SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
This
proposal
addresses
the
following
local
rules:
ICAPCD
115,
MCAQMD
400(
b),
and
recission
of
MBUAPCD
209.
In
the
Rules
and
Regulations
section
of
this
Federal
Register,
we
are
approving
these
local
rules
and
rule
recission
in
a
direct
final
action
without
prior
proposal
because
we
believe
these
SIP
revisions
are
not
controversial.
If
we
receive
adverse
comments,
however,
we
will
publish
a
timely
withdrawal
of
the
direct
final
rule
and
address
the
comments
in
subsequent
action
based
on
this
proposed
rule.
Please
note
that
if
we
receive
adverse
comment
on
an
amendment,
paragraph,
or
section
of
this
rule
and
if
that
provision
may
be
severed
from
the
remainder
of
the
rule,
we
may
adopt
as
final
those
provisions
of
the
rule
that
are
not
the
subject
of
an
adverse
comment.
We
do
not
plan
to
open
a
second
comment
period,
so
anyone
interested
in
commenting
should
do
so
at
this
time.
If
we
do
not
receive
adverse
comments,
no
further
activity
is
planned.
For
further
information,
please
see
the
direct
final
action.

Proposed
Rules
published
a
Federal
Register
Notice
of
final
decision
to
adopt
the
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
(
NAICS)
for
the
United
States.
NAICS
is
a
new
industry
classification
system
that
will
replace
the
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
system
that
has
traditionally
been
used
by
government
agencies
for
collecting
statistical
data
and
for
other
administrative
and
regulatory
purposes.
Under
section
313
of
the
Emergency
Planning
and
Community
Right­
to­
Know
Act
of
1986
(
EPCRA)
and
section
6607
of
the
Pollution
Prevention
Act
of
1990
(
PPA),
facilities
that
are
classified
in
specified
SIC
codes
are
subject
to
Toxics
Release
Inventory
(
TRI)
reporting.
In
this
notice,
EPA
is
proposing
to
include
in
the
regulations
the
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
the
TRI
reporting
requirements.
EPA
is
also
proposing
that
faciliteis
that
are
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements
report
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
on
EPCRA
section
313
reporting
forms
for
the
first
full
reporting
period
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule.
Thereafter,
facilities
that
are
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements
would
be
required
to
report
their
NAICS
codes
only.
Finally,
EPA
is
proposing
to
amend
the
regulations
to
extend
the
exemption
provided
therein
to
owners
of
covered
facilities
who
lease,
with
no
other
business
interest,
such
facilities
to
operators
of
establishments
that
are
classified
in
any
SIC
code
or
NAICS
code
that
is
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
EPA
is
soliciting
comments
on
these
proposals
and
on
a
list
of
NAICS
codes
that
will
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.
DATES:
Written
comments,
identified
by
the
docket
control

must
be

EPA
on

Proposed
Rules
II.
What
Is
EPA's
Statutory
Authority
for
Taking
This
Action?

This
proposed
rule
is
being
issued
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
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.
However,
Congress
provided
no
guidance
as
to
how
such
activities
should
be
described.
In
the
past,
EPA
has
required
owners
and
operators
of
such
facilities
to
identify
their
principal
business
activities
by
reporting,
among
other
things,
their
primary,
and
any
other
applicable
SIC
codes
for
the
facility.
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
is
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
part
372
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA.
EPA
is
further
proposing
that
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
are
subject
to
section
313
identify
their
principal
business
activities
by
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
for
the
first
full
reporting
year
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule,
and
thereafter
by
NAICS
code
only.
Finally,
EPA
is
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
372.38(
e)
to
extend
the
exemption
provided
therein
to
owners
of
covered
facilities
who
lease,
with
no
other
business
interest,
such
facilities
to
operators
of
establishments
that
are
classified
in
any
SIC
code
or
NAICS
code
that
is
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
III.
Overview
of
Proposed
Rule
In
this
notice,
EPA
is
proposing
to
include
in
40
CFR
part
372
the
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.
The
purpose
of
this
proposal
would
be
to
facilitate
the
transition
from
reporting
of
SIC
codes
on
TRI
reporting
forms
to
reporting
of
NAICS
codes.
This
proposed
rule
would
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
proposing
to
add
or
delete
industry
groups
from
the
list
of
industries
that
are
currently
subject
to
section
313
reporting
requirements.
EPA
would
simply
be
assigning
NAICS
codes
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.
Accordingly,
consistent
with
the
language
of
section
313(
a)(
1)(
A),
SIC
codes
would
still
remain
in
the
proposed
regulatory
text
as
the
basis
for
identifying
the
industries
that
are
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
EPA
is
also
proposing
amendments
to
40
CFR
372.38(
g)
and
(
h),
and
40
CFR
372.45
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
that
will
be
subject
to
the
exemption
and
notification
requirements
of
those
sections.
Finally,
EPA
is
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
372.38(
e)
to
extend
the
exemption
provided
therein
to
owners
of
covered
facilities
who
lease,
with
no
other
business
interest,
such
facilities
to
operators
of
establishments
that
are
classified
in
any
SIC
code
or
NAICS
code
that
is
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.

IV.
Background
A.
What
Is
TRI
and
Which
Facilities
Are
Currently
Required
To
Report
to
TRI?
Section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA
require
owners
and
operators
of
certain
facilities
called
``
covered
facilities''
to
annually
report
to
EPA
and
State
governments
their
releases
and
other
waste
management
quantities
of
listed
toxic
chemicals.
42
U.
S.
C.
11023,
13106.
In
general,
a
covered
facility
is
one
that:
(
1)
Manufactures,
processes,
or
otherwise
uses
one
or
more
listed
toxic
chemicals
in
excess
of
specified
threshold
quantities;
(
2)
has
10
or
more
full
time
employees
or
the
equivalent
20,000
hours
per
year,
and;
(
3)
is
classified
in
an
applicable
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
code.
42
U.
S.
C.
11023(
b)(
1)(
A);
40
CFR
372.22.
Information
collected
pursuant
to
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
PPA
is
organized
into
a
national
data
base
called
the
Toxics
Release
Inventory
(
TRI)
which
is
readily
accessible
to
the
public,
researchers,
industry,
government
agencies,
and
other
interested
parties.
When
Congress
enacted
EPCRA,
it
specifically
identified
the
manufacturing
sector,
which
included
facilities
in
SIC
major
group
codes
20
through
39,
as
being
subject
to
the
reporting
requirements
of
section
313.
See
Section
313(
a)(
1)(
A)
which
states:

The
requirements
of
this
section
shall
apply
to
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
have
10
or
more
full
time
employees
and
that
are
in
Standard
Industrial
Classification
Codes
20
through
39
(
as
in
effect
on
July
1,
1985)
and
that
manufactured,
processed
or
otherwise
used
a
toxic
chemical
listed
under
subsection
(
c)
of
this
section
in
excess
of
the
quantity
of
that
chemical
established
under
subsection
(
f)
of
this
section
during
the
calendar
year
for
which
a
release
form
is
required
under
this
section.

