Info

General Information data using software developed by a third-party vendor, you should contact the software developer to determine if their software is capable of creating revisions. If not, you can use either the ATRS or TRI-ME software or the current hardcopy paper form. Please be careful when submitting magnetic media revisions to resubmit only the revised submissions. Do not resubmit a diskette containing all of your original submissions if you are only revising one or several of them. If you submit a diskette to EPA, do not also submit a duplicate printout of what is on the diskette because they will both be processed potentially resulting in duplicate records for your facility. Hard copy revision are accepted but not encouraged due to the likelihood of data entry errors. Hard copy revisions may be submitted using the most recent form available, the most recent version of the TRI-ME software(only for the reporting year for which the software was developed) or ATRS 2001. After printing the revised form, certify and date the form on Page 1 or provide a cover letter with the software created data revision. Alternatively, you may submit a photocopy of your original submission (from your file) with the corrections made in blue ink. Re-sign and re-date the certification statement on Page 1. For hard copy revisions on forms from 1990 and earlier reporting years, you should write “VOLUNTARY REVISION” on page 1 of the form. For hard copy revisions on forms from 1991 and later reporting years, you should enter “X” in the space marked “Enter “X” here if this is a revision,” on page 1 of the form. Where to Send Your Revision Request When submitting a revision request to EPA regarding the submission(s) of your TRI Form R and/or Form A Certification, please send your request to the TRI Data Processing Center.

In order to have a submission removed from the TRI database, EPA recommends that facilities send their request to EPA and the appropriate state agency, if required, by completing a ‘Request for Withdrawal’ template (provided in Appendix I of this document). EPA will review each request and notify the requestor by letter whether or not the withdrawal request has been accepted. In order to effectively process the request, you should submit the following information: ” Facility name and TRI Facility Identification Number (TRIFID). ” Facility mailing address. ” Reporting year. ” Chemical name. ” Technical contact name and phone number. ” Name and phone number of the requester. ” Reason(s) for withdrawal. ” Signature. Facilities may request a withdrawal for one or several reasons, such as: ” They manufacture, process or otherwise use less than threshold quantities. (The reporting thresholds are 25,000 pounds for manufacturing or processing and 10,000 pounds for otherwise use except for persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals and chemical categories. PBT chemicals and chemical categories have reporting thresholds of 10 or 100 pounds except for the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category that has a reporting threshold of 0.1 gram). ” Change in EPA reporting requirements for this chemical. It is no longer manufactured, processed or otherwise used above reporting thresholds or it has been deleted from the EPCRA Section 313 toxic chemical list. ” Qualify for one of the following EPCRA Section 313 exemptions: < de minimis (Please note that de minimis exemption is not allowed for PBT chemicals and chemical categories). < Article. < Laboratory activities. < Use as structural component. < Coal extraction activities. < Routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance. 4 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions

A.7 Where to Send the Forms A.7.a How to Submit Form R(s) and/or Form A(s) to EPA via the Internet (EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX)) You have a choice of submitting your forms to EPA through the Central Data Exchange (CDX), magnetic media or paper. However, the use of CDX will enable you to submit your revisions in the most efficient manner. EPA encourages you to use TRI-ME to electronically submit your TRI submission(s) via the Internet. TRI-ME allows you to submit electronically to EPA without the need for mailing any paper (electronic submission is not available for trade secret forms). If you choose to submit via the Internet, do not send duplicate paper or diskette copies of the reports. Please be aware that submitting via the Internet to the U.S. EPA does not satisfy your state reporting requirements for your facility. You must report to your state separately and in the required format specified by your state (i.e., diskette, paper, etc.). If you have any questions about the electronic submission process, call 888 890-1995 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time. For additional information about CDX, please see: . A.7.b How to Send Your Disks Containing Form R(s) and/or Form A(s) Included in this reporting package (on the enclosed CD-ROM) is the TRI-ME reporting software. If you choose to submit your TRI Form R(s) and or Form A(s) on magnetic media/diskette using TRI-ME, please follow the instructions below. If you choose to submit on diskette, do not submit duplicate paper copies of the reports that are on the diskette.
