PREFACE
On
[
DATE
TO
BE
ADDED],
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)

promulgated
a
final
rule
(
FR
CITE
TO
BE
ADDED)
amending
the
Inventory
Update
Rule
(
IUR).

Sites
affected
by
this
rule
are
subject
to
the
revised
reporting
requirements
beginning
in
2006
for
activities
conducted
during
the
2005
calendar
year.
The
first
reports
are
due
by
[
DATE
TO
BE
ADDED];
sites
are
to
use
the
revised
Form
U
for
reporting
to
EPA.
Additional
information
on
the
IUR
amendments
can
be
found
in
(
FR
CITE
TO
BE
ADDED).

The
primary
goal
of
this
document
is
to
help
the
regulated
community
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
IUR
regulations.
This
document
does
not
substitute
for
those

Introduction
In
1977,
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
promulgated
a
rule
under
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA)
section
8(
a),
15
U.
S.
C.
2607(
a),
to
compile
and
keep
current
an
inventory
of
chemical
substances
in
U.
S.
commerce.
This
inventory
is
called
the
TSCA
Chemical
Substances
Inventory
(
TSCA
Inventory).
In
1986,
EPA
promulgated
the
Inventory
Update
Rule
(
IUR),
also
under
TSCA
section
8(
a),
to
facilitate
the
periodic
updating
of
the
TSCA
Inventory
database
and
to
support
activities
associated
with
implementing
TSCA.
When
first
promulgated,
the
IUR
required
chemical
manufacturers
(
including
importers)
to
report
to
EPA
every
4
years
the
identity
of
chemical
substances
manufactured
(
including
imported)
annually
in
quantities
of
10,000
pounds
or
greater
at
each
plant
site
they
owned
or
controlled.
In
2002,
EPA
amended
the
IUR,
adjusting
the
universe
of
chemicals
and
plant
sites
reporting,
the
type
of
data
reported,
and
the
Confidential
Business
Information
(
CBI)
claim
procedures.

The
TSCA
Inventory
currently
includes
more
than
76,000
chemical
substances.
Approximately
8,900
of
these
chemical
substances
were
reported
under
the
IUR
in
1998.
In
the
past,
EPA
has
used
the
TSCA
Inventory
and
IUR
data
to
support
many
TSCA­
related
activities
and
to
provide
overall
support
for
a
number
of
EPA
and
other
federal
health,
safety,
and
environmental
protection
activities.
In
addition
to
the
past
uses,
EPA
will
use
the
new
information
reported
in
2006
to
help
EPA,
other
agencies,
and
the
general
public
more
readily
screen
chemicals
for
exposure
and
risk.
These
reviews
will
allow
for
better
prioritization
of
chemicals
to
identify
those
warranting
more
detailed
assessments
and
to
eliminate
chemicals
of
lesser
concern
from
further
review.

This
document
updates
the
2002
guidance
manual
(
EPA
749­
B­
98­
001,
June
1998)
to
incorporate
the
IUR
Amendments
(
IURA)
reporting
requirements
for
2006
reporting.
These
instructions,
however,
should
not
be
construed
as
a
substitute
for
the
IUR.
[

Manufacturers
and
importers
of
chemical
substances
are
encouraged
to
carefully
review
the
IUR
reporting
requirements
in
the
Federal
Register
to
determine
whether
they
are
subject
to
these
requirements
and
what
information
is
to
be
reported.

Businesses
required
to
comply
with
the
IUR
should
have
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
TSCA
Inventory
and
the
criteria
used
to
determine
a
substance's
presence
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.

of
the
TSCA
Inventory
can

1.1
Changes
from
2002
IUR
Reporting
Requirements
EPA
made
several
major
changes
to
the
2002
IUR
reporting
requirements,
which
are
highlighted
in
Table
1­
1
and
explained
later
in
this
document.
In
addition,
Form
U
was
revised
to
incorporate
these
changes.
Appendix
A
contains
the
Draft
2006
Form
U,
which
is
still
being
improved.

1.2
Rationale
for
IUR
Changes
EPA
amended
the
IUR
on
[
DATE
TO
BE
ADDED]
for
three
primary
reasons:

To
tailor
the
chemical
substance
reporting
requirements
to
more
closely
match
EPA's
information
needs;

To
obtain
new
and
updated
information
concerning
potential
exposures
to
a
subset
of
chemical
substances
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory;
and

To
improve
the
utility
of
the
information
reported.

These
goals
are
supported
by
the
policy
in
TSCA
section
2(
b)(
1)
that
"
adequate
data
should
be
developed
with
respect
to
the
effect
of
chemical
substances
and
mixtures
on
health
and
the
environment
and
that
the
development
of
such
data
should
be
the
responsibility
of
those
who
manufacture
and
those
who
process
such
chemical
substances
and
mixtures."
EPA
believes
that
the
data
currently
available
to
EPA
are
generally
inadequate
for
risk
screening
purposes.
TSCA
section
8(
a)(
2)
authorizes
EPA
to
require
manufacturers
and
processors
of
chemical
substances
to
report
a
wide
variety
of
data,
including
exposure­
related
information
that
will
be
reported
for
certain
chemical
substances
under
the
revised
IUR.
The
IUR
amendments
removed
certain
reporting
requirements
and
added
others
to
allow
the
Agency
to
collect
information
that
is
most
needed
by
EPA
and
other
federal
agencies
for
screening,
assessing,
and
managing
risk.
The
availability
of
these
data
will
enhance
public
awareness
of
basic
information
about
chemical
substances.

The
information
collected
under
this
revised
IUR
will
enable
EPA
to
develop
a
more
systematic
and
comprehensive
approach
to
the
chemicals
prioritization
process.
EPA
uses
exposure
information
in
a
wide
variety
of
analyses
and
decision­
making,
including
that
associated
with
projects
within
the
Existing
Chemicals
Program,
the
High
Production
Volume
(
HPV)
Program,
and
Design
for
the
Environment
(
DfE).
(
Further
information
on
these
projects
can
be
found
at
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
opptintr/.)
Often
under
these
programs,
EPA
completes
an
initial
review
of
chemical
substances
to
identify
those
substances
that
raise
particular
concerns
as
to
the
potential
risks
they
present
to
human
health
and
the
environment.

of
anticipated
uses
of
the

exposure
data.

Use
of
Exposure­
Related
Information
The
new
IUR
reporting
requirements
for
exposure­
related
information
are
related
to,
or
are
indicative
of,
three
components
of
exposure:

The
number
of
ecosystems
or
size
of
human
populations
potentially
exposed
(
e.
g.,
data
elements
concerning
number
of
sites,
number
of
workers,
and
use
in
consumer
products);

The
potential
routes,
magnitudes,
and
concentrations
of
exposures
experienced
by
the
environment
or
by
humans
(
e.
g.,
data
elements
concerning
function
of
chemical
substances
in
industrial
processes,
physical
form
of
chemical
substances,
industrial
sectors
where
chemical
substances
are
manufactured
and
used,
and
maximum
concentration);
and

The
frequency
and
duration
of
potential
exposures
(
e.
g.,
data
elements
concerning
industrial
function
categories
and
commercial
and
consumer
use
categories).

Effective
risk
screening
and
risk
management
depend
on
both
exposure
information
and
hazard
information.
The
IURA
will
provide
EPA
with
data
that
will
more
accurately
and
realistically
gauge
potential
exposure.
The
exposure­
related
information
reported
under
the
IURA
will
be
used
in
combination
with
hazard
information
such
as
that
developed
under
TSCA
section
4
test
rules
and
enforceable
consent
agreements/
orders,
through
voluntary
efforts
such
as
the
HPV
Program,
and
other
sources.
Because
of
the
limitations
of
the
data
available
from
past
information
collections
(
such
as
the
one­
time
reporting
of
information
by
a
subset
of
the
manufacturers
of
a
small
number
of
selected
high
production
volume
chemicals
as
was
included
in
EPA's
voluntary
Use
and
Exposure
Information
Project
(
UEIP)),
EPA
is
collecting
the
information
necessary
to
develop
an
exposure
database.
Table
1­
2
provides
examples
of
how
the
exposure
information
will
be
used.
The
new
data
elements
included
in
the
2006
IUR
collection
will
supplement
the
data
collected
under
the
previous
IUR,
improving
EPA's
ability
to
evaluate
each
of
these
components
of
exposure.
This
new
exposure­
related
information
will
facilitate
a
more
efficient
and
effective
screening
of
chemical
substances
based
either
on
exposure
or
on
risk.

basis
to
a
calendar­
year
basis.

CBI
claims
for
production
volume
ranges
allowed
Submitters
can
now
claim
their
production

ranges
as
CBI,
in
addition
to
the
existing
requirement
that
submitters
report
a
specific
production
volume
number
and
the
CBI
status
of
that
number.
This
change
allows
submitters
to
assert
a
confidentiality
claim
for
specific

information
while
releasing
the
more
general
production

now
required
for
IUR
submissions
to
EPA.
This
requirement
is
similar
to
the
up­
front
substantiation
requirement
for
chemical
identity
claims.

