[Federal Register: January 17, 2002 (Volume 67, Number 12)] [Notices] [Page 2436-2441] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr17ja02-50] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [OPPTS-51981; FRL-6819-9] Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the period from December 1, 2001 to December 22, 2001, consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received [[Page 2437]] under TSCA section 5 during this time period. The ``S'' and ``G'' that precede the chemical names denote whether the chemical idenity is specific or generic. DATES: Comments identified by the docket control number OPPTS-51981 and the specific PMN number, must be received on or before February 19, 2002. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail, electronically, or in person. Please follow the detailed instructions for each method as provided in Unit I. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative that you identify docket control number OPPTS-51981 and the specific PMN number in the subject line on the first page of your response.
