        <RULE_TITLE>TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Modifications</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On August 16, 2011, EPA promulgated a final rule that amended the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule and changed its name to the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule. The purpose of this rule is to collect quality screening-level, exposure-related information on chemical substances and to make that information available for use by EPA and, to the extent possible, to the public. The IUR/CDR data are used to support risk screening, assessment, priority setting and management activities and constitute the most comprehensive source of basic screening-level, exposure-related information on chemicals available to EPA.

EPA uses the data to support many health, safety, and environmental protection activities. Processing and use information reported in 2012 will help EPA, other agencies, and the general public to readily screen and prioritize chemicals for the purpose of identifying potential human health and environmental effects. Returning the reporting period from every 5 years to every 4 years will assure that the public has timely access to current and improved data. This information will also provide the American people with greater access to a wide range of information on those chemicals to which their children and families are exposed every day. The requirement for improved data will enhance the Agencys ability to more effectively identify and address potential chemical risks.

The next CDR submission period for reporting for the 2012 CDR is February 1, 2012, to June 30, 2012. The CDR regulation requires all companies to report data electronically using a web-based reporting tool and EPAs Central Data Exchange. Manufacturers (including importers) are required to report full manufacturing data for calendar year 2011 and production volume only for calendar year 2010 for all reportable chemical substances when 2011 site-specific production volume equals or exceeds 25,000 lb. Manufacturers, (including importers) are required to report processing and use data for calendar year 2011, for all reportable chemical substances when 2011 site-specific production volume equals or exceeds 100,000 lbs.]]></ABSTRACT>
