Abstract: This information collection request addresses the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with both the new chemicals review and regulatory program and the existing chemicals program administered by EPA under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (the Lautenberg Act) (15 U.S.C. 2604). EPA is requesting to renew and consolidating two existing approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs). This consolidated ICR will cover information collection activities associated with Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) for both new and existing chemicals under TSCA. The information for SNURs and required notifications includes chemical identity, use and exposure information, test information and descriptions of other information related to the effects on health and the environment of the manufacture, processing, use, distribution in commerce and disposal of the new or existing chemical substance. This ICR is required for the information to be collected under notices for Significant New Use Rules for new and existing chemicals.
