Abstract:
The Partial Update of the TSCA Section 8(b) Inventory Data Base, Production and Site Reports, based on the TSCA Inventory Update Rule (IUR), is an information collection that takes place every four years, requiring manufacturers and importers of organic chemicals and other chemicals subject to final or proposed TSCA rules, regulations and orders to provide facility-specific information on chemicals. Respondents must provide manufacturing, processing, and use exposure-related data, including the volume of the chemical substance used on the reporting site; the volume of the chemical substance directly exported; whether the chemical substance is being recycled, remanufactured, reprocessed or reused; and the production volume above a certain threshold for each of the preceding calendar years. Respondents to the IUR are required to use e-CDRweb (the Agency-provided reporting tool) to submit a completed Form U (EPA Form 7740-8) electronically via the Internet. The data obtained under this collection helps EPA identify what chemicals the public may be exposed to as consumers or in commercial and industrial settings and to better assess routes of potential exposure to those chemicals. The Agency is thereby able to identify, assess, and control potential risks to human health and the environment posed by commercial chemical substances.
