Section 313<br />

The EPA has established an inventory <strong>of</strong> routine toxic<br />

chemicals which require emissions reporting. These reporting<br />

requirements are known as Form R. Facilities subject to<br />

Section 313 are required to submit a Toxic Chemical Release<br />

Inventory Form for specified chemicals. Form R<br />

notifies public and governmental agencies about routine<br />

releases (releases that occur as a result <strong>of</strong> daily production<br />

use). Form R applies to facilities <strong>of</strong> ten or more employees<br />

with Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20<br />

through 39, and that manufacture, process or otherwise use<br />

a toxic chemical in excess <strong>of</strong> specified threshold quantities.<br />

Form R is completed on an annual basis and is submitted by<br />

July 1.<br />
