PREFACE
The primary goal of this document is to help the regulated community comply with the requirements of the Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule. This document does not substitute for that rule, nor is it a rule itself. It does not impose legally binding requirements on the regulated community or on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Manufacturers, including importers, are required by the IUR rule to report to EPA information concerning the manufacturing, processing, and use of certain chemical substances listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory. The IUR requirements have changed since the last collection, which occurred in 2006 for 2005 production data. EPA amended the IUR rule in a final action promulgated on ADD IN DATE. Manufacturers (including importers) are subject to the revised reporting requirements for manufacturing (including importing) activities conducted during the principal reporting year (calendar year 2010). The 2011 submissions are due by September 30, 2011, and must be submitted via the Internet using e-IURweb and EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). e-IURweb is a web-based application that allows manufacturers (including importers) to file a paperless IUR submission, significantly reducing data errors, and to receive instant receipt confirmation of their submissions. The submission-enabled version of e-IURweb is available upon registration with CDX. For reference, an example of an e-IURweb Form U printout is included in Appendix A of this document. This form is for reference only and cannot be used for submissions to EPA.

1.0Introduction
1.1Background and Statutory Authority
In 1977, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a), 15 U.S.C. 2607(a), to compile and keep current an inventory of chemical substances in commerce in the United States. This inventory is called the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory). In 1986, EPA promulgated the Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule, also under TSCA section 8(a), to facilitate the periodic updating of the TSCA Inventory and to support activities associated with implementing TSCA. The IUR rule has been amended since1986, most recently in [ADD YEAR]. At that time, EPA returned the frequency of reporting to once every four years, modified reporting thresholds, updated definitions, revised industrial classifications, modified situations in which confidentiality may be claimed, and began requiring electronic submission of IUR data over the Internet using the e-IURweb reporting software and EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). EPA’s CDX is the point of entry on the Environmental Information Exchange Network for environmental data submissions to the Agency. It allows companies to file a paperless IUR submission, significantly reducing data errors, and receive instant receipt confirmation of their submission.
This document, which pertains to EPA IUR reporting during 2011, updates the previous guidance issued for reporting in 2006 to incorporate instructions relevant to 2011 reporting. It provides detailed information and examples to assist manufacturers (including importers) in reporting under the IUR rule. However, this document is not a substitute for the IUR rule in 40 CFR Part 711. To the extent that any inconsistencies exist between the IUR rule and this document, the requirements as promulgated in the rule should be followed. You should carefully review 40 CFR Part 711 to determine whether you are required to report information in response to IUR requirements.
To comply with the IUR rule, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the TSCA Inventory and the procedures available to determine whether a substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory. Chapter 7 of this guidance document explains how you can obtain copies of TSCA rules, including the IUR rule, and the non-confidential TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.
1.2Changes From 2006 IUR Requirements and Rationale for Changes
In [ADD YEAR], EPA changed the IUR requirements by promulgating the IUR Modifications Rule. Details on EPA’s rationale for specific changes are available in the preamble to the rule ([ADD FR CITATION FROM PROMULGATED RULE]). Descriptions of the major changes are included in Table 1-1. In summary, EPA amended the IUR rule to:
Clarify reporting requirements;
Improve the quality of data submitted and entered into the Agency’s IUR database;
Better match data collected with the Agency’s overall information needs;
Make data more available to the public; and
Reduce, to the extent possible, the paperwork burden on both regulated entities and EPA.
Additionally, EPA revised the electronic IUR reporting software, e-IURweb, to incorporate these changes. Although hardcopy forms are no longer accepted, Appendix A provides a sample e-IURweb Form U printout to guide you through the reporting elements for 2011. This sample form cannot be used to submit information to EPA.

2.0Reporting Requirements
This chapter explains the reporting requirements for the 2011 IUR reporting cycle. IUR reporting requirements apply to the manufacturers (including importers) of chemical substances. TSCA section 3(2)(A) states that “the term ‘chemical substance’ means any organic or inorganic substance of a particular molecular identity, including - (i) any combination of such substances occurring in whole or in part as a result of a chemical reaction or occurring in nature, and (ii) any element or uncombined radical.”
For the 2011 submission period, manufacturers (including importers) are required to use e-IURweb, the IUR reporting software, and EPA’s CDX to create an electronic version of Form U to submit information in response to the requirements of this rule (40 CFR Part 711). You must register with CDX to submit online, and you must register the name of the company on whose behalf you are submitting a Form U. EPA will no longer accept paper submissions or electronic media (diskette, CD-Rom, etc.) for any IUR submission.
If you reported under the IUR in 2006, you should review the reporting requirements carefully because they have changed. You may be required to report information on chemical substances that you did not need to report in previous IUR reporting cycles.
You should consider the following three steps to determine whether
you are required to report for each chemical substance that you
domestically manufacture (including import) into the United States
during the principal reporting year (i.e., calendar year 2010): Step I: Is
your chemical substance subject to the IUR rule? Step II: Are
you a manufacturer (including importer) who is required to report? Step III: What
information must you report?
This chapter discusses each of these steps and the associated reporting requirements in more detail. Appendix A contains a sample e-IURweb Form U printout to guide you through this document. This printout is for reference only and cannot be submitted to EPA. Appendix B provides a glossary of IUR terms which may help you to understand the 2011 reporting requirements.
2.1S
An IUR reportable chemical is a chemical substance that is
domestically manufactured or imported into the United States, is
listed in the TSCA Inventory, and is not specifically exempted by 40
CFR 711.6.
tep I: Is Your Chemical Substance Subject to the IUR Rule?
Under the IUR rule, reporting for the 2011 IUR reporting cycle is generally required for a chemical substance that is manufactured (including imported), is on the TSCA Inventory as of June 1, 2011, and is not specifically exempted by 40 CFR 711.6. The term “IUR reportable chemical” will be used throughout this document to refer to a chemical that fulfills these requirements. Figure 2-1 presents a decision logic diagram to assist you in determining whether you manufacture an IUR reportable chemical. The following subsections explain each question in greater detail.
Figure 2-1. Decision Logic Diagram for Evaluating Step I
2.1.1Is Your Chemical Substance Manufactured for Commercial Purposes? (Question A)
The first step in determining your reporting requirements is to determine whether you meet the definition of manufacture or manufacturer. IUR defines these terms below:
Manufacture – To manufacture, produce, or import for commercial purposes. Manufacture includes the extraction, for commercial purposes, of a component chemical substance from a previously existing chemical substance or complex combination of substances. When a substance, manufactured other than by import, is (1) produced exclusively for another person who contracts for such production, and (2) that other person specifies the identity of the substance and controls the total amount produced and the basic technology for the plant process, that substance is jointly manufactured by the producing manufacturer and the person contracting for such production.
Manufacturer – A person who manufactures a chemical substance.
Thus, the manufacture of a chemical substance by a toll manufacturer is considered manufacturing, even in instances where another person is also considered to be manufacturing that chemical substance by contract (see 2.1.1.1 below). Both the toll manufacturer and the contracting party would be considered the joint manufacturers of the chemical substance.
For purposes of the IUR rule, a chemical substance is manufactured only if it is manufactured for commercial purposes. See TSCA Section 8(f). The term manufacture or import for commercial purposes means that the chemical is “produced for the purpose of obtaining a commercial advantage. Manufacture for commercial purposes also applies to chemicals that are produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of another substance or mixture, including both byproducts that are separated and impurities that remain in a substance or mixture.” (40 CFR 704.3)
2.1.1.1Manufacturing by Contract
The person who contracts with another person, such as a toll manufacturer, to manufacture a chemical substance is now considered to be the manufacturer of that chemical substance. This is a change from previous IUR reporting cycles.
As specified in the definition for manufacture, manufacturing by contract is a situation where the contracted person manufactures or produces the substance exclusively for the contracting person, and where the contracting person specifies the identity of the substance and controls the total amount produced and the basic technology of the plant process.
2.1.1.2Byproducts and Impurities
Byproducts are chemical substances that are manufactured during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of another chemical substance or mixture (40 CFR 704.3). If the byproduct is manufactured in a volume of 25,000 lb. or more at a single site during the principal reporting year, then it is potentially subject to IUR requirements.
An impurity is a chemical substance which is unintentionally present with another chemical substance. (40 CFR 704.3)
Can a byproduct be manufactured if the main product is an
article?
Yes
potentially. You need to consider whether you are manufacturing a
chemical substance as a byproduct when you are manufacturing an
article. For example, if your use or processing of a chemical
substance (chemical A) to manufacture an article coincidentally
produces a different substance (chemical B), apart from the article
you intended to manufacture, then you have manufactured a byproduct
chemical substance. This situation may occur, for example, when you
are stripping a substance off of a part of the article, and the
stripping process results in the formation of a different substance
(possibly resulting in a “used” stripping solution).
There are, however, conditions under which byproducts are not required to be reported. If, after it is manufactured, your byproduct chemical substance is not put to use for a separate commercial purpose (see 40 CFR 711.10(c) and 40 CFR 720.30(h)), you do not need to report it. If your byproduct’s only separate commercial purpose “is for use by public or private organizations that (1) burn it as a fuel, (2) dispose of it as a waste, including in a landfill or for enriching soil, or (3) extract component chemical substances from it for commercial purposes” (see 40 CFR 720.30(g)) then that byproduct is also excluded from IUR reporting. This exclusion applies only to the byproduct; it does not apply to the component substances extracted from the byproduct. For more information on byproduct reporting, see the examples below and the fact sheet Recycling and the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory: Premanufacture Notification and Inventory Update Reporting Requirements available in the docket and also on www.epa.gov/iur.
You should note that your byproduct may have a separate commercial purpose even if you do not intentionally commercialize it. You may be sending the byproduct, which you consider a waste, to another person or site. If that other person or site uses your byproduct in such a manner that it has a commercial purpose, then you are potentially required to report the byproduct for purposes of IUR (assuming you meet other reporting requirements such as production volume and the substance is not otherwise exempted from reporting).
If your byproduct is manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes, and it is subsequently put to use for a commercial purpose other than those listed in 40 CFR 720.30(g), you may be required to report this chemical and should evaluate Question B on Figure 2-2, which is further described in this section.
2.1.2Is Your Chemical Substance on the TSCA Inventory? (Question B)
The following subsections provide information to help you determine whether your chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory.
2.1.2.1What is the TSCA Inventory?
Authorized by section 8(b) of TSCA, the TSCA Inventory is a list of chemical substances manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes in the United States. The TSCA Inventory was compiled originally in the late 1970’s; chemical substances have been added continually through EPA’s New Chemicals Program. EPA keeps a Master Inventory File, which is the authoritative list of all the chemical substances reported to EPA for inclusion on the TSCA Inventory. In March 2010, EPA for the first time provided free access to the non-confidential portion of the inventory file, commonly referred to as the “public inventory,”on the New Chemicals Program web site (www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems/). The public inventory does not contain the specific identities of chemical substances that have been claimed as TSCA confidential business information (CBI); it contains only generic chemical names for those confidential chemical substances. Additional information on the development of the TSCA Inventory is available at www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/invntory.htm.
2.1.2.2How Do You Determine Whether a Chemical Substance is Listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory?
The following methods may help you determine whether your chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory:
Locate the substance in the public section of the TSCA Inventory (see Chapter 7 for more information on obtaining the TSCA Inventory);
Hydrates are mixtures of the corresponding non-hydrated substance and water and, therefore, are not listed on the TSCA Inventory. Note that you may be required to report the corresponding non-hydrated component substance. Adjust the reported production volume to exclude water.
Search company records to determine whether the substance was previously reported to EPA under IUR;
Search company records for a commenced PMN or other communication with EPA that confirmed the substance was on the TSCA Inventory; and
Search company records for a Notice of Commencement of manufacture or import for a PMN substance that was submitted to EPA.
Several commercial databases have incorporated the public section of the TSCA Inventory (which excludes substances with confidential identities) and can indicate whether a given chemical substance is listed on that portion of the TSCA Inventory. Because these databases are not generated or reviewed by EPA, the Agency cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information. If you use a commercial database that fails to include all reportable chemicals and, as a result, you fail to report information for these chemicals, you may be in violation of TSCA (40 CFR 710.1(c)).
The TSCA Inventory does not include mixtures. If you manufacture a mixture, you may be required to report IUR information for each chemical substance that is a component of the mixture.
If you imported a mixture, you will need to report the individual chemical components of the mixture to the extent that your total volume for the individual chemical substance meets the other reporting requirements (i.e., the 25,000 lb. threshold).
If you domestically manufactured a mixture, you will need to determine whether any chemical substances were formed from a chemical reaction you carried out as part of manufacturing the mixture. If a chemical reaction has occurred, you will need to report the resulting individual chemical component.1 If a chemical reaction has not occurred, you have not manufactured any reportable chemical substances.
In the event that you are not able to find your chemical substance in the TSCA Inventory, contact the TSCA Hotline at (202) 554-1404 for assistance to determine whether reporting is required. If your chemical is on the TSCA Inventory, you should review Question C on Figure 2-2 to determine whether you qualify for any other reporting exemptions.
2.1.3Is Your Chemical Substance Potentially Exempt from Reporting? (Question C)
Five substances or groups of substances, though included on the TSCA Inventory, are largely exempt from reporting under the IUR rule. These groups are polymers, microorganisms, certain forms of natural gas, naturally occurring substances, and water. Refer to 40 CFR 711.6(a) for precise definitions of these groups. These substances or groups are not exempt from reporting when they are the subject of any of certain TSCA actions. Sections 2.1.3.1 through 2.1.3.5 provide more details for each substance or group of chemicals and Section 2.1.4 provides details for when the exemption does not apply. Note that the act of importing does not change the identity of a chemical substance or group. For example, a naturally occurring substance remains of naturally occurring when it is imported.