In
addition,
pursuant
to
section
313(
b)(
1)(
B),
EPA
added
seven
industry
groups
to
the
list
of
industries
required
to
report
to
TRI.
See
62
FR
23833,
May
1,
1997
(
hereinafter
referred
to
as
the
Industry
Expansion
Rule).
These
industries
included
metal
mining,
coal
mining,
electrical
utilities
that
combust
coal
and/
or
oil
for
the
purpose
of
generating
power
for
distribution
in
commerce,
certain
facilities
regulated
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA)
subtitle
C,
chemical
wholesalers,
petroleum
terminals
and
bulk
stations
and
solvent
recovery
services.
As
a
result,
those
facilities
with
the
following
SIC
code
designations
(
that
meet
all
other
applicable
threshold
criteria
for
TRI
reporting)
must
report
toxic
chemical
releases
and
other
waste
management
quantities
of
toxic
chemicals
each
year:
SIC
major
group
codes
10
(
except
1011,
1081,
and
1094),
12
(
except
1241),
or
20
through

4911,
4931,
or
4939
(
limited
to
facilities
that
combust
coal
and/
or
oil
for
the
purpose
of
generating
power
for
distribution
in
commerce);
or

statistics.
OMB's
Economic
Classification
Policy
Committee
(
ECPC)
developed
NAICS
in
cooperating
with
the
Instituto
Nacional
de
Estadi
´
stica,
Geografi
´
a
e
Informa
´
tica
(
INEGI)
of
Mexico
and
Statistics
Canada,
in
order
to
standardize
the
industrial
statistics
produced
by
the
three
countries.
It
was
felt
that
the
SIC
system
was
inadequate
for
this
purpose,
in
part
because
it
classified
industries
on
the
basis
of
several
different
economic
concepts.
NAICS,
on
the
other
hand,
classifies
establishments
according
to
similarities
in
the
processes
used
to
produce
goods
and
services.
NAICS
is
the
first
industry
classification
system
developed
in
accordance
with
a
single
principle
of
aggregation,
the
principle
that
producing
units
that
use
similar
production
processes
should
be
grouped
together
in
the
classification.
Notwithstanding
its
primary
function
as
a
tool
to
aid
in
the
collection
and
organization
of
industrial
statistical
information,
OMB
recognized
that
NAICS,
like
its
predecessor,
SIC,
may
also
be
effectively
used
for
nonstatistical
purposes
including
administrative,
tax
and
regulatory
programs.
However,
in
its
notice
of
final
decision
adopting
NAICS
for
the
United
States,
OMB
instructed
the
heads
of
government
agencies
to
determine
that
NAICS
industry
definitions
are
appropriate
for
the
implementation
of
such
programs
before
agencies
use
NAICS
codes
in
them.
See
62
FR
17288,
17294.
For
the
reasons
discussed
in
Unit
IV.
D.
below,
EPA's
Administrator
has
determined
that
NAICS
industry
definitions
will
be
appropriate
for
implementing
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA.
EPA
is
therefore
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
part
372
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
the
reporting
requirements
of
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA.
In
addition,
EPA
is
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
372.85(
b)(
5)
and
372.95(
b)(
10)
such
that
covered
facilities
would
report
their
appropriate
NAICS
codes
on
the
TRI
reporting
form,
Form,
R,
and
in
Alternate
Threshold
Certification
Statements,
Form
A,
where
applicable.
Covered
facilities
would
be
required
to
report
both
their
appropriate
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
on
Form
R
and
on
the
Alternate
Threshold
Certification
Statements
for
the
first
full
reporting
year
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule,
and
thereafter
their
NAICS
codes
only.
EPA
is
also
proposing
amendments
to
40
CFR
372.38(
g)
and
(
h),
and
40
CFR
372.45
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
that
will
be
subject
to
the
exemption
and
notification
requirements
of
those
sections.
Finally,
EPA
is
proposing
to
amend
40
CFR
372.38(
e)
to
extend
the
exemption
provided
therein
to
owners
of
covered
facilities
who
lease,
with
no
other
business
interest,
such
facilities
to
operators
of
establishment
that
are
classified
in
any
SIC
code
or
NAICS
code
that
is
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.
EPA
solicits
your
comments
on
these
proposals
and
welcomes
your
suggestions
for
facilitating
the
transition
of
TRI
reporting
from
SIC
codes
to
NAICS
codes.

C.
Will
This
Proposed
Rule
Affect
the
Universe
of
Facilities
That
Are
Currently
Required
To
Report
to
TRI?
This
proposed
rule
would
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
proposing
to
add
or
delete
industry
groups
from
the
list
of
industries
that
are
currently
subject
to
section
313
reporting
requirements.
EPA
is
simply
assigning
NAICS
codes
to
those
SIC
codes
that
are
already
subject
to
section
313
reporting
requirements,
and
requiring
covered
facilities
in
those
industries
to
report
the
NAICS
code
that
corresponds
to
the
covered
SIC
code.
For
purposes
of
TRI
reporting,
section
313
defines
covered
facilities
in
terms
of
SIC
codes.
Facilities
in
the
affected
SIC
codes
are
required
to
report,
regardless
of
how
those
facilities
are
designated
in
other
nomenclature
systems.
Because
inclusion
in
a
specific
SIC
code
is
what
triggers
the
reporting
obligation,
to
use
NAICS
codes,
EPA
must
be
able
to
``
cross­
walk''
reliably
between
SIC
codes
and
NAICS
codes.
However,
SIC
codes
and
NAICS
codes
do
not
always
correspond
directly;
certain
industries
that
are
classified
in
the
``
manufacturing''
sector
in
SIC
(
i.
e.,
SIC
codes
20
through
39),
and
therefore
are
subject
to
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA,
are
not
classified
in
the
``
manufacturing''
sector
in
NAICS
(
i.
e.,
NAICS
codes
31
through
33).
For
example,
Lumber
and
Wood
Products
(
SIC
24)
corresponds
to
Logging
(
NAICS
11331),
which
is
a
nonmanufacturing
industry
in
NAICS.
EPA
has
identified
18
SIC
manufacturing
industries
that
are
currently
subject
to
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA
that
are
not
classified
as
NAICS
manufacturing
industries.
Owners
and
operators
of
such
facilities
would
continue
to
report
under
the
appropriate
NAICS
designations
(
provided
they
meet
all
other
applicable
TRI
reporting
criteria),
despite
the
fact
that
the
facilities
are
not
classified
in
a
manufacturing
industry
in
NAICS.
Conversely,
EPA
has
identified
26
SIC
industries
that
are
not
currently
subject
to
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA,
but
which
are
classified
as
NAICS
manufacturing
industries.
For
example,
retail
bakeries
are
classified
in
the
retail
sector
in
SIC
(
SIC
5461),
but
are
classified
in
the
manufacturing
sector
in
NAICS
(
NAICS
311811).
As
explained
above,
because
this
current
action
is
not
intended
to
add
to
or
delete
from
the
list
of
industry
groups
that
is
currently
subject
to
TRI,
the
individual
facilities
not
included
in
the
SIC
manufacturing
codes
will
not
be
required
to
report
simply
because
NAICS
places
the
industry
in
the
manufacturing
sector.

