National United States Regulations 40 CFR PART 710—TSCA CHEMICAL INVENTORY REGULATIONS PART 710—TSCA CHEMICAL INVENTORY REGULATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2607(a). Subpart A—General Provisions top § 710.1 Scope and compliance. top (a) This part establishes regulations governing reporting and recordkeeping by certain persons who manufacture, import, or process chemical substances for commercial purposes under section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)) (TSCA). Section 8(a) authorizes the Administrator to require reporting of information necessary for administration of the Act and requires EPA to issue regulations for the purpose of compiling and keeping current an inventory of chemical substances manufactured or processed for a commercial purpose, as required by section 8(b) of the Act. Following an initial reporting period, EPA published an initial inventory of chemical substances manufactured, processed, or imported for commercial purposes. In accordance with section 8(b), EPA periodically amends the inventory to include new chemical substances which are manufactured or imported for a commercial purpose and reported under section 5(a)(1) of the Act. EPA also revises the categories of chemical substances and makes other amendments as appropriate. (b) The regulations in this part apply to the activities associated with the compilation of the TSCA Chemical Inventory and the update of information on a subset of the chemical substances included on the Inventory. The Inventory Update regulations were amended in 2002; however, these amendments apply to updates after 2002, not to the 2002 update. In order to prevent confusion as to which regulations apply to which update, EPA has preserved the provisions that apply to the 2002 update in subpart B. The new and revised requirements that apply to updates after 2002 appear in subpart C. Prior to January 1, 2003, the regulations in subpart B of this part are effective for purposes of Inventory update activities. As of January 1, 2003, subpart C is effective for purposes of Inventory update activities. The Agency intends to remove subpart B from the CFR once the 2002 update is complete. (c) Section 15(3) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to fail or refuse to submit information required under these reporting regulations. In addition, section 15(3) makes it unlawful for any person to fail to keep, and permit access to, records required by these regulations. Section 16 provides that any person who violates a provision of section 15 is liable to the United States for a civil penalty and may be criminally prosecuted. Pursuant to section 17, the Government may seek judicial relief to compel submission of section 8(a) information and to otherwise restrain any violation of section 15. (EPA does not intend to concentrate its enforcement efforts on insignificant clerical errors in reporting.) (d) Each person who reports under these regulations must maintain records that document information reported under these regulations and, in accordance with the Act, permit access to, and the copying of, such records by EPA officials.

[63 FR 45953, Aug. 28, 1998, as amended at 68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003] Subpart C—Inventory Update Reporting for 2006 and Beyond top Source: 68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003, unless otherwise noted. § 710.43 Definitions. top In addition to the definitions in §704.3 of this chapter and §710.3, the following definitions also apply to subpart C of this part: Commercial use means the use of a chemical substance or mixture in a commercial enterprise providing saleable goods or services (e.g., dry cleaning establishment, painting contractor). Consumer use means the use of a chemical substance that is directly, or as part of a mixture, sold to or made available to consumers for their use in or around a permanent or temporary household or residence, in or around a school, or in or around recreational areas. Industrial use means use at a site at which one or more chemical substances or mixtures are manufactured (including imported) or processed. Intended for use by children means the chemical substance or mixture is used in or on a product that is specifically intended for use by children age 14 or younger. A chemical substance or mixture is intended for use by children when the submitter answers “yes” to at least one of the following questions for the product into which the submitter's chemical substance or mixture is incorporated: (1) Is the product commonly recognized (i.e., by a reasonable person) as being intended for children age 14 or younger? (2) Does the manufacturer of the product state through product labeling or other written materials that the product is intended for or will be used by children age 14 or younger? (3) Is the advertising, promotion, or marketing of the product aimed at children age 14 or younger? Known to or reasonably ascertainable by means all information in a person's possession or control, plus all information that a reasonable person similarly situated might be expected to possess, control, or