result of a prenotice agreement with EPA.
    Consolidated premanufacture notice or consolidated PMN means any PMN 
submitted to EPA that covers more than one chemical substance (each

agreement with EPA (See 48 FR 21734).
    Exemption application means any application submitted to EPA under 
section 5(h)(2) of the Act.
    Exemption notice means any notice submitted to EPA under 
Sec. 723.175 of this chapter.
    Final product means a new chemical substance (as ``new chemical

    Intermediate premanufacture notice or intermediate PMN means any PMN
