TSCA Inventory Update Rule

Authority:   15 U.S.C. 2607(a).

Subpart A—General Provisions

§ 710.1   Scope and compliance.

(a) This part establishes regulations governing reporting and
recordkeeping by certain persons who manufacture, import, or process
chemical substances for commercial purposes under section 8(a) of the
Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)) (TSCA). Section 8(a)
authorizes the Administrator to require reporting of information
necessary for administration of the Act and requires EPA to issue
regulations for the purpose of compiling and keeping current an
inventory of chemical substances manufactured or processed for a
commercial purpose, as required by section 8(b) of the Act. Following an
initial reporting period, EPA published an initial inventory of chemical
substances manufactured, processed, or imported for commercial purposes.
In accordance with section 8(b), EPA periodically amends the inventory
to include new chemical substances which are manufactured or imported
for a commercial purpose and reported under section 5(a)(1) of the Act.
EPA also revises the categories of chemical substances and makes other
amendments as appropriate.

(b) The regulations in this part apply to the activities associated with
the compilation of the TSCA Chemical Inventory and the update of
information on a subset of the chemical substances included on the
Inventory. The Inventory Update regulations were amended in 2002;
however, these amendments apply to updates after 2002, not to the 2002
update. In order to prevent confusion as to which regulations apply to
which update, EPA has preserved the provisions that apply to the 2002
update in subpart B. The new and revised requirements that apply to
updates after 2002 appear in subpart C. Prior to January 1, 2003, the
regulations in subpart B of this part are effective for purposes of
Inventory update activities. As of January 1, 2003, subpart C is
effective for purposes of Inventory update activities. The Agency
intends to remove subpart B from the CFR once the 2002 update is
complete.

(c) Section 15(3) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to fail or
refuse to submit information required under these reporting regulations.
In addition, section 15(3) makes it unlawful for any person to fail to
keep, and permit access to, records required by these regulations.
Section 16 provides that any person who violates a provision of section
15 is liable to the United States for a civil penalty and may be
criminally prosecuted. Pursuant to section 17, the Government may seek
judicial relief to compel submission of section 8(a) information and to
otherwise restrain any violation of section 15. (EPA does not intend to
concentrate its enforcement efforts on insignificant clerical errors in
reporting.)

(d) Each person who reports under these regulations must maintain
records that document information reported under these regulations and,
in accordance with the Act, permit access to, and the copying of, such
records by EPA officials.

§ 710.35   Duplicative reporting.

(a) With regard to section 8(a) rules. Any person subject to the
requirements of this part who previously has complied with reporting
requirements of a rule under section 8(a) of the Act by submitting the
information described in §710.32 for a chemical substance described in
§710.25 to EPA, and has done so within one year of the start of a
reporting period described in §710.33, is not required to report again
on the manufacture of that substance at that site during that reporting
period.

(b) With regard to importers. This part requires that only one report be
submitted on each import transaction involving a chemical substance
described in §710.25. When two or more persons are involved in a
particular import transaction and each person meets the Agency's
definition of “importer” as set forth in §§710.2(l) and 704.3 of
this chapter, they may determine among themselves who should submit the
required report; if no report is submitted as required under this part,
EPA will hold each such person liable for failure to report.

[51 FR 21447, June 12, 1986, as amended at 60 FR 31921, June 19, 1995]

§ 710.37   Recordkeeping requirements.

Each person who is subject to the reporting requirements of this part
must maintain records that document any information reported to EPA. For
substances that are manufactured or imported at less than 10,000 pounds
annually, volume records must be maintained as evidence to support a
decision not to submit a report. Records relevant to reporting during a
reporting period described in §710.33 must be retained for a period of
four years beginning with the effective date of that reporting period.

[51 FR 21447, June 12, 1986, as amended at 58 FR 34204, June 23, 1993;
60 FR 31921, June 19, 1995]

§ 710.38   Confidentiality.

(a) Any person submitting information under this part may assert a
business confidentiality claim for the information. The procedures for
asserting confidentiality claims are described in the instruction
booklet identified in §710.39. Information claimed as confidential in
accordance with this section and those instructions will be treated and
disclosed in accordance with the procedures in part 2 of this chapter.

