This bi-monthly news bulletin is intended to inform all persons concerned with the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) about recent developments and near-term
plans. For further information or to request copies of documents mentioned, write
the Industry Assistance Office, (TS-799) OPTS, U.S.E.P.A., Washington, D.C., 20460,
or call toll-free 800-424-9065 or, in Washington, 554-1404.
REGULATORY & REQUIRED ACTIONS
PREMANUFACTURE NOTIFICATION (PMN). ..
SECTION 5
Under Section 5(a)(1) a person who intends to in-
troduce into commerce a chemical substance not on
the TSCA inventory must notify EPA at least 90 days
before beginning manufacture, This rule would apply
also to importers. The notice must give the chemical
identity, production volume, uses, byproducts, oc-
cupational exposure and other health and en-
vironmental effects information in the submittor's
possession. EPA is to use the review period to deter-
mine if the substance might present an
unreasonable risk that should be remedied through
either an order to develop sufficient information or
an immediately effective rule. Upon such a deter-
mination, EPA issues an order to prohibit manufac-
ture and then applies to the court for an injunction to
this effect. This order must be issued 45 days before
the notification period ends. The original period may
be extended by EPA for up to 90 days for good cause
noted in the Federal Register. Absent such an order
or immediate rule, the manufacturer may proceed
with his plans. EPA publishes in the Federal Register
a summary of each PMN five days after its receipt
and a status report on all current receipts at the
beginning of each month. Copies of the revised pro-
posed forms for manufacturers, importers and ex-
porters are available from I AO for use by submittors
during the interim period (See 44 FR 28564, May 15,
1979 and 44 FR 59764, Oct. 16, 1979). A final PMN rule
is expected in the fourth quarter of 1980.
EPA has published three PMN status reports, which
are reproduced below. The February report appeared
on March 26th(45 FR 19609); the March report on
April 21st (45 FR 26815); and the April report on May
21st (45 FR 34060).

PREMANUFACTURE ORDER... SECTION 5(e)
Under Section 5(e) EPA may, after determining that
there Is insufficient Information in a PMN to evaluate
a potential unreaonable risk, order that manufacture
of the new substance be prohibited until adequate
data are developed. The manufacturer has 30 days
from the order's receipt to object. If he does object,
EPA then has 15 days to obtain a court order pro-
hibiting manufacture until adequate data are
developed. The company is under no time limit to
submit the information, but until It does so, EPA's
manufacturing ban remains in effect.
On April 23rd EPA issued the first order under Sec-
tion 5(e) to prohibit manufacture of six new phthalate
ester plasticizers, pending development of adequate
information to evaluate the following risks: causing
cancer, reduction of fish populations, and blo-
concentration in fish. Because no safety studies
were submitted by the company in the PMN, informa-
tion on their potential harm was derived from studies
on existing plasticizers and their structural
analogues, dialkyl phthalates. In particular, EPA
cited the recent finding by the National Cancer In-
stitute showing di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate to be a
carcinogen. However, EPA judged the data available
for the category of chemicals known as dialkyl
phthalates to be Insufficient to evaluate the cancer
risk. The PMN chemicals are plasticizers which are
used to give flexibility to polyvinyl chloride plastic
products such as garden hoses, floor tiles and
refrigerator gaskets. EPA estimates that from 300 to
400 workers could be exposed during production and
another 1,000 to 10,000 workers exposed during their
use in making finished plastic goods. In a press an-
nouncement, EPA stated, "Because this action Is the
first of its kind, we hope that cooperation from the
manufacturer will set the tone for future cases." In
the PMN, the company claimed its identity as con-
fidential. Since then, the manufacturer has
withdrawn his Premanufacture Notices.
