TSCA section 4 authorities allow EPA to require the development of information related to chemicals and the use of prescribed “protocols and methodologies” in order to inform EPA and other federal agencies about chemical risks, which in turn will inform decision makers for purposes of prioritization for risk evaluation, risk evaluation and risk management of those chemicals as necessary.” 

Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Vulnerability Assessments. CISA 60-day ICR renewal. Summary: “The information will be voluntarily provided by the organizations to Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Protective Security Advisors and Cybersecurity Security Advisors. The Protective Security Advisors and Cybersecurity Advisors will then visit the site and perform the assessment, as requested. They then return to complete the vulnerability assessment and input the data into the system where the data is then accessible by the system users. Once available, the organization and other relevant system users can then review the data and use it for planning, risk identification, mitigation, and decision making.”
