Title: TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Modifications 
Abstract: The Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule enables EPA to procure basic information on commercial chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), resulting in a unique database that includes current production volume, manufacturing site-related data, and processing and use-related data for larger volume chemicals. This broad-based collection of manufacturing and use-exposure-related data provides basic information needed for risk prevention and management activities. The recent 2006 IUR submission period was the first since major amendments to the IUR were promulgated in 2003; for the next reporting in 2011, the IUR Modifications will make a variety of adjustments. The adjustments are expected to include: migration of the IUR from 40 CFR 710 to 711, somewhat minor changes to data reporting requirements, possible changes to exemptions for certain chemical substances, and technical corrections. In addition, the workgroup will consider changes associated with the reporting of recycled chemical substances and imported chemical substances.
