Preparing for the 2016 TSCA Chemical Data Reporting

The clock will soon begin running for companies that are required to report data under US EPA’s Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule on the chemical substances they manufacture and import pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Under the rule, the reports must be submitted to US EPA between June 1 and September 30, 2016. Entities subject to the CDR rule must submit all data required for the current reporting cycle (which covers calendar years 2012-2015) during this four-month window or face an enforcement action by the agency.
