710.55—Duplicative reporting.

(a) With regard to Any person subject to the requirements of this part who previously has complied with reporting requirements of a rule under section 8(a) of the Act by submitting the information described in § 710.52 for a chemical substance described in § 710.45 to EPA, and has done so within 1 year of the start of a submission period described in § 710.53, is not required to report again on the manufacture of that substance at that site during that submission period.
(b) With regard to importers. This part requires that only one report be submitted on each import transaction involving a chemical substance described in § 710.45. When two or more persons are involved in a particular import transaction and each person meets the Agency's definition of “importer” as set forth in §§ 710.3 and 704.3 of this chapter, they may determine among themselves who should submit the required report; if no report is submitted as required under this part, EPA will hold each such person liable for failure to report.