Polymers, microorganisms, certain forms of natural
gas, and water are not exempted from reporting when they are the
subject of any of certain TSCA actions. See Section 2.1.4
for more details.
If your chemical is not in one of the following five substances or groups of substances, it is an IUR reportable chemical and you should review STEP II of the reporting requirements (Section 2.2, Figure 2-3). If your chemical is one of the five substances or groups, you should review Question D (Section 2.1.4).
2.1.3.1Polymers
Polymers are typically exempt from IUR reporting. The IUR definition of polymer is sufficiently broad to include virtually all those substances that are generally considered polymers. The definition also includes siloxanes and silicones, silsesquioxanes, rubber, lignin, polysaccharides (such as starch and gums), proteins (such as gelatin and hemoglobin), and enzymes. However, substances that result from hydrolysis, depolymerization, or chemical modification of polymers, regardless of the extent of these processes, if the final products are no longer polymeric (e.g., a mixture of amino acids that is the result of hydrolysis of a polypeptide), the substances are not considered to be polymers and must be reported if not otherwise excluded (40 CFR 711.6(a)(1)). See Appendix B or 40 CFR 711.6(a)(1) for the specific definition of polymers for purposes of the IUR rule.
2.1.3.2Microorganisms
Microorganisms are exempt from IUR reporting. A microorganism is any combination of chemical substances that is a living organism and that meets the definition of “microorganism” at 40 CFR 725.3. Any chemical substance produced from a living microorganism is reportable unless otherwise excluded (40 CFR 711.6(a)(2)).
2.1.3.3Certain Forms of Natural Gas
Table 2-1 identifies certain forms of natural gas that are exempt from IUR reporting (see 40 CFR 711.6(a)(4)).

2.1.3.4Naturally Occurring Substances
Chemical substances that are described in 40 CFR 710.4(b) of the TSCA Inventory Reporting Regulations are considered “naturally occurring.” Such substances are not reportable under IUR if the substance is produced solely by means described in section 710.4(b). Examples of substances that are typically naturally occurring materials are raw agricultural commodities, water, air, crude oil, rocks, ores, and minerals. However, because the section 710.4(b) exemption is process-specific rather than chemical-specific, if you manufacture any substance in a manner other than just as described in section 710.4(b), you are required to report it unless it is otherwise exempted (40 CFR 711.6(a)(3)). For this reason, minerals and certain agricultural products are sometimes considered not to be naturally occurring because of the means by which they are produced or isolated. Whether a substance is considered “naturally occurring” depends on the manner in which it is produced and isolated. Table 2-2 presents some examples of evaluating the naturally occurring substance exemption.
Table 2-2. Examples of Evaluating Substances for the Naturally Occurring Exemption (40 CFR 711.6(a)(3))
|
Calcined clays formed by heating naturally occurring clay typically must be reported because such heating is generally not done solely to remove water; a chemical change is primarily intended. |
|
Substances that are removed/isolated from nature by physical or natural means are typically considered to be “naturally occurring.” Using water to extract a chemical substance from a naturally occurring substance is considered a natural means of removal. However, using any other solvent is not considered a natural means of removal and would result in the extracted substance being potentially subject to reporting. |
|
In an electrostatic separation, small particles are removed from a liquid or gas stream. The process is essentially analogous to gravitational separation. Substances that are processed by this means are considered to be “naturally occurring.” |
|
Mined coal is typically included in the naturally occurring substances category. |
|
Ammonia and nitric acid are generally produced by chemical synthesis and are, therefore, generally not considered to be “naturally occurring.” |
2.1.3.5Water
Water, including both naturally occurring water and manufactured water (CASRN 7732-18-5), is exempt from IUR reporting. While naturally occurring water has always been exempt, the exemption for manufactured water is in effect for 2011 reporting.
2.1.4Is Your Chemical Substance Ineligible for an Exemption Due to Its TSCA Regulatory or Enforceable Consent Agreement Status? (Question D)
With the exception of naturally occurring substances, chemical substances must be reported if they are the subject of any of the following (even if the chemical is otherwise exempt):
A rule proposed or promulgated under Sections 4, 5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6 of TSCA;
An order issued under TSCA Sections 5(e) or 5(f);
Relief that has been granted under a civil action under TSCA Sections 5 or 7; or
An enforceable consent agreement (ECA) under 40 CFR Part 790. (40 CFR 711.6).
Appendix C provides assistance in determining which chemical substances are included in these groups. However, if you are unable to determine whether the specific chemical substance you manufacture (including import) is listed in Appendix C, you can contact the TSCA Hotline at (202) 554-1404 or tsca-hotline@epa.gov. If you have determined that your chemical is an IUR reportable chemical, evaluate Step II on Figure 2-3 to determine whether you are a manufacturer (including importer) who is required to report.
2.2Step II: Are You a Manufacturer Who Is Required to Report?
If you determined from Step I that you manufacture (including import) an IUR reportable chemical, Figure 2-2 presents a decision logic diagram which may help you determine whether you are a manufacturer (including importer) who must report. The following subsections explain each question in greater detail.
Figure 2-2. Decision Logic Diagram for Evaluating Step II
2.2.1Did You Manufacture a Chemical Substance Subject to Reporting Due to its TSCA Regulatory Status? (Question E)
Manufacturers (including importers) of a chemical substance which is:
the subject of a rule proposed or promulgated under section5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6 of TSCA, or
is the subject of an order in effect under section 5(e) of TSCA, or
is the subject of relief that has been granted under a civil action under section 5 or 7 of TSCA
are required to report information on that chemical, regardless of its production volume. The 25,000 lb. threshold is not applicable to these chemicals (see 40 CFR 711.8(c)). If you do not manufacture (including import) such a chemical, assess Question F in Figure 2-3 and further described in the next section to determine whether you are a manufacturer (including importer) required to report based on production volume.
2.2.2Did You Manufacture 25,000 Lb. Or More Of the Substance At a Single Site During the Principal Reporting Year?? (Question F)
You are subject to IUR reporting if you manufactured (including imported) a chemical substance in production volumes of 25,000 lb. or greater at any single site you owned or controlled during the principal reporting year. For the 2011 IUR, the principal reporting year is 2010. If you both domestically manufacture and import the same substance, add the domestically manufactured and imported volumes at each site for calendar year 2010 to determine whether the amount of the chemical substance meets or exceeds the 25,000 lb. threshold. The site at which a chemical is imported is described in 40 CFR 711.8(b) and Section 4.4.1 of this document.
Table 2-3 provides examples of how the production volume reporting requirement applies.
Table 2-3. Production Volume Threshold Examples
Description |
2011 Reporting Requirement |
Company A, which has only one manufacturing site, manufactured 26,000 lb. of Chemical X, which is not exempt from reporting, at its site in 2010. |
Company A must report for Chemical X because it manufactured 25,000 lb. or more of Chemical X in 2010. |
Company B, which has only one manufacturing site, manufactured 26,000 lb. of Chemical X at its site in 2009 and 20,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. |
Company B is not required to report for Chemical X because it manufactured less than 25,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. |
Company C has two manufacturing sites for Chemical X. In 2010, Site 1 manufactured 13,000 lb. of Chemical X and Site 2 manufactured 15,000 lb. of Chemical X. |
Company C is not required to report for Chemical X at either site because 2010 production was less than 25,000 lb. at each site. |
Company D has two manufacturing sites for Chemical X. In 2010, Site 1 manufactured 10,000 lb. of Chemical X and Site 2 manufactured 150,000 lb. of Chemical X. |
Company D must report for Chemical X at Site 2 because at this location production was 25,000 lb. or more in 2010 and is not required to report for Chemical X for Site 1 because 2010 production was less than 25,000 lb. |
Company E has one site where it imports and manufactures Chemical X. Company E manufactured 21,000 lb. of Chemical X and imported 5,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. |
Company E must report for Chemical X because the total produced at and imported by its site in 2010 was 25,000 lb. or more. |
Meeting the 25,000 lb. Threshold for Chemical Substances in Mixtures
In many cases, reportable substances are components of a mixture. Although mixtures are not reportable, the 25,000 lb. threshold is applicable for each IUR reportable chemical substance comprising a mixture; therefore, the chemical substances making up a mixture may be reportable. If you manufacture chemical substances as part of a mixture, you would determine your IUR reporting requirements by following Questions A-F (Sections 2.1.1 through 2.2.2) for each chemical substance in the mixture. As described in section 2.1.2.2, hydrates are mixtures of the corresponding non-hydrated substance and water (the water of hydration).
As an importer (see 40 CFR 704.3), you must determine whether the individual component chemical substances of a mixture are reportable. To do so, you would determine whether the annual aggregated volume of a particular reportable chemical substance was 25,000 lb. or more at the site that controls the importation. The 25,000 lb. threshold is applicable for each IUR reportable chemical substance in a mixture. You can determine the production volume for each chemical substance in the mixture that you imported during a particular calendar year by using the weight and percent composition of the chemical in the mixture. For each imported chemical substance, you would aggregate the volume of the chemical substance in all annual imports associated with the reporting site as defined in section 711.3 and add the amount of the chemical domestically manufactured at the same site, if any, to determine whether the total volume of the chemical manufactured (including imported) meets the 25,000 lb. threshold. Notethat a chemical substance that is imported solely in small quantities for research and development, as an impurity, or as part of an article or in a manner described in 40 CFR 720.30(g) and (h) is not subject to the IUR reporting requirements (40 CFR 711.10).
If you have determined that you are manufacturing an IUR reportable chemical and meet the reporting threshold of 25,000 lb., evaluate Question G to determine whether you qualify for any reporting exemptions.
2.2.3Do You Qualify As a Small Manufacturer? (Question G)
Small manufacturers are exempt from IUR requirements unless they manufacture (including import) any quantity of a chemical substance that is the subject of a rule proposed or promulgated under section 4, 5(b)(4), or 6 of TSCA, or is the subject of an order in effect under section 5(e) of TSCA, or is the subject of relief that has been granted under a civil action under section 5 or 7 of TSCA (40 CFR 711.9). Appendix C provides assistance with determining which substances fall into these groups.
You qualify as a small manufacturer if you meet either of the following criteria (40 CFR 704.3):
Your total sales during 2010, combined with those of your parent company, domestic or foreign (if any), are less than $4 million regardless of annual production volume.
Your total sales during 2010, combined with those of your parent company, domestic or foreign (if any), are less than $40 million and your annual production volume of that substance does not exceed 100,000 lb. at any individual plant site. If the annual production volume of the substance at any of your sites is more than 100,000 lb., you are required to report only for those sites. Note that under this criterion, it is possible to qualify as a small manufacturer with respect to some substances and not others or with respect to some sites and not others.
For purposes of the definition of a small manufacturer, total annual sales include all sales of the company, not just the total sales of a given chemical. Table 2-4 provides examples of how the small manufacturing exemption applies.
Table 2-4. Small Manufacturer Exemption Examples (40 CFR 711.8)
Description |
2011 Reporting Requirement |
Site 1, which is one of several sites owned by Company A, had a production volume of 120,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. The total annual sales of Company A (all sites combined) were $1,250,000 in 2010. |
Site 1 is not required to report for Chemical X because combined sales in 2010 did not exceed $4 million. |
Site 2, which is one of several sites owned by Company B, had a production volume of 90,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. The total annual sales of Company B (all sites combined) were $20,000,000 in 2010. None of the other sites produce Chemical X. |
Site 2 is not required to report for Chemical X because annual production volume of that chemical did not exceed 100,000 lb. at any of Company B’s sites, and Company B had total annual sales of less than $40 million. |
Site 3, which is one of several sites owned by Company C, had a production volume of 200,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. Site 4, another site owned by Company C, had a production volume of 75,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. The total annual sales of Company C (all sites combined) were $30,000,000 in 2010. |
Company C must report for Chemical X at Site 3 because annual production volume at Site 3 exceeded 100,000 lb. Company C is not required to report for Chemical X at Site 4 because annual production volume at site 4 did not exceed 100,000 lb. and total annual sales was less than $40 million. |
Site 5, which is one of several sites owned by Company D, had a production volume of 50,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. The total annual sales of Company D (all sites combined) were $100,000,000 in 2010. |
Company D must report for Chemical X at Site 5 because total annual sales in 2010 exceeded $40 million. |
Site 6, which is one of several sites owned by Company E, had a production volume of 120,000 lb. of Chemical X in 2010. The total annual sales of Company E (all sites combined) were $1,250,000 in 2010. Chemical X is subject to a section 4 test rule. |
Site 6 is required to report for Chemical X. Even though combined sales are less than $4 million, this chemical is subject to a test rule and therefore must be reported. |
If you do not qualify for a small manufacturer exemption, evaluate Question H in Figure 2-3 (further described in the next section) to determine whether you qualify for any other reporting exemptions.
