EPA Reinstates Full TRI Reporting Requirements

摘要

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson recently signed a final rule to reinstate stricter reporting requirements for industrial and federal facilities that release toxic substances that threaten human health and the environment. The final rule reinstates Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements that were replaced by the TRI Burden Reduction Rule in December 2006. The 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, signed by President Obama on March 11,2009, mandated that prior TRI reporting requirements be reestablished. The changes will apply to all TRI reports due July 1, 2009.
