recovery, recycled and treated. Form A cannot be used for persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals that

have a lower reporting threshold.

Introduction

The Office of Environmental Information administers the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)

program. This program requires annual reporting from facilities in manufacturing and certain

other industry sectors, as well as federal facilities. Using readily available information and

reasonable estimates, facilities are responsible for completing TRI reports on toxic chemical

releases and other waste management activities.

The amount of time that facilities spend gathering information, making estimates,

completing the TRI forms, keeping records, and mailing the forms represents the burden hours

imposed by the program. Historically, burden hour estimates have been developed for various

economic analyses and Information Collection Requests (ICRs) for the TRI program.

The primary TRI reporting instrument is the "Form R": a 5-page form addressing facility

and chemical identity, chemical releases to various environmental media, off-site transfers, on-site

waste treatment, on-site energy recovery, and source reduction and recycling. However, facilities

with an annual reportable release amount of 500 pounds or less of a reportable chemical can take

advantage of an alternate manufacture, process, or otherwise use threshold of one million

pounds.1 Facilities that qualify for this alternate threshold can submit a "Form A" instead of a

Form R. Form A only contains data on facility and chemical identity. Because the Form A is

simpler than the Form R, facilities that qualify for the alternate threshold expend less time on

calculations, report completion and recordkeeping for chemicals that are reported on Form A.

This memo has the following objectives: 1) to describe the existing burden hour estimates,

2) to describe revisions to the burden hour estimates based on the experience of facilities

reporting to TRI, and 3) to note areas for further research.

Existing Estimates

The tasks associated with TRI reporting are broken into the following major activities that

are conducted for the facility or for the specific chemical being reported. Each bullet below

describes the activity and the source of the burden hour estimate.

FACILITY

 Rule Familiarization: If a facility is subject to TRI reporting for the first time, its staff

must learn and understand the reporting requirements. At a minimum, this involves

reading the reporting form instructions, but could also involve consulting EPA guidance

documents, attending a training course, and/or calling the technical hotline. The burden
3

associated with rule familiarization only occurs in the first year that a facility is subject to

reporting. In subsequent years, the staff are familiar with the requirements that apply to

their facility, and the facility does not incur this burden again. The burden hour estimate

for this activity was developed in the economic analysis for the original rulemaking for the

TRI program.

 Compliance Determination: Facilities must determine whether they meet the criteria for

reporting. A facility must report to TRI if it: (a) is within industry groups covered by the

TRI program; (b) has 10 or more employees or the equivalent of 10 full-time employees;

and (c) manufactures, processes, or uses a listed toxic chemicals above threshold levels. 

The incremental costs associated with the first two determinations are expected to be low,

since most facilities are familiar with their industry group and number of employees. The

third determination, however, requires the management and technical staff to determine

the types of chemicals used at the facility, and whether they are manufactured, processes,

or otherwise used above applicable reporting thresholds. The time spent making threshold

determinations is expected to comprise the majority of time spent making a compliance

determination. However, this burden is expected to decline in subsequent years the facility

has developed a system for gathering readily available information or making reasonable

estimates. Based on the economic analysis of the original rulemaking, the burden estimate

for the first year of compliance determination is four times that for subsequent years.

 Supplier Notification (if applicable): Facilities supplying mixtures and trade name

products containing TRI chemicals above de minimis levels must notify their customers of

the contents of their products on an annual basis. This is required so that customers can

make threshold calculations for their own facilities. Facility burden estimates reflect the

median number of hours spent preparing supplier notification per a 1992 survey.

FORM R

 Form R Calculations and Report Completion: Facilities that must report to TRI will

incur additional costs to retrieve, process, review, and transcribe information to complete

each report. Most of the time for form completion is to calculate releases and transfers;

relatively little time is required to copy information to the form. Unless the facility

qualifies for the alternate threshold, the facility must complete one Form R for each

chemical it is reporting. This takes more time in the first year than in subsequent years. 

The subsequent year process consists of verifying and updating data, reviewing previous

calculations, and modifying the information reported on the previous year’s Form R,

rather than originating or retrieving data for the first time. The economic analysis for the

original rulemaking estimated the time required to complete a report on a chemical for the

first time to be 147 percent of the time required in subsequent years.

