Tier II Chemical Inventory ReportingRequirements and Fee Instructions
Facility Reporting Requirements
SARA Title IIIand
Pennsylvania Act165
PSF-6 REV 11-01
Dear Sir/Madam:
This book includes basic compliance information as well as answers to commonly asked questions regarding Section312 of federal SARA Title III, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and thePennsylvania Hazardous Material Emergency Planning and Response Act (Act 165).
Specific information in this book includes reporting and fee requirements, instructions for completing the Emergencyand Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form, and the Tier II Chemical Inventory Invoice (if applicable to your facility),a blank Tier II form, and a list of the Local Emergency Planning Committees. Also included are guidelines for avoidingcommon problems the department encounters with the Tier II form and site plan. Finally, information is included aboutthe Electronic Data Exchange System (EDES), a user friendly software package developed by the department thatenables facilities to file their Tier II reports magnetically. EDES is paying significant dividends in reducing processingtime, eliminating paper and increasing the accuracy of data.
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council, which oversees the administration of these laws, requires that asite plan accompany the Tier II form. Site plans show specific facility information which greatly assists emergencypersonnel in responding to incidents such as spills, releases, fires, and explosions. This data can help save lives, minimizedamage to the facility and the surrounding environment, and may even save your business. However, in an effortto reduce unnecessary paperwork, if your site plan is already on file with the department and has notchanged, you do not need to send another copy.
If you have any questions about the material in this book or need additional information, please write or call PENNSAFEat the Department of Labor & Industry, Room 1623, Seventh & Forster Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17120; Telephone(717) 783-2071, FAX (717) 783-5099 or visit our website: www.dli.state.pa.us.

APPENDIX
AN OVERVIEW OF REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Reporting Requirements:
ANNUAL REPORT BY MARCH 1:
? Pennsylvania facilities covered by the federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard mustfile a Tier II form for:
1. Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs), as identified under Section 302, inquantities at or above the Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQs), or 500pounds (whichever is less); and/or
2. Hazardous chemicals, regulated by the federal OSHA Hazard CommunicationStandard, which are present at your facility at or above 10,000 pounds at anyone time during the calendar year.
INITIAL SUBMISSION WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS:
? Section 205 of Act 165 has been amended by the addition of subsection (d) relating to facilityduties. This amendment has great impact on facilities’ reporting requirements. Facilities arenow required to report the presence of hazardous material within 5 business days after thehazardous material is first present at the facility. Accordingly, facilities will now have to submita Tier II reporting form and site plan to Labor & Industry (as well as to their LEPC and local firedepartment) if they bring on any new hazardous material meeting the established thresholdrequirements that had not been reported during the previous calendar year. Hazardous materialsreported under this requirement must be reported again at the time of the annual filing and feepayment required on or before March 1st.
? Federal facilities were directed by Executive Order 12856, August 3, 1993, to comply withall provisions of EPCRA and the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA).
? For facilities required to file, a copy of the Tier II form and site plan must be sent to:1. Department of Labor & Industry
PENNSAFEP. O. Box 68571Harrisburg, PA 17106-8571
2. Local Emergency Planning Committee (see listing within the Appendix).3. Local Fire Department(s) with jurisdiction over the facility.
? Tier II forms must be submitted on or before March 1st of each year for the chemicals presentat the facility during the prior calendar year.
? The federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard definition of a hazardous chemical is"one that causes physical and/or health hazards." Because OSHA uses a performance basedset of criteria by which manufacturers determine a chemical's hazard properties, there is nota "list" of these chemicals. Facilities, therefore, must rely on Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDSs) to determine whether a chemical is hazardous under the federal OSHA HazardCommunication Standard.

