INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUFACTURER’S REPORT FORM
PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
What chemicals to report – This form applies to substances that are listed in 40 CFR 712.30.
Do not report on listed chemical substances if these are manufactured or imported incidentally as
a byproduct, non-isolated intermediate, or impurity.
A byproduct or co-product must be reported if it's marketed or used as a subject (listed)
chemical.
Do not report a listed chemical substance if it is a component of a mixture (imported or
manufactured). Note, though, that the mixture itself may be listed as a reportable substance.
Reporting is required, however, if the chemical is manufactured separately by a given company,
and then blended into a mixture. In such a case, the blending step(s) would be reported as
processing activities. Reporting is also required if the manufactured or imported chemical is (1)
in aqueous solution; (2) in a solution containing an additive (such as a stabilizer or other
chemical) to maintain the integrity or physical form of the substance; or (3) present in any grade
or purity.
Reporting Period – Enter the months and years beginning and ending the 12-month period for
which you report (e.g., July 81 - June 82). This reporting period is listed with the chemical
substance in 40 CFR 712.30.
Who must report – Manufacturers and importers must report. See 40 CFR 712.25 for
exemptions from reporting. In addition to the actual synthesis of a compound, all refining,
extracting, and purifying activities of a listed chemical substance are considered manufacturing
activities under Section 3(7) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2602(7)). Reporting is required for all
companies involved in any of these activities.
Repackaging is considered a processing activity and should not be reported as manufacture. A
company that only repackages a listed chemical substance is considered only a processor. Note,
however, that if the company imports the chemical prior to repackaging it is considered a
manufacturer and must report.
How many forms to complete – For each chemical, complete a separate form for each plant site
that manufactured the chemical.
If a site manufactured and imported the chemical, report both manufacture and import data on a
single form.
A company that imported the chemical, but did not process the imported quantity or manufacture
an additional quantity, may submit a separate form for each import site or may submit a single
form with the total data for all import sites.
Who may submit forms – Companies may choose to complete and submit forms to EPA from
each plant site directly, or through company headquarters.

IV. PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
TSCA Regulable Quantities – Except under items 4 and 5, do not report any quantity of
chemical substance that is manufactured or processed solely for use as: a pesticide; tobacco or
any tobacco product; any source material, special nuclear material, or byproduct material (as
terms defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and regulations issued under such Act);
firearms or ammunition; or food, food additives, drug, cosmetic, or device (as such terms are
defined in section 201 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act). The above are not TSCA
regulable.
Some of the chemical substances are manufactured for both TSCA and non-TSCA regulable
purposes. If a chemical from a given manufacturing stream is solely for a non-TSCA use, no
reporting is required. However, if a company produces a chemical from the same stream that
will be used for both TSCA and non-TSCA purposes, the total quantity must be reported under
items 4 and 5. Note that the quantity produced for TSCA purposes only is entered under item 2.

PART A: PLANT SITE ACTIVITIES
Accuracy – For each item, provide numbers that represent your best estimates based on readily
obtainable data.
Item 1 – Enter the total quantity of the chemical substance imported in bulk during the reporting
period. For a given compound, if a company is not involved in any manufacturing activity, and
imports a chemical at one site and processes it at another facility, answers need to be provided
only for item 1 and items 9 through 11 (Part B). Note that the transfer of chemical to another site
of the same company for processing is treated as if it were a customer use.
Item 2 – Enter the total quantity of chemical domestically manufactured for TSCA use during
the reporting period, not counting the losses reported in item 3.
Item 3a–3d – In 3a, report the total quantity lost in manufacture of the substance during the
reporting period. Report only routine losses. Do not report unusual spills or accidents. In
calculating estimates for quantities not recovered you may: (1) use measured losses, if available,
or emission factors and other calculated releases from individual sources; or (2) if these are not
available, or only account for a portion of the total loss, you may make a simple mass balance
estimate of the expected yield minus actual yield, where actual yield is the value reported in item
2. This quantity in 3a should then be broken down into three categories below (i.e., 3b + 3c + 3d
= 3a). Specify the accuracy you report for 3b, 3c, and 3d, e.g., 1000 kg ± 30%.
3b. Quantity lost to the environment – This covers fugitive emissions to the atmosphere
and other losses not described in 3c and 3d.
3c. Quantity in wastes treated to destroy the chemical.

EPA Form 7710-35 (01/2005)

Page 4 of 10

3d. Quantity in wastes not treated to destroy the chemical – This includes, for example,
any quantity disposed of in a landfill, surface impoundment, municipal sewage, or
storage.
Items 4–7 – Items 4–7 in part A require you to describe the manufacturing process and your use
of the chemical in terms of the number of workers and quantity of substance associated with
three process categories. Three process categories are described below, followed by instructions
for calculating quantities, worker-hours, and number of workers. Additional instructions
concerning items 4 through 7 are also listed.