Partial
exemption
for
specific
chemical
substances
added
A
partial
reporting
period
was
created
for
specific
chemical
substances
where
EPA
identified
that
there
is
a
low

and
use
information
related
to
the
chemical.
These
chemicals
are
not
subject

2.1
Is
Your
Chemical
Substance
Reportable
Under
the
IUR?

A
chemical
substance
that
is
reportable
under
the
IUR
must
appear
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
as
of
August
25,
2002,
and
not
be
exempt
from
reporting
under
the
IUR.
The
TSCA
Inventory
and
the
specific
exemptions
from
reporting
are
described
below.

2.1.1
Is
Your
Chemical
Substance
in
the
TSCA
Inventory?

The
following
subsections
provide
information
to
determine
if
your
chemical
substance
is
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.

2.1.1.1
What
is
the
TSCA
Inventory?
The
TSCA
Inventory
is
a
list
of
toxic
chemical
substances
distributed
in
commerce
in
the
United
States.
The
TSCA
Inventory
was
originally
compiled
from
reports
submitted
in
1978
and
1979
by
manufacturers,
importers,
and
certain
processors.
Subpart
A
of
40
CFR
Part
711
prescribes
criteria
for
including
a
substance
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.
New
chemical
substances
are
added
to
the
TSCA
Inventory
when
companies
that
have
submitted
Premanufacture
Notifications
(
PMNs)
or
Polymer
Exemption
Applications
to
EPA
under
section
5
of
TSCA
notify
EPA
that
they
have
begun
to
manufacture
or
import
the
chemical
substance.

EPA
keeps
a
Master
Inventory
File,
which
is
the
authoritative
list
of
all
the
eligible
chemical
substances
that
have
been
reported
to
EPA
for
inclusion
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.
EPA
also
makes
the
inventory
list,
commonly
referred
to
as
the
Public
Inventory,
available
to
the
general
public.

How
Do
You
Determine
Whether
a
Chemical
Substance
is
Listed
on
the
TSCA
Chemical
Substance
Inventory?
You
may
use
the
following
methods
to
determine
if
your
chemical
substance
is
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory:

Locate
the
substance
in
the
Public
Inventory
(
see
Chapter
7
for
more
information);

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

Search
company
records
for
a
PMN
or
other
communication
that
confirmed
with
EPA
the
substance
was
in
the
TSCA
Inventory;
and

Search
company
records
for
a
Notice
of
Commencement
of
manufacture
or
import
for
a
PMN
substance
that
was
submitted
to
EPA.

Several
commercial
databases
have
incorporated
the
Public
Inventory
(
which
excludes
substances
with
confidential
identities)
and
indicate
whether
a
given
chemical
substance
is
included
in
the
TSCA
Inventory.
Because
these
databases
are
not
generated
or
peer­
reviewed
by
EPA,
the
Agency
cannot
guarantee
the
accuracy
of
the
information
in
these
databases.
Thus,
there
is
no
penalty
for
reporting
a
substance
that
may
be
listed
on
a
commercial
database,
but
is
not
required
to
be
reported.
However,
if
a
commercial
database
that
you
use
fails
to
include
all
reportable
chemicals
and,
as
a
result,
you
fail
to
report
information
for
these
chemicals,
you
would
be
in
violation
of
TSCA.
Please
note
that
hydrates
are
not
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory;
however,
you
are
required
to
report
the
CAS
registry
number
of
the
corresponding
anhydrous
form.
You
should
adjust
the
reported
production
volume
to
exclude
water.

For
example,
Company
A
manufactures
50,000
pounds
of
copper
(
II)
sulfate
hydrate,
CuSO
4

5H
2
O.
This
chemical
should
be
reported
under
the
anhydrous
form
of
copper
(
II)
sulfate,
CuSO
4.
To
calculate
the
production
volume,
multiply
the
mass
of
hydrated
compound
by
the
weight
fraction
(
ratio
of
molecular
weights)
of
anhydrous
copper
(
II)
sulfate,
CuSO
4,
in
the
hydrated
copper
(
II)
sulfate,
CuSO
4


The
molecular
weights
of
CuSO

2
O
are
159.6
pounds
per
pound­
mole
and
249.7
pounds

pound­
mole,
respectively.
Company
A
should
report
31,658
pounds
of
anhydrous
copper
(
II)
sulfate
on
Form
U
based
on
the
following
calculation:

Since
31,658
pounds
is
greater
than
or
equal
to
25,000
pounds
but
less
than
300,000
pounds,
Company
A
should
complete
Parts
I
and

What
Do
You
Do
if
You
Cannot
Find
Your
Chemical
Substance
in

If
after
having
checked
the
above
sources,
you
are
still
uncertain
as
to
whether
a
chemical
substance
is
listed
on
the
TSCA
Inventory,
write
a

Your
letter
should
request
that
EPA
search
the
Master
Inventory
File,
including
confidential
substances,
to
determine
whether
the
substance
is
listed.
Because
searches
of
the
Master
Inventory
File
are
labor­
intensive,
you
are
urged
to
request
such
a
search
only
if
your
search
of
the
Public
Inventory,
commercial
databases,
and
your
company's
records
fails
to
resolve
your

Moreover,
if

that
you
will
receive

in
time
for
you
to
complete
the
reporting
form
before
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.

In
communicating
with
EPA,
you
must
substantiate
the
fact
that
you
are
manufacturing
or
importing
the
substance
in
question
by
providing
the
following
information:

Company
identification,
address,
and
telephone
number;

Specific
chemical
identity
of
the
substance,
preferably
a
Chemical
Abstracts
Service
(
CAS)
Preferred
or
Index
Name,
a
CAS
Registry
Number
(
if
available),
and
a

(
if
available);

A
statement
signed
by
a
company
officer
that
your
company
is
manufacturing
and/
or
importing
the
chemical
substance
for
commercial
purposes;

A
statement
signed
by
a
company
officer
that
your
company
is
requesting
this
search
pursuant
to
the
IUR;
and

An
elemental
analysis
of
the
substance.

Your
letter
may
be
claimed
CBI
if
you
have
reason
to
believe
that
release
of
the
information
would
reveal
trade
secrets
or
confidential
commercial
or
financial
information
(
as
provided
by
section
14
of
TSCA
and
40
CFR
Part
2).
If
you
assert
that
any
of
the
information
contained
in
the
letter
is
CBI,
you
must
clearly
identify
the
information
that
is
claimed
confidential
by
marking
the
specific
information
on
each
page
with
a
label
as
"
confidential
business
information,"
"
proprietary,"
or
"
trade
secret."
EPA's
procedures
for
processing
and
reviewing
confidentiality
claims
are
set
forth
at
40
CFR
Part
2,
subpart
B.
EPA
strongly
encourages
you
to
review
confidentiality
claims
carefully
to
ensure
that
the
information
in
question
falls
within
the
protection
of
TSCA
section
14
and
to
limit
confidentiality
claims
as
much
as
possible.

If
you
claim

EPA
recommends
that
you
place

and
your

Nothing
on
the

by
certified
or
registered

requested,
or
sent
by

or
U.
S.
Postal

Express
Mail.
Regular
first
class
mail
should
never
be
used
to
send

Failure
to
follow
proper
procedures
regarding
CBI
materials
may
result
in
EPA
making
the
information
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice
to
you.
Thus,
it
is
important
that
you
follow
up
with
EPA
to
determine
if
your
claim
was
substantiated.

After
processing
your
response,
EPA
will
inform
you
whether
the
chemical
substance
is
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
and
whether
the
substance
is
subject
to
reporting
under
the
IUR.
If
the
chemical
substance
is
found
on
the
confidential
TSCA
Inventory,
EPA
will
notify
the
person(
s)
who
originally
reported
the
substance
that
another
person
has
requested
information
pursuant
to
the
IUR
procedures
and,
therefore,
was
told
that
the
chemical
substance
is
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
and
that
it
is
subject
to
reporting.

If
you
are
an
importer
and
cannot
provide
all
of
the
required
information
because
your
foreign
manufacturer/
supplier
is
maintaining
it
as
confidential,
the
manufacturer/
supplier
can
send
the
information
directly
to
EPA.
Be
advised
that
it
is
the
obligation
of
the
importer
to
ensure
that
the
foreign
manufacturer
complies
with
the
IUR
requirements.
See
Chapter
6,
Section
6.4of
this
document
for
more
details
related
to
foreign
manufacturers/

2.1.2
Is
Your
Chemical
Substance
Excluded
from
Reporting?

Four
categories
of
substances,
though
included
in
the
TSCA
Inventory,
are
largely
excluded
from
reporting
under
the
IUR.
These
categories
are
polymers,
certain
natural
gas
streams,
microorganisms,
and
naturally
occurring
substances.
Refer
to
section
711.26
of
the
IUR
and
to
the
preamble
of
the
Federal
Register
notice
announcing
the
rule
(

for
precise
definitions
of
these
categories.
Polymers,
certain
natural

and
microorganisms
are
not
excluded
from

when
they
are
subject
to
a
rule
proposed
or
promulgated
under
certain
sections
of
TSCA.
See
Section
2.1.3
for
more
details.

Certain
petroleum
process
streams
are
excluded
from
parts
of
the
reporting
requirements
(
although
some
information
must
still
be
reported
for
petroleum
process
streams).
Inorganic
substances,
which
were
previously
excluded,
are
no
longer
excluded
from
IUR
reporting;
however,
inorganic
substances
are
excluded
from
parts
of
the
reporting
requirements
for
the
2006
reporting
cycle.
See
Section

for
further
information.

