Printed on Recycled Paper
-------
I his brochure contains information about the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. This law estab-
lishes a structure at the state and local levels to assist communi-
ties in planning for chemical emergencies and requires facilities
to provide information on various chemicals present in the com-
munity. The Act requires that this information be made available
to the public. One of the requirements concerns the reporting
of annual releases of toxic chemicals to the air, water, and land.
These provisions are outlined in Section 313 which mandates
annual release reporting for over 300 chemicals. Other reporting
requirements are included elsewhere in the Act. This booklet
deals with Section 313.
It is important that you read this information to see if you
are subject to Section 313 reporting requirements. The first
reports under this Section, covering the 1987 calendar year,
were due by July 1, 1988. Reports for subsequent calendar
years are due the following July 1. EPA is responsible for ad-
ministering this Section and developing a database that will
make information in the reports available to the public.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act is important in providing to the public information about
chemicals in the community. I look forward to working with you
to make its implementation a success.

THE EMERGENCY
PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
RIGHT-TO-KNOW
ACT
EPA has prepared this brochure to alert
businesses to their reporting obligations under Sec-
tion 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community
Right- to-Know Act*, and to help you determine
whether your facility is covered under the law. If
you are covered, this brochure will also help you
prepare to meet your reporting obligations. If you
are uncertain whether you are covered, it will tell
you how to get assistance.
This brochure deals with reporting requirements
of only one section of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act: Section 313, which
pertains to release reporting. Other planning and
reporting requirements may also affect your busi-
ness. The nearest EPA regional office can provide
complete details, but the other basic requirements
of the Act are as follows:
Facilities that have on their premises chemi-
cals designated under the Act as "extremely
hazardous substances" must cooperate with
state and local planning officials in preparing
comprehensive emergency plans (Sections
302 and 303);
•
Facilities must report accidental releases of
"extremely hazardous substances" and
CERCLA "hazardous substances" to state
and local response officials (Section 304);
and
* The Act Is also known as Title III of SARA (the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986).
-------
Facilities must make Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs) available to local and state
officials and must also report, to local and
state officials, inventories (Including loca-
tions) of chemicals on their premises for
which MSDSs exist (Sections 311 and 312).
For more information on the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to Know Act, ask your
regional EPA office for the Title III Fact Sheet; or call
the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Information Hotline, (800) 535-0202 or (202)
479-2449 (in Washington, D.C. and Alaska).
REPORT TOXIC
CHEMICAL RELEASES
Under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning
and Community Right-to-Know Act, certain busi-
nesses are required to submit reports each year on
the amounts of chemicals their facilities release into
the environment, either routinely or as a result of
accidents. The purpose of this reporting require-
ment is to inform government officials and the public
about releases of toxic chemicals into the environ-
ment. Section 313 requires facilities to report re-
leases to air, water, and land. The reports must be
sent to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and to designated state agencies.
Reports are due by July 1 each year. Those who
fail to report as required are subject to civil penal-
ties of up to $25,000 a day.
The final Toxic Chemical Release Inventory rule
under Section 313 was published in the Federal
Register on February 16,1988.
-------
WHO MUST REPORT
A plant, factory, or other facility comes under
the provisions of Section 313 if it meets ajl three of
the following criteria:
If it conducts manufacturing operations (that
is, if it Is Included in Standard Industrial Classi-
fication (SIC) codes 20 through 39, listed on
page 9);
•
If, in addition, It has 1 0 or more full-time em-
ployees; and
If, In addition to the above, It manufactures,
Imports, processes, or in any other way uses
any of the toxic chemicals listed on pages
15-22 In amounts greater than the 'thresh-
old" quantities specified below. At present,
307 Individual chemicals and 20 categories of
chemicals are covered. The list may be
changed In future years.
THRESHOLDS
Thresholds are amounts of chemicals used
during the calendar year that trigger reporting
requirements.
If you manufacture or process any of the listed
toxic chemicals, the threshold quantity will be:
• 75,000 pounds In 1987;
• 50,000 pounds In 1988; and
• 25,000 pounds In 1989 and subsequent
years.
If you use any listed chemical in any other way
(without incorporating it into any product or produc-
ing it at the facility), the threshold quantity is:
• 10,000 pounds in 1987 and subsequent
years.
