SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
II. What information collection activity
or ICR does this action apply to?
Title: Chemical Data Reporting under
the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA).
EPA ICR No.: 1884.17.
OMB Control No.: 2070–0162.
ICR Status: This ICR is currently
approved through October 31, 2026.
Under the PRA, an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2026 / Notices
The OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations in title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: This information collection
request (ICR) addresses the paperwork
requirements contained in the current
Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule
under the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA). Under TSCA section 8(a) (15
U.S.C. 2607), the 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
chemicals to which the public may be
exposed as consumers or as workers in
commercial and industrial settings. The
data also helps EPA assess routes of
potential exposure to those chemicals.
The CDR data collection is on a fouryear reporting cycle and contains
detailed manufacturing, processing, and
use information drawn from the
principal reporting year; as well as basic
information on production volume, by
year, for the three years prior to the
principal reporting year. The next CDR
collection will occur in 2028; there are
no changes to the reporting
requirements.
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 (FRL–10005–56)
and the Small Manufacturer Definition
Update for Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements under the
TSCA Section 8(a) (85 FR 31986, May
28, 2020 (FRL–10008–14)). The 2020
CDR Revisions Rule phased in some
provisions. All changes were fully
implemented with the 2024 CDR. OPPT
uses the CDR data in its chemical
substance risk-management efforts.
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 available

at https://www.epa.gov/chemical-datareporting. Further discussion of how the
information is used, stored, and
collected is included in this document.
The ICR, which is available in the
docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed
explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only
briefly summarized here:
Form number(s): 9600–010; 9600–011;
9600–012; 9600–013; 9600–014; 9600–
015.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this ICR include
North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) code
categories: 325—Chemical
Manufacturing and 324—Petroleum and
Coal Products Manufacturing.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory. 15 U.S.C. 2607; 40 CFR part
711.
Estimated number of potential
respondents: 5,238.
Frequency of response: Once every
four years.
Total estimated average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Total estimated burden: 891,053
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated costs: $88,954,949
(per year), includes $0 annualized
capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is an increase of 161,568 hours
in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in
the ICR currently approved by OMB.
The increase reflects the use of 2020
CDR data (rather than 2016 CDR used
for the previous ICR update) for
estimating the reporting universe.
Although in 2020 there were fewer sites
reporting to CDR (i.e., fewer Form Us
submitted), on average the sites reported
a greater number of chemicals resulting
in a substantial increase in the number
of chemical reports submitted. In
addition, fewer of the chemical reports
were for partially exempted chemicals
(see 40 CFR 711.6 for a list of chemicals
that are partially exempted from
reporting under CDR). Therefore, the
average burden for each chemical report
was also higher because a greater
percentage of the chemical reports were
full reports. There were no program
changes, so the burden increases were
not a result of any program changes to
the reporting requirements. This change
is an adjustment.

IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