To

most
of
these
substances
in
the
printed
and
electronic
versions
of
the

2.1.2.1
Polymers.
The
IUR
definition
of
polymer
is
sufficiently
broad
to
include
virtually
all
those
substances
that
are
generally
considered
polymers.
These
include
siloxanes,
silicone,
rubber,
lignin,
polysaccharides
(
such
as
sugar
and
gums),
proteins
(
such
as
gelatin
and
hemoglobin),
and
enzymes.
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.
Please
note
that
a
few
of
the
polymerization
gases
that
are
not
considered
polymers
might
have
been
incorrectly
flagged
with
"
XU"
because
of
the
inclusion
of
the
word
"
polymer"
in
the
chemical
name.
These
substances
are
reportable
under
the
IUR.
See
40
CFR
711.26(
a)(

for
the
regulatory
definition
of
polymers.

2.1.2.2
Microorganisms.
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
microorganism
is
reportable
unless
otherwise
excluded..

Natural
Gases.
Table

that
are
exempt
from
IUR
reporting;
the
natural
gas
exemption
is
new
for
the
2006
reporting

EPA
believes
that
adequate
information
has
been
collected
on
these
chemical
substances
to
date
to
fulfill
EPA's
current
needs
and
the
needs
of
other

raw
agricultural
commodities,
water,
air,
natural
gas,
crude
oil,
rocks,
ores,
and
minerals.
However,
since
the
section
711.4(
b)
exclusion
is
a
process­
specific
exclusion
rather
than
a
chemical­
specific
one,
if
you
produce
any
substance
in
a
manner
other
than
as
described
in
section
711.4(
b),
you
are
required
to
report
unless
otherwise
excluded.
For
this
reason
minerals
and
certain
agricultural
products
are
sometimes
considered
not
to
be
naturally
occurring
because
of
their
method
of
production.

Further,
section
711.26(
a)(
3)
intentionally
exempts
from
IUR
reporting
any
chemical
substance
that
is
isolated/
removed
from
nature
for
a
commercial
purpose
by
any
of
the
means
listed
in
section
711.4(
b).
It
also
exempts
any
other
chemical
substance
derived
or
separated
from
the
substance
originally
removed
from
nature,
provided
such
derivation
involved
only
the
means
specified
in
that
section
(
e.
g.,
being
obtained
by
aqueous
extraction
or
flotation
or
by
pressing).
Whether
a
substance
is
considered
"
naturally
occurring"
depends
on
the
manner
in
which
it
is
produced
and
isolated.

Examples
of
Evaluating
Naturally
Occurring
Substance
Exemptions
!

Calcined
clays
that
are
formed
by
heating
naturally
occurring
clay
are
must
be
reported
because
such
heating
is
not
done
solely
to
remove
water;
a
chemical
change
is
primarily
intended.

!

The
naturally
occurring
substance
category
contains
only
those
substances
that
are
removed/
isolated
from
nature
essentially
by
physical
or
natural
means.
Using
water
to
extract
a
chemical
substance
from
a
naturally
occurring
substance
is
considered
a
natural
means
of
removal.
However,
using
any
other
solvent
is
not
considered
a
natural
means
of
removal.

!

In
an
electrostatic
separation,
small
particles
are
removed
from
a
liquid
or
gas
stream.
The
process
is
essentially
analogous
to
a
filtration
or
gravitational
separation.
Substances
that
are
processed
by
this
means
fall
within
the
naturally
occurring
substances
category.

!

The
mining
of
coal
is
included
in
the
naturally
occurring
chemical
substances
category.
However,
heating
coal
to
produce
light
oils
or
other
chemical
substances
is
not
included
in
this
category
and
must
be
reported.

!

Ammonia
and
nitric
acid
are
generally
produced
by
chemical
synthesis
and
are,
therefore,
not
considered
naturally
occurring.

2.1.3
When
Must
You
Still
Report
an
Excluded
Substance?

With
the
exception
of
naturally
occurring
substances,
a
chemical
substance
that
falls
into
one
of
the
excluded
categories
must
still
be
reported
if
it
is
the
subject
of
any
of
the
following:
a
rule
proposed
or
promulgated
under
sections
4,
5(
a)(
2),
5(
b)(
4),
or
6
of
TSCA;
an
order
issued
under
TSCA
sections
5(

or
5(
f);
or
relief
that
has
been
granted
under
a
civil
action
under
TSCA
sections
5
or
7.
Appendix
C
lists
the
chemical
substances
that
fall
into
these
categories.
However,
if
you
are
unable
to
determine
whether
the
specific
chemical
substance
you
manufacture
or
import
falls
under
one
of
the
generic
chemical
names
listed
in
Appendix
C,
you
can
contact
EPA
to
see
if
the
specific
substance
is
reportable
(
see
Chapter
8
for
contact
information).

If
you
qualify
as
a
small
manufacturer
(
see
Section
2.2.1),
you
must
still
report
if
you
produced
25,000
pounds
or
more
of
a
reportable
substance
that
is
the
subject
of
a
rule
proposed

When
is
the
Manufacture
or
Importation
of
Chemical
Substances
Subject
to
TSCA
but
not
Included
on
the
TSCA
Chemical
Substance
Inventory?

When
checking
the
chemical
substances
you
manufacture
or
import
against
the
TSCA
Inventory,
you
may
discover
that
you
are
manufacturing
or
importing
substances
that
are
not
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
but
should
have
been
reported
to
EPA
and
were
not.
Such
manufacture
or
importation
is
in
violation
of
section
15
of
TSCA
and
could
subject
you
to
administrative
or
criminal
penalties.
Similarly,
if
you
are
manufacturing
or
importing
a
substance
that
was
previously
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
but
has
subsequently
been
delisted,
then
you
are
also
in
violation
of
section
15
of
TSCA.
If
either
of
these
situations
applies
to
you,
you

2.2
Are
You
a
Manufacturer
Who
Is
Required
to
Report
That
Chemical
Substance?

Even
if
you
manufacture
(
including
companies
that
manufacture
solely
for
export)
or
import
a
chemical
substance
reportable
under
the
IUR,
you
may
be
exempt
from
the
reporting
requirements
for
that
substance.
To
determine
whether
you
must
report,
you
must
answer
the
following
three
questions:

Do
you
qualify
as
a
small
manufacturer
with
respect
to
the
chemical
substance?

Did
you
manufacture
or
import
25,000
pounds
or
more
of
the
reportable
substance
at
any
single
site
during
the
calendar
year
immediately
preceding
the
reporting
period
(
e.
g.,
during
2005)?

Did
you
manufacture
or
import
the
reportable
substance
under
circumstances
that
do
not
require
reporting
(
e.
g.,
considering
other
reporting
exemptions)?

2.2.1
Are
You
a
Small
Manufacturer?

Small
manufacturers
(
including
both
manufacturers
and
importers)
are
usually
exempt
from
reporting
under
the
IUR.
Small
manufacturers
are
still
required
to
report
on
substances
subject
to
a
rule
proposed
or
promulgated
under
certain
sections
of
TSCA.
See
Section
2.1.3
for
more
details.
You
qualify
as
a
small
manufacturer
if
you
meet
either
one
of
the
following
criteria:

2.2.2
Do
You
Manufacture
the
Chemical
in
Quantities
of
25,000
Pounds
or
More?

Unless
you
are
a
small
manufacturer
as
described
in
Section
2.2.1,
if
you
manufactured
(
including
imported)
25,000
pounds
or
more
of
a
reportable
chemical
substance
at
any
single
site
you
owned
or
controlled
at
any
given
time
during
calendar
year
2005,
you
are
subject
to
reporting.

2.2.2.1
Definitions.
The
definitions
of
three
terms
necessary
to
understand
these
requirements
are
presented
here.

Manufacture.
Manufacture
means
to
import,
produce,
or
manufacture
with
the
purpose
of
obtaining
an
immediate
or
eventual
commercial
advantage.
This
includes,
for
example,
manufacturing
or
importing
any
amount
of
a
chemical
substance
for
commercial
distribution
(
including
test
marketing)
or
for
use
by
the
manufacturer,
including
use
for
product
research
and
development
or
as
an
intermediate.
If
you
manufacture
an
IUR­
reportable
chemical
substance
solely
for
export,
you
are
required
to
report
and
otherwise
comply
with
all
IUR
requirements
applicable
to
manufacturers
of
all
IUR­
reportable
chemicals.

Importers.
The
site
where
you
import
a
chemical
substance
is
considered
the
site
of
the
operating
unit
within
your
organization
that
is
directly
responsible
for
importing
the
substance
and
controls
the
import
transaction.
In
some
cases,
the
import
site
may
be
the
organization's
headquarters
in
the
United
States;
in
others,
it
is
a
specific
plant
site
or
a
broker.
If
your
company
is
importing
a
chemical
substance
at
a
given
site,
more
than
one
person
may
meet
the
criterion
for
importer.
In
this
instance,
only
one
person
should
submit
a
report
to
EPA.

Example
2­
2.
The
headquarters
of
Company
A
is
located
in
Town
U.
Site
1
of
Company
A
is
located
in
Town
V,
which
is
in
a
different
state.
Employee
M,
based
at
the
headquarters,
purchases
and
arranges
to
have
500,000
pounds
of
Chemical
X
imported
from
Japan
to
Site
1.
Employee
N,
based
at
Site
1,
is
also
involved
with
making
arrangements
to
receive
Chemical
X.
Both
Employee
M
and
Employee
N
are
defined
as
importers,
but
only
one
is
required
to
report.

