GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
You must provide all information requested in this form to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Make reasonable estimates if you do not have actual data.
Before you complete this form, you should read the “Instructions Manual for Premanufacture Notification” (the Instructions Manual is available from the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) Information Service by calling 202-554-1404, or faxing 202-554-5603).
If a fee has been remitted for this notice (40 CFR 700.45), indicate in the boxes above the TS fee identification number you have generated. Remember, your fee ID number must also
appear on your corresponding fee remittance. For mailing address information see the Help instructions in the e-PMN tool.

Part I – GENERAL INFORMATION
You must provide the currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA)
Name of the new chemical substance, even if you claim the
identity as confidential. You may authorize another person to
submit chemical identity information for you, but your submission
will not be complete and the review will not begin until EPA
receives this information. A letter in support of your submission
should reference your TS fee identification number. For all
Section 5 Notice submissions (paper or electronic) you must
submit an original notice including all test data; if you claimed any
information as confidential, an original sanitized copy must also be
submitted.

Part II – HUMAN EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
RELEASE
If there are several manufacture, processing, or use operations to
be described in Part II, sections A and B of this notice, reproduce
the sections as needed.

TEST DATA AND OTHER DATA
You are required to submit all test data in your possession or control and to provide a
description of all other data known to or reasonably ascertainable by you, if these data are
related to the health and environmental effects on the manufacture, processing, distribution in
commerce, use, or disposal of the new chemical substance. Standard literature citations may
be submitted for data in the open scientific literature. Complete test data (written in English),
not summaries of data, must be submitted if they do not appear in the open literature. You
should clearly identify whether test data is on the substance or on an analog. Also, the
chemical composition of the tested material should be characterized. Following are examples
of test data and other data. Data should be submitted according to the requirements of
§720.50 of the Premanufacture Notification Rule (40 CFR Part 720).

CONFIDENTIALITY CLAIMS
You may claim any information in this notice as confidential. To
assert a claim on the form, mark (X) the confidential box next to
the information that you claim as confidential. To assert a claim in
an attachment, circle or bracket the information you claim as
confidential. If you claim information in the notices as confidential,
you must also provide a sanitized version of the notice, (including
attachments). For additional instructions on claiming information
as confidential, read the Instructions Manual.

Health effects data

For paper submissions, attach additional sheets if there is not
enough space to answer a question fully. Label each continuation
sheet with the corresponding section heading. In Part III, list these
attachments, any test data or other data and any optional
information included in the notice.

You may include any information that you want EPA to consider in
evaluating the new substance. On page 11 of this form, space has
been provided for you to describe pollution prevention and
recycling information you may have regarding the new substance.
“Binding” boxes are included throughout this form for you to
indicate your willingness to be bound to certain statements you
make in this section, such as use, production volume, protective
equipment . . . The intention is to reduce delays that routinely
accompany the development of consent orders or Significant New
Use Rules. Checking a "binding" box in a PMN does not by itself
prohibit the submitter from later deviating from the information
(except chemical identity) reported in the form; however, in the
case of exemption applications (such as TMEA, LVE, LOREX)
certain information provided in such notifications is binding on the
submitter when the Agency approves the exemption application,
especially if the production volume "binding" box is chosen in a
LVE.

OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION
To claim information in the following section as confidential, bracket (e.g. {}) the specific information that you claim as confidential.
In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks
associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal of the PMN substance. Please include new information
pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical
substance. Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of chemical wastes by technological modification, process and
procedure modification, product reformulation, and/or raw materials substitution. Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful chemical components
from wastes that would otherwise be treated or released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. Quantitative or qualitative
descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction in addition to compliance with existing
regulatory requirements. The EPA is interested in the information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and
exposures, not the shifting of risks to other media (e.g., air to water) or nonenvironmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). To the
extent known, information about the technology being replaced will assist EPA in its relative risk determination. In addition, information on the
relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may be provided.
Describe the expected net benefits, such as
(1) an overall reduction in risk to human health or the environment;
(2) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction or other means;
(3) a reduction in the use of hazardous starting materials, reagents, or feedstocks;
(4) a reduction in potential toxicity, human exposure and/or environmental release; or
(5) the extent to which the new chemical substance may be a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk to human
health or the environment.
CBI
Information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this substance. See PMN
Instructions Manual and Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and examples.

Part IV -- CBI Substantiation
This substantiation contains CBI:

Yes

X

No

Pursuant to TSCA section 14(c)(3), you must substantiate any CBI claims for information elements other than specific chemical identity at the time this notice is
submitted. EPA guidance for complying with TSCA section 14(c)(3) may be found at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-cbi/substantiating-cbi-claims-under-tsca-timeinitial-submission. You may also substantiate a request to maintain an existing CBI claim for a specific chemical identity at the time this notice is submitted,
but this is not required. Rather, you must substantiate the existing CBI claim for the specific chemical identity by the deadline established in a forthcoming
Review Plan, to be promulgated at a later date in accordance with TSCA section 8(b)(4)(C).
If you do not assert a CBI claim at time of submission of this form, or otherwise fail to assert a proper CBI claim (i.e., by failing to substantiate your CBI claim or
not providing a certification statement), the information shall be treated as not subject to a CBI claim, and may be made public without further notice. If a single
substantiation response applies for all or a class of information claimed as CBI, you should indicate this in your substantiation response. If different
substantiation responses are necessary to support CBI claims for different information types, you should provide separate substantiation responses for each
information type, clearly identifying the information for which each substantiation applies in the free text boxes (e.g. Question A.1. or 2) or in the additional
information box at the end of this form.
