View Rule

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program is considering whether to propose to codify a definition of "parent company" for reporting purposes. This proposed rulemaking would clarify existing guidance and provide guidance for facilities owned by public entities, multiple entities, and entities with several layers of ownership. Providing this definition would clarify reporting requirements and increase the quality of TRI data by increasing consistency in the reporting of parent company and improving trend analyses across ownership structures. This action also proposes to add a new data element to the TRI reporting forms, for facilities required to report a foreign parent company.
