Abstract: Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(e) states, any person who manufactures, [imports,] processes, or distributes in commerce a chemical substance or mixture and who obtains information which reasonably supports the conclusion that such substance or mixture presents a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment shall immediately inform the [EPA] Administrator of such information unless such person has actual knowledge that the Administrator has been adequately informed of such information. (15 U.S.C. 2607(e); see Ref.1.) EPA receives and screens TSCA section 8(e) submissions including a wide range of chemical toxicity/exposure information on numerous chemical substances and mixtures. Although EPAs receipt of TSCA section 8(e) information does not necessarily trigger immediate regulatory action under TSCA or other authorities administered by EPA, all TSCA section 8(e) submissions receive screening level evaluations by EPAs Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) to identify priorities for further Agency action and appropriate referrals to other programs. EPA offers an electronic reporting option for those required to submit a notification of substantial risk under TSCA section 8(e) and those who wish to voluntarily submit For Your Information (FYI) notices by registering and submitting information electronically using the Agency's Central Data Exchange (CDX). TSCA section 8(e) data on newly discovered chemical hazards/risks are available via EPAs ChemView website (https://chemview.epa.gov/chemview).
