PMN)
requirements
and
permit
them
to
manufacture

import
new

Agency
finds
that
the
manufacture,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
use,
and
disposal

finding
that
the
test
marketing
activity
will
not
present
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury.

III.

Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

modify
the

and
restrictions

should
any
new
information

attention
cast
significant
doubt
on
its
finding
that
the
test
marketing
activities
will
not
present
any
