RIN 2070-AK32
Community Right-To-Know; Adopting 2017 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) Codes for Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
Reporting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is updating 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) 2017 NAICS code revision. As a result of this action,
facilities would be required to use 2017 NAICS codes when reporting to
TRI beginning with TRI reporting forms that are due on July 1, 2018,
covering releases and other waste management quantities for the 2017
calendar year. EPA is also modifying the list of exceptions and
limitations associated with NAICS codes in the CFR for TRI reporting
purposes by deleting the descriptive text. EPA believes that these
amendments are non-controversial and does not expect to receive any
adverse comments. However, in addition to this direct final rule,
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is issuing the
same amendment as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that will be used in
the event that adverse comment is received. If EPA receives no adverse
comment, the Agency will not take further action on the proposed rule
and the direct final rule will become effective as provided in this
action. If EPA receives relevant adverse comment, the Agency will
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the
public that this direct final action will not take effect and directing
them to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. EPA would then address all
relevant adverse public comments in a subsequent final rule.
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 15, 2017 without
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by September 18,
2017. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect and directing them to the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking that appears elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by this action if you own or
operate facilities that have 10 or more full-time employees or the
equivalent of 20,000 employee 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) or section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention
Act (PPA) to report annually to EPA and States or Tribes their
environmental releases or other waste management quantities of covered
chemicals. (A rule was published on April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23409),
requiring facilities located in Indian country to report to the
appropriate tribal government official and EPA instead of to the state
and EPA.)
The following list of North American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather
provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document
applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:
Facilities included in the following NAICS manufacturing
codes (corresponding to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes
20 through 39): 311*, 312*, 313*, 314*, 315*, 316, 321, 322, 323*, 324,
325*, 326*, 327, 331, 332, 333, 334*, 335*, 336, 337*, 339*, 111998*,
211112*, 212324*, 212325*, 212393*, 212399*, 488390*, 511110, 511120,
511130, 511140*, 511191, 511199, 512220, 512230*, 519130*, 541712*, or
811490*. (*Exceptions and/or limitations exist for these NAICS codes.)
Facilities included in the following NAICS codes
(corresponding to SIC codes other than SIC codes 20 through 39):
212111, 212112, 212113 (corresponds to SIC code 12, Coal
[[Page 39039]]
Mining (except 1241)); or 212221, 212222, 212231, 212234, 212299
(corresponds to SIC code 10, Metal Mining (except 1011, 1081, and
1094)); or 221111, 221112, 221113, 221118, 221121, 221122, 221330
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating power for distribution in commerce) (corresponds to SIC
codes 4911, 4931, and 4939, Electric Utilities); or 424690, 425110,
425120 (limited to facilities previously classified in SIC code 5169,
Chemicals and Allied Products, Not Elsewhere Classified); or 424710
(corresponds to SIC code 5171, Petroleum Bulk Terminals and Plants); or
562112 (limited to facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery
services on a contract or fee basis (previously classified under SIC
code 7389, Business Services, NEC)); or 562211, 562212, 562213, 562219,
562920 (limited to facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. 6921 et seq.) (corresponds to
SIC code 4953, Refuse Systems).
Federal facilities. Under Executive Order 13693 (80 FR
15871, March 25, 2015), all Federal facilities are required to comply
with the provisions set forth in section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607
of the PPA. On June 10, 2015, the White House Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) issued Instructions for Implementing Executive Order
13693, requiring federal agencies and contractors to comply with these
laws regardless of NAICS code delineations (see 80 FR 34149, June 15,
2015).
If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
EPA is taking this action under sections 313(g)(1) and 328 of
EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11023(g)(1) and 11048. In general, section 313 of
EPCRA requires owners and operators of covered facilities in specified
SIC codes that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic
chemicals 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. Congress also granted EPA broad rulemaking authority to allow the
Agency to fully implement the statute. EPCRA section 328 states that:
``The Administrator may prescribe such regulations as may be necessary
to carry out this chapter.'' 42 U.S.C. 11048.
C. What action is the Agency taking?
In response to OMB's revisions to the NAICS codes effective January
1, 2017, EPA is amending 40 CFR part 372 to include 2017 NAICS codes
for TRI reporting. EPA is also modifying the list of exceptions and
limitations of NAICS codes for TRI reporting purposes in the CFR.
Under this action, TRI reporting requirements remain unchanged.
However, due to the 2017 NAICS modifications, some facilities will need
to modify their reported NAICS codes as outlined in the table below,
which identifies only the revised TRI NAICS reporting codes and is not
an exhaustive list of all NAICS reporting codes subject to EPCRA
section 313 and PPA section 6607. A complete listing of all TRI covered
facilities can be found in the regulations at 40 CFR 372.23.

Crosswalk tables between all 2012 NAICS codes and 2017 NAICS codes
can be found on the Internet at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.