 Form R Recordkeeping and Mailing : After a facility has completed the form, it incurs

additional burden for recordkeeping. Recordkeeping allows a facility to use the
4

information to make calculations in subsequent years, and as documentation in the event it

receives a compliance audit. Facilities must maintain records such as estimation

methodology and calculations, engineering reports, inventory, incident and reporting logs,

and any other supporting materials needed to provide the information required on the

Form R. Facilities must transmit Form Rs to EPA and State authorities. The estimates for

mailing and recordkeeping include the 1993 update based on the economic analysis of the

proposed rule to amend Form R pursuant to the Pollution Prevention Act. Recordkeeping

and mailing costs are not expected to vary from the first year to subsequent years.

FORM A

 Form A Calculations/Certification: Facilities must gather data and perform calculations

to determine whether they qualify for a Form A. If a facility's annual reportable amount

for a listed toxic chemical is 500 pounds or less, the facility is eligible to apply the

alternate threshold of 1 million pounds manufactured, processed or otherwise used. The

estimates for Form A calculations/certification are taken from the economic analysis of the

alternate threshold. Per the economic analysis of the original rule, these estimates are

multiplied by147 percent to calculate the first-year burden.

 Form A Report Completion: If a facility is eligible to apply the alternate threshold, it

must complete the Form A. The facility completes one Form A that contains certifications

for all the listed toxic chemicals to which it is applying the alternate threshold. The

estimates for report completion are taken from the economic analysis of the alternate

threshold rule. Per the economic analysis of the original rule, these estimates are

multiplied by147 percent to calculate the first-year burden.

 Form A Recordkeeping and Mailing: After a facility has certified a listed toxic

chemical as eligible for the alternate threshold, it incurs additional labor costs for

recordkeeping and mailing. Recordkeeping allows a facility to use the information in

making calculations in subsequent years, and as documentation in the event it receives a

compliance audit. Facilities must transmit Form As to EPA and State authorities. The

estimates for recordkeeping and mailing are taken from the economic analysis of the

alternate threshold rule. Recordkeeping and mailing costs are not expected to vary from

the first year to subsequent years.

Existing unit burden hour estimates by labor category and activity are summarized in

Table 1. Note that rule familiarization, compliance determination, and supplier notification (if

applicable) are incurred at the facility level and do not vary with the number of reports filed. 

Calculations, form completion and recordkeeping/mailing are incurred for each report filed.

Revised Estimates

The main issue with the existing estimates is that they have not been updated to reflect a

variety of factors that have reduced reporting burden, especially after the first reporting year. 

Based on the economic analysis of the original rule, EPA expected that fewer hours would be

required for reporting in subsequent years. However, based on respondent experience it appears

that burden hours have fallen off further over the years than originally expected. The specific

factors contributing to the decline in reporting burden are discussed below.

First, the existing burden hour estimates do not reflect changes in the availability of

information to facility staff. At the beginning of the program, it was assumed that facilities would

have to rely primarily on inventory records, Material Safety Data Sheets, and engineering

estimates. Over time, a variety of other information sources have become more readily available. 

These sources include information on product composition and impurities from suppliers,

improved and detailed guidance from EPA and trade associations, and emission factors provided

by EPA. With the advent of the Internet, facilities have much greater access to information that

assists in complying with the reporting requirements.

Second, facilities now have other state and federal reporting requirements that have been

implemented since the beginning of the TRI program. Although it varies from facility to facility,

these reports may include annual emission inventories, emission monitoring, hazardous waste

generator reports, storm water discharge reports, and waste water discharge reports. Since these

reports are precursors to TRI reporting and can be used to fulfill TRI reporting requirements, they

have the effect of reducing the burden attributable to TRI.

Third, the burden hour estimates were largely developed when computerization and

automation was just beginning. In the late 1980s, many facilities continued to rely on manual

processes for report completion. Over time, facilities have gained much greater access to

electronic reporting and recordkeeping options. There are now a variety of off-the-shelf

computer software packages for environmental compliance, including EPA’s Automated Form R

and the TRI-Made Easy software. Even simple spreadsheet programs like Excel or Lotus 1-2-3

greatly simplify the process of making calculations and updating information from previous

reporting years.