D.
Why
Is
EPA
Proposing
To
Use
NAICS
in
Addition
to
SIC
for
Section
313
and
Section
6607
Reporting
Purposes?
EPA
believes
it
is
appropriate
to
amend
40
CFR
part
372
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements
for
several
reasons.
First,
the
SIC
manual
has
not
been
updated
since
1987
despite
significant
changes
in
the
national
economy,
and
limitations
in
the
structure
of
the
SIC
system
have
led
to
difficulties
in
classifying
new
and
emerging
industries.
(
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
manual,
1997,
p.
21).
As
a
result,
the
existing
SIC
systems
does
not
reflect
many
of
the
important
changes
that
have
occurred
within
the
national
economy
over
the
last
decade
or
so.
More
importantly,
it
will
not
be
updated
in
the
future
because
of
OMB's
adoption
of
NAICS
as
the
United
States'
new
industry
classification
system.
Accordingly,
facilities
that
come
into
existence
in
the
future
will
not
have
experience
using
SIC
codes
and
may
have
difficulty
determining
whether
or
not
they
are
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
Moreover,
as
OMB
has
recognized,
the
SIC
system
is
somewhat
cumbersome
and
inflexible
to
use
because
it
classifies
industries
on
the
basis
of
several
economic
principles
rather
than
a
single,
consistent
principle
(
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
manual,
1997,
p.
21).
NAICS,
on
the
other
hand,
represents
a
more
targeted
approach
to
industry
classification,
focusing
primarily
on
production
processes.
Finally,
the
conversion
to
NAICS
is
part
of
EPA's
data
standards
program,
which
helps
promote
efficient
data
exchange
and
integration
through
consistently
defined
and
formatted
data.
Using
NAICS
for
TRI
reporting
purposes
will
enable

V.
How
Did
EPA
Develop
This
Proposal
and
What
Are
the
Issues
on
Which
EPA
Is
Interested
in
Receiving
Comment?

A.
The
Manufacturing
Sector:
SIC
Codes
20
Through
39
This
proposal
to
include
the
NAICS
codes
in
40
CFR
part
372
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
the
TRI
requirements
is
being
undertaken
with
the
goal
of
maintaining
coverage
of
all
facilities
that
are
currently
required
to
report
releases
and
waste
management
quantities
of
listed
toxic
chemicals.
As
noted
above
in
Unit
IV.
C.,
if
the
TRI
Program
were
to
adopt
a
straight
1:
1
identification
of
NAICS
facilities
to
be
covered
(
e.
g.,
SIC
Manufacturing
facilities
(
20
 
39)
 
NAICS
Manufacturing
facilities
(
31
 
33)),
many
currently
covered
facilities
would
no
longer
be
covered
and
other
facilities
that
are
not
covered
now
would
be
added
to
the
list
of
covered
facilities.
This
would
not
be
consistent
with
the
statutory
requirements.
Therefore,
to
avoid
this
problem,
the
TRI
Program
developed
an
extensive
SIC
 
NAICS
 
SIC
crosswalk
document
based
on
U.
S.
Census
Bureau
SIC 
NAICS
and
NAICS 
SIC
conversion
tables
in
order
to
identify
the
universe
of
NAICS
codes
that
correspond
to
covered
SIC
does.

