Right-to-Know Act

INTRODUCTION
When Congress passed the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986
(EPCRA), it created a number of new reporting re-
quirements for companies that handle toxic chemi-
cals and products containing toxic chemicals. If you
supply or distribute such chemicals or products con-
taining them, you may have to meet these require-
ments.
Section 313 of EPCRA requires that certain
manufacturers report annual releases to the environ-
ment of listed toxic chemicals and chemical catego-
ries. Because these manufacturers must know the
toxic chemical composition of the products they use
to be able to calculate releases accurately, EPA re-
quires some suppliers of mixtures or trade name
products containing one or more of the listed section
313 toxic chemicals to notify their customers. This
requirement has been in effect since January 1,
1989.
The purpose of this pamphlet is to explain which
suppliers must notify their customers, who must be
notified, what form the notice must take, and when it
must be sent.
-------
-------
WHO MUST SUPPLY
NOTIFICATION
You are covered by the EPCRA section 313
supplier notification requirements if you own or oper-
ate a facility that meets all of the following criteria:
(1) Your facility is in Standard Industrial Classifi-
cation (SIC) codes 20-39* (see attached list);
and
(2) You manufacture, import, or process a listed
toxic chemical; and
(3) You sell or otherwise distribute a mixture or
trade name product containing the toxic
chemical to either:
• A facility that must report under section
313; or
• A facility that then sells the same mixture
or trade name product to a facility in SIC
codes 20-39.
Note that you may be covered by the supplier
notification rules even if you are not covered by
the section 313 release reporting requirements.
For example, even if you have less than 10 full-time
employees or do not manufacture or process any of
the chemicals in sufficient quantities to trigger the
release reporting requirements, you are still required
to notify certain customers.
* If your company distributes chemical products but
does not fall into the covered SIC codes, you should be
alert to the supplier notification that may accompany
MSDSs of the products you distribute. You should pass
such notices to your industrial customers unchanged.
-------
WHO MUST BE NOTIFIED
For each mixture or trade name product that
contains a listed toxic chemical, you will have to no-
tify all customers in SIC codes 20-39 or distributors
who in turn sell that product to facilities in SIC codes
20-39. Unless you know otherwise, you should as-
sume that the chain of distribution includes facilities
in SIC codes 20-39. (The notification is limited to
SIC 20-39 facilities and their suppliers because only
facilities in those SIC codes are required to report
releases under section 313.)
An example would be if you sold a lacquer con-
taining toluene to distributors who then sell the prod-
uct to other manufacturers. The distributors are not
in SIC codes 20-39, but because they sell the prod-
uct to companies in SIC codes 20-39, they must be
notified so that they may pass the notice along to
their customers, as required.
The language of the supplier notification require-
ments covers mixtures or trade name products that
are sold or otherwise distributed. The "otherwise
distributes" language applies to intra-company trans-
fers. However, if the company has developed an
internal communications procedure that alerts their
other facilities to the presence and content of cov-
ered toxic chemicals in their products, then EPA
would accept this.
-------
WHAT INFORMATION
THE NOTIFICATION
MUST CONTAIN
The notification must include the following
information:
(1) A statement that the mixture or trade name product
contains a toxic chemical or chemicals subject to
the reporting requirements of EPCRA section 313
(40CFR372);
(2) The name of each toxic chemical and the associ-
ated Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry
number of each chemical if applicable. (Chemical
categories do not have CAS numbers, since the
categories can represent several individual chemi-
cals.) ,
(3) The percentage, by weight, of each toxic chemical
(or all toxic chemicals within a listed category) con-
tained in the mixture or trade name product.
For example, if a mixture contains a chemical
(i.e., 12 percent zinc oxide) that is a member of a
reportable toxic chemical category (i.e., zinc com-
pounds), the notification must include that the mix-
ture contains a zinc compound at 12 percent by
weight. Supplying only the weight percent of the
parent metal (zinc) does not fulfill the requirement.
The customer must be told the weight percent of the
entire compound within a listed toxic chemical cate-
gory present in the mixture.
-------
HOW THE
NOTIFICATION
MUST BE MADE
The required notification must be provided at
least annually in writing. Acceptable forms of notice
are, for example, a letter, product labeling, and prod-
uct literature distributed to customers. If you are re-
quired to prepare and distribute a Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mixture under the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Com-
munication Standard, your section 313 notification
must be attached to the MSDS or the MSDS must be
modified to include the required information. (A sam-
ple letter and recommended text for inclusion in an
MSDS appear at the end of this pamphlet.)
You must make it clear to your customers that
any copies or redistribution of the MSDS must in-
clude the section 313 notice. In other words, your
customers should understand their requirement to
include the 313 notification if they give your MSDS to
their customers.
WHEN NOTIFICATION
MUST BE PROVIDED
In general, you must notify each customer
receiving a mixture or trade name product containing
a listed toxic chemical with the first shipment of each
calendar year. You may send the notice with subse-
quent shipments as well, but it is required that you
-------
send it with the first shipment each year. Once cus-
tomers have been provided with an MSDS containing
the section 313 information, you may refer to the
MSDS by a written letter in subsequent years (as
long as the MSDS is current).
