PMN Status

When EPA receives your PMN form, you will be sent an acknowledgement letter that includes the PMN number assigned to your submission and the date the PMN review began. PMN submitters should expect to receive a letter from EPA providing the Day 1 for their notice was within 7-10 days after receipt of their submission by the Agency. If the Agency has any concerns about the substances, you will be notified before the end of the review period. Otherwise, you will receive no subsequent notification, and you are free to manufacture or import the substance the day after the review period ends.

Many submitters want to know what is happening for their substances at intermediate points in the review process. As noted in the process description, a tentative decision to drop consideration for a substance can be made well before the end of the review period. Current status reports on notices submitted to EPA under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) are posted to the status page within 14 days of the decision being made. You can access a report directly or you can contact the TSCA Hotline on (voice) 202-554-1404, (fax) 554-5603, and they will access this status page for you. Please note that even though a "drop" decision may already have been made early in the review period, under TSCA that decision remains tentative until the review period ends, and you may not manufacture before the time period (the length of which is set by statute) has expired.
