SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes 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.

EPA hereby approves the

modifications of the test marketing

period, production volume, and number

of customers for TME–90–11. EPA has

determined that test marketing of the

new chemical substance described

below, under the conditions set out in

the TME applications and modification

requests, and for the modified time

periods specified below, will not

present any unreasonable risk of injury

to health or the environment.

Production volume, use, and the

number of customers must not exceed

that specified in the application. All

other conditions and restrictions

described in the original Notice of

Approval of Test Marketing Application

must be met.
