Notice Regarding Revisions to Toxic Chemical Release Inventory 
Reporting Forms under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and 
Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that the annual deadline for 
EPA's receipt of voluntary revisions to Toxic Chemical Release 
Inventory Forms (Form R or report) is changed to October 15th each 
year. The new deadline is 6 weeks earlier than the November 30th 
deadline set in an earlier notice. Voluntary revisions must now be 
received from facilities on or before October 15th, in order for the 
revisions to be included in the next annual release of the Toxic 
Release Inventory (TRI). TRI was established pursuant to section 313 of 
the Emergency Planning and Community-Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), 42 
U.S.C. 11001, 11023, also known as the Superfund Amendments and 
Reauthorization Act of 1986 or Title III. This notice amends an earlier 
notice regarding revisions which is still in effect except for the 
change in the revisions deadline.

DATES: This notice is effective beginning October 15, 1994, and 
continuing in each year thereafter.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emergency Planning and Community 
Right-to-Know Information Hotline, Environmental Protection Agency, 
Mail Stop 5101, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, Toll free: 800-
535-0202.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public of EPA's 
administering of the data management aspects of the TRI program. This 
notice amends an EPA notice published in the Federal Register of 
September 26, 1991 (56 FR 48795), titled ``Notice Regarding Revisions 
to Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Forms under Section 313 of the 
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986'' 
hereinafter referred to as the ``September 1991 Notice.''
    The September 1991 Notice, among other things, set November 30th as 
the deadline for EPA's receipt of voluntary revisions that could be 
processed in time to be included in the next annual release of TRI. The 
September 1991 Notice is still in effect except that the deadline for 
receipt of voluntary revisions is now October 15th each year instead of 
November 30th. Revisions received after October 15th will continue to 
be processed; however, EPA will not guarantee that they will be 
included in the next annual release of TRI. The new revision deadline 
reflects EPA's ability to process and release TRI data earlier due to 
increased efficiencies in data entry that have been accomplished since 
the September 1991 Notice was published.

Dated: August 4, 1994.
Mark Greenwood,
Director, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