PROCESS CATEGORIES
Enclosed Process – The process is designed and operated so that there is no intentional release
of the chemical. In this process category, only fugitive or inadvertent releases occur and special
measures are taken to prevent worker exposure and environmental contamination. “Special
measures” refer to procedures and equipment that are monitored and used to prevent worker
exposure, and scrubbers and other recovery equipment employed to prevent environmental
release. Equipment with emergency pressure relief venting would be allowed in this category;
routine venting would not. With regard to handling the manufactured chemical, persons who
handle closed packages containing the material would be counted under “enclosed process.”
Person who package or transfer the unpackaged chemical would be counted in one of the
following categories.
Controlled Release Process – The process is operated in a controlled manner to minimize the
release of the chemical into the workplace. Release should generally be within prescribed limits.
These limits may be dictated by government regulations or by company guidelines. If the
chemical is vented outside the plant, the process is a “controlled release” process. Do not count
general space ventilation fans.
Open Process – The chemical is routinely in direct contact with the atmosphere (workplace or
outside the plant) and no measures are taken to prevent release. Routine direct contact would be
associated, for example, with reaction vessels that are open vats, the transport or storage of the
chemical in open containers (even in an otherwise enclosed process), and the venting of a
chemical freely into the workplace atmosphere.

QUANTITIES
Process Category – Enter the greatest quantity that is processed in each process category. If
there is more than one process stream, calculate each stream separately and then add the values
for each process category. If a quantity of the chemical passes in a series through an enclosed
process and then passes through an open process, the same quantity would be reported twice,
once under each process category. (The sum of these quantities may be greater than 100% of the
total quantity manufactured.)

(The open process amount is the total of the maximum quantity in the open process category
from each grade.)
Total Quantity – For items 5, 6, and 7, enter the total quantity processed in all process
categories. (This total may be less than the sum of the quantities reported n the individual
process categories.)

WORKER-HOURS
Worker-hours may be calculated for a given process category by multiplying the average number
of full-time employees needed for the operation by the number of hours operating annually.
Alternatively, worker-hour information may be taken from preexisting information source such
as resource planning or budget figures.

WORKERS
Report the total number of workers for each process category. Workers are counted in a process
category if (1) they are directly involved in manufacturing, processing, and handling the
chemical during the reporting period or (2) they are regularly assigned maintenance or inspection
EPA Form 7710-35 (01/2005)

Page 6 of 10

personnel who work with the process from a remote control room, and who do not regularly
come in contact with the actual chemical stream, are not to be counted unless their exposure to
the chemical stream is greater than or equal to that of regularly assigned inspection and
maintenance workers. If only control room workers are associated with a process, and their
exposure to the chemical stream is less than that of regularly assigned inspection and
maintenance workers, the company must nevertheless report the process categories associated
with the manufacture and on-site use of the chemical (column 3 in items 4 through 7). The
number of workers and total worker-hours however may be listed as zero.
Three process categories are described in the form: enclosed, controlled release, and open. A
worker should be counted as working with only one process category. If he operates several
process types, count him under the one with which he spends the most time. If he spends an
equal amount of time with several, count him under the most open process.
Example 3 – A company manufactured 1,000,000 kg of a chemical substance in 1980. It
manufactured the chemical for all twelve months of the year and did so in an enclosed process.
In order to run the production line, ten (10) workers were present working 40 hour weeks; thus
over the course of the year 20,800 worker-hours were used to run the production line.
Over the course of the year, twelve (12) different workers worked on the production of the
chemical.
The form would then be filled out as follows:

Example 4 – A company manufactured 1,000,000 kg of a chemical substance in 1980. It
manufactured the chemical for the entire year in a 24 hour/day process consisting of three steps
in the open, controlled release, and open process categories. The production line was shut down
for maintenance for 2 weeks of the years. The production line had three 8-hour shifts. Each shift
in step 1 required 5 workers, while 7 and 10 workers were needed per shift in steps 2 and 3,
respectively. The total worker-hours required for each step follows:

Process category
Open (Step 1)
Controlled (step 2)

Analysis of the personnel records showed that a total of 75 individuals worked on the production
of the chemical during 1980. After examining the personnel records, the company was able to
fill in the following table:
Process category
Open (Step 1)
Controlled (step 2)
Open (step 3)

Total workers

Note that some workers are not double counted or “split” even though some jobs may require
moving from one step of the process to another step of the same process. An employee working
on both step 1 and step 2 is counted only in step 1 if he/she spends most of his time at that step.
After adding together steps in the same process category, the company would report as follows:

