2016-07-28; vol. 81 # 145 - Thursday, July 28, 2016 81 FR 49598 - Significant New Uses of Chemical Substances; Updates to the Hazard Communication Program and Regulatory Framework; Minor Amendments to Reporting Requirements for Premanufacture Notices
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before September 26, 2016. 40 CFR Parts 720, 721, and 723 Summary EPA is proposing changes to the existing regulations governing significant new uses of chemical substances under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to align these regulations with revisions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Communications Standard (HCS), which are proposed to be cross referenced, and with changes to the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) respirator certification requirements pertaining to respiratory protection of workers from exposure to chemicals. EPA is also proposing changes to the significant new uses of chemical substances regulations based on issues that have been identified by EPA and issues raised by public commenters for Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) previously proposed and issued under these regulations. Additionally, EPA is proposing a minor change to reporting requirements for premanufacture notices (PMNs) and other TSCA section 5 notices. EPA expects these changes to have minimal impacts on the costs and burdens of complying, while updating the significant new use reporting requirements to assist in addressing any potential effects to human health and the environment.
2015-07-20; vol. 80 # 138 - Monday, July 20, 2015 80 FR 42739 - TSCA Section 5 Premanufacture and Significant New Use Notification Electronic Reporting
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Direct Final Rule. This direct final rule is effective January 19, 2016 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment on or before August 19, 2015. If EPA receives adverse comments on this action, EPA will withdraw the rule before its effective date. EPA will then issue a proposed rule, providing a 30-day period for public comment. 40 CFR Parts 720, 721, 723, and 725 Summary EPA is taking direct final action to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 5 electronic reporting regulations. These electronic reporting regulations establish standards and requirements for use of EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) to electronically submit premanufacture notices (PMNs), other TSCA section 5 notices, and support documents to the Agency. This rule provides the user community with new methods for accessing the e-PMN software, new procedures for completing the electronic-PMN (e-PMN) form, changes to the CDX registration process, adds the requirement to submit “ bona fide intents to manufacture” electronically, and changes to the procedure for notifying EPA of any new manufacturing site of a chemical substance for which an exemption was granted by EPA. This action is intended to further streamline and reduce the administrative costs and burdens of TSCA section 5 notifications for both industry and EPA.
2013-12-04; vol. 78 # 233 - Wednesday, December 4, 2013 78 FR 72818 - Electronic Reporting Under the Toxic Substances Control Act
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule.

EPA is requiring the use of electronic reporting in order to minimize the paperwork burden associated with the underlying regulatory requirements and to minimize the cost to the Federal Government of the creation, collection, maintenance, use, dissemination, and disposition of information. This action will also improve the quality and use of information to strengthen decisionmaking, accountability, and openness in government and society, as well as provide for the timely dissemination of public information and in a manner that promotes the utility of the information to the public and makes effective use of information technology.
2012-08-03; vol. 77 # 150 - Friday, August 3, 2012 77 FR 46289 - Technical Corrections to Organizational Names, Addresses, and OMB Control Numbers
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule.

These amendments will make EPA's regulations more accurate and user friendly with regard to the name of the EPA office that administers these statutes and various Agency addresses.
2012-04-17; vol. 77 # 74 - Tuesday, April 17, 2012 77 FR 22707 - Electronic Reporting Under the Toxic Substances Control Act
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before June 18, 2012. 40 CFR Parts 712, 716, 720, 721, 723, 725, 766, 790, and 799 Summary EPA is proposing to require electronic reporting for information that must be submitted under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 4 (pursuant to test rules and enforceable consent agreements (ECAs)), TSCA section 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR), and TSCA section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting rules. Additionally, EPA is proposing amendments to certain TSCA section 5 reporting regulations that would extend electronic reporting requirements to Notices of Commencement of Manufacture or Import (NOCs) and support documents ( e.g., correspondence, amendment, and test data) relating to TSCA section 5 notices submitted to EPA before April 6, 2010. This proposed rule would require the use of EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) and the Chemical Information Submission System (CISS) web-based reporting tool for the submission of forms, reports, and other documents except for TSCA section 5 submissions, which would use existing e-PMN software. This action is intended to streamline the reporting process and reduce the administrative costs associated with information submission and recordkeeping.
