Abstract:
This ICR estimates the incremental burden of the proposed changes for a proposed rule titled Addition of Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) that is not already included in the currently approved ICR “Chemical Release Reporting,” which covers the current 40 CFR part 372. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a proposed rule under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) concerning the addition of natural gas processing (NGP) facilities to the scope of the industrial sectors covered by the reporting requirements of TRI. Under the section 313 reporting requirements, a facility must report chemical quantities to TRI if it meets all of the following three criteria: 1. It is in a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code covered by the regulations; 2. It has ten or more full-time employees (or the hourly equivalent of 20,000 hours); and 3. It manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses any of the listed toxic chemicals or chemical categories above the applicable reporting threshold. The proposed rule extends reporting requirements to establishments primarily engaged in the recovery of liquid hydrocarbons from oil and gas field gases and maintains the existing reporting requirement for establishments primarily engaged in sulfur recovery from natural gas to submit TRI reporting forms on chemicals for which they trigger TRI reporting.
