Certain Chemicals; Premanufacture Notices

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 5(a)(1) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

requires any person who intends to manufacture or import a new chemical

substance to submit a premanufacture notice (PMN) to EPA at least 90

days before manufacture or import commences. Statutory requirements for

section 5(a)(1) premanufacture notices are discussed in the final rule

published in the Federal Register of May 13, 1983 (48 FR 21722). In the

Federal Register of November 11, 1984, (49 FR 46066) (40 CFR 723.250),

EPA published a rule which granted a limited exemption from certain PMN

requirements for certain types of polymers. Notices for such polymers

are reviewed by EPA within 21 days of receipt. This notice announces

receipt of 19 such PMN(s) and provides a summary of each.

DATES: Close of review periods:
