This section describes how to:
Access the application
Navigate the Section 5 Notices and Supports 'Home' screen
Assign Supports to complete a form
Start and complete the Section 5 Notices and Supports forms - Premanufacture Notice
(PMN), Biotechnology, Notice of Commencement (NOC), Support, Bona Fide Notices, and
Alternative Control Measures (ACM) 721.30
Upload an extensible markup language (XML) file
Download a Copy of Record
Create an amendment
The Primary AO is responsible for the submission of original main forms, including PMN,
Biotechnology, NOC, Support, Bona Fide, or ACM forms. As a Primary AO, you can create a
new form. You are also responsible for submitting amendments, unlocking submissions, and
deleting forms. You can assign Supports (or other authorized individuals) to edit and complete a
form on your behalf. The Primary AO can be thought of as a primary company authorized
official, specifically in regards to any sponsored individuals.
You can save the form at any point during the data entry process. The save functionality allows
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.

CHEMICAL INFORMATION SUBMISSION SYSTEM
| TSCA Section ;ฆ Nonces and Supports - eFl.'N
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 (Le-
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.To determine if a substance is on the TSCA inventory, and therefore excluded from the
requirement to provide premanufacturing notification, a submitter may submit a Bona Fide Intent to Manufacture notice
("Bona Fide Notice").
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),
