# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. General Information

### A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

                    This action is directed in particular to the chemical manufacturer and/or importer who submitted the TME applications to EPA. This action may, however, be of interest to the public in general. Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under                     **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**                    .                

### B. How Can I get Copies of this Document and Other Related Information?

                    1.                     *Docket*. EPA has established a docket for this action under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0270. All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index at                     *http://www.regulations.gov*. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (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                           ( print page 23694)                        p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is (202) 566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.                

                    2.                     *Electronic access*. You may access this                     **Federal Register**                     document electronically through the EPA Internet under the “                    **Federal Register**                    ” listings at                     *http://www.epa.gov/​fedrgstr*.                

## II. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR 720.38 authorize EPA to exempt persons from premanufacture notifice (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 human 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.

## III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

EPA has approved the TMEs listed in this notice. EPA has determined that test marketing these new chemical substances, under the conditions set out in each TME application and in this notice, will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.

## IV. What Restrictions Apply to these TMEs?

The test market time period, production volume, number of customers, and use must not exceed specifications in the applications and this notice. All other conditions and restrictions described in the applications and in this notice must also be met.

2. Records of dates of the shipments to each customer and the quantities supplied in each shipment.

3. Copies of the bill of lading that accompanies each shipment of the TME substance.

## V. What was EPA's Risk Assessment for these TMEs?

                    EPA identified no significant human health or environmental risks for these test market substances, due to either the low toxicity of each substance or low expected exposure. Therefore, the test market activities will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. (Many of these TMEs were submitted per the TSCA New Chemicals Sustainable Futures Voluntary Pilot Project which is designed to develop low risk chemicals; see the                     **Federal Register**                     of December 11, 2002 (67 FR 76282) (FRL-7198-6).                

## VI. Can EPA Change Its Decision on these TMEs in the Future?

Yes. The Agency reserves the right to rescind approval or modify the conditions and restrictions of an exemption should any new information that comes to its attention cast significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activities will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.