? A reproducible copy of a Tier II form is included on page 10.
? SARA Title III provides an option for facilities to withhold location information for specific chemicalsby utilizing an alternative Tier II form known as a "Confidential Location Information Sheet." Theseforms may be requested from PENNSAFE.
? If you made changes to your previous site plan, you must submit a new one. The size of thesite plan can be 8-1/2" x 11" or 8-1/2" x 14" and must be legible. Site plans not meeting this criteriawill be returned. Instructions and an example are included in this book. If your site plan isidentical to the one previously submitted, you do not need to send another copy.
Fee Requirements:
? A facility required to file a Tier II form under SARA Title III shall pay a state fee of $10.00per chemical, unless otherwise exempted by Act 165.
? Checks must be made payable to: "Pennsylvania Hazardous Material Response Fund."
? Additional county-assessed fees for chemicals reported to the LEPC may also be applicable.The LEPC with jurisdiction over your facility can provide you with information concerningthose county-based fees.
EXEMPTIONS
Reporting Requirements:
? Facilities not covered by the federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, such as publicsector employers (i.e., state and local governments, public schools and public universities andprivate sector mining industry employers (except for oil and gas extraction)), are not requiredto file Tier II forms.
? Facilities which are covered by the federal OSHA Hazard Communication Standard that donot have an EHS at or above the TPQ or 500 pounds (whichever is less), and which do nothave any OSHA hazardous chemicals at or above 10,000 pounds, are not required to file aTier II form.
? The following items are exempt from Tier II reporting requirements:1. Products regulated by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).2. Articles.3. Household packaged products.4. Substances used in research and development labs, hospitals or other medical
facilities.5. Substances used in routine agricultural operations.
OR
6. Fertilizers held for sale by retailers.7. Retail service stations (Gasoline 75,000 and Diesel 100,000)
FEE REQUIREMENTS
? Facilities owned by federal, state and local governments are not required to pay fees under Act165.
? Family farm enterprises and service stations, including auto body repair shops, are not requiredto pay fees under Act 165, but are required to file reports if the criteria described on theprevious page are met.
1. Gasoline/Diesel Fuel Reporting
EPA raised the thresholds that trigger 312 reporting requirements for gasolineand diesel fuel stored entirely underground at retail gas stations that comply withrequirements for underground storage tanks (UST's new threshold levels are75,000 gallons for gasoline and 100,000 for diesel fuel). These reporting levelswill relieve most retail gas stations from reporting gasoline and diesel fuelunder EPCRA.

Improper Completion
1. Listing multiple facility addresses in the chemicalstorage location area on the form will not beaccepted. A separate Tier II form must becompleted for each facility.
2. If the chemical is or contains an ExtremelyHazardous Substance (EHS), complete the EHSblock and EHS chemical name.
3. Gasoline or diesel fuels should be reported as onechemical regardless of the grade (i.e. superunleaded, premium, unleaded).
4. If storage locations exceed the space provided,continue into next storage location area reportblock. Do not complete chemical descriptionwith duplicate chemical name. Leave blank orwrite, "Continued from above."
5. Reporting multiple well sites as a single facilityis acceptable provided the well sites are on acontiguous piece of property.

COMMON PROBLEMS TO AVOID WHEN COMPLETING ANDSUBMITTING THE TIER II FORM
6
C. Clear Copies of Site Plans
Be sure that the copies of the site plan submittedare clear and legible. Any data printed or handwrittenon the site plan must be legible. Blueprints or aerialsite plans are not acceptable. Submit plans displayingonly the exact physical locations of the reportedchemicals.
D. Size of Site Plans and Tier II Forms
The system used to electronically store and retrievethe site plans can accommodate paper no largerthan 8-1/2" x 14". It is acceptable to use more thanone page for the site plan in order to providesufficient details of your facility. An example of asite plan is on page 9.
COMPLETION AND SUBMISSIONOF TIER II SITE PLANS
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council(PEMC) has adopted the following criteria for site plansthat must accompany the Tier II form:
A. Plant Location (Include the followinginformation on the site plan):
1. Facility ID (FACID, if known), printed on theTier II form.
2. Facility name and address or physical location.Please specify full street address (not P.O.Box or mailing address). Upon receipt by thedepartment, the Tier II form is separated fromthe site plan for processing. Provide the facilityname, address, and facility ID on all pages ofyour Tier II report and site plan.
3. Latitude and longitude.
B. Location of Hazardous Chemicals
1. Identify plant buildings appropriately, either byname, numbers or letters.
2. Indicate or identify within or outside appropriatebuildings the location of each hazardouschemical reported. This can be done by usinggeometrical shapes such as circles, squares,etc. Placing the "name" of the hazardouschemical within or outside the buildings isacceptable, as long as the name is legible andthe information can be cross referenced to theTier II form.
3. Avoid color coding or shading.
NOTE: If the site plan is identical to the onepreviously submitted, you do not needto send another copy.