htm]
From
the
crosswalk
document,
EPA
is
developing
a
web­
based
crosswalk
tool
for
users
that
links
all
4­
digit
SIC
codes
that
are
subject
to
TRI
requirements
to
6­
digit
NAICS
codes
that
would
also
be
subject
to
such
requirements.
EPA
developed
its
crosswalk
document
and
is
developing
the
crosswalk
tool
by
carefully
mapping
each
SIC
code
to
its
corresponding
NAICS
code
or
codes,
and
the
mapping
each
of
the
resulting
NAICS
codes
back
to
SIC.
More
specifically,
for
each
3­
digit
industry
subsector
in
the
NAICS
manufacturing
sector
(
i.
e.,
NAICS
311
through
339),
EPA
checked
the
Census
Bureau's
NAICS
to
SIC
crosswalk
table
at
http://
www.
census.
gov/
to
find
industries
that
are
not
in
the
SIC
manufacturing
sector
(
SIC
codes
20
through
39),
but
which
have
been
classified
as
manufacturing
industries
under
NAICS.
Similarly,
EPA
checked
the
Census
Bureau's
SIC
to
NAICS
crosswalk
table
to
find
SIC
manufacturing
industries
that
are
not
classified
in
the
NAICS
manufacturing
sector.
By
conducting
this
mapping,
EPA
was
able
to
develop
a
list
of
NAICS
codes
that
corresponds
to
the
list
of
manufacturing
sector
SIC
codes
that
are
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
A
hard
copy
of
the
Census
Bureau's
SIC/
NAICS
crosswalk
document
is
included
in
the
docket
for
this
proposed
rule.
It
is
possible
that
new
NAICS
codes
will
be
created
in
the
future.
In
the
event
that
the
Census
Bureau
does
not
update
its
crosswalk
to
provide
corresponding
SIC
codes
when
newlycreated
NAICS
codes
are
published,
EPA
would
formally
request
such
a
determination
from
the
Census
Bureau.
Should
the
Census
Bureau
decline
the
request,
EPA
would
rely
on
information
such
as
the
definition
of
the
newlycreated
NAICS
codes
and
how
closely
that
definition
tracks
the
definitions
of
covered
SIC
codes,
the
types
of
activities
that
are
undertaken
by
facilities
that
are
classified
in
the
new
NAICS
code,
whether
the
facilities
that
are
classified
in
the
new
NAICS
code
were
previously
classified
in
a
covered
SIC
or
NAICS
code,
and
other
relevant
information.
In
general,
NAICS
manufacturing
industries
that
would
be
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements
would
be
identified
by
their
3­
digit
subsector
codes
(
e.
g.,
NAICS
311,
324,
339).
In
some
cases,
all
of
the
six
digit
NAICS
industries
that
are
included
within
the
3­
digit
NAICS
industry
subsector
would
be
subject
to
TRI
requirements
(
i.
e.,
all
6
digit
NAICS
industries
within
that
subsector
correspond
to
industries
with
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
requirements).
The
following
NAICS
manufacturing
subsectors
contain
NAICS
industries,
all
of
which
would
be
subject
to
TRI
requirements:
NAICS
316,
Leather
and
Allied
Product
Manufacturing;
NAICS
321,
Wood
Product
Manufacturing;
NAICS
322,
Paper
Manufacturing;
NAICS
324,
Petroleum
and
Coal
Products
Manufacturing;
NAICS
327,
Nonmentaallic
Mineral
Product
Manufacturing;
NAICS
331,
Primary
Metal
Manufacturing;
NAICS
332
Fabricated
Metal
Product
Manufacturing;
NAICS
333,
Machinery
Manufacturing;
and
NAICS
336,
Transportation
Equipment
Manufacturing.
In
other
cases,
some,
but
not
all,
of
the
6
digit
NAICS
industries
contained
within
a
3­
digit
NAICS
subsector
would
be
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
Exceptions
from
the
reporting
requirements
are
provided
for
industries
that
were
previously
classified
outside
of
the
SIC
manufacturing
sector
(
SIC
codes
20
through
39)
but
are
not
classified
within
the
NAICS
manufacturing
sector
(
NAICS
codes
31
through
33).
NAICS
industry
exceptions
are
identified
by
their
6­
digit
NAICS
code
and
NAICS
industry
description,
and
also
by
their
corresponding
SIC
code
and
SIC
industry
description.
For
purposes
of
this
preamble
and
the
proposed
rule,
EPA
has
defined
``
previously
classified''
to
mean
a
facility
that
was
properly
classified,
according
to
40
CFR
372.22(
b),
under
a
given
Standard
Industrial
Classification
code,
as
identified
in
the
Standard
Industrial
Classification
Manual,
1987,
Executive
Office
of
the
President,
Office
of
Management
and
Budget.
See
section
372.3
of
the
proposed
regulatory
text;
see
generally,
Executive
Office
of
the
President,
Office
of
Management
and
Budget,
Standard
Industrial
Classification
Manual,
1987.
Accordingly,
owners
or
operators
of
facilities
that
are
properly
classified
in
the
excepted
industries
because
they
were
properly
classified
in
a
SIC
industry
that
is
not
currently
subject
to
TRI
requirements
would
not
report
to
TRI
under
this
proposal.
Conversely,
owners
or
operators
of
manufacturing
facilities
that
are,
or
have
been,
improperly
classifying
their
facilities
in
SIC
codes
that
are
not
currently
subject
to
TRI
would
report
to
TRI
under
this
proposal.
Industry
exceptions
are
limited
to
specific
types
of
industries
when
it
is
necessary
to
do
so
to
ensure
that
the
covered
facilities
under
NAICS
are
identical
to
those
under
SIC.
For
example,
under
NAICS
311
(
Food
Manufacturing),
NAICS
311612
(
defined
as
``
Meat
Processed
from
Carcasses''),
is
listed
as
an
industry
exception.
However,
NAICS
311612
includes
industries
that
were
classified
in
SIC
2013,
``
Sausages
and
Other
Prepared
Meat
Products,''
and
in
SIC
5147,
``
Meats
and
Meat
Products.''
Facilities
that
were
previously
classified
in
the
former
industry
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
requirements
whereas
those
that
were
previously
classified
in
the
latter
industry
are
not.
Accordingly,
the
exception
for
NAICS
311612
applies
only
to
those
facilities
that
were
previously
classified
in
SIC
5147.
All
other
facilities
included
in
NAICS
311612
would
report
if
they
satisfy
the
applicable
reporting
criteria
Similarly,
under
NAICS
325
(
Chemical
Manufacturing),
there
is
an
exception
for
certain
facilities
classified
in
NAICS
325998
(
Miscellaneous
Chemical
Product
and
Preparation
Manufacturing).
This
exception
is
limited
to
facilities
primarily
engaged
in
filling
pressure
containers
(
i.
e.,
aerosol
containers)
on
a
job
order
or
contract

