<p>You must provide information on your <span class="tooltip definition tooltipstered">parent company</span>. For TRI Reporting purposes, “parent company” is defined at 40 CFR 372.3 beginning with RY
2022. Parent company means the highest-level company (or companies) of the facility’s ownership hierarchy as of December 31 of the year for which data are being reported according to the following
instructions. The U.S. parent company is located within the United States while the foreign parent company is located outside the United States:</p>
<p> (1) If the <span class="tooltip definition tooltipstered">facility</span> is entirely owned by a single U.S. company that is not owned
by another company, that single company is the U.S. parent company.</p>
<p> (2) If the facility is entirely owned by a single U.S. company that is, itself, owned by another U.S.-based company (e.g., it is a
division or subsidiary of a higher-level company), the highest-level company in the ownership hierarchy is the U.S. parent company. If there is a higher-level parent company that is outside of the
United States, the highest-level foreign company in the ownership hierarchy is the foreign parent company.</p>
<p> (3) If the facility is owned by more than one company (e.g., company A owns 40 percent, company B owns 35 percent, and company C owns
25 percent), the highest-level U.S. company with the largest ownership interest in the facility is the U.S. parent company. If there is a higher-level foreign company in the ownership hierarchy, that
company is the foreign parent company.</p>
<p> (4) If the facility is owned by a 50:50 joint venture or a cooperative, the joint venture or cooperative is its own parent company.
</p>
<p> (5) If the facility is entirely owned by a foreign company (i.e., without a U.S.-based subsidiary within the facility’s ownership
hierarchy), the highest-level foreign parent company is the facility’s foreign parent company.</p>
<p> (6) If the facility is federally owned, the highest-level federal agency or department operating the facility is the U.S. parent
company.</p>
<p> (7) If the facility is owned by a non-federal public entity (e.g., a <span class="tooltip definition tooltipstered">State</span>,
municipal, or tribal government), that entity is the U.S. parent company.</p>
<p>Note that under the final rule for defining “parent company,” all TRI facilities must report on their highest-level U.S. parent company according to the above instructions starting with RY 2022.
However, the requirement to report a facility’s highest-level foreign parent company, if applicable, will be effective with RY 2023, for forms due by July 1, 2024.</p>
<p>EPA has also provided a guidance document to assist TRI facilities with interpreting the appropriate parent company(ies) to report, including examples under different ownership scenarios. This
guidance document is available at:
<a href="https://guideme.epa.gov/ords/guideme_ext/f?p=guideme:gd-title:::::title:parent_company">https://guideme.epa.gov/ords/guideme_ext/f?p=guideme:gd-title:::::title:parent_company</a>. If there is
no higher-level U.S. company owning the TRI facility, select the “No U.S. Parent Company (for TRI reporting purposes)” checkbox. All facilities must report on ownership. Nearly all facilities will
report a U.S. parent unless a facility has entirely foreign ownership.</p>

<p><strong>If two plants are separate establishments under the same site management, must they have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers? </strong></p>
<p>They may have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers, especially if they are distinctly separate business units. However, different divisions of a company located at the same facility usually do
not have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers.</p>

</p>
<p>The electricity generating facility should enter in Part I, Section 5.1 of the Form R the name of the holding or parent company, consortium, joint venture, or other entity that owns, operates,
or controls the facility.</p>

<p><strong>A covered facility sells one of its establishments to a new owner. The operator of the newly sold establishment, however, does not change. The same operator operates the newly sold
establishment and the rest of the facility. Although the facility makes its threshold determinations based on the activities at the entire facility (including the newly sold establishment),
the facility chooses to report separately for the different establishments. What parent name should the newly sold establishment use, the parent name of the owner or the parent name of the
operator (i.e., the same as the rest of the facility)?</strong></p>
<p>All establishments of a covered facility must report the parent name of the facility. Therefore, in the instance described above, the newly sold establishment should use the parent name of the
facility operator (i.e., the same parent name the rest of the facility is using.)</p>

<p><strong>Two distinct NAICS code operations that are covered under EPCRA Section 313 (e.g., an electricity generating facility and a cement plant) are located on adjacent properties and are
owned by the same parent company. The two operations are operated completely independently of one another (e.g., separate accounting procedures, employees, etc.). Are these two operations
considered one facility under EPCRA Section 313? </strong></p>
<p>Yes. Under EPCRA Section 313 a facility is defined as: all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and
which are owned or operated by the same person (40 CFR Section 372.3). Because these two operations are located on adjacent properties and are owned by the same person they are considered one
facility for EPCRA Section 313 reporting purposes.</p>

