TSCA Fees Table

The following table provides a list of fees under the final TSCA fees rule. Consistent with the formula in the proposed rule, in any scenario where there is not a single consortium comprised of all manufacturers subject to a single fee, EPA will take the following steps to allocate fees:

  • Count the total number of manufacturers, including the number of manufacturers within any consortia.
  • Divide the total fee amount by the total number of manufacturers, and allocate equally on a per capita basis to generate a base fee.
  • Provide all small businesses who are either (a) not associated with a consortium, or (b) associated with an all-small business consortium with an 80% discount from the base fee referenced previously.
  • Calculate the total remaining fee and total number of remaining manufacturers by subtracting out the discounted fees and the number of small businesses identified.
  • Reallocate the remaining fee across those remaining individuals and groups in equal amounts, counting each manufacturer in a consortium as one person.

Note that EPA is providing an approximately 80% reduction in TSCA administration fees to submitters who qualify as small businesses as shown below. Small business fees are only applicable to qualifying small businesses who are either not associated with a consortium or associated with an all-small business consortium.
