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 December 6, 2011 to December 16, 

2011, and provides the required notice

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

CONTACT. 

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 e-mail. 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 December 6, 

2011 to December 16, 2011, consists of 

the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or 

expired, and the NOCs to manufacture 

a new chemical that the Agency has 

received under TSCA section 5 during 

this time period. 

III. Receipt and Status Reports 

In Table I of this unit, EPA provides 

the following information (to the extent 

that such information is not claimed as 

CBI) on the PMNs received by EPA 

during this period: The EPA case 

number assigned to the PMN, the date 

the PMN was received by EPA, the 

projected end date for EPA’s review of 

the PMN, the submitting manufacturer/ 

importer, the potential uses identified 

by the manufacturer/importer in the 

PMN, and the chemical identity.

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 December 19, 2011 to December 

30, 2011, 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 March 2, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2012–0015, 

and the specific PMN number or TME 

number for the chemical related to your 

comment, by one of the following 

methods:

Instructions: EPA’s policy is that all 

comments received will be included in 

the docket without change and may be 

made available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or 

email. The regulations.gov Web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your e-mail address 

will 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.