2.2.4Do You Qualify for Any Other Reporting Exemptions? (Question H)
If you manufacture a reportable substance solely under the following circumstances, you are not required to report for those substances under the IUR rule:
The chemical substance is imported as an article or part of an article. An article is defined in 40 CFR 704.3 as “a manufactured item (1) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture, (2) which has end-use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end use, and (3) which has either no change of chemical composition during its end use or only those changes resulting in composition which have no commercial purpose separate from that of the article, and that result from a chemical reaction that occurs upon end use of other chemical substances, mixtures, or articles; except that fluids and particles are not considered articles regardless of shape or design.” EPA considers imported items articles if they are manufactured in a specific shape or design for a particular end-use application and this design is maintained as an essential feature in the finished product. Thus, EPA views materials such as metal or plastic sheets, wire, coated fabric, rolled carpet, sheets of plywood, and other similar materials as articles, even if, for example, subsequent to import they are rolled or drawn thinner, cut, printed, laminated, or thermoformed, provided they meet the above definition. Substances that are part of such articles are not subject to reporting under the IUR rule. If an item is manufactured in a particular shape for the purpose of shipping convenience and the shape has no function in the end use, it would not be considered an article. Thus, chemical substances that are part of items such as metal ingots, billets, and blooms are subject to reporting under the IUR rule.
The chemical substance is manufactured solely in small quantities for research and development (40 CFR 711.10(a)).
The chemical substance is manufactured as an impurity, a non-isolated intermediate, or under any of the other circumstances identified in 40 CFR 720.30(g) and (h). (40 CFR 711.10(c))
If between June 1, 2010, and May 31, 2011, you submitted all of the information required by the IUR rule in response to another rule promulgated under section 8(a) of TSCA (such as the Preliminary Assessment Information Reporting (PAIR) rule at 40 CFR Part 717, Subpart B), you are not required to report the same information under IUR for the same substance during 2011 (40 CFR 711.15(a)).
Table 2-5 presents examples of these circumstances.
Table 2-5. Examples of Manufacturing/Importing Activities Under Circumstances Which Do/Do Not Require Reporting
|
|
|---|---|
Description |
2011 Reporting Requirement |
Company A manufactures 400,000 lb. of a chemical intermediate called Chemical X during the production of a polymer. Chemical X is manufactured in Reactor 1 and is subsequently entirely consumed when reacted with other chemicals. Chemical X never leaves Reactor 1, except for sampling purposes. |
Company A does not need to report Chemical X because it is considered to be a non-isolated intermediate and is therefore fully exempt. |
Company B manufactures 400,000 lb. of a chemical intermediate called Chemical Y during the production of a polymer. Chemical Y is manufactured in Reactor 1 and transferred to a storage tank until needed. Chemical Y is then transferred to Reactor 2 where it is mixed with other reactants to form the desired polymer, at which point Chemical Y is destroyed. Chemical Y never leaves this production site. |
Company B is required to report Chemical Y. When Chemical Y was transferred to the storage tank, it was isolated, and, thus, does not meet the definition for “non-isolated intermediate.” |
Company C imports 10,000,000 lb. of Chemical Z in the form of thin sheets. Company C cuts these sheets into the desired size and shape, which are sold to consumers. |
Company C is not required to report Chemical Z because it is considered to be an article and therefore exempt from reporting. |
Company D imports 10,000,000 lb. of Chemical W in the form of pellets. Company D subsequently melts and molds Chemical W into the desired shape, which is sold directly to consumers. |
Company D is required to report Chemical W because it imported pellets whose shape or design when imported was not related to their end use. |
Company D domestically manufactures 10,000,000 lb. of Chemical W. Company D subsequently sells Chemical W to Company E in the form of pellets. Company E melts and molds the pellets. |
Company D is required to report as the manufacturer of Chemical W. Company E is not required to report because it is neither manufacturing nor importing Chemical W. |
If you manufacture an IUR reportable chemical in quantities greater than 25,000 lb. and do not qualify for any reporting exemptions, you should evaluate Step III, described in the following section, to determine what information you must report for your chemical.
2.3Step III: What Information Must You Report?
Once you determine from Steps I and II that you are a manufacturer (including importer) of an IUR reportable chemical substance and are required to report, this section will help you determine what information you must report. You are required to report manufacturing, processing, and use information unless you are otherwise exempt. Manufacturers (including importers) of partially exempt chemical substances are not required to report processing and use information described in 40 CFR 711.12(b)(4) for those substances, but are otherwise required to report the information requested on basic identity and manufacturing information described in 40 CFR 711.12(b)(2) and (3) for those chemicals. Note that the basic company and site information is reported once per site while the manufacturing, processing and use information is reported separately for each reportable chemical at the site.
Figure 2-3 presents a decision logic diagram to assist you in determining the IUR information you must report. Determine whether your chemical is partially exempt from reporting by first evaluating Question I in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3.
Decision Logic Diagram for Evaluating Step III
2.3.1Is Your Chemical Substance Subject to Reporting due to its TSCA Regulatory or Agreement Status? (Question I)
Chemical substances that are the subject of particular TSCA rules and/or orders or chemical substances that are part of enforceable consent agreements are not afforded a partial exemption. See Section 2.1.4 for a description of the chemicals that meet these criteria. If you manufacture (including import) these chemicals, you must report all IUR information (i.e., manufacturing, processing, and use information) regardless of any exemptions for which the chemical would otherwise qualify. See Appendix C for additional information about these chemical substances.
If your chemical is not part of a regulatory action or consent agreement, continue to evaluate Questions J and K on Figure 2-4 and described further in the following sections to determine whether your chemical is partially exempt.
2.3.2Is Your Chemical Substance Listed as a Petroleum Process Stream? (Question J)
Manufacturers (including importers) of certain petroleum process streams, regardless of the production volume, do not need to complete Part III of Form U for these substances. The chemical substances termed “petroleum process streams” for purposes of IUR that are partially exempt from IUR requirements are those listed by CAS Registry Number at 40 CFR 711.6(b)(1). Appendix D lists the exempt petroleum process streams.
2.3.3Is Your Chemical Substance Listed as a Chemical for which there is Low Current Interest? (Question K)
EPA created a partial exemption for specific chemical substances for which EPA has identified a low current interest in their processing and use information. The specific chemical substances listed at 40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv) are also listed in Appendix D.
If your IUR reportable chemical is partially exempt, you are required to report only Parts I and II of the reporting form. Otherwise, you are required to report Parts I, II, and III of the reporting form, covering manufacturing, processing, and use information for your IUR reportable chemical. Chapter 3 will help you determine when you must report this information to EPA.
3.0When You Must Report
For the 2011 reporting cycle, you are required to report information pertaining to calendar year 2010 during the submission period, which begins June 1, 2011 and ends September 30, 2011 (40 CFR 711.13).
Your submissions for the 2011 reporting cycle must be submitted to EPA via the Internet and through EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) no later than September 30, 2011. You should note that registration with CDX is required prior to accessing e-IURweb to submit your IUR information. (See Chapter 6 for more information on how to report your data using e-IURweb and CDX). If you are required to report, failure to file your report during this period is a violation of TSCA sections 8(a) and 15 and may subject you to penalties (40 CFR 711.1(c)).
4.0Instructions for Completing IUR Form U
This chapter will help you complete the IUR Form U. Section 4.1 describes how to certify your submission. Section 4.2 discusses the reporting standard – the effort required to comply with the IUR rule. Sections 4.3 through 4.8 provide guidance to help you complete each required section of Form U.
You are required to use the IUR reporting software, e-IURweb, to submit information for each IUR reportable chemical. If you are reporting information for more than one chemical at your site, you must report information for all reportable chemicals on one Form U.
The certification statement and Part I of Form U are completed once per reporting site. Parts II and III are completed for each reportable chemical at the site. Part IV is reserved for the special case of a joint submission, and is completed by the secondary submitter.
4.1Certification
Your IUR submission must be certified, indicating that your submitted information has been completed in compliance with the IUR requirements and that any confidentiality claims are true and correct. To certify, the certification statement must be electronically signed and dated by an authorized official of your company. The authorized official typically is a senior official with management responsibility for the person (or persons) completing the form. You must include the printed name, title, and email address for the person signing the certification. See Section 6.3.1 for how to complete an electronic signature.
This certification statement applies to all the information supplied on the form and should be signed only after the form has been completed. Note that knowingly providing false or misleading information or concealing required information may be punishable by fine or imprisonment or both under TSCA section 15.
4.2Reporting Standard
Submitters are required to exercise certain levels of due diligence in gathering the information required by the IUR rule. You must report your information to the extent that the information is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you and your company. The term “known to or reasonably ascertainable by” is defined in 40 CFR 704.3 and discussed more fully below.2
Known to or reasonably ascertainable by means all information in a person’s possession or control, plus all information that a reasonable person similarly situated might be expected to possess, control, or know.
Under TSCA section 8(a), EPA may collect information associated with chemical substances to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by the submitter. This is information possessed by employees or other agents of the company reporting under the IUR rule, including persons involved in the research, development, manufacturing, or marketing of a chemical substance. This information includes knowledge gained through discussions, symposia, and technical publications. For purposes of IUR, the known to or reasonably ascertainable by standard applies to all the information required by the rule.
Examples of types of information that are considered to be in a person’s possession or control, or that a reasonable person similarly situated might be expected to possess, control, or know are:
Files maintained by the submitter or employees in the submitter’s company;
Information contained in standard references, such as MSDSs, that contain use information or concentrations of chemicals in mixtures; and
Information from the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and from Dun & Bradstreet.
4.3Part I - Section A. Parent Company Information3
You must provide information on your ultimate domestic parent company. For purposes of IUR, your parent company is the ultimate domestic parent company, located in the United States, which directly owns at least 50 percent of the voting stock of your company. This definition is limited to this context, is distinct from the more geographically broad definition of "parent company" used in 40 CFR 704.3, and does not apply to the determination of whether a person meets the small manufacturer exemption. Corporate names should be treated as parent company names for companies with multiple facility sites. When a facility is owned by more than one company and none of the facility owners directly owns at least 50 percent of its voting stock, the facility should provide the name of the parent company of either the facility operator or the owner with the largest ownership interest in the facility.
Example 4-1. Bestchem Corporation is not owned or controlled
by any other corporation but has sites throughout the country whose
names begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem Corporation should
be listed as the parent company.
Note: Information provided during CDX registration will populate your parent company identification information in Section A. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
4.3.1Parent Company Name (Block 1.A.1)
Enter the full name of the ultimate domestic parent company, if applicable. You should include any additional identifying terms such as Inc., Ltd., L.L.C., etc.
4.3.2Parent Company Dun & Bradstreet Number (Block 1.A.2)
Enter the 9-digit Dun & Bradstreet number associated with the parent company name entered in Block 1.A.1. The number may be obtained from the treasurer or financial officer of the company.
Dun & Bradstreet assigns separate numbers to subsidiaries and parent companies; you should make sure that the number you provide EPA belongs to your ultimate domestic parent company. If your parent company does not have a Dun & Bradstreet number, you can request one from your local office of Dun & Bradstreet. There is no charge for this service and you are not required to disclose sensitive financial information to get a number. For more information on obtaining a Dun & Bradstreet number, see www.dnb.com/us. If you are already listed with Dun & Bradstreet, but do not know your number, you can call 1-800-234-3867 for assistance.
4.3.3Parent Company Address (Blocks 1.A.3 through 1.A.8)
Enter the mailing address of the parent company name entered in Block 1.A.1, including the appropriate county or parish, using standard addressing techniques as established by the U.S. Postal Service. Post office box numbers should be accompanied by a street address. If a post office box is listed, it should be listed after the street address on Address Line 2.
4.4Part I - Section B. Site Information4
EPA requires the following information to be reported for each plant site at which a reportable chemical substance is manufactured: the site name, site Dun & Bradstreet number, street address, city, county (or parish), state, and zip code.
Note: Information provided during CDX registration will populate your site identification information in Section B. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
4.4.1Special Provisions for Importers
The site where you import a chemical substance is considered the site of the operating unit within your organization that is directly responsible for importing the substance and that controls the import transaction (e.g., the company’s U.S. headquarters). For IUR, all importers must provide a U.S. address for the controlling site; this site may be your company’s headquarters in the United States. If there is no such operating unit or headquarters in the United States, the site address for the importer is the U.S. address of an agent acting on the importer’s behalf who is authorized to accept service of process for the importer (40 CFR 711.3). In the event that more than one person may meet the definition of “importer” (40 CFR 704.3), only one person should report. See 40 CFR 711.15(b).
4.4.2Site Name (Block 1.B.1)
Enter the full name of the site. You should include any additional identifying terms such as Inc., Ltd., L.L.C., etc.
4.4.3Site Dun & Bradstreet Number (Block 1.B.2)
Dun & Bradstreet assigns separate numbers to subsidiaries and parent companies; make sure that the number you provide EPA in block 1.B.2 belongs to the individual site for which you are reporting. If the site does not have a Dun & Bradstreet number, you can request one from your local office of Dun & Bradstreet. Please refer to Section 4.3.2 for information on obtaining a Dun & Bradstreet number.
4.4.4Site Street Address (Blocks 1.B.3 through 1.B.8)
Enter your site mailing address, including the appropriate county or parish, using standard addressing techniques as established by the U.S. Postal Service. Post Office box numbers should be accompanied by a street address. If a Post Office box is listed, it should be listed after the street address on Address Line 2.
4.5Part I - Section C. Technical Contact Information5
This section requests information about the person whom EPA may contact for clarification of the information in your IUR submission. The technical contact should be a person who can answer questions about the reported chemical substance(s). Typically, a person located at the manufacturing site is best able to answer such questions. The technical contact need not be the person who signed the certification statement. You can select your technical contact from the drop down list of registered support submitters. Once selected, the technical contact information provided during CDX registration will populate Section C. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
4.5.1Technical Contact Name (Block 1.C.1)
Enter the name of the person whom EPA may contact for clarification of information submitted on Form U.
