Electronically.
If
you
submit
an
electronic
comment
as
prescribed
in
this
unit,
EPA
recommends
that
you
include
your
name,
mailing
address,
and
an
email
address
or
other
contact
information
in
the
body
of
your
comment.
Also
include
this
contact

on
the
outside
of
any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and
in
any
cover
letter
accompanying
the
disk
or
CD
ROM.
This
ensures
that
you
can
be
identified
as
the
submitter
of
the
comment
and
allows
EPA
to
contact
you
in
case
EPA
cannot
read
your
comment
due
to
technical
difficulties
or
needs
further
information
on
the
substance
of
your
comment.
EPA's
policy
is
that
EPA
will
not
edit
your
comment,
and
any
identifying
or
contact
information
provided
in
the
body
of
a
comment
will
be
included
as
part
of
the
comment
that
is

public
docket,
and
made
available
in
EPA's
electronic
public
docket.
If
EPA
cannot
read
your

due
to
technical
difficulties
and
cannot
contact
you
for
clarification,
EPA
may
not
be
able
to

(
i.
e.,
a
chemical
not
on
the
TSCA
Inventory
to
notify
EPA
and
comply
with
the
statutory
provisions
pertaining
to
the
manufacture
of
new
chemicals.
Under
sections

d)(
2)
and
5(
d)(
3)
of
TSCA,
EPA
is
required
to
publish
a
notice
of
receipt
of
a
PMN
or
an
application
for
a
TME
and
to
publish
periodic
status
reports
on
the
chemicals
under
review
and
the
receipt
of
notices
of
commencement
to
manufacture
those
chemicals.
This
status
report,
which
covers
the
period
from
January
11,
2003
to
January
28,
2003,
consists
of
the
PMNs
pending
or
expired,
and
the
notices
of
commencement
to
manufacture
a
new
chemical
that
the
Agency
has
received
under
TSCA
section
5
during
this
time
period.

III.
Receipt
and
Status
Report
for
PMNs
This
status
report
identifies
the
PMNs,
both

commencement
to
manufacture
a
new
chemical
that
the
Agency
has
received
under
TSCA
section
5
during
this
time
period.
If
you
are
interested
in
information

this
period:
the
EPA
case
number
assigned
to
the
PMN;
the
date
the
PMN
was
received
by
EPA;
the

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:

Abstract
Executive
Order
13212,
signed
by
the
President
in
Washington,
DC,
on
May
18,
2001,
Actions
to
Expedite
Energy­
Related
Projects,
established
a
Federal
interagency
task
force,
chaired
by
the
Chairman,
CEQ,
to
work
with
and
monitor
Federal
Agencies
in
their
efforts
to
expedite
their
review
of
permits
or
similar
actions,
as
necessary,
to
accelerate
the
completion
of
energy
related
projects,
increase
energy
production
and
conservation,
and
improve
transmission
of
energy.
In
addition,
the
Task
Force
would
monitor
and
assist
Agencies
in
setting
up
appropriate
mechanisms
to
coordinate
Federal,
State,
tribal,
and
local
permitting
in
geographic
areas
where
increased
permitting
activity
is
expected.
The
Task
Force
worked
during
the
first
year
to
address
ongoing
permit
application
issues
for
a
wide
variety
of
energy
projects
that
were
submitted
in
response
to
the
Federal
Register
notice
published
on
August
20,
2001
(
66
FR
43586),
requesting
comments
from
the
public.
By
working
through
an
operational
approach
that
facilitated
interagency
coordination
and
addressed
impediments
to
Federal
Agencies'
finalization
of
decisions
on
energyrelated
projects,
the
Task
Force
helped
manage
the
Federal
Agency
decision
making
process
by
setting
priorities,
scheduling
activities
in
accordance
with
those
priorities,
identifying
staffing
and
resource
needs,
facilitating
issue
resolution,
and
measuring
the
achievements
of
federal
agencies
in
implementing
Executive
Order
13212.
The
experience
gained
by
the
Task
Force­
while
helping
to
streamline
decisions
about
energy­
related
projects
and
working
to
resolve
coordination
issues
 
made
it
apparent
that
to
identify
and
implement
processes
that
address
systemic
improvements
and,
where
appropriate,
regulatory
or
legislative
changes,
the
Task
Force
needed
to
be
involved
as
early
in
the
permit
process
as
possible.
This
would
allow
the
Task
Force
to
identify
impediments,
to
resolve
interagency
priority
conflicts,
to
help
incorporate
and
resolve
environmental
issues,
and
to
develop
more
streamlined
processes
at
an
earlier
stage
in
the
permit
application
decision
process.
To
that
end,
the
Council
on
Environmental
Quality
requests
suggestions
of
energy­
related
projects
that
have
either
recently
been
submitted
for
permit
approvals
or
will
be
submitted
within
nine
(
9)
months
of
this
notice
and
which
meet
the
Administration's
goal
of
providing
for
the
environmentally
sound
production
and
transmission
of
energy
to
all
