Community Right-To-Know; Corrections and 2007 Updates to the
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) Reporting Codes; Final Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is amending the regulations to make certain updates and
corrections to the list of North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes subject to reporting under the Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI) to reflect the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
2007 NAICS revision. EPA is making corrections to the list of NAICS
codes subject to reporting under TRI that was published on June 6,
2006, in the final rule adopting NAICS for TRI reporting and is
correcting a longstanding typographical error in the regulatory text.
DATES: This final rule is effective on August 8, 2008. Facilities will
be required to report to TRI using 2007 NAICS codes beginning with TRI
reporting forms that are due on July 1, 2009, covering releases and
other waste management quantities for the 2008 calendar year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
Does This Action Apply to Me?
Entities that may be affected by this action are those facilities
that have 10 or more full-time employees or the equivalent 20,000 hours
per year that manufacture, process, or otherwise use toxic chemicals
listed on the TRI, and that are required under section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and section
6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) to report annually to EPA
and States their environmental releases and other waste management
quantities of covered chemicals. Under Executive Order 13423, published
on January 24, 2007 (72 FR 3919), all federal facilities are required
to comply with the provisions set forth in section 313 of EPCRA and
section 6607 of the PPA. On April 2, 2007, the White House Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued Instructions for Implementing
Executive Order 13423, including annual reporting to the TRI program.
Executive departments and agencies are required to implement the
activities described in the instructions in accordance with sections 1,
2, 3 and 4(b) of the Executive Order.
To determine whether your facility is affected by this action, you
should carefully examine the applicability criteria in part 372,
subpart B of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you have
any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
II. What Is EPA's Statutory Authority for Taking This Action?
EPA is finalizing this action under sections 313(g)(1) and 328 of
EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11023(g)(1) and 11048. EPCRA is also referred to as
Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA) (Pub. L. 99-499). In general, section 313 of EPCRA requires
owners and operators of facilities in specified Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes that manufacture, process, or otherwise use
a listed toxic chemical in amounts above specified threshold levels to
report certain facility specific information about such chemicals,
including the annual releases and other waste management quantities.
Section 313(g)(1) of EPCRA requires EPA to publish a uniform toxic
chemical release form for these reporting purposes, and it also
prescribes, in general terms, the types of information that must be
submitted on the form. Section 313(g)(1)(A) requires owners and
operators of facilities that are subject to section 313 requirements to
report the principal business activities at the facilities. Congress
also granted EPA broad rulemaking authority to allow the Agency to
fully implement the statute. EPCRA section 328 authorizes the
``Administrator [to] prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to
carry out this chapter.'' 42 U.S.C. 11048.
Consistent with these authorities, EPA amended 40 CFR Part 372 to
include the 2002 NAICS codes that correspond to the SIC codes that are
currently subject to section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA.
71 FR 32464 (June 6, 2006). EPA is now amending 40 CFR Part 372 to
include OMB's revised NAICS codes for 2007.
Owners and operators of facilities that are subject to section 313
must identify their principal business activities using 2007 NAICS
codes beginning with TRI reporting forms that are due on July 1, 2009,
covering releases and other waste management quantities at the facility
for the 2008 calendar year.
III. Background Information
What Is the General Background for This Action?
EPA promulgated a final TRI NAICS rule on June 6, 2006, to amend
its regulations for TRI, found at 40 CFR Part 372, to include the NAICS
codes. The list of TRI NAICS codes that appeared in the final rule was
developed from the 2002 NAICS revision. EPA is now updating that list
based on the OMB 2007 NAICS revision. In addition, certain TRI-covered
NAICS codes and certain exceptions and limitations to TRI-covered NAICS
codes did not appear in the June 6, 2006, notice's list of TRI-covered
NAICS codes and are now being included.
IV. Final Action
A. What Is the Agency's Final Action?
EPA is amending 40 CFR Part 372 to correct the list of NAICS codes
for TRI reporting and to update the list using 2007 NAICS codes so that
the NAICS codes listed in the TRI regulations accurately reflect the
universe of covered facilities under section 313 of EPCRA and section
6607 of the PPA.
In addition, unrelated to the NAICS codes, EPA is using this
rulemaking as an opportunity to correct a reference to a nonexistent
section in Part 372. Specifically, Sec. 372.5 (Persons subject to this
part) reads, in pertinent part ``If the owner and operator of a
facility are different persons, only one need report under Sec. 372.17
or provide a notice under Sec. 372.45 for each toxic chemical in a
mixture or trade name product distributed from the facility.'' There is
no 40 CFR 372.17 and therefore, reference to this section is an error
which the Agency is proposing to revise to refer to the appropriate
section on TRI reporting requirements, Sec. 372.30 (Reporting
requirements and schedule for reporting).
B. Will This Final Rule Affect the Universe of Facilities That Are
Currently Required To Report to EPA and the States?