If EPA adds chemicals to the section 313 list and
your products contain the newly listed chemicals,
notify your customers with the first shipment made
during the next calendar year following EPA's final
decision to add the chemical to the list. For exam-
ple, if EPA adds chemical ABC to the list in Septem-
ber 1990, you would be required to supply notifica-
tion on chemical ABC beginning with the first ship-
ment in 1991.
You must send a new or revised notice to your
customers if you:
(1) Change a mixture or trade name product by
adding, removing, or changing the percentage
by weight of a listed toxic chemical. Notifica-
tion must accompany the first shipment of the
changed product.
(2) Discover that your previous notification did not
properly identify the toxic chemicals in the
mixture or correctly indicate the percentage by
weight. In these cases, you must:
• Supply a new or revised notification
within 30 days of a change in the product
or the discovery of misidentified toxic
chemical(s) in the mixture or incorrect
percentages by weight; and
• Identify in the notification the prior ship-
ments of the mixture or product in that
calendar year to which the new notifica-
tion applies (e.g., if the notification is
made in August indicate how many ship-
ments were affected during the period
January 1 - August).
-------
WHEN NOTIFICATIONS
ARE NOT REQUIRED
Supplier notification is not required for a "pure"
toxic chemical unless a trade name is used. The
identity of the toxic chemical will be known based on
label information.
You are not required to make a "negative decla-
ration." That is, you are not required to indicate that
a product contains no section 313 toxic chemicals.
If your mixture or trade name product contains
one of the listed toxic chemicals, you are not re-
quired to notify your customers if:
(1) Your mixture or trade name product contains
the toxic chemical in percentages by weight of
less than the following levels (These are
known as de mlnlmis levels):
• 0.1 percent if the chemical is defined as
an "OSHA carcinogen";
• 1 percent for other listed toxic chemicals.
De minimis levels for each toxic chemical and
chemical category are listed on pages 10-20.
(2) Your mixture or a trade name product is one of
the following:
• An article that does not release a cov-
ered toxic chemical to the environment
under normal conditions of processing or
use.
• Foods, drugs, cosmetics, pesticides, al-
coholic beverages, tobacco, or tobacco
-------
products packaged for distribution to the
general public.
• Any consumer product, as the term is de-
fined in the Consumer Product Safety
Act, packaged for distribution to the gen-
eral public. For example, if you mix or
package one gallon cans of paint de-
signed for use by the general public, you
would not have to supply notification.
(3) Your mixture or trade name product is con-
tained in a waste being sent off-site for treat-
ment or disposal.
Examples
A mixture or trade name product that you sell for
industrial use contains 0.5 percent by weight of 2-
ethoxy ethanol. No notification is required because
your product contains less than one percent by
weight of this toxic chemical. However, if the same
mixture contains 0.5 percent vinyl chloride, you must
notify your customers because vinyl chloride is con-
sidered to be a carcinogen under OSHA with a de
minimis level of 0.1 percent.
A maintenance-free battery that you manufacture
contains sulfuric acid, a listed toxic chemical. The
battery is an article. During normal use of the bat-
tery, a release of the toxic chemical (sulfuric acid) is
not expected. Therefore, as a battery manufacturer
and supplier, you would not be expected to send a
supplier notification under section 313 to purchasers
of the battery.
-------
TRADE SECRETS
Chemical suppliers may consider the chemical
name or the specific concentration of a section 313
toxic chemical in a mixture or trade name product to
be a trade secret. If you consider the:
(1) Specific identity of a toxic chemical to be a
trade secret, the notice must contain a generic
chemical name that is descriptive of the struc-
ture of that toxic chemical. For example,
decabromodiphenyl oxide could be described
as a halogenated aromatic.
(2) Specific percentage by weight of a toxic
chemical in the mixture or trade name product
to be a.trade secret, your notice must contain
a statement that the toxic chemical is present
at a concentration that does not exceed a
specified upper bound. For example, if a mix-
ture contains 12 percent toluene and you con-
sider the percentage a trade secret, the notifi-
cation may state that the mixture contains tolu-
ene at no more than 15 percent by weight.
The upper bound value chosen must be no
larger than necessary to adequately protect
the trade secret. *
If you claim certain information to be trade se-
cret, you must have documentation in your files that
provides the basis for your claim.
-------
RECORDKEEPING
REQUIREMENTS
You are required to keep records for three
years of the following:
(1) Notifications sent to recipients;
(2) Explanations of why a notification was considered
necessary and all supporting materials used to
develop the notice;
(3) Explanations of why a specific chemical identity is
considered a trade secret and the appropriateness
of the generic chemical name provided in the noti-
fication; and
(4) Explanations of why a specific concentration is
considered a trade secret and the basis for the up-
per bound concentration limit.
This information must be readily available for inspection
by EPA.