4.5.2Technical Contact Telephone Number and Email Address (Blocks 1.C.2 and 1.C.3)
Enter the technical contact’s telephone number, including the area code, and the contact’s email address.
4.5.3Technical Contact Mailing Address (Blocks 1.C.4 through 1.C.8)
Enter the technical contact’s mailing address, using standard addressing techniques as established by the U.S. Postal Service. Post Office box numbers should be accompanied by a street address. If a Post Office box is used as a mailing address, the street address should be given in Block 1.C.4 followed by the Post Office box number in Block 1.C.5 (Address Line 2).
4.6Part II - Section A. Chemical Substance Identification
Chemical substance identification information consisting of the identification number and specific chemical name, as described in 4.6.2 and 4.6.4, must be reported separately for each IUR reportable chemical substance at your site.
4.6.1Confidentiality of Chemical Substance Information (Block 2.A.1)
You may claim as confidential the identity of a substance that is already listed as confidential on the TSCA Inventory by checking the CBI box in Part II Section A. Claims for confidential treatment of the chemical identity of a chemical substance which is listed on the public section of the TSCA Inventory are not valid. Further, CBI claims for chemical identity will be accepted only when accompanied by a separate written substantiation for the substances claimed as CBI. Checking the CBI box automatically triggers the substantiation questions. See Section 5.1 for more details about substantiating CBI claims for the identity of a chemical substance. If you fail to substantiate the claim for confidentiality of the chemical identity in accordance with applicable rules, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you. Note that checking this box does not protect the link between your company and the substance; it only asserts a CBI claim for the specific identity of the substance. To claim company and/or plant site identities as CBI, check the CBI box(es) in Part II, Section B, Blocks 2.B.1 and 2.B.2 of IUR Form U (see Sections 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 below).
4.6.2Chemical Substance Identifying Number (Block 2.A.2)
Every chemical substance reported in accordance with IUR must be accompanied by its correct Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number (CASRN), corresponding to the chemical substance’s specific chemical name as described in 4.6.4. (40 CFR 711.12(b)(3)(i)). You may enter either a CASRN (Block 2.A.2) or the specific name of the chemical substance (Block 2.A.4) to select the appropriate CASRN/Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name combination in the reporting software.
Report the CASRN for your chemical substance. If your substance
does not have a CASRN, or if the CASRN is not known or reasonably
ascertainable, report the EPA-designated TSCA Accession Number.
Each Inventory substance has at least one type of number.
the CASRN is not known or reasonably ascertainable, report the Accession Number.
A typical Accession Number is a 5-digit or 6-digit number such as “29735.” If you do not know either the CASRN or the Accession Number, contact EPA by telephone at (202) 554-1404 or by email at tsca-hotline@epa.gov.
When you report the CASRN, please verify that the number you are reporting is the correct number for your substance. If you do not know the chemical identity of a chemical substance you are reporting because it is claimed as confidential by the supplier of the chemical substance, you must have the supplier provide the correct chemical identity information directly to EPA in a joint submission, which clearly references your submission. See Sections 4.6.5 and 6.6 for more information on submitting joint reports.
4.6.3ID Code (Block 2.A.3)
Enter the code corresponding to the type of identifying number you entered in Block 2.A.1, as shown in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1. ID Code for Chemical Identifying Numbers
If the Number You are Reporting is a(n) |
Enter This Code |
Accession Number |
A |
CAS Registry Number |
C |
4.6.4Chemical Name (Block 2.A.4)
Enter in Block 2.A.4 the specific, currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name as used to list your chemical substance in the TSCA Inventory. The CA Index Name is to correspond with the reported CASRN reported in Block 2.A.2. In cases where the CA Index Name is not known or reasonably ascertainable, use nomenclature that completely and accurately describes the chemical substance. The reporting software will provide the appropriate CASRN/Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name combination for you to select. Note that the public inventory lists the correct chemical names or, for those chemicals listed on the confidential inventory, the corresponding generic name. Do not rely on the listed generic name to determine whether your chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory. A generic name often is not specific to a given Inventory substance and may be used to represent multiple specific chemical identities. The TSCA Accession Number, however, is unique to the specific confidential chemical substance.
4.6.5Special Provisions for Importers and Joint Submitters
You may report an alternate chemical name, and in the case of importers, a trade name, in those instances where a supplier will not disclose to the submitter the specific chemical name of the imported Inventory substance or a reactant used to manufacture the Inventory substance. In these cases, you and the supplier report the information required in this part in a joint submission. As an importer, you must have the supplier of the confidential chemical substance directly provide EPA with the correct chemical identity (as described in 4.6.2), in a joint submission with you. Furthermore, in the event you cannot provide the complete chemical identity because you manufacture the reportable chemical substance using a reactant having a specific chemical identity claimed as confidential by its supplier, you must submit a report directly to EPA containing all other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by you about the chemical identity of the reported substance. You also must ensure that the supplier directly provides to EPA the correct chemical identity of the confidential reactant in a joint submission. See Chapter 6 for more information on how to submit joint reports.
4.7Part II - Section B. Manufacturing Information
The following subsections describe the manufacturing information required to be reported for each chemical substance.
4.7.1Confidentiality of Company Information (Block 2.B.1)
Check the CBI box in this block to assert a confidentiality claim for the link between the chemical substance and the company information reported in Part I, Section A of Form U. Checking other CBI boxes on the form will not protect this link. You may claim this connection as confidential for some chemical substances for which you are reporting, while not making the claim for others (each chemical substance manufactured at a site is reported in separate sections of e-IURweb). EPA will not impute the existence of a CBI claim for company identity from a CBI claim associated with a different chemical.
4.7.2Confidentiality of Site Information (Block 2.B.2)
Check the CBI box in this block and complete the substantiation questions to assert a confidentiality claim for the link between the chemical substance and the site identity reported in Part I, Section B of Form U. Checking the CBI box automatically triggers the substantiation questions. See Section 5.2 for information on completing the substantiation questions. If you fail to substantiate the site CBI claim in accordance with the applicable rules, EPA may make the information available to the public without further notice to you.
You may claim the connection between chemical and site as confidential for some chemical substances for which you are reporting, while not making the claim for others (each chemical substance is reported separately in e-IURweb). EPA will not impute the existence of a CBI claim for site identity from a CBI claim associated with a different chemical.
EPA has also observed that submitters sometimes claim only their company identity, but not their site identity, as confidential. EPA will not impute the existence of a CBI claim for site identity from a CBI claim for company identity, even if the company name appears within the site identity information.
4.7.3Confidentiality of Technical Contact Information (Block 2.B.3)
Check the CBI box in this block to assert a confidentiality claim for the link between the chemical substance and the technical contact information reported in Part I, Section C of Form U. You may claim this connection as confidential for some chemical substances for which you are reporting, while not making the claim for others (each chemical substance is reported separately in e-IURweb). EPA will not impute the existence of a CBI claim for technical contact information from a CBI claim associated with a different chemical.
4.7.4Reporting Manufacturing Information for Calendar Year 2010
This section of the IUR describes the manufacturing data elements that should be reported for your IUR reportable chemical for the calendar year 2010, the principal reporting year for the 2011 submission period.
4.7.4.1Activity (Domestically Manufacture and/or Import) (Block 2.B.4)
Check the box(es) that describe whether you domestically manufacture or import the chemical substance. If you both domestically manufacture and import the same chemical substance, check both boxes.
4.7.4.2Domestically Manufactured Production Volume (Block 2.B.5)
Report the volume of the chemical domestically manufactured at your site during calendar year 2010, in pounds. Report the quantity to at least two significant figures; it should be accurate to the extent known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Production volumes should be reported in numeric format, with or without commas (i.e., 58,000 or 6352000). For example, “2 million” or “2 E6" are not acceptable, nor are production volumes with decimals or abbreviations such as M (e.g., 12,000,000 = 12M) or K (e.g., 50,000 = 50K).
4.7.4.3Imported Production Volume (Block 2.B.6)
Report the volume of chemical imported by your site in 2010, in pounds. Report the quantity to at least two significant figures; it should be accurate to the extent known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. You should use the same numeric format as described for Block 2.B.5, domestically manufactured production volume. Imported and domestically manufactured production volumes are reported separately for each chemical at each site.
Note that if you import various mixtures containing reportable chemical substances, you should add all import volumes associated with each chemical substance. For instance, if you import three mixtures and each mixture contains Chemical A, then you would determine the volume of Chemical A in each mixture and report the aggregated amount.
4.7.4.4For Imported Chemicals, Is the Chemical Never Physically at Site? (Block 2.B.7)
If the imported chemical is never physically at the reporting site (e.g., if you ship the chemical from a foreign country directly to another location such as a warehouse, a processing or use site, or a customer’s site), check yes.
4.7.4.5Production Volume Used On-Site (Block 2.B.8)
Report the total volume of the domestically manufactured and imported chemical substance used at the reporting site. The number represents the volume of the chemical that does not leave the manufacturing site. The production volume used on-site should not exceed the sum of the domestically manufactured and imported volumes minus the volume exported (i.e., (Block 2.B.5 + Block 2.B.6) –Block 2.B.9). Report the quantity to at least two significant figures; it should be accurate to the extent known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. You should use the same numeric format as described for Block 2.B.5, domestically manufactured production volume.
4.7.4.6Production Volume Exported (Block 2.B.9)
Report the production volume directly exported and not domestically processed or used. The volume exported should not exceed the sum of the domestically manufactured and imported volumes. Report the quantity to at least two significant figures; it should be accurate to the extent known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. You should use the same numeric format as described for Block 2.B.5, domestically manufactured production volume.
Table 4‑2. Examples of Reporting Production Volume for Part II – Manufacturing Information
|
|
Description |
2011 Reporting Requirement |
Site 1 domestically manufactures 30,000 lb. of Chemical X. |
Site 1 should report 30,000 lb. as domestically manufactured for Chemical X in e-IURweb. The total production volume (i.e., the domestically manufactured volume) should be used to report the remaining IUR information in e-IURweb. |
Site 2 domestically manufactures 15,000 lb. of Chemical X and directly imports 15,000 lb. of Chemical X. |
Site 2 should report 15,000 lb. as domestically manufactured. Because Site 2 controls the import transaction, Site 2 should also report 15,000 lb. as imported for Chemical X in e-IURweb. The total production volume (i.e., sum of the domestically manufactured and import volumes) should be used to report the remaining IUR information in e-IURweb. |
Site 3 domestically manufactures 30,000 lb. of Chemical X. Of the 30,000 lb. manufactured, Site 3 directly exports 10,000 lb. to a foreign customer. |
Site 3 should report 30,000 lb. as domestically manufactured and 10,000 lb. as exported for Chemical X in e-IURweb. The total production volume (i.e., the domestically manufactured volume less the exported volume) should be used to report the remaining IUR information in e-IURweb. |
Site 4 domestically manufactures 70,000 lb. and imports 30,000 lb. of Chemical X. Site 4 uses 20,000 lb. of Chemical X on site. |
Site 4 should report 70,000 lb. as domestically manufactured, 30,000 lb. as imported and 20,000 lb. as used on site in e-IURweb. The total production volume (i.e., sum of the domestically manufactured and import volumes) should be used to report the remaining IUR information in e-IURweb. |
In 2010, Company B coordinates the import of 100,000 lb. of Chemical X, which is imported directly to three different sites owned by Company B. Site 5 receives 40,000 lb. and Sites 6 and 7 each receive 30,000 lb. of Chemical X. |
Company B should report 100,000 lb. as imported for Chemical X in e-IURweb. The total production volume (i.e., the imported volume) should be used to report the remaining IUR information in e-IURweb. Because the three sites controlled by Company B did not control the import transaction, the sites are not required to report the imported volumes. |
4.7.4.7Number of Workers (Block 2.B.10)
Report the total number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to each reportable chemical substance at each site during calendar year 2010 (40 CFR 711.12(b)(3)(v)). For Block 2.B.10, report the code corresponding to the range from Table 4-3 for the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to a reportable chemical substance during manufacture.
Table 4-3. Codes for Reporting Number of Workers Reasonably Likely to be Exposed
Code |
Range of Workers Reasonably Likely to be Exposed |
W1 |
Fewer than 10 workers |
W2 |
At least 10 but fewer than 25 workers |
W3 |
At least 25 but fewer than 50 workers |
W4 |
At least 50 but fewer than 100 workers |
W5 |
At least 100 but fewer than 500 workers |
W6 |
At least 500 but fewer than 1,000 workers |
W7 |
At least 1,000 but fewer than 10,000 workers |
W8 |
At least 10,000 workers |
“Reasonably likely to be exposed” means “an exposure to a chemical substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment, maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.), but excludes accidental or theoretical exposures” (40 CFR 711.3).
Persons reasonably likely to be exposed to a chemical substance include workers whose employment requires them to pass through areas where chemicals are manufactured, processed, or used (e.g., production workers and foremen, process engineers, and plant managers). Workers employed to drive vehicles which transport the chemical should be included in the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to the chemical substance if they come into contact with the chemical during loading or unloading. For example, workers engaged in the connection or disengagement of hoses used to load or unload the chemical should be included. However, workers involved solely with transporting chemicals in sealed containers that are totally enclosed with no potential for exposure should not be included.