180,000
pounds
is
delivered

The
20,000
pounds
delivered
to
Site
1
does
not
need
to
be
reported
because
it
is
below
the
25,000
pound
threshold.
Company
A
must
complete
two
forms,
one
for
Site
2
and
one
for
Site
3.
These
forms
may
be
completed
by
either
a
representative
from

2.2.2.2
Meeting
the
25,000­
Pound
Annual
Production
Volume
Threshold.
You
must
report
a
chemical
substance
only
if
you
manufactured
and/
or
imported
25,000
pounds
or
more
of
the
substance
at
any
single
site
you
owned
or
controlled
during
the
calendar
year
immediately
preceding
the
reporting
period.
Moreover,
if
during
the
year
you
manufactured
25,000
pounds
or
more
of
the
substance
at
some
sites
and
less
than
25,000
pounds
at
other
sites,
you
will
need
to
report
the
substance
only
for
those
sites
at
which
you
manufactured
and/
or
imported
25,000
pounds
or
more.
Some
companies
may
both
manufacture
and
import
the
same
substance.
These
companies
should
add
together
the
manufacturing
and
importation
volumes
at
each
site
to
determine
whether
they
exceed
the
25,000­
pound
threshold.

In
many
cases,
reportable
substances
are
contained
within
a
mixture.
Although
mixtures
are
not
reportable,
the
chemical
substances
making
up
a
mixture
are
reportable.
If
you
manufacture
the
substances
as
part
of
a
mixture,
you
must
determine
for
each
substance
in
the
mixture
whether
the
production
volume
was
over
25,000
pounds.
Similarly,
if
you
import
a
mixture,
you
must
determine
for
each
substance
in
the
mixture
whether
its
importation
volume
is
25,000
pounds
or
more.
Note,
however,
that
a
person
who
produces
a
mixture
by
combining
existing
substances
without
a
chemical
reaction
is
not
a
manufacturer
of
those
substances
and,
therefore,
does
not
have
to
report
those
substances
under
the
IUR.

Table

examples
of
how
the

Do
You
Qualify
for
Any
Additional
Reporting
Exemptions.
If
you
manufacture
or
import
reportable
substances
under
the
following
circumstances,
you
are
not
required
to
report
for
those
substances
under
the
IUR:

The
chemical
substance
is
manufactured
or
imported
solely
in
small
quantities
for
research
and
development
and
not
intended
for
other
uses.
For
purposed
of
IUR
reporting,
small
quantities
for
research
and
development
is
defined
as
any
chemical
substance
manufactured,
imported,
or
processed
in
quantities
less
than
1,000
pounds
annually
and
used
for
research
and
development
purposes.

The
chemical
substance
is
imported
as
an
article
or
part
of
an
article.
An
article
is
defined
in
40
CFR
711.3(
d)
as
"
a
manufactured
item
(
1)
which
is
formed
to
a
specific
shape
or
design
during
manufacture,
(
2)
which
has
end­
use
function(
s)
dependent
in
whole
or
in
part
upon
its
shape
or
design
during
end
use,
and
(
3)
which
has
either
no
change
of
chemical
composition
during
its
end
use
or
only
those
changes
resulting
in
compositions
which
have
no
commercial
purpose
separate
from
that
of
the
article
and
that
may
occur
as
described
in
section
711.4(
d)(
5),
except
that
fluids
and
particles
are
not
considered
articles
regardless
of
shape
or
design."
EPA
considers
imported
items
as
articles
if
they
are
manufactured
in
a
specific
shape
or
design
for
a
particular
end­
use
application
and
this
design
is
maintained
as
an
essential
feature
in
the
finished
product.
Thus,
EPA
views
materials
such
as
metal
or
plastic
sheets,
wire,
coated
fabric,
rolled
carpet,
sheets
of
plywood,
and
other
similar
materials
as
articles,
even
if,
for
example,
subsequent
to
import
they
are
rolled
or
drawn
thinner,
cut,
printed,
laminated,
or
thermoformed,
so
long
as
they
meet
the
above
criteria.
Substances
that
are
part
of
such
articles
are
not
subject
to
reporting
under
the
IUR.
If
an
item
is
manufactured
in
a
particular
shape
for
the
purpose
of
shipping
convenience
and
the
shape
has
no
function
in
the
end
use,
it
would
not
be
considered
an
article.
Thus,
chemical
substances
that
are
part
of
items
such
as
metal
ingots,
billets,
and
blooms
are
subject
to
reporting
under
the
IUR.

Company
A,
manufactures
400,000
pounds
of
a
chemical
intermediate
called
Chemical
X
during
the
production
of
a

and
is
directly
transferred
to
Reactor
2
where
it
is
mixed

without
being
reacted.
Company
A
does
not
need
to
report
a

for
Chemical
X
because
it
is
considered
to
be
a
nonisolated
intermediate
and
is
therefore
fully

Company
B,
manufactures
400,000
pounds
of
a
chemical
intermediate
called
Chemical
Y
during
the

the
desired
polymer,
at
which
point
Chemical
Y
is
destroyed.
Chemical
Y
never
leaves
this

site.
Company
B
is
required
to
report
Chemical

form
of
thin
sheets.
Company
C
cuts
these
sheets
into
the
desired
size
and
shape,
which
is
sold
to
consumers.
Company
C
is
not
required
to
report
Chemical
Z
because
it
is
considered
to
be
an
article
and
therefore
exempt
from
reporting.

Company
D
imports
10,000,000
pounds
of
Chemical
W
in

form
of
pellets.
Company
D
subsequently
melts

Chemical
W
into
the

which
is
sold
directly
to

Company
D
is
required

Three
categories
of
substances
are
exempt
from
this
reporting
requirement.
Manufacturers
and
importers
of
certain
petroleum
process
streams
and
inorganic
substances,
regardless
of
the
production
volume,
do
not
need
to
complete
Part
III
of
Form
U
for
these
substances.
EPA
also
created
a
partial
exemption
for
specific
chemical
substances
where
EPA
has
identified
that
there
is
a
low
interest
in
the
IUR
processing
and
use
information
related
to
the
chemical.
These
three
categories
are
described
in
more
detail
below
.

2.3.2.1
Petroleum
Process
Streams.
For
purposes
of
this
rule,
the
petroleum
process
streams
included
in
the
exemption
are
the
multicomponent
complex
chemical
substances
listed
by
CAS
Registry
Number
at
40
CFR
Part
711.26(
b)(
1).

The
chemical
substances
listed
as
petroleum
process
streams
were
derived
from
the
1983
publication
of
the
American
Petroleum
Institute
(
API)
entitled
Petroleum
Process
Stream
Terms
Included
in
the
Chemical
Substances
Inventory
Under
the
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA)
(
API,
1985).
Chemical
substances
listed
in
the
API
document
consisting
of
a
single­
component
chemical,
except
for
water,
are
not
considered
petroleum
process
streams
for
IUR
reporting
purposes.

2.3.2.2
Inorganic
Substances.
For
the
2006
reporting
cycle,
manufacturers
(
including
importers)
of
inorganic
substances,
as
defined
in
40
CFR
711.26.(

2.3.2.3
Partial
Exemption
for
Specific
Chemical
Substances.
EPA
created
a
partial
exemption
for
the
specific
chemical
substances
listed
at
40
CFR
711.26(
b)(
2)(
iv).
EPA
determined
there
is
a
low

and
use
information
related

chemicals.
Manufacturers
(
including
importers)
of
these
substances
are
exempt
from
reporting
the
information
requested
on
Part
III
of
Form
U
but
must
still
report
the
information
requested
on
Parts
I
and
II
of
Form
U
if
other
reporting
criteria
are
met.
EPA
is
establishing
a
process
for
revising
the
list
of
exempted
chemical
substances,
which
allows
anyone
to
submit
a
written
request
for
EPA
to
update
the

time
information
is
submitted
to
EPA
or
if
they
are
submitted
in
a
manner
inconsistent
with
the
rule
and
reporting
instructions.

You
can
claim
certain
information
submitted
to
EPA
under
this
rule
as
confidential
if
you
have
reason
to
believe
that
release
of
the
information
would
reveal
trade
secrets
or
confidential
commercial
or
financial
information
(
as
provided
by
section
14
of
TSCA
and
40
CFR
Part
2).
EPA's
procedures
for
processing
and
reviewing
confidentiality
claims
are
set
forth
at
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
EPA
strongly
encourages
you
to
review
confidentiality
claims
carefully
to
ensure
that
the
information
in
question
falls
under
the
protection
of
TSCA
section
14,
and
to
limit
confidentiality
claims
as
much
as
possible.

To
claim
information
as
confidential,
you
must
check
the
appropriate
box
and
have
an
authorized
official
sign
the
certification
statement
on
the
reporting
form.
If
you
fail
to
do
so,
EPA
could
release
the
information
to
the
public
without
further
notice
to
you.
Thus,
it
is
important
that
you
follow
up
with
EPA
to
determine
if
your
claim
was
substantiated.
As
reflected
in
the
regulations,
by
signing
the
certification
statement
you
certify
that
your
claims
of
confidentiality
are
made
in
good
faith.
Procedures
for
claiming
information
submitted
electronically
(
such
as
a
submission
on
diskette)
as
confidential
are
specified
in
Chapter
6.
CBI
should
not
be
submitted
by
e­
mail.
See
Section
2.1.1.3
for
CBI
packaging
instructions.

