Business Integration

After the acquisition is completed, the buyer may want to rationalize its operations to minimize costs. For example, if the buyer will make any changes to the manufacturing processes, either by moving manufacturing lines from one plant to another or by altering existing processes, then the changed or relocated processes need to be carefully reviewed for TSCA compliance. If the newly-acquired product lines use a chemical subject to a SNUR or 5(e) consent order, then facilities to which those product fines are relocated must be able to meet the requirements imposed by the SNUR or 5(e) consent order. 

Depending on the international structure of the acquiring corporation, the acquired business may need to change its practices and search the records of any new foreign parent company when it gathers information in response to a rule under TSCA 8(d) or when it submits prior studies as part of a premanufacture notification under TSCA 5.  

See Chapter 7, Reporting and Recordkeeping and Chapter 4, Premanufacture Notifications. See also, EPA, TSCA Questions and Answers from the October, 1990 EPA-Industry Living with TSCA Workshop, question 39 (Oct. 1992).
