                Community Right-To-Know; Adopting 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes for Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting
                
                    AGENCY:
                    Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
                
                
                    ACTION:
                    Proposed rule.
                
                
                    SUMMARY:
                    
                        EPA is proposing to update 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) 2022 NAICS code revision. OMB updates the NAICS codes every five years. EPA currently uses 2017 NAICS codes and is proposing to implement the 2022 codes for TRI Reporting Year 2022 (
                        i.e.,
                         facilities reporting to TRI would be required to use 2022 NAICS codes on reports that are due to the Agency by July 1, 2023). The actual data required by a TRI form will not change as a result of this rulemaking, nor will the rule affect the universe of TRI reporting facilities that are required to submit reports to the Agency under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

                I. Executive Summary
                A. Does this action apply to me?
                You may be potentially affected by this action if you own or operate facilities that have 10 or more full-time employees or the equivalent of 20,000 employee hours per year that manufacture, process, or otherwise use toxic chemicals listed on the TRI, and that are required under section 313 of EPCRA or section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) to report annually to EPA and States or Tribes their environmental releases or other waste management quantities of covered chemicals. (A rule was published on April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23409; FRL96609), requiring facilities located in Indian country to report to the appropriate tribal government official and EPA instead of to the state and EPA.)
                The following list of 2017 North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:
                 Facilities included in the following NAICS manufacturing codes (corresponding to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39): 311*, 312*, 313*, 314*, 315*, 316, 321, 322, 323*, 324, 325*, 326*, 327, 331, 332, 333, 334*, 335*, 336, 337*, 339*, 111998*, 113310, 211130* (corresponds to SIC 2819), 212324*, 212325*, 212393*, 212399*, 488390*, 511110, 511120, 511130, 511140*, 511191, 511199, 512230*, 512250*, 519130*, 541713*, 541715*, or 811490*.
                (*Exceptions and/or limitations exist for these NAICS codes.)
                
                     Facilities included in the following NAICS manufacturing codes (corresponding to SIC codes other than 2039): 211130 (corresponds to SIC code 1321); or 212111, 212112, 212113, (corresponds to SIC code 12, Coal Mining (except 1241)); 212221, 212222, 212230, 212299 (corresponds to SIC code 10, Metal Mining (except 1011, 1081, and 1094)); or 22111*, 221121, 221122, 221330 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power distribution in commerce) (corresponds to SIC codes 4911, 4931, and 4939, Electric Utilities); or 424690, 425110, 425120 (limited to facilities previously classified in SIC code 5169, Chemicals and Allied Products, Not Elsewhere Classified); or 424710 (corresponds to SIC code 5171, Petroleum Bulk Terminals and Plants); or 562112 (limited to facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis (previously classified under SIC code 7389, Business Services, Not Elsewhere Classified)); or 562211, 562212, 562213, 562219, 562920 (limited to facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. 6921 
                    et seq.
                    ) (corresponds to SIC code 4953, Refuse Systems).

                     section.  
                
                B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
                EPA is taking this action under EPCRA sections 313(g)(1) and 328, 42 U.S.C. 11023(g)(1) and 11048. In general, EPCRA section 313 requires owners and operators of covered facilities in specified SIC codes that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals in amounts above specified threshold levels to report certain facility specific information about such chemicals, including the annual releases and other waste management quantities. EPCRA section 313(g)(1) 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. Congress also granted EPA broad rulemaking authority to allow the Agency to fully implement the statute. EPCRA section 328 authorizes EPA to prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to carry out this chapter. 42 U.S.C. 11048.
                C. Why is EPA taking this action?
                
                    In the 
                    Federal Register
                     of April 9, 1997 (62 FR 17288), OMB published a final decision to adopt the NAICS economic classification system, replacing the Standard Industry Classification (SIC) system which had traditionally been used by the Federal Government for collecting and organizing industry-related statistics. Consistent with EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607, on June 6, 2006, EPA amended 40 CFR part 372 to change TRI reporting from requiring SIC codes to requiring NAICS codes (71 FR 32464; FRL81802) (Ref. 1). This amendment to the regulation included the 2002 NAICS codes for TRI reporting. OMB revises the NAICS codes every five years. Therefore, EPA subsequently updated the NAICS codes in:
                
                 June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32466; FRL85771) to include the 2007 codes,
                 July 18, 2013 (78 FR 42875; FRL98258) (Ref. 2) to include the 2012 NAICS codes,
                 December 26, 2017 (82 FR 60906; FRL997002) to include the 2017 NAICS codes.
                
                    In the 
                    Federal Register
                     of December 21, 2021, OMB announced updated NAICS codes for 2022 (86 FR 72277). In this document EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR part 372 to reflect OMB's updated 2022 NAICS codes.
                
