        <RULE_TITLE>Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Articles Exemption Clarification Rule</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting is required by section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act. The purpose of this rule is to clarify the scope of the exemption from TRI reporting requirements for items that qualify as articles. [See 40 CFR 372.38(b).] EPA believes that language contained in the regulation and subsequent guidance should be clarified for the regulated community concerning what items qualify as articles and are therefore exempt from TRI threshold determinations and TRI release and other waste management calculations and reporting.]]></ABSTRACT>