In addition, when a site employs temporary, seasonal, or contract workers in the manufacture of a reportable chemical substance, these workers should be included in the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to a chemical substance if they work in areas where the chemical is manufactured. The term does not include those employees whose jobs are not associated with potential exposures to a substance or mixture (e.g., administrative staff who never enter areas where the chemical is manufactured) and who are unlikely to be exposed to a chemical substance for even a brief period of time. No allowance is made for personal protective equipment or for engineering controls that reduce but do not preclude exposure to a chemical substance; however, if contact between a worker and a chemical is highly improbable, the worker should not be included among those persons reasonably likely to be exposed to the chemical substance.
When there is no potential exposure to a chemical substance, the code W1 corresponding to fewer than 10 workers would be reported. This would be the case, for instance, when a chemical is imported in sealed containers and resold without repackaging or is shipped from a foreign source directly to a customer.
4.7.4.8Maximum Concentration (Block 2.B.11)
Report the maximum concentration, measured by weight, of your reportable chemical substance at the time it is reacted on-site to produce a different chemical substance or as it leaves the site (40 CFR 711.12(b)(3)(vi)). The concentration must be accurate to the extent that information is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. In your determination of the maximum concentration, do not include concentrations of the product sent off-site for non-commercial purposes (40 CFR 710.1(a)).
For each substance, select the maximum concentration of the substance from the ranges listed in Table 4-4. If the maximum concentration falls between two ranges, round your estimate to the nearest one percent using standard rounding procedures. Report the code that corresponds to the appropriate range. Report the maximum concentration regardless of the various physical forms in which the chemical may be sent off-site or reacted on-site to produce a different chemical substance.
Table 4-4. Codes for Reporting Maximum Concentration
Code |
Concentration Range (weight percent) |
M1 |
Less than 1% by weight |
M2 |
At least 1% but less than 30% by weight |
M3 |
At least 30% but less than 60% by weight |
M4 |
At least 60% but less than 90% by weight |
M5 |
At least 90% by weight |
4.7.4.9Is Chemical Being Recycled, Remanufactured, Reprocessed, Reused, or Reworked? (Block 2.B.12)
Check the box in Block 2.B.12 if the manufactured chemical, such as a byproduct, is to be recycled, remanufactured, reprocessed, reused, or reworked. By checking the box, you indicate that the manufactured chemical, which otherwise would be disposed of as a waste, is being removed from the waste stream and is being used or reused for a commercial purpose.
4.7.4.10Physical Form and Percentage of Production Volume (Blocks 2.B.13 through 2.B.18)
Report all physical forms of the chemical substance at the time it is reacted or as it leaves your site and the percentage of production volume (including both domestically manufactured and imported volumes) for each physical form (40 CFR 711.12(b)(3)(viii)). The six physical forms are:
Dry Powder
Pellets or Large Crystals
Water- or Solvent-Wet Solid
Other Solid
Gas or Vapor
Liquid
Report the percentage of each physical form reacted onsite or sent off-site rounded off to the closest 10 percent (40 CFR 711.12 (c)(3)(ix)). If the substance is sent off-site in more than one physical form, report all the physical forms in which it is sent off-site. In column “a” of this section, check the box for each physical form that applies to the chemical substance. In column “b” of this section, report the percentage of production volume for each physical form reported in section “a.” These percentages may total more or less than 100% due to rounding.
4.7.5Reporting Production Volume (PV) for All Years since Previous Principal Reporting Year (Block 2.B.19)
Report the total volume of the chemical manufactured at your site (include domestically manufactured and imported volumes) during each calendar year (i.e., 2006-2009) since the last principal reporting year in pounds. You should report the total PV, including domestically manufacturing and imported volumes for each year. Report the production volume to at least two significant figures; it should be accurate to the extent known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Production volumes should be reported in numeric format, with or without commas (i.e., 58,000 or 6352000). For example, “2 million” or “2 E6" are not acceptable, nor are production volumes with decimals or abbreviations such as M (e.g., 12,000,000 = 12M) or K (e.g., 50,000 = 50K).
4.8
Information regarding processing or use activities must be reported
to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by the
submitter (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)).
Part III - Processing and Use Information
In addition to completing Parts I and II you must complete Part III of Form U for reportable chemical substances unless the substance is partially exempt. See Sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 to determine whether you qualify for a partial exemption. Report industrial processing and use information for each reportable chemical substance at sites under your control and at domestic sites that receive a reportable chemical substance from you directly or indirectly (including through a broker/distributor, from a customer of yours, etc.) (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)). You should report the processing and use activities for the total 2010 production volume reported (both domestically manufactured (Block 2.B.5.) and imported (Block 2.B.6.)) in Part II.
The processing or use information should be reported to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you (40 CFR 711.12). Section 4.2 contains additional information on the “known to or reasonably ascertainable by” reporting standard. If any information is not known or reasonably ascertainable by you (including your company), enter ‘NK for “not known or reasonably ascertainable” in the box corresponding to that data element. You may also check the CBI box next to each data element to claim data as confidential. However, keep in mind that you cannot claim as confidential any data that is identified as not known to or reasonably ascertainable by you or your company. Checking a CBI box associated with a specific processing and use data element automatically triggers substantiation questions. See Section 5.3 for information on completing the substantiation questions. Additional guidance on reporting processing and use information is available in the documents Questions and Answers for Reporting for the 2011 Partial Updating of the TSCA Chemical Inventory Database and Case Studies for Reporting for the 2011 Partial Updating of the TSCA Chemical Inventory Database available on the Resources page at www.epa.gov/iur.
4.8.1Part III - Section A. Industrial Processing and Use Data (Blocks 3.A.1 through 3.A.10)
For each IUR reportable chemical, report up to ten unique combinations of the following data elements: the Type of Process or Use Operation (TPU) (described in Section 4.8.1.1), the Industrial Sector (IS) (described in Section 4.8.1.2), and the Industrial Function Category (IFC) (described in Section 4.8.1.3) (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)). A combination of these three data elements defines a potential exposure scenario for risk-screening and priority-setting purposes. For each of these unique combinations, you are also required to report the percentage of production volume (described in Section 4.8.1.4), the number of sites (described in Section 4.8.1.5), and the number of workers (described in Section 4.8.1.6) (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)). If more than ten unique combinations apply to a chemical substance, you need only report the ten combinations for the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest percentage of production volume, measured by weight (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(C)). The reporting software will allow you to enter more than ten combinations if you choose to do so.
4.8.1.1Type of Process or Use Operation
To the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you, report the code, shown in Table 4-5, which corresponds to the appropriate Type of Processing or Use Operation (TPU) for the particular combination of IS and IFC codes. Note that if a chemical substance is fully reacted (i.e., reporting “PC” for the processing code), then the chemical substance is consumed and further processing and use information for that chemical substance will not exist. In such a situation, there is no further downstream processing and use information to be reported for that particular type of processing or use operation under 40 CFR 711.12(b)(4). A processing or use code may be reported more than once if more than one IS and/or IFC code applies to the same processing or use operation.
Table 4-5. Type of Process or Use Operation
Code |
Operation |
PC |
Processing as a reactant |
PF |
Processing—incorporation into formulation, mixture, or reaction product |
PA |
Processing—incorporation into article |
PK |
Processing—repackaging |
U |
Use—non-incorporative activities |
Definitions for each code are provided in Appendix E, which may assist you in determining which code to report. To claim the code(s) you report as confidential, check the box(es) next to the information you report.
4.8.1.2Industrial Sectors
You are required to report the Industrial Sector (IS), listed in Table 4-6, for all sites that receive a reportable chemical substance from you either directly or indirectly (including through a broker/distributor, from a customer of yours, etc.) and that process and use of the reportable chemical substance to the extent that this information is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(B)). Because an industrial sector may apply to more than one processing and use scenario for a chemical substance, the same IS code may be reported with different combinations of IFC and TPU codes.
Note that, for the 2006 IUR, you were required to report five-digit North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. Beginning with the 2011 reporting, EPA is replacing the NAICS codes with IS codes. A listing identifying the correspondence between NAICS codes and IS codes is provided in Appendix E. To claim the code(s) you report as confidential, check the box(es) next to the information you report.
When you chose the IS “Other,” you also need to provide a written description of the use of the chemicals substance. Your description may include the NAICS code.

4.8.1.3Industrial Function Category
Identify the Industrial Function Category (IFC), reporting by code as shown in Table 4-7, that corresponds to the appropriate function for each particular combination of TPU and IS that you report (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(C)). Descriptions for each IFC are provided in Appendix E. If you select U099 (Other), provide a description of the industrial function of the chemical substance. Note that EPA revised the IFC descriptions and codes for the 2011 reporting.
4.8.1.4Percentage of Production Volume
Estimate the percentage of total 2010 production volume that is attributable to each unique combination of TPU, IS, and IFC. The percentage should be accurate to the extent that it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you. Round your estimates to the nearest 10 percent of production volume (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(D)). Do not round a particular combination that accounts for five percent or less of the total production volume to zero percent if the production volume attributable to that combination is greater than or equal to 25,000 lb. In such cases, you must report the percentage of production volume attributable to that combination to the nearest one percent of production volume (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(D)).
The total percentage of production volumes associated with the TPU, IS, and IFC combinations may add up to more than 100 percent, given that you are reporting on distribution of a chemical to sites in your control as well as downstream sites, some of which are not immediate purchasers from your original manufacturing site. Additionally, the total percentage of production volume may add up to less than 100 percent if, for example:
You do not know or cannot reasonably ascertain information about how all of your production volume is processed or used;
More than 10 combinations of codes are applicable to your chemical; or
You export a portion of the production volume.
Table 4‑8 provides examples of reporting industrial processing and use data.

Site 1 manufactures 500,000 lb. of Chemical X for processing for incorporation into a mixture. All of the production is for use under industrial sector IS17 (Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing). Of the production volume, 97% (485,000 lb.) is used as a coloring agent for dyes and 3% (15,000 lb.) is used as a coloring agent for pigments. |
On line 3.A.1 of Form U, enter PF for type of process or use, IS17 for industrial sector, U008 for IFC, and 100% for production volume. On line 3.A.2 of Form U, enter PF for type of process or use, IS14 for industrial sector, and U021 for IFC. Because less than 25,000 lb. is used for pigments, enter 0% for production volume. |
Site 1 manufactures 12,000,000 lb. of Chemical X for processing for incorporation into a mixture. All of the production is for use under industrial sector IS17 (Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing). Of the production volume, 97% (11,640,000 lb.) is used as a coloring agent for dyes and 3% (360,000 lb.) is used as a coloring agent for pigments. |
On line 3.A.1 of Form U, enter PF for type of process or use, IS17 for industrial sector, U008 for IFC, and 100% for production volume. Because the use in pigments, IFC U021, accounts for 25,000 lb. or more, on line 3.A.2 of Form U, enter PF for type of process or use, IS17 for industrial sector, U021 for IFC, and 3% for production volume. |
4.8.1.5Number of Sites Code
For each unique combination of TPU, IS, and IFC, report the total number of industrial sites, including those not under your control, that process or use each reported chemical substance to the extent that such information is known or reasonable ascertainable by you (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(E)). In the event you both manufacture (including import) and process or use the same reportable chemical substance at the reporting plant site, your site would be counted as both a manufacturing site in Part II of Form U and a processing or use site reported in Part III of Form U (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)). For each substance, report the code listed in Table 4-9 which corresponds to the appropriate number range.
Table 4-9. Codes for Reporting Numbers of Sites
Codes |
Range |
S1 |
Fewer than 10 sites |
S2 |
At least 10 but fewer than 25 sites |
S3 |
At least 25 but fewer than 100 sites |
S4 |
At least 100 but fewer than 250 sites |
S5 |
At least 250 but fewer than 1,000 sites |
S6 |
At least 1,000 but fewer than 10,000 sites |
S7 |
At least 10,000 sites |
4.8.1.6Number of Workers Code
For each unique combination of Type of Process or Use Operation, Industrial Sector, and Industrial Function Category, estimate the total number of workers that are reasonably likely to be exposed to the chemical substance at sites that process or use the substance (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(i)(F)). Include workers at sites which are not under your control as well as those sites you control. For each substance, report the code listed in Table 4-10 that corresponds to the estimated range of the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed. To claim this information as confidential, check the box adjacent to the reported information.
Table 4-10. Codes for Reporting Number of Workers Reasonably Likely to be Exposed During Processing and Use
Code |
Range of Workers Reasonably Likely to be Exposed |
W1 |
Fewer than 10 workers |
W2 |
At least 10 but fewer than 25 workers |
W3 |
At least 25 but fewer than 50 workers |
W4 |
At least 50 but fewer than 100 workers |
W5 |
At least 100 but fewer than 500 workers |
W6 |
At least 500 but fewer than 1,000 workers |
W7 |
At least 1,000 but fewer than 10,000 workers |
W8 |
At least 10,000 workers |
“Reasonably likely to be exposed” means “an exposure to a chemical substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment, maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.), but excludes accidental or theoretical exposures” (40 CFR 711.3).
Persons reasonably likely to be exposed to a chemical substance include workers whose employment requires them to pass through areas where chemicals are manufactured, processed, or used (e.g., production workers and foremen, process engineers, and plant managers). Workers employed to drive vehicles that transport the chemical should be included in the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to the chemical substance if they come into contact with the chemical during loading or unloading. For example, workers engaged in the connection or disengagement of hoses used to load or unload the chemical should be included. However, workers involved solely with transporting chemicals in sealed (totally enclosed with no potential for exposure) containers should not be included.
