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) 2007 NAICS revision. OMB's Notice of March 16, 2006, states that “data published for reference years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, should be published using the 2007 NAICS United States Codes.” 71 FR 28532.
EPA is also proposing to make corrections to the list of TRI-covered NAICS codes from the 2006 TRI NAICS rule. Certain items that should have been included in the final list of NAICS codes subject to TRI reporting were inadvertently omitted from the final list. Unrelated to the NAICS rule, EPA is using this opportunity to correct a longstanding error in the regulations that refers to section 372.17 when, in fact, the reference should be 40 CFR 372.30.
The updated list of TRI-covered NAICS codes is listed in 40 CFR Start Printed Page 12046372.23(b) “NAICS codes that correspond to SIC codes 20 through 39”, and (c) “NAICS codes that correspond to SIC codes other than SIC codes 20 through 39.” Labels have been added to the 3-digit subsector codes and the 6-digit national industry codes to provide descriptions of the NAICS industries that are covered for TRI. These labels are being added for clarification purposes, and they are identical to the labels that appear in the OMB NAICS manual, Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, North American Industry Classification System, United States, 2007, Bernan, a division of The Kraus Organization Limited, 2007.
Entities that may be affected by this action are those facilities that have 10 or more full-time employees or the equivalent 20,000 hours per year that manufacture, process, or otherwise use toxic chemicals listed on the TRI, and that are required under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) to report annually to EPA and States their environmental releases and other waste management quantities of covered chemicals. Under Executive Order 13423, published on January 24, 2007 (72 FR 3919), all federal facilities are required to comply with the provisions set forth in Section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA. On April 2, 2007, the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued Instructions for Implementing Executive Order 13423, including annual reporting to the TRI program. Executive departments and agencies are required to implement the activities described in the instructions in accordance with sections 1, 2, 3 and 4(b) of the Executive Order.
To determine whether your facility is affected by this action, you should carefully examine the applicability criteria in part 372, subpart B of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
EPA is taking this action 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 Standard Industrial Classification (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. 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 amended 40 CFR Part 372 to include the 2002 NAICS codes that correspond to the SIC codes that are currently subject to section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA. 71 FR 32464 (June 6, 2006). EPA is now proposing to amend 40 CFR Part 372 to include OMB's revised NAICS codes for 2007.
Owners and operators of facilities that are subject to section 313 must identify their principal business activities using 2007 NAICS codes beginning with TRI reporting forms that are due on July 1, 2009, covering releases and other waste management quantities at the facility for the 2008 calendar year.
EPA promulgated a final TRI NAICS rule on June 6, 2006, to amend its regulations for TRI, found at 40 CFR Part 372, to include the NAICS codes. The list of TRI NAICS codes that appeared in the final rule was developed from the 2002 NAICS revision. EPA is proposing updates to that list based on the OMB 2007 NAICS revision. In addition, certain TRI-covered NAICS codes and certain exceptions and limitations to TRI-covered NAICS codes did not appear in the June 6, 2006, notice's list of TRI-covered NAICS codes and are now being proposed for inclusion. These omissions are discussed in greater detail in Section VI of this notice.
EPA will amend 40 CFR Part 372 to correct the list of NAICS codes for TRI reporting and to update the list using 2007 NAICS codes so that the NAICS codes listed in the TRI regulations accurately reflect the universe of covered facilities under section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA.
In addition, unrelated to the NAICS codes, EPA is using this rulemaking as an opportunity to correct a reference to a nonexistent section in Part 372. Specifically, § 372.5 (Persons subject to this part) reads, in pertinent part “If the owner and operator of a facility are different persons, only one need report under § 372.17 or provide a notice under § 372.45 for each toxic chemical in a mixture or trade name product distributed from the facility.” There is no 40 CFR 372.17 and therefore, reference to this section is an error which the Agency is proposing to revise to refer to the appropriate section on TRI reporting requirements, § 372.30 (Reporting requirements and schedule for reporting).
EPA's final rule of June 2006 defined the universe of facilities that is currently required to report under section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA. Certain facilities that should have been included in the final list of NAICS codes subject to TRI reporting in the June 2006 rule were inadvertently omitted. We are clarifying in this notice that those facilities are subject to TRI reporting.