(b) A person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical
identity of a specific chemical substance only if the identity of that
substance is treated as confidential in the Master Inventory File as of
the time the report is submitted for that substance under this part.

(c) To assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical identity of a
specific chemical substance, the person must take the following steps:

(1) The person must submit with the report detailed written answers to
the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official.

(i) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, do you
think would result from the identity of the chemical substance being
disclosed in connection with reporting under this part? How could a
competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be
substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and
the harmful effects?

(ii) How long should confidential treatment be given? Until a specific
date, the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently? Why?

(iii) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you granted
licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to the
chemical substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and
therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be treated as
confidential?

(iv) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept confidential
to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being manufactured
or imported for a commercial purpose by anyone?

(v) Is the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured or
imported for a commercial purpose available to the public, for example
in technical journals, libraries, or State, local, or Federal agency
public files?

(vi) What measures have you taken to prevent undesired disclosure of the
fact that this chemical substance is being manufactured or imported for
a commercial purpose?

(vii) To what extent has the fact that this chemical substance is
manufactured or imported for commercial purposes been revealed to
others? What precautions have been taken regarding these disclosures?
Have there been public disclosures or disclosures to competitors?

(viii) Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of
manufacture in any form, as product, effluent, emission, etc.? If so,
what measures have you taken to guard against discovery of its identity?

(ix) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a product that is
available to the public or your competitors, can the substance be
identified by analysis of the product?

(x) For what purpose do you manufacture or import the substance?

(xi) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any
pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical
substance? If so, please attach copies of such determinations.

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions
is asserted to contain confidential business information, the person
must mark that information as “trade secret,” “confidential,” or
other appropriate designation.

(d) If no claim of confidentiality accompanies information at the time
it is submitted to EPA under this part or if substantiation required
under paragraph (c) of this section is not submitted with the reporting
form, EPA may make the information available to the public without
further notice to the submitter.

[51 FR 21447, June 12, 1986, as amended at 55 FR 39588, Sept. 27, 1990;
60 FR 31921, June 19, 1995]

§ 710.39   How do I submit the required information?

(a) Use the proper EPA form. You must use the EPA form identified as
“Form U” to submit written information in response to the
requirements of this subpart. Copies of the Form U are available from
EPA at the address set forth in paragraph (c) of this section and from
the EPA Internet Home Page at
http://www.epa.gov/oppt/iur/iur02/index.htm. 

(b) Follow the reporting instructions. You should follow the detailed
instructions for completing the reporting form and preparing a magnetic
media report, which are given in the EPA publication entitled
“Instructions for Reporting for Partial Updating of the TSCA Chemical
Inventory Data Base,” via the Internet or the TSCA Hotline.

(c) Obtain the reporting package and copies of the form. EPA is mailing
the reporting package to those companies that reported in 1998. Failure
to receive a reporting package does not obviate or otherwise affect the
requirement to submit a timely report. If you did not receive a
reporting package, but are required to report, you may obtain a copy of
the reporting package and the reporting form from EPA by submitting a
request for this information as follows:

(1) By phone. Call the EPA TSCA Hotline at (202) 554–1404.

(2) By e-mail. Send an e-mail request for this information to the EPA
TSCA Hotline at TSCA-Hotline@epamail.epa.gov.

Subpart C—Inventory Update Reporting for 2006 and Beyond

Source:   68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003, unless otherwise noted.

§ 710.43   Definitions.

In addition to the definitions in §704.3 of this chapter and §710.3,
the following definitions also apply to subpart C of this part:

Commercial use means the use of a chemical substance or mixture in a
commercial enterprise providing saleable goods or services (e.g., dry
cleaning establishment, painting contractor).

Consumer use means the use of a chemical substance that is directly, or
as part of a mixture, sold to or made available to consumers for their
use in or around a permanent or temporary household or residence, in or
around a school, or in or around recreational areas.

Industrial use means use at a site at which one or more chemical
substances or mixtures are manufactured (including imported) or
processed.