Fourth, the existing burden hour estimates incorporate the assumption that every facility

reports releases of each reported chemical to all environmental media: air, water, and land. This

assumption leads to an overestimate of reporting burden because it implies that facilities will

spend time gathering information, making calculations, and keeping records for a broader set of

chemical management activities than is actually the case. In fact, for the 2000 reporting year, over

60 percent of Form Rs reported releases to a single medium. Another 12 percent reported no

releases, but instead reported only on off-site transfers and on-site waste management. Only 1

percent of Form Rs included release data for all media.
 2 Another approach would be to sum the mid-points of the burden ranges for all facilities, then divide by the

total number of Form Rs submitted by all the facilities. This yields an estimate of 12.6 hours per Form R.

7

The existing burden hour estimates reflect none of these factors. A review of feedback

from reporting facilities reveals that the existing burden hour estimates represent substantial

overestimates of actual reporting burden for most reporting facilities. The existing burden

estimates for subsequent year compliance determination, Form R calculations and form

completion, and recordkeeping/mailing are above the 95th percentile of per form burden reported

by actual TRI respondents.

Estimates of the actual burden incurred by facilities reporting to TRI are available from the

following sources:

 1994 and 1995 Toxic Release Inventory: Data Quality Report

 1996 Toxic Release Inventory: Data Quality Report

 1999 Research Triangle Institute Informal and Formal Surveys of TRI Burden 

The Data Quality Reports are part of an EPA program of site surveys to assess the quality of TRI

data and to identify areas where improved guidance would be useful for improving the accuracy

of future reported data. Sampled facilities are selected to obtain a random group of facilities from

key industries to permit the results to be scaled up to the entire industry group. One of the

questions asked of facilities is how much time is spent to fulfill the reporting requirements of

Section 313 for the most recent reporting year. The Research Triangle Institute surveys were

small scoping activities to identify factors related to variability in facility burden hours. From all

of the sources, there are a total of 180 facilities that provided information about the amount of

time needed to comply with TRI reporting requirements.

Using the estimates of total time expended for reporting and the number of Form Rs for

each facility, it is possible to derive an estimate of average burden hours per Form R per facility.

Most of the facility responses are in the form of range estimates of the total time required to

complete all TRI-related activities. For each facility, the mid-point of the burden hour range was

divided by the number of Form Rs that the facility filed to obtain an estimate of burden per form

for each facility. The facility-level estimates were then averaged. For the 180 facilities in these

sources, the average burden hours per Form R is 14.5 hours.2

 This represents a "subsequent year"

burden since the facilities had reported to TRI in previous years.

Based on the questions asked of the facilities, it would be reasonable to conclude that 14.5

hours per form includes all reporting activities, including compliance determination and

recordkeeping/mailing. The facilities were asked about the total time required to comply with

TRI reporting requirements including familiarization with the regulation and reporting

instructions, completion and internal review of the reporting forms, and all documentation. 

However, for the purposes of this revision, the 14.5 hours per form are only being used to revise

the burden hour estimate for Form R calculations and form completion in subsequent years. The
 3 Additionally, the "typical" facility may be better represented by the median value rather than the mean (or

average) since most of the observations cluster toward the lower end of hours per form. The median value is 8.0

hours per Form R.

8

burden hour estimates for first-year activities, as well as for compliance determination and

recordkeeping/mailing in subsequent years have not been modified. This will result in some

overestimation of unit burden hours at the typical facility.3

The main reason for this approach is that all of the responses used to generate the revised

estimate were obtained prior to promulgation of lower TRI reporting thresholds for lead and

other persistent bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) chemicals. Some commenters on these rules

asserted that lower reporting thresholds would substantially increase unit reporting burden. EPA

did not entirely agree. EPA estimated an incremental compliance determination burden of 2.7

hours in the first year and 0.7 hours in subsequent years for PBT chemicals, and 1.6 hours in the

first year and 0.4 hours in subsequent years for lead. Not revising the burden hour estimates for

facility-level compliance determination and recordkeeping/mailing more than accounts for any

additional time that facilities may spend to make compliance determinations for chemicals with

lower reporting thresholds. In the future, when EPA collects information about facilities that are

filing TRI reports on these chemicals, the responses to questions about burden hours can be used

to revise estimates for all activities rather than just Form R calculations and form completion.

