------------------------------------------------------------------------
This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to find this notice of
training course offerings applicable. Other types of entities not
listed in the table may also find this notice applicable. To determine
whether your facility could find this notice applicable, you should
carefully examine the applicability criteria in part 372 subpart B of
Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you have questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed in the preceding ``FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT'' section. You may be able to take advantage of the training
courses if:
your facility is a facility covered under section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA);
your facility is a federal facility that manufactures,
processes, or otherwise uses section 313 listed toxic chemicals;
you prepare annual release and other waste management activity
reports (i.e., Form R or Form A);
you are a consultant who assists in the preparation of these
reports; or
you would like information on recent changes to EPCRA/TRI
regulations
The EPA conducts annual training courses to assist you with your
reporting requirements under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) or Executive Order 13148 (for
federal facilities). You must submit your annual release and other
waste management activity reports (i.e., Form R or Form A) if your
facility meets the descriptions for the following Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes and qualifiers, and meets other criteria
specified in part 372 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations:
Metal Mining (SIC Code 10, except 1011, 1081, and 1094);
Coal Mining (SIC Code 12, except 1241);
Manufacturing (SIC Codes 20-39)
Electricity Generating Facilities (SIC Codes 4911, 4931, and
4939--limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating electricity for distribution in commerce);
Hazardous Waste Treatment/TSDF (SIC Code 4953--limited to
facilities regulated under RCRA subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. section 6921
et seq.);

Petroleum Bulk Plants and Terminals (SIC Code 5171);
Solvent Recovery (SIC Code 7389--limited to facilities primarily
engaged in solvents recovery services on a contract or fee basis);
and
Federal Facilities (by Executive Order 13148).
B. What is Presented at these Training Courses?
The training courses present reporting requirements of EPCRA
section 313 and PPA section 6607. A variety of hands-on exercises using
the reporting forms (i.e., Form R or Form A) along with supporting
materials will be used to help you understand any reporting obligations
you might have under EPCRA section 313. The training courses are
scheduled in the spring so that you can prepare and submit your
report(s) for the Reporting Year 2000, forms due on or before July 1,
2001.
C. How Much Time is Required for the Training?
The full training course runs two days and a schedule for the 2-day
workshops is provided below (see Table 1). The course is divided into
three modules. The first module encompasses the first day and is
devoted to a general discussion of EPCRA section 313 and PPA section
6607 reporting requirements with exercises used to reinforce key
concepts. The second module is given in the morning of the second day,
and is designed to provide detailed information about the persistent,
bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemicals within the TRI program. The
third and final module is
[[Page 12783]]
given in the afternoon of the second day, and this module is designed
to provide an update to the TRI program and information about difficult
policy topics. Interested persons may register for both days (persons
with little or no background in EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607
reporting requirements) or just the second day (persons experienced in
preparing either Form R or Form A). In addition, EPA is conducting
abbreviated training courses. These courses are one day in duration
and, in some cases, are focused for a particular industry sector(s)
(see Table 2).
D. When are these Training Courses Offered and How Do I Register?
The schedules for training courses are provided in the tables
