On September 20, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a final rule to amend the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The final rule extends the submission deadline for 2024 reports from September 30 to November 22, 2024.
The TSCA CDR regulations require manufacturers and importers of chemical substances listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory to report data on the manufacturing, importing, processing, and use of those chemical substances every four years. But, the extension is for the 2024 submission period only. Subsequent submission periods are not being extended.
As EPA explains in the preamble to the final rule, it’s extending the 2024 submission deadline in response to recent concerns related to the 2024 reporting tool and technical issues with the ability of the reporting tool to correctly capture substantiations for chemical identity confidential business information (CBI) claims across multiple chemicals. In addition to extending the reporting deadline, EPA is advising sites that have already reported and asserted multiple CBI claims for chemical identity to review their substantiations to ensure that chemical-specific questions and responses have been correctly captured.
