    Section 8 (c) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 
manufacturers, processors, and distributors of chemical substances and 
mixtures:
    (a) To keep ``records of significant adverse reactions to health or 
the environment, as determined by the Administrator by rule, alleged to 
have been caused by the substance or mixture.''
    (b) To ``permit inspection and submit copies of such records'', upon 
request of any designated representative of the Administrator. This rule 
implements section 8(c) of TSCA. It describes the records to be kept and 
prescribes the conditions under which certain firms must submit or make 
the records available to a duly designated representative of the 
Administrator.
