         | > SUMMARY 1.1 Background Chevron Corporation submitted
         | premanufacture notices (PMN) for eighteen waste plastic fuel
         | streams, P-21-0144 through 0150, P-21-0152 through, and
         | P-21-0160 through 0163). These new chemical substances (NCSs)
         | are complex mixtures. They are manufactured concurrently with
         | petroleum streams and have identical composition; the only
         | difference is that the feedstocks are waste plastic-based
         | sources rather than petroleum-based sources. The intended uses
         | are as fuels, fuel components, and chemical intermediates or
         | refinery feedstocks
