Introduction

This document presents the user guide for the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT)
Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting application. This document is the user guide for the
Primary Support user of the Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting tool.
As a Primary Support, you can edit a form created by your Primary Authorized Official (AO).
You are only able to access submissions to which your Primary AO has granted you access.
You can save a submission at any point during the data entry process. The save functionality will
allow you to return to that same submission at any point in the future.
General information on Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting is available at
http://www.epa.gov/oppt/chemtest/ereporting/index.html. Information on CDX registration,
including user roles that apply to completing a Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting is
available at http://cdx.epa.gov/About/UserGuide
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations require industry to provide the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) with documentation regarding chemical production, manufacture,
distribution, use, disposal, import, and export. As a result, the implementation of TSCA has
generated a large volume of documents submitted to the Agency by the regulated community.
The Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting application is an electronic, web-based tool
provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the submission of Section 8(d)
Health & Safety Data Reporting data. As a Primary Support, you will only have access to those
Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting submissions able to edit the Section 8(d) Health &
Safety Data Reporting submission.
For questions concerning the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(d) Health &
Safety Data Reporting software requirements, please contact the Central Data Exchange (CDX)
Help Desk at helpdesk@epacdx.net or call 1-888-890-1995 between the hours of 8am – 6pm
Eastern Standard Time (EST). For TSCA Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data reporting
requirements, please contact the TSCA Hotline at TSCA-Hotline@epamail.epa.gov or call 202554-1404.
1.1

Labeling Confidential Information

This user guide presents instructions and screenshots for the ‘Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data
Reporting’ electronic application as if you were logged in as the Primary Support. As the
Primary Support you are able to modify an 8(d) submission. The user may claim certain
information as Confidential Business Information (CBI). If the data is claimed as CBI, it will be
treated in accordance with Agency confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
This TSCA Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting electronic application is optional for
the production and submission of these filings. The paper option for filing will continue to be
allowed.
Potential users may find that the use of this application saves time, burden and, because it is in an
electronic format, provides easy access to reporting forms. Potential users are reminded to
carefully read and follow application instructions. Persons who wish to use this application must
address all provisions in the application, including those relating to indexing information (i.e.,

8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting User Guide
Primary Support

company name, address, chemical name etc.) and those related to CBI submissions, including the
requirement for the submission of sanitized or redacted filings.
Please note that certain CBI claims will not be accepted if you choose to use this electronic
application for TSCA Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting. For example, chemical
name and/or chemical identity, if the chemical is listed on the public portion of the TSCA
Inventory, may not be claimed as CBI in a submission using this application.
If the user believes that, these or other data elements should be treated as CBI, then the user may
use the paper option to file the Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting form and assert CBI
claims.
If the user claims an uploaded document as CBI, a sanitized document must be provided.
The following fields can be claimed as CBI within the ‘Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data
Reporting’ application:
 Technical Contact Information
 Submitting on Behalf of Company information
 A single chemical substance that is not on the public TSCA Inventory
 Any document uploaded on the following screens:
o Full Study
o Initiated Studies
o Ongoing Studies
o Studies which are known but without possession of copies
o Underlying Data
o Preliminary Reports of Ongoing Studies
o Copies of Studies
 Laboratory information on the following screens:
o Initiated Studies
o Ongoing Studies
o Studies Which are Known but Without Possession of Copies
o Studies Previously Sent to Federal Agencies Without Confidentiality Claims
o Preliminary Reports of Ongoing Studies
 Contact information on the following screens:
o Studies Which are Known but Without Possession of Copies
o Studies Previously Sent to Federal Agencies Without Confidentially Claims
o Copies of Studies

Copies of Studies Screen

You can access the ‘Copies of Studies’ screen by checking the ‘Copies of Studies’ checkbox on
the ‘Study Identification’ screen and clicking the ‘Next’ button. You can also access this screen
by clicking the ‘Copies of Studies’ link within the navigation tree.
The ‘Copies of Studies’ screen provides you with ‘Add Documents’ and ‘Add Studies’ radio
buttons. Selecting the ‘Add Documents’ radio button generates the ‘Add Document’ button and
the copies of studies table. Clicking the ‘Add Document’ button generates the ‘Copies of
Studies’ pop-up window for you to upload documents. To add additional documents you can
click the ‘Add Document’ button as needed from the ‘Copies of Studies’ screen. You can delete
unwanted attached documents by clicking the ‘Delete’ icon located in the ‘Actions’ column of
the copies of studies table. To attach a replacement document for a document that was previously
attached, click the file name link for the desired document under the ‘File Name’ column. Once
you click the file name link of the desired document, the attachment pop-up window generates
for you to attach a new document. Attaching a new document will overwrite the existing
document. The changes will commit once you click the ‘OK’ button.
If you select the ‘Add Study’ radio button the system generates the ‘Add Studies’ field set.
Clicking the ‘Add Studies’ radio button generates a field set that displays text fields for you to
enter required study information. You are required to identify the study title, and the name and
address of the contact who possesses a copy of the indicated study. This information must
accompany each listed entry.
The system provides the following text fields to complete:
 Study Title: Enter the title of the study. This field is required.
 CBI: Check the ‘CBI’ checkbox to identify the information of the individual who possesses a
copy of the indicated study as confidential.
 Prefix: If applicable, select the prefix of the individual who possesses a copy of the indicated
study.

Validate

You can click the ‘Validate’ icon ( ) at any stage of completing a Section 8(d) Health & Safety
Data Reporting submission. The ‘Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting Validation’ popup window displays when you click the ‘Validate’ icon ( ). The ‘Section 8(d) Health & Safety
Data Reporting Validation’ pop-up window displays a report of all validation errors and warning
messages. During the validation process, the application validates each screen of the Section 8(d)
Health & Safety Data Reporting submission to find missing and invalid data.
Validation Errors: Errors are denoted by an ‘Error’ icon ( ) and can be fixed by clicking the
error link. The links will display the Screen Title Name (e.g., Technical Contact Information) and
the associated error. After you click a link, the main application screen will display the section
where the error occurred so you can easily fix the error. Once you have fixed the error, click the
‘Validate’ icon ( ) again to refresh the ‘Section 8(d) Health & Safety Data Reporting