Specific
procedures
for
CBI
claims
of
chemical
identity,
manufacturing
plant
and
plant
site
information,
and
chemical
production
volume
information
are
addressed
below.

4.1.1
Chemical
Identity
You
may
assert
a
CBI
claim
for
the
specific
identity
of
a
chemical
substance
only
if
EPA
treats
that
substance
identity
as
confidential
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
at
the
time
your
report
is
submitted
(
i.
e.,
the
substance
is
not
on
the
Public
Inventory).
Both
confidential
and
nonconfidential
substances
can
be
reported
on
the
same
form.
Confidential
substances
can
be
included
in
diskette
submissions
(
see
Chapter
6
for
further
discussion
of
diskette
submission
procedures).
For
all
CBI
claims,
you
must
follow
up
with
EPA
to
make
sure
your
claim
was
substantiated.
DRAFT:
Chapter
4.0
How
to
Report
CBI
Information

No
CBI
claim
for
chemical
identity
will
be
accepted
unless
accompanied
by
a
separate
written
substantiation
for
each
chemical
substance
claimed
as
CBI.
To
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
for
the
identity
of
a
reportable
chemical
substance,
you
must
submit
with
Form
U
detailed
written
answers
to
the
questions
in
Table
4­
1,
signed
and
dated
by
an
authorized
official
of
the
company.
The
answers
must
be
complete
and
specific
to
the
chemical
substance
in
question.
If
any
of
the
information
contained
in
the
answers
to
these
questions
is
asserted
to
contain
CBI,
you
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."
If
the
required
substantiation
does
not
accompany
your
Form
U,
EPA
may
make
the
chemical
identities
reported
on
the
form
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice
to
you.
Thus,
it
is
important
that
you
follow
up
with
EPA
to
determine
if
your
claim
was
substantiated.
See
section
2.1.1.3
for
CBI
packing
instructions.

If
you
are
manufacturing
or
importing
a
chemical
substance
that
is
currently
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
as
confidential,
you
are
encouraged
not
to
assert
confidentiality
claims
if
circumstances
are
now
such
that
confidentiality
is
no
longer
necessary.
If
you
report
a
previously
confidential
substance
as
nonconfidential,
that
substance
will
subsequently
be
listed
in
the
TSCA
Inventory
as
nonconfidential.

4.1.2
Manufacturing
Plant
Site
Identity
Under
the
IUR,
you
may
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
for
the
specific
manufacturing
plant
site
identity
if
release
of
that
identity
would
reveal
trade
secrets
or
confidential
commercial
or
financial
information
as
provided
by
TSCA
section
14.
While
EPA
does
not
question
the
occasional
need
for
this
claim,
it
believes
that
these
claims
should
be
limited
only
to
those
circumstances
in
which
it
is
absolutely
necessary.

To
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
you
are
required
to
check
the
CBI
box
at
block
2.2
of
Part
II
on
the
reporting
form
indicating
a
confidentiality
claim
for
plant
site
information
and
you
are
required
to
substantiate
that
claim.
To
do
this,
you
must
submit
with
Form
U
detailed
written
answers
to
the
two
questions
in
Table
4­
2,
signed
and
dated
by
an
authorized
official.
This
upfront
substantiation
is
not
required
for
company
information
CBI
claims
(
block
2.1
on
Form
U).

If
you
assert
that
any
of
the
information
contained
in
the
answers
to
these
questions
contains
CBI,
you
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."
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
is
indicated
on
the
Form
U
submitted
to
EPA
under
this
part,
or
if
confidentiality
claim
substantiation
is
not
submitted
with
Form
U
,
EPA
may
make
the
information
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice
to
you.
Thus,
it
is
important
that
you
follow
up
with
EPA
to
determine
if
your
claim
was
substantiated.

If
so,
what
measures
have
been
taken
to
guard
against
the
discovery
of
its
identity?

9.
If
the
chemical
substance
leaves
the
site
in
a
product
that
is
available
to
the
public
or
your

by
analysis
of
the
product?

10.
For
what
purpose
do
you
manufacture
(
including
import)
the
substance?

11.
Has
EPA,
another
federal
agency,
or
any
federal
court
made
any
pertinent
confidentiality
determinations
regarding
this
chemical
substance?
If
so,
please
attach
copies

Questions
To
Be
Answered
When
Making
Plant
Site
Identity
CBI
Claims
No.
Question
1.
Has
site
information
been
linked
with
a

claimed
as
confidential
in
any
of
these
instances?

2.
What
harmful
effect,
if
any,
to
your
competitive
position
do
you
think
would
result
from
the
identity
of
the
site
and
the
chemical
substance?
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?

4.1.3
Chemical
Production
Volume
Information
Under
the
IUR,
you
may
check
the
appropriate
box
on
Form
U
to
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
for
chemical
production
volume
information,
if
the
release
of
that
information
would
reveal
trade
secrets
or
confidential
commercial
or
financial
information
as
provided
by
section
14
of
TSCA.
Additionally,
if
you
do
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
for
your
specific
production
volume,
you
may
also
choose
to
determine
if
CBI
protection
is
warranted
for
production
volume
information
in
ranges.
The
ranges
are
similar
to
those
used
for
the
original
TSCA
Inventory
and
are
listed
in
Table

.
If
you
determine
that
your
production
volume
range
also
warrants
CBI
protection,
you
must

If
you
are

You

5.6.7
Number
of
Workers
(
Part

EPA
requires
that
you
report
your
estimate
of
the
total
number
of
workers
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed
to
the
chemical
substance
at

For
Block
2.7,
report
the
total
number
of
workers
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed
at
the
manufacturing
site
only.
For
each
substance,
report
the
range
code
that
corresponds
to
the
appropriate
number
of
workers
as
shown
in
Table
5­
3.

EPA
defines
"
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed"
as
an
exposure
to
a
chemical
substance
which,
under
foreseeable
conditions
of
manufacture,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
or
use
of
the
chemical
substance.
Such
exposures
during
manufacturing
would
normally
include,
but
not
be
limited
to:
charging
reactor
vessels;
drumming;
bulk
loading;
cleaning
equipment;
maintenance
operations;
materials
handling
and
transfers;
sampling;
and
analytical
operations.
Covered
exposures
include
exposures
through
any
route
of
entry
(
inhalation,
ingestion,
skin
contact
or
absorption,
etc.),
but
exclude
accidental
exposures.
Workers
that
would
be
exposed
if
not
for
the
use
of
personal
protective
equipment
and
engineering
controls
should
be
included
in
the
reported
estimate.
For
example,
if
a
worker
wears
a
dust
mask

Percentage
of
Production
Volume.
To

extent
that
it
is
readily

estimate
the
percentage
of
production
volume
that
is
attributable
to
each
unique
combination
of
process/
use
code,
NAICS
code,
and
IFC
code.
The
quantity
should
be
accurate
to
the
extent
known
or
reasonably
obtainable
by
you.
Round
the
estimates
to
the
nearest
10percent
of
production
volume
However,
you
may
round
a
particular
combination
that
accounts
for
5
percent
or
less
of
the
total
production
volume
of
a
reportable
chemical
substance
to
0
percent,
unless
the
production
volume
attributable
to
that
combination
is
greater
than
or
equal
to
300,000
pounds.
In
such
cases,
you
must
report
the
percentage
of
production
volume
attributable
to
that
combination
to
the
nearest
1
percent
of
production
volume.
This
exception
to
the
general
rounding
rule
is
to
ensure
that
adequate
use
information
is
reported
for
gross
production
volumes
of
chemical
substances.
EPA
selected
the
300,000­

level
for
consistency
with
the

threshold
for
reporting
exposure
and
use
data.
If
you
wish
to
claim
this
information
as
confidential,
check
the
CBI
box.

The
total
percentage
of
production
volumes
associated
with
the
NAICS
code/
IFC
combinations
may
add
up
to
more
than
100

given
that
you
are

as
well
as

Additionally,

of
workers,
including
those
at
sites
not
under
your
control,
that
are
reasonably

at
facilities
that

the
substance
in
a
manner
that
corresponds
to
each
unique
combination
of

code,
NAICS
code,
and

code.
You
need
only
report
this
information
to
the
extent
that
it
is
readily
obtainable.
For
each
substance,
report
the
range
code
listed
in
Table
5­
9
that
corresponds
to
the
appropriate
number
of
workers.

EPA
defines
"
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed"
as
an
exposure
to
a
chemical
substance
which,
under
foreseeable
conditions
of
manufacture,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
or
use
of
the
chemical
substance.
Such
exposures
would
normally
include,
but
not
be
limited
to:

charging
reactor
vessels;
drumming;
bulk
loading;
cleaning
equipment;
maintenance
operations;
materials
handling
and
transfers;
sampling;
and
analytical
operations.
Such
exposures
during
industrial
uses
could
include,
but
not
be
limited
to,
spray
applications
of
the
chemical
(
paints,
coatings,
etc.)
and
misting
during
roll
coating/
printing.
Covered
exposures
include
exposures
through
any
route
of
entry
(
inhalation,
ingestion,
skin
contact
or
absorption,
etc.),
but
exclude
accidental
exposures.
Workers
that
would
be
exposed
if
not
for
the
use
of
personal
protective
equipment
and
engineering
controls
should
be
included
in
the
reported
estimate.
For
example,
if
a
worker
wears
a
dust
mask
and
gloves
while
handling
a
powdered
chemical
substance,
then
that
worker
should
be
reported
as
an
worker
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed.
Check
the
CBI
box
if
you
wish
to
claim
the
number
of
workers
as
confidential.

