EPA promulgated a final rule that requires electronic reporting for information that must be submitted under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 4 (pursuant to test rules and enforceable consent agreements (ECAs)), TSCA section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR), and TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rules. Additionally, EPA updated certain TSCA section 5 reporting regulations that would extend electronic reporting requirements to Notices of Commencement of Manufacture or Import (NOCs) and support documents (e.g., correspondence, amendment, and test data) relating to TSCA section 5 notices submitted to EPA before April 6, 2010.
This rule-related Information Collection Request (ICR) addresses the incremental paperwork activities related to submitting sections 4, 5, 8(a) PAIR, and 8(d) data, reports, and other documents to EPA electronically and describes the changes that will ultimately be incorporated into the ICRs upon their renewal date that are currently approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0033, No. 2070-0012, No. 2070-0054, No. 2070-0004, and 2070-0012. (EPA ICR No. 1139.08 TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, Consent Orders, Test Rule Exemptions, and Voluntary Data Submission; EPA ICR No. 0574 Premanufacture Review Reporting and Exemption Requirements for New Chemical Substances and Significant New Use Reporting Requirements for Chemical Substances; EPA ICR No. 0586.11, TSCA 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR); EPA ICR No. 0575.12 Health and Safety Data Reporting, Submission of Lists and Copies of Health and Safety Studies; and EPA ICR No. 0574.15 Pre-Manufacture Review Reporting and Exemption Requirements for New Chemical Substances and Significant New Use Reporting Requirements for Chemical Substances, respectively).
In addition, OPPT initiated a voluntary pilot program to accept certain health and safety data submissions in an electronic format. The voluntary use of a cover sheet facilitates the submission of information by displaying certain basic data elements, permitting EPA more easily to identify, log, track, distribute, review and index submissions, and makes information publicly available to the mutual benefit of both industry and EPA. The specific reporting form used by this information collection is known as the TSCA Health & Safety Study Cover Sheet (EPA Form No. 7710-58). This rule-related ICR incorporates the data elements captured in the voluntary form and addresses the incremental paperwork activities related to submitting the form electronically and describes the changes that will be incorporated into the existing ICR approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0156 (EPA ICR No. 1780.05 Voluntary Cover Sheet for TSCA Submissions).
EPA estimates that industry will incur a total of 1,228 hours in one-time burden as a result of new activities stemming from mandatory electronic reporting requirements. These new activities include rule familiarization, CDX registration, and CDX electronic signature agreements.
