Phil,

I recently finished participating in a beta test of a software program
that the EPA will have available sometime in the spring of 2002 for use
in completing the form R/As due July 1, 2002.  The software is called
TRI-ME (Toxic Release Inventory - Made Easy) Version 2. Current plans
are for this to be completed in January 2002 and available sometime
after that. I don't know specifics of when/where it will be made
available but I believe it will be posted on the EPA web site.

Subject: [TN] EPA TRI reporting of lead usage


This topic (lead usage and disposal reporting) got bounced around
several months ago.  I know the IPC has spoken to the go'ment about the
ramifications this ruling brings and it is my understanding that the
feds turned a deaf ear to them.  So, to that end, has anyone attempted
to figure out what we (as small OEMs building electronic devices that
include circuit boards) are supposed to submit to the feds in the way of
reporting?  I've attempted to wade through the EPA documents and wish
there was a "Cliff Notes" version so I can figure out what we are
supposed to do without having to hire an expensive consultant.

Have I just opened a can of worms?

Phil Nutting
