Certain Chemicals; Premanufacture

Notices

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires

any person who intends to manufacture

or import a new chemical to notify EPA

and comply with the statutory

provisions pertaining to the

manufacture or import of substances not

on the TSCA Inventory. Section 5 of

TSCA also requires EPA to publish

receipt and status information in the

Federal Register each month reporting

premanufacture notices (PMN) and test

marketing exemption (TME) application

requests received, both pending and

expired. The information in this

document contains notices received

from March 30, 1998 to April 3, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments,

identified by the document control

number ‘‘[OPPTS–51902]’’ and the

specific PMN number, if appropriate,

should be sent to: Document Control

Office (7407), Office of Pollution

Prevention and Toxics, Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Rm.

ETG–099 Washington, DC 20460.

Comments and data may also be

submitted electronically by sending

electronic mail (e-mail) to:

oppt.ncic@epamail.epa.gov. Electronic

comments must be submitted as an

ASCII file avoiding the use of special

characters and any form of encryption.

Comments and data will also be

accepted on disks in WordPerfect in 5.1/

6.1 file format or ASCII file format. All

comments and data in electronic form

must be identified by the docket number

[OPPTS–51902]. No Confidential

Business Information (CBI) should be

submitted through e-mail. Electronic

comments on this notice may be filed

online at many Federal Depository

Libraries. Additional information on

electronic submissions can be found

under ‘‘SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION’’.

All comments which contain

information claimed as CBI must be
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 82 /Wednesday, April 29, 1998 / Notices 23463

clearly marked as such. Three sanitized

copies of any comments containing

information claimed as CBI must also be

submitted and will be placed in the

public record for this notice. Persons

submitting information on any portion

of which they believe is entitled to

treatment as CBI by EPA must assert a

business confidentiality claim in

accordance with 40 CFR 2.203(b) for

each such portion. This claim must be

made at the time that the information is

submitted to EPA. If a submitter does

not assert a confidentiality claim at the

time of submission, EPA will consider

this as a waiver of any confidentiality

claim and the information may be made

available to the public by EPA without

further notice to the submitter.

Susan B. Hazen, Director,

Environmental Assistance Division

(7408), Office of Pollution Prevention

and Toxics, Environmental Protection

TDD (202) 554–0551; e-mail: TSCAHotline@epamail.epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

provisions of TSCA, EPA is required to

publish notice of receipt and status

reports of chemicals subject to section 5

reporting requirements. The notice

requirements are provided in TSCA

sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3). Specifically,

EPA is required to provide notice of

receipt of PMNs and TME application

requests received. EPA also is required

to identify those chemical submissions

for which data has been received, the

uses or intended uses of such chemicals,

and the nature of any test data which

may have been developed. Lastly, EPA

is required to provide periodic status

reports of all chemical substances

undergoing review and receipt of

notices of commencement.

A record has been established for this

notice under docket number ‘‘[OPPTS–

51902]’’ (including comments and data

submitted electronically as described

below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of

electronic comments, which does not

include any information claimed as CBI,

is available for inspection from 12 noon

to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The public

record is located in the TSCA

Nonconfidential Information Center

(NCIC), Rm. NEM–B607, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460.

Electronic comments can be sent

directly to EPA at:

oppt.ncic@epamail.epa.gov

Electronic comments must be

submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the

use of special characters and any form

of encryption.

The official record for this notice, as

well as the public version, as described

above will be kept in paper form.

Accordingly, EPA will transfer all

comments received electronically into

printed, paper form as they are received

and will place the paper copies in the

official record which will also include

all comments submitted directly in

writing. The official record is the paper

record maintained at the address in

‘‘ADDRESSES’’ at the beginning of this

document.

In the past, EPA has published

individual notices reflecting the status

of section 5 filings received, pending or

expired, as well as notices reflecting

receipt of notices of commencement. In

an effort to become more responsive to

the regulated community, the users of

this information and the general public,

to comply with the requirements of

TSCA, to conserve EPA resources, and

to streamline the process and make it

more timely, EPA is consolidating these

separate notices into one comprehensive

notice that will be issued at regular

intervals.

In this notice, EPA shall provide a

consolidated report in the Federal

Register reflecting the dates PMN

requests were received, the projected

notice end date, the manufacturer or

importer identity, to the extent that such

information is not claimed as

confidential and chemical identity,

either specific or generic depending on

whether chemical identity has been

claimed confidential. Additionally, in

this same report, EPA shall provide a

listing of receipt of new notices of

commencement.

EPA believes the new format of the

notice will be easier to understand by

the interested public, and provides the

information that is of greatest interest to

the public users. Certain information

provided in the earlier notices will not

be provided under the new format. The

status reports of substances under

review, potential production volume,

and summaries of health and safety data

will not be provided in the new notices.

EPA is not providing production

volume information in the consolidated

notice since such information is

generally claimed as confidential. For

this reason, there is no substantive loss

to the public in not publishing the data.

Health and safety data are not

summarized in the notice since it is

recognized as impossible, given the

format of this notice, as well as the

previous style of notices, to provide

meaningful information on the subject.

In those submissions where health and

safety data were received by the Agency,

a footnote is included by the

Manufacturer/Importer identity to

indicate its existence. As stated below,

interested persons may contact EPA

directly to secure information on such

studies.

For persons who are interested in data

not included in this notice, access can

be secured at EPA Headquarters in the

NCIC at the address provided above.

Additionally, interested parties may

telephone the Document Control Office

at (202) 260–1532, TDD (202) 554–0551,

for generic use information, health and

safety data not claimed as confidential

or status reports on section 5 filings.

Send all comments to the address

listed above. All comments received

will be reviewed and appropriate

amendments will be made as deemed

necessary.

This notice will identify: PMNs

received.

Lead-Based Paint Activities in Target

Housing and Child-Occupied Facilities;

Commonwealth of Virginia

Authorization Application

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for comments

and opportunity for public hearing.

SUMMARY: On December 19, 1997, the

Commonwealth of Virginia submitted

an application for EPA approval to

administer and enforce training and

certification requirements, training

program accreditation requirements,

and work practice standards for leadbased paint activities in target housing

and child-occupied facilities under

section 402 of the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA). This notice

announces the receipt of Virginia’s

application, and provides a 45–day

public comment period and an

opportunity to request a public hearing

on the application. Virginia has

provided a certification that its program

meets the requirements for approval of

a State program under section 404 of

TSCA. Therefore, pursuant to section

404, the program is deemed authorized

as of the date of submission. If EPA

finds that the program does not meet the

requirements for approval of a State

program, EPA will disapprove the

program, at which time a notice will be

issued in the Federal Register and the

Federal program will take effect in

Virginia.

DATES: The State program became

effective December 19, 1997. Submit
