Title: Facility Coverage Amendment; Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Community Right-To-Know
Abstract: The original Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) required reporting from facilities in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20-39. These SIC codes cover manufacturing facilities only. This requirement was imposed under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313(b)(1)(A). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering expanding this original list. EPCRA section 313(b)(1)(B) and (b)(2) provide the Administrator with the authority to add or delete SIC codes and the discretion to add particular facilities based on a broad set of factors. EPA is currently conducting analysis to determine which SIC codes (or portions thereof) should be considered for coverage in TRI. Facilities in a broad set of industries are under consideration, including but not limited to, electric utilities, waste management facilities, mining, oil and gas production, materials recovery and recycling, and some warehousing activities.