Intended for use by children means the chemical substance or mixture is
used in or on a product that is specifically intended for use by
children age 14 or younger. A chemical substance or mixture is intended
for use by children when the submitter answers “yes” to at least one
of the following questions for the product into which the submitter's
chemical substance or mixture is incorporated:

(1) Is the product commonly recognized (i.e., by a reasonable person) as
being intended for children age 14 or younger?

(2) Does the manufacturer of the product state through product labeling
or other written materials that the product is intended for or will be
used by children age 14 or younger?

(3) Is the advertising, promotion, or marketing of the product aimed at
children age 14 or younger?

Known to or reasonably ascertainable by means all information in a
person's possession or control, plus all information that a reasonable
person similarly situated might be expected to possess, control, or
know.

Master Inventory File means EPA's comprehensive list of chemical
substances which constitute the Chemical Substances Inventory compiled
under section 8(b) of the Act. It includes substances reported under
subpart A of this part and substances reported under part 720 of this
chapter for which a Notice of Commencement of Manufacture or Import has
been received under §720.120 of this chapter.

Readily obtainable information means information which is known by
management and supervisory employees of the submitter company who are
responsible for manufacturing, processing, distributing, technical
services, and marketing of the reportable chemical substance. Extensive
file searches are not required.

Reasonably likely to be exposed means an exposure to a chemical
substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture (including
import), processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical
substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures
would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as
charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment,
maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical
operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of
entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.), but
excludes accidental or theoretical exposures.

Repackaging means the physical transfer of a chemical substance or
mixture, as is, from one container to another container or containers in
preparation for distribution of the chemical substance or mixture in
commerce.

Reportable chemical substance means a chemical substance described in
§710.45.

Reporting year means the calendar year in which information to be
reported to EPA during an IUR submission period is generated, i.e.,
calendar year 2005 and the calendar year at 5–year intervals
thereafter.

Site-limited means a chemical substance is manufactured and processed
only within a site and is not distributed for commercial purposes as a
substance or as part of a mixture or article outside the site. Imported
substances are never site-limited. Although a site-limited chemical
substance is not distributed for commercial purposes outside the site at
which it is manufactured and processed, the substance is considered to
have been manufactured and processed for commercial purposes.

Submission period means the period in which the information generated
during the reporting year is submitted to EPA.

Use means any utilization of a chemical substance or mixture that is not
otherwise covered by the terms manufacture or process. Relabeling or
redistributing a container holding a chemical substance or mixture where
no repackaging of the chemical substance or mixture occurs does not
constitute use or processing of the chemical substance or mixture.

[68 FR 890, Jan. 7, 2003, as amended at 69 FR 40791, July 7, 2004; 70 FR
75068, Dec. 19, 2005]

§ 710.45   Chemical substances for which information must be
reported.

Any chemical substance which is in the Master Inventory File at the
beginning of a submission period described in §710.53, unless the
chemical substance is specifically excluded by §710.46.

§ 710.46   Chemical substances for which information is not
required.

The following groups or categories of chemical substances are exempted
from some or all of the reporting requirements of this subpart, with the
following exception: A chemical substance described in paragraph (a)(1),
(a)(2), or (a)(4), or (b) of this section is not exempted from any of
the reporting requirements of this subpart if that substance is the
subject of a rule proposed or promulgated under section 4, 5(a)(2),
5(b)(4), or 6 of the Act, or is the subject of an order issued under
section 5(e) or 5(f) of the Act, or is the subject of relief that has
been granted under a civil action under section 5 or 7 of the Act.

(a) Full exemptions. The following categories of chemical substances are
exempted from the reporting requirements of this subpart.

(1) Polymers. (i) Any chemical substance described with the word
fragments “*polym*”, “*alkyd”, or “*oxylated” in the
Chemical Abstracts Service Index or Preferred Nomenclature in the
Chemical Substance Identities section of the Master Inventory File,
where the asterisk (*) indicates that any sets of characters may
precede, or follow, the character string defined.

