Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Community Right-To-Know; Additional Time to Report

EPA is announcing that it will allow facilities required to submit Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports for calendar year 1995 until August 1, 1996, to file those reports. These TRI reports under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act would otherwise be due on or before July 1, 1996. Because of unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of EPA, EPA has been delayed in developing and distributing the reporting package, which includes extensive materials and guidance for preparing TRI reports, for the 1995 reporting year. To allow facilities adequate time to prepare and submit complete and accurate TRI reports, EPA is allowing facilities an extra month in which to report.
