The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has scheduled three webinars to assist the regulated community with reporting under the TSCA Inventory Notification (Active-Inactive) Rule, published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2017. This rule requires industry to report chemicals manufactured or imported in the United States over the past 10 years.
Reporting is mandatory for chemical manufacturers and optional for processors. Processors should be aware that following the update of the inventory, it will be illegal to use chemicals not reported to the EPA as active. Chemical users should review EPA’s definition of processor as some chemical uses in manufacturing meet the EPA definition of processing.
Each identical webinar will include an overview of reporting requirements, a demo of the electronic reporting application (Central Data Exchange (CDX), and will provide time for questions and answers.
The webinars are scheduled for 1-3 PM EDT on September 27, 2017, October 25, 2017, and November 29, 2017. Registration for a webinar is not required.
