EPCRA Amendment Summary Submit report/notices according to timeline Include North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code on Tier II form Provide the chemical or common name of the chemical (as listed on the MSDS) on the Tier II form Include the total quantity of EHS present in pure or mixture form, even if any mixture and/or EHS is reported as a hazardous chemical
10
Use options 1 or 2 to determine whether the threshold quantity is present for hazardous chemical mixtures that do not contain any EHSs 1. Add together the quantities present in pure form and as components in all mixtures 2. Consider the total quantity of each mixture separately Submit reports in format requested by state Submit reports in format requested by LEPCs EPCRA Amendment Summary Continued
