Introduction
Tier2 Submit is a software program developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for use by facilities to enter and submit
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 311/312 chemical information,
commonly known as Tier II reports. Tier2 Submit will allow users to enter multiple facilities,
chemicals and contacts. The program also includes many of the states' additional data
requirements.
Tier2 Submit is designed to assist facilities: Enter, store, print and export Tier II information to
State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs), Local Emergency Planning Committees
(LEPCs) and Fire Departments. Tier2 Submit is designed to help the reporting facility enter the
data efficiently and submit the electronic information easily.
Tier2 Submit is organized in three modules (parts'):
Facilities module - where the user enters their business name, address, Standard
Industrial Code, etc.
Contacts module - where the user enters addresses and phone numbers for the
facility's owner/operator, emergency contact, and other contacts
Chemicals in Inventory module - where the user enters chemical property and storage
information, etc.
The user can navigate to each of these modules freely to add, delete or edit the information. Tier2
Submit has virtually unlimited capacity so even companies with hundreds of facilities can use the
software effectively. Tier2 Submit is also designed with basic and advanced search features, so
facilities, SERCs, LEPCs and Fire Departments can search by county or state for efficient
regulatory submission or emergency planning tasks.
Here are some important points before you get started:
Before you get started please check your state's 2006 Tier II reporting requirements.
You can do this by reviewing state requirements at
http://vosemite.epa.gov/oswer/CeppoWeb.nsf/content/statetier2.htm to determine the
method(s) they accept.
There will be a new version of Tier2 Submit available for download every year. Users
must download the new version each year to properly update reporting requirements.
Please only use Tier2 Submit 2006 to report Tier II information to SERCs, LEPCs
and Fire Depts for the 2006 reporting year (due March 1, 2007).
If you should require assistance with downloading or have additional questions, contact
the RMP Reporting Center at: (301) 429-5018 (8am-4:30pm M-F) or via e-mail at:
userrmp.usersupport@csc.com
For answers to questions about completing your Tier II information, please see the
EPCRA Questions and Answers:
http://v0semite.epa.g0v/0swer/Cepp0Web.nsf/c0ntent/epcraOverview.htm#hazard0us or
contact the Environmental Protection Agency RCRA, Superfund & EPCRA Call Center at
1-800-424-9346 or TDD (800) 553-7672.