Item 4 – This item applies to the manufacture of the chemical substance and includes all steps to
ready the chemical for further processing or use.
Item 5 – This item applies to the use of the chemical at your plant site as a reactant in the
manufacture of another chemical substance, where the molecular structure of the chemical is
altered by breaking chemical bonds or making new chemical bonds between the original
substance and some other substance. Report on all processing up to and including the actual
reaction step and any ancillary steps which recycle unreacted chemicals back to the reactor
vessel. Do not report on subsequent activities in this question.
Item 6 – Report the quantity of the chemical substance that you use on site. Examples include
cleaning solvents, dielectric fluids, emulsifiers, and lubricants. Do not report any quantity that
you react to make a product.
Item 7 – Report the quantity of the chemical substance that you process at the manufacturing site
into products for on site use or sale. (Note that this does not include manufacture of the chemical
substance; this is reported in item 4 above.) This items does not include the quantity of chemical
substance that you incorporate into a mixture or article. Report the steps up to and including
incorporation of the chemical into an article; do not include any further processing of the article.
Item 8 – Report the quantity of the chemical substance that you prepare for commercial
distribution in each of the product types in 8a to 8g. Do not include any quantity of chemical
substance that your customers will further process. This will be reported in item 9.
In items 8a to 8f, report the quantity of the chemical substance in products that are for domestic
use. If you are uncertain about whether your products are for domestic or foreign use, report
them as domestic.
EPA Form 7710-35 (01/2005)

Page 8 of 10

The products are divided into industrial and consumer products. “Industrial” means the
manufacturing and service industries covered by the North American Industry Classification
System codes. Products meant to be used primarily by the general population are considered to
be “consumer” products. The following definition from the Consumer Product Safety Act can be
used as a guide (15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(1)): “The term ‘consumer product’ means any article, or
component part thereof, produced or distributed (i) for sale to a consumer for use in or around a
permanent or temporary household or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise, or (ii) for
the personal use consumption or enjoyment of a consumer in or around a permanent or
temporary household or residence, a school, in recreation, or otherwise.” If you are uncertain
about whether your products are industrial or consumer, report them as consumer.
Three types of industrial and consumer product types are described below.
“Chemical substance or mixture” means a chemical, or mixture containing the chemical, that
is used directly by the persons using the product, e.g., cleaners, paints, inks, deodorizers,
solvents, etc. This includes chemicals or mixtures in containers or other articles whose purpose
is to release the chemical (e.g., cans of spray paint, ink pens, and other applicators).
“Articles or products with no release” are articles constructed to prevent human exposure to or
release to the environment of the chemical substance during normal use and storage (e.g.,
chemical coatings on internal components, and chemicals inside sealed articles as in
thermometers and batteries).
“Articles or products with some release” are articles whose material components are made of
chemicals which come in direct contact with persons using the article, the atmosphere, land or
water; e.g., exposure can come from leaching evaporation, or surface contact. This includes such
articles as plastic containers, chemically treated textiles, printed paper, coated appliances, etc. If
the chemical itself is sold in a bottle or other container it should be reported under “Chemical
substance or mixture,” not as an article. Only the container itself is an article for purposes of this
form; the substance it contains is not a component of an article.
In item 8g, report the quantity of chemical substance that you export directly either as the
chemical or contained in mixtures or articles.
Item 9 – Estimate the quantity of the chemical substance that your customers process for each of
the uses listed in items 9a to 9h. (Do not include the quantity of chemical substances that your
customers will use without further processing; that quantity should be reported in item 8a or 8d.)
For items 9a to 9g, follow the same directions as for 8a to 8g.
For item 9h, report the quantity of chemical substance for which your customers’ uses are
unknown.
Report your best estimate for items 9a to 9h within ± 50%. If you cannot estimate an item to this
degree of accuracy, include the quantity in item 9i. You may report “unknown” if the data
would reveal information subject to a confidentiality agreement between you and your
customers.
EPA Form 7710-35 (01/2005)

Page 9 of 10

Item 10 – If you report your customers’ uses as unknown (item 9i above) for more than 20% of
the total quantity that you manufacture and import (items 1 and 2 above) list the names under
which you distribute the chemical substance.
This item will allow EPA, if necessary, to find out about the chemical uses you have reported as
“unknown” by requiring processors of your products to report directly to us.
Item 11 – This item addresses your general knowledge of the process types your customers use
to process the chemical. Estimate the quantity of the chemical that your customers process in
each of the three process categories. Specify “unknown” if you do not know to within ± 50%.
