ATTN: 8(a) Reporting for Chemical Substances Manufactured or Processed
as Nanoscale Materials

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This form is to be used for reporting as prescribed in 40 CFR 704.20. 
As indicated in that regulation, definitions in TSCA and 40 CFR part 704
apply.

You must provide information requested in this form to the extent it is
known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. “Known to or reasonably
ascertainable by” is defined in 40 CFR §704.3. Make reasonable
estimates if you do not have actual data.  

You must provide the currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA) Name of
the chemical substance and material characterization data described in
Part I, section C4.

As much of this form is adapted from the Premanufacture Notice (PMN)
form (EPA Form No. 7710-25), it may be instructive to read
“Instruction Manual for Reporting Under the TSCA §5 New Chemicals
Program” (available from the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Information Service, 202-554-1404, or 202-554-5603(fax) or at  
HYPERLINK "http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/pmnforms.htm" 
http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/pmnforms.htm ). 

If there are several manufacture, processing, or use operations to be
described in Part II, sections A and B of this form, reproduce the
sections as needed.

Attach additional sheets if there is not enough space to answer a
question fully.  Label each continuation sheet with the corresponding
section heading.  In Part III of this Form, list all attachments,
including any continuation sheets, any test data reports or other data
and any optional information provided.  

Only one chemical substance may be submitted per form.

Any information may be claimed as confidential.  To assert a claim on
the form, mark (X) the confidential box next to the information claimed
as confidential.  To assert a claim in an attachment, circle or bracket
the information claimed as confidential.  If information is claimed as
confidential, a sanitized version (including attachments) must be
provided with your submission and should be labeled as such.   

You are required to submit all existing data concerning the
environmental and health effects of the substance known to or reasonably
ascertainable by you.  Standard literature citations may be submitted
for data in the open scientific literature.  Submit a complete test data
report (written in English, if available), not summary data, unless the
test data report appears in the open literature.  Clearly identify
whether test data is on the chemical substance, on an analog, or from
models.  Characterize the chemical composition of the tested material.



TEST DATA   

Data must be submitted according to the requirements of 40 CFR §704.20.
 In addition, hazard and exposure test data are most useful if the
physical/chemical properties of the nanoscale material relevant to
assessing test results are obtained at the initiation of testing. 
Additional relevant information on preparation of the nanoscale material
for administration and storage history of the material between
production and administration is not required but can assist in
interpretation.  Indicate which of the following data are included in
this submission:

  FORMCHECKBOX   Physical / Chemical properties

  FORMCHECKBOX   Structure / activity relationships	    FORMCHECKBOX  
Health effects

    FORMCHECKBOX   Exposure	      FORMCHECKBOX   Environmental effects

      FORMCHECKBOX   Environmental fate



   FORMCHECKBOX  	Mark (x) if any information in your submission package
is claimed as confidential.



TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE FORM

EPA estimates that it may take, up to 175 hours to complete this form,
including time to review instructions, search existing data sources,
gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review the
collection of information. More details about the EPA estimate are
provided in the Information Collection Request identified as EPA ICR No.
2517.01, approved under OMB Control No. 2070-[tbd], a copy of which is

 For example in a composite of starch molecules between layers of clay
treated with surfactants, the starch, clay, and surfactants might be on
the TSCA Inventory, but since the interactions between the components
are weak electrical interactions, there is no single chemical substance
representing the composite as a whole.

Part III - OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION

To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket
the specific information that you claim as confidential.

In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in
this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks
associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use
and disposal of the substance.  Please include information pertinent to
pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities
and safer processes or products available due to the chemical substance.
 Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount or toxicity of
chemical wastes by technological modification, process and procedure
modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or
inventory control.  Recycling refers to the reclamation of useful
chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated or
released as air emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. 
Descriptions of pollution prevention, source reduction and recycling
should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with
existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or
qualitative.  EPA is interested in the information to assess overall net
reductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the
shifting of risks to other environmental media or non-environmental
areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure).  In addition,
information on the relative cost or performance characteristics of the
substance to potential alternatives may be provided.
