notices of commencement (NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. This document

covers the period from May 1, 2015 to May 29, 2015.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number, must be received on

or before [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-

OPPT-2015-0183, and the specific PMN number or TME number for the chemical related to your

comment, by one of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

instructions for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information you

consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is

restricted by statute.

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. Although others may be affected,

this action applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.

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 http://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 May 1,

2015 to May 29, 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?

mailto:[email protected]

mailto:[email protected]

Section 5 of TSCA requires that EPA periodical publish in the Federal Register receipt

and status reports, which cover the following EPA activities required by provisions of TSCA

section 5.

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:

http://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: http://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 status reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to

manufacture those chemicals.

IV. Receipt and Status Reports

information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs received by EPA during this period: 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.