(ii) Any chemical substance which is identified in the Master Inventory
File as siloxane and silicone, silsesquioxane, a protein (albumin,
casein, gelatin, gluten, hemoglobin), an enzyme, a polysaccharide
(starch, cellulose, gum), rubber, or lignin.

(iii) This exclusion does not apply to a polymeric substance that has
been hydrolyzed, depolymerized, or otherwise chemically modified, except
in cases where the intended product of this reaction is totally
polymeric in structure.

(2) Microorganisms. Any combination of chemical substances that is a
living organism, and that meets the definition of “microorganism” at
§725.3 of this chapter. Any chemical substance produced from a living
microorganism is reportable under this subpart unless otherwise
excluded.

(3) Naturally occurring chemical substances. Any naturally occurring
chemical substance, as described in §710.4(b). The applicability of
this exclusion is determined in each case by the specific activities of
the person who manufactures the substance in question. Some chemical
substances can be manufactured both as described in §710.4(b) and by
means other than those described in §710.4(b). If a person described in
§710.48 manufactures a chemical substance by means other than those
described in §710.4(b), the person must report regardless of whether
the substance also could have been produced as described in §710.4(b).
Any chemical substance that is produced from such a naturally occurring
chemical substance described in §710.4(b) is reportable unless
otherwise excluded.

(4) Certain forms of natural gas. Chemical substances with the following
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Numbers: CAS No.
64741–48–6, Natural gas (petroleum), raw liquid mix; CAS No.
68919–39–1, Natural gas condensates; CAS No. 8006–61–9, Gasoline
natural; CAS No. 68425–31–0, Gasoline (natural gas), natural; CAS
No. 8006–14–2, Natural gas; and CAS No. 68410–63–9, Natural gas,
dried.

(b) Partial exemptions. The following groups of chemical substances are
partially exempted from the reporting requirements of this subpart
(i.e., the information described in §710.52(c)(4) need not be reported
for these substances). Such chemical substances are not excluded from
the other reporting requirements under this subpart. A chemical
substance described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section qualifies for a
partial reporting exemption during the 2006 submission period; in
subsequent submission periods, the chemical substances described in
paragraph (b)(3) of this section will be subject to full reporting under
this subpart (i.e., all of the information described in this subpart
must be reported), unless otherwise exempted.

(1) Petroleum process streams. EPA has designated the following chemical
substances, listed by CAS Number, as partially exempt from reporting
under the IUR.

(2) Specific exempted chemical substances —(i) Exemption. EPA has
determined that, at this time, the information in §710.52(c)(4)
associated with the chemicals listed in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this
section is of low current interest.

(ii) Considerations. In making its determination of whether this partial
exemption should apply to a particular chemical substance, EPA will
consider the totality of information available for the chemical
substance in question, including but not limited to, one or more of the
following considerations:

(A) Whether the chemical qualifies or has qualified in past IUR
collections for the reporting of the information described in
§710.52(c)(4) (i.e., at least one site manufactures 300,000 pounds or
more of the chemical).

(B) The chemical substance's chemical and physical properties or
potential for persistence, bioaccumulation, health effects, or
environmental effects (considered independently or together).

(C) The information needs of EPA, other federal agencies, tribes,
states, and local governments, as well as members of the public.

(D) The availability of other complementary risk screening information.

(E) The availability of comparable processing and use information.

(F) Whether the potential risks of the chemical substance are adequately
managed.

(iii) Amendments. EPA may amend the chemical list in paragraph
(b)(2)(iv) of this section on its own initiative or in response to a
request from the public based on EPA's determination of whether the
information in §710.52(c)(4) is of low interest.

(A) Any person may request that EPA amend the chemical list in paragraph
(b)(2)(iv) of this section. Your request must be in writing and must be
submitted to the address provided in §710.59(d). Requests must identify
the chemical in question, as well as its CAS number or other chemical
identification number as identified in §710.52(c)(3)(i), and must
contain a written rationale for the request that provides sufficient
specific information, addressing the considerations listed in
§710.46(b)(2)(ii), including cites and relevant documents, to
demonstrate to EPA that the collection of the information in
§710.52(c)(4) for the chemical in question either is or is not of low
current interest. If a request related to a particular chemical is
resubmitted, any subsequent request must clearly identify new
information contained in the request. EPA may request other information
that it believes necessary to evaluate the request. EPA will issue a
written response to each request within 120 days of receipt of the
request, and will maintain copies of these responses in a public docket
that will be established for each reporting cycle.