Typically,
at
least
two
workers
per
site
are
"
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed"
due
to
the
activities
mentioned
in
the
previous
paragraph.
Some
operations
will
involve
more
workers,
depending
upon
the
number
of
shifts
per
day,
the
number
of
operating
days
per
year,
the
number
of
worker
activities,
and
type

EPA
defines
"
intended
for
use
by
children"
to
mean
the
chemical
substance
or
mixture
is
used
in
a
product
that
is
specifically
intended
for
use
by
children
age
14
or
younger.
Your
chemical
substance
or
mixture
is
intended
for
use
by
children
when
you
answer
"
yes"
to
at
least
one
of
the
following
questions
for
the
product
into
which
your
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
or
will
be
used
by
children
age
14
or
younger;
or
(
3)
Is
the
advertising,
promotion,
or
marketing
of
the
product
aimed
at
children
age
14
or
younger?
Using
this
definition,
if
you
determine,
based
on
readily
obtainable
information,
that
your
chemical
substance
or
mixture
is
used
in
a
product
that
is
intended
to
be
used
by
children
age
14
or
younger,
you
must
report
this

the
Form
U.

To
illustrate
some
examples
of
"
Use
in

please
refer
to
Table

For
example,
EPA
believes
that
certain

to
name
a
few
­
are
typically

substance
that
is
attributable
to
each

under
your
control,
as
well
as
at

from
you
either
directly
or
indirectly
(
including
through
a
broker/

from
a
customer
of
the
submitter,
etc.),

product
category
to
the

EPA
selected
the

threshold
for
consistency
with
the

The
total

6.2
Correcting
Errors
in
Submissions
for
Original
Inventory
In
reporting
under
the
IUR,
you
may
find
that
an
error
was
made
when
you
reported
for
the
original
Inventory
in
1978
or
1979.
That
error
may
fall
into
one
of
the
following
categories:

The
chemical
identity
originally
reported
was
incomplete
or
inaccurate;

An
isolated
intermediate
occurring
during
the
manufacture
of
a
substance
was
not
recognized
when
previously
reported
for
the
Inventory;
and

EPA
informed
your
company
of
a
reporting
error
and
requested
a
correction
from
you,
to
which
you
did
not
respond.

If
an
error
occurred,
you
should
file
an
Inventory
Correction,
following
the
procedures
outlined
in
the
Federal
Register
notice
of
July
29,
1980
(
45
FR
50544).
Reference
the
original
Inventory
report
form
and
line
number
(
if
appropriate)
when
you
file
a
correction.
For
copies
of
the

you
are
actually
manufacturing
or
importing.
Explain
the

6.3
Recordkeeping
Requirements
The
Inventory
regulations
require
you
to
retain
records
on
IUR
reports
for
5
years
after
the
effective
date
of
the
applicable
reporting
period.
For
example,
if
you
submit
an
IUR
report
in
reporting
year
2006,
you
would
be
required
to
retain
the
records
on
which
the
report
is
based
until
December
23,
2011.

As
long
as
the
records
are
maintained
in
a
manner
consistent
with
normal
business
practice,
you
may
determine
their
exact
format.
Required
records
include
those
that
show
the
production
volume,
plant
site,
and
site­
limited
status
of
each
substance
reported.
If
a
substance
is
not
reported
because
its
site­
specific
annual
production
is
less
than
25,000
pounds,
only
the
sitespecific
production
records
for
that
substance
need
to
be
kept.

If
you
qualify
as
an
exempt
small
manufacturer,
you
need
to
keep
records
only
for
those
chemical
substances
that
you
are
required
to
report;
however,
in
claiming
an
exemption,
you
bear
the
burden
of
documenting
that
you
qualify
for
the
exemption.

6.4
Special
Instructions
for
Importers
and
Foreign
Suppliers
This
section
applies
to
importers
who
do
not
know
the
specific
chemical
identity
of
a
substance
because
the
foreign
supplier
chooses
to
keep
it
confidential.
If
you
are
such
an
importer,
you
are
still
responsible
for
ensuring
that
the
information
is
submitted
to
EPA.
You
can
accomplish
this
by
having
your
foreign
supplier
complete
some
of
the
information
on
Form
U,
as
follows:

1.
Include
a
cover
letter
with
your
Form
U,
stating,
"
The
identifying
numbers
and
specific
chemical
identities
for
the
substances
on
this
form
and
the
technical
contact
will
be
submitted
by
our
foreign
supplier."

2.
Use
a
separate
Form
U
for
each
foreign
supplier
who
does
not
inform
you
of
the
identity
of
the
chemical
substances
you
are
importing.
Do
not
report
by
diskette.
Do
not
use
the
same
report
form
for
substances
the
for
which
you
know
the
specific
identity.

3.
Photocopy
a
blank
Form
U
before
entering
any
information
on
the
form.

4.
On
the
original
form,
sign
the
certification
statement,
enter
the
technical
contact,
and
complete
Parts
I
through
IV
for
each
chemical
substance.
In
Part
II,
Section
I,
Block
1.1,
instead
of
entering
the
identifying
number,
enter
the
trade
name
or
other
designation
by
which
you
know
each
chemical
substance.
Leave
Block
1.2
blank.
Check
the
"
Chemical
CBI"
box
only
if
you
wish
to
claim
the
identities
of
the
chemicals
identified
on
the
form
as
confidential
(
you
must
answer
the
substantiation
questions
described
in
Section
4.1).
Foreign
suppliers
are
responsible
for
their
own
CBI
claims.
Send
this
original
form
to
EPA.

5.
On
the
photocopy
of
the
blank
form,
enter
only
the
plant
site
information.
Send
this
copy
to
your
foreign
supplier
to
complete
and
forward
to
EPA.

6.
The
foreign
supplier
should
enter
technical
contact­
company
information
on
the
copy
(
the
technical
contact
listed
here
should
be
the
foreign
supplier),
complete
Parts
I
through
IV,
and
enter
the
appropriate
specific
chemical
identities
in
Part
II,
Section
I.
Make
sure
that
your
supplier
understands
which
chemical
identities
belong
with
each
copy
of
the
Form
U.
If
the
foreign
supplier
wishes
to
claim
the
DRAFT:
Chapter
6.0

6­
4
chemical
identities
as
confidential,
the
supplier
should
check
the
"
CBI"
box
and
submit
a
substantiation
as
described
in
Section
4.1.
The
supplier
should
include
with
Form
U
a
letter
stating
that
this
information
is
being
submitted
by
a
foreign
supplier
on
behalf
of
the
importer,
who
should
be
identified.
Information
in
the
letter
may
be
claimed
as
confidential
by
circling
or
bracketing
the
text
to
be
protected
and
marking
the
page
"
CONFIDENTIAL."
Failure
to
so
mark
this
information
may
result
in
EPA
making
the
information
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice
to
the
supplier.
The
foreign
supplier
should
then
send
the
form
and
letter
to
EPA.

Note
that
it
is
your
responsibility
to
ensure
that
your
foreign
supplier
understands
how
to
complete
the
copy
of
Form
U
(
including
any
relevant
CBI
claims)
and
that
the
supplier
sends
the
information
to
EPA
by
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
If
the
supplier
fails
to
submit
the
information,
your
company
may
be
subject
to
an
enforcement
action.

7.2.2
Obtaining
the
Public
Inventory
in
Computer­
Readable
Format
The
Public
Inventory
is
available
on
computer
tapes
or
PC
diskettes.
Both
can
be
obtained
from
the
National
Technical
Information
Service
(
1­
800­
553­
NTIS).
The
computer
tape
version
consists
of
two
tapes.
The
first
tape,
the
Inventory
Preferred
Name
File,
is
sorted
by
CAS
Registry
Number.
It
contains
the
CAS
Registry
Number,
Preferred
CA
Index
Name,
molecular
formula,
and
if
applicable,
the
substance
definition
and
appropriate
EPA
flags
(
including
the
"
XU"
flag
for
substances
exempt
from
reporting
under
the
Inventory
Update
Rule)
for
nonconfidential
substances.
The
second
tape,
the
Inventory
Synonym
Name
file,
contains
the
same
data
elements
as
the
first
tape
but
differs
in
two
ways.
First,
it
is
sorted
by
chemical
name,
not
CAS
Registry
Number.
Second,
in
addition
to
the
Preferred
CA
Index
names,
this
file
also
includes
valid
names
(
synonyms)
as
supplied
to
EPA
by
Inventory
submitters.
In
contrast
to
the
printed
version
of
the
Public
Inventory,
which
includes
CAS­
derived
synonyms,
the
synonyms
listed
on
this
tape
are
only
those
reported
to
EPA
by
Inventory
submitters.

The
PC
diskette
version
is
a
set
of
diskettes
containing
the
information
on
both
computer
tapes
combined,
with
duplicate
information
removed.
CAS
Registry
Numbers
are
listed
in
numerical
order.

