See attached file(s) The American Petroleum Institute (API) respectfully submits the following comments on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) proposed rule on Confidential Business Information (CBI) claims under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). API represents all segments of America's oil and natural gas industry. Our nearly 600 members produce, process, and distribute most of the nation's energy. The industry supports more than ten million U.S. jobs and accounts for approximately 8 percent of our nation's economy. API's members are involved in all significant points of the chemical supply chain—from oil and natural gas production to refining production of fuels and other products that service chemical companies. Our members are affected by EPA's activities under TSCA, both directly as companies subject to regulation and indirectly as customers of regulated companies. They submit information under TSCA, including but not limited to premanufacture notices (PMNs), notices of commencement (NOCs), chemical data reporting (CDR) forms, data under testing rules and orders, and section 8(e) notices.

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.