Proposed
Rules
basis
that
were
previously
classified
under
SIC
7389
(
Business
Services,
Not
Elsewhere
Classified).
However,
those
facilities
that
fill
pressure
containers
on
a
job
order
or
contract
basis
that
were
previously
classified
in
the
manufacturing
sector
under
the
SIC
system
because
they
are
primarily
engaged
in
activities,
such
as
blending
of
chemicals,
that
are
considered
under
the
SIC
to
be
manufacturing
activities,
would
continue
to
report
to
TRI.
One
of
the
industry
exceptions
in
NAICS
311,
under
311119,
Food
Manufacturing,
includes
facilities
that
are
primarily
engaged
in
Custom
Grain
Grinding
for
Animal
Feed.
Facilities
that
conduct
custom
milling
of
animal
feed
and
those
that
provide
mobile
feed
milling
services
that
were
previously
classified
under
SIC
2048,
Prepared
Feeds
and
Feed
Ingredients
for
Animals
and
Fowls,
Except
Dogs
and
Cats,
are
not
included
in
this
exception.
At
the
end
of
the
list
of
3­
digit
NAICS
manufacturing
subsector
codes
and
exceptions
that
appears
in
this
preamble
in
Unit
V.
D.
1.,
there
is
a
list
of
additional
6­
digit
NAICS
industries.
Some
of
these
industries
are
the
NAICS
equivalents
of
the
SIC
industries
that
were
added
to
TRI
in
the
Industry
Expansion
Rule.
See
Unit
V.
B.
below.
Others
were
considered
manufacturing
industries
under
SIC,
but
are
not
considered
manufacturing
industries
under
NAICS.
For
example,
whereas
SIC
treats
establishments
that
produce
maple
syrup
from
maple
sap
as
manufacturing
establishments
classified
in
SIC
2099
(
Food
Preparations,
NEC,
Reducing
Maple
Sap
to
Maple
Syrup),
NAICS
treats
establishments
engaged
in
maple
syrup
production
as
an
agricultural
activity
and
classifies
such
establishments
in
NAICS
111998
(
All
Other
Miscellaneous
Crop
Farming).
Despite
the
NAICS
classification,
establishments
that
reduce
maple
sap
to
maple
syrup
are
still
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
See
Unit
IV.
C.
above.
Another
notable
example
of
a
SIC
manufacturing
industry
which
is
no
longer
classified
as
such
in
NAICS
is
SIC
3295
(
Minerals
and
Earths,
Ground
or
Otherwise
Treated).
This
SIC
industry
is
composed
of
establishments
operating
without
a
mine
or
quarry
and
that
are
primarily
engaged
in
crushing,
grinding,
pulverizing,
or
otherwise
preparing
clay,
ceramic,
and
refractory
minerals;
barite;
and
miscellaneous
nonmetallic
minerals,
except
fuels
(
Standard
Industrial
Classification
Manual,
1987,
p.
170).
Such
establishments
are
now
classified
within
various
industries
in
the
mining
sector
in
NAICS
(
NAICS
code
21),
but
they
are
still
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements.

B.
Industries
Added
to
TRI
in
the
Industry
Expansion
Rule
For
the
mining
industry
and
for
most
of
the
other
industries
that
were
added
to
the
list
of
industries
that
are
required
to
report
under
the
Industry
Expansion
Rule
(
62
FR
23833),
the
crosswalk
from
SIC
to
NAICS
based
on
the
Census
Bureau's
crosswalk
tables
was
more
straightforward.
The
metal
mining
industry,
SIC
major
group
10
(
except
1011,
1081,
and
1094),
converted
to
NAICS
212221
(
Gold
Ore
Mining),
212222
(
Silver
Ore
Mining),
212231
(
Lead
Ore
and
Zinc
Mining),
212234
(
Copper
Ore
and
Mickel
Ore
Mining),
and
212299
(
All
Other
Metal
Ore
Mining).
The
coal
mining
industry,
SIC
major
group
12
(
except
1241),
consists
of
three
4­
digit
SIC
codes
that
convert
to
three
6­
digit
NAICS
codes:
212111
(
Bituminous
Coal
and
Lignite
Surface
Mining),
212112
(
Bituminous
Coal
Underground
Mining),
and
212113
(
Anthracite
Mining).
For
electric
utilities
subject
to
TRI
requirements,
three
4­
digit
SIC
codes­
4911,
4931,
and
4939­
convert
to
six
6­
digit
NAICS
codes,
all
within
NAICS
221,
the
Utilities
subsector
of
the
Utilities
sector:
221111
(
Hydroelectric
Power
Generation),
221112
(
Fossil
Fuel
Electric
Power
Generation,
221113
(
Nuclear
Electric
Power
Generation),
221119
(
All
Other
Electric
Power
Generation),
221121
(
Electric
Power
Bulk
Transmission
and
Control),
and
221122
(
Electric
Power
Distribution).
SIC
4953,
Refuse
Systems,
for
which
TRI
reporting
is
limited
to
facilities
regulated
under
RCRA
Subtitle
C,
converts
to
five
6­
digit
NAICS
codes,
all
within
NAICS
562,
the
Waste
Management
and
Remediation
Services
subsector
of
the
Administrator
and
Support
and
Waste
Management
and
Remediation
Services
sector:
562920
(
Materials
Recovery
Facilities),
562211
(
Hazardous
Waste
Treatment
and
Disposal),
562212
(
Solid
Waste
Landfill),
562213
(
Solid
Waste
Combustors
and
Incinerators),
and
562219
(
Other
Nonhazardous
Waste
Treatment
and
Disposal).
SIC
5169,
Chemicals
and
Allied
Products­
Wholesale,
converts
to
only
one
6­
digit
NAICS
code:
422690
(
Other
Chemical
and
Allied
Products
Wholesalers).
In
the
Census
Bureau
SIC
and
NAICS
crosswall
tables,
SIC
5171,
Petroleum
Bulk
Stations
and
Terminals,
is
represented
by
one
NAICS
wholesale
code
(
4117,
Petroleum
Bull
Stations
and
Terminals)
and
two
NAICS
retail
codes
(
454311,
Heating
Oil
Dealers
and
454312,
Liquefied
Petroleum
Gas
(
Bottled
Gas
Dealers),
even
though
SIC
5171
includes
only
establishments
primarily
engaged
in
the
wholesale
distribution
of
crude
petroleum
and
petroleum
products
from
bulk
liquid
storage
facilities.
Only
facilities
that
are
primarily
engaged
in
the
wholesale
distribution
of
crude
petroleum
and
petroleum
products
from
bulk
liquid
storage
facilities.
Only
facilities
that
are
primarily
engaged
in
the
wholesale
distribution
of
crude
petroleum
and
petroleum
products
from
bulk
liquid
storage
facilities
are
required
to
report
waste
management
quantities
and
toxic
chemical
releases
to
the
TRI.
Accordingly,
facilities
in
NAICS
42271
(
Petroleum
Bulk
Stations
and
Terminals)
are
subjects
to
TRI
requirements
and
those
in
454311
and
454312
are
not.
Retail
facilities
were
never
covered
under
EPCRA
313,
nor
do
they
meet
the
definition
of
SIC
5171
which
includes
establishments
that
are
primarily
engaged
in
the
wholesale
distribution
of
crude
petroleum
and
petroleum
products.
Finally,
the
crosswalk
documents
developed
by
the
Census
Bureau
do
not
identify
a
NAICS
code
or
codes
that
correspond
to
SIC
7389,
Solvent
Recovery
Services
(
on
a
contract
or
fee
basis).
However,
with
guidance
from
representatives
of
the
Census
Bureau,
EPA
has
concluded
that
NAICS
562112,
Collection
of
Hazardous
Waste,
is
one
of
two
correct
conversions
for
SIC
7389,
Solvent
Recovery
Services
(
on
a
contract
or
fee
basis).
[
U.
S.
Census
Bureau
letter
from
Mark
E.
Wallace
to
Maria
J.
Doa,
U.
S.
EPA].
Establishments
with
a
primary
SIC
code
of
4212,
Local
Trucking
Without
Storage
(
hazardous
waste
collection
without
disposal),
are
also
included
in
NAICS
562112.
However,
because
facilities
having
a
primary
SIC
code
of
4212
are
not
currently
subject
to
TRI
requirements,
they
would
not
report.
Solvent
recovery
services
(
on
a
contract
or
fee
basis)
that
purify,
recycle
or
otherwise
treat
solvents
collected
are
also
classified
in
manufacturing
according
to
the
material(
s)
purified,
recycled,
or
otherwise
treated.
[
U.
S.
Census
Bureau
letter
from
Mark
E.
Wallace
to
Maria
J.
Doa,
U.
S.
EPA].
For
toxic
solvents,
these
facilities
will
fall
under
NAICS
subsector
325,
Chemical
Manufacturing.