EPA is also modifying the list of exceptions and limitations of
NAICS codes for TRI reporting purposes in the CFR. Because NAICS codes
may cross-reference some SIC codes in both TRI-covered and non-covered
TRI sectors, EPA has historically included descriptive text in 40 CFR
part 372 to help indicate exceptions and limitations to TRI coverage
for a specific NAICS code in line with the previous SIC code
descriptors. However, NAICS codes are updated every five years, and
these updates may require EPA to revise this text describing an
exception or limitation to the scope of a particular NAICS code.
Consequently, this descriptive text does not always align fully with
SIC codes' full descriptions.
For example, historically, 40 CFR part 372 would list NAICS code
323211 with the following exception: ``Exception is limited to
facilities primarily engaged in reproducing text, drawings, plans,
maps, or other copy, by blueprinting, photocopying, mimeographing, or
other methods of duplication other than printing or microfilming (i.e.,
instant printing) (previously classified under SIC 7334, Photocopying
and Duplicating Services, (instant printing))''. This action simplifies
the listing to display only the SIC code and title rather than include
the description: ``Exception is limited to facilities previously
classified under SIC 7334, Photocopying and Duplicating Services''.
Moving forward, in 40 CFR part 372, EPA will not include
descriptive text for SIC codes when listing the limitations and
exceptions applicable to TRI-covered NAICS codes. Instead, the Agency
will simply list the SIC codes, including their titles, as applicable
limitations and exceptions. Because exceptions and limitations are
included in 40 CFR part 372.23(b) & (c) to align the listing of NAICS
codes with the list of SIC codes covered by TRI reporting requirements
as shown in 40 CFR part 372.23(a), the SIC codes rather than the
descriptive text defines the types of facilities covered by TRI. By
removing the descriptive text from the exceptions and limitations
listed in these two paragraphs, this action mitigates potential
confusion caused by qualitative descriptions of SIC codes and does not
alter the universe of the facilities affected by TRI reporting
requirements. Facilities with questions regarding the SIC code
descriptions should refer to the SIC manual, available at: https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sicsearch.html.
D. Why is EPA taking this action?
On April 9, 1997, OMB published a Federal Register Notice of final
decision (62 FR 17288) to adopt the NAICS economic classification
system, replacing the SIC system which had traditionally been used by
the Federal Government for collecting and organizing industry-related
statistics. Consistent with EPCRA, on June 6, 2006, 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). OMB revises the NAICS codes every five
years. Therefore, on June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32466), EPA amended 40 CFR
part 372 to include the 2007 NAICS codes that correspond to the SIC
codes that are currently subject to section 313 of EPCRA and section
6607 of the PPA, and again on July 18, 2013 (78 FR 42875), to include
the 2012 NAICS codes.
In the Federal Register on August 4, 2015 (80 FR 46480), OMB
announced updated NAICS codes for 2017, and on August 8, 2016 (81 FR
52584), finalized and further modified the NAICS codes for 2017. This
direct final action will amend 40 CFR part 372 to include OMB's revised
NAICS codes for 2017.
E. How is EPA taking this action?
Given the nature of this action, EPA is therefore taking this
action by publishing this direct final rule and a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
1. Direct final rule. Although EPA believes that this action is
non-controversial and is not expected to result in any adverse
comments, a direct final rule provides an opportunity for adverse
comment. If EPA receives no adverse comment, the Agency will not take
further action on the proposed rule and the direct final rule will
become effective as provided in this action. However, if EPA receives
relevant adverse comment, the Agency will publish a timely withdrawal
in the Federal Register informing the public that this direct final
action will not take effect and directing them to the proposed rule
that appears elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. EPA would
then address all adverse public comments in the context of issuing a
subsequent final rule.
2. Proposed rule. In addition to this direct final rule, the same
amendments are presented in a proposed rule that appears elsewhere in
this issue of the Federal Register. As indicated previously, the
proposed rule will be used in the event that relevant adverse comment
is received on the amendment within this direct final rule.
F. What are the incremental impacts of this action?
EPA analyzed the potential costs and benefits associated with this
action, and determined that since this action will not add or remove
any reporting requirements, there is no net increase in respondent
burden or other economic impacts to consider.
G. How do I submit a comment on this action?

[[Page 39041]]
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
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. In addition, OMB has
previously approved the information collection requirements contained
in 40 CFR part 372 under the provisions of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., and has assigned OMB control number 2025-0009 (EPA ICR No. 1363-
21) for Form R and Form A. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
EPA certifies that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq. In making this determination, the impact of concern
is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency
may certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory
burden, has no net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect
on the small entities subject to the rule. This direct final rule adds
no new reporting requirements, and there would be no net increase in
respondent burden. This rule would only update the NAICS codes already
reported by respondents. This final rule will not impose any
requirements on small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action would impose no enforceable duty on any
state, local or tribal governments or the private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). It will not 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.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This final rule
will not impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal
governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined
in Executive Order 12866, and because EPA does not believe the
environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action present a
disproportionate risk to children.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution
or use of energy.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards that would
require Agency consideration under NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272
note.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations.
EPA has determined that the human health or environmental risk
addressed by this action would not have potential disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority,
low-income or indigenous populations, as specified in Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
