Description: Section 8 (b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to compile, keep current and publish a list of each chemical substance that is manufactured or processed, including imports, in the United States for uses under TSCA. Information about what types of substances are on the TSCA inventory can be found here. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, requires EPA to designate chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory as either “active” or “inactive” in U.S. commerce. To accomplish this, EPA finalized a rule requiring industry reporting of chemicals manufactured (including imported) or processed in the U.S.. This reporting is used to identify which chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory are active in U.S. commerce and help inform the prioritization of chemicals for risk evaluation. The list contained in the dashboard includes the active TSCA inventory based on notifications through Feb. 7th 2018 and substances reported from Feb 8, 2018 – March 30, 2018 that have been unambiguously mapped to DSSTox using CASRN and chemical names. The curation of the non-confidential portion of active TSCA inventory is an ongoing process involving trained chemists to validate the correctness of DSSTox structural and identifier data. The content of the list will change over time as the non-confidential active TSCA inventory is updated and more substances are curated. (Updated March 20th 2020)
