Abstract |
Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, manufacturers, processors and importers may be required to submit certain data to EPA prior to the commercial production, processing or distribution of a new chemical or of a previously produced chemical intended for a new use. EPA may also collect the same data for existing chemicals in existing uses. This Chemical Use Classification System will allow manufacturers, processors and importers of chemicals to report chemical use data to EPA in a form that will facilitate analysis. This system includes a use classification scheme, an alphabetical index to the classification scheme, instructions describing how to report chemical use, production and exposure information, and a reporting form on which to code the above information. |
