The Primary Agent/Consultant is not responsible for the submission of original main forms,
including PMN, Biotechnology, NOC, or Bona Fide forms. The Primary Agent/Consultant is an
individual who serves as a consultant to a specific company. However, this individual is not
responsible for and does not have the authority to submit data since the agent/consultant does not
technically work for the submitting company.
As a Primary Agent/Consultant, you can create all form types within the Section 5 Notices and
Supports application. You are also responsible for submitting amendments, unlocking
submissions, and deleting forms. A Primary Agent/Consultant can submit a Support or ACM
form, but cannot submit any other form types, and may not assign Support users to a form.
You can save the form at any point during the data entry process. The save functionality will
allow you to return to that same form at any point in the future. You can print the form at any
point; however, the 'Not For Submission' watermark will be placed on the form anytime the
form is printed prior to actual submission.

TSCA Section 5 Notices and Supports - ePMN
OK
Section 5 of TSCA, EPA's New Chemicals Program, helps manage the potential risk to human health and the environment
from chemicals prior to entry to the marketplace. Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance (I.e.
one not listed on the TSCA inventory) for a non-exempt commercial purpose is required by Section 5 of TSCA to provide EPA
with notice before initiating the activity. A Premanufacture Notice, or PMN, must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the
manufacture or import of the chemical. Additional notice types which use the PMN form are listed to reflect different
circumstances under which a chemical may be manufactured or imported such as Significant New Use Notices (SNUN), Low
Volume Exemptions (LVE), Test Market Exemption Applications (TMEA), and Low Volume and Low Release Exemptions
(LoREX). Biotechnology notice forms will be used to submit Microbial Commercial Activity Notices (MCAN), TSCA Experimental
Release Applications (TERA), Tier 1 Exemptions, Tier 2 Exemptions, and Biotechnology Test Market Exemption Applications
(Biotechnology TMEA). For a PMN or MCAN, the manufacturing or importing company must also notify EPA via a Notice of
Commencement within 30 days after the start of the first manufacture or import of the chemical for non-exempt commercial
purposes.
Please note: The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 93
hours per response for PMN, SNUN, LVE, and LOREX applications (TMEA is estimated to average 88 hours per response),
including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of information. The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 290 hours per response for MCAN applications and the NOC is estimated to average 0.8
hours per response. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden
estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection
