What
is
the
TSCA
Inventory?

EPA
classifies
all
chemicals
as
"
existing"
or
"
new".

All
existing
chemicals
are
compiled
in
a
list
called
the
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
Chemical
Substance
Inventory
or
TSCA
Inventory.

The
Inventory
was
originally
compiled
in
1978
and
1979.

EPA
adds
new
chemicals
to
the
Inventory
when
companies
submit
a
Notice
of
Commencement
following
completion
of
Premanufacture
Notification
procedures.

Over
80,000
chemicals
are
listed.
14
How
do
you
obtain
a
copy
of
the
Inventory?

You
can
obtain
the
Public
Inventory
in
hardcopy
or
electronic
format
from
the
National
Technical
Information
Service.
Phone
number
703­
487­
4650
or

Organizations
outside
of
EPA
have
published
versions
of
the
Inventory
on
the
Internet.
Please
use
caution
if
you
rely
on
these
Web
sites.
EPA
is
not
responsible
for
the
content
of
these
pages
and
cannot
verify
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
the
lists.
15
How
do
you
determine
if
your
substance
is
on
the
TSCA
Inventory?

Locate
the
substance
in
the
Public
Inventory.

Search
company
records
to
determine
if
the
substance
was
previously
reported
to
EPA
under
IUR.

Search
company
records
for
a
Notice
of
Commencement
of
manufacture
or
import
for
a
PMN
substance.
16
Hydrates
and
Mixtures

Hydrates
are
not
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.
You
are
required
to
report
using
the
corresponding
anhydrous
form.

Mixtures
are
not
reportable
under
TSCA.
You
are
required
to
report
for
the
chemical
substances
making
up
the
mixture.

Examples
related
to
hydrates
and
mixtures
will
be
presented
in
later
sections.
17

You
can
request
that
EPA
search
the
Master
Inventory
File,
including
confidential
substances.

Because
searches
are
labor­
intensive,
you
should
request
a
search
only
if
your
search
of
the
Public
Inventory
and
company
records
fails
to
resolve
your
question.

EPA
can
not
guarantee
a
response
for
requests
received
after
the
beginning
of
the
submission
period.

Follow
the
instructions
listed
in
Section
2.1.1.3
of
the
Instructions
for
Reporting
for
submitting
your
request.

What
if
you
cannot
find
your
chemical
in
the
Inventory?
18

Contact
EPA
at
the
address
listed
in
Section
2.1.1.4
of
the
Instructions
for
Reporting.

Significant
reductions
in
penalties
are
given
for
people
who
voluntarily
disclose
such
information.

What
if
you
manufacture
a
substance
subject
to
TSCA
that
is
not
listed
in
the
Inventory?
19
Is
the
substance
exempt?

Polymers,
certain
natural
gas
streams,
microorganisms,
and
naturally
occurring
substances
are
largely
exempt
from
reporting.

substances
are
noted
with

Polymers
(
40
CFR
710.46(
a)(
1))

The
IUR
definition
of
polymer
is
sufficiently
broad
to
include
all
those
substances
that
are
generally
considered
polymers.
These
include
polysaccharides,
such
as
starches
and
gums,
and
all
classes
of
proteins.
However,
substances
that
result
from
hydrolysis,
depolymerization,
or
chemical
modification,
regardless
of
the
extent
of
these
processes,
of
polymers
so
that
the
final
products
are
no
longer
polymeric
(
e.
g.,
a
mixture
of
amino
acids
that
is
the
result
of
hydrolysis
of
a
polypeptide)
are
not
considered
to
be
polymers
and
must
be
reported
if
not
otherwise
excluded.
For
reporting
purposes,
salts
of
polymers
are
also
considered
to
be
polymers.
21
Microorganisms
(
40
CFR
710.46(
a)(
2))

A
microorganism
is
any
combination
of
chemical
substances
that
is
a
living
organism
and
that
meets
the
definition
of
microorganism
at
40
CFR
725.3.

