TSCA section 8(b)(10)(D) requires EPA to establish reporting deadline(s) and information requirements for the purpose of assisting EPA’s statutorily-mandated periodic update and publication of the inventory of mercury supply, use, and trade in the United States. The reporting requirements apply to anyone who manufactures (including imports) mercury or mercury-added products or otherwise intentionally uses mercury in a manufacturing process. Those subject to the rule are required to electronically submit on a triennial basis information specifying the quantities of elemental mercury or mercury compounds manufactured, imported, exported, stored, and distributed in domestic commerce. Based on the reported information, EPA is required under TSCA to subsequently identify any manufacturing processes or products that intentionally add mercury and to recommend actions, including potential revisions of Federal law or regulations, to achieve further reductions in mercury use.

This is a new data collection activity resulting from the TSCA amendments, which requires EPA to collect information to assist in the preparation of an “inventory of mercury supply, use, and trade in the United States.” As such, the change being implemented in this ICR period is the addition of new burden and cost. This increase is solely due to program changes that result from the new reporting requirements for manufacturers (including importers) or processors of mercury and mercury-added products.