(B) As needed, the Agency will initiate rulemaking to make revisions to
the list in paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section.

(C) To assist EPA in reaching a decision regarding a particular request
prior to a given reporting year, requests must be submitted to EPA no
later than 12 months prior to the start of the reporting year, i.e., by
January 1, 2004, or by each January 1 at 5–year intervals thereafter.

(iv) List of chemical substances. EPA has designated the following
chemical substances, listed by CAS Number, as partially exempt from
reporting under the IUR.

calendar year at 5–year intervals thereafter. Persons subject to
paragraph (c)(4) of this section must report the information described
in paragraphs (c)(4)(i) and (c)(4)(ii) of this section for each
reportable chemical substance at sites under their control and at sites
that receive a reportable chemical substance from the submitter directly
or indirectly (including through a broker/distributor, from a customer
of the submitter, etc.). Information reported in response to this
paragraph must be reported only to the extent that it is readily
obtainable by the submitter. Information required to be reported under
this paragraph is limited to domestic (i.e., within the custom territory
of the United States) processing and use activities. If information
responsive to a given data requirement under this paragraph, including
information in the form of an estimate, is not readily obtainable, the
submitter is not required to respond to the requirement.

(i) Industrial processing and use information. (A) A designation
indicating the type of industrial processing or use operation(s) at each
site that receives a reportable substance from the submitter site
directly or indirectly (whether the recipient site(s) are controlled by
the submitter site or not). For each chemical substance, report the
letters which correspond to the appropriate processing or use
operation(s). A particular designation may need to be reported more than
once, to the extent that a submitter reports more than one NAICS code
(under paragraph (c)(4)(i)(B) of this section) that applies to a given
designation under this paragraph.

Designation	Operation

PC	Processing as a reactant

PF	Processing - incorporation into formulation, mixture or reaction
product

PA	Processing - incorporation into article

PK	Processing - repackaging

U	Use - non-incorporative activities

(B) The five-digit North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes which best describe the industrial activities associated
with each industrial processing or use operation reported under
paragraph (c)(4)(i)(A) of this section. Information about how to find
these codes is provided in the instruction booklet available from EPA at
the address set forth in §710.59. A particular NAICS code may need to
be reported more than once, to the extent that a submitter reports more
than one industrial function code (under paragraph (c)(4)(i)(C) of this
section) that applies to a given NAICS code under this paragraph.

(C) For each NAICS code reported under paragraph (c)(4)(i)(B) of this
section, code(s) from the following list must be selected to designate
the industrial function category(ies) that best represents the specific
manner in which the chemical substance is used. A particular industrial
function category may need to be reported more than once, to the extent
that a submitter reports more than one industrial processing or use
operation/NAICS code combination (under paragraphs (c)(4)(i)(A) and
(c)(4)(i)(B) of this section) that applies to a given industrial
function category under this paragraph. If more than 10 unique
combinations of industrial processing or use operations/NAICS
codes/industrial function categories apply to a chemical substance,
submitters need only report the 10 unique combinations for the chemical
substance that cumulatively represent the largest percentage of the
submitter's production volume for that chemical, measured by weight.

(D) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of total
production volume of the reportable chemical substance associated with
each combination of industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code
and industrial function category. Where a particular combination of
industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial
function category accounts for 5% or less of the submitter's site's
total production volume of a reportable chemical substance, the
percentage must not be rounded off to zero % if the production volume
attributable to that industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code
and industrial function category combination is 300,000 lbs. (136,077
kg) or more during the reporting year. Instead, in such a case,
submitters must report the percentage, rounded off to the closest 1%, of
the submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable
chemical substance associated with the particular combination of
industrial processing or use operation, NAICS code and industrial
function category.

