(Note: Do not mail these instructions with your submission)

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice

The annual public burden for this collection of information is estimated
to average 30 minutes per response, including the time needed for
reading the instructions and completing the necessary information
contained in this form.  Send comments regarding the burden estimate or
any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing the burden to: Director, Collection Strategies
Division, Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20460.  Include OMB number 2070-0156 in
any correspondence.  Do not send the completed form to this address. 
The actual information or form should be submitted in accordance with
the instructions specified in the corresponding regulations

General Instructions

(	This voluntary cover sheet was designed to serve as a tool for
industry and EPA in the preparation, processing, review, and
availability of TSCA information, and as an alternative for cover
letters to TSCA submissions.

(	As with all EPA submissions, follow applicable EPA regulations and
guidance in submitting the information.

(	A check box at the top has been provided to indicate if there is
confidential business information (CBI).  Check this box if the page
contains information that is confidential.  For information what can be
claimed confidential under TSCA refer to TSCA section 14, 40 CFR Part 2
Sub-Part B and other applicable EPA and TSCA guidance.  If the page
contains CBI, clearly mark the information with bracketing.  Check the
box "Contains CBI" in the appropriate section.  Submit another cover
sheet with the CBI deleted and mark "Public Display Copy" in the
heading.

(	Under TSCA reporting requirements, a submission may contain multiple
studies.  A cover sheet should be completed for each study in the
submission and go to box 2.4 and add Study 1 of 1 for a submission
having a single study, Study 1 of x, Study 2 of x, etc. (for a
submission having multiple or x number of studies).

(	A cover sheet is unnecessary for submissions containing no health and
safety data.  Examples of submissions with no health and safety data
include: section 4-related correspondence on issues of different test
protocols; section 8(e) or FYI voluntary actions of submitters to reduce
exposures; information on chemical use or commercial status;
substantiation for submitting FYI vs. 8(e).  If a submission is related
to a previous submission, please reference the EPA assigned Document ID
for PMN, 8(e) and FYI submissions (PMN, 8EHQ and FYI numbers).  For
other submissions, please reference the EPA Document Control Number
(DCN) or Study title with submission date.  The EPA will provide the
Document ID as well as the DCN when acknowledging PMNs, 8(e)s and FYIs.

If additional space is needed in any of the sections of the Cover Sheet,
please check the "continuation sheet attached" box in the appropriate
section and attach a Continuation Sheet (a standardized continuation
sheet has been provided; it is titled 9.0 Continuation Sheet).

INSTRUCTIONS - continued page 2

(	It is important to indicate if a study/submission is initial,
follow-up or final.  An initial submission is for a given chemical/case
identified or initiated by a company.  A follow-up or a supplement is a
submission which contains information specifically requested by EPA
(Follow-up) or information related to a previous submission but not
specifically requested by EPA (Supplement).

(	Please attach to the cover sheet package an abstract or summary for
each study prepared by or for the submitter, if available, and check the
box "YES" under section 2.1.  Otherwise check the box "NO". [Note: a
summary/abstract is required under 8(e).]

(	Space is provided in section 8.0 for the submitter to provide any
additional study interpretation, comments, etc which could immediately
assist in EPA(s screening and review of the study/submission.  A
continuation sheet may be attached.

(	If any information in the cover sheet is unknown, write "unknown."  If
it is not applicable write "N.A."  Provide written explanation if
appropriate.

Detailed Instructions For Completing Cover Sheet

identified or initiated by a company.  A follow-up or a supplement is a
submission which contains information specifically requested by EPA
(Follow-up) or information related to a previous submission but not
specifically requested by EPA (Supplement).

3.0 Chemical/Test Substance Identity - If additional space is required
for any chemical identity data element, check the continuation box and
attach a continuation sheet appropriately identifying the relevant
specific data element and referencing the study/submission.  Enter the
CAS# of the chemical for the specific study of the cover sheet.  Enter
the chemical name; specify nomenclature if other than CAS name.  Enter
the % purity if impurities are present, leave blank if unknown.  Check
one of three boxes indicating if the chemical is a single ingredient
(e.g., 100% NaCl), technical grade product (e.g., 50% NaOH solution), or
mixture (e.g., perfume formula with many ingredients).  Enter the trade
names and common names for the material if applicable.  If the test
substance contains more than one chemical, list the components by CAS
number, name, and % weight in the mixture.  Submitters are requested to
provide informative generic chemical names for substances whose chemical
identity has been claimed TSCA confidential business information.

the title of any specific study subsection; if insufficient space, check
the continuation box and attach a continuation sheet with the complete
title.

5.1 Study/TSCATS Indexing Terms - Check either Health Effects,
Environmental Effects, or Environmental Fate - check only one.

5.2 Study/TSCATS Indexing Terms - See the attached Study Indexing Terms
Sheet.  Find appropriate (checked) Study Type and select relevant,
detailed Study Type (for HE, EE, EF), Subject Organism (HE, EE only),
Route of Exposure (HE only), and Vehicle (HE only, if applicable);
transfer the 4-letter TSCATS code to the cover sheet.  If an appropriate
indexing term is not available, check other box and clearly print
description.

6.0 Report/Study Information - If additional space is required for any
study information data, check the continuation box and attach a
