Handbook of Chemical-Specific Information for SARA Section 313 Form R Reporting

The NCASI Handbook of Chemical-Specific Information for SARA Section 313 Form R Reporting (SARA Handbook) is maintained to assist Member Company personnel with responsibility for preparing SARA Section 313 Form R reports, which are due annually on July 1. It includes summaries of applicable EPA regulations, relevant NCASI Corporate Correspondent Memoranda, and chemical-specific information sheets for compounds that may be subject to Section 313 reporting requirements at pulp and paper mills, wood products facilities, and recycling and non-integrated mills.

Handbook of Chemical-Specific Information for the TSCA Chemical Data Reporting

EPA’s TSCA program requires manufactures to report the production of certain products on a four-year cycle.  While cellulose is exempt from reporting, 16 other substances derived from pulp and paper manufacture may be reportable.

NCASI has published a handbook and other materials that are invaluable resources for facilities required to report under this program. The NCASI Handbook of Chemical-Specific Information for the TSCA Chemical Data Reporting (TSCA CDR Handbook) was prepared by NCASI to assist member companies that operate pulp and paper mills or wood products plants in meeting their periodic reporting obligations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8(a) Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Rule.
