If you use more than 100 pounds of lead per year, you still must have 10 or
more full-time employees, or the two of you might work a total of 20,000
equivalent hours (it just seems like 200-hours per week each).  So, you
would be exempt from TRI reporting.  I read that the EPA is expecting to
receive more than 96,000 new reports.  Looks like there is some job creation
going on at EPA.

List, after reading the first few lines of Section 313, the TRI forms, is
says that certain criteria must first be met, one of which is that the
manufacturer must have at least 10 employees. I manufacture printed circuit
boards in a shop that can hardly get smaller unless one of us quits! There
are two of us. Yet it could be possible that we exceed the 100 pound limit.
Am I still exempt from having to file a report? Also, are the forms sent out
automatically? I know we are in someone's database since they did some phone
surveys a couple years ago to ask questions about our lead usage.
