be automatically captured and included
as part of the comment that is placed in
the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact
information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD–ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket
are listed in the docket index available
at https://www.regulations.gov. Although
listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
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 applies directly to the submitter
of the PMNs addressed in this action. If
you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
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 email. 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 as 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 ID
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.
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
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
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.
II. Why is EPA taking this action?
EPA classifies a chemical substance as
either an ‘‘existing chemical’’ or a ‘‘new
chemical.’’ Any chemical substance that
is not on EPA’s TSCA Inventory is
classified as a ‘‘new chemical,’’ while
those that are on the TSCA Inventory
are classified as an ‘‘existing chemical.’’
For more information about the TSCA
Inventory go to: https://www.epa.gov/
opptintr/newchems/pubs/
inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical
substance for a non-exempt commercial
purpose is required by TSCA section 5
to provide EPA with a PMN, before
initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of
TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons,
upon application, to manufacture
(includes import) or process a new
chemical substance, or a chemical
substance subject to a significant new
use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA
section 5(a), for ‘‘test marketing’’
purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more
information about the requirements
applicable to a new chemical go to:
https://www.epa.gov/opt/newchems.
Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and
5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish in
the Federal Register a notice of receipt
of a PMN or an application for a TME
and to publish in the Federal Register
periodic status reports on the new
chemicals under review and the receipt
of NOCs to manufacture those
chemicals. This status report, which
covers the period from February 1, 2012
to February 17, 2012, consists of the
PMNs pending or expired, and the
NOCs to manufacture a new chemical
that the Agency has received under
TSCA section 5 during this time period.
III. Receipt and Status Reports
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/
importer, the potential uses identified
by the manufacturer/importer in the
PMN, and the chemical identity.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2012-0122; FRL-9340-8]
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 Chemical
Substances Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and comply with
the statutory provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new
chemicals. Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a premanufacture
notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing exemption (TME),
and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status reports on the
new chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement
(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. This document, which covers the
period from February 1, 2012 to February 17, 2012, and provides the
required notice and status report, consists of the PMNs pending or
expired, and the NOC 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 April 6, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2012-0122, and the specific PMN number or TME
number for the chemical related to your comment, by one of the
following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Document Control Office (7407M), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001.
Hand Delivery: OPPT Document Control Office (DCO), EPA
East Bldg., Rm. 6428, 1201 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The
DCO is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The telephone number for the DCO is (202) 564-8930.
Such deliveries are only accepted during the DCO's normal hours of
operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of
boxed information.
Instructions: EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included 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
email. The regulations.gov Web site 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 email
comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your
email address will be automatically captured and included as part of
the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available at https://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available
electronically at
[[Page 13597]]
https://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the
OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/
DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of operation are
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room is
(202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is (202)
566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic
identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor
log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and
subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must
be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
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
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.
If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to
a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
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 email. 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 as 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 ID 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.
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 your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest 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.
II. Why is EPA taking this action?
EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing
chemical'' or a ``new chemical.'' Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: https://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/opt/newchems.
Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from February 1, 2012 to February 17, 2012, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new chemical that the
Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.
