A.1 Who Must Report Section 313 of EPCRA
requires that reports be filed by owners and
operators of facilities that meet all of the
following criteria The facility has 10 or more
full-time employee equivalents (i.e., a total of
20,000 hours or greater see 40 CFR 372.3)
and The facility is included in Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes 10 (except
1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20
through 39, 4911 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4939 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4953 (limited to facilities regulated
under RCRA Subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. section 6921 et
seq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery
services on a contract or fee basis) and The
facility manufactures (defined to include
importing), processes, or otherwise uses any
EPCRA section 313 chemical in quantities greater
than the established threshold in the course of a
calendar year. Executive Order 13148 extends
these reporting requirements to federal
facilities, regardless of their SIC code.

What is RSEI?Risk-Screening Environmental
Indicators

• The Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators
  (RSEI) is a computer-based screening tool for the
  evaluation of toxic chemical emissions and
  transfers from industrial facilities.
• RSEI is not a formal risk assessment! It does not
  estimate actual risk to individuals, but provides
  relative-risk comparisons for facilities,
  chemicals, geographic areas, and/or time periods.
  
• Whether a pounds-based, hazard-based, or
  risk-related perspective is chosen, the RSEI
  model delivers results in a matter of minutes or
  hours that previously would have required weeks,
  months, or even longer to produce.
• RSEI can help identify opportunities with the
  greatest potential for hazard or risk reduction,
  while saving considerable analytical resources.

5
What Factors Does the RSEI Model Consider?

• The RSEI model uses annual reporting from
  individual industrial facilities along with a
  variety of other information to evaluate chemical
  emissions and other waste management activities.
• RSEI incorporates detailed data from EPAs Toxics
  Release Inventory (TRI), the Integrated Risk
  Information System, the U.S. Census of
  population, and other sources.
• Using existing EPA models, RSEI incorporates the
  full spectrum of risk-related factors by
  considering
• the amounts of toxic chemicals that facilities
  release
• the environmental concentrations attributable
  to these releases
• the doses that people receive from these
  environmental concentrations
• the relative long-term toxicity of these doses
  and
• the number of people who are affected.

6
How Can the RSEI Model Be Used?

• As its name implies, RSEI can be used for
  screening level activities.
• It does not serve as a detailed or quantitative
  risk assessment, but can be used to identify
  situations where a more formal risk assessment is
  needed.
• RSEI can compare many of the pertinent
  risk-related chronic human health aspects
  associated with industrial releases of toxic
  chemicals and can provide risk-related
  comparisons for facilities, chemicals, geographic
  areas, and/or time periods.
• Results can be generated for virtually any level
  of aggregationfrom individual facilities to
  entire industries, or from local areas to the
  entire nation.
• Tracking changes in risk-related results over
  time is a way to measure progress in
  environmental protection and pollution prevention
  programs.

Where is More Information About RSEI Available?

• RSEI is available on CD-ROM from the TSCA
  Assistance Information Service at [phone]
  or tsca-hotline_at_epa.gov.
• The RSEI Home Page at http//www.epa.gov/oppt/rsei
  / provides additional information.
• This site has information on the RSEI
  methodology, the comprehensive peer review of
  RSEI, important caveats, and the strengths and
  limitations of the model.
