EPA Releases Quarterly New Chemicals Update

## Summary

The EPA is sharing updates on new chemicals submitted for review between February and April 2026. Companies making or importing these chemicals need to know about the review status and have until July 23, 2026, to send in comments. This keeps everyone in the loop and helps protect people and the environment without slowing down innovation.

## Abstract

This document announces the Agency's receipt of new chemical submissions under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), including information about the receipt of a Premanufacture Notice (PMN), Significant New Use Notice (SNUN), Microbial Commercial Activity Notice (MCAN), and an amendment to a previously submitted notice; test information; a biotechnology exemption application; an application for a test marketing exemption (TME); and a notice of commencement of manufacture (defined by statute to include import) (NOC) for a new chemical substance. This document also provides a periodic status report on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently concluded review. EPA is hereby providing notice of receipt of this information, as required by TSCA, and an opportunity to comment. This document covers new chemical submissions that have passed an initial screening and, for PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs, were determined to be complete during the period from 04/1/2026 to 04/ 30/2026 regardless of initial submission date.