Any
chemical
substance
produced
from
a
living
organism
is
reportable
unless
otherwise
excluded.

40
CFR
725.3
defines
microorganism
as
an
organism
classified,
using
the
5­
kingdom
classification
system
of
Whittacker,
in
the
kingdoms
Monera
(
or
Procaryotae),
Protista,

22
Natural
Gas
(
40
CFR
710.46(

Certain
forms
of
natural
gas
are
exempt
for
IUR
reporting.
These
forms
are
listed
in
40
CFR

Naturally
Occurring
Substances
(
40
CFR
710.46(
a)(
3))

A
naturally
occurring
substances
is
any
chemical
substance
which
is
naturally
occurring
and:

(
1)
Which
is
(
i)
unprocessed
or
(
ii)
processed
only
by
manual,
mechanical,
or
gravitational
means;
by
dissolution
in
water;
by
flotation;
or
by
heating
solely
to
remove
water;

(
2)
Which
is
extracted
from
air
by
any
means.

Examples
of
such
substances
are:
raw
agricultural
commodities;
water,
air,
natural
gas,
and
crude
oil;

and
rocks,
ores,
and
minerals.
24
Naturally
Occurring
Substances

Whether
a
substance
is
naturally
occurring
depends
on
the
manner
in
which
it
is
produced
and
isolated.

For
this
reason,
minerals
and
certain
agricultural
products
are
sometimes
considered
not
to
be
naturally
occurring
because
of
their
method
of
production.

Examples:

1.
Removing
small
particles
by
electrostatic
precipitation
is
treated
similarly
to
a
filtration
or
gravitation
separation.
Processing
a
naturally
occurring
substance
by
this
means
does
not
negate
the
exemption.

2.
Using
a
solvent
to
extract
a
naturally
occurring
substance
is
not
a
natural
means,
therefore
the
substance
would
need
to
be
reported.

Naturally
Occurring
Substances

Products
(

rock
from

earth
for

acid.
During
benefication,
the
phosphate
rock
is
separated
from
its
matrix
by
non­
chemical
means,
i.
e.
crushing,
screening,
gravitational
separation,
and
flotation.
What
chemical
substances
manufactured
by
GRP
are
subject
to
reporting
requirements
under
IUR?
26
Is
the
substance
subject
to
a
special
action?

Polymers,
certain
natural
gas
streams,
and
microorganisms
are
not
exempt
when
they
are
subject
to
a
rule
proposed
or
promulgated
under
certain

Number
of
Workers
My
site
produces
isopropyl
alcohol
and
formaldehyde.
Six
employees
are
involved
in
the
production
of
each
chemical
(
12
total).
On
a
few
occasions
throughout
the
reporting
year,
two
employees
from
the
isopropyl
alcohol
production
line
were
moved
to
the
formaldehyde
production
line
to
provide
additional
assistance.
These
two
employees
had
minimal
exposure
to
formaldehyde.
How
many
workers
should
be
reported
for
the
production
of
formaldehyde?

rotate
between
the
different

Only
four
workers
work
on
the
production
for
Chemical

at
any
given
time.
However,

any
of

Acid
Plant:
At
a
nearby
plant
also
owned
by
KLM,
sulfur
dioxide
emitted
as
a
waste
product
from
copper
smelting
is
converted
to
sulfur
trioxide,
and
then
to
2.1
billion
pound
of
98%

sulfuric
acid.
Neither

Production
Ammonia
Plant:
Hydrogen
(
extracted
from
natural
gas)

and
nitrogen
(
extracted
from
air)
are
reacted
to
produce
of
ammonia
immediately
after
extraction.
PQR
produces
215
million
lbs
of
ammonia.

Phosphoric
Acid
Plant:
The
phosphate
slurry
is
combined
with
sulfuric
acid
to
produce
1.65
billion
lbs
of
78%

phosphoric
acid.
During
this
reaction,

2.7
billion
pounds
of
gypsum
crystals
(>
99%
anhydrous
CaSO
4)
are
formed
as
a
byproduct
and
sold
to
a
wallboard
manufacturer.

