additions. As indicated above, this information will also inform TSCA
activities such as future prioritization efforts and, with potential read-across data, new chemical reviews. Further, EPA will coordinate with ITC members to share information received, as appropriate e.g., to help inform CPSCs evaluation of specific chemicals.
E. What are the incremental economic implications of this action?
EPA prepared an economic analysis for the addition of the 50 chemical substances to the TSCA section 8d Health and Safety Data Reporting rule, entitled, TSCA Section 8d: Economic Impact Analysis for Adding 50
Chemicals from the 74th ITC Report of the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee to the Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. Economic Analysis, Ref. 7 a copy of which is included in the docket for this rulemaking. The total one-time cost associated with this final rule is estimated to be approximately $185,000 based on approximately 1,900
and 420 hours of industry and EPA
burden, respectively.
