Title: Electronic Reporting Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
Abstract: EPA proposed to require electronic reporting of certain information that must be submitted under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). Under this proposal, EPA would require that test data developed under a TSCA section 4 test rule or an enforceable consent agreements, TSCA section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) information, and TSCA section 8(d) health and safety data be submitted electronically. In addition, EPA also proposed amendments to TSCA section 5 reporting regulations at 40 CFR 720, 40 CFR 723, and 40 CFR 725 to require electronic reporting for Notices of Commencement of Manufacture of Import (NOCs) and support documents (e.g., correspondence, amendments, test data) relating to TSCA section 5 notices submitted to EPA prior to April 6, 2010, the effective date of the electronic-PMN final rule. This action is intended to streamline the reporting process, reduce the administrative costs associated with submission and recordkeeping required for the rules, and establish standards for using EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), which provides a single portal to enable electronic submission of forms, reports, and other documents to the Agency.
