AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0613; FRL–9360–1] 

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and 

Status Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: 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 Chemical Substances Inventory 

(TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and 

comply with the statutory provisions 

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. In addition under TSCA, 

EPA is required to publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish in the 

Federal Register periodic status reports 

on the new chemicals under review and 

the receipt of notices of commencement 

(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. 

This document, which covers the period 

from July 23, 2012 to August 03, 2012, 

and provides the required notice and 

status report, consists of the PMNs and 

TMEs, both pending or expired, and the 

NOC 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 

September 28, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0613, 

and the specific PMN number or TME 

number for the chemical related to your 

comment, by one of the following

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the comment that is placed in 

the 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 docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available electronically at 

http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the OPPT

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 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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

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 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

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? 

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 nonexempt 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://ww.epa.gov/opt/

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. This status report, which 

covers the period from July 23, 2012 to 

August 03, 2012, consists of the PMNs 

pending or expired, and the NOCs to 

manufacture a new chemical that the 

Agency has received under TSCA 

section 5 during this time period.