The six chemical substances are:
Polymer of phthallc anhydride, ethylene glycol, heptanol,
and 2-ethylhexanol; Polymer of phthallc anhydride,
1,2-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanedlol, 1-octanol, and
1-decanol;	Polymer of phthallc anhydride, ethylene glycol,
heptanol, 1-decanol, and 1-octanol; Polymer of phthallc
anhydride, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanedlol, and
2-ethylhexanol;	Polymer of phthallc anhydride, 1,3-butylene
glycol, 1-octanol, and 1-decanol; Polymar of phthallc
anhydride, 1,3-butylene glycol, 2-ethylhexanol.
IMMEDIATELY EFFECTIVE RULE... SECTION 0(d)
Section 6 authorizes EPA to control chemicals as
hazardous substances If It finds that the chemical
will present an unreasonable risk of Injury to human
health or the environment. Under Section 6(d) EPA
may declare a rule proposed under Section 6(a) to be
Immediately effective If EPA determines that the risk
of serious or widespread Injury la likely to exist
before a final rule can be promulgated. Upon request,
EPA Is to commence an "expedited hearing" on the
proposal within five days and Is to promulgate or
revoke the rule within 10 days of the conclusion of
the hearings. Upon promulgation, the rule is subject
to judicial review (of. Sec 19).
On March 11th, 1980, ERA published an immediately
effective rule under Section 6(d) which prohibited
Vertac, Inc. from disposing specific chemical wastes
contaminated with 2,3,7,8-TCDD (Tetrachlor-
odlbenzo-p-Dioxin) at its Jacksonville, Arkansas
facility. The rule also required any person to notify
EPA at least 60 days before he Intends to dispose of
any wastes resulting from the production of
2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and/or Its pesticide derivatives
or from the production of other substances on equip-
ment previously used to produce 2,4,5-Trichloro-
phenol and/or its pesticide derivatives (45 FR 15547).
The immediately effective proposal was published at
45 FR 15592. On April 18, 1980, EPA published a
notice on the expedited hearings and shortened com-
ment periods (45 FR 26386). Testimony was taken on
April 16 and May 1. On May 19th, EPA published the
final rule (45 FR 32676).
SUBSTANTIAL RISK...	SECTION 8(e)
Under Section 8(e) persons who obtain Information
which reasonably supports the conclusion that a
substance presents substantial risk of Injury to
human health or the environment must notify EPA
within 15 days. These notices are then reviewed by
OPTS preliminarily and an initial evaluation Is
prepared containing follow-up questions of the sub-
mlttor, referrals to other agencies and decisions to
the list the chemical for a Section 8 reporting rule or
to undertake a formal risk assessment in OPTS. The
submissions, often extensive, and the OPTS Initial
evaluations are In the Public Reading Room, 447,
East Tower, Waterside Mall, 401 M Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C.
A Section 8(e) notice varies from one-page letters
reporting results to multi-volume submissions con-
taining data, analysis and/or referenced articles from
the scientific literature. The table lists both such sub-
missions as "reports." Persons wishing to request a
copy of any of the submissions mentioned in the
table should contact the OPTS Public Document
Room (202-755-8050). Personnel there can describe
more fully the nature of the submission and will
duplicate up to 49 pages for free per caller's total re-
quest, not, please note, per Item requested. At page
fifty of a request for duplication a charge of 20* per
page Is levied for all subsequent pages and also for
the first 49 pages of the request.

REPORTING RULES
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT INFORMATION...
SECTION 8(a)
Under Section 8(a) EPA may require manufacturers
and processors to submit various kinds of Informa-
tion on named chemicals. Such a rule only applies to
Information already in their posssesslon. The
Preliminary Assessment Information rule, proposed
on February 29, 1980 (45 FR 13646), would require
manufacturers of 2200 named chemicals to complete
a summary 1-1/2 page form containing Information
basic for determining broad estimates of exposure to
the chemicals. With these reports In hand, EPA will
expeditiously rank the chemicals according to actual
exposure potential and select those which warrant
further evaluation of risk. It Is expected that about
100 chemicals will fall Into this follow-up category.
The comment period closed on May 14, 1980.