<p><strong>Company A purchases a facility from Company B between January 1 and June 30, of the same year. For the reporting forms covering the prior year, which company’s name and identification
number should appear on the Form R or Form A submission? </strong></p>
<p>In the case that a facility is purchased between January 1 and June 30, the form submitted for the previous year must reflect the name used by the facility on December 31 of that reporting year
(Monthly Call Center Report Question, EPA530-R-98-005; October 1998). In this example, Company B’s name should appear on the form because it owned the facility for the duration of the reporting
year. The TRI identification number is location-specific; thus, the identification number will stay the same even if the facility changes names, production processes, or NAICS codes. With regard
to reporting, the owner or operator of the facility on the annual July 1 reporting deadline (Company A) is primarily responsible for reporting the data for the previous year’s operations at that
facility. However, all prior owners and operators back to January 1 of the year covered in the report may also be held responsible if the current owner or operator does not submit a report.</p>

are owned and operated by Company A and site 3 and its buildings and structures are owned and operated by Company B. The middle site, site 2 and its buildings and structures, are owned by
Company A and operated by Company B (see diagram). Are all three sites and their buildings and structures considered separate facilities under EPCRA Section 313? Who is responsible for

<p>Under 40 CFR Section 372.3 a facility is defined as "all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and
which are owned or operated by the same person." Because all buildings and structures located on sites 1 and 2 are located on contiguous property and are owned by the same person, they are
considered one facility. Because all buildings and structures located on sites 2 and 3 are located on contiguous property and are operated by the same person, they are also considered one
facility. Therefore, for purposes of determining thresholds, the toxic chemicals manufactured, processed, and otherwise used at site 2 must be counted toward both Facility A’s and Facility B’s
threshold determinations. Because the operator is primarily responsible for reporting, estimating and reporting releases and other waste management calculations for sites 2 and 3 are the primary
responsibility of Company B, and the release and other waste management reporting for site 1 is the primary responsibility of Company A. EPA allows the release and other waste management
reporting to be done in this manner to avoid "double-counting" releases and waste management activities at site 2. However, provided thresholds have been exceeded, if no reports are
received from a covered facility both the owner and the operator are liable for penalties.</p>

For TRI Reporting purposes, “parent company” is defined at 40 CFR 372.3 beginning with RY 2022. Parent company means the highest-level company (or companies) of the facility’s ownership hierarchy as of December 31 of the year for which data are being reported according to the following instructions. The U.S. parent company is located within the United States while the foreign parent company is located outside the United States: (1) If the facility is entirely owned by a single U.S. company that is not owned by another company, that single company is the U.S. parent company. (2) If the facility is entirely owned by a single U.S. company that is, itself, owned by another U.S.-based company (e.g., it is a division or subsidiary of a higher-level company), the highest-level company in the ownership hierarchy is the U.S. parent company. If there is a higher-level parent company that is outside of the United States, the highest-level foreign company in the ownership hierarchy is the foreign parent company. (3) If the facility is owned by more than one company (e.g., company A owns 40 percent, company B owns 35 percent, and company C owns 25 percent), the highest-level U.S. company with the largest ownership interest in the facility is the U.S. parent company. If there is a higher-level foreign company in the ownership hierarchy, that company is the foreign parent company. (4) If the facility is owned by a 50:50 joint venture or a cooperative, the joint venture or cooperative is its own parent company. (5) If the facility is entirely owned by a foreign company (i.e., without a U.S.-based subsidiary within the facility’s ownership hierarchy), the highest-level foreign parent company is the facility’s foreign parent company. (6) If the facility is federally owned, the highest-level federal agency or department operating the facility is the U.S. parent company. (7) If the facility is owned by a non-federal public entity (e.g., a State, municipal, or tribal government), that entity is the U.S. parent company. Note that under the final rule for defining “parent company,” all TRI facilities must report on their highest-level U.S. parent company according to the above instructions starting with RY 2022. However, the requirement to report a facility’s highest-level foreign parent company, if applicable, will be effective with RY 2023, for forms due by July 1, 2024. EPA has also provided a guidance document to assist TRI facilities with interpreting the appropriate parent company(ies) to report, including examples under different ownership scenarios. This guidance document is available at: https://guideme.epa.gov/ords/guideme_ext/f?p=guideme:gd-title:::::title:parent_company. If there is no higher-level U.S. company owning the TRI facility, select the “No U.S. Parent Company (for TRI reporting purposes)” checkbox. All facilities must report on ownership. Nearly all facilities will report a U.S. parent unless a facility has entirely foreign ownership. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 NAME OF PARENT COMPANY Enter the name of the corporation or other business entity that is your U.S. parent company. If your facility has no parent company based in the U.S., select the “No U.S. Parent Company (for TRI reporting purposes)” checkbox. To improve data quality, TRI facilities must report their parent company names according to the standardized format. TRI-MEweb is preloaded with the standardized parent company names. A full list of parent company names for RY 2022 is available for download at: https://guideme.epa.gov/ords/guideme_ext/f?p=guideme:rfi-home#downloadable.

