Reviewing New Chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

Questions & Answers for the New Chemicals Program under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

This Questions & Answers document for the New Chemicals Program is intended only to explain the requirements of TSCA section 5 and selected EPA regulations implementing section 5, and to provide useful information to persons subject to these requirements. It is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements, nor is it a regulation itself. Thus, it does not impose legally-binding requirements on any party, including EPA or the regulated community.