On March 17, 1960, the Chemical Manufacturers
Association (CMA) petitioned EPA to provide a more
complete rationale for selecting each of the 2200
chemicals for Section 8(a) preliminary assessment
reporting, to collect ail Information CMA believed
relevant In a single location, and to extend the com-
ment period. On April 28, 1980, EPA published its
response which Included ctarlflcatione and further
details on the groups of chemicals comprised In the
list (45 FR 28172). Also In this notice are certain cor-
rections to the list; other corrections were noted on
April 16th (45 FR 26386). In denying the petition, EPA
nonetheless took the opportunity to correct and
clarify the record at this stage in the rule-making
rather than wait until the final rule. EPA stated that
the basis for the proposal, as reflected in Its rule-
making record, was adequate for the specified pur-
pose of enabling the Agency to select chemicals for
preliminary assessment and for the immediate end
of commenting on the list and the feasibility of
reporting. EPA has published an easy-to-read listing
of the chemicals with the rationale-source for each
one. The majority of them met more than one
criterion.
THE TSCA INVENTORY ...	SECTION 8(b)
On October 22,1979 (44 FR 60763), EPA announced
that persons who reported for the Chemical
Substances Inventory need not keep records
documenting their reports beyond January 1,1983.
On April 18,1980 (45 FR 26452) EPA declared that as
of May 19,1980, no more "late" reports for the Inven-
tory would be accepted. After that date any chemical
substance manufactured In the United States, and
any substance imported in bulk, that has not been
reported for the Inventory is subject to Section 5 of
TSCA, Premanufacture Notification. Since July 1,
1979, when Premanufacture Notification went into ef-
fect, EPA has received late submissions for
substances that would have been eligible for the In-
ventory had they been reported on tlme and has add-
ed them to the Inventory. Many of these additions
will appear In the cumulative supplement expected in
the summer. The cutoff does hot apply to persons
reporting for the Revised Inventory substances which
they process or import as part of mixtures or articles
for the first time after December 31,1979.

STUDIES & SUPPORT ACTIVITY
TSCA PUBLICATIONS SERIES
On March 13, 1980, EPA announced that it would
publish as a series the reports and studies made by
scientists in the course of implementing TSCA. This
will be called the "TSCA Chemical Assessment
Series" and will comprise volumes on single or
several chemicals, preliminary or in-depth studies,
and compendia of information received and
evaluated under TSCA. Persons may receive volumes
either by subscribing to the entire series or by asking
to be notified of each volume as it appears. In the lat-
ter case, If Interested in a particular volume, the per-
son would request it through lAO's toll-free
telephone service. IAO will maintain the subscription
and the notification lists for the series. The first two
publications will appear soon and are (1) a compen-
dium of the initial evaluations of substantial risk
notices received under Section 8(e) from January 1,
1977 through June 30,1979 and (2) a compilation of
"Chemical Hazard Information Profiles" (CHIPS)
done between August, 1976 and August, 1978.
CHEMICAL HAZARD INFORMATION PROFILES...
(CHIPS)
A "Chemical Hazard Information Profile" Ia prepared
by the TSCA staff to screen the many candidates for
Its consideration under TSCA. This ten-page profile
consists of Information drawn from off-the-shelf
reference sources and quick-access literature on pro-
duction, exposure, use, health and environmental ef-
fects. It tells how the subject came to EPA's atten-
tion and the rationale for doing a profile plus EPA's
disposition after reviewing the profile. In addition, a
short bibliography Is appended. This document Is the
first rung on the ladder of TSCA chemical risk
assessment.
The first compilation of CHIPS with 43 profiles will be
published about June 1st. It may be obtained through
signing up for the TSCA Chemical Assessment
Series, as described above. It covers the period
#976-1978. The following chemicals are included in
this volume.

On April 9, 1980 EPA published the "Consolidated
Rules of Practice governing the Administrative
Asessment of Civil Penalties and the Revocation of
Suspension of Permits" (45 FR 24360). These apply
not only to TSCA's Section 16 but also to FIFRA.s