know. Master Inventory File means EPA's comprehensive list of chemical substances which constitute the Chemical Substances Inventory compiled under section 8(b) of the Act. It includes substances reported under subpart A of this part and substances reported under part 720 of this chapter for which a Notice of Commencement of Manufacture or Import has been received under §720.120 of this chapter. Readily obtainable information means information which is known by management and supervisory employees of the submitter company who are responsible for manufacturing, processing, distributing, technical services, and marketing of the reportable chemical substance. Extensive file searches are not required. Reasonably likely to be exposed means an exposure to a chemical substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment, maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.), but excludes accidental or theoretical exposures. Repackaging means the physical transfer of a chemical substance or mixture, as is, from one container to another container or containers in preparation for distribution of the chemical substance or mixture in commerce. Reportable chemical substance means a chemical substance described in §710.45. Reporting year means the calendar year in which information to be reported to EPA during an IUR submission period is generated, i.e., calendar year 2005 and the calendar year at 5–year intervals thereafter. Site-limited means a chemical substance is manufactured and processed only within a site and is not distributed for commercial purposes as a substance or as part of a mixture or article outside the site. Imported substances are never site-limited. Although a site-limited chemical substance is not distributed for commercial purposes outside the site at which it is manufactured and processed, the substance is considered to have been manufactured and processed for commercial purposes. Submission period means the period in which the information generated during the reporting year is submitted to EPA. Use means any utilization of a chemical substance or mixture that is not otherwise covered by the terms manufacture or process. Relabeling or redistributing a container holding a chemical substance or mixture where no repackaging of the chemical substance or mixture occurs does not constitute use or processing of the chemical substance or mixture. [68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003, as amended at 69 FR 40791, July 7, 2004; 70 FR 75068, Dec. 19, 2005] § 710.45 Chemical substances for which information must be reported. top Any chemical substance which is in the Master Inventory File at the beginning of a submission period described in §710.53, unless the chemical substance is specifically excluded by §710.46. § 710.46 Chemical substances for which information is not required. top The following groups or categories of chemical substances are exempted from some or all of the reporting requirements of this subpart, with the following exception: A chemical substance described in paragraph (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(4), or (b) of this section is not exempted from any of the reporting requirements of this subpart if that substance is the subject of a rule proposed or promulgated under section 4, 5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6 of the Act, or is the subject of an order issued under section 5(e) or 5(f) of the Act, or is the subject of relief that has been granted under a civil action under section 5 or 7 of the Act. (a) Full exemptions. The following categories of chemical substances are exempted from the reporting requirements of this subpart. (1) Polymers. (i) Any chemical substance described with the word fragments “*polym*”, “*alkyd”, or “*oxylated” in the Chemical Abstracts Service Index or Preferred Nomenclature in the Chemical Substance Identities section of the Master Inventory File, where the asterisk (*) indicates that any sets of characters may precede, or follow, the character string defined. (ii) Any chemical substance which is identified in the Master Inventory File as siloxane and silicone, silsesquioxane, a protein (albumin, casein, gelatin, gluten, hemoglobin), an enzyme, a polysaccharide (starch, cellulose, gum), rubber, or lignin. (iii) This exclusion does not apply to a polymeric substance that has been hydrolyzed, depolymerized, or otherwise chemically modified, except in cases where the intended product of this reaction is totally polymeric in structure. (2) Microorganisms. Any combination of chemical substances that is a living organism, and that meets the definition of “microorganism” at §725.3 of this chapter. Any chemical substance produced from a living microorganism is reportable under this subpart unless otherwise excluded. (3) Naturally occurring chemical substances. Any naturally occurring chemical substance, as described in §710.4(b). The applicability of this exclusion is determined in each case by the specific activities of the person who manufactures the substance in question. Some chemical substances can be manufactured both as described in §710.4(b) and by means