API supports EPA's activities to implement TSCA modernization under the provisions of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, including the implementation of fees to support the Agency's activities. Below API offers comments on portions of the supplemental revisions to the proposed rule and emphasizes important considerations that we ask EPA to incorporate in the final rule: •API supports the exemptions in the original proposal and opposes the proposed modifications to them. •Include additional exemptions to align with other TSCA requirements. •EPA should establish a de minimis level for imported mixtures. •API supports the supplemental proposal to extend the timeframe for test order and test rule payments. •The proposed large increase from current fees is unjustifiable, and the EPA's processes need an overhaul API supports the exemptions in the original proposal and opposes the proposed modifications to them.

Abstract
In accordance with section 26(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA or the Act), EPA is proposing updates and adjustments to the fees established under that section. EPA is required under TSCA section 26(b)(4)(F) to review and, if necessary, adjust the fees every three years. This proposed rulemaking describes the proposed modifications to TSCA fees and fee categories for fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024, and explains the methodology by which these TSCA fees were determined.
