Abstract:
This ICR addresses the paperwork requirements in a final rule titled Parent Company Definition for TRI Reporting 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 rule under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) that codifies reporting the highest-level U.S.-based parent company and adds a new data element to Part I, Section 5 for reporting the name of a foreign company in addition to reporting the largest U.S.-based parent company. An economic analysis (EA) provides estimations of the burden and costs associated with the reporting requirements and can be found in the rulemaking docket.
