AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–TRI–2010–1022; FRL–9251–2] 

Request Facilities To Report Toxics 

Release Inventory Information 

Electronically or Complete Fill-andPrint Reporting Forms 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: With this document, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

strongly recommends facilities use the 

Toxics Release Inventory-Made Easy 

Web application (TRI-MEweb) to report 

and submit Toxics Release Information 

(TRI) data to EPA. TRI-MEweb provides 

useful features to facilitate the 

submission process and validates data 

to help ensure accuracy. Recognizing 

that some facilities are still using paper 

forms rather than TRI-MEweb, EPA is 

providing a new electronically fillable 

version of Form R, Form R Schedule 1, 

and Form A to make it easier for 

respondents to complete these forms 

and for EPA to read and process the 

submitted forms. The use of TRI-MEweb 

(the preferred method) or, alternatively, 

the Fill-and-Print TRI Forms will help 

ensure data accuracy, while also 

reducing the amount of time it takes for 

EPA to process TRI submissions and 

make valuable toxic chemical release 

and other waste management data 

available to the public.

C. What is EPA requesting? 

EPA strongly recommends that 

facilities that are required to report to 

the TRI program use TRI-MEweb to 

prepare and submit their TRI reporting 

forms to the Agency. TRI-MEweb offers 

facilities useful features and data 

validation tools that facilitate the 

submission process and help ensure the 

submission of accurate and complete 

information. Facilities have increasingly 

recognized the benefits of using TRIMEweb, as reflected by the generally 

increasing percentage of facilities that 

submit TRI reporting forms 

electronically. Most recently, for 

Reporting Year (RY) 2009, the TRI 

program received 82,485 electronic 

submissions, including revisions, out of 

a total of 87,158 submissions. In other 

words, 94.6% of the RY 2009 

submissions were electronic. Because 

such a large portion of TRI reporters 

already use TRI-MEweb, this request 

largely recognizes and applauds those 

facilities that already use the 

application and encourages the 

remainder of facilities to use TRIMEweb as well. More information on 

how to use TRI-MEweb is accessible 

online at the TRI Web page (http:// 

www.epa.gov/tri). 

However, EPA recognizes that some 

facilities will elect not to use TRIMEweb for RY 2010. For these facilities, 

EPA will facilitate the reporting and 

submittal process by providing 

electronically fillable versions (Fill-andPrint TRI Forms) of the Form R 

(including Schedule 1) and Form A 

reporting forms. These Fill-and-Print 

TRI Forms are accessible online 

(http://www.epa.gov/tri) and will allow 

facilities to complete forms on a 

computer by tabbing or clicking to each 

field within a form, thereby providing a 

quick and easy method to complete the 

TRI forms while making the completed 

forms highly readable. 

To reiterate, EPA strongly 

recommends and requests that facilities 

use TRI-MEweb to report TRI data; 

however, if a facility elects not to use 

TRI-MEweb, EPA requests that the 

facility complete the appropriate Filland-Print TRI Form, obtain the signature 

of the facility’s certifying official, and 

then mail the form to EPA. Similarly, if 

a facility prints a blank TRI reporting 

form instead of completing the form 

prior to printing it, EPA requests that 

the facility complete the form by using 

a typewriter. Facilities that elect to 

submit paper forms must still ultimately 

have their respective certifying officials 

sign their TRI forms by hand. 

Facilities that submit trade secret 

information will continue to submit two 

versions of the substantiation form and 

two versions of Form R or Form A 

—sanitized versions that include the 

generic chemical name and unsanitized 

versions that include the trade secret 

chemical name. Facilities may not use 

TRI-MEweb to submit trade secret 

information. However, EPA strongly 

recommends that facilities that are 

submitting TRI trade secret information 

use a computer or typewriter to prepare 

the sanitized and unsanitized versions 

of Form R or Form A and use a 

typewriter to complete the sanitized and 

unsanitized versions of the 

substantiation form. Please consult the 

TRI Web site (http://www.epa.gov/tri) 

and the most recent version of the Toxic 

Chemical Release Inventory Reporting 

Forms, and Instructions (RFI), which is 

accessible at the TRI Web site, for 

detailed information concerning the 

submission of trade secret information.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2011 / Notices 2679 

D. Why is EPA making this request? 

TRI-MEweb provides useful features 

that make it easier and quicker for 

facilities to provide TRI information to 

EPA. This online application provides 

validation tools to help ensure facilities 

provide accurate data and enables EPA 

to process and release the data faster 

than when the data are submitted on 

hard-copy forms. In light of the features 

and tools TRI-MEweb provides and the 

prevalence and availability of the 

Internet, EPA is considering issuing a 

proposed rule within the next year that 

would take comment on requiring 

facilities to utilize electronic reporting 

for future reporting years (i.e., not before 

RY 2011). 

For facilities that elect not to use TRIMEweb for RY 2010, EPA is providing, 

as an interim measure, electronically 

fillable versions of Form A, Form R, and 

Form R Schedule 1. The use of these 

Fill-and-Print TRI Forms should 

expedite the processing of submittals 

and prevent some inadvertent 

transcription errors from entering the 

TRI database. Specifically, to 

incorporate paper submissions into the 

TRI National Database, EPA must first 

manually transcribe paper submissions 

into an electronic database. 

