US companies, which have manufactured or imported substances identified as high-priority for risk evaluation within the last five years, are required to self-identify themselves to the US EPA. This is required in accordance with the EPA’s rules as these companies must defray some of the costs for administering the risk evaluations. The 20 high-priority chemicals were mentioned in our January newsletter.
The obligation is applicable irrespective of whether companies are already included on preliminary lists. Manufacturers and importers failing to identify themselves are subject to fee obligations. Companies must self-identify no later than on 27 March 2020.
