AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0437; FRL–9352–3] 

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and 

Status Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of 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. 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 

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 May 1, 2012 to May 25, 2012, and 

provides the required notice and status 

report, consists of the PMNs 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 August 6, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0437, 

and the specific PMN number or TME 

number for the chemical related to your 

comment, by one of the following

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 

Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in 

the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 

3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room 

hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding 

legal holidays. The telephone number of

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. If 

you have any questions regarding the 

applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

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 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
40034 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2012 / Notices 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part

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://www.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 May 1, 2012 to 

May 25, 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.
