AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
Section 5 of the Toxic Substances ControlAct (TSCA) requires any person who intends to manufacture(defined by statute to include import) a new chemical (i.e., achemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to notify EPA and comply withthe statutory provisions pertaining to the manufacture of newchemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA isrequired to publish a notice of receipt of a premanufacturenotice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing exemption(TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the chemicalsunder review and the receipt of notices of commencement tomanufacture those chemicals. This status report, which coversthe period from June 26, 2000 to July 7, 2000, consists of thePMNs, both pending or expired, and the notices of commencement tomanufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received underTSCA section 5 during this time period.
