Only one reporting threshold (either 25,000 lbs or 2,500 lbs) applies to a chemical substance for the 2020 CDR.

Limitation on certain full or partial exemptions from reporting requirements.Reduction in the threshold production volume that triggers reporting requirements.Certain TSCA actions may have one or more of the following effects for specific chemical substances:.The reporting threshold for processing and use information is the same as the reporting threshold for CDR generally (25,000 lbs or 2,500 lbs), depending on the existence of certain TSCA actions.For the 2020 submission period, the total annual production volume is reported for the calendar years 2016-2019. For chemical substances that trigger reporting, total annual production volume must be reported for each calendar year since the last principal reporting year.Find out how to identify if your chemical substance is one of those affected. However, a reduced reporting threshold (2,500 lbs) applies to chemical substances subject to certain TSCA actions. In general, the annual reporting threshold is 25,000 lbs per site.For the 2020 submission period, the need to report is based on the production volume for the calendar years 2016-2019. Reporting is triggered if the annual reporting threshold at a manufacturing (including importing) site is met during any of the calendar years since the last principal reporting year.Manufacturers (including importers) are required to report if they meet certain production volume thresholds, generally 25,000 lbs or more of a chemical substance at any single site. Currently, processing and use information helps EPA screen and prioritize chemicals for the purpose of identifying potential human health and environmental effects. The data include information on the manufacture (including import), industrial processing and use, and consumer and commercial use of certain chemicals currently listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory), a list of chemicals that are manufactured (including imported) or processed in the United States. Learn about how EPA evaluates the safety of existing chemicals. This information allows EPA to develop an understanding of the types, amount, end uses, and possible exposure to chemicals in commerce. How does EPA use CDR data?ĮPA uses CDR data to support risk screening, risk assessment, chemical prioritization, risk evaluation, and risk management activities, among other activities.
Basic data code#
Read the TSCA CDR requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR Part 711).
Basic data update#
The CDR rule is required by section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and was formerly known as the Inventory Update Rule (IUR).

Collecting the information every four years assures that EPA and (for non-confidential data) the public have access to up-to-date information on chemicals. The information is collected every four years from manufacturers (including importers) of certain chemicals in commerce generally when production volumes for the chemical are 25,000 lbs or greater for a specific reporting year.

The CDR database constitutes the most comprehensive source of basic screening-level, exposure-related information on chemicals available to EPA, and is used by the Agency to protect the public from potential chemical risks. Under the CDR rule, EPA collects basic exposure-related information including information on the types, quantities and uses of chemical substances produced domestically and imported into the United States. The Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), requires manufacturers (including importers) to provide EPA with information on the production and use of chemicals in commerce.
