EPA's new proposed rule would require electronic reporting, rather than paper-based reporting, for various information submitted to the agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The agency says the electronic reporting "will increase the speed with which EPA can make information publicly available, increase accuracy, and provide the public with quick and easier access to chemical information."
EPA says the electronic format will pertain to submitting information relating to chemical testing, and safety and health reporting. If the rule is finalized, the agency says it will only accept data and reports that are submitted through its Central Data Exchange. For more information, visit EPA's website.
