Recordkeeping requirements

Records relevant to reporting are required to be kept for five years from the last day of the lUR submission period. EPA encourages submitters to keep such records for a longer period as a useful reference for succeeding reporting periods. EPA advises that required records include those that show the production volume, plant site, and site-limited status of each substance reported. further suggests that if a substance is not reported because its site-specific aimual production is less than twenty-five thousand pounds, records should be kept to substantiate that production level.  

Corrections can be made to the lUR in a letter, mailed to the EPA, containing only the incorrect and the correct information. The entire submission form does not have to be resubmitted. For identification, the letter should include (1) the EPA Report Number, if it has been received, or the company number developed using the efUR software, or if neither of these numbers are available, state that in the letter and, (2) exactly as written in the original submission, the company name, site name and address, and chemical name and 

OSHA requires employers retain written information regarding medical evaluations, fit testing, and the respirator plan effectiveness. Maintaining this information promotes greater employee involvement and provides compliance documentation. Employers must retain a record for each employee subject to medical evaluation. This record includes results of the medical questionnaire and, if applicable, a copy of the health-care professional s written opinion. Maintain records related to recommendations, including the results of relevant examinations and tests. Records of medical evaluations must be retained as required by 29 CFR 1910.1020, Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records. Retain fit-test records on users until administration of the next test.

Conversely, used oil that meets all specification levels, which is known as on-specification used oil, is not subject to any restrictions when burned for energy recovery. In fact, on-specification used oil is comparable to product fuel in terms of regulation. Once the specification determination is made, and certain recordkeeping requirements are complied with, the on-specification used oil is no longer subject to used oil management standards.

Other companies have developed various types of computerized systems to achieve similar objectives. It should be pointed out here that the COHESS project was started in Diamond Shamrock in 1973, three years before TSCA became law. Thus, it is difficult to say that it was developed in response to TSCA. It does, however, respond to many of the recordkeeping requirements in TSCA.

Recordkeeping for the use of licensed drugs is a routine part of medical care of deployed troops. By contrast, recordkeeping requirements for IND use are substantial. Failure to comply with FDA requirements for keeping adequate records characterized the use of INDs in the Gulf War, as it did in the use of the tick-home encephalitis vaccine in Bosnia. 

The FDA does not specify training documentation/recordkeeping requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations, but it has made them an industry requirement by virtue of precedent-setting industry demands.

Any person who takes advantage of the R D exemption must retain records showing that the exemption applies. These recordkeeping requirements should be followed carefully because the EPA can audit manufacturers and importers to evaluate compliance for five years after the R D is complete. 

C.RR. 723.50(n). These recordkeeping requirements were inadvertently dropped out of the rules in a technical correction made by the EPA at 60 Fed. Reg. 34462 (July 3, 1995). They were reinstated by the EPA four years later at 64 Fed. Reg. 31987 (June 15,1999). It is unclear whether or not a manufacturer who relied on the first technical correction and did not maintain records during the four year gap period could be found in violation of the now reinstated recordkeeping requirements. The prudent course would be for any manufacturer in that situation to attempt, to the extent possible, to reassemble that documentation for the information submitted in the apphcation and for information submitted subsequent to the... 

PMN review period to expire before they can distribute the film in commerce. The substance is not added to the Inventory and a new PMN is required if any person plans on making or importing the substance for any purpose outside the scope of the exemption.

Fed. Reg. 38178, 38181 (Aug. 22, 1983). The initial 1983 rulemaking contains this and other useful hypothetical illustrations illustrating TSCA 8(c) recordkeeping requirements. 

C.ER. 717.15(a). EPA said in 1984 that keeping 8(c) records in a computerized database does not satisfy recordkeeping requirements, and the original or microfiche copy must be retained. 1984 8(c) QA, 16. However, the statement that a microfiche copy is acceptable appears to open the possibility of retaining a scanned copy on a compnter system in lieu of keeping paper copies or originals.