C.
Auxiliary
Facilities
Auxiliary
facilities
that
are
classified
in
covered
SIC
codes
are
subject
to
EPCRA
section
313
reporting
requirements.
Today's
proposal
does
not
affect
the
status
of
auxiliary
facilities
for
purposes
of
reporting
under
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA.
However,

the
transition
year,

Proposed
Rules
when
covered
facilities
would
report
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes,
off­
site
auxiliary
establishments
would
report
both
the
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
of
the
establishment
or
facility
for
which
they
perform
support
services.
Thereafter,
such
facilities
would
report
only
the
NAICS
code
of
the
establishment
or
facility
for
which
it
performs
support
services.
Similarly,
during
the
transition
year,
on­
site
auxiliary
establishments
that
report
independently
from
the
other
establishments
in
the
facility
would
report
both
the
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
of
the
covered
establishment
or
facility
for
which
it
performs
support
services.
Thereafter,
such
facilities
would
report
only
the
NAICS
code
of
the
establishment
or
facility
for
which
it
performs
support
services.

D.
Which
NAICS
Codes
Will
Be
Subject
to
Tri
Requirements
Under
This
Proposed
Rule?
EPA
has
preliminarily
determined
that
facilities
with
the
following
NAICS
codes
(
and
auxiliary
facilities
that
provide
support
services
for
them)
would
report
their
toxic
chemical
releases
and
other
waste
management
activities
to
TRI.
Once
final,
this
list
will
be
used
for
regulatory
and
enforcement
purposes.
As
noted
above,
it
is
EPA's
intent
to
include
only
NAICS
codes
and
industry
descriptions
on
this
list
that
correspond
to
SIC
codes
and
industry
descriptions
that
are
currently
covered
by
EPCRA
section
313.

How
Will
Section
313
Reporting
Requirements
Change
as
a
Result
of
This
Proposal?
TRI
reporting
requirements
would
remain
substantially
the
same
under
this
proposal
as
they
are
now.
The
difference
is
that,
except
for
the
first
full
reporting
year
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule,
covered
facilities
would
be
reporting
their
primary
and
secondary
NAICS
codes
on
Form
R
and
on
Alternate
Threshold
Certification
Statements
rather
than
their
primary
and
secondary
SIC
codes.
Because
the
statute
identifies
covered
facilites
by
SIC
code,
the
industries
subject
to
TRI
requirements
would
continue
to
be
identified
in
the
regulatory
text
by
SIC
code,
although
the
text
would
be
amended
to
include
NAICS
codes
as

Proposed
Rules
well.
See
40
CFR
372.22(
b)
and
372.23
of
the
proposed
regulatory
text
below.
This
is
primarily
to
help
owners
or
operators
of
covered
facilities
identify
the
appropriate
NAICS
code
to
be
used
on
reporting
forms.
By
continuing
to
use
SIC
codes
in
the
regulatory
text,
EPA
can
ensure
that
currently
covered
facilities
will
continue
to
be
covered
even
if
EPA
made
a
mistake
in
the
translation
from
SIC
codes
to
NAICS
codes.
Finally,
the
owner
or
operator
of
a
covered
facility
might
come
to
a
different
conclusion
than
EPA
did
with
respect
to
the
NAICS
code
that
corresponds
to
the
facility's
SIC
code.
If
the
regulatory
text
only
included
NAICS
codes,
the
owner
or
operator
of
such
a
facility
might
assume
that
she
is
no
longer
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
The
proposed
regulatory
text
would
ensure
that
the
owner
or
operator
would
understand
that
she
must
continue
to
report
regardless
of
whether
or
not
she
agrees
with
EPA's
determination
on
the
NAICS
code
that
most
appropriately
corresponds
to
her
facility's
SIC
code.
In
sum,
facilities
that
are
currently
reporting
to
TRI
because
they
are
classified
in
SIC
codes
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
reporting
requirements
would
continue
to
report
under
this
proposed
rule
if
they
satisfy
the
applicable
reporting
criteria.
EPA
is
proposing
that
owners
or
operators
of
covered
facilities
report
bot
SIC
codes
and
NAICS
codes
during
the
first
full
reporting
period
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule.
Reporting
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
for
the
first
full
reporting
period
is
necessary
to
facilitate
continued
time­
series
analysis
of
the
TRI
data.
Each
year,
TRI
data
are
compiled,
analyzed
and
presented
to
the
public
in
a
report
called
the
Toxics
Release
Inventory
Public
Data
Release.
A
substantial
part
of
the
report
is
devoted
to
an
analysis
of
the
data
by
industry
group
for
the
current
year
and
over
time.
Industry­
specific
and
chemical­
specific
on­
and
off­
site
releases
and
other
waste
management
data
are
analyzed
for
the
most
recent
reporting
year,
from
1988
to
the
present
for
TRI's
original
release
and
transfer
categories
(
since
1991
for
the
other
waste
management
data),
and
from
1998
to
the
present
for
new
industries
reporting
to
TRI
since
1998.
Time­
series
analyses
of
TRI
data
are
critical
for
reviewing
trends
in
overall
releases
and
management
of
waste
and
for
measuring
industry
progress
in
these
areas.
For
example,
the
2000
TRI
Public
Data
Release
(
presenting
1998
data)
includes
a
table
that
presents
percent
change
in
total
TRI
on­
site
and
off­
site
releases
for
each
of
the
19
manufacturing
industries,
designated
by
their
2­
digit
SIC
major
group
code.
In
all
but
one
of
the
manufacturing
categories,
total
on­
and
off­
site
releases
decreased
from
1988
to
1998,
in
several
industries
by
well
over
50%.
In
order
to
continue
to
present
these
types
of
important
analyses
to
the
public,
careful
tracking
of
code
changes
during
the
SIC
to
NAICS
transition
is
critical.
Moreover,
a
dual
reporting
requirement
for
the
transition
reporting
period
will
be
useful
in
fine
tuning
the
list
of
NAICS
industries
that
corresponds
to
the
list
of
SIC
industries
that
are
currently
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
The
dual
reporting
for
the
transition
reporting
period
will
serve
as
an
extra
quality
assurance
measure
to
ensure
that
with
the
transition
to
reporting
by
NAICS
code,
no
additional
industry
groups
are
inadvertently
added,
and
that
all
currently
reporting
industries
are
included.
EPA
has
concluded
that
the
additional
burden
associated
with
requiring
covered
facilities
to
report
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
for
one
year
is
negligible.
See
the
discussion
below
in
Unit
VI.

