Community Right-To-Know; Corrections and 2007 Updates to the

Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS) Reporting Codes; Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is amending the regulations to make certain updates and corrections to 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. EPA is making corrections to the list of NAICS codes subject to reporting under TRI that was published on June 6, 2006, in the final rule adopting NAICS for TRI reporting and is correcting a longstanding typographical error in the regulatory text.

DATES: This final rule is effective on August 8, 2008. Facilities will be required to report to TRI using 2007 NAICS codes beginning with TRI reporting forms that are due on July 1, 2009, covering releases and other waste management quantities for the 2008 calendar year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

  1. General Information

    Does This Action Apply to Me?

    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.

  2. What Is EPA's Statutory Authority for Taking This Action?

    EPA is finalizing 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 amending 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.

  3. Background Information

    What Is the General Background for This Action?

    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 now updating 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 included.

  4. Final Action

    1. What Is the Agency's Final Action?

      EPA is amending 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, Sec. 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 Sec. 372.17 or provide a notice under Sec. 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, Sec. 372.30 (Reporting requirements and schedule for reporting).

    2. Will This Final Rule Affect the Universe of Facilities That Are

      Currently Required To Report to EPA and the States?

      This action will 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 adding or deleting industry groups from the list of industries currently subject to section 313 reporting requirements.

    3. How Will Section 313 Reporting Requirements Change as a Result of

      This Rule?

      TRI reporting requirements will not change as a result of this final rule. This rule revises the NAICS codes to reflect

      Page 32468

      the OMB NAICS 2007 revision and corrects 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.

    4. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Updates to NAICS

      OMB plans to update NAICS every five years with the next update scheduled for 2012. If necessary, the TRI program will issue a Federal

      Register notice to update the TRI NAICS codes at that time.

  5. Summary of Public Comments and EPA Responses

    No comments were received during the 30-day comment period following publication of the proposed rule to update TRI NAICS codes.

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

    This 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.

  7. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

    1. Executive Order 12866

      This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore not subject to review under the EO.

    2. Paperwork Reduction Act

      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. 1363-15) for Form R and 2070-0143 (EPA ICR No. 1704-09) 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 to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

      An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

    3. The 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 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 this 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 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.

    4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

      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

      Page 32469

      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 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.

    5. 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 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.

    6. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian

      Tribal Governments

      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 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, including those on tribal lands. As such, the rule will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt Tribal law.

    7. 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.

      EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to

      Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.

    8. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That

      Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

      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.

  8. 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 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 rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore,

    EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

    1. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental

      Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

      Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United States.

      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.

    2. Congressional Review Act

      The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the

      Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the

      United States. Section 804 exempts from section 801 the following types of rules: (1) Rules of particular applicability; (2) rules relating to agency management or personnel; and (3) rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties. 5 U.S. 804(3). EPA is not required to submit a rule report regarding today's action under section 801 because this is a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice that does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non- agency parties.
