Guidance for Creating Generic Names for Confidential Chemical Substance Identity Reporting under TSCA
On this page you will find guidance for creating generic names for chemical substances whose specific chemical identities are claimed as confidential in Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) notices. This guidance will allow EPA to share more information with the public about the structure of chemical substances while protecting the confidential elements of the substance’s specific chemical identity. TSCA submitters claiming the specific chemical identity of a chemical substance as confidential business information are required to supply a structurally descriptive generic name that can be disclosed to the public.