TRI reporting requirements will not change as a result of this final rule. This rule will revise the NAICS codes to reflect the OMB NAICS 2007 revision and correct inadvertent omissions that occurred when identifying the NAICS codes that are associated with the SIC codes that are covered by the statute. This rule will help clarify that certain sectors are still required to report to TRI and to accurately reflect all covered sectors in the list of TRI-covered NAICS codes.
An OMB Federal Register notice published on March 16, 2006 (71 FR 28532), updates NAICS for 2007. All Start Printed Page 12047facilities that currently report to TRI will still be required to report to TRI. However, due to the 2007 NAICS modifications, some facilities will need to modify their NAICS codes as outlined in the tables below. The following OMB final revisions are those that apply to the 2002 TRI-covered NAICS codes in the manufacturing sector (NAICS 31-33).
For a small subset of 2002 NAICS codes, the 2007 NAICS revisions replace one 2002 NAICS code with two or more 2007 NAICS codes (see the table below). In one case—for the 2002 NAICS code 339111—the 2002 NAICS code number has been completely replaced by other more specific existing NAICS codes and the code 339111 no longer appears in the NAICS code listing.
The following final revisions from the OMB 2007 NAICS rule apply to 2002 TRI-covered NAICS codes in the NAICS manufacturing sector.
315211 Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors embroidery contractors except embroidery contractors → 314999 315211 All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills. Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors.
315212 Women's, Girls' and Infants' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors embroidery contractors except embroidery contractors → 314999 315212 All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills. Women's, Girls' and Infants' Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors.
326199 All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing. except inflatable plastics boats inflatable plastics boats → 326199 336612 All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing. Boat Building.
326291 Rubber Product Manufacturing for Mechanical Use. except rubber tubing for mechanical use rubber tubing for mechanical use → 326291 326299 Rubber Product Manufacturing for Mechanical Use. All Other Rubber Product Manufacturing.

334220 Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing except communications signal testing and evaluation equipment communications signal testing and evaluation equipment → 334220 334515 Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Signals.
339111 Laboratory Apparatus and Furniture Manufacturing. laboratory distilling equipment laboratory freezers laboratory furnaces and ovens laboratory scales and balances laboratory centrifuges laboratory furniture (e.g. stools, tables, benches) except laboratory distilling equipment, freezers, furnaces, ovens, scales, balances, centrifuges, and furniture → 333298 333415 333994 333997 333999 337127 339113 All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing. Air-conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment. And Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing. Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing. Scale and Balance Manufacturing. All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing. Institutional Furniture Manufacturing. Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing.
None of the NAICS 2007 revisions for the manufacturing sector (NAICS 31-33) listed in the table above result in changes to the list of covered NAICS codes from the 2006 TRI NAICS rule, in which EPA amended its regulations for TRI to include NAICS codes. OMB has simply moved some of the definitions within specific NAICS manufacturing codes to other NAICS manufacturing codes, all of which are presently covered under the TRI regulations.
The following final revisions from the OMB 2007 NAICS rule apply to 2002 TRI-covered NAICS codes in sectors outside of the NAICS manufacturing sector.
516110 Internet Publishing and Broadcasting → 519130 Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals.
541710 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences biotechnology research and development except biotechnology research and development → 541711 541712 Research and Development in Biotechnology. Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology).
The changes listed in the table above result in two minor changes to the list of covered NAICS codes in the 2006 TRI NAICS rule, in which EPA amended its regulations for TRI to include NAICS codes. NAICS 516110, Internet Publishing and Broadcasting, has been changed in the 2007 NAICS revision to 519130, Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals. TRI will make this revision to its final list of covered NAICS codes; however, Web Search Portals will be listed as an exception from the reporting requirements since Web Search Portals are not covered in section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of PPA. Thus the facilities actually covered for the purposes of TRI reporting will remain the same.
NAICS 541710, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, has been separated into two different NAICS codes in order to single out biotechnology research and development. The 2002 NAICS code 541710 has become two new 2007 NAICS codes: NAICS 541711, Research and Development in Biotechnology, and NAICS 541712, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). The latter 2007 NAICS code, 541712, will replace 2002 NAICS code 541710 in the final list of TRI-covered NAICS codes. As with 2002 NAICS code 541710, TRI coverage for 2007 NAICS code 541712 will be limited to facilities that are primarily engaged in guided missile and space vehicle engine research and development (previously classified under SIC 3764, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Units and Propulsion Unit Parts), and in guided missile and space vehicle parts (except engines) research and development (previously classified under SIC 3769, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment, Not Elsewhere Classified).
