| Section A: Introduction | |||||||||
| GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This form may be used in conjunction with the Premanufacture Notice (PMN) for new chemical substances (EPA Form 7710-25 (Rev. 1-19)) to submit chemicals for review under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program as alternatives to Class I and II ozone-depleting substances. In addition to the information provided in the Premanufacture Notice, the Agency is requesting submitters provide information on the following topics. This information will assist EPA in assessing the acceptability of the chemical as an alternative to ozone-depleting substances as required by Section 612 of the Clean Air Act. Please see the Instructions for the TSCA/SNAP Addendum (“Instructions”) for guidance on completing this form. The Instructions document is available at http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/submit/index.html. To facilitate Agency review of alternatives, both this form and the complete PMN form (including the physical and chemical properties worksheet) must be filled out as completely as possible. Please provide all information requested to the extent that it is known or reasonably ascertainable. Make reasonable estimates if actual data are unavailable. Be sure to provide the PMN form as an attachment when submitting the TSCA/SNAP Addendum. This form contains a Response Checker that identifies questions that are missing responses. Please review the questions that are missing responses carefully to ensure that all required information is provided before submitting this form to EPA. Please note that this checker is not an indicator of whether EPA will consider the submission complete, but rather, this checker is an indicator of whether all questions have been answered prior to submission. |