-------
What is meant by the terms "manufacture,"
"process," or "otherwise use"?
• Manufacture - means to produce, prepare,
import or compound one of the chemicals on
the list. For example, if you make a dye for
clothing by taking raw materials and reacting
them, you are manufacturing the dye. You
would also be covered if you were a textile
manufacturer who imported a dye on the list for
purposes of applying it to fabric produced at
your plant.
• Process - in general, includes making mix-
tures, repackaging, or using a chemical as a
feed- stock, raw material, or starting material
for making another chemical. Processing also
includes incorporating a chemical into an arti-
cle (e.g., using dyes to color fabric [the fabric is
the article that the dye is being incorporated
into]).
Examples of processing include:
n Adding a solvent as a diluent when mak-
ing a paint, coating, or other mixture;
° Using a chemical as an intermediate in
the manufacture of a pesticide (e.g., us-
ing chemical A to make chemical B).
• Otherwise Use - applies to any use of a toxic
chemical at a covered facility that is not cov-
ered by the terms "manufacture" or "process"
and includes use of a toxic chemical contained
in a mixture or trade name product. A chemical
that is used by a facility is not intentionally in-
corporated into a product distributed in com-
merce.
Examples include:
° Using a metal cutting fluid that contains
diethanolamine;
° Using a heat transfer fluid containing
biphenyl;
a Using trichloroethylene to degrease
tools;
° Using chlorine in waste water treatment;
a Using Freon 113 as a refrigerant to cool
process streams.
-------
Section 313 defines a "facility" as all buildings,
equipment, structures, and other stationary items
which are located on a single site or on contiguous
or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated
by the same person. Warehouses on the same site
as covered facilities are covered at the threshold
levels given above. Stand-alone warehouses that
do not support a manufacturing operation are not
currently covered.
The reporting thresholds apply to toxic chemi-
cals known by the owner or operator to be used in
amounts above the thresholds. Beginning in 1989,
Section 313 will require suppliers of mixtures and
trade name products to notify customers of the pres-
ence of Section 313 listed chemicals in their prod-
ucts beyond certain de minimis concentrations
(these cutoffs are discussed under "Exemptions").
EXEMPTIONS
Under certain circumstances, some or all of
the reporting requirements under Section 313 may
not apply to a facility. The following are the major
exemptions:
De mlnimls concentrations of a toxic chemical in
certain mixtures. In determining whether the amount of a
toxic chemical used at your facility exceeds the reporting
threshold listed on page 3, you are not required to count
the amount of chemical present in a mixture if
Its concentration is less than 1 percent of the
mixture, or
its concentration is less than 0.1 percent of
the mixture when the chemical Is defined by
the Occupational Safety and Health Admini-
stration (OSHA) as carcinogenic; the chemi-
cal list beginning on page 15 identifies these
chemicals.
-------
Articles. In considering whether a reporting thresh-
old has been exceeded, you are not required to count tox-
ic chemicals present in articles processed or used at your
facility. "Article" means a manufactured item: (1) which
is formed to a specific shape or design during manufac-
ture; (2) which has end use functions dependent in whole
or in part upon its shape or design during end use; and (3)
which does not release a toxic chemical under normal
conditions of processing or use of that item at the facility
or establishments.
Specified Uses. In considering whether a reporting
threshold has been exceeded, you are not required to
count toxic chemicals that are used at your facility for any
of the following purposes:
As a structural component of the facility;
In routine janitorial or facility grounds mainte-
nance;
In foods, drugs, cosmetics, or other items for
personal use, including supplies of such
Items (for example, In a facility-operated
cafeteria);
In motor vehicle maintenance (including mo-
tor fuel); or
In process water and non-contact cooling
water as drawn from the environment or from
municipal sources, or In air used either as
compressed air or as part of combustion.
-------
Laboratories. In considering whether a reporting
threshold has been exceeded, you are not required to
count toxic chemicals that are manufactured, processed,
or used for research or quality control in a laboratory at a
covered facility under the supervision of a technically
qualified individual. This exemption does not apply to
production, processing, or the use of toxic chemicals in
pilot plant scale operations and laboratories for distribu-
tion in commerce.
Owners of Leased Property. The owner of a cov-
ered facility is not subject to reporting under Section 313
if the owner's only interest in the facility is ownership of
the real estate upon which the facility is operated. How-
ever, the operator of the facility must report if the criteria
are met.
