Sec. 720.102  Notice of commencement of manufacture or import.


    (a) Applicability. Any person who commences the manufacture or 
import of a new chemical substance for a nonexempt commercial purpose 
for which that person previously submitted a section 5(a) notice under 
this part must submit a notice of commencement of manufacture or import.
    (b) When to report. (1) If manufacture or import for commercial 
purposes begins on or after the effective date of this rule, the 
submitter must submit the notice to EPA on, or no later than 30 calendar 
days, after the first day of such manufacture or import.
    (2) If manufacture or import for commercial purposes began or will 
begin before the effective date of this rule, the submitter must submit 
the notice by the effective date of this rule.
    (c) Information to be reported on form. (1) The notice must be 
submitted on EPA (Form 7710-56), which is available from the 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., 
NW., Washington, DC 20460. The form must be signed and dated by an 
authorized official. All information specified on the form must be 
provided. The notice must contain the following information:
    (i) The specific chemical identity of the PMN substance.
    (ii) A generic chemical name (if the chemical identity is claimed as 
confidential by the submitter).
    (iii) The premanufacture notice (PMN) number assigned by EPA.
    (iv) The date of commencement for the submitter's manufacture or 
import for a non-exempt commercial purpose (indicating whether the 
substance was initially manufactured in the United States or imported). 
The date of commencement is the date of completion of non-exempt 
manufacture of the first amount (batch, drum, etc.) of new chemical 
substance identified in the submitter's PMN. For importers, the date of 
commencement is the date the new chemical substance clears United States 
customs.

identity, and/or other information are claimed as confidential by the 
submitter.

wants the identity to be listed on the confidential portion of the 
Inventory, the claim must be reasserted and substantiated in accordance 
with Sec. 720.85(b). Otherwise, EPA will list the specific chemical 
identity on the public Inventory. Submitters who did not claim the 
chemical identity, submitter identity, or other information to be

the notice of commencement.