                NAICS codes are used by EPA's TRI program, which provides the ability to track releases and other waste management (among other information) of chemicals by a sector and/or facility basis. This detailed information is made public so that community members, industrial facilities, research organizations, and federal government can make informed decisions that impact human health and the environment. Also, comparative analysis by sector or facility can demonstrate the volume of a specific chemical released to air, water, and land. In addition, NAICS codes help provide a snapshot of pollution prevention efforts at each facility by demonstrating results of toxic emissions reductions across industry sectors.
                D. What action is the Agency taking?
                Given OMB's revisions to the NAICS codes that became effective January 1, 2022, EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR part 372 to update the 2022 NAICS codes for TRI reporting. In addition, EPA is proposing to include NAICS codes in 40 CFR part 372 for facilities that are covered under TRI's SIC codes but had been inadvertently excluded in past TRI NAICS rulemakings. EPA is also proposing to update the CFR to account for the discretionary authority provision provided in EPCRA section 313(b)(2) (42 U.S.C. 11023(b)(2)).
                1. NAICS Codes Updated To Conform With the 2022 NAICS Code Modifications
                
                    Under this action, TRI reporting requirements would remain unchanged. However, due to the 2022 NAICS code modifications, some facilities will need to modify their reported NAICS codes as outlined in Table 1 in Unit I.D., which identifies only the revised TRI NAICS 
                    
                    reporting codes and is not an exhaustive list of all NAICS reporting codes subject to EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607. Table 1 also includes notes where a 2022 NAICS code is the result of merging 2017 NAICS codes. In those cases, EPA is clarifying which subset of the 2022 NAICS code is covered by TRI. (Note that non-TRI-covered NAICS codes will not be listed in the table.) A complete listing of all TRI-covered facilities can be found in the regulations at 40 CFR 372.23.

                            This merges both TRI-covered and non-TRI-covered NAICS codes. Only 519130: Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals was covered by TRI. TRI will note that only certain Web Search Portals facilities under NAICS code 519290 are required to report.
                        
                    
                
                  
                2. Listing of Certain NAICS Codes in the Utilities Industry Sector
                Additionally, facilities included in the following NAICS manufacturing codes will be listed at 40 CFR 372.23 and will be subject to TRI reporting requirements (see 40 CFR part 372[AMENDED]): 221114Solar Electric Power Generation; 221115Wind Electric Power Generation; 221116Geothermal Electric Power Generation; and 221117Biomass Electric Power Generation). In 1997, when EPA added the electric utility industry sector to the scope of the TRI, the Agency qualified the addition to include all facilities which burn any quantity of coal or oil to generate power for distribution in commerce. (62 FR 23834, May 1, 1997; FRL55783) (Ref. 3). Further, the Agency clearly stated that this addition includes any facility classified under SIC codes 4911, 4931, or 4939 that combusts coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce. EPA clearly stated that this coverage includes a facility that burns any quantity of coal or oil to generate power for distribution in commerce, noting examples where a facility might burn coal or oil for purposes other than distribution in commerce and thus not fit the qualifier provided for the industry sector. (62 FR 23834, 23863) (Ref. 3).
                
                    The 2007 NAICS to 2012 NAICS revision split NAICS 221119 (a NAICS code at the time covered by TRI due to its crosswalk to SIC codes 4911, 4931, and 4939) into multiple codes (
                    i.e.,
                     221114, 221115, 221116, 221117, and 221118). When EPA updated the set of 2007 NAICS codes used by TRI to conform to the 2012 NAICS revision, the Agency listed only 221118, neglecting to include 221114, 221115, 221116, and 221117. (78 FR 42875) (Ref. 2). However, as provided by the 1997 rule that included electricity generating facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce, these NAICS codes should have been included in the 
                    
                    CFR. Further, because the CFR lists SIC codes 4911, 4931, and 4939 as being regulated by TRI, facilities in NAICS codes 221114, 221115, 221116, and 221117 would be regulated by TRI should they combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating power for distribution in commerce despite the Agency's oversight in terms of failing to list these NAICS codes in the CFR. Therefore, facilities identifying with these NAICS codes (
                    i.e.,
                     221114, 221115, 22116, and 221117) are covered under TRI reporting regulation and EPA proposes to address its previous oversight by adding these NAICS codes to 40 CFR 372.23. Similarly, in the 2006 rule to include NAICS codes in the regulations for TRI, EPA neglected to include NAICS code 221210. SIC codes 4931 and 4939 are covered TRI reporting codes (40 CFR 372.23(b), 62 FR 23834). Both of these SIC codes crosswalk to multiple NAICS codes which are listed on the CFR, except for 221210. EPA acknowledges it was an oversight not to include 221210 in the 2006 rule adopting NAICS codes for TRI reporting (71 FR 32464) (Ref. 1) and proposes to add 221210 to 40 CFR 372.23 for this NAICS update rule.
                
