Abstract: This information collection request addresses the paperwork requirements contained in the most recent Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule under the TSCA. Under TSCA section 8(a), EPA is authorized to collect certain information on chemical substances manufactured (including imported) or processed in the United States. The CDR was formerly known as the Inventory Update Rule (IUR). The CDR collection provides chemical manufacture, processing, and use information that helps EPA identify what chemicals the public may be exposed to as consumers or in commercial and industrial settings. The data also help EPA assess routes of potential exposure to those chemicals. Beginning in 1986, EPA has used the CDR rule eight times to collect basic manufacturing information for selected chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory. More recent collections, beginning in 2006, included additional information relating to the manufacture, processing, and use of those chemical substances. The reporting requirements have been modified through rulemaking, with the most recent major changes occurring in 2020 when EPA promulgated the TSCA Chemical Data Reporting Revisions Under TSCA Section 8(a) rule (85 FR 20122, April 9, 2020) (FRL1000556) and the Small Manufacturer Definition Update for Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the TSCA Section 8(a) (85 FR 31986, May 28, 2020) (FRL 1000814). The 2020 revisions included a phase-in approach for some of its provisions. All provisions will be fully implemented for the 2024 CDR reporting cycle. The changes are described on EPAs CDR web page, at: https://www.epa.gov/chemical-datareporting/summary-reportingrequirement-changes-due-cdr-revisionsand-small, The CDR collection is on a four-year reporting cycle and contains detailed manufacturing, processing, and use information drawn from the principal reporting year; the rule also contains basic information on production volume, by year, for the three years prior to the principal reporting year (e.g., for the 2024 reporting cycle, the principal reporting year will be 2023; the three years prior will be 2020, 2021, and 2022). EPA uses the CDR data in its chemical substance risk-management efforts and for other uses. Individual sites manufacturing (including importing) chemical substances will submit the required information. The information will be stored electronically for reference by EPA staff and others. Within the constraints of confidentiality claims, the information will be made public through the Agency's website: https://www.epa.gov/chemical-datareporting. Further discussion on how the information is used, stored, and collected is included in this document.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase of 19,432 hours in the total estimated burden compared with that approved by OMB from the 2018 ICR renewal. This increase reflects a combination of reporting requirement changes including changes to the information reported (+44,734 hours) and changes to the number of reporters (-25,302 hours) due to byproduct exemptions and an updated small manufacturer definition, which were included in two ICR addendums approved by OMB in 2020.
