370.42—What is Tier II inventory information?
Tier II information provides State and local officials and the public with specific information on amounts and locations of hazardous chemicals present at your facility during the previous calendar year. If you are reporting Tier II information, you must include:
(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 II 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 must be accompanied by your full name, official title, original signature, date signed, and total number of pages in the submission including all Confidential and Non-Confidential Information Sheets and 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.
(h)
An indication whether the information being reported is identical to that submitted the previous year.
(1)
Provide the chemical name or the common name of the chemical as provided on the Material Safety Data Sheet and its Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number. If you are withholding the name in accordance with trade secret criteria, you must provide the generic class or category that is structurally descriptive of the chemical and indicate that the name is withheld because of trade secrecy. Trade secret criteria are addressed in § 370.64(a).
(2)
Indicate whether the chemical is: pure or mixture; solid, liquid, or gas; and whether the chemical is or contains an EHS.
(3)
If the chemical is a mixture containing an EHS, provide the chemical name of each EHS in the mixture.
(4)
Indicate which hazard categories apply to the chemical. The five hazard categories are defined in § 370.66.
(5)
Provide an estimate (in ranges) of the maximum amount of the hazardous chemical present at your facility on any single day during the preceding calendar year. You must use codes that correspond to different ranges. The range codes are in § 370.43.
(6)
Provide an estimate (in ranges) of the average daily amount of the hazardous chemical present at your facility during the preceding calendar year. You must use codes that correspond to different ranges. The range codes are in § 370.43.
(7)
The maximum number of days that the hazardous chemical was present at your facility during the preceding calendar year.
(8)
(i)
Provide a brief description of the precise location of the hazardous chemical at your facility. You may also attach one of the following with your Tier II inventory form.
(A)
A site plan with site coordinates indicated for buildings, lots, areas, etc. throughout your facility.
(B)
A list of site coordinate abbreviations that correspond to buildings, lots, areas, etc. throughout your facility.
(C)
A description of dikes and other safeguard measures for storage locations throughout your facility.
(ii)
Under EPCRA section 324, you may choose to withhold from disclosure to the public the location information for a specific chemical. If you choose to withhold the location information from disclosure to the public, you must clearly indicate that the information is “confidential.” You must provide the confidential location information on a separate sheet from the other Tier II information (which will be disclosed to the public), and attach the Confidential Location Information Sheet to the other Tier II information. Indicate any attachments you are including.
(9)
Provide a brief description of the manner of storage of the hazardous chemical, including container type, temperature and pressure for each location listed. You must use codes that correspond to different storage types and temperature and pressure conditions. The storage codes are in § 370.43. If the specific location for which you are reporting storage conditions is a “confidential” location, then you must report the storage conditions on a separate Confidential Location Information Sheet.