In Table 2 below, the average burden hours per Form R per facility has been used to revise

the "Form R Calculations and Form Completion" activity burden hours. For subsequent years of

reporting, 14.5 hours have been distributed among managerial, technical, and clerical staff based

on the historical percentage split of time between these labor categories for this activity. In

previous analyses, the time required to complete a report in the first year of reporting has

calculated as 147 percent of the time required in subsequent years. It is likely that the same

factors that have reduced subsequent year burden also apply to first year reporting. However,

EPA has chosen not to revise first-year burden hour estimates since all the available observations

apply to subsequent year reporting. While there is a strong possibility that the historical

relationship continues, more data are needed to verify this relationship.

For Form A, the calculations needed to determine eligibility are a subset of the

calculations necessary to complete Form R. Thus, the time required to calculate the annual

reportable amount was estimated in previous ICRs by aggregating EPA’s estimates of the time

required to calculate each of the sections of Form R that are relevant to determining annual

reportable amount. According to these estimates, calculations for a Form A take approximately

64 percent of the time of calculations for the Form R. Based on EPA’s revision to the unit burden

estimates for Form R calculations and form completion, EPA estimates that calculating an annual

reportable amount for Form A will require an average of 9.3 hours for each listed toxic chemical

that the facility must report under EPCRA section 313. Table 2 reflects this revision. As with

Form R, burden estimates for Form A completion or recordkeeping/mailing are unchanged. 

Likewise, estimates for reporting in the first year have not been modified.
 4 Note that one facility among the 9 facilities reported a much higher per chemical burden than the other 8

facilities. Without this outlier, the average of facility-level burden hours per chemical certification would be 3.8 to

4.9 hours per chemical certified.

9

In April 2002, EPA contacted nine facilities that file Form As to inquire about the typical

facility level burden associated with using the reporting form. The total facility level burden

estimates were reported in ranges. Depending on whether the midpoint or maximum of the range

was used, the average of facility-level burden hours per chemical certification was reported at

11.2 to 15.5 hours. EPA’s estimate of 13.7 total hours for a facility certifying one chemical on a

Form A falls within this range.4

 5 EPA expects adoption rates of TRI-ME to increase rapidly. It would be reasonable to assume that adoption

rates would be similar to current levels of electronic filing, which provide an indication of receptivity to computerbased report completion. For the 1999 reporting year, 73 percent of responses were received electronically. For

the 2000 reporting year, this percentage increased to 79 percent. It would not be unreasonable to expect similar

adoption rates for TRI-ME.

11

In an effort to reduce reporting burden further, EPA has developed intelligent software for

the desktop computer called TRIBMade Easy (TRI-ME). This software is designed to assist

facilities in determining and completing their reporting obligations. A small sample of facilities

that tested TRI-ME for the 2000 reporting year reported an average burden reduction of 25

percent in the activities of Form R Calculations and Form Completion and

Recordkeeping/Mailing. For the Form A, this percentage burden reduction estimate can be

applied to the activities of Calculations/Certification and Recordkeeping/Mailing. All facilities

that used TRI-ME said that they would use it again in the future.

The facility responses that are used to revise the burden hour estimates in this memo were

collected with reference to reporting years before the TRI-ME software was available. At the

current time, TRI-ME burden reduction can be assessed against total Form R or Form A

reporting burden using assumptions for TRI-ME adoption rates. In future years, the underlying

adoption rates and burden reduction will be reflected in facility responses about the number of

hours required to comply with TRI reporting requirements. The total estimated annual burden

reduction attributable to TRI-ME at projected 2001 reporting levels assuming a 60 percent

adoption rate is shown below.5