(E) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation,
NAICS code and industrial function category, the submitter must estimate
the number of sites at which each reportable chemical substance is
processed or used. For each combination associated with each substance,
the submitter must select from among the ranges of sites listed in the
following table and report the corresponding code (i.e., S1 through S7):

Codes for Reporting Numbers of Sites

Codes	Range

S1	less than 10 sites

S2	at least 10 but less than 25 sites

S3	at least 25 but less than 100 sites

S4	at least 100 but less than 250 sites

S5	at least 250 but less than 1,000 sites

S6	at least 1,000 but less than 10,000 sites

S7	10,000 or more sites

(F) For each combination of industrial processing or use operation,
NAICS code and industrial function category, the submitter must estimate
the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable
chemical substance. For each combination associated with each substance,
the submitter must select from among the worker ranges listed in
paragraph (c)(3)(v) of this section and report the corresponding code
(i.e., W1 though W8).

(ii) Commercial and consumer use information. (A) Using the codes listed
in this paragraph, submitters must designate the commercial and consumer
product category or categories that best describe the commercial and
consumer products in which each reportable chemical substance is used
(whether the recipient site(s) are controlled by the submitter site or
not). If more than 10 codes apply to a chemical substance, submitters
need only report the 10 codes for the chemical substance that
cumulatively represent the largest percentage of the submitter's
production volume for that chemical, measured by weight:

Codes for Reporting Commercial and Consumer Product Categories

Codes	Category

C01	Adhesives and sealants

(B) Submitters must determine, within each commercial and consumer
product category reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section,
whether any amount of each reportable chemical substance manufactured
(including imported) by the submitter is present in (for example, a
plasticizer chemical used to make pacifiers) or on (for example, as a
component in the paint on a toy) any consumer products intended for use
by children up to the age of 14, regardless of the concentration of the
substance remaining in or on the product. Submitters must select from
the following options: the chemical substance is used in or on any
consumer products intended for use by children, the chemical substance
is not used in or on any consumer products intended for use by children,
or information as to whether the chemical substance is used in or on any
consumer products intended for use by children is not readily
obtainable.

(C) The estimated percentage, rounded off to the closest 10%, of the
submitter's site's total production volume of the reportable chemical
substance associated with each commercial and consumer product category.
Where a particular commercial and consumer product category accounts for
5% or less of the total production volume of a reportable chemical
substance, the percentage must not be rounded off to zero % if the
production volume attributable to that commercial and consumer product
category is 300,000 lbs. (136,077 kg) or more during the reporting year.
Instead, in such a case, submitters must report the percentage, rounded
off to the closest 1%, of the submitter's site's total production volume
of the reportable chemical substance associated with the particular
commercial and consumer product category.

(D) Where the reportable chemical substance is used in commercial or
consumer products, the estimated typical maximum concentration, measured
by weight, of the chemical substance in each commercial and consumer
product category reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section.
For each substance in each commercial and consumer product category
reported under paragraph (c)(4)(ii)(A) of this section, submitters must
select from among the ranges of concentrations listed in the table in
paragraph (c)(3)(vi) of this section and report the corresponding code
(i.e., M1 through M5).

§ 710.53   When to report.

All information reported to EPA in response to the requirements of this
subpart must be submitted during an applicable submission period. The
first submission period is from August 25, 2006, to March 23, 2007.
Subsequent recurring submission periods are from June 1 to September 30
at 5–year intervals after the first submission period. Any person
described in §710.48(a) must report during each submission period for
each chemical substance described in §710.45 that the person
manufactured (including imported) during the preceding calendar year
(i.e., the “reporting year”).

[70 FR 75069, Dec. 19, 2005, as amended at 71 FR 76206, Dec. 20, 2006]

§ 710.55   Duplicative reporting.

(a) With regard to section 8(a) rules. Any person subject to the
requirements of this part who previously has complied with reporting
requirements of a rule under section 8(a) of the Act by submitting the
information described in §710.52 for a chemical substance described in
§710.45 to EPA, and has done so within 1 year of the start of a
submission period described in §710.53, is not required to report again
on the manufacture of that substance at that site during that submission
period.

(b) With regard to importers. This part requires that only one report be
submitted on each import transaction involving a chemical substance
described in §710.45. When two or more persons are involved in a
particular import transaction and each person meets the Agency's
definition of “importer” as set forth in §§710.3 and 704.3 of this
chapter, they may determine among themselves who should submit the
required report; if no report is submitted as required under this part,
EPA will hold each such person liable for failure to report.

§ 710.57   Recordkeeping requirements.

Each person who is subject to the reporting requirements of this subpart
must retain records that document any information reported to EPA.
Records relevant to reporting during a submission period must be
retained for a period of 5 years beginning on the last day of the
submission period. Submitters are encouraged to retain their records
longer than 5 years to ensure that past records are available as a
reference when new submissions are being generated.

[70 FR 75070, Dec. 19, 2005]

§ 710.58   Confidentiality.

(a) Any person submitting information under this subpart may assert a
business confidentiality claim for the information at the time it is
submitted. These claims will apply only to the information submitted
with the claim. New confidentiality claims, if necessary, must be
asserted with regard to information submitted during the next submission
period. Guidance for asserting confidentiality claims is provided in the
instruction booklet identified in §710.59. Information claimed as
confidential in accordance with this section will be treated and
disclosed in accordance with the procedures in part 2 of this chapter.

(b) Chemical identity. A person may assert a claim of confidentiality
for the chemical identity of a specific chemical substance only if the
identity of that substance is treated as confidential in the Master
Inventory File as of the time the report is submitted for that substance
under this subpart. The following steps must be taken to assert a claim
of confidentiality for the identity of a reportable chemical substance:

(1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers
to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official.

(i) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, do you
think would result from the identity of the chemical substance being
disclosed in connection with reporting under this subpart? How could a
competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be
substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and
the harmful effects?

(ii) How long should confidential treatment be given? Until a specific
date, the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently? Why?

(iii) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you granted
licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to the
chemical substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and
therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be treated as
confidential?

(iv) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept confidential
to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being manufactured
or imported for a commercial purpose by anyone?

(v) Is the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured
(including imported) for a commercial purpose available to the public,
for example in technical journals, libraries, or State, local, or
Federal agency public files?

(vi) What measures have been taken to prevent undesired disclosure of
the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured (including
imported) for a commercial purpose?

(vii) To what extent has the fact that this chemical substance is
manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes been revealed
to others? What precautions have been taken regarding these disclosures?
Have there been public disclosures or disclosures to competitors?

(viii) Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of
manufacture (including import) in any form, e.g., as product, effluent,
emission? If so, what measures have been taken to guard against the
discovery of its identity?

(ix) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a product that is
available to the public or your competitors, can the substance be
identified by analysis of the product?

(x) For what purpose do you manufacture (including import) the
substance?

(xi) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any
pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical
substance? If so, please attach copies of such determinations.

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions
listed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section is asserted to contain
confidential business information, the submitter must clearly identify
the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific
information on each page with a label such as “confidential business
information,” “proprietary,” or “trade secret.”

(c) Site identity . A submitter may assert a claim of confidentiality
for a site only if the linkage of the site with a reportable chemical is
confidential and not publicly available. The following steps must be
taken to assert a claim of confidentiality for a site identity:

(1) The submitter must submit with the report detailed written answers
to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official:

(i) Has site information been linked with a chemical identity in any
other Federal, state or local reporting scheme? For example, is the
chemical identity linked to a facility in a filing under the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 311, namely
through a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)? If so, identify all such
schemes. Was the linkage claimed as confidential in any of these
instances?

(ii) What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position do you
think would result from the identity of the site and the chemical
substance being disclosed in connection with reporting under this
subpart? How could a competitor use such information? Would the effects
of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between
the disclosure and the harmful effects?

(2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the questions
listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this section is asserted to contain
confidential business information, the submitter must clearly identify
the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific
information on each page with a label such as “confidential business
information,” “proprietary,” or “trade secret.”

(d) If no claim of confidentiality is indicated on the reporting form
submitted to EPA under this subpart, or if confidentiality claim
substantiation required under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section is
not submitted with the reporting form, EPA may make the information
available to the public without further notice to the submitter.