Section 312 of Title III requires owners or operatorsthat have hazardous chemicals on hand in quantitiesequal to or greater than set threshold levels to submitthis Tier II form to the State Emergency ResponseCommission, a local emergency planning committee,and the fire department with jurisdiction over thefacility.
This request may apply to the owner or operator ofany facility that is required, under regulationsimplementing the Occupational Safety and HealthAct of 1970, to prepare or have available a MaterialSafety Data Sheet (MSDS) for a hazardous chemicalpresent at the facility. MSDS requirements arespecified in the Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) Hazard CommunicationStandard, found in Title 29 of the Code of Federal
Regulations at §1910.1200. This form does nothave to be submitted if all of the chemicals locatedat your facility are excluded under Section 311 (e)of Title III.
WHAT CHEMICALS ARE INCLUDED
You must report the required information on thisTier II form for each hazardous chemical present atyour facility in quantities equal to or greater thanestablished threshold amounts (discussed below),unless the chemicals are excluded under Section311(e) of Title III. Hazardous chemicals are anysubstances for which your facility must maintain aMSDS under OSHA's Hazard CommunicationStandard.
11
CHEMICALS THAT AREEXCLUDED
Section 311 (e) of Title III excludes the followingsubstances:
(i) Any food, food additive, color additive, drug,or cosmetic regulated by the Food and DrugAdministration;
(ii) Any substance present as a solid in anymanufactured item to the extent exposure to thesubstance does not occur under normalconditions of use;
(iii) Any substance to the extent it is used forpersonal, family, or household purposes, or ispresent in the same form and concentration asa product packaged for distribution and use bythe general public;

OSHA regulations, Section §1910.1200(b),stipulate exemptions from the requirement to prepareor have available an MSDS.
REPORTING THRESHOLDS
Minimum thresholds have been established forTier II reporting under Title III, Section 312. Thesethresholds are as follows:
For Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs)designated under Section 302 of Title III, the reportingthreshold is 500 pounds (or 227 kg.) or the thresholdplanning quantity (TPQ), whichever is lower.
For all other hazardous chemicals for whichfacilities are required to have or prepare a MSDS,the minimum reporting threshold is 10,000 pounds(or 4,540 kg.).
You need to report hazardous chemicals that werepresent at your facility at any time during theprevious calendar year at levels that equal orexceed these thresholds. For instructions onthreshold determinations for components of mixturessee, "What about mixtures?" on page 14 of theseinstructions.
A requesting official may limit the responsesrequired under Tier II by specifying particularchemicals or groups of chemicals. Such requestsapply to hazardous chemicals regardless ofestablished thresholds.
12
REPORTING PERIOD
Enter the appropriate calendar year, beginning January1 and ending December 31.

WHEN TO SUBMIT THIS FORM
Owners or operators of facilities that have hazardouschemicals on hand in quantities equal to or greater thanset threshold levels must submit the Tier II form byMarch 1.
Section 205 of Act 165 has been amended by theaddition of subsection (d) relating to facility duties.This amendment has great impact on facilities’ reportingrequirements. Facilities are now required to report thepresence of hazardous material within 5 business daysafter the hazardous material is first present at thefacility. Accordingly, facilities will now have to submita Tier II reporting form and site plan to Labor &Industry (as well as to their LEPC and local firedepartment) if they bring on any new hazardousmaterial meeting the established threshold requirementsthat had not been reported during the previous calendaryear. Hazardous materials reported under thisrequirement must be reported again at the time of theannual filing and fee payment required on or beforeMarch 1st.

