These changes finalize a proposal issued in (which I wrote about [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-expands-toxics-release-inventory-chemical-list-and-proposes-lower-reporting-thresholds-for-pfas-chemicals)), and reflect EPA’s agency-wide efforts to tighten controls on PFASs proposed in December 2022 (I wrote about these efforts [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/us-government-rolls-out-comprehensive-approach-to-pfas-forever-chemicalspfas)). The new TRI revisions apply to reports beginning in calendar year 2024. The remainder of this note summarizes these changes.

EPA administers TRI as one of the distinct [programs created by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA, also referred to as SARA Title III). This is the latest step in EPA’s review and updating of TRI, underway since President Biden assumed office.  (I’ve discussed TRI several times, most recently [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/epa-expands-toxics-release-inventory-chemical-list-and-proposes-lower-reporting-thresholds-for-pfas-chemicals)). The rest of this note discusses this latest change, which will require TRI reporting by subject facilities beginning with 2024 data.

EPCRA presents several separate programs, including release prevention and reporting for a fairly short list of extremely hazardous substances (which I discussed [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/reporting-ehs-releases-responsibilities-continue-except-for-some-farm-emissions)), inventory reporting for most hazardous materials (which I discussed [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/bid/169481/Hazardous-Material-Regulations-Don-t-Forget-Your-2012-Hazmat-Inventory)), and filing of annual toxic chemical release inventory reports with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the state, on one of two forms (Form R or Form A) – usually called the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program (which I’ve discussed several times, including [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/by-july-1-its-time-to-submit-annual-toxic-release-inventory-reports)). EPA is celebrating the TRI program anniversary on its website. Meanwhile, the agency has also proposed to add an additional dozen chemicals to the TRI reporting list. The reminder of this note summarizes these activities.
