• The chemical substance or
significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment;
• The information available to EPA is
insufficient to permit a reasoned
evaluation of the health and
environmental effects of the chemical
substance or significant new use;
• The information available to EPA is
insufficient to permit a reasoned
evaluation of the health and
environmental effects and the chemical

conditions of use. The term ‘‘conditions
of use’’ is defined in TSCA section 3 to
mean ‘‘the circumstances, as determined
by the Administrator, under which a
chemical substance is intended, known,
or reasonably foreseen to be
manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.’’
EPA is required under TSCA section
5(g) to publish in the Federal Register
a statement of its findings after its
review of a TSCA section 5(a) notice
when EPA makes a finding that a new
chemical substance or significant new
use is not likely to present an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment. Such statements apply
to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs
submitted to EPA under TSCA section
5.
Anyone who plans to manufacture
(which includes import) a new chemical
substance for a non-exempt commercial
purpose and any manufacturer or
processor wishing to engage in a use of
a chemical substance designated by EPA
as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before
commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging
in the significant new use.

II. What action is the Agency taking?
This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from April 1, 2019 to April 30, 2019.
III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
[[Page 33936]]
The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of a TSCA section
5(a) notice when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs,
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging in the significant new use.
The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.
IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)
In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the
new chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment:
EPA case number assigned to the TSCA section 5(a) notice.
Chemical identity (generic name, if the specific name is
claimed as CBI).
Website link to EPA's decision document describing the
basis of the ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk'' finding
made by EPA under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C).