Transcription errors can inadvertently 

occur during this process; and, because 

it can be difficult to read handwritten 

submissions, reports prepared by hand 

further increase the potential for errors 

to occur. Requesting facilities to 

complete electronically fillable TRI 

reporting forms prior to printing, 

certifying/signing, and submitting them 

should facilitate the completion and 

processing of paper submissions and 

prevent the introduction of errors 

arising from unclear handwriting. 

E. Does this request address revisions? 

Yes, this request also addresses the 

relatively few facilities who wish to 

revise TRI data. EPA strongly 

encourages facilities to use TRI-MEweb 

to revise TRI information associated 

with a prior reporting year. TRI-MEweb 

allows a facility to access and revise 

reports submitted for the five prior 

years, regardless of whether the facility 

has previously used TRI-MEweb to 

submit this information. However, at 

this point, a facility may still file 

revision requests using hard-copy forms 

if desired by using either (1) a 

photocopy of the original submission or 

(2) a blank copy of the current year’s or 

applicable year’s reporting form. 

If a facility wishes to file a revision 

request by paper, EPA recommends that 

the facility use the appropriate 2010 TRI 

reporting form (Form R, Form R 

Schedule 1, or Form A), since these 

forms are now available in fill-and-print 

versions. However, EPA will also accept 

revisions on the applicable year’s 

reporting form. TRI forms for reporting 

years prior to RY 2010 are not available 

in fill-and-print versions; however, if 

using such forms, EPA strongly 

encourages facilities to use a typewriter 

to complete the forms, rather than 

completing them by hand. 

Please consult the most recent version 

of the RFI, which is accessible at the TRI 

Web site (http://www.epa.gov/tri), for 

detailed information concerning 

revisions. 

F. Does this request address 

withdrawals? 

Yes, the EPA strongly recommends 

facilities use TRI-MEweb if requesting 

the withdrawal of a previous TRI 

submission. TRI-MEweb allows a 

facility to access and withdraw reports 

submitted for the five prior years, 

regardless of whether the facility has 

previously used TRI-MEweb to submit 

this information. Alternatively, a facility 

may submit a withdrawal request by 

paper. For detailed instructions 

concerning withdrawals, please consult 

the most recent version of the RFI on the 

TRI Web site (http://www.epa.gov/tri). 

G. What benefits does TRI-MEweb 

provide? 

EPA requests that facilities use TRIMEweb because the use of this 

application should provide benefits by 

expediting the processing of TRI reports, 

maximizing data accuracy, and reducing 

the amount of time it takes EPA to 

process and make the data available to 

the public. Achieving these benefits will 

enhance the public’s knowledge about 

toxic chemical releases and other waste 

management information covered by the 

TRI program by helping ensure the 

timely public availability of accurate 

TRI data and information. 

Appropriately, TRI-MEweb provides 

useful features and data validation tools 

that make it easy to submit accurate TRI 

information to EPA. Benefits include: 

• Validation assistance, which 

prevents facilities from submitting 

incomplete or invalid information; 

• Facility and chemical quick lists 

feature, which allows users to skip 

sections of the TRI Form R if they do not 

apply to the facility; 

• Access to the five prior years of 

reporting data, which enables facilities 

to check past reporting submissions and 

revise or withdraw previously 

submitted information; 

• The ability to submit valid chemical 

data files from third party software 

using eXtensible Markup Language 

(XML), which expedites multi-chemical 

reporting; 

• The option to search for publicly 

owned treatment works (POTWs) and 

sites that report to EPA under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) using location parameter 

data, which facilitates the completion of 

the off-site transfer location field on the 

TRI Form R and Form R Schedule 1; 

• Preloaded parent company data, 

which assists facilities in identifying 

their parent company and helps ensure 

a facility is accurately matched with its 

parent company; 

• Automatic calculation of Section 8 

data on Form R and Form R Schedule 

1 based on what a facility enters in 

Sections 5 and 6, which saves facilities 

time and prevents inadvertent mistakes; 

• Trend reports, which compare 

current and prior year data to help 

facilities identify potential errors in 

reporting; and 

• The automatic population of certain 

data fields based on the facility’s TRI 

submissions from the previous reporting 

year, thereby expediting the submittal 

process and minimizing opportunities 

for inadvertent errors to enter the 

database. 

H. What benefits do electronically 

fillable forms provide? 

For facilities that decline to use TRIMEweb, EPA believes the use of 

electronically fillable reporting forms 

will increase data accuracy and shorten 

the time it takes the Agency to process 

TRI reports. Completing forms using a 

computer before printing the forms or 

using a typewriter to complete blank 

forms should reduce the likelihood that 

inadvertent mistakes could occur while 

transcribing the data into an electronic 

database. 

I. What benefits should these 

recommendations produce? 

If facilities adhere to this request to 

use TRI-MEweb, or, alternatively, Filland-Print TRI Forms, the likelihood of 

inadvertent errors occurring during TRI 

form preparation or processing should 

be reduced. With the use of these tools, 

the Agency will be able to more 

effectively provide the public with 

access to the latest TRI data on toxic 

chemical releases and other waste 

management within communities.