F.
Why
Is
EPA
Proposing
To
Extend
the
Exemption
in
40
CFR
372.38(
e)?

The
TRI
regulations
40
CFR
372.38(
e)
exempt
from
TRI
reporting
requirements,
``
owners
of
facilities
such
as
industrial
parks,
all
or
part
of
which
are
leased
to
persons
who
operate
establishments
within
SIC
code
20
through
39
where
the
owner
has
no
other
business
interest
in
the
operation
of
the
covered
facility.''
The
exemption
acknowledges
the
difficulties
in
requiring
such
an
owner
to
report
when
he
is
not
in
a
position
which
would
allow
him
to
determine
compliance
or
report
the
required
information.
53
FR
4499,
4502.
EPA
believes
it
is
appropriate
to
extend
this
exemption
to
owners
of
facilities
that
lease
such
facilities
to
operators
of
establishments
within
the
SIC
codes
added
to
TRI
in
the
Industry
Expansion
Rule,
when
such
owners
have
no
other
business
interest
in
the
operation
of
such
establishments.
The
rationale
for
the
exemption
applies
equally
to
those
owners
as
it
does
to
owners
of
facilities
who
lease
them
to
operators
of
establishments
in
SIC
codes
20
through
39.
Because
the
proposed
amendment
to
40
CFR
372.38(
e)
extends
the
exemption
to
other
industries,
there
is
no
cost
to
industry
associated
with
it.

G.
What
Are
the
Issues
on
Which
EPA
Is
Interested
in
Receiving
Comments?

EPA
is
particularly
interested
in
receiving
comments
on
the
following
issues:
(
i)
The
proposed
list
of
NAICS
industries
that
correspond
to
the
SIC
industries
that
are
subject
to
TRI
requirements.
(
ii)
Whether
the
dual
reporting
requirement
(
reporting
of
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes)
should
be
included
for
the
first
reporting
period
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule,
and
whether
the
requirement
should
be
extended
into
subsequent
reporting
years.
(
iii)
The
estimated
burden
of
the
new
reporting
requirements.
(
iv)
Alternatives
for
the
regulatory
text
that
would
accomplish
the
objectives
specified
in
this
proposal.

VI.
What
Additional
Reporting
Burden
Is
Associated
With
This
Action?

EPA
has
evaluated
the
potential
burden
and
cost
of
using
NAICS
for
TRI
reporting
as
described
in
this
proposal.
EPA
expects
that
the
burden
associated
with
this
change
for
affected
facilities
would
be
negligible.
OMB
adopted
NAICS
as
the
United
States'
industry
classification
system
in
1997,
and
facilities
are
or
should
be
already
familiar
with
their
NAICS
codes
from
other
administrative
and
regulatory
reporting
requirements
of
EPA
and
other
governmental
entities.
EPA
does
not
expect
or
intend
that
this
proposed
rule
would
affect
the
universe
of
facilities
that
are
currently
required
to
report
to
TRI.
EPA
would
simply
be
assigning
NAICS
industry
codes
to
those
SIC
industries
which
are
already
subject
to
section
313
reporting
requirements,
and
requiring
covered
facilities
in
those
industries
to
report
under
the
NAICS
code
tha
corresponds
to
the
covered
SIC
code.
Only
those
facilities
that
meet
the
SIC
code
requirements
in
40
CFR
372.22(
b)
would
continue
to
report
releases
and
other
waste
management
quantities
of
toxic
chemicals
to
the
TRI.

VIII.
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
A.
Executive
Order
12866,
Regulatory
Planning
and
Review
Under
Executive
Order
12866,
(
58
FR
51,735
(
October
4,
1993))
the
Agency
must
determine
whether
the
regulatory
action
is
``
significant''
and
therefore
subject
to
OMB
review
and
the
requirements
of
the
Executive
Order.
The
Order
defines
``
significant
regulatory
action''
as
one
that
is
likely
to
result
in
a
rule
that
may:
(
1)
Have
an
annual
effect
on
the
economy
of
$
100
million
or
more
or
adversely
affect
in
a
material
way
the
economy,
a
sector
of
the
economy,
productivity,
competition,
jobs,
the
environment,
public
health
or
safety,
or
State,
local,
or
tribal
governments
or
communities;
(
2)
create
a
serious
inconsistency
or
otherwise
interfere
with
an
action
taken
or
planned
by
another
agency;
(
3)
materially
alter
the
budgetary
impact
of
entitlements,
grants,
user
fees,
or
loan
programs
or
the
rights
and
obligations
of
recipients
thereof;
or
(
4)
raise
novel
legal
or
policy
issues
arising
out
of
legal
mandates,
the
President's
priorities,
or
the
principles
set
forth
in
the
Executive
Order.
EPA
has
determined
that
this
proposed
rule
is
not
a
``
significant
regulatory
action''
under
the
terms
of
Executive
Order
12866
and
is
therefore
not
subject
to
OMB
review.

