V. What Should I Consider as I Prepare

My Comments for EPA?

You may find the following

suggestions helpful for preparing your

comments:

1. Explain your views as clearly as

possible.

2. Describe any assumptions that you

used.

3. Provide copies of any technical

information and/or data you used that

support your views.

4. If you estimate potential burden or

costs, explain how you arrived at the

estimate that you provide.

5. Provide specific examples to

illustrate your concerns.

6. Offer alternative ways to improve

the proposed rule or collection activity.

7. Make sure to submit your

comments by the deadline in this

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,

be sure to identify the docket control

number assigned to this action in the

subject line on the first page of your

response. You may also provide the

name, date, and Federal Register

citation.

VI. What is the Agency’s Authority for

Taking this Action?

Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR

720.38 authorize EPA to exempt persons

from premanufacture notification (PMN)

requirements and permit them to

manufacture or import new chemical

substances for test marketing purposes,

if the Agency finds that the

manufacture, processing, distribution in

commerce, use, and disposal of the

substances for test marketing purposes

will not present an unreasonable risk of

injury to health or the environment.

EPA may impose restrictions on test

marketing activities and may modify or

revoke a test marketing exemption upon

receipt of new information which casts

significant doubt on its finding that the

test marketing activity will not present

an unreasonable risk of injury.

VII. What Action is the Agency Taking?

EPA has approved the abovereferenced TME. EPA has determined

that test marketing the new chemical

substance, under the conditions set out

in the TME application and in this

notice, will not present any

unreasonable risk of injury to health or

the environment.

VIII. What Restrictions Apply to this

TME?

All conditions and restrictions

described in the TME application and in

this notice must be met. The test market

time period, production volume,

number of customers, and use must not

exceed specifications in the application

and this notice. A bill of lading

accompanying each shipment must state

that the use of the substance is restricted

to that approved in the TME. Further

restrictions are described in sections IX

and X below.

TME–00–4.

Date of Receipt: May 3, 2000. The

extended comment period will close

July 5, 2000.

Applicant: Westvaco Corporation

Chemical: Fatty acids, tall-oil,

reaction products with castor oil and

substituted amines, chloride salt

Use: asphalt emulsifier.

Production Volume: CBI

Number of Customers: 1

Test Marketing Period: 12 months,

commencing on first day of commercial

manufacture.

IX. What Personal Protective

Equipment is Required for this

Chemical?

During manufacturing, processing,

and use of the substance at any site

controlled by the applicant, any person

under the control of the applicant,

including employees and contractors,

who may be dermally exposed to the

substance shall use:

a. Gloves determined by the applicant

to be impervious to the substance under

the substance under the conditions of

exposure, including the duration of

exposure. The applicant shall make this

determination either by testing the

gloves under the conditions of exposure

or by evaluating the specifications

provided by the manufacturer of the

gloves. Testing or evaluation of

specifications shall include

consideration of permeability,

penetration, and potential chemical and

mechanical degradation by the PMN

substance and associated chemical

substances;

b. Clothing which covers any other

exposed areas of the arms, legs, and

torso; and

c. Chemical safety goggles or

equivalent eye protection.

X. What Records must be kept for this

TME?

The applicant shall maintain the

following records until 5 years after the

date they are created, and shall make

them available for inspection or copying

in accordance with section 11 of TSCA:

1. Records of the quantity of the TME

substance produced and the date of

manufacture.

2. Records of dates of the shipments

to each customer and the quantities

supplied in each shipment.

3. Copies of the bill of lading that

accompanies each shipment of the TME

substance.

4. Records documenting compliance

with the personal protective equipment

requirements, including copies of any

determination that the protective gloves

used by the applicant are impervious to

the substance.

XI. What was EPA’s Risk Assessment

for this TME?

EPA identified no significant

environmental concerns for the test

market substance; however, human

health concerns were raised for the

substance. Specifically, Agency

reviewers identified potential concerns

for severe irritation or corrosion to the

skin and eye. These concerns were

mitigated due to the required use of

appropriate personal protective

equipment. Therefore, the test market

activities will not present any

unreasonable risk of injury to human

health or the environment.

XII. Can EPA Change Its Decision on

this TME in the Future?

Yes. The Agency reserves the right to

rescind approval or modify the

conditions and restrictions of an

exemption should any new information

that comes to its attention cast

significant doubt on its finding that the

test marketing activities will not present

any unreasonable risk of injury to

human health or the environment.