other than those described in §710.4(b). If a person described in §710.48 manufactures a chemical substance by means other than those described in §710.4(b), the person must report regardless of whether the substance also could have been produced as described in §710.4(b). Any chemical substance that is produced from such a naturally occurring chemical substance described in §710.4(b) is reportable unless otherwise excluded. (4) Certain forms of natural gas. Chemical substances with the following Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Numbers: CAS No. 64741–48–6, Natural gas (petroleum), raw liquid mix; CAS No. 68919–39–1, Natural gas condensates; CAS No. 8006–61–9, Gasoline natural; CAS No. 68425–31–0, Gasoline (natural gas), natural; CAS No. 8006–14–2, Natural gas; and CAS No. 68410–63–9, Natural gas, dried. (b) Partial exemptions. The following groups of chemical substances are partially exempted from the reporting requirements of this subpart (i.e., the information described in §710.52(c)(4) need not be reported for these substances). Such chemical substances are not excluded from the other reporting requirements under this subpart. A chemical substance described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section qualifies for a partial reporting exemption during the 2006 submission period; in subsequent submission periods, the chemical substances described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section will be subject to full reporting under this subpart (i.e., all of the information described in this subpart must be reported), unless otherwise exempted. (1) Petroleum process streams. EPA has designated the following chemical substances, listed by CAS Number, as partially exempt from reporting under the IUR.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ (2) Specific exempted chemical substances—(i) Exemption. EPA has determined that, at this time, the information in §710.52(c)(4) associated with the chemicals listed in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section is of low current interest. (ii) Considerations. In making its determination of whether this partial exemption should apply to a particular chemical substance, EPA will consider the totality of information available for the chemical substance in question, including but not limited to, one or more of the following considerations: (A) Whether the chemical qualifies or has qualified in past IUR collections for the reporting of the information described in §710.52(c)(4) (i.e., at least one site manufactures 300,000 pounds or more of the chemical). (B) The chemical substance's chemical and physical properties or potential for persistence, bioaccumulation, health effects, or environmental effects (considered independently or together). (C) The information needs of EPA, other federal agencies, tribes, states, and local governments, as well as members of the public. (D) The availability of other complementary risk screening information. (E) The availability of comparable processing and use information. (F) Whether the potential risks of the chemical substance are adequately managed. (iii) Amendments. EPA may amend the chemical list in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section on its own initiative or in response to a request from the public based on EPA's determination of whether the information in §710.52(c)(4) is of low interest. (A) Any person may request that EPA amend the chemical list in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section. Your request must be in writing and must be submitted to the address provided in §710.59(d). Requests must identify the chemical in question, as well as its CAS number or other chemical identification number as identified in §710.52(c)(3)(i), and must contain a written rationale for the request that provides sufficient specific information, addressing the considerations listed in §710.46(b)(2)(ii), including cites and relevant documents, to demonstrate to EPA that the collection of the information in §710.52(c)(4) for the chemical in question either is or is not of low current interest. If a request related to a particular chemical is resubmitted, any subsequent request must clearly identify new information contained in the request. EPA may request other information that it believes necessary to evaluate the request. EPA will issue a written response to each request within 120 days of receipt of the request, and will maintain copies of these responses in a public docket that will be established for each reporting cycle. (B) As needed, the Agency will initiate rulemaking to make revisions to the list in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section. (C) To assist EPA in reaching a decision regarding a particular request prior to a given reporting year, requests must be submitted to EPA no later than 12 months prior to the start of the reporting year, i.e., by January 1, 2004, or by each January 1 at 5–year intervals thereafter. (iv) List of chemical substances. EPA has designated the following chemical substances, listed by CAS Number, as partially exempt from reporting under the IUR.

