Notification
Requirements
Under Section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and
Community
Right-to-Know Act
-------
INTRODUCTION
When Congress passed the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986
(EPCRA), it created a number of new reporting require-
ments for companies that handle toxic chemicals and
products containing toxic chemicals. If you supply or
distribute such chemicals or products containing
them, you may have to meet these requirements.
Section 313 and 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 prod-
ucts containing one or more of the listed section 313
chemicals to notify their customers.
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 Title III supplier notifica-
tion requirements if you own or operate a facility or
establishment which meets all of the following criteria:
(1) Your facility is in Standard Industrial Classifica-
tion (SIC) codes 20-39* (see attached list); and
(2) You manufacture, import, or process a listed
chemical; and
(3) You sell or distribute a mixture or trade name
product containing the toxic chemical to either:
• A facility that must report under section
313; or
• A firm that then sells the same mixture or
trade name product to a firm in SIC codes
20-39.
, Note that you may be covered by the supplier no-
tification rules even if you are not covered by the sec-
lion 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
• or each mixture or trade name product that con
tains a listed chemical, you will have to notify each
customer in SIC codes 20-39 or distributors who in
turn sell that product to firms in SIC codes 20-39.
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. Because they sold the product to
companies in SIC codes 20-39, however, you still
must notify them and they are expected to pass the
notice along to their customers. You should assume
that the chain of distribution includes facilities in SIC
codes 20-39 unless you know otherwise. (The notifi-
cation is limited to SIC 20-39 facilities and their sup-
pliers because only facilities in those SIC codes are
required to report releases under section 313.)
WHAT INFORMATION
THE NOTIFICATION
MUST CONTAIN
The notification must include the following infor-
mation:
(1) A statement that the mixture or trade name product
contains a toxic chemical or chemicals subject to
the reporting requirements of section 313 of EPCRA
and of 40 CFR 372;
-------
(2) The name of each toxic chemical and the associated
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number
of each chemical if applicable. (Chemical catego-
ries do not have CAS numbers, since the categories
can represent several individual chemicals.)
(3) The percentage by weight of each toxic chemical in
the mixture or trade name product (e.g., 25 percent
by weight).
If you are concerned about divulging trade secret
information on chemical identity or percentage com-
position, you may be able to protect this information.
Consult the section in this pamphlet on trade secrets.
HOW THE
NOTIFICATION
MUST BE MADE
The required notification must be in writing. The
notice may, for example, be in the form of a letter to
your customer, in product labeling, or included in
product literature distributed to customers. If you are
required to prepare and distribute a Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mixture under the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Commu-
nication Standard, your section 313 notification must
be attached to or made part of the MSDS. Your notifi-
cation must be attached to an MSDS, or the MSDS
may be modified to include the required information.
(A sample 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 include 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 receiv-
ing a mixture or trade name product containing a listed
chemical with the first shipment of each calendar year.
You may send the notice with subsequent shipments
as well, but you are required to send it with the first
shipment each year.
If EPA adds chemicals to the section 313 list and
your products contain the newly listed chemicals, you
must notify your customers with the first shipment of
the year following EPA's final decision to add the
chemical to the list. For example, if EPA adds chemi-
cal ABC to the list in September 1990, you would be
required to supply notification on chemical ABC be-
ginning with the first shipment in 1991.
There are two exceptions to this rule. For mixtures
or trade name products for which you have previously
provided notification, you must send a new or revised
notice if you:
(1) Change a mixture or trade name product by
adding, removing, or changing the percentage
by weight of a listed toxic chemical. Notification
must accompany the first shipment of the
changed product.
(2) Discover that your previous notification did not
properly identify the toxic chemicals in the mix-
ture or correctly indicate the percentage by
weight. In that case, you must:
• Supply a new or revised notification within
30 days of the discovery; and
• Identify in the notification the prior ship-
ments of the mixture or product to which
the new notification applies; and
-------
Indicate how many shipments were af-
fected during the calendar year (e.g., if the
notification is made in August 1989, you
must indicate how many shipments were
affected during the period January 1 -
August).
WHEN NOTIFICATIONS
ARE NOT REQUIRED
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 chemicals.
If your mixture or trade name product contains one
of the listed chemicals,you are not required 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 minimis levels):
• 0.1 percent of the chemical present in the
mixture, if the chemical is defined as an
"OSHA carcinogen";
• 1 percent for other listed toxic chemicals.
Attached is a list of chemicals and chemical cate-
gories covered by section 313 that identifies the de
minimis levels for each.
-------
(2) Your mixture or a trade name product is one of
the following:
• An article that does not release a covered
toxic chemical to the environment under
normal conditions of processing or use.
• Foods, drugs, cosmetics, pesticides, alco-
holic 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 general
public. For example, if you mix or pack-
age one gallon cans of paint designed for
use by the general public, you would not
have to supply notification.
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. If the same mixture contains
0.5 percent vinyl chloride, however, you must notify
your customers because vinyl chloride is considered
to be a carcinogen under OSHA.
A battery that you manufacture contains sulfuric
acid, a listed toxic chemical. The battery is an article.
During normal use of the battery, 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.
-------
TRADF
I r\MLJC
In certain cases, chemical suppliers may con-
sider the chemical name or the specific percentage by
weight of a section 313 chemical in a mixture or trade
name product to be a trade secret. In these cases
you may do the following:
(1) If you consider the specific identity of a toxic
chemical to be a trade secret, the notice to your
customer(s) must contain a generic chemical
name that is descriptive of the structure of that
toxic chemical. For example,
decabromodiphenyl oxide could be described
as a halogenated aromatic.
(2) If you consider the specific percentage by
weight composition of a toxic chemical in the
mixture or trade name product to be a trade se-
cret, your notice to customers must contain a
statement that the chemical is present at a con-
centration that does not exceed a specified up-
per bound. For example, if a mixture contains
12 percent toluene and you consider the per-
centage a trade secret, the notification may
state that the mixture contains toluene at no
more than 15 percent concentration. The upper
bound value chosen must be no larger than
necessary to adequately protect the trade se-
cret.
You should be aware that if you claim certain in-
formation to be trade secret, you must have documen-
tation in your files that provides the basis for that
claim.
-------
RECORDKEEPING
REQUIREMENTS
You are required to keep records for three years
of the following:
(1) Notifications sent to customers;
(2) Explanations of why a notification was considered
necessary and all supporting materials used to de-
velop 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 notifica-
tion; and
(4) Explanations of why a specific concentration is con-
sidered a trade secret and the basis for the upper
bound concentration limit.
This information must be readily available for inspection by
EPA.