TIER II INSTRUCTIONS
CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Description, Hazards, Amounts, and Locations
The main section of the Tier II form requiresspecific information on amounts and locations ofhazardous chemicals, as defined in the OSHAHazard Communication Standard.
If you choose to indicate that all of the informationon a specific hazardous chemical is identical to thatsubmitted last year, check the appropriate optionalbox provided at the right side of the storage codesand locations on the Tier II form. Chemicaldescriptions, hazards, amounts, and locations mustbe provided even if the information is identical tothat submitted last year.
*What units should I use?
Calculate all amounts as weight in pounds. Toconvert gas or liquid volume to weight in pounds,multiply by an appropriate density factor.
*What about mixtures?
If a chemical is part of a mixture, you have theoption of reporting either the weight of the entiremixture or only the portion of the mixture that is aparticular hazardous chemical (e.g., if a hazardoussolution weighs 100 lbs. but is composed of only5% of a particular hazardous chemical, you canindicate either 100 lbs. of the mixture or 5 lbs. of thechemical).
The option used for each mixture must be consistentwith the option used in your Section 311 reporting.
Because EHSs are important to Section 303 planning,EHSs have lower thresholds. The amount of an EHSat a facility (both pure EHS substances and EHSs inmixtures) must be aggregated for purposes ofthreshold determination. It is suggested that theaggregation calculation be done as a first step inmaking the threshold determination. Once youdetermine whether a threshold for an EHS has been
reached, you should report either the total weight ofthe EHS at your facility, or the weight of eachmixture containing the EHS.
CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION
1. Enter the Chemical Abstract Service registrynumber (CAS). For mixtures, enter the CASnumber of the mixture as a whole if it hasbeen assigned a number distinct from itsconstituents. For a mixture that has no CASnumber, leave this item blank or report theCAS numbers of as many constituentchemicals as possible.
If you are withholding the name of a chemicalin accordance with criteria specified inTitle III, Section 322, enter the generic classor category that is structurally descriptiveof the chemical (e.g., list toulene diisocyanateas organic isocyanate) and check the boxmarked Trade Secret. Trade secretinformation should be submitted to EPA andmust include a substantiation. Please referto EPA's final regulation on trade secrecy(53 FR 28772, July 29, 1988) for detailedinformation on how to submit trade secrecyclaims.
2. Enter the chemical name or common nameof each hazardous chemical.
3. Check box for ALL applicable descriptors:pure or mixture; and solid, liquid, or gas;and whether the chemical is or contains anEHS.
4. If the chemical is a mixture containing anEHS, enter the chemical name of each EHSin the mixture.
EXAMPLE:You have pure chlorine gas on hand, as wellas two mixtures that contain liquid chlorine.You write "chlorine" and enter the CASnumber. Then you check "pure" and "mix" -- as well as "liquid" and "gas."
14
MAXIMUM AMOUNT
1. For each hazardous chemical, estimate thegreatest amount present at your facility onany single day during the reporting period.
2. Find the appropriate range value code inTable 1.
3. Enter this range value as the MaximumAmount.

EXAMPLE:The solvent composed of 10% benzenewas present for 315 days at your facility.Enter 315 in the space provided.
AVERAGE DAILY AMOUNT
1. For each hazardous chemical, estimate theaverage weight in pounds that was presentat your facility during the year.
To do this, total all daily weights and divideby the number of days the chemical waspresent on the site.
2. Find the appropriate range value in Table I.
3. Enter this range value as the Average DailyAmount.
NUMBER OF DAYS ON-SITE
Enter the number of days that the hazardouschemical was found on-site.
You received one large shipment of a solventmixture last year. The shipment filled five5,000 - gallon storage tanks. You know thatthe solvent contains 10% benzene, which is ahazardous chemical.
You figure that 10% of 25,000 gallons is 2,500gallons. You also know that the density ofbenzene is 7.29 pounds per gallon, so youmultiply 2,500 gallons by 7.29 pounds pergallon to get a weight of 18,225 pounds.
Then you look at Table I and find that the rangevalue 04 corresponds to 18,225. You enter 04as the Maximum Amount.
EXAMPLE:EXAMPLE:
The 25,000 gallon shipment of solvent youreceived last year was gradually used up andcompletely gone in 315 days. The sum of thedaily volume levels in the tank is 4,536,000gallons. By dividing 4,536,000 gallons by315 days on-site, you calculate an averagedaily amount of 14,400 gallons.
You already know that the solvent contains10% benzene, which is a hazardous chemical.Since 10% of 14,400 is 1,440, you figure thatyou had an average of 1,440 gallons of benzene.You also know that the density of benzene is7.29 pounds per gallon, so you multiply 1,440by 7.29 to get a weight of 10,500 pounds.
Then you look at Table I and find that the rangevalue 04 corresponds to 10,500. You enter 04as the Average Daily Amount.
16
EXAMPLE:The benzene in the main building is kept in atank inside the building, at ambient pressureand less than ambient temperature.
Table II shows you that the code for a tankinside a building is C. Table III shows you thatthe code for ambient pressure is 1, and thecode for less than ambient temperature is 6.