In addition, when a site employs temporary, seasonal, or contract workers in the manufacture of a reportable chemical substance, these workers should be included in the number of workers reasonably likely to be exposed to a chemical substance if they work in areas where the chemical is manufactured. The term does not include those employees whose jobs are unassociated with potential exposures to a substance or mixture (e.g., administrative staff who never enter areas where the chemical is manufactured) and who are unlikely to be exposed to a chemical substance for even a brief period of time. No allowance is made for personal protective equipment or for engineering controls that reduce but do not preclude exposure to a chemical substance; however, if contact between a worker and a chemical is highly improbable, the worker should not be included among those persons reasonably likely to be exposed to the chemical substance.
4.8.2Part III - Section B. Consumer and Commercial Use Data (Blocks 3.B.1 through 3.B.10)
For purposes of IUR reporting, a commercial use means the use of a chemical substance or a mixture (including as part of an article) in a commercial enterprise providing saleable goods or a service (40 CFR 711.3). A consumer use, on the other hand, means the use of a chemical substance or a mixture (including as part of an article) when sold to or made available to consumers for their use (40 CFR 711.3).
You are required to report information that is known to or reasonably ascertainable by you concerning the consumer and commercial end uses of each reportable chemical substance manufactured (including imported) at sites you control and at sites controlled by people to whom you have either directly or indirectly (including through a broker/distributor, from a customer, etc.) distributed the reportable chemical substance (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)).
4.8.2.1Product Category
You must designate up to ten product categories which correspond to the actual use of the chemical substance by selecting from the categories listed in Table 4-11 (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(A)). For each product category listed, indicate whether the product is used in consumer or commercial uses by checking the appropriate box in Block in 3.B.1.b. If the product is used in both consumer and commercial sectors, check both boxes.
Note that EPA has revised the list of product category codes. Descriptions of these categories are provided in Appendix E. If you select C999 (Other), you must provide a description of the product category. If more than ten codes apply, you need report only the ten codes for the chemical substance that cumulatively represent the largest percentage of production volume, measured by weight (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(A)).

4.8.2.2Use in Product(s) Intended for Use by Children
Within each consumer product category reported, you must determine whether any amount of each reportable chemical substance manufactured (including imported) by you is present in or on any consumer product(s) intended for use by children age 14 or younger, regardless of the concentration of the substance remaining in or on the product (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(B)). If you determine that your chemical substance or mixture is used in a consumer product intended for use by children, report a “Y” in the appropriate box in the “Used in Product(s) Intended for Children” column in Part III.B of Form U. If you determine that your chemical substance or mixture is not used in a consumer product intended for use by children, report an “N.”
EPA defines “intended for use by children” to mean the chemical substance or mixture is used in or on a product that is specifically intended for use by children age 14 or younger (40 CFR 711.3). Your chemical substance or mixture is intended for use by children if you answer “yes” to at least one of the following questions about the product into which your chemical substance or mixture is incorporated:
Is the product commonly recognized (i.e., by a reasonable person) as being intended for use by children age 14 or younger?
Does the manufacturer of the product state through product labeling or other written materials that the product is intended or will be used by children age 14 or younger?
Is the advertising, promotion, or marketing of the product aimed at children age 14 or younger?
Table 4-12 illustrates some examples of “Use in Product(s) Intended for Use by Children.” For example, certain products (e.g., crayons, coloring books, diapers, and toy cars) are typically used by children age 14 or younger. If you determine that your chemical substance or mixture is used in crayons, for example, you would report “Y” for children’s use for C305.
Certain products, such as household cleaning products, automotive supplies, and lubricants, typically are not intended to be used by children age 14 or younger. As such, if you determine that your chemical substance or mixture is used in automotive care products and lubricants, for example, you would report no for children’s use for categories C401 and C402.
4.8.2.3Percentage of P
How to determine your percent production volume:
Determine the production volume that is attributable to each
consumer and commercial end use.
Determine your total production volume for 2010.
Add together the volume domestically manufactured and the volume
imported.
DO NOT subtract the volume used on-site or the volume exported
Divide the volume determined in step 1 by the volume determined in
step 2 and multiply by 100.
roduction Volume
Determine the production volume that is attributable to each consumer and commercial end use.
Determine your total production volume for 2010.
Add together the volume domestically manufactured and the volume imported.
DO NOT subtract the volume used on-site or the volume exported
Divide the volume determined in step 1 by the volume determined in step 2 and multiply by 100.
Estimate the percentage of your production volume for each reportable chemical substance that is attributable to each specific consumer and commercial end use carried out at sites under your control, as well as at sites that receive a reportable chemical substance from you either directly or indirectly (including through a broker/distributor, from a customer, etc.), to the extent that such information is known to or reasonably ascertainable to you (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(C)). You should round estimates to the nearest 10 percent of production volume (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(C)). However, you may not round a consumer and commercial product category that accounts for five percent or less of the total production volume of a reportable chemical substance to zero percent if the production volume attributable to that consumer and commercial product category is greater than or equal to 25,000 lb. (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(C)). In such cases, you must report the percentage of production volume attributable to that consumer and commercial product category to the nearest one percent of the production volume (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(C)).
Note that the total percentage of production volumes reported may add up to more or less than 100 percent. Rounding to the nearest 10 percent can result in summed percentages either above or below 100 percent. Additionally, the total percentage of production volume may add up to less than 100 percent if, for example:
You do not know or cannot reasonably ascertain information about how all your production volume is used in consumer and commercial products;
More than 10 commercial or consumer product categories are applicable to your chemical substance; or
A portion of your production is consumed in industrial uses or exported.
4.8.2.4Maximum Concentration Code
When the chemical substance you manufacture (including import) is used in commercial or consumer products, you are required to report the estimated typical maximum concentration (measured by weight) of each chemical substance in each commercial or consumer product category reported in Part III of Form U (40 CFR 711.12(b)(4)(ii)(D)). For each substance used in a reported commercial or consumer product, select the appropriate concentration range listed in Table 4-4, and enter the corresponding reporting code.
4.8.2.5Number of Commercial Workers Code
Report the total number of commercial workers, including those at sites not under your control that are reasonably likely to be exposed while using the reportable chemical substance, with respect to each commercial use. For each substance with a commercial use reported in Part III, select the number of workers from the ranges listed in Table 4-10 and enter the corresponding reporting code.
5.0How to Assert Confidentiality Claims
You can designate your IUR data as confidential business information (CBI) by checking the CBI box associated with each data element, responding to a series of substantiation questions for selected data elements, and ensuring that the signature of your authorized official accompanies any substantiation. You are encouraged to limit claims for CBI only to situations in which they are absolutely necessary. You are also encouraged not to assert confidentiality claims if your circumstances have changed and confidentiality is no longer needed. CBI claims will not be accepted or honored if they are not asserted as required at the time information is submitted to EPA or if they are submitted in a manner inconsistent with the IUR rule.
CBI claims must be warranted under the criteria for determining confidentiality found within 40 CFR 2.208. EPA’s procedures for processing and reviewing confidentiality claims are set forth at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B and 40 CFR 711.18. EPA strongly encourages you to review confidentiality claims carefully to ensure that the information in question falls under the protection of TSCA Section 14 and fully meets the substantive questions within the Part 2 rules. If you assert that any of the information contained in the answers to these questions itself contains CBI, you must clearly identify the information that is claimed confidential by marking the specific information on each page with a label such as “confidential business information,” “proprietary,” or “trade secret” (40 CFR 711.18(b)(2)). If you fail to follow these instructions, EPA may release the information to the public without further notice to you.
Specific procedures to claim the identity of the reported chemical, the identity of the site, and processing and use data as CBI are addressed in the following subsections. Table 5-1 summarizes the special considerations for these data elements.
Table 5-1. Special Considerations for Asserting Confidentiality Claims
Data Element |
Asserting a Confidentiality Claim |
Chemical Identity |
Check CBI box in Part II Section A, and submit answers to questions in 40 CFR 711.18(b)(1). (The questions are reproduced in Table 5-2.) |
Site Identity |
Check CBI box in Part II Block 2.B.2 and submit written answers to the questions in 40 CFR 711.18(c)(1). (The questions are reproduced in Table 5-3.) |
Processing and Use Data |
Check the appropriate CBI box in Part III, and submit answers to questions in 40 CFR 711.18(d)(1) for each CBI box checked. (The questions are reproduced in Table 5-4.) |
5.1Chemical Identity
You may assert a confidentiality claim for the specific identity of a chemical substance only if EPA treats the identity of that substance as confidential on the TSCA Inventory at the time your report is submitted (i.e., the substance is not on the public portion of the Inventory) (40 CFR 711.18(b)). If you report a previously confidential substance as nonconfidential, that substance subsequently will be listed on the TSCA Inventory as nonconfidential.
To assert a claim of confidentiality for the identity of your chemical substance, you must check the appropriate CBI box in Part II, Section A and submit detailed written answers to the substantiation questions listed in Table 5-2. Checking the CBI box for chemical identity automatically triggers the substantiation questions. The answers must be complete and specific to the chemical substance in question.
5.2Site Identity
You may assert a claim of confidentiality for the identity of the manufacturing site if the linkage of the site with a reportable chemical is confidential and not publicly available (40 CFR 711.18(c). Claiming site identity as confidential protects the release of site name (i.e., where the chemical was manufactured (including imported)) address, city, county, state, zip code, and Dun & Bradstreet number. Note that claiming site identity confidential does not protect the link between the chemical identity and the company name. To protect the link between the chemical identity and the company name, you need to check the CBI box associated with the company name.
To assert a claim of confidentiality for site identity, check the appropriate CBI box in Part II, Section B and substantiate your claim with detailed written answers to the two questions (see Table 5-3) at 40 CFR 711.18(c)(1). Checking the CBI box for site identity automatically triggers the substantiation questions. Note that confidentiality claims for both site and company information are to be made in conjunction with a specific chemical substance and cannot be made generically for a whole submission. For instance, if you report four chemical substances manufactured (including imported) at a given site on Form U, you are able to claim the site identity as confidential for one chemical while releasing this information for the other three. If the site identity for a particular chemical is not claimed as CBI, or is claimed but not substantiated pursuant to 40 CFR 711.18(c), EPA may make that information available to the public without further notice to the submitter. EPA will not impute the existence of a CBI claim for site identity from a CBI claim for company identity, even if the company name appears within the site identity information.
Table 5-3. Substantiation Questions To Be Answered When Asserting Plant Site Identity CBI Claims (40 CFR 711.18(c)(1))
No. |
Question |
1. |
Has site information been linked with a chemical identity in any other Federal, state, or local reporting scheme? For example, is the chemical identity linked to a facility in a filing under the EPCRA section 311, namely through a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)? If so, identify all such schemes. Was the linkage claimed as confidential in any of these instances? |
2. |
What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position do you think would result from disclosure of the identity of the site and the chemical substance? How could a competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and the harmful effects? |
5.3Processing and Use Information
You may assert a claim of confidentiality for data associated with the processing and use information reported in Part III of Form U if you have reason to believe that release of the information would reveal trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information, as provided by section 14 of TSCA and 40 CFR Part 2. While submitters were not required to provide upfront substantiation for this information during the last reporting cycle (2006), EPA now requires upfront substantiation of CBI claims these data.
To assert a claim of confidentiality for data associated with processing and use information, check the appropriate CBI box(es) in Part III of Form U and, for each box checked, substantiate your claim with detailed written answers to the questions in Table 5-4 (40 CFR 711.18(d)(1)). Checking a CBI box for a specific data element automatically triggers the substantiation questions. The answers must be complete and specific as to the chemical substance and data element in question.
Table 5-4. Substantiation Questions To Be Answered When Asserting Processing and Use Information CBI Claims (40 CFR 711.18(d)(1))
No. |
Question |
1. |
Is the identified use of this chemical publicly known? For example, is information on the use available in advertisements or other marketing materials, professional journals or other similar materials, or in non-confidential mandatory or voluntary government filings or publications? Has your company ever provided use information on the chemical that was not claimed as confidential? |
2. |
What harmful effect, if any, to your competitive position do you think would result from disclosure of the processing and use data and the chemical substance? How could a competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and the harmful effects? |
5.4CBI Claims for “NK” Responses
If you claim downstream information as “not known to or reasonably ascertained by” you, you can not claim the information as confidential.
5.5Negative Responses for Products Intended for Use by Children
If your chemical is not used in products intended for use by children (i.e., you answered ‘N’ in Part III.B), you are encouraged not to claim the information as confidential.
6.0How to Submit Your Form U to EPA
For the 2011 submission period, manufacturers (including importers) are required to use e-IURweb, the IUR reporting software, and EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) to create an electronic version of Form U to submit information in response to the requirements of this rule (40 CFR Part 711). EPA will no longer accept paper submissions or electronic media (diskette, CD-Rom, etc.) for any IUR submission. A separate IUR submission is required for each plant site (40 CFR 711.12(a)). If you need to report information for more than one chemical at your site, report information for all reportable chemicals on one Form U. Note that e-IURweb allows you to copy information from one chemical report to another chemical report within the same Form U.
6.1The e-IURweb Software
e-IURweb is a web-based version of the e-IUR downloadable software that was available for the 2006 submission period. e-IURweb is an interactive, user-friendly, web-based tool that includes embedded help files to help guide you through the IUR submission process. The tool allows the user to submit Form U electronically, over the Internet using CDX, without mailing any paper to EPA. It can be accessed anywhere you have a connection to the Internet and requires no downloads or software installs. Once you complete the relevant data entry, the software will validate the submission by performing basic error checks and making sure all the required fields are completed, allow you to create and save the submission for site records, and prompt you to choose CDX as the submission method.
