EPA Annouces Electronic Reporting for TSCA 8(e) Submissions
Friday 21 March 2014 at 9:28 pm.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing that notifications of substantial risk under section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and voluntary For Your Information (FYI) submissions may now be filed electronically using EPA's electronic document submission system, the Central Data Exchange (CDX). Use of this electronic reporting option will streamline and reduce the administrative costs and burdens of submitting paper-based notifications of substantial risks and FYI submissions.
The EPA encourages submitters of TSCA section 8(e) notifications of substantial risk and voluntary submissions, including FYI submissions, to adopt electronic reporting as the preferred submission method. To report under the procedures discussed in this notice, submitters would register with CDX, select the Chemical Safety and Pesticide Program (CSPP) option, and use the Chemical Information Submission System (CISS) to access reporting of TSCA section 8(e) notification of substantial risk and FYI submissions.
