ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) requires EPA to publish in

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to premanufacture notices (PMNs), 

microbial commercial activity notices 

(MCANs), and significant new use

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

notices submitted under TSCA section 

5(a) that certain new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment. This document presents 

statements of findings made by EPA 

during the period from February 1, 2021 

to February 28, 2021. 

III. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to 

review a TSCA section 5(a) notice and 

make one of the following specific 

findings: 

• The chemical substance or 

significant new use presents an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment; 

• The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects of the chemical 

substance or significant new use; 

• The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects and the chemical 

substance or significant new use may 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment; 

• The chemical substance is or will 

be produced in substantial quantities, 

and such substance either enters or may 

reasonably be anticipated to enter the 

environment in substantial quantities or 

there is or may be significant or 

substantial human exposure to the 

substance; or 

• The chemical substance or 

significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. 

These findings must be made without 

consideration of costs or other non-risk 

factors, including an unreasonable risk 

to a potentially exposed or susceptible 

subpopulation identified as relevant 

under the conditions of use. The term 

‘‘conditions of use’’ is defined in TSCA 

section 3 to mean ‘‘the circumstances, as 

determined by the Administrator, under 

which a chemical substance is intended, 

known, or reasonably foreseen to be 

manufactured, processed, distributed in 

commerce, used, or disposed of.’’ 

EPA is required under TSCA section 

5(g) to publish in the Federal Register 

a statement of its findings after its 

review of a TSCA section 5(a) notice 

when EPA makes a finding that a new 

chemical substance or significant new 

use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period.
