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 3, 2016 to October 31,
2016, 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
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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,
please 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 36 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.

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 3, 2016 to October 31, 2016, 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, please 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 36 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.
