The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, required EPA to designate chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory as either “active” or “inactive” in U.S. commerce. To accomplish that, EPA finalized a rule, the TSCA Inventory Notification (Active-Inactive) Requirements Rule (“Active-Inactive Rule”) requiring industry reporting of chemicals manufactured (including imported) or processed in the U.S. over the past 10 years, ending on June 21, 2016. 82 FR 37520 (8/11/17). Included in the Active-Inactive Rule were provisions for the submission of confidential business information (CBI). Submitters were required to substantiate all CBI claims made in that data collection, except for chemical substance identity. If the chemical was reported pursuant a retrospective reporting requirement, submitters had an option to voluntarily substantiate the CBI claim; if the chemical was reported pursuant a prospective reporting requirement, the submitters had to substantiate the CBI claim at the time of filing.

This is a new data collection activity resulting from the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, which requires additional responsibilities of EPA in maintaining the TSCA Inventory, and imposes reporting requirements on regulated entities wishing to maintain claims of confidentiality for chemical substance identity. Specific to this SNRPM, EPA is addressing substantiation requirements pertaining to reverse engineering in response to a recent court ruling remanding the Active-Inactive Rule by adding two additional substantiation questions. As such, the change being implemented in this ICR period is the addition of new burden and cost for activities associated with the two new questions, as presented in Table 1. The total burden to industry for this ICR period is 0.4 hours occurring on an annual basis after the rule is enacted.
