EPA Plans More Guidance To Address Concerns Over Chemical Data Rule

摘要

Epa officials are preparing additional guidance for companies subject to its new Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule, which the officials say will address industry concerns with how to report data on byproducts and other compounds and should be completed by the time the submission period begins Feb. 1. During a Jan. 19 workshop hosted by the law firm Bergeson & Campbell, Susan Sharkey, of the chemical controls division within EPA's toxics office, said the agency "anticipates having it up in time for the beginning of the submission period." The new guidance will cover lingering issues concerning how to report the extraction of substances from byproducts, byproducts themselves, soluble metal compounds and mixtures, Sharkey said.
