SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
What action is the Agency taking?
This document provides the receipt
and status reports for the period from
02/01/2022 to 02/28/2022. The Agency
is providing notice of receipt of PMNs,
SNUNs and MCANs (including
amended notices and test information);
an exemption application under 40 CFR
part 725 (Biotech exemption); TMEs,
both pending and/or concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical
substance; and a periodic status report
on new chemical substances that are
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:38 Mar 16, 2022
Jkt 256001
currently under EPA review or have
recently concluded review.
EPA is also providing information on
its website about cases reviewed under
the amended TSCA, including the
section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and
exemption notices received, the date of
receipt, the final EPA determination on
the notice, and the effective date of
EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/
MCAN notices on its website at: https://
www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/
status-pre-manufacture-notices. This
information is updated on a weekly
basis.
B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Under the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a
chemical substance may be either an
‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a
‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA’s
TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances
(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new
chemical substance,’’ while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA
Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing
chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section
3(11).) For more information about the
TSCA Inventory please go to: https://
www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
Any person who intends to
manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose, or to manufacture
or process a chemical substance in a
non-exempt manner for a use that EPA
has determined is a significant new use,
is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or
SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating
the activity. EPA will review the notice,
make a risk determination on the
chemical substance or significant new
use, and take appropriate action as
described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA
to allow persons, upon application and
under appropriate restrictions, to
manufacture or process a new chemical
substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule
(SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes,
upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce,
use, and disposal of the chemical will
not present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment.
This 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 and 8 and
EPA regulations, EPA is required to
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
publish in the Federal Register certain
information, including notice of receipt
of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including
amended notices and test information);
an exemption application under 40 CFR
part 725 (biotech exemption); an
application for a TME, both pending
and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic
status report on the new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA
review or have recently concluded
review.
C. Does this action apply to me?
This action provides information that
is directed to the public in general.
D. Does this action have any
incremental economic impacts or
paperwork burdens?
No.
E. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting confidential business
information (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.
I. Status Reports
In the past, EPA has published
individual notices reflecting the status
of TSCA section 5 filings received,
pending or concluded. In 1995, the
Agency modified its approach and
streamlined the information published
in the Federal Register after providing
notice of such changes to the public and
an opportunity to comment (See the
Federal Register of May 12, 1995, (60
FR 25798) (FRL–4942–7). Since the
passage of the Lautenberg amendments
to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5
cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of
E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM
17MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2022 / Notices
such cases, has increased. In an effort to
be responsive to the regulated
community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to
comply with the requirements of TSCA,
to conserve EPA resources and to
streamline the process and make it more
timely, EPA is providing information on
its website about cases reviewed under
the amended TSCA, including the
section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and
exemption notices received, the date of
receipt, the final EPA determination on
the notice, and the effective date of
EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/
MCAN notices on its website at: https://
www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/
status-pre-manufacture-notices. This
information is updated on a weekly
basis.
III. Receipt Reports
For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that
have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the
following information (to the extent that
such information is not subject to a CBI
claim) on the notices screened by EPA
during this period: The EPA case
number assigned to the notice that
indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a
notation of which version was received,
the date the notice was received by EPA,
the submitting manufacturer (i.e.,
domestic producer or importer), the
potential uses identified by the
manufacturer in the notice, and the
chemical substance identity.
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)
15239
indicates that this information in the
table is generic information because the
specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI.
Submissions which are initial
submissions will not have a letter
following the case number. Submissions
which are amendments to previous
submissions will have a case number
followed by the letter ‘‘A’’ (e.g., P–18–
1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ‘‘1’’, ‘‘2’’,
‘‘3’’, etc. Note that in some cases, an
initial submission is not numbered as
version 1; this is because earlier
version(s) were rejected as incomplete
or invalid submissions. Note also that
future versions of the following tables
may adjust slightly as the Agency works
to automate population of the data in
the tables.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
What action is the Agency taking?
This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 02/01/2022 to 02/28/2022. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory)
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate,
before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk
determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and
take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This 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 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.
C. Does this action apply to me?
This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.
D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?
No.
E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting confidential business information (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.
I. Status Reports
In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal
Register of May 12, 1995, (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of
[[Page 15239]]
such cases, has increased. In an effort to be responsive to the
regulated community, the users of this information, and the general
public, to comply with the requirements of TSCA, to conserve EPA
resources and to streamline the process and make it more timely, EPA is
providing information on its website about cases reviewed under the
amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and exemption
notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA determination on
the notice, and the effective date of EPA's determination for PMN/SNUN/
MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a weekly basis.
III. Receipt Reports
For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses
identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical
substance identity.
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 this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.
