Update Regarding Court Decision on TSCA Active/Inactive Inventory Rule
On April 26, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ordered a limited remand without vacatur of the TSCA Inventory Notification (Active-Inactive) Requirements rule at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory/tsca-inventory-notification-active-inactive-rule
for EPA to address an issue pertaining to how companies are to substantiate claims that a chemical substance's specific chemical identity is protected from disclosure as confidential business information. Specifically, the Court ordered EPA to address substantiation questions regarding reverse engineering applicable to persons claiming a specific chemical identity as CBI. A copy of the court's decision is available here:
