2070-AK22 201810 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2070 Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention OCSPP 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Mercury; Reporting Requirements for the TSCA Mercury Inventory

As part of EPA's continuing efforts to implement the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, which amended the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) with immediate effect upon its enactment on June 22, 2016, EPA promulgated a final rule to implement TSCA section 8(b)(10)(D) that established reporting requirements for applicable persons to provide information to assist in the preparation of an "inventory of mercury supply, use, and trade in the United States," where "mercury" is defined as "elemental mercury" and "a mercury compound." The requirements apply to any person who manufactures (including imports) mercury or mercury-added products, or otherwise intentionally uses mercury in a manufacturing process. Based on the inventory of information collected, the Agency is directed to "identify any manufacturing processes or products that intentionally add mercury; and . . . recommend actions, including proposed revisions of Federal law or regulations, to achieve further reductions in mercury use."
