Sec. 720.22  Persons who must report.


    (a)(1) Any person who intends to manufacture a new chemical 
substance in the United States for commercial purposes must submit a 
notice unless the substance is excluded under Sec. 720.30.
    (2) If a person contracts with a manufacturer to manufacture or 
produce a new chemical substance, and (i) the manufacturer manufactures 
or produces the substance exclusively for that person, and (ii) that 
person specifies the identity of the substance, and controls the total 
amount produced and the basic technology for the plant process, that 
person must submit the notice. If it is unclear who must report, EPA 
should be contacted to determine who must submit the notice.
    (3) Only manufacturers that are incorporated, licensed, or doing 
business in the United States may submit a notice.
    (b)(1) Any person who intends to import a new chemical substance 
into the United States for commercial purposes must submit a notice, 
unless the substance is excluded under Sec. 720.30 or unless the 
substance is imported as part of an article.
    (2) When several persons are involved in an import transaction, the 
notice must be submitted by the principal importer. If no one person 
fits the principal importer definition in a particular transaction, the 
importer should contact EPA to determine who must submit the notice for 
that transaction.
