This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to find this notice of
training course offerings applicable. Other types of entities not
listed in the table may also find this notice applicable. To determine
whether your facility could find this notice applicable, you should
carefully examine the applicability criteria in part 372 subpart B of
Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you have questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section. You may be able to take advantage of the training
courses if:
<bullet> Your facility is a facility covered under section 313 of
the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
<bullet> Your facility is a Federal facility that manufactures,

Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) or Executive Order 12856 (for

(SIC) codes and qualifiers:

II. What is Presented at These Training Courses?
The training courses present reporting requirements of EPCRA
section 313 and PPA section 6607. A variety of hands-on exercises using
the reporting forms (i.e., Form R) along with supporting materials will
be used to help you understand any reporting obligations you might have
under EPCRA section 313. The training courses are scheduled in the
spring so that you can prepare and submit your report(s) for the
Reporting Year 1999 on or before July 1, 2000.
III. How Much Time is Required for the Training?
The full training course runs 2 days and a schedule for the 2-day
workshops is provided below (see Table 1 under Unit IV.). The first day
is devoted to a general discussion of EPCRA section 313 and PPA section
6607 reporting requirements with exercises used to reinforce key
concepts. Beginning the second day, an update on the TRI Program will
begin. Interested persons may register for both days (persons with
little or no background in EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607
reporting requirements) or just the second day (persons experienced in
preparing either Form R or Form A). In addition, EPA is conducting
abbreviated training courses. These courses are 1 day in duration and,
in some cases, are focused for a particular industry sector(s) (see
Table 2 under Unit IV.).
