US EPA received 68 pre-manufacture notices in June

The US EPA has announced that it received 68 pre-manufacture notices (PMNs) in June. Of these, the manufacturer's identity was withheld on 40 as confidential business information (CBI). The submissions included 32 new PMNs, and 36 amendments to existing ones.

Also in June, the agency received test data in support of eight previously submitted PMNs; and it received 18 notices of commencement (NOCs).

The update to the TSCA new substance programme was released in a 12 October Federal Register notice.

Section 5 of TSCA requires any person intending to manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose to provide the EPA with a PMN before initiating the activity. The agency reviews that notice, evaluates risk and takes appropriate action.

Under 2016 updates to TSCA, the EPA must publish a list of these submissions monthly.
