Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program

Is My Facility's Six­Digit NAICS Code a TRICovered Industry?

NAICS Codes and TRI Reporting

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is a framework by

which economic units that have similar production processes are classified into

the same industry by a numerical designation, the most detailed of which is sixdigits.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right­to­Know Act originally required

TRI reporting using four­digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.

However, the Office of Management and Budget replaced the SIC code system

with the NAICS code system developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, and TRI

adopted this system in 2006 (71 FR 32464). NAICS codes are updated every five

years, and TRI facilities currently use OMB­revised 2012 six­digit NAICS codes

on their TRI reporting forms.

NOTE: It is the full six­digit NAICS code (not the two, three, four, or five digitcode) that determines a facility's coverage under the TRI Program.

Determining if Your Facility's Six­Digit Primary

NAICS Code is Covered by the TRI Program

1. Determine your facility's six­digit NAICS code for the purposes of TRI

reporting.

If you already know your facility's six­digit code, skip to step #2.

http://www.epa.gov/toxics­release­inventory­tri­program/my­facilitys­six­digit­naics­code­tri­covered­industry 2/10

If you are unsure of your facility's six­digit code, you can:

View the U.S. Census Bureau's SIC to NAICS crosswalk tables

Refer to section B.2 of the TRI Reporting Forms and Instructions

Contact the TRI Information Center

Contact your TRI regional coordinator

2. Find your facility's three­digit NAICS industry subsector code or four­digit

NAICS industry group on the list below. The details given will indicate which

six­digit NAICS codes are covered and whether there are any reporting

exceptions or limitations for those covered codes. If your facility's two or threedigit code does not appear in one of the headings below, or is not captured under

the "All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing" heading, your facility is not

required to report to the TRI Program.

3. Note that a variety of miscellaneous six­digit NAICS codes are included in "All

Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing," which is listed right after subsector 339,

Miscellaneous Manufacturing.

limited to, the NAICS codes listed above. EO 12856 is superseded by EO 13148

(2000) and EO 13423 (2007).