Authorized officials and all support submitters must register for the e-IURweb application at https://cdx.epa.gov. This registration requires the printing, completion, and mailing of an electronic signature agreement and other verification forms. Please allow adequate time for the mailing and processing of these forms, which is estimated to take a minimum of five (5) business days.
For companies with their own data collection process, e-IURweb allows direct data transfers to the electronic version of Form U. The schema will be made available for those companies to directly feed their data into the reporting tool without entering the data one chemical at a time. e-IURweb will check the data for common errors and prepare Form U for submission.
For more information regarding accessing e-IURweb, please visit http://www.epa.gov/iur/. You can also contact the TSCA Hotline by telephone at (202) 554-1404 or by email at tsca-hotline@epa.gov for assistance.
6.2The Central Data Exchange (CDX)
CDX is a service which enables you to electronically submit data to EPA. You must register with CDX to submit online, and you must register the name of the company on whose behalf you are submitting a form.
The following tasks can be performed through CDX:
• Connection to the CDX Node;
• Retrieval of the company identity for which you are registered to submit documents;
• Cryptographic key pair generation;
• File encryption;
• File decryption;
• Document Submission – allows you to submit your IUR report electronically to EPA via the
CDX Node;
• Transaction Search – allows you to search through the list of submitted documents by CDX
Transaction ID number; and
• Document Download – allows you to download ancillary documents related to your
submission, such as a copy of record.
Benefits of Submitting Forms through CDX: ■
Reduces time and expense of mailing paper ■
Improves security using digital encryption ■
Eliminates errors associated with manual processing ■
Automates and expedites validation and receipt
acknowledgement ■
Minimizes follow-up phone calls for clarification and
correction.
For questions or additional information about CDX, please visit http://www.epa.gov/cdx. You can also email the help desk at helpdesk@epacdx.net or call the CDX technical support staff at 888-890-1995 (8:00 am to 6:00 pm (EST) Monday through Friday).
6.3Registering with CDX
CDX registration is required only for persons who will be submitting documents to EPA on behalf of a company. Each site submitting IUR information is required to have an authorized official (who will be signing the submission and is responsible for the data) and a technical contact (who may act as a support submitter). For purposes of CDX registration, the roles and access rights of an authorized official and a technical contact are as follows:
Authorized Official – The person who can submit all documents and is legally responsible for the information submitted to EPA. EPA requires the full name, title, mailing address, email address, and phone number for this individual. EPA assumes that this person may be the authorized official for more than one plant site; therefore, there is a one-to-many relationship between an authorized official and sites. The authorized official is also responsible for designating one technical contact for each plant site. They can do this by selecting from a drop down list of registered support submitters in the reporting tool. Once selected, the technical contact information will populate Form U (Blocks 1.C.1 through 1.C.8).
Technical Contact – The person who works at, is associated with, and will be the contact for a particular site over a period of time. The technical contact should be the most knowledgeable about the accuracy and completeness of the chemical information submitted. They may or may not complete all or most of Form U. The technical contact may be a paid employee of the company or may be an outside consultant or contractor. Multiple support submitters will be allowed, but one support submitter should be identified as a technical contact for the purposes of Part 1, Section C of Form U. EPA requires the full name, mailing address, email address, and phone number for this individual. EPA assumes that this individual may be associated with more than one site, and even more than one company. EPA also assumes that there may be more than one technical contact registered with any one site; therefore, there is a many-to-many relationship between technical contacts and sites.
6.3.1Registering as an Authorized Official
CDX registration is a multi-part process. Follow these instructions to register at the CDX web site and add the e-IURweb application to your new CDX account.
Step 1: Complete the basic registration information
Go to http://cdx.epa.gov to create your CDX account.
On the CDX Home page, click on a registration link to start a registration wizard. A warning and privacy notice will be displayed.
Click on the “Click here to continue” link to start the registration process.
Accept the Terms and Conditions registration agreement. You will be directed to the Registration page.
Complete your one-time registration on the CDX registration screens. After
entering a user name, password, and secret question, you will be asked to enter your organization’s information.
On the e-TSCA Program Selection page, select the Electronic Inventory Update Reporting (e-IURweb) button and click “Next.”
Choose the “Authorized Official” role on the Add Program ID page. This will trigger the electronic signature agreement process.
Step 2: Sign the Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA) and the Verification of Company Authorizing Official forms
Print, complete, notarize, and mail the Electronic Signature Agreement and Verification of Company Authorizing Official forms to EPA. To authorize a support submitter, you and your support submitter must also complete and mail the Authorization and Verification of Support Submitter form. Note that the support submitter will need your CDX user ID in order to register with CDX.
The Electronic Signature Agreement form contains information entered during CDX registration along with terms of agreement for use of the electronic signature, your signature, and the signature of a notary public. This form is the main registration form for CDX and helps ensure that all electronic signature holders are responsible parties. If an authorized official represents multiple sites, they will be able to generate a single ESA for all the sites they represent.
The Verification of Company Authorizing Official form contains the signed statement from an immediate supervisor or witnessing official that the authorized official is the person who must sign their name in the certification statement box on Form U.
The Authorization and Verification of Support Submitter form is used to connect an authorized official’s CDX user ID to that of a support submitter. The form requires the signature of an immediate supervisor or witnessing official from the company and anyone authorized to submit supporting information. The authorized official can have the agreement with an unlimited number of support submitters, but will have to complete a form for each support submitter. A support submitter can work with an unlimited number of authorized officials, but will need an agreement with each authorized official (even if the authorized officials work at the same company). Authorized officials and support submitters will need to complete and sign the Authorization and Verification of Support Submitter form only once. Authorized officials can view their support submitter’s registration status by selecting “View Support Registrants” on the MyCDX home page.
Step 3: Complete Online Registration
After printing the ESA and verification forms, the “successfully registered” confirmation page will be displayed. Click “Finished” to complete your online registration as a submitter for the 2011 IUR. You will automatically be redirected to the MyCDX home page. At this point, you have only created an online account and signed up for a role. Your registration application will be reviewed and if your credentials are confirmed, you will be notified via e-mail that your account has been activated.
Step 4: Activate your account
Once your account has been validated/activated, the system will send you a registration status change notification email, requesting that you re-login into the system and continue with the user setup process.
Step 5: Complete the 20-5-1 Questionnaire
The first time you log into CDX, you will be asked to provide answers to five questions from the “20-5-1 Questionnaire.” Each time you enter CDX, thereafter, you will be prompted with one randomly selected question of the five you answered to confirm your identity.
The “successfully registered” confirmation page will be displayed. Click “Continue” to complete your registration. You will automatically be redirected to the MyCDX home page.
Step 6: Click on the “e-IURweb Prepare Submission” Hyperlink
The “e-IURweb Prepare Submission” hyperlink will be displayed below “Available Account Profiles” on the MyCDX home page.
Step 7: Begin the e-IURweb Application
A new window will appear to begin preparing your Form U! Ensure that your pop-up blocker is disabled.
6.3.2Registering as a Support Submitter
A support submitter is a person designated by an authorized official to provide supporting information on behalf of a company. This individual may be a corporate on-site contact, a technical contact, a paid employee of the company, an outside consultant for the company, or an authorized representative agent for the company. Support submitters are not allowed to sign the certification statement required for the initial IUR submission, but they may enter or modify data for the site for which they are authorized. When EPA receives information from a support submitter, the Agency will verify that the person had been authorized to submit the information on behalf of an authorized official.
Follow these instructions to register at the CDX web site and add the e-IURweb application to your CDX account.
Step 1: Complete the basic registration information
Go to http://cdx.epa.gov to create your CDX account.
On the CDX Home page, click on a registration link to start a registration wizard. A warning and privacy notice will be displayed.
Click on the “Click here to continue” link to start the registration process.
Accept the Terms and Conditions registration agreement. You will be directed to the Registration page.
Complete your one-time registration on the CDX registration screens. After entering a user name, password, and secret question, you will be asked to enter your organization’s information.
On the Program Selection page, select the “Electronic Inventory Update Reporting (e-IURweb)” button and click “Next.”
Choose the “Support Submitter” role on the Add Program ID page. This will trigger the electronic signature agreement process.
Step 2: Enter the authorized official’s CDX user ID
Enter the CDX user ID of the authorized official for whom you will be submitting support information. If you enter the authorized official’s user ID correctly, the system will ask for further verification. Select the organization that you should be associated with.
Step 3: Sign the Authorization and Verification of Support Submitter Form
To authenticate identity and verify authorization, print and sign the Authorization and Verification of Support Submitter form. The verificationform requires the authorized official’s signature and the support submitter’s signature. See Section 6.3.1, Step 2(c) for instructions on completing the form.
Step 4: Complete Online Registration
After printing theverification form, the “successfully registered” confirmation page will be displayed. Click “Finished” to complete your online registration as a support submitter for the 2011 IUR. You will be redirected automatically to the MyCDX home page. At this point, you have only created an online account and signed up for a role. Your registration application will be reviewed and if your credentials are confirmed, you will be notified via e-mail that your account has been activated.
Step 5: Complete Steps 4 through 7 as described in Section 6.3.1
6.4Submitting Forms through CDX
Follow these instructions to submit Form U using e-IURweb and CDX.
Complete and validate Form U. Create and save the file as an XML (default format used to transport data) file and a PDF file (for your records).
Choose CDX as the submission path.
Provide your CDX user name and password to electronically sign and certify the submission (authorized official only). The software will encrypt the file and allow you to save it on your computer.
Select the “Connect to CDX Web site” button to open a web browser to the CDX home page.
Log into CDX and select e-IURweb from your “MY CDX” homepage. At the file upload screen, select your e-IURweb file and then press “Submit.”
You can check the status of your submission and receive a copy of record through CDX. After your IUR submission has been sent to CDX, you will be taken to a page that provides a transaction identifier to uniquely identify your submission. After the file is processed and the signature validated, messages will be sent to the registered email address and the associated CDX inbox. These messages will confirm receipt of the IUR submission and validation of the signature.
To maintain the confidentiality of information submitted to EPA, e-IURweb encrypts submissions using a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant encryption module. The submission is encrypted by the reporting tool and remains encrypted during transmission to CDX, while stored and archived in CDX, and during transmission from CDX to EPA’s operational data repository. The file can only be decrypted with EPA’s private key when it has reached its final destination. EPA is the only party that possesses the private key, which converts the encrypted text back into readable text. EPA recognizes that securing CBI data is of utmost and critical importance to the success of the CDX in the IUR submission process. For that reason, only CBI-cleared, EPA employees and contractors will be permitted access to IUR submissions.
6.5Accessing Your Site Data in e-IURweb before Submission
You are able to complete Form U in more than one session. When an authorized official or support submitter accesses the data in e-IURweb, they will be given the option to either save or finalize the submission. If a support submitter chooses to finalize the submission, the authorized official will be notified that the submission has been completed and requires certification. If the submission has not been finalized by a support submitter when the authorized official views the data, the authorized official will receive a message stating that the data have not been finalized. The authorized official can complete and submit a valid IUR submission regardless of the data being finalized by a support submitter.
Note that if you are accessing the data for a specific site and other individuals have rights to the data, their view will be “Read Only” until you either log out or your session expires.
6.6Special Instructions for Joint Submitters
NOTE: Submission via CDX is still under development. These guidelines are subject to
change.
Joint submissions are allowed only in those instances where a supplier will not disclose to the submitter the specific chemical name of the imported Inventory substance or of a reactant used to manufacture the Inventory substance. This may happen, for instance, when a company is importing a mixture under a trade name, and the foreign manufacturer doesn't want to reveal the components in the mixture. In this case, the manufacturer (including importer) and the supplier report the information required in a joint submission. The manufacturer (including importer) is responsible for ensuring that the IUR information is submitted to EPA, therefore, they must have the supplier of the confidential chemical substance directly provide EPA with the correct chemical identity in Part IV of Form U. A supplier can also initiate the joint submission process before the manufacturer (including importer). The supplier can provide the company information for a manufacturer (including importer) and the percent production volume of each component chemical substance of the trade product provided to the manufacturer (including importer) in Part IV. In this case, the supplier should contact the manufacturer (including importer) notifying them of the possible need to report.
Furthermore, in the event the manufacturer (including importer) submitting a report cannot provide the whole chemical identity because the reportable chemical substance is manufactured using a reactant having a specific chemical identity claimed as confidential by its supplier, the manufacturer (including importer) should submit a report directly to EPA containing all other information known to or reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer (including importer) about the chemical identity of the reported substance. They should also have the supplier directly provide to EPA the correct chemical identity of the confidential reactant in a joint submission (see 40 CFR 711.12(b)(3)(i)). Note that if the manufacturer (including importer) knows 100% of the composition of the imported chemical substance, they should not file jointly with the supplier.
For 2006 and prior IUR submissions, submitters were not able to submit joint reports electronically. Because signatures are required by each party of a joint submission, they must each register with CDX, and completeand submit their own sections of the same Form U report electronically to EPA. The reporting tool will match both submissions based upon company and chemical information provided by the manufacturer (including importer), who will serveas the primary submitter, and the supplier, who will serve as the secondary submitter. The information provided by the primary and secondary submitters will be saved and combined as one joint submission. EPA will process the joint submission once all forms are received and matched by the Agency.
If you are a manufacturer (including importer), as primary submitter, you should:
Register with CDX as described in Section 6.3.1.
