Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions

Instructions for Completing Part I of EPA Form R
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
is a new economic classification system that will replace the
1987 SIC code system. EPA will address the SIC code change,
as it relates to EPCRA, in an upcoming Federal Register notice.
This upcoming change does NOT affect the 2003 EPCRA
section 313 reporting.
4.6 Latitude and Longitude
Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility.
Sources of these data include EPA permits (e.g., NPDES
permits), county property records, facility blueprints, and site
plans. You can determine the latitude and longitude of your
facility using a siting tool found on the TRI Home page or in
the TRI-ME software. For information on the siting tool and
instructions on how to determine these coordinates see
Appendix E. Enter only numerical data. Do not preface
numbers with letters such as N or W to denote the hemisphere.
Latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are very
important for pinpointing the location of reporting facilities and
are required elements on the Form R. EPA encourages
facilities to make the best possible measurements when
determining latitude and longitude. Please check to make sure
the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are
correct. For the continental United States readings should be
within 24E23'58" and 49E22'16" latitude, and 66E53'06" and
124E50'55" longitude. For Alaska readings should be within
51E10'30" and 71E26'04" latitude, and 129E59'29" and
187E39'08" longitude. For Hawaii readings should be within
18E51'56" and 28E30'59" latitude, and 154E45'21" and
178E26'25" longitude. As with any other data field, missing,
suspect, or incorrect data may generate an error notice in the
Facility Data Profile to be issued to the facility. (See
Appendix C)
4.7 Dun & Bradstreet Number(s)
Enter the nine-digit number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet (D
& B) for your facility or each establishment within your
facility. These numbers code the facility for financial purposes.
This number may be available from your facility*s treasurer or
financial officer. You can also obtain the numbers from your
local Dun & Bradstreet office (check the telephone book White
Pages). If a facility does not subscribe to the D & B service, a
number can be obtained, toll free at 800 234-3867 (8:00 AM to
6:00 PM, Local Time) or on the Web at . If
none of your establishments has been assigned a D & B
number, you should enter NA in box (a). If only some of your
establishments have been assigned D & B numbers, enter those
numbers in Part I, section 4.7.
4.8 EPA Identification Number(s)
The EPA Identification Number is a 12-character number
assigned to facilities covered by hazardous waste regulations
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
Facilities not covered by RCRA Subtitle C are not likely to have
an assigned identification number. If your facility is not
required to have an identification number, you should enter NA
in box (a). If your facility has been assigned EPA Identification
Numbers, you must enter those numbers in the spaces provided
in Section 4.8.
4.9 NPDES Permit Number(s)
Enter the numbers of any permits your facility holds under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) even
if the permit(s) do not pertain to the EPCRA section 313
chemical being reported. This nine-character permit number is
assigned to your facility by EPA or the state under the authority
of the Clean Water Act. If your facility does not have a permit,
you should enter NA in Section 4.9a.
4.10 Underground Injection
Well Code (UIC) Identification Number(s)
If your facility has a permit to inject a waste that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical into Class 1 deep
wells, enter the 12-digit Underground Injection Well Code
(UIC) identification number assigned by EPA or by the state
under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act. If your
facility does not hold such a permit(s), you should enter NA in
Section 4.10a. You are required to provide the UIC number for
wells that receive the EPCRA section 313 chemical being
reported in the current reporting year.
Section 5. Parent Company Information
You must provide information on your parent company. For
purposes of Form R, a parent company is defined as the highest
level company, located in the United States, that directly owns
at least 50% of the voting stock of your company. If your
facility is owned by a foreign entity, enter NA in this space.
Corporate names should be treated as parent company names for
companies with multiple facility sites. For example, the
Bestchem Corporation is not owned or controlled by any other
corporation but has sites throughout the country whose names
begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem Corporation
should be listed as the parent company. Note that a facility that
is a 50:50 joint venture is its own parent company. When a
facility is owned by more than one company and there is no
parent company for the entire facility (meaning that none of the
facility owners directly owns at least 50 percent of the voting
stock of the facility at issue), the facility should provide the
name of the parent company of either the facility operator or the