Granulation
Plant:
Phosphoric
acid
is
reacted
with
ammonia
to
form
a
liquid
slurry.
The
slurry
is
granulized
and
dried
to
produce
1.5
billion
pounds
of
fertilizer
containing
98%

ammonium
phosphate
and
2%

Mixtures
168
Are
Mixtures
Subject
to
IUR?

Mixtures
are
not
subject
to
IUR,
but
the
chemical
substances
comprising
the
mixture
are
subject
to
IUR.

If
you
import
a
mixture,
you
must
evaluate
your
reporting
obligations
for
all
chemical
substances
in
the
mixture.

If
you
produce
a
mixture
by
combining
existing
substances
that
your
company
does
not
manufacture
and
no
chemical
reaction
occurs
(
i.
e.,
blending
and
formulating),
do
not
report
those
substances.
169
Complex
Chemical
Substances

Any
material
extracted
or
removed
from
nature
is
a
chemical
substance
(
not
a
mixture)
even
though
it
may
be
comprised
of
many
different
chemical
substances.

Examples:
natural
gas,
iron
ore,
and
lemon
oil
extract

A
complex
reaction
product
combination
is
not
a
mixture
under
TSCA,
but
rather
is
a
chemical
substance.

Example:
catalytic
cracked
petroleum
distillates

acid.
Do
I

U
for
the
hydrochloric
acid?

Mixture
I

react
when
I
combine
them.
Do
I
need
to
complete
a
Form
U
for
the
substances
in

172
Hydrated
Substances

The
TSCA
Inventory
does
not
include
hydrated
forms
of
a
chemical
substance
or
hydrated
ions
formed
by
association
of
a
chemical
substance
with
water.

Anhydrous
forms
of
chemical
substances
are
subject
to
IUR
regulations.

Example:
You
manufacture
copper
sulfate
pentahydrate.
Copper
sulfate
is
subject
to
IUR
regulations.
173
Example

How
does

174
What
is
an
Alloy?

An
alloy
is
a
solid
mixture
containing
two
or
more
elements,
at
least
one
of
which
is
a
metal.

If
you
blend
chemical
substances
to
create
an
alloy,

but
do
not
manufacture
any
of
the
component
substances,
then
you
are
not
subject
to
IUR
reporting.

If
you
import
an
alloy,
evaluate
whether
you
need
to
report
for
each
chemical
substance
present
in
the
alloy.

Importer

"
Importer
means
any
person
who
imports
any
chemical
substance
or
any
chemical
substance
as
part
of
a
mixture
or
article
into
the
customs
territory
of
the
U.

and
includes:

(
1)
The
person
primarily
liable
for
the
payment
of
any
duties
on
the
merchandise,
or
(
2)
An
authorized
agent
acting
on
his/
her
behalf
(
as
defined
in
19
CFR
1.11)."
(
40
CFR
710.3)

Chemical
importers
have
the
same
reporting
obligations
as
chemical
manufacturers.
178
Imported
Chemicals

Report
information
for
domestic
sites
only.

Report
for
each
chemical
substance
in
a
mixture,
if
it
meets
the
reporting
requirements.

Do
not
report
chemical
substances
that
are
imported
as
a
part
of
an
article.
For
example,

°
Coolants
contained
in
refrigeration

179
Import
Using
a
Broker

The
party
who
controls
the
transaction
is
responsible
for
reporting.

°
If
the
broker
plays
an
active
role,
ordering
the
chemical
substance,
arranging
for
shipment,
directing
delivery,
paying
import
duties
etc.,
then
the
broker
controls
the
transaction
and
has
primary
responsibility
for
reporting.

°
If
the
broker
merely
puts
you
in
touch
with
a
supplier,
and
you
make
the
individual
orders,
then
you
should
report.

If
no
one
reports
an
imported
chemical,
the
EPA
can
hold
all
parties
involved
in
the
transaction
responsible
for
any
violations.