Submit all your IUR information on one Form U by checking both the “Single submission” box and “Joint submission(s)- as primary submitter” box. First, enter the information for your original submission. Complete your original submission as described in Section 4 of this document. Second, when you are finished entering data for the original submission, click on the “Joint Submission” tab to complete the required fields for your joint submission.
For your joint submission, complete Parts II and III for each reportable chemical substance supplied to you. Use the “Add Chemical” tab to include information for additional chemical substances supplied by the same company or another company.
Part I: Company and Site Identification Information (Blocks 1.A.1 through 1.C.8)
Your company and site information provided during CDX registration will populate Part 1. For Part 1: Section C, select your technical contact from the drop down list of registered support submitters. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
Part II- Section A: Chemical Identification (Block 2.A.2)
Select “joint submission” from the drop-down menu.
Part II- Section A: Joint Submission Information (Blocks 2.A.5 through 2.A.12)
Enter the trade name, your secondary submitter's company name, and complete mailing address. You can provide additional information regarding the trade name or the components of the chemical in Block 2.A.6.
You have two options for reporting trade product information.
Report only the trade product name. Do not report any chemicals that are known to be a part of the trade product composition.
OR
Report the trade product name with partial composition of the trade product and request the secondary report 100% of the proprietary information. If you choose this option, you must submit the non-proprietary data on a separate Form U report, aggregating the total production volume manufactured (including imported) at your site.
Part II-Section B: Manufacturing Information (Blocks 2.B.1 through 2.B.18)
Enter the manufacturing information as described in Section 4.7 of this document.
Part III: Processing and Use Information (Blocks 3.A.1 through 3.B.10)
Enter the processing and use information as described in Section 4.8 of this document.
Submit the file to EPA via CDX.
Once your file has been submitted, select the “Email Secondary Submitter” tab to communicate with your secondary submitter via email. The software will provide an email with a unique identifying number and boilerplate language that you can use to notify your secondary submitter of the partial IUR submission containing information for the trade product. The identifying number will be used to link the joint reports in an internal database. The email will request that the secondary submitter report the correct chemical identity information to EPA using e-IURweb and refer them to the IUR web site (www.epag.gov/iur) for guidance on registering with CDX and completing Part IV of Form U. All electronic communication sent via CDX using the tool will be copiedto EPA. You can also use the letter template, provided by the tool, to communicate with your secondary submitter via standard mail delivery.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your secondary submitter understands how to complete Form U, including substantiating any relevant CBI claims, and that they send the information to EPA by the end of the submission period. If the secondary submitter fails to submit the information, your company may be subject to an enforcement action. If the secondary submitter decides to provide you with the required trade product information, instead of registering with CDX, you can change your submission type and submit a single submission. The tool will send acknowledgements to both the primary and the secondary submitters after EPA receives both portions of a joint submission.
If you are a supplier, as secondary submitter, you should:
Register with CDX as described in Section 6.3.1.
Request to submit a joint report by selecting “Joint submission-as secondary submitter” on the main page of the reporting tool. Provide the primary company information, the unique identifying number, and the trade product name supplied to you by the primary submitter. This information will be used togrant you access to the Form U containing information specific to the trade product name.
Complete Part IV of Form U.
Section A: Secondary Company Information (Blocks 4.A.1 through 4.A.8)
Your company information (company name and mailing address) provided during CDX registration will populate Section A. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
Section B: Secondary Technical Contact Information (Blocks 4.B.1 through 4.B.9)
You are responsible for designating one technical contact for your company. Select the contact from the drop down list of registered support submitters. Once selected, the technical contact information (name, phone number, mailing address, and email address) will populate Section B. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
Section C: Primary Company Identification Information (Blocks 4.C.1 through 4.C.7)
Enter the primary submitter’s company name, site name and complete mailing address (city, state, and zip code). The primary company information provided during CDX registration will populate Section C. Please double check this information to ensure all required fields are complete and accurate. If any information is incorrect or incomplete, the authorized official should make the necessary changes in CDX.
Section D: Trade Product Identification Information (Block 4.D.1 through 4.D.3)
Enter the trade product name provided to you by the primary submitter, the Chemical Abstracts (CA) index name as the specific chemical name, the CAS Registry Number (CASRN), ID code corresponding to the type of identifying number you enter in Block 4.D.2.a, and the percent production volume of each component chemical substance of the trade product. You may provide additional information associated with the chemical substance in Block 4.D.3. If you wish to claim the chemical identity as confidential, check the “CBI” box and submit substantiation as described in Section 5.1. Checking the CBI box for chemical identity automatically triggers the substantiation questions.
Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name
Enter in Block 4.D.2.a the specific Chemical Abstracts (CA) Index Name as used to list your chemical substance in the TSCA Inventory. The CA Index Name is to correspond with the reported CASRN in Block 4.D.2.b. In cases where the CA Index Name is not known or reasonably ascertainable, use nomenclature that completely and accurately describes the chemical substance. The reporting software will provide the appropriate CASRN/CA Index Name combination for you to select. Note that the public inventory lists the specific chemical names or, for those chemicals listed on the confidential inventory, the corresponding generic name. Do not rely on the listed generic name to determine whether your chemical substance is listed on the TSCA Inventory. A generic name often is not specific to a given Inventory substance and may be used to represent multiple specific chemical identities. The TSCA Accession Number, however, is unique to the specific confidential chemical substance.
6.7Correcting or Updating 2011 IUR Submissions
NOTE: Submission via CDX is still under development. These guidelines are subject to
change.
Only an uthorized official or a support submitter (e.g. technical contact) can make changes to a previously submitted IUR submission. An authorized official will be required to login to CDX to allow a support submitter to amend an original submission. The initial view of the data will be “Read Only” and you must affirm in a multi-step process that an amendment needs to be made. A support submitter can save, finalize, or cancel an amendment, but it is the responsibility of the authorized official to sign and submit the amended file. Canceling an amendment will revert back to the previously signed submission.
If you wish to make a correction or addition to a previously submitted 2011 IUR submission, log into CDX and access the original Form U in e-IURweb. Select “Amendment” on the e-IURweb home screen. Enter your company name, site name and address, and the chemical name and identifying number. Select the Form U that contains data specific to your chemical substance and make changes to any of the data fields.
After certifying to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information reported and validating the submission, the amended data file will be sent to EPA by CDX. The act of correcting errors in submissions under the IUR does not grant the person making the correction immunity from enforcement action for any possible violations of the IUR rule.
If the reporting period is coming to a close, and changes have been made and saved to the submission that have not been signed and submitted by the authorized official, a notice will be sent to both the authorized official and support submitter. They will be notified that the submission must be signed and submitted to EPA in order for it to be considered a valid submission.
6.8Recordkeeping Requirements
You are required to retain records of your IUR reports for five years beginning on the last day of the applicable submission period. For example, if you submit an IUR report for a submission period ending September 30, 2011, you would be required to retain the records on which the report is based until September 30, 2016. Submitters are encouraged to retain their records longer than five years to ensure that past records are available as a reference when new submissions are being generated.
As long as the records are maintained in a manner consistent with normal business practices, you may determine their exact format. Required records include those that show the production volume, plant site, and site-limited status of each substance reported. If a substance is not reported because its site-specific annual production is less than 25,000 lb., EPA suggests you maintain records to document your reasons for not filing Form U.
If you qualify as an exempt small manufacturer, you need to keep records only for those chemical substances that you are required to report; however, in claiming an exemption, you bear the burden of documenting that you qualify for the exemption.
6.9Requesting a Copy of Record
You may obtain a paper copy of record, in accordance with the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR), of the file stored in EPA’s operational data repository by submitting a request to: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Attention: IUR Document Control Officer, Mail Code 7407M, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001. In your request, provide the transaction identifier provided to you upon submission of your report. A paper copy of your submission will be sent to the address provided at the time of registration. The paper copy can be compared to the PDF file that was saved prior to submitting the file through CDX. If any discrepancies are noted, notify EPA immediately using the same address as used for requesting the paper copy of your submission.

Processor means any person who processes a chemical substance or mixture. (40 CFR 704.3)
Reasonably likely to be exposed means an exposure to a chemical substance which, under foreseeable conditions of manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, or use of the chemical substance, is more likely to occur than not to occur. Such exposures would normally include, but would not be limited to, activities such as charging reactor vessels, drumming, bulk loading, cleaning equipment, maintenance operations, materials handling and transfers, and analytical operations. Covered exposures include exposures through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, absorption, etc.), but excludes accidental or theoretical exposures.
Repackaging means the physical transfer of a chemical substance or mixture, as is, from one container to another container or containers in preparation for distribution of the chemical substance or mixture in commerce.
Reportable chemical substance means a chemical substance described in §711.5.
Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by a public right-of-way shall be considered one site. More than one plant may be located on a single site.
(a) For substances manufactured under contract, i.e., by a toll manufacturer, the site is the location where the chemical substance is physically manufactured.
(b)The site for an importer who imports a chemical substance described in §711.5 is the United States site of the operating unit within the person's organization that is directly responsible for importing the substance. The import site, in some instances, may be the organization's headquarters in the United States. If there is no such operating unit or headquarters in the United States, the site address for the importer is the United States address of an agent acting on behalf of the importer who is authorized to accept service of process for the importer.
(c) For portable manufacturing units sent out to different locations from a single distribution center, the distribution center shall be considered the site.
.
Site-limited means a chemical substance is manufactured and processed only within a site and is not distributed for commercial purposes as a substance or as part of a mixture or article outside the site. Imported substances are never site-limited. Although a site-limited chemical substance is not distributed for commercial purposes outside the site at which it is manufactured and processed, the substance is considered to have been manufactured and processed for commercial purposes.
Small quantities for purposes of scientific experimentation or analyses or chemical research on, or analysis of, such substance or another substance, including any such research or analysis for the development of a product means quantities of a chemical substance manufactured, imported, or processed or proposed to be manufactured, imported or processed that:
(1) Are no greater than reasonably necessary for such purposes, and
(2) After the publication of the revised inventory, are used by, or directly under the supervision of, a technically qualified individual(s).
Note: Any chemical substances manufactured, imported, or processed in quantities less than 1,000 lb. (454 kg) annually will be presumed to be manufactured, imported, or processed for research and development purposes. No person may report for the inventory any chemical substance in such quantities unless that person can certify that the substance was not manufactured, imported, or processed solely in small quantities for research and development. (40 CFR 704.3)
State is any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or any other territory or possession of the United States. (40 CFR 704.3)
Submission period means the period in which manufacturing, processing, and use data are submitted to EPA.
Test marketing means the distribution in commerce of no more than a predetermined amount of chemical substance, mixture, or article containing that chemical substance or mixture, by a manufacturer or processor to no more than a defined number of potential customers to explore market capability in a competitive situation during a predetermined testing period prior to the broader distribution of that chemical substance, mixture, or article in commerce. (40 CFR 704.3)
United States, when used in the geographic sense, means all of the states, territories, and possessions of the United States. (40 CFR 710.3)
Use means any utilization of a chemical substance or mixture that is not otherwise covered by the terms manufacture or process. Relabeling or redistributing a container holding a chemical substance or mixture where no repackaging of the chemical substance or mixture occurs does not constitute use or processing of the chemical substance or mixture.
Appendix C

Chemical Substances that are the Subject of Certain TSCA Orders, Proposed or Final TSCA Rules, or Relief Granted under Civil Actions
(as of June 2006)
Listed below are the CAS Registry Numbers (for non-confidential chemical substances) or Accession Numbers (for confidential substances) of substances that are the subject of a rule, proposed or promulgated under TSCA section 4, 5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6; an order issued under section 5(e)or 5(f) of TSCA; or relief that has been granted under a civil action under sections 5 or 7 of TSCA as of March 2006 (see 40 CFR 711.6 and 711.9).
IMPORTANT: This document is intended to be an information resource. While EPA has tried to provide an accurate list of chemicals, the list may contain errors and omissions. This list should not be relied upon in lieu of relevant orders, Federal Register documents, or the Code of Federal Regulations. In the event of a conflict between this list and orders, Federal Register documents, or the Code of Federal Regulations, this list will not be considered controlling.
In addition, please note that this list does NOT contain a full listing of all chemicals subject to the IUR rule. The list is only intended to include those chemicals which would otherwise be wholly or partially exempted from IUR requirements but for which information must be reported because they are the subject of certain TSCA actions as noted above. The exemptions for polymers, inorganic substances, or microorganisms do not apply for substances on these lists. The exemption for small businesses does not apply to some of the chemicals on these lists. The exemption for naturally occurring substances is still valid for chemicals on these lists, as discussed in Section 2.1.3.4 of this Instruction Manual. If after consulting the list you are uncertain as to the regulatory status of a chemical substance, contact the TSCA Hotline at (202) 554-1404 for assistance.

Operation |
Description |
PC |
Processing as a reactant |
Chemical substance is used in chemical reactions for the manufacturing of another chemical substance or product. |
PF |
Processing—incorporation into formulation, mixture, or reaction product |
Chemical substance is added to a product (or product mixture) prior to further distribution of the product. |
PA |
Processing—incorporation into article |
Chemical substance becomes an integral component of an article distributed for industrial, trade, or consumer use. |
PK |
Processing—repackaging |
Preparation of a chemical substance for distribution in commerce in a different form, state, or quantity. This includes transferring the substance from a bulk container into smaller containers. This definition does not apply to sites that only relabel or redistribute the reportable chemical substance without removing the chemical substance from the container in which it is received or purchased. |
U |
Use—non-incorporative activities |
Chemical substance is otherwise used (e.g., as a chemical processing or manufacturing aid). |
