1IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION1(a) Title of the Information CollectionTITLE:Toxic Chemical Release Reporting, Recordkeeping, SupplierNotification and Petitions under Section 313 of the EmergencyPlanning and Community Right-to-Know ActEPA ICR No.:1363.13OMB Control No.:2070-00931(b) Short Characterization
This Information Collection Request (ICR) is for the information collection requirements for toxicchemical release reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (42 U.S.C. 11001 et seq.) and the information collection in section 6607of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) (42 U.S.C. 11071 to 11079). In short, EPCRA §313requires certain owners or operators of certain facilities (i.e., currently manufacturing facilities inStandard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39, and facilities in SIC codes 10(except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 4911, 4931, 4939 (limited to facilities thatcombust coal and /or oil for the purpose of generating power), 4953 (limited to facilities regulatedunder the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. section 6921 et. seq.),5169, 5171, 7389 (limited to facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contractor fee basis)) manufacturing, processing, or otherwise using any of over 600 listed toxic chemicalsand chemical categories (hereafter “toxic chemicals”) in excess of the applicable thresholdquantities to report on their environmental releases and transfers of and waste managementactivities for such chemicals annually. Under section 6607 of the PPA, facilities must provideinformation on the quantities of the toxic chemicals in waste streams and the efforts made toreduce or eliminate those quantities.Currently, facilities subject to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements mayeither use the EPA Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Form R (EPA Form #9350-1), or the EPAToxic Chemical Release Inventory Form A Certification Statement (EPA Form #9350-2), whichis approved under OMB Number 2070-0143. The Form R must be completed if a facilitymanufactures, processes, or otherwise uses any listed chemical above threshold quantities. For the Form A Certification Statement, EPA established an alternate threshold for those facilitieswith low annual reportable amounts of a listed toxic chemical. A facility that meets theappropriate reporting thresholds, but estimates that the total annual reportable amount of thechemical does not exceed 500 pounds per year, can take advantage of an alternate manufacture, process, or otherwise use threshold of 1 million pounds per year for that chemical, provided that
