Who is required to report for chemical data reporting (CDR)?

Except as provided at 40 CFR 711.9 and 711.10, the persons subject to the CDR requirements include:

• Any person who manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes 25,000 pounds (11,340 kilograms) or more of a chemical substance described in 711.5 at any single site owned or controlled by that person during any calendar year since the last principal reporting year; or
• Any person who manufactured (including imported) for commercial purposes 2,500 pounds (1,134 kg) or more of a chemical substance that’s subject to certain Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) actions at any single site owned or controlled by that person during any calendar year since the last principal reporting year. The TSCA actions include:
  • A rule proposed or promulgated under TSCA section 5(a)(2), 5(b)(4), or 6;
  • An order in effect under TSCA section 4, 5(e), or 5(f); or
  • Relief that has been granted under a civil action under TSCA sections 5 or 7.

Persons must make a reporting determination for each chemical substance that they manufacture (including import) at an individual site. For the next submission period in 2024, manufacturers (including importers) will determine their need to report based on production volumes from 2020 to 2023.