Q. Do you accept electronic reporting ofTier II?
A. Yes, the bureau has developed the ElectronicData Exchange System (EDES) to helpfacilities file their Tier II forms electronically.EDES is provided to any requesting facilityfree of charge (see Appendix for moreinformation.)
Q. The Tier II report form has a site planunder the optional attachments section. Isa site plan required in Pennsylvania withthe submission of a Tier II report?
A. Yes, in Pennsylvania, a site plan is required.However, if the site plan is identical to the onealready on file with the Department and hasnot been changed, you do not have to sendanother copy.
Q. Do fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel,which have many grades (i.e., regular,unleaded, leaded, premium, etc.) have tobe reported as different chemicals or canthey be reported simply as "gasoline ordiesel fuel?"
A. It has been determined by the EPA and PEMCthat multi-grade fuel such as gasoline and/ordiesel fuel can be reported as one chemical.This would also mean that a fee of $10 ratherthan $30 would be due.
Q. Can I list multiple facility locations in thechemical storage location area of the TierII form?
A. No. A separate Tier II form must be completedfor each facility location that has hazardouschemicals on site in quantities equal to orgreater than the threshold planning quantities.
Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs), asidentified under Section 302, in quantities at orabove the Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQs),or 500 pounds (whichever is less); and/or
Hazardous chemicals, regulated by the federalOSHA Hazard Communication Standard, whichare present at your facility at or above 10,000pounds at any one time during the calendar year.
Q. How are mixtures handled for Sections311 and 312 reporting?
A. The owner or operator of a facility may meetthe requirements of Sections 311 and 312by choosing one of two options:
1. Provide the required information on eachcomponent that is a hazardous chemicalwithin the mixture. In this case, theconcentration of the hazardous chemical inweight percent must be multiplied by themass (in pounds) of the mixture to determinethe quantity of the hazardous chemical in themixture. No MSDS has to be submitted forhazardous components in a mixture withquantities in concentrations under 1% forcarcinogens and 1% for all other hazardouscomponents of the total weight of the mixture.
ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
During the process of conducting hundreds of training programs, the bureau has answered many questionsregarding the filing of Tier II forms and corresponding fees associated with EPCRA and PA Act 165. Belowyou will find a number of the most commonly asked Questions and Answers.
PENNSAFEPennsylvania Safety First
19
ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS, cont.
Section 205 of Act 165 has been amended by the addition of subsection (d) relating to facilityduties. This amendment has great impact onfacilities’ reporting requirements. Facilities arenow required to report the presence of hazardousmaterial within 5 business days after the hazardousmaterial is first present at the facility. Accordingly,facilities will now have to submit a Tier IIreporting form and site plan to Labor & Industry(as wellas to their LEPC and local firedepartment) if they bring on any new hazardousmaterial meeting the established thresholdrequirements that had not been reported duringthe previous calendar year. Hazardous materialsreported under this requirement must be reportedagain at the time of the annual filing and feepayment required on or before March 1st.
Q. Is household heating fuel exempt fromSections 311 and 312 requirements?
A. Heating oil is exempt under SARA Title IIIreporting under two conditions. First, if thefacility in question is exempt from maintaininga Material Safety Data Sheet under OSHAHazard Communication Standard. Secondly,if the fuel oil is stored in quantities below thereporting threshold.
Q. Would a farm supplier or retail distributorbe excluded from Sections 311 and 312reporting based on the agriculturalexemptions?
A. Under Section 311(e)(5), retailers areexempted from the reporting requirementsfor fertilizers only. Therefore, substancessold as fertilizers would not need to be reportedunder Sections 311 and 312 by retail sellers.However, other agricultural chemicals, suchas pesticides, would have to be reported byretailers and suppliers of such chemicals.
20
2. Provide the required information on themixture as a whole, using the total quantityof the mixture.
When the composition of a mixture isunknown, facilities should report on themixture as a whole, using the total quantityof the mixture. Whichever option the owneror operator decides to use, the reporting ofmixtures must be consistent for Sections311 and 312.
Q. Are hospitals exempt from Tier IIreporting?
A. The exemption status does not apply to thehospital itself but to any substances, to theextent that they are used in a researchlaboratory, hospital or other medical facilityunder the direct supervision of a technicallyqualified person. Examples of hazardoussubstances not excluded are chlorine, heatingfuel, gasoline and cleaning products.
Q. Is generic reporting of other chemicalspermissible?
A. Generic reporting of other chemicals is permittedwith certain important qualifications. First andmost importantly, the physical and health hazardsposed by the generic class of chemicals must bethe same for all of the chemicals. For example,in a group of flammables, some may be explosiveand some may not be explosive. In this example,generic reporting would not be permitted. Ifhowever, for example, there are a group ofsolvents in the same family and they all pose thesame hazard such as reactivity, then these couldbe grouped together and reported generically.
Q. Must I report a hazardous chemical that ison-site for less than 24 hours?
A. Yes. You need to report hazardous chemicalson-site if they are at or above the establishedreporting threshold (and are not exempt fromSARA Title III).