The 2007 NAICS code 541711 will not be added to the list of TRI-covered facilities, since facilities conducting research and development in biotechnology are not covered under section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA. Limitations exist and are noted in 40 CFR 372.23(b) for both NAICS 519130 and 541712.
EPA is also proposing several changes to the list of TRI-covered NAICS codes due to omissions that were identified from the list of NAICS codes published in the final TRI NAICS rulemaking dated June 6, 2006 (71 FR 32464). Two NAICS codes, 113310, Logging, and 221330, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply (with limitations), will be added to the final list of covered NAICS codes. NAICS 113310 corresponds to the TRI-covered SIC manufacturing code for logging, SIC 2411. NAICS 221330, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply, limited to facilities engaged in providing combinations of electric, gas, and other services, not elsewhere classified (N.E.C.), corresponds to covered SIC code 4939, Combination Utility Services N.E.C.
In addition, three exceptions (see table below) corresponding to NAICS manufacturing codes 312, 327, and 399 should have been listed in the June 6, 2006, final rule and would be added to the list of NAICS codes in the final regulations in 40 CFR 372.23. These changes do not alter the universe of facilities covered by section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of PPA, but rather amend the current TRI regulations to more accurately reflect that universe.
NAICS subsector (3-digit)
NAICS industries (6 digit)
312 312112—Bottled Water Manufacturing Exception is limited to facilities primarily engaged in bottling mineral or spring water (previously classified under SIC 5149, Groceries and Related Products, NEC).
327 327112—Vitreous China, Fine Earthenware, and Other Pottery Product Manufacturing Exception is limited to facilities primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling pottery on site (previously classified under SIC 5719, Miscellaneous Homefurnishing Stores).
339 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing Exception is limited to facilities primarily engaged in manufacturing orthopedic devices to prescription in a retail environment (previously classified under SIC 5999, Miscellaneous Retail Stores, NEC).
This proposed rule adds no new reporting requirements, and there will be no net increase in respondent burden. Facilities were first required to report their toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities to EPA using NAICS codes beginning in 2007 for reporting year 2006. Covered facilities should refer to the updated NAICS code list in 40 CFR 372.23 when reporting. Crosswalk tables between 2007 NAICS and 2002 NAICS can be found on the Internet at http://www.census.gov/​epcd/​www/​naics.html.
This action does not impose any new information collection burden. Facilities that are affected by the rule are already required to report their industrial classification codes on the approved reporting forms under section 313 of EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
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 assigned the Information Collection Request (ICR) OMB control numbers 2070-0093 (EPA ICR No. 1363-14) for Form R and 2070-0143 (EPA ICR No. 1704-08) for Form A. A copy of the OMB approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs) may be obtained from Rick Westlund, Collection Strategies Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T); 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460 or by calling (202) 566-1672.
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 Start Printed Page 12049to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this 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 considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The small entities directly regulated by this proposed rule are TRI reporting facilities that have 10 or more full-time employee equivalents (i.e., a total of 20,000 hours or greater). We have determined that, since this rule makes only very minor revisions and updates to the TRI NAICS codes that are already being used by TRI-covered facilities on TRI reporting forms, the resulting burden due to these minor changes is negligible, and will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
EPA has determined that this 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. 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. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify and consider a reasonable number of the regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objective 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.
Thus, today's rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. EPA has also determined that this rule contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Because this proposed rule simply updates and makes very minor corrections to the TRI NAICS codes that have already been implemented for reporting by TRI facilities, the rule will not impose substantial direct compliance costs on TRI reporting facilities regulated under section 313 of EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
This rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have a substantial direct effect on 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. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
Executive Order 13175, 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.” EPA has concluded that this proposed rule may have tribal implications as TRI reporting facilities may be on tribal lands. However, the rule simply updates and makes corrections to the TRI NAICS codes that have already been implemented for reporting by TRI facilities, include those on tribal lands. As such, the rule will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt Tribal law.
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. Start Printed Page 12050
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, (May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use 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.
This proposed rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards. EPA welcomes comments on this aspect of the proposed rulemaking and, specifically, invites the public to identify potentially applicable voluntary consensus standards and to explain why such standards should be used in this regulation.
EPA has determined that this rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because the rule addresses information collection and does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment.
For the reasons set out in the preamble, title 40 Chapter I of the Code of Federal Regulations is proposed to be amended as follows:
