370.41—What is Tier I inventory information?
Tier I information provides State and local officials and the public with information on the general types and locations of hazardous chemicals present at your facility during the previous calendar year. The Tier I information is the minimum information that you must provide to be in compliance with the inventory reporting requirements of this part. If you are reporting Tier I information, you must report aggregate information on hazardous chemicals by hazard categories. There are two health hazard categories and three physical hazard categories for purposes of reporting under this part. These five hazard categories are defined in 40 CFR 370.66. Tier I information includes all of the following:
(a)
Certification. The owner or operator or the officially designated representative of the owner or operator must certify that all information included in the Tier I submission is true, accurate, and complete as follows: “I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information and that based on my inquiry of those individuals responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete.” This certification shall be accompanied by your full name, official title, signature, date signed, and total number of pages in the submission including all attachments. All other pages must also contain your signature or signature stamp, the date you signed the certification, and the total number of pages in the submission.
(c)
The complete name (and company identifier where appropriate) and address of your facility. Include the full street address or state road, the city, county, State and zip code.
(g)
Emergency contact. The name, title, and phone number(s) of at least one local individual or office that can act as a referral if emergency responders need assistance in responding to a chemical accident at your facility. You must provide an emergency phone number where such emergency information will be available 24 hours a day, every day.

An indication whether the information being reported is identical to that submitted the previous year.
