Note: Effective April 12, 2011, all PMN and Section 5 Notices are required to be submitted electronically via EPA's eTSCA ecryption software. Click Here to learn more

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires the notification of any “new” chemical substances being imported into or manufactured in the United States for the first time. Any company intending to manufacture or import a new chemical substance must give USEPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention 90-day notification under TSCA § 5. EPA will review the intended use of a new chemical substance and evaluate any hazards associated with its use and, if necessary, regulate a new chemical substance. toXcel can compile all information concerning chemical identity, use profile, manufacture/import volume, and exposure potential to human health and the environment into the required documentation to complete a new chemical’s Premanufacture Notification.

toXcel can help you determine whether the chemical you intend to manufacture or import is indeed a new chemical substance and what, if any, exclusions or exemptions may apply to a chemical substance or its use. toXcel can be your source for the preparation of PMNs and other TSCA § 5 Notices and can coordinate submission of documents and materials to EPA and track their progress during Agency review. We are prepared and ready for upcoming technological advances with EPA’s submission process for PMNs and continue to stay abreast of any changes in the TSCA regulation.
