The EPCRA Section 313 program is also referred to as the Toxics Release Inventory or TRI. This document supersedes all previous versions of the EPCRA Section 313 Question and Answer Document. Use this document as guidance beginning with the 1999 reporting year for reports due July 1, 2000.  \nThis manual is intended solely for guidance and does not alter any statutory or regulatory requirements. The document should be used in conjunction with the statute and regulations but does not supersede them. The guidance provided in this document addresses the very specific circumstances stated in each question. Accordingly, the reader should consult other applicable documents (e.g., the statute, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), relevant preamble language, and the current Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions) .  \nUnder Section 313, facilities are required to report releases and other waste management of specifically listed chemicals. They also are required to report transfers of toxic chemicals for waste management to off-site locations. Facilities that meet all three of the following criteria are subject to EPCRA Section 313 release and other waste management reporting:  \n• the facility has 10 or more full-time employees;  \n• the facility has a primary Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code in any of the groups listed in the table on the following page; and  \n• the facility manufactured (defined to include imported), processed, or otherwise used, in the course of a calendar year, any toxic chemical in quantities greater than the set threshold.  \nReports under Section 313 (EPA Form R or Form A) must be submitted annually to EPA and to designated State (or Tribal) agencies. Reports are due by July 1 of each year and cover activities at the facility during the previous calendar year.  \nThe Agency developed this document to facilitate facility reporting and to provide additional explanation of the reporting requirements. This document supplements the instructions for completing the Form R and the Alternate Threshold Certification Statement (Form A) . Terms printed in italics in the text of this document are defined in the glossary in Appendix B to this document.  \nCopies of EPA’s Form R, instructions for completing the Form, and related guidance documents are available from the National Center for Environmental Publications and Information (NCEPI), P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242-2419. Additional information may be obtained by accessing EPA’s TRI Homepage on the Internet at [http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/tri or](http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/tri or) calling the EPCRA Hotline at (800) 424-9346. In the Washington, D.C. area call (703) 412-9810.  \nThe questions and answers in this document are organized in sections as listed in the table of contents on the following pages. There is also an expanded keyword index at the end of this document. The terms in the index are also found in the sidebar of the document near relevant questions.  \nSTANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION (SIC) GROUPS SUBJECT TO EPCRA SECTION 313  \nSIC Industry Group  \n10* (except 1011, 1081, and 1094) Metal Mining 12* (except 1241) Coal Mining  \n20 Manufacturing  \n21 Tobacco  \n22 Textiles  \n23 Apparel  \n24 Lumber and Wood  \n25 Furniture  \n26 Paper  \n27 Printing and Publishing  \n28 Chemicals  \n29 Petroleum and Coal  \n30 Rubber and Plastics  \n31 Leather  \n32 Stone, Clay, and Glass  \n","cbCaibYrEUdbkgHi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibYrEUdbkgHi","pdf",1638864,306,"English","# Section 1.
