the

using the enzyme
classification number for
this enzyme. arylesterase
(EC 3.1.1.2) is
referenced in the Brenda
Comprehensive Enzyme
Information System and in
the expasy enzyme
database. Synonyms are
paraoxonase and alpha-
esterase. The systematic
name is aryl-ester
hydrolase. Arylesterases
act on many phenolic
esters. It is likely that
the three forms of human
paraoxonase are
lactonases rather than
aromatic esterases [7,8].
The natural substrates of
the paraoxonases are
lactones, with ()-5-
hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,4Z-
eicostetraenoic-acid 1,5-
lactone being the best
