TSCA Quick Links

This Cross-Reference Table allows you to access on the Internet: the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) law, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40 “Protection of the Environment,” Sections 700 - 799 for TSCA regulations and numerous EPA guidances documents. These TSCA Quick Links should help you locate information much more easily than guessing how to search the government sites.

The last two columns refer to information provided in the link-filled TSCA Guide for Manufacturers Who Use Chemicals by Georjean L. Adams. This guide offers both a simple explanation of the requirements of TSCA, as well as practical commentaries and templates to help you comply. The TSCA Guide is written for small and medium size chemical companies and other companies who make and use chemicals, but do not consider themselves "chemical companies." Order the Guide.