The
tapes
and
diskettes
only
contain
information
on
nonconfidential
chemical
substances.
They
do
not
refer
in
any
way
to
chemicals
on
the
TSCA
Inventory
claimed
as
confidential.

that
are
typically
naturally
occurring
materials
are
raw
agricultural
commodities,
water,
air,
natural
gas,
crude
oil,
rocks,
ores,
and
minerals.
However,
since
40
CFR
711.4(
b)
exclusion
is
a
process­
specific
exclusion
rather
than
a
chemical­
specific
one,
the

a
manner
other
than
as
described
in
40
CFR

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

New

Polymers.
The
IUR
definition
of
polymer
is
sufficiently
broad
to
include
virtually
all
those
substances
that
are
generally
considered
polymers.
These
include
polysaccharides,
such
as
sugar
and
gums,
and
all
classes
of
proteins,
enzymatic
or
structural.
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.

Process
is

of
a
chemical
substance
or
mixture,
after
its
manufacture,
for
distribution
in
commerce
(
1)
in
the
same
form
or
physical
state
as,
or
in
a
different
form
or
physical
state
from,
that
in
which
it
was
received
by
the
person
so
preparing
such
substance
or
mixture;
or
(
2)
as
part
of
a
mixture
or
article
containing
the
chemical
substance
or
mixture.

Process
for
"
commercial
purposes"
means
to
process
(
1)
for
distribution
in
commerce,
including
for
test
marketing
purposes;
or
(
2)
for
use
as
an
intermediate.

Readily
obtainable
information
is
information
known
by
management
and
supervisory
employees
of
the
submitter
company
who
are
associated
with
research,
development,
distribution,
technical
services,
or
marketing
of
the
reportable
chemical
substance.
Extensive
file
searches
are
not
required.

Reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed
is
an
exposure
to
a
chemical
substance
that,
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
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
(
e.
g.,
inhalation,
ingestion,
skin
contact,
absorption).
Accidental
or
theoretical
exposures
are
excluded.

Repackaging
is
the
physical
transfer
of
a
chemical
substance
or
mixture,
as
is,
from

of­
way
will
be
considered
one
site.
There
may
be
more
than
one
manufacturing
plant
on
a
single
site.
For
the
purposes
of
imported
chemical
substances,
the
site
will
be
the
business
address
of
the
importer.

the
reaction
product
and
are
therefore
not
considered
to
be
reactants.
Process
regulators,
other
than
polymerization
or
vulcanization
processes
Substances
that
change
the
rate
of
a
chemical
reaction,
start
or
stop
the
reaction,
or
otherwise
influence
the
course
of
the
reaction.
Process
regulators
do
not
become
part
of
the
reaction
product
and
are
therefore
not
considered
to
be
reactants.
Reducing
agents
Substances
that
reduce
a
chemical
compound,
usually
be
donating
electrons.
Reduction
generally
occurs
by
the
donation
of
one
or
more
electrons
by
an
atom
of
the
reducing
agent,
the
removal
of
oxygen
from
a
compound,
or
the
addition
of
hydrogen
to
a
compound.

Case
Studies
INTRODUCTION
This
Appendix
presents
seven
sample
case
studies
to
illustrate
how
to
report
information
on
Form
U.
EPA
designed
the
case
studies
to
cover
a
variety
of
reporting
scenarios.
These
case
studies
are
not
based
on
actual
data,
but
are
hypothetical
situations
generated
to
assist
submitters.
Each
case
study
is
divided
into
the
following
four
sections:

°
Scenario
­
This
section
presents
a
sample
manufacturing
scenario
for
a
single
chemical
including
processing
and
use
information.
For
some
cases,
a
figure
is
included
to
clarify
the
manufacture,
process,
and
use
information;

°
Key
Points
­
This
section
summarizes
the
information
from
the
previous
section
and
addresses
which
information
should
or
should
not
be
reported;

°
Completing
the
Form
­
This
section
discusses
the
responses
which
should
be
entered
on
Form
U
for
each
manufacturing
scenario.
This
section
explains
the
basis
and
rationale
for
the
reported
information;
and
°
Sample
Form
U
­
A
completed
Form
U
for
each
scenario
is
included.
Part
I
of
Form
U
was
not
completed
for
these
case
studies
because
that
information
pertains
strictly
to
site
identification.

EPA
created
case
studies
to
cover
the
following
frequently
asked
questions:

1.
How
do
I
know
if
my
chemical
is
site
limited?
A
chemical
is
site
limited
if
it
is
manufactured
at
your
plant
site
and
you
do
not
distribute
the
substance
or
any
mixture
containing
the
substance
outside
the
plant
site
for
commercial
purposes.
See
Section
5.6.3
and
Case
Study
A
for
additional
guidance.

2.
What
if
my
site
only
imports
a
chemical?
Manufacturers
and
importers
are
required
to
report
under
the
IURA.
Importers
should
enter
"
I"
in
Block
2.4
in
Part
II,
Section
II
of
Form
U.
Sections
2.2.2.1
and
5.6.4
and
Case
Study
B
of
this
document
provide
additional
guidance
for
reporting
this
information.

3.
What
if
my
site
exports
the
entire
volume
of
the
manufactured
chemical?
E­
2
If
you
manufacture
an
IUR­
reportable
chemical
substance
solely
for
export,
you
are
required
to
report
and
otherwise
comply
with
all
IUR
requirements
applicable
to
manufacturers
of
all
IUR
reportable
chemicals.
Reporting
this
information
is
not
addressed
directly
in
this
document,
therefore
a
case
study
was
generated
to
illustrate
a
possible
submission.
Case
Study
C
illustrates
how
to
complete
Form
U
for
a
chemical
that
is
exported.

4.
What
if
my
site
both
manufactures
and
imports
the
same
chemical?
Sites
both
manufacturing
and
importing
a
chemical
substance
should
enter
"
B"
in
Block
2.4
in
Part
II,
Section
II
of
Form
U.
The
total
volume
of
chemical
(
both
manufactured
and
imported)
should
be
reported
in
Parts
II
and
III
of
Form
U.
See
Sections
2.2.2.1
and
5.6.4
and
Case
Study
G
for
additional
guidance.

5.
How
do
I
report
the
number
of
workers
at
my
site
and
at
downstream
sites?
Estimates
for
the
number
of
workers
reasonably
likely
to
be
exposed
are
required
for
both
the
manufacturing
and
industrial
processing
sections
of
Form
U.
Sections
5.6.7
and
5.7.1.6
of
this
document
describe
how
to
report
these
codes
and
give
examples
of
worker
activities
that
could
potentially
result
in
exposure.
All
case
studies
provide
examples
of
how
to
report
the
number
of
potentially
exposed
workers
along
with
the
basis
and
rationale
for
selecting
the
reported
code.

6.
How
do
I
report
the
maximum
concentration
of
my
chemical?
You
are
required
to
report
the
maximum
concentration,
by
weight,
of
your
chemical
at
the
time
it
sent
off­
site
from
each
site.
If
a
chemical
is
site­
limited,
report
the
maximum
concentration
when
it
is
reacted
on­
site
to
produce
a
different
chemical
substance.
Section
5.6.8
of
this
document
provides
guidance
for
reporting
this
information.

Study
B
illustrates
how
to
complete
Block
2.8
in
Part
II,
Section
II
and
Block
2.1.
d
in
Part
III,
Section
II.

7.
What
if
I
manufacture
my
chemical
in
more
than
one
physical
form?
You
are
required
to
report
all
physical
forms
of
the
chemical
substance
at
the
time
it
leaves
your
site
and
the
percent
of
production
volume
for
each
form.
The
percentage
must
be
rounded
off
to
the
nearest
10%;
the
sum
of
the
percentages
for
each
form
must
not
add
up
to
more
than
100%.
Section
5.6.9
of
this
document
provides
guidance
for
reporting
the
physical
form
and
the
percent
production
volume
in
each
physical
form.
Case
Study
F
provides
a
scenario
and
illustrates
how
to
complete
Blocks
2.9
though
2.14
in
Part
II,
Section
II.

8.
What
if
there
are
multiple
NAICS,
IFC,
and
"
Types
of
Process
or
Use"
code
combinations
for
my
chemical?
You
are
required
to
report
up
to
ten
unique
combinations
of
codes.
If
more
than
10
unique
combinations
apply,
you
need
only
report
the
ten
combinations
that
represent
the
largest
percentage
of
production
volume.
Section
5.7.1
and
Case
Studies
F
and
G
provide
additional
guidance.

9.
What
if
my
percent
production
volume
is
less
than
5%
for
the
a
process/
use,
NAICS,
and
IFC
code
combination
and
the
total
production
volume
is
less
than
300,000
pounds?
E­
3
As
discussed
in
section
5.7.1.4
of
this
document,
if
a
particular
combination
accounts
for
less
than
5%
of
the
percent
production
volume
and
is
less
than
300,000
pounds,
then
you
may
report
the
percent
production
volume
as
0%.
Case
Study
G
illustrates
this
how
to
report
this
information.

