The American Chemistry Council (ACC) is pleased to submit the attached comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed "Confidential Business Information Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)" rule. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please feel free to contact me at Kat_Gale@americanchemistry.com. Thank you.

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing new and amended rules concerning the assertion and maintenance of claims of business confidentiality for information reported to or otherwise obtained by EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Amendments to TSCA in 2016 included many new provisions concerning the assertion, Agency review, and treatment of confidentiality claims. The proposed rule specifies procedures for submitting such claims in TSCA submissions, such as substantiation requirements, exemptions, electronic reporting enhancements, and maintenance or withdrawal of confidentiality claims. The rule also addresses procedures for reviewing and communicating with TSCA submitters about confidentiality claims.