ELECTRONIC FILING
An electronic submission can be forwarded to the Bureau or county agency in lieu of EPA’s hard copy report (OMB No.
2050-0072). Approximately 26% of Pennsylvania’s employers are currently filing these reports electronically to the state.
PENNSAFE offers this Windows NT/95/98 compatible software program which will automate your Tier II filing requirements.We then make this information readily available on-line to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. The on-linedata may mitigate property damage to your facility and can save lives in the event of an emergency. The software featureshelp keys, maintenance of historical data, copy and global function abilities, houses EPA’s Extremely Hazardous Substance302 chemical listing and much more!
Verify with your county agency whether they accept the magnetic format. If not, the software will print your Tier II report so
you can submit a hard copy version to your county agency and local fire company, if necessary.
NOTE TO PREVIOUS VERSION USERS:
If you are updating your version of EDES, the software will automatically overlay the update and retain the existing chemicalinformation. YOU MUST INSTALL TO THE SAME FOLDER LOCATION AS THE PREVIOUS VERSION. You should not be
required to enter a FacID verification code if you install over top of the previous version.
WE RECOMMEND BACKING UP YOUR CURRENT DATA ONTO A DISKETTE BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEWSOFTWARE VERSION. (File > Export/Certification > Select all facilities and desired report year > Export only to A:)
KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN PRINTERS:
We are aware of a problem with printing hard copy reports of facility data to certain printer types (HP specifically). This is a16-bit software which does NOT print in postscript. The data is sent line by line to the user’s default printer. The report willprint according to the PRINTER’S default settings. If you are experiencing alignment problems with the hard copy report,please make manual corrections to the report. The data on the diskette will be unaffected. We hope to have this problemcorrected in a new 32-bit version of the software for next year’s filing period. Please contact us if you have any otherquestions.
NOTE TO NEW USERS REGARDING SOFTWARE VERIFICATION CODES:
If this is the first time you are using EDES, the system will assign you a temporary ‘90000’ ID number(s). After adding all yourfacilities’ information, contact the Bureau of PENNSAFE using the submission form below to receive your permanent FacIDnumber and verification code.