10.
What
if
my
percent
production
volume
is
less
than
5%
for
the
a
process/
use,
NAICS,
and
IFC
code
combination
but
the
total
production
volume
is
greater
than
300,000
pounds?
As
discussed
in
Section
5.7.1.4
of
this
document,
if
a
particular
combination
accounts
for
less
than
5%
of
the
percent
production
volume
and
is
300,000
pounds
or
greater,
then
you
must
report
the
percent
production
volume
to
the
nearest
1%
of
production
volume.
Case
Study
G
illustrates
this
how
to
report
this
information
11.
What
if
the
values
I
report
for
percent
production
volume
for
each
end
use
add
up
to
more
than
100%?
As
discussed
in
Section
5.7.1.4,
the
total
percent
production
volumes
may
add
up
to
more
than
100%
since
you
are
reporting
on
the
distribution
of
the
chemical
to
downstream
sites.
The
values
may
add
up
to
less
than
100%
if
the
information
on
production
volume
is
not
readily
obtainable.
Case
Studies
F
and
G
illustrate
how
to
report
this
information.

12.
What
if
my
chemical
has
multiple
commercial
and
consumer
uses?
You
must
report
up
to
10
commercial
and
consumer
product
categories
for
which
your
chemical
is
used.
Section
5.7.2.1
and
Case
Studies
F
and
G
provide
additional
guidance
for
completing
Column
a
in
Part
III,
Section
II.

13.
What
if
my
substance
is
used
in
children's
products?
You
must
determine,
within
each
commercial
and
consumer
product
category
reported,
whether
any
amount
of
each
reportable
chemical
substance
is
present
in
consumer
products
intended
for
use
by
children
age
14
or
younger.
Section
5.7.2.2
of
this
document
provides
guidance
for
completing
Column
b
in
Part
III
­
Section
II
of
Form
U.
Case
Study
F
presents
a
scenario
to
illustrate
how
to
complete
this
part
of
Form
U.

14.
How
do
I
report
chemicals
that
are
intermediates?
Definitions
for
"
intermediate"
and
"
non­
isolated
intermediate"
are
provided
in
Appendix
B.
Section
2.2.2.3
of
this
document
states
that
impurities,
byproducts,
and
non­
isolated
intermediates
are
exempt
from
reporting.
However,
reporting
the
manufacture
of
an
isolated
intermediate
is
required.
Case
Study
A
provides
a
possible
scenario
for
reporting
an
isolated
intermediate.
Additional
examples
are
available
in
section
2.2.2.3
of
this
document.

15.
How
do
I
report
hydrates
of
a
chemical
substance?
You
are
required
to
complete
Form
U
for
the
corresponding
anhydrous
form.
Section
2.1.1.2
of
this
document
specifically
addresses
how
to
report
a
hydrate
of
a
chemical
substance
and
provides
an
example.
Furthermore,
Case
Study
D
presents
another
example
of
how
to
report
a
hydrate
of
a
chemical
substance.

16.
How
do
I
report
inorganic
chemical
substances?
E­
4
Inorganic
chemical
substances
are
partially
exempt
from
reporting
for
the
2006
reporting
period
and
will
not
be
exempt
for
subsequent
reporting
periods.
For
the
2006
reporting
period,
you
only
need
to
complete
Parts
I
and
II
of
Form
U.
Section
2.3.2
of
this
document
provides
additional
guidance
on
this
subject.
Case
Study
D
illustrates
how
to
report
an
inorganic
chemical
substance
for
the
2006
reporting
period.

17.
What
if
my
chemical
is
listed
on
the
"
specific
exempted
chemical
substances"
list?
EPA
generates
a
list
of
chemicals
for
which
manufacturers
are
exempt
from
reporting
Part
III
of
Form
U.
Additional
information
about
these
chemicals
can
be
found
in
section
2.3.2.3
of
this
document.
Case
Study

illustrates
how
to
report
a
chemical
that
is
listed
as
a
"

CASE
STUDY
A
This
example
illustrates
how
to
report:
°
site­
limited
chemicals;
°
intermediates.

Scenario:
Company
A
manufactures
1,100,000
lbs/
yr
of
an
intermediate
called
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
(
PMN#
P­
99­
9999)
that
the
site
will
later
use
in
the
manufacture
of
a
polyvinyl
chloride
(
PVC).
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
is
only
used
on
this
site.
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
is
produced
as
part
of
a
liquid
solution
at
89.6%
concentration
and
transferred
to
an
on­
site
storage
tank
for
future
use.
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
is
subsequently
destroyed
during
the
reaction
to
produce
the
PVC.
Twelve
workers
are
exposed
during
the
manufacture
of
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
for
sampling,
equipment
cleaning,
and
transfer
operations.
Two
workers
are
used
to
transfer
UV
Inhibitor
#
1
from
the
storage
tank
to
the
reactor
that
produces
PVC.
Four
administrative
workers
are
on­
site
but
not
directly
involved
with
the
manufacture
of
any
chemicals.

Key
Points:
Polymers
are
excluded
from
reporting,
so
reporting
for
the
manufacture
of
PVC
is
not
required.
However,
the
details
on
the
manufacture
and
use
of
the
intermediate
must
be
reported.
The
intermediate
is
considered
to
be
site­
limited
because
it
is
not
imported
to
the
site
and
does
not
leave
the
site.
The
intermediate
is
defined
as
isolated
because
the
transfer
operation
from
the
reactor
to
the
storage
tank
isolates
UV
Inhibitor

CASE
STUDY
B
This
example
illustrates
how
to
report:
°
a
chemical
substance
that
is
imported
only;
°
TSCA­
exempt
uses
(
such
as
soaps
and
detergents
for
consumer
use).

Scenario:
Company
B
imports
400,000
pounds
of
2­
propanol
(
IPA)
(
CAS#
67­
63­
0)
to
its
only
site
during
a
reporting
year
as
part
of
a
liquid
solution
at
95%
concentration.
The
company
incorporates
the
IPA
into
mixtures
and
formulations
ranging
from
10%
to
50%
in
concentration.
Half
the
production
volume
(
200,000
pounds)
is
incorporated
into
industrial
solvents
and
cleaners
and
is
sold
to
hundreds
of
sites.
Company
B
estimates
3
workers
are
exposed
at
each
of
these
sites.
200,000
pounds
of
IPA
is
used
in
soaps
and
skin
cleaners,
half
of
which
is
used
commercially
and
half
by
consumers
(
25%
of
production
volume
for
each
use).
These
products
are
used
at
thousands
of
sites.

Key
Points:
Since
IPA
is
imported,
no
exposed
workers
are
reported
for
the
manufacturing
section
in
Part
II.
Use
of
soaps
and
skin
cleaners
by
consumers
is
exempt
from
TSCA
reporting,
but
the
manufacture
and
processing
of
these
products
is
not
exempt.
Therefore,
the
consumer
use
of
soaps
and
cleaners
is
not
required
in
Part
III
of
Form
U.
However,
reporting
the
commercial
use
of
soaps
and
skin
cleaners
is
required,
if
information
is
readily
obtainable.

when

volume
for

is
greater
than
100%;

Scenario:
Company
G
produced
19,000,000
pounds
of
xylene,
mixed
isomers
(
CAS#
1330­
20­
7)
(
referred
to
as
xylene
throughout
this
case
study)
and
imported
an
additional
1,000,000
pounds
during
the
same
reporting
year
to
the
same
site.
The
xylene
is
manufactured
at
100%
concentration.
Company
G
estimates
8
exposed
workers
during
the
manufacture
of
xylene
for
sampling
and
maintenance,
in
addition
to
6
exposed
workers
during
the
drumming
of
product.

Company
G
distributes
4,000,000
pounds
of
xylene
directly
to
3
chemical
manufacturing
facilities
at
100%
concentration
to
be
used
as
a
chemical
reactant.
The
remaining
16,000,000
pounds
of
xylene
is
shipped
to
15
different
distributors
for
repackaging.
The
distributors
repackage
4,000,000
pounds
of
xylene
and
sell
it
as
a
metal
degreaser
at
95%
concentration
to
200
hardware
manufacturers.
The
repackager
dilutes
the
remaining
12,000,000
pounds
such
that
xylene
is
present
at
a
concentration
ranging
between
0.5%
and
95%
and
places
the
final
product
into
smaller
containers.
Of
the
12,000,000
pounds
of
xylene
that
is
processed,
6,000,000
pounds
is
used
in
automotive
care
products
(
35%
max.
conc.)
used
both
commercially
and
by
consumers.
3,200,000
pounds
will
be
used
in
paint
formulations
(
15%
max.
conc.),
of
which
80%
(
2,560,000
lbs.)
will
be
used
commercially
and
20%
(
640,000
lbs.)
by
consumers.
2,200,000
pounds
is
sold
for
use
in
pesticides
(
95%
max
conc.).
400,000
pounds
is
sold
as
a
wood
preservative
(
20%
conc.).
200,000
pounds
is
sold
as
a
component
of
solvents
on
the
consumer
market
(
95%
max
conc.).

Key
Points:
The
use
of
pesticides
is
exempt
under
TSCA
regulations,
so
the
use
of
xylene
for
this
purpose
does
not
need
to
be
included
in
Form
U.
The
200,000
lbs.
of
xylene
used
as
a
component
of
solvents
sold
to
consumers
should
not
be
reported
in
Part
III
because
it
is
less
than
5%
of
the
total
production
volume
and
less
than
the
300,000
pounds
threshold.
The
percent
production
volumes
for
use
as
wood
preservatives
and
paint
used
by
consumers
should
be
reported
to
the
nearest
percentage
point
because
it
is
less
than
5%
of
the
production
volume
and
totals
300,000
