On November 25, 2020, EPA announced the amendment of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) regulations by extending the submission deadline for 2020 reports. CDR submissions are now due on January 29, 2021. According to EPA, this is the final extension, and it only applies to 2020 submissions. CDR regulations require manufacturers of certain chemical substances included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory to report data on the manufacturing, processing, and use of chemical substances.

To assist chemical manufacturers and processors with submitting CDR data, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.’s (B&C^®) affiliate The Acta Group (Acta^®) developed CDR Cross-Check^™, an ingenious and cost-efficient tool to identify whether a company’s chemicals are subject to CDR and at what reporting threshold. CDR Cross-Check will identify:

• Whether the chemical is listed as active or inactive;

• Whether the chemical was subject to specific TSCA regulatory actions in 2016;

• Whether the chemical is exempt; and

• What the reporting thresholds are based on the updated data released by EPA on May 29, 2020.

Visit the CDR Cross-Check page on the Acta website for a sample report and information on how to use CDR Cross-Check.