A particular NAICS code may need to be reported more than once, to the extent that a submitter reports more than one industrial function code (under paragraph (c)(4)(i)(C) of this section) that applies to a given NAICS code under this paragraph. (C) For each NAICS code reported under paragraph (c)(4)(i)(B) of this section, code(s) from the following list must be selected to designate the industrial function category(ies) that best represents the specific manner in which the chemical substance is used. A particular industrial function category may need to be reported more than once, to the extent that a submitter reports more than one industrial processing or use operation/NAICS code combination (under paragraphs (c)(4)(i)(A) and (c)(4)(i)(B) of this section) that applies to a given industrial function category under this paragraph. If more than 10 unique combinations of industrial processing or use operations/NAICS codes/industrial function categories apply to a chemical substance, submitters need only report the 10 unique combinations for the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest percentage of the submitter's production volume for that chemical, measured by weight.

Other ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (D) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of total production volume of the reportable chemical substance associated with each combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category. Where a particular combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category accounts for 5% or less of the submitter's site's total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the percentage must not be rounded off to zero % if the production volume attributable to that industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category combination is 300,000 lbs. (136,077 kg) or more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1%, of the submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable chemical substance associated with the particular combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category. (E) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category, the submitter must estimate the number of sites at which each reportable chemical substance is processed or used. For each combination associated with each substance, the submitter must select from among the ranges of sites listed in the following table and report the corresponding code (i.e., S1 through S7): Codes for Reporting Numbers of Sites ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Codes Range ------------------------------------------------------------------------ S1........................................ less than 10 sites S2........................................ at least 10 but less than 25 sites S3........................................ at least 25 but less than 100 sites S4........................................ at least 100 but less than 250 sites S5........................................ at least 250 but less than 1,000 sites S6........................................ at least 1,000 but less than 10,000 sites S7........................................ 10,000 or more sites ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (F) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial function category, the submitter must estimate the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical substance. For each combination associated with each substance, the submitter must select from among the worker ranges listed in paragraph (c)(3)(vi) of this section and report the corresponding code (i.e., W1 though W8). (ii) Commercial and consumer use information. (A) Using the codes listed in this paragraph, submitters must designate the commercial and consumer product category or categories that best describe the commercial and consumer products in which each reportable chemical substance is used (whether the recipient site(s) are controlled by the submitter site or not). If more than 10 codes apply to a chemical substance, submitters need only report the 10 codes for the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest percentage of the submitter's production volume for that chemical, measured by weight: Codes for Reporting Commercial and Consumer Product Categories ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Codes Category ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C01.......................................

Other ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (B) Submitters must determine, within each commercial and consumer product category reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, whether any amount of each reportable chemical substance manufactured (including imported) by the submitter is present in (for example, a plasticizer chemical used to make pacifiers) or on (for example, as a component in the paint on a toy) any consumer products intended for use by children up to the age of 14, regardless of the concentration of the substance remaining in or on the product. Submitters must select from the following options: the chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children, the chemical substance is not used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children, or information as to whether the chemical substance is used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children is not readily obtainable. (C) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of the submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable chemical substance associated with each commercial and consumer product category. Where a particular commercial and consumer product category accounts for 5% or less of the total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the percentage must not be rounded off to zero % if the production volume attributable to that commercial and consumer product category is 300,000 lbs. (136,077 kg) or more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1%, of the submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable chemical substance associated with the particular commercial and consumer product category. (D) Where the reportable chemical substance is used in commercial or consumer products, the estimated typical maximum concentration, measured by weight, of the chemical substance in each commercial and consumer product category reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section. For each substance in each commercial and consumer product category reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, submitters must select from among the ranges of concentrations listed in the table in paragraph (c)(3)(vii) of this section and report the corresponding code (i.e., M1 through M5). [68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003, as amended at 69 FR 40791, July 7, 2004; 70 FR 75069, Dec. 19, 2005] § 710.53 When to report. top All information reported to EPA in response to the requirements of this subpart must be submitted during an applicable submission period. The first submission period is from August 25, 2006, to December 23, 2006. Subsequent recurring submission periods are from