This action will not affect the universe of facilities that is
currently required to report under section 313 of EPCRA and section
6607 of the PPA because EPA is not adding or deleting industry groups
from the list of industries currently subject to section 313 reporting
requirements.
C. How Will Section 313 Reporting Requirements Change as a Result of
This Rule?
TRI reporting requirements will not change as a result of this
final rule. This rule revises the NAICS codes to reflect
[[Page 32468]]
the OMB NAICS 2007 revision and corrects inadvertent omissions that
occurred when identifying the NAICS codes that are associated with the
SIC codes that are covered by the statute. This rule will help clarify
that certain sectors are still required to report to TRI and to
accurately reflect all covered sectors in the list of TRI-covered NAICS
codes.
D. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Updates to NAICS
OMB plans to update NAICS every five years with the next update
scheduled for 2012. If necessary, the TRI program will issue a Federal
Register notice to update the TRI NAICS codes at that time.
V. Summary of Public Comments and EPA Responses
No comments were received during the 30-day comment period
following publication of the proposed rule to update TRI NAICS codes.
VI. What Additional Reporting Burden Is Associated With This Action?
This rule adds no new reporting requirements, and there will be no
net increase in respondent burden. Facilities were first required to
report their toxic chemical releases and other waste management
activities to EPA using NAICS codes beginning in 2007 for reporting
year 2006. Covered facilities should refer to the updated NAICS code
list in 40 CFR 372.23 when reporting. Crosswalk tables between 2007
NAICS and 2002 NAICS can be found on the Internet at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.
VII. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to review under the EO.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
Facilities that are affected by the rule are already required to report
their industrial classification codes on the approved reporting forms
under section 313 of EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved
the information collection requirements contained in the existing
regulations at 40 CFR part 372 under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned the Information
Collection Request (ICR) OMB control numbers 2070-0093 (EPA ICR No.
1363-15) for Form R and 2070-0143 (EPA ICR No. 1704-09) for Form A. A
copy of the OMB approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs) may be
obtained from Rick Westlund, Collection Strategies Division; U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (2822T); 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460 or by calling (202) 566-1672.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as Amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.
The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A business that is classified
as a ``small business'' by the Small Business Administration at 13 CFR
121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of
a city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of this rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The small
entities directly regulated by this rule are TRI reporting facilities
that have 10 or more full-time employee equivalents (i.e., a total of
20,000 hours or greater). We have determined that, since this rule
makes only very minor revisions and updates to the TRI NAICS codes that
are already being used by TRI-covered facilities on TRI reporting
forms, the resulting burden due to these minor changes is negligible,
and will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number
of small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
EPA has determined that this rule does not contain a Federal
mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for
State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private
sector in any one year. Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995 (UMRA), Public Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal
agencies to assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State,
local, and tribal governments and the private sector. Under Section 202
of the UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement, including
a cost-benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal
mandates'' that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100
million or more in any one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for
which a written statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally
requires EPA to identify and consider a reasonable number of the
regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective
or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objective of the
rule. The provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are
inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows EPA to
adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-effective
or least burdensome alternative if the Administrator publishes with the
final rule an explanation why that alternative was not adopted. Before
EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, including tribal governments, it
must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a small government
agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying potentially affected
small governments, enabling officials of affected small governments to
have meaningful and timely input in
[[Page 32469]]
the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
Thus, today's rule is not subject to the requirements of sections
202 and 205 of the UMRA. EPA has also determined that this rule
contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Because this rule simply updates and
makes very minor corrections to the TRI NAICS codes that have already
been implemented for reporting by TRI facilities, the rule will not
impose substantial direct compliance costs on TRI reporting facilities
regulated under section 313 of EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
This rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have a
substantial direct effect on States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified
in Executive Order 13132. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to
this rule.
F. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely
input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies
that have tribal implications.'' EPA has concluded that this rule may
have tribal implications as TRI reporting facilities may be on tribal
lands. However, the rule simply updates and makes corrections to the
TRI NAICS codes that have already been implemented for reporting by TRI
facilities, including those on tribal lands. As such, the rule will
neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal
governments, nor preempt Tribal law.
G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies
to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant''
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action
meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health
or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that
the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the
potential to influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental
standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)), because it is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would
be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, etc.) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA
directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the
Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus
standards.
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA has determined that this rule will not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations because the rule addresses information
collection and does not affect the level of protection provided to
human health or the environment.
K. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. Section 804 exempts from section 801 the following types
of rules: (1) Rules of particular applicability; (2) rules relating to
agency management or personnel; and (3) rules of agency organization,
procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties. 5 U.S. 804(3). EPA is not required
to submit a rule report regarding today's action under section 801
because this is a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice
that does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-
agency parties.