                
                    Crosswalk tables between all 2017 NAICS codes and 2022 NAICS codes can be found on the internet at 
                    https://www.census.gov/naics/.
                
                3. Updates to 40 CFR Part 372 To Accommodate EPCRA Section 313(b)(2)
                As authorized under EPCRA section 313(b)(2), the EPA Administrator may determine that a particular facility is subject to the requirements of EPCRA section 313(a) on the basis of the toxicity of a chemical, the facility's proximity to other facilities that release the chemical or to population centers, the history of releases of the chemical at the facility, or other factors the Administrator deems appropriate. This authority has been codified previously in TRI regulations, describing the process for modifying the list of covered facilities (40 CFR 372.20(b)). EPA is proposing to also codify this discretionary authority at 40 CFR 372.22, which describes the criteria to determine whether a facility must report to TRI for a certain calendar year. This proposed edit is a conforming edit to accommodate the longstanding discretionary authority under EPCRA section 313(b)(2), and this edit would not alter the universe of EPCRA section 313 reporters or any TRI reporting requirements. This additional criteria for facilities reporting to TRI will be added to 40 CFR 372.22 (see part 372[AMENDED]).
                E. What are the incremental impacts of this action?
                EPA analyzed the potential costs and benefits associated with this action and determined that since this action will not add or remove any reporting requirements, there is no net increase in respondent burden or other economic impacts to consider.
                F. Are there potentially disproportionate impacts for children health?
                EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of covered regulatory action in section 2202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk.

                III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
                
                    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at 
                    https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
                
                A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
                This action is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
                B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
                
                    This action does not impose any new information collection burden under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 
                    et seq.
                     Facilities that are affected by the rule are already required to report their industrial classification codes on the approved reporting forms under EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607. In addition, OMB has previously approved the information collection activities involving Form R and Form A as contained in 40 CFR part 372 under OMB Control No. 200700212 (EPA ICR No. 2613.04).
                
                
                    Under the PRA, 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 are displayed either by publication in the 
                    Federal Register
                     or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
                
                C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
                
                    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 
                    et seq.
                     In making this determination, EPA concludes that the impact of concern for this rule is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities and that the agency is certifying that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities if the rule has no net burden on the small entities subject to the rule. This proposed rule adds no new reporting requirements, and there would be no net increase in respondent burden and costs. This rule would only update the NAICS codes already reported by respondents. As such, this action will not impose any new requirements on small entities.
                
                D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
                
                    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 15311538, and does 
                    
                    not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action would impose no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments or the private sector.
                
                E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
                This action does not have federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it will not 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.
                F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments
                This action does not have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it does not impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
                G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
                EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of covered regulatory action in section 2202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk.
                H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
                This action is not a significant energy action under Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy and has not otherwise been designated by the Administrator of OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action. This action is not expected to affect energy use, energy supply or energy prices.
                I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
                This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. As such, NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not apply to this action.
                J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and Executive Order 14008: Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad
                In accordance with Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) and Executive Order 14008 (86 FR 7619, January 27, 2021), EPA finds that this action will not result in disproportionately high and adverse human health, environmental, climate-related, or other cumulative impacts on disadvantaged communities because this action does not establish an environmental health or safety standard.
                
                    List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 372
                    Environmental protection, Community right-to-know, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Toxic chemicals.
                
                
                    Dated: July 13, 2022.
                    Michal Freedhoff,
                    Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention.
                
                  
                Therefore, for the reasons set forth in the preamble, it is proposed that 40 CFR chapter I be amended as follows:
                
                    PART 372TOXIC CHEMICAL RELEASE REPORTING: COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW
                
                1. The authority citation for part 372 continues to read as follows:
                
                    Authority: 
                    42 U.S.C. 11023 and 11048.
                
                2. Amend  372.22 by revising the introductory paragraph and adding paragraph (d) to read as follows:
                
                     372.22 
                    Covered facilities for toxic chemical release reporting.
                    A facility is a covered facility for a particular calendar year, and must report under 40 CFR 372.30, if the facility meets either all of the criteria in paragraphs (a) through (c), or all of the criteria in paragraphs (c) and (d), for that calendar year.
                    
                    (d) The Administrator determined that applying the 42 U.S.C. 11023 requirements to the facility was warranted, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 11023(b)(2) and 40 CFR 372.20(b).
                
                3. Amend  372.23 by revising paragraphs (b) and (c) to read as follows:
                
                     372.23 
                    SIC and NAICS codes to which this Part applies.
                    
                    (b) NAICS codes that correspond to SIC codes 2039.