June 1 to September 30 at 5–year intervals after the first submission period. Any person described in §710.48(a) must report during each submission period for each chemical substance described in §710.45 that the person manufactured (including imported) during the preceding calendar year (i.e., the “reporting year”). [70 FR 75069, Dec. 19, 2005] § 710.55 Duplicative reporting. top (a) With regard to section 8(a) rules. Any person subject to the requirements of this part who previously has complied with reporting requirements of a rule under section 8(a) of the Act by submitting the information described in §710.52 for a chemical substance described in §710.45 to EPA, and has done so within 1 year of the start of a submission period described in §710.53, is not required to report again on the manufacture of that substance at that site during that submission period. (b) With regard to importers. This part requires that only one report be submitted on each import transaction involving a chemical substance described in §710.45. When two or more persons are involved in a particular import transaction and each person meets the Agency's definition of “importer” as set forth in §§710.3 and 704.3 of this chapter, they may determine among themselves who should submit the required report; if no report is submitted as required under this part, EPA will hold each such person liable for failure to report. § 710.57 Reporting requirements. top Each person who is subject to the reporting requirements of this subpart must retain records that document any information reported to EPA. Records relevant to reporting during a submission period must be retained for a period of 5 years beginning on the last day of the submission period. Submitters are encouraged to retain their records longer than 5 years to ensure that past records are available as a reference when new submissions are being generated. [70 FR 75070, Dec. 19, 2005] § 710.58 Confidentiality. top (a) Any person submitting information under this subpart may assert a business confidentiality claim for the information at the time it is submitted. These claims will apply only to the information submitted with the claim. New confidentiality claims, if necessary, must be asserted with regard to information submitted during the next submission period. Guidance for asserting confidentiality claims is provided in the instruction booklet identified in §710.59. Information claimed as confidential in accordance with this section will be treated and disclosed in accordance with the procedures in part 2 of this chapter. (b) Chemical identity. A person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical identity of a specific chemical substance only if the identity of that substance is treated as confidential in the Master Inventory File as of the time the report is submitted for that substance under this subpart. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for the identity of a reportable chemical substance: (1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official. (i) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, do you think would result from the identity of the chemical substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this subpart? How could a competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and the harmful effects? (ii) How long should confidential treatment be given? Until a specific date, the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently? Why? (iii) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you granted licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to the chemical substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be treated as confidential? (iv) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept confidential to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being manufactured or imported for a commercial purpose by anyone? (v) Is the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured (including imported) for a commercial purpose available to the public, for example in technical journals, libraries, or State, local, or Federal agency public files? (vi) What measures have been taken to prevent undesired disclosure of the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured (including imported) for a commercial purpose? (vii) To what extent has the fact that this chemical substance is manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes been revealed to others? What precautions have been taken regarding these disclosures? Have there been public disclosures or disclosures to competitors? (viii) Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as product, effluent, emission? If so, what measures have been taken to guard against the discovery of its identity? (ix) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a product that is available to the public or your competitors, can the substance be identified by analysis of the product? (x) For what purpose do you manufacture (including import) the substance? (xi) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical substance? If so, please attach copies of such determinations. (2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions listed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section is asserted to contain confidential business information, the submitter must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page with a label such as “confidential business information,” “proprietary,” or “trade secret.” (c) Site identity. A submitter may assert a claim of confidentiality for a site only if the linkage of the site with a reportable chemical is confidential and not publicly available. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for a site identity: (1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official: (i) Has site information been linked with a chemical identity in any other Federal, state or local reporting scheme? For example, is the chemical identity linked to a facility in a filing under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 311, namely through a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)? If so, identify all such schemes. Was the linkage claimed as confidential in any of these instances? (ii) What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position do you think would result from the identity of the site and the chemical substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this subpart? How could a competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and the harmful effects? (2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this section is asserted to contain confidential business information, the submitter must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page with a label such as “confidential business information,” “proprietary,” or “trade secret.” (d) If no claim of confidentiality is indicated on the reporting form submitted to EPA under this subpart, or if confidentiality claim substantiation required under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section is not submitted with the reporting form, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to the submitter.