-------
HOW TO REPORT
The owner or operator of a covered facility
must report annually. Each report must be submitted
on or before July 1 for activities during the previous
calendar year.
EPA will provide a reporting form (EPA Form R)
with instructions and technical guidance on how to
calculate chemical releases or emissions from your
facility. To obtain the reporting form, instructions,
and technical guidance, write a letter or check the
boxes for those publications on the back cover, de-
tach the cover, and mail it to: Emergency Planning
and Community RighMo-Know Document Distribu-
tion Center, P.O. Box 12505, Cincinnati, OH 45212,
or any of the EPA regional offices listed on pages
13-14.
You are not required to measure or monitor re-
leases for purposes of Section 313 reporting. You
may use readily available data to report the quanti-
ties of chemicals that you use and the amounts re-
leased into the environment. If you have no data
available, the law permits you to report reasonable
estimates. EPA's technical guidance on calculating
releases can help you in making estimates.

WHAT YOU
MUST REPORT
You must report on EPA Form R the following
information for each listed chemical manufactured,
imported, processed, or used at your facility in
yearly amounts which exceed the threshold:
The name and location of your facility;
•
The identity of the listed toxic chemical (un-
less you claim its Identity to be a trade secret):
•
Whether you manufacture, Import, or process
the chemical, or use it In any other way;
•
The maximum quantity of the chemical on-
site at any time during the year;
•
The total quantity of the chemical released
during the year, Including both accidental
spills and routine emissions - separate esti-
mates must be provided for releases to air,
water, and land (e.g., deep well Injection, per-
mitted landfill);
Off-site locations to which you shipped
wastes containing the chemical and the quan-
tities of that chemical sent to those locations;
and
•
Treatment or disposal methods used for
wastes containing the chemical and estimates
of their efficiency for each chemical (effi-
ciency of treatment methods used on-site).
•
For purposes of Section 313, a release is de-
fined as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environ-
ment (including the abandonment or discarding of
barrels, containers, and other closed receptacles) of
any "toxic chemical" (i.e., any of the chemicals on
pages 15-22).

-------
PUBLIC ACCESS
TO REPORTS
The law requires facilities covered by Section
313 to send toxic chemical release reports both to
EPA and to the state in which the facility is located.
At EPA, the Office of Toxic Substances will be re-
sponsible for receiving and processing the data.
The agency designated to receive reports in your
state is listed in the instructions for Form R.
EPA is required by law to make the data in the
reports available to the public through a computer
database. (You can claim the chemical identity to
be a trade secret, but you must justify the claim to
EPA. The final Trade Secret rule was published in
the Federal Register on July 29,1988.) The data-
base is intended to help answer citizens' questions
about chemical releases in their community. The
users of the data are also likely to include research-
ers from government or universities conducting envi-
ronmental analyses. EPA expects to use the data in
a variety of ways, including targeting problem pollu-
tion areas and as a screening tool for developing
standards and regulations.
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
You can begin planning now to make
compliance with Section 313 as easy and inexpen-
sive as possible. The steps are as follows:
(33 If you have 10 or more full-time employees
(that is, if the total annual hours worked by all
employees is at least 20,000 hours), check
the SIC code list on page 9 to determine
whether your facility is covered.
11
-------
Check the list of toxic chemicals covered by
Section 313 (pages 15-22) to see if any are
manufactured, imported, processed, or in any
other way used by your facility. For reporting
year 1988 you must report based on data
available to you. For reporting year 1989 and
subsequent years, your chemical supplier is
required to inform you if any of the Section
313 chemicals is contained in mixtures sold
to you.
Determine whether you handle any chemical
on the list in an amount greater than the
thresholds on page 3.
If you meet the criteria, request copies of the
reporting form, instructions, and any of the
appropriate guidance documents listed at the
back of this brochure.
Begin to develop the appropriate information
to report your releases.
Maintain a recordkeeping system that will
help you estimate releases for future years.
You should designate someone at your facility
to be responsible for reporting under Section 313.
That person should obtain reporting forms and in-
structions and should be aware of the reporting
deadline: July 1 of each year.
The reporting forms and instructions can be ob-
tained by mailing in the order form on the inside
back cover or by calling one of the EPA regional
offices listed on pages 13-14.
