Monitoring watches the rules behind your register. When one moves, Foresight rechecks the substances it affects, and your expert reviews the change.

Monitoring

Illustrative project

Watching 4 measures behind the register

  • US TSCA section 8(a)(7) PFAS rule

    EPA set the start of reporting to 31 January 2027, or 60 days after its revised rule if earlier. Rechecked, still to report.

    Status: To review
  • Chemical Data Reporting, 40 CFR part 711

  • Proposed section 6 rule for NMP

  • TSCA Inventory, active and inactive listings

What we need from you

Four things, shared at setup before the project starts.

  1. Your substances

    What you make in or import into the US, with CAS numbers and uses.

  2. Your volumes

    Yearly volumes for each US site: from 2011 for anything fluorinated, since the PFAS rule covers every year from 2011 to 2022, and from 2024 for CDR.

  3. Your priorities

    What’s most urgent for you, such as a reporting window or a planned first import.

  4. Your approver

    The person who agrees the checks and approves the register.

What teams ask about this project

How do you decide which CDR threshold applies?

From each substance’s TSCA status. CDR’s threshold is 25,000 lb a year at a site, or 2,500 lb for a substance that is the subject of a proposed or final section 6 rule, a SNUR or certain orders. EPA reads that status on the first day of the submission period, 1 June 2028, so Foresight records each substance’s rules as they stand and watches for changes.

Can’t we just check the TSCA Inventory ourselves?

You can, and the download is a good start: it shows whether each substance is active or inactive. Its regulatory flags lag, though. In EPA’s July 2026 Inventory, NMP carries no section 6 flag, although EPA proposed a section 6 rule for it in June 2024, and that rule lowers its CDR threshold to 2,500 lb. Foresight checks each substance against the rules themselves.

Where does the evidence come from?

From the rules themselves: the Code of Federal Regulations, the Federal Register, and EPA’s own guidance and Inventory files. Every status links to its source, so your team can check the wording directly.

Who checks the register before we use it?

The person you name. They agree the substances and checks first, and check each status against its sources at the end. Nothing is final until they approve it. These checks reduce the risk of error without removing it.

What happens when a rule changes?

Foresight rechecks the substances it affects, such as when EPA revises its PFAS rule or finalises a section 6 rule. The register your expert approved stays as it is until they accept the change.

What does it cost?

The price follows how many substances, sites and years the register covers. You see it with the scope, before any checking starts.
