This ICR covers the collection of information for the toxic chemical release reporting of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under section 313 (commonly referred to as the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)) of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). The substances were added to TRI by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, which was enacted on December 20, 2019. This new collection is related to an existing collection of toxic chemical release reporting, approved under the OMB Control No. 2025-0009. After this new request is approved, EPA anticipates consolidating the currently approved collection and this new request under a single OMB control number.
EPA has determined that this collection of information is needed due to the addition of more than 150 chemicals. The chemicals added to the TRI list became effective on January 1, 2020. The regular process for ICRs under the PRA, which includes two comment periods with 60-day and 30-day timeframes, is infeasible due to the immediacy of this effective date, following the enactment of the NDAA on December 20, 2019.
