Abstract
The report presents a requirements analysis and feasibility study for the data management system needed to use effectively industrial reporting data resulting from the proposed Toxic Substances Control Act. The study finds that the Office of Toxic Substances requires a system with flexibility, extensibility of data content, ability to handle a wide and confidential nature of the reports, and suitability for immediate installation on a production basis. In the study both a manual system that minimally satisfies the basic requirements and a computerized system with much extended capabilities are found technically feasible. In addition, the study presents feasible enhancements to the manual system which extend the manual system capabilities and show that a continuum of system decisions exists between the manual and the computerized system. The study recommends immediate preparation for the computerized system in parallel with the adoption of a cost-saving manual system that has a four-year life expectancy.
