Abstract: EPA is requesting a non-substantive change to update the Reporting Forms and Instructions document for Reporting Year (RY) 2022. Each year, EPA updates this document to reflect the new reporting year and to incorporate various improvements to the document. Alongside updating references from RY 2021 to RY 2022, this document will now refer to an EPCRA 313(d)(2) authority and will provide a streamlined set of source reduction reporting codes. EPA is not otherwise modifying the information collection requirements or agency paperwork burden estimates.
