SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:08 Dec 14, 2015 Jkt 238001 For technical information contact: Jim Rahai, IMD (7407M), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001; telephone number: (202) 564–8593; email address: rahai.jim@epa.gov. For general information contact: The TSCA-Hotline, ABVI-Goodwill, 422 South Clinton Ave., Rochester, NY 14620; telephone number: (202) 554– 1404; email address: TSCA-Hotline@ epa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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 submitters of the actions addressed in this document. 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 preparing and submitting your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ comments.html. II. What action is the agency taking? This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the period from October 1, 2015 to October 30, 2015, and consists of the PMNs and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period. PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 III. What is the agency’s authority for taking this action? Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., 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/oppt/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 reports on the status of new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to manufacture those chemicals. IV. Receipt and Status Reports As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the information in the table is the specific information provided by the submitter, and (G) indicates that the information in the table is generic information because the specific information provided by the submitter was claimed as CBI. For the 47 PMNs received by EPA during this period, Table 1 provides the following information (to the extent that such information is not claimed as CBI): 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.

exemption (TME), both pending and/or expired; and a periodic status
report on any new chemicals under EPA review and the receipt of notices
of commencement (NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. This document
covers the period from October 1, 2015 to October 30, 2015.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific case number provided in this

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 submitters of the actions addressed in this
document.

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 preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the agency taking?

This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from October 1, 2015 to October 30, 2015, and consists of the
PMNs and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

III. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., 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/oppt/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 reports on
the status of new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.

IV. Receipt and Status Reports

As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that the information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI.
For the 47 PMNs received by EPA during this period, Table 1
provides the following information (to the extent that such information
is not claimed as CBI): 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.
