Subject: 	Form R Reporting Extension

During the week of July 20th, EPA will announce in the Federal Register that
it is extending the reporting deadline for facilities required to submit Toxic
Release Inventory (or TRI) reports for calendar year 1996 under EPCRA Section
313. The new reporting deadline for TRI Form R's and Form A's is September 8,
1997. The reporting deadline was previously August 1,1997.   

EPA is offering the grace period to provide companies with adequate time to
prepare and submit complete and accurate TRI reports.  The allowance of
additional time for reporting applies only to the EPCRA Section 313 reporting
obligations for TRI reports, covering calendar year 1996 activities.  It does
not apply to any other EPCRA reporting obligations, or to any TRI reports due
for past or future reporting years.

This extension applies to the federal TRI program.  It may or may not apply to
states who require the submission of forms similar to the federal Form R.

EPA has revised the 1996 reporting form to provide for breakout information on
Class I underground injection wells and RCRA Subtitle C landfills. 
Specifically, the revised Form R requests new information to distinguish the
class and location of on-site underground injection wells into which toxic
chemicals are disposed, and information on the type of on-site landfills used
to dispose of wastes containing toxic chemicals.

Eligible facilities are encouraged to report using the abbreviated Form A,
also known as the annual certification statement (which is a shorter form that
can be used by qualifying facilities that generate small amounts of TRI
chemicals in waste).
