PMN Fees
What is the fee for submitting?
The fee for most PMN submissions is $2,500.00. The fee is reduced under certain conditions: (1) if your company qualifies as a small business (sales, including those of subsidiary/parent companies, are less than $40 million/year), the fee is $100.00; (2) if a PMN for an intermediate substance is submitted with a final product PMN, the fee for the intermediate substance is $1,000.00; and (3) if a consolidated PMN, as approved by a prenotice coordinator, is filed for multiple chemicals (no more than six) that are related, the total fee is $2,500, except that for a small business it is $100.00.
When several product PMNs have been consolidated, the Agency will consider consolidation for intermediates used in their syntheses where those intermediates are used at parallel stages in their syntheses.
For information about PMN fees see 40 CFR Section 700, or contact the TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) Assistance Information Service (tsca-hotline@epa.gov).
How do you submit PMN fees?
Fees can be submitted by check or paid by credit card. EPA has not yet enabled procedures to accept wire transfers but we expect to do so soon.
To send checks:
The bank that formerly provided "lock box" services accepting TSCA section 5 Premanufacture Notice user fees (Mellon Bank, Pittsburgh, PA) has been changed; we are now using US Bank in St Louis Missouri. User fees sent to the Pittsburgh post office box address listed in 40 CFR 700.45(e) are no longer being forwarded to the new lock box service at the address below. Please use this new address for future user fee payments.

To pay by credit card, using the US Treasury Pay.gov program:
The New Chemicals program can accept payments made through the Pay.gov program of the US Treasury. Pay.gov can be a mechanism for paying using a credit card. Pay.gov has generated a form for paying TSCA fees. The form can be found on the Agency List at the Pay.gov homepage, as well.
