Confidentiality Claims |
Upfront substantiation is required for most confidentiality claims. Information submitted under CDR generally may be claimed as confidential; exceptions are listed in 40 CFR 711.30(a)(2). Such claims must be made upfront, at the time of submission, and substantiated in accordance with TSCA and the CDR rule. Submitters must provide upfront substantiation of all confidentiality claims except for claims for certain limited data elements, described in 40 CFR 711.30(a)(3). See 40 CFR 711.30 for the specific questions to answer to complete a substantiation. These questions are included in the electronic reporting tool (e-CDRweb) and in the 2020 Instructions for Reporting. |
Small Manufacturer and Small Government Definitions |
EPA finalized changes to the small manufacturer definition and the addition of a small government definition. Manufacturers meeting the small manufacturer or small government definition have no or reduced reporting obligations under CDR, unless the manufactured (including imported) chemical is the subject of certain TSCA actions. |
