II. Test Data Submissions
Section 4(d) of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2603(d)) requires EPA to publish a notice in the Federal Register reporting the receipt of test data submitted pursuant to test rules promulgated under TSCA section 4(a) (15 U.S.C. 2603(a)). Each notice must:
1. Identify the chemical substance or mixture for which data have been received.
[top] 2. List the uses or intended uses of such chemical substance or mixture and the information required by the applicable standards for the development of test data.
3. Describe the nature of the test data developed.
EPA has received test data for the following three test rules:
• EPA received data on 4 chemicals listed in the TSCA section 4 test rule entitled "Testing for Certain High Production Volume Chemicals," published in the Federal Register issue of March 16, 2006 (71 FR 13708) (FRL-7335-2) (docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0033).
• EPA received data on 12 chemicals listed in the TSCA section 4 test rule entitled "Testing for Certain High Production Volume Chemicals; Second Group of Chemicals" published in the Federal Register issue of January 7, 2011 (76 FR 1067) (FRL-8846-9) (docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0531).
• EPA received data on 5 chemicals listed in the TSCA section 4 test rule entitled "Testing for Certain High Production Volume Chemicals; Third Group of Chemicals," published in the Federal Register issue of October 21, 2011 (76 FR 65385) (FRL-8885-5) (docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0112).
The tables in this unit contain the described information required by TSCA section 4(d). See the applicable CFR citations, listed in the title of each table, for test data requirements. Data received can be found by referencing the docket ID numbers and document numbers listed in the tables. See Unit I.B. of this document for additional information about dockets. EPA reviews of test data are added to the appropriate docket upon completion.
