General Instructions


This voluntary cover sheet was designed to serve as a tool for industry and EPA in the preparation,
processing, review, and availability of TSCA information, and as an alternative for cover letters to
TSCA submissions.



As with all EPA submissions, follow applicable EPA regulations and guidance in submitting the
information.



A check box at the top has been provided to indicate if there is confidential business information (CBI).
Check this box if the page contains information that is confidential. For information what can be
claimed confidential under TSCA refer to TSCA section 14, 40 CFR Part 2 Sub-Part B and other
applicable EPA and TSCA guidance. If the page contains CBI, clearly mark the information with
bracketing. Check the box "Contains CBI" in the appropriate section. Submit another cover sheet with
the CBI deleted and mark "Public Display Copy" in the heading.



Under TSCA reporting requirements, a submission may contain multiple studies. A cover sheet should
be completed for each study in the submission and go to box 2.4 and add Study 1 of 1 for a submission
having a single study, Study 1 of x, Study 2 of x, etc. (for a submission having multiple or x number of
studies).



A cover sheet is unnecessary for submissions containing no health and safety data. Examples of
submissions with no health and safety data include: section 4-related correspondence on issues of
different test protocols; section 8(e) or FYI voluntary actions of submitters to reduce exposures;
information on chemical use or commercial status; substantiation for submitting FYI vs. 8(e). If a
submission is related to a previous submission, please reference the EPA assigned Document ID for
PMN, 8(e) and FYI submissions (PMN, 8EHQ and FYI numbers). For other submissions, please
reference the EPA Document Control Number (DCN) or Study title with submission date. The EPA
will provide the Document ID as well as the DCN when acknowledging PMNs, 8(e)s and FYIs.
If additional space is needed in any of the sections of the Cover Sheet, please check the "continuation
sheet attached" box in the appropriate section and attach a Continuation Sheet (a standardized
continuation sheet has been provided; it is titled 9.0 Continuation Sheet).

INSTRUCTIONS - continued page 2


It is important to indicate if a study/submission is initial, follow-up or final. An initial submission is for
a given chemical/case identified or initiated by a company. A follow-up or a supplement is a submission
which contains information specifically requested by EPA (Follow-up) or information related to a
previous submission but not specifically requested by EPA (Supplement).



Please attach to the cover sheet package an abstract or summary for each study prepared by or for the
submitter, if available, and check the box "YES" under section 2.1. Otherwise check the box "NO".
[Note: a summary/abstract is required under 8(e).]



Space is provided in section 8.0 for the submitter to provide any additional study interpretation,
comments, etc which could immediately assist in EPA’s screening and review of the study/submission.
A continuation sheet may be attached.



If any information in the cover sheet is unknown, write "unknown." If it is not applicable write "N.A."
Provide written explanation if appropriate.

INSTRUCTIONS - continued page 3
3.0 Chemical/Test Substance Identity - If additional space is required for any chemical identity data element,
check the continuation box and attach a continuation sheet appropriately identifying the relevant specific data
element and referencing the study/submission. Enter the CAS# of the chemical for the specific study of the
cover sheet. Enter the chemical name; specify nomenclature if other than CAS name. Enter the % purity if
impurities are present, leave blank if unknown. Check one of three boxes indicating if the chemical is a single
ingredient (e.g., 100% NaCl), technical grade product (e.g., 50% NaOH solution), or mixture (e.g., perfume
formula with many ingredients). Enter the trade names and common names for the material if applicable. If the
test substance contains more than one chemical, list the components by CAS number, name, and % weight in
the mixture. Submitters are requested to provide informative generic chemical names for substances whose
chemical identity has been claimed TSCA confidential business information.
4.0 Report/Study Title - Provide the title of the entire submission, not the title of any specific study subsection;
if insufficient space, check the continuation box and attach a continuation sheet with the complete title.
5.1 Study/TSCATS Indexing Terms - Check either Health Effects, Environmental Effects, or Environmental
Fate - check only one.
5.2 Study/TSCATS Indexing Terms - See the attached Study Indexing Terms Sheet. Find appropriate
(checked) Study Type and select relevant, detailed Study Type (for HE, EE, EF), Subject Organism (HE, EE
only), Route of Exposure (HE only), and Vehicle (HE only, if applicable); transfer the 4-letter TSCATS code to
the cover sheet. If an appropriate indexing term is not available, check other box and clearly print description.
6.0 Report/Study Information - If additional space is required for any study information data, check the
continuation box and attach a continuation sheet identifying the relevant specific data element and referencing
the study/submission. Enter the complete name of the contractor or laboratory which conducted the study.

interpretation, comments, etc., which could immediately assist in EPA’s screening and review of the
study/submission. A continuation sheet may be attached. For TSCA section 8(e) and FYI submissions state
rationale for submitting information as 8(e) versus FYI and voluntary actions taken by the submitter in response
