Cover Letter

This PMN was originally approved by EPA under the terms of the LVE rule (L-11-0344). Due to the increase in

business for our customer thus resulting in an increased usage, Aceto Corporation is now submitting an application

for a full PMN.

Aceto payed the fee of $2500 (TS-LS0811) for our LVE submission (L-11-0344) which was cashed by EPA on

August 10, 2011. We were later informed by David Shultz, our LVE Program Manager, that it was not required. We

would like for this fee to be applied to this PMN application - Please advise.

Thank you for you patience and attention to this matter.

Respectively Submitted,

Simone A. Miller

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

• You must provide all information requested in this form to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Make reasonable estimates if you do not have actual data. 

• Before you complete this form, you should read the “Instructions Manual for Premanufacture Notification” (the Instructions Manual is available from the Toxic Substances Control Act 

 (TSCA) Information Service by calling 202-554-1404, or faxing 202-554-5603). 

• If a user fee has been remitted for this notice (40 CFR 700.45), indicate in the boxes above the TS-user fee identification number you have generated. Remember, your user fee ID number 

 must also appear on your corresponding fee remittance. For mailing address information see the Help instructions in the e-PMN tool.

Part I – GENERAL INFORMATION 

You must provide the currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA) 

Name of the new chemical substance, even if you claim the 

identity as confidential. You may authorize another person to 

submit chemical identity information for you, but your submission 

will not be complete and the review will not begin until EPA 

receives this information. A letter in support of your submission 

should reference your TS user fee identification number. For all 

Section 5 Notice submissions (paper or electronic) you must 

submit an original notice including all test data; if you claimed any 

information as confidential, an original sanitized copy must also be 

submitted. 

TEST DATA AND OTHER DATA 

You are required to submit all test data in your possession or control and to provide a 

description of all other data known to or reasonably ascertainable by you, if these data are 

related to the health and environmental effects on the manufacture, processing, distribution in 

commerce, use, or disposal of the new chemical substance. Standard literature citations may 

be submitted for data in the open scientific literature. Complete test data (written in English), 

not summaries of data, must be submitted if they do not appear in the open literature. You 

should clearly identify whether test data is on the substance or on an analog. Also, the 

chemical composition of the tested material should be characterized. Following are examples 

of test data and other data. Data should be submitted according to the requirements of 

§720.50 of the Premanufacture Notification Rule (40 CFR Part 720). 

Test Data (Check Below any included in this notice)

 Environmental fate data Other Data 

Part II – HUMAN EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL 

RELEASE 

If there are several manufacture, processing, or use operations to 

be described in Part II, sections A and B of this notice, reproduce 

the sections as needed. Health effects data Risk Assessments 

 Environmental effects data Structure/activity relationships

Physical/Chemical Properties (A physical and chemical properties worksheet is 

located on the last page of this form.) 

Part III – LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 

For paper submissions, attach additional sheets if there is not 

enough space to answer a question fully. Label each continuation 

sheet with the corresponding section heading. In Part III, list these 

attachments, any test data or other data and any optional 

information included in the notice. Test data not in the possession or control of the submitter

OPTIONAL INFORMATION 

You may include any information that you want EPA to consider in 

evaluating the new substance. On page 11 of this form, space has 

been provided for you to describe pollution prevention and 

recycling information you may have regarding the new substance. 

“Binding” boxes are included throughout this form for you to 

indicate your willingness to be bound to certain statements you 

make in this section, such as use, production volume, protective 

equipment . . . The intention is to reduce delays that routinely 

accompany the development of consent orders or Significant New 

Use Rules. Checking a "binding" box in a PMN does not by itself 

prohibit the submitter from later deviating from the information 

(except chemical identity) reported in the form; however, in the 

case of exemption applications (such as TMEA, LVE, LOREX) 

certain information provided in such notifications is binding on the 

submitter when the Agency approves the exemption application, 

especially if the production volume "binding" box is chosen in a 

LVE.

confidential. 

(1) -- Diagram the major unit operation steps and chemical conversions, including interim storage and transport containers (specify - e.g. 5 gallon 

pails, 55 gallon drums, rail cars, tank trucks, etc). On the diagram, identify by letter and briefly describe each worker activity. 

(2) -- Either in the diagram or in the text field 1(b) below, provide the identity, the approximate weight (by kg/day or kg/batch, on an 100% new 

chemical substance basis), and entry point of all feedstocks (including reactants, solvents and catalysts, etc) and all products, recycle 

streams, and wastes. Include cleaning chemicals (note frequency if not used daily or per batch). 

(3) -- Either in the diagram or in the text field 1(b) below, identify by number the points of release, including small or intermittent releases, to the 

environment of the new chemical substance. 

(4) -- Please enter the # of sites (remember to identify the locations of these sites on a continuation sheet):

 Number of Sites Confidential

OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION

To claim information in the following section as confidential, bracket (e.g. {}) the specific information that you claim as confidential. 

In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks 

associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance. Please include new information 

pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling 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 by technological 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 recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction in addition to compliance with existing 

regulatory requirements. The EPA is interested 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 nonenvironmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). To the 

extent known, information about the technology being replaced will assist EPA in its relative risk determination. In 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 materials, reagents, or feedstocks; 

(4) a reduction in potential toxicity, human exposure and/or environmental release; or 

(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.

Information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this substance. See PMN Instructions Manual 

and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and examples.
