A. Does this action apply to me?
This action provides information that
is directed to the public in general.
B. What action is the Agency taking?
This document lists the statements of
findings made by EPA after review of
submissions 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
reporting period.
C. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to
review a submission under TSCA
section 5(a) and make one of the
following specific findings:
• 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.
Under TSCA, the unreasonable risk
findings must be made without
consideration of costs or other non-risk
factors, including an unreasonable risk

Sfmt 4703
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.’’
TSCA section 5(g) requires EPA to
publish in the Federal Register a
statement of its findings after its review
of a submission under TSCA section
5(a) 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.
II. Statements of 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:
The following list provides the EPA
case number assigned to the TSCA
section 5(a) submission and the
chemical identity (generic name if the
specific name is claimed as CBI).
• J–22–0012, J–22–0013, Genetically
modified microorganism for the
production of a chemical substance
(Generic Name).