The number may be obtained from the treasurer or financial officer of the company or by visiting this website: https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/lookup.html. If your parent company does not have a D&B number, you should check “Parent Company D&B Number Not Applicable.” EXAMPLE 11: IDENTIFYING THE PARENT COMPANY When a facility changes ownership after a Form R has been submitted, who is required to respond to a Notice of Non-Compliance (NON) related to the Form R? Is the current or prior owner/operator required to respond to the NON? The current owner/operator has the primary responsibility for responding to a NON. However, all prior owners/operators back to January 1 of the reporting year may also be held responsible if the current owner/operator does not respond to the NON in an accurate, complete, and timely manner. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #96 Who is the parent company for a 50/50 joint venture? The 50/50 joint venture is its own parent company. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #99 Mom and Pop Plastics is a wholly owned subsidiary of a major chemical company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Oil Corporation, located in St. Paul, MN. Which is the parent company? Big Oil Corporation is the parent company. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #101 EXAMPLE 12: REPORTING FOR MULTIPLE SITES AND/OR OWNERS If two plants are separate establishments under the same site management, must they have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers? They may have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers, especially if they are distinctly separate business units. However, different divisions of a company located at the same facility usually do not have separate Dun & Bradstreet numbers. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #118 An electricity generating facility (EGF) is composed of multiple independent owners. Each individual owner runs his/her own separate operation, but each has a financial interest in the operation of the entire facility. What name should be entered as the parent company in Part I, Section 5.1 of the Form R? Should the facility report under one holding company name? The electricity generating facility should enter in Part I, Section 5.1 of the Form R the name of the holding or parent company, consortium, joint venture, or other entity that owns, operates, or controls the facility. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #98 A covered facility sells one of its establishments to a new owner. The operator of the newly sold establishment, however, does not change. The same operator operates the newly sold establishment and the rest of the facility. Although the facility makes its threshold determinations based on the activities at the entire facility (including the newly sold establishment), the facility chooses to report separately for the different establishments. What parent name should the newly sold establishment use, the parent name of the owner or the parent name of the operator (i.e., the same as the rest of the facility)? All establishments of a covered facility must report the parent name of the facility. Therefore, in the instance described above, the newly sold establishment should use the parent name of the facility operator (i.e., the same parent name the rest of the facility is using.) EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #102 Two distinct NAICS code operations that are covered under EPCRA Section 313 (e.g., an electricity generating facility and a cement plant) are located on adjacent properties and are owned by the same parent company. The two operations are operated completely independently of one another (e.g., separate accounting procedures, employees, etc.). Are these two operations considered one facility under EPCRA Section 313? Yes. Under EPCRA Section 313 a facility is defined as: all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same person (40 CFR Section 372.3). Because these two operations are located on adjacent properties and are owned by the same person they are considered one facility for EPCRA Section 313 reporting purposes. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #23 Company A purchases a facility from Company B between January 1 and June 30, of the same year. For the reporting forms covering the prior year, which company’s name and identification number should appear on the Form R or Form A submission? In the case that a facility is purchased between January 1 and June 30, the form submitted for the previous year must reflect the name used by the facility on December 31 of that reporting year (Monthly Call Center Report Question, EPA530-R-98-005; October 1998). In this example, Company B’s name should appear on the form because it owned the facility for the duration of the reporting year. The TRI identification number is location-specific; thus, the identification number will stay the same even if the facility changes names, production processes, or NAICS codes. With regard to reporting, the owner or operator of the facility on the annual July 1 reporting deadline (Company A) is primarily responsible for reporting the data for the previous year’s operations at that facility. However, all prior owners and operators back to January 1 of the year covered in the report may also be held responsible if the current owner or operator does not submit a report. EPCRA Section 313 Questions and Answers Document 2019 Consolidation Document, Question #91 A piece of contiguous property consists of three covered sites with various buildings, structures and equipment. The three sites are owned by two different companies - Company A and Company B. All three sites operate completely independently of each other and have separate personnel, finances, and environmental reporting systems. Site 1 and its buildings and structures are owned and operated by Company A and site 3 and its buildings and structures are owned and operated by Company B. The middle site, site 2 and its buildings and structures, are owned by Company A and operated by Company B (see diagram). Are all three sites and their buildings and structures considered separate facilities under EPCRA Section 313? Who is responsible for reporting for each? Site 1 Owned and operated by A Site 2 Owned by A and operated by B Site 3 Owned and operated by B Under 40 CFR Section 372.3 a facility is defined as "all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same person." Because all buildings and structures located on sites 1 and 2 are located on contiguous property and are owned by the same person, they are considered one facility. Because all buildings and structures located on sites 2 and 3 are located on contiguous property and are operated by the same person, they are also considered one facility. Therefore, for purposes of determining thresholds, the toxic chemicals manufactured, processed, and otherwise used at site 2 must be counted toward both Facility A’s and Facility B’s threshold determinations. Because the operator is primarily responsible for reporting, estimating and reporting releases and other waste management calculations for sites 2 and 3 are the primary responsibility of Company B, and the release and other waste management reporting for site 1 is the primary responsibility of Company A. EPA allows the release and other waste management reporting to be done in this manner to avoid "double-counting" releases and waste management activities at site 2. However, provided thresholds have been exceeded, if no reports are received from a covered facility both the owner and the operator are liable for penalties.
