### 4 Create Joint/Letter of Support PMN Form Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non - exempt commercial purpose is required by Section 5 of TSCA to provide EPA with notice before initiating the activity, known as a PMN form . This PMN must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the manufacture or import of the chemical. The PMN j oint process will be a multistep process with coordination needed on the parts of Secondary AOs and Secondary Agents/Consultants . The Primary AO will first identify that a Joint S ubmission and/ or Letter of Support (s) will supplement the original PMN form . Based on the selection, the ‘Joint Submission’ folder and/or ‘Letter of Support’ folder will generate in the navigation tree . Each folder will contain a section for the Primary AO to enter contact information and instruction information with the Joint and/ or Letter of Support unique identification number . When the Primary AO accesses the relevant ‘Joint’ or ‘Letter of Support’ folder in the original PMN form , the Primary AO will enter the Secondary Agent/Consultant ’s contact information on the ‘Letter of S upport Submitter I nformation’ screen , or the ‘Joint Submitter Information’ screen . The email address entered on this screen will be used to send the Secondary Agent/Consultant the unique identification number via an un - encry pted email sent by

the Primary

A O . The next screen in the ‘Joint’ or ‘Letter of Support’ folder will display the unique identification number that will be sent to the Secondary A gent/Consultant by the Primary AO and a text box for the Primary AO to provide instructions or information to the Secondary AO about what is to be filed.

Secondary Agent/Consultant 77 The ‘ Physical and Chemical Properties Worksheet’ screen is used to capture optional information about a chemical’s properties. The chemical properties are used by EPA to determine additional safety data about a chemical. The properties are used to determine potential risks and exposures of the chemicals . The properties for a chemical are captured in an expandable/collapsible field set format. The following categories may apply to a chemical: ‘Physical state of a neat substance,’ ‘Vapor Pressure @ temperature,’ ‘ Density /relative density ,’ ‘ Solubility @ te mperature ___ solvent ___ ,’ ‘ Solubi lity

in water @ temperature ___,’ ‘ Melting temperature ,’ ‘ Boiling/sublimation temperature @ ____ torr pressure ,’ ‘ Spectra ,’ ‘ Dissociation constant ,’ ‘ Particle size distribution ,’ ‘ Octanol/water partition coefficient ,’ ‘ Henry ’s Law constant ,’ ‘Volatilization from water ,’ ‘Volatilization from soil ,’ ‘ pH @ concentration ___ ,’ ‘ Flammability ,’ ‘ Explodability ,’ and ‘Absorption/coefficient.’ All of the properties will capture the relevant values for a chemical. Each property may be claimed individually as CBI. To enter phys ical/chemical property information, select a phys ical/chemical property from the drop - down menu and click the ‘Add Propert y’ button. The expandable/collapsible field set will expand and display

all the fields t hat should be entered for that propert y. You are then able to enter all relevant information regarding that property. Value fields are able to accept ‘<’ or ‘>’ sy mbols. When all information is entered, click the ‘Save’ button. Each property may only be entered once per chemical. You may also enter an option for ‘Other.’ The ‘Other’ option will allow y ou to enter a user specified property and any relevant values. The property will capture the relevant values for the chemical and the property measurement can be identified as ‘Measured’ or ‘Estimated.’ The ‘Other’ option may

be claimed individually

as CBI. You may

enter multiple properties as ‘Other.’ You may upload attachments for the chemical properties on the ‘Physical and Chemical Properties Worksheet

– Continued (Optional)’ screen . EPA’s risk assessment process does utilize physiochemical properties, as some of the attributes listed here can relate directly to chemical risks. Among the most useful parameters of a new substance to EPA are the boiling po int, the melting point, vapor pressure, the octanol/water partition coefficient, water solubility, Henry ’s Law Constant, hydrol ys is, spectral data (Mass Spectrometry

(MS), proton and C13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Infrared (I R), and Ultraviolet (UV) absorption), and the soil/sediment absorption coefficient. In the absence of this data, EPA will estimate to the extent possible phy siochemical data to aid in their risk evaluations. Indicate whether the value y ou provide is based on an actual test measu rement (Measured) or was estimated (Estimated). Note that EPA staffers indicate that data qualifiers such as ‘negligible’ or ‘soluble’ are not useful descriptions. You are not required to generate the listed test data if you do not have it. Physical/chem ical properties data may be so unique that they

could in the future link the PMN substance to a commercial product or may tend to identify

unique classes of chemical substance, and therefore some data elements may represent confidential business informatio n. Review the CBI status of each entry

carefully, and avoid making unsupportable claims.OPPT MTS Section 5 Notices and Supports User Guide September 20, 2013

Click the ‘Delete ’ icon ( ) located within the ‘Actions’ column to delete unwanted documents. You may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding y our efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use, and disposal of the PMN substance. Include new information p ertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recy cling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity

of chemical wastes b y technolo gical modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, and/or raw materials substitution. Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. Quantitative or qualitative descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and recy cling should emphasize potential risk reduction in addition to compliance with existing regulatory requirements. EPA is intereste d in the information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting of risks to other media (e.g., air to water) or non - environmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). To the extent kno wn, information about the technology

being replaced will assist EPA in its relative risk determination. I n addition, information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may

be provided. Describe the expected net benefits, such as: (1) An overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment; (2) A reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means; (3) A reduction in the use of hazardous starting material s, reagents, or feedstocks; (4) A reduction in potential toxicity, human exposure and/or environmental release; orOPPT MTS Section 5 Notices and Supports User Guide September 20, 2013

Secondary Agent/Consultant 117 (5) The extent to which the new chemical substance may be a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk to human health or the environment. EPA strongl y encourages submitters to provide pollution prevention data in their notices, as this information assists the agency in balancing the benefits of a PMN substance against its unique risks. While Agency

staffers frequently

receive information on the benefits of the PMN substance with respect to its use(s), data on pollution prevention effects are rarely included. This section should be utilized to indicate to EPA benefits in terms of the raw materials incorporated, the manufacturing process, emission reductions, less toxic waste byproducts, or lower risks upon end use and disposal. You should consider the entire life cy cle of the PMN substance in y our evaluation. Also consider opportunities for product stewardship or other risk management controls that could significantly reduce risk characteristics of the new substance (e.g., disposal techniques that can be easily implemented and substantially reduce waste toxicity

). Initiatives in the New Chemicals Program such as Environmental Technology Initiative (ETI) for Chemicals, and the Pollution Prevention Recognition Project, are geared towa rds incorporating this ty pe of information into the Agency ’s risk management decision making and recognizing innovative chemical design or technological innovation that shows potential for environmental and human health benefits. Describe any pollution pr evention benefits here, and indicate if this information is confidential business information. Attempt to quantify the expected benefits to the extent possible and avoid exaggeration and highly

speculative statements. The following questions can be used to assess pollution prevention benefits: (1) Are there pollution prevention benefits associated with the new PMN chemical? (2) Does it allow reduction of elimination of (more) toxic solvents? (3) Does it reduce disposal to land, or in safer forms, compared to the che mistry it replaces? (4) Can it be recycled more easily than existing materials? (5) Does your manufacturing process eliminate or reduce the use/release of hazardous substances?  **Please click here**  **to review additional information that should be included on this pa ge:**  Clicking the link displays additional information regarding the pollution information.  **Check here to claim this information as CBI:** Check the ‘Check here to claim this information as CBI’ checkbox to claim the pollution prevention information as confid ential.  **Attach Document:** Click the ‘Attach Document’ button to generate the ‘Attach Documents’ pop - up window.