B.
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
According
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(
PRA),
44
U.
S.
C.
3501
et
seq.,
an
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information
that
requires
OMB
approval
under
the
PRA,
unless
it
has
been
approved
by
OMB
and
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
collections
of
information,
after
initial
display
in
the
Federal
Register
and
in
addition
to
its
display
on
any
related
collection
instrument,
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
Chapter
15.
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

in
any

This
proposed
rule
would
not
impose
any
new
information
collection
burden
on
affected
facilities.
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.
Facilities
that
would
be
affected
by
the
proposed
rule
already
report
their
industrial
classification
codes
on
the
approved
reporting
forms
using
SIC
codes.
Moreover,
as
noted
above,
OMB
adopted
NAICS
over
five
years
ago,
so
affected
facilities
are
or
should
already
be
familiar
with
their
NAICS
codes
from
administrative
and
regulatory
reporting
requirements
of
EPA
and
other
governmental
entities
that
have
already
converted
to
NAICS
reporting.
Although
EPA
does
not
believe
that
the
reporting
requirements
associated
with
this
proposed
rule
would
impose
any
new
information
collection
burden,
Form
R
and
Form
A
will
have
to
be
amended
to
account
for
the
reporting
of
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
for
the
first
full
reporting
year
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule.
They
will
also
have
to
be
amended
to
account
for
the
reporting
of
NAICS
codes
after
that
first
full
reporting
year.
EPA
will
work
with
OMB
to
make
the
necessary
changes
to
the
TRI
reporting
forms.

C.
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
today's
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
consideration
of
the
potential
economic
impacts
of
this
proposed
rule
on
small
entities,
it
has
been
determined
that
this
action
will
not
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
an
substantial
number
of
small
entities.
The
change
proposed
by
this
rulemaking
is
to
require
affected
facilities
to
report
their
NAICS
rather
than
their
SIC
code,
except
for
the
first
year
of
implementation
when
both
the
SIC
and
the
NAICS
codes
will
be
reported.
In
the
first
year,
the
additional
burden
of
reporting
both
SIC
and
NAICS
codes
is
negligible
considering
that
the
SIC
code
is
readily
available
from
previous
reporting
forms
submitted
by
the
facility
and
that
facilities
are
already
using
the
NAICS
code
in
other
government
data
collection
exercises.
In
subsequent
years,
the
net
burden
on
small
entities
should
be
zero
as
the
NAICS
code
replaces
the
SIC
code
on
the
reporting
forms.
We
welcome
comments
on
issues
related
to
potential
impacts
of
the
proposed
rule
on
small
entities.

D.
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
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.

promulgating
an
EPA
rule

which
a
written
statement
is
needed,

Proposed
Rules
of
the
UMRA
generally
requires
EPA
to
identify
and
consider
a
reasonable
number
of
regulatory
alternatives
and
adopt
the
least
costly,
most
costeffective
or
least
burdensome
alternative
that
achieves
the
objectives
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
the
development
of
EPA
regulatory
proposals
with
significant
Federal
intergovernmental
mandates,
and
informing,
educating,
and
advising
small
governments
on
compliance
with
the
regulatory
requirements.
EPA
has
determined
that
this
proposed
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.
As
discussed
in
Section
VI
above,
EPA
believes
that
affected
facilities
already
are
or
should
be
familiar
with
their
NAICS
codes
from
other
activities,
including
reporting
to
other
governmental
authorities.
Provision
of
the
NAICS
code
in
addition
to,
or
in
lieu
of,
the
SIC
code
is
expected
to
impose
negligible
incremental
burden
on
affected
facilities.
Thus,
today's
rule
is
not
subject
to
the
requirements
of
sections
202
and
205
of
the
UMRA.

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
proposed
rule
does
not
have
federalism
implications.
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,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13132.
This
action
merely
adopts,
for
TRI
reporting
purposes,
the
NAICS
industry
classification
system
that
has
replaced
the
SIC
system
previously
used
for
collecting
statistical
data
and
for
other
administrative
and
regulatory
purposes.
Thus,
Executive
Order
13132
does
not
apply
to
this
rule.
In
the
spirit
of
Executive
Order
13132,
and
consistent
with
EPA
policy
to
promote
communications
between
EPA
and
State
and
local
governments,
EPA
specifically
solicits
comment
on
this
proposed
rule
from
State
and
local
officials.

F.
Executive
Order
13175,
Consultation

Executive
Order

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.''
This
proposed
rule
does
not
have
tribal
implications,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13175.
This
action
merely
adopts,
for
TRI
reporting
purposes,
the
NAICS
industry
classification
system
that
has
replaced
the
SIC
system
previously
used
for
collecting
statistical
data
and
for
other
administrative
and
regulatory
purposes.
Thus,
Executive
Order
13175
does
not
apply
to
this
rule.
In
the
spirit
of
Executive
Order
13175,
and
consistent
with
EPA
policy
to
promote
communications
between
EPA
and
Indian
Tribal
Governments,
EPA
specifically
solicits
additional
comment
on
this
proposed
rule
from
tribal
officials.

G.
Executive

``
Actions
Concerning
Regulations
That
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,
Distribution,
or
Use''
(
66
FR
28355
(

because
it
is
not
a
significant
regulatory
action
under
Executive
Order
12866.
H.
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.
This
proposed
rule
is
not
subject
to
the
Executive
Order
because
it
is
not
economically
significant
as
defined
in
Executive
Order
12866,
and
because
the
Agency
does
not
have
reason
to
believe
the
environmental
health
or
safety
risks
addressed
by
this
action
present
a
disproportionate
risk
to
children.

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
used
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.
EPA
recognizes
that
NAICS,
like
SIC,
is
a
standard
that
was
developed
by
OMB
primarily
as
a
means
to
collect
and
organize
industrial
statistics
for
the
federal
government.
However,
EPA
has
not
identified
an
alternative
voluntary
consensus
standard
for
defining
industry
classifications.
Even
if
one
exists,
EPA
believes
it
would
be
impractical
to
use
such
a
standard
for
reporting
purposes
under
section
313
of
EPCRA
and
section
6607
of
the
PPA.
One
of
the
reasons
for
switching
from
SIC
to
NAICS
is
to
maintain
consistency
within
EPA
and
among
other
government
agencies
in
the
way
that
industry­
specific
data
is
collected,
organized
and
made
available

Moreover,
although
NAICS
is
based
on
a
different
organizing
principle
than
SIC,
the
two
classification
systems
share
many
similarities.
Industry
has
had
several
decades
to
become
familiar
with
SIC
so
the
transition
to
NAICS
as
opposed
to
an
alternative
industry
classification
system
should
be
more
efficient
and
