ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2006-0434; FRL-8069-1]
Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from April 10, 2006 to April 28, 2006, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a
new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before June 12, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) no. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2006-0434, by one of the following methods.
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Document Control Office (7407M), Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200

identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through regulations.gov your e-mail address will be automatically
captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the
public docket and made available on the Internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be
able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some information
is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available electronically through regulations.gov or in
hard copy at the OPPT Docket, EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West,
Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket

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 submitter of the premanufacture notices
addressed in the action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
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 e-mail. 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 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 submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions - The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at the estimate.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggested alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. Why is EPA Taking this Action?
Section 5 of TSCA requires any person who intends to manufacture

sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to publish a
notice of receipt of a PMN or an application for a TME and to publish
periodic status reports on the chemicals under review and the receipt
of notices of commencement to manufacture those chemicals. This status
report, which covers the period from April 10, 2006 to April 28, 2006,
consists of the PMNs pending or expired, and the notices of
commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received
under TSCA section 5 during this time period.
III. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs
This status report identifies the PMNs pending or expired, and the
notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency
has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period. If you are
interested in information that is not included in the following tables,
you may contact EPA as described in Unit II. to access additional non-
CBI information that may be available.
In Table I of this unit, EPA provides the following information (to
the extent that such 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; the potential
uses identified by the manufacturer in the PMN; and the chemical
identity.
