New on the EPA website
The Toxics Release Inventory – Made Easy Web-based (TRI-MEweb) Application for Reporting Year 2009 is Now Available. - The TRI-MEweb application allows facilities across the U.S. to file, via the Internet, a paperless report, significantly reducing data errors, and receiving instant receipt confirmation of their submissions to US EPA and their State. The TRI-MEweb application is now available on the US EPA TRI Web site for facilities to report RY 2009 chemical release data in compliance with EPCRA reporting requirements. The deadline to report chemical releases for RY 2009 is midnight July 1, 2010. Learn more here.
The new Facility Registry System (FRS) Organization Query Form is now available to retrieve selected organizations.This Query Form allows you to retrieve a list of selected organizations. The organizations are pulled from our regulatory program systems, which use terms such as owner, operator, permittee, responsible party, establishment, parent company, parent corporation, and ultimate parent to describe their relationship with facilities. For facilities without related organization data, the facility name itself is included and indicated in the search results. You can specify organizations by using any combination of search terms and geographic location. Please use the Original FRS Query Form to directly query FRS facilities. Learn more here.

Sharing thoughts and ideas: ToxicRisk.com
If you are a keen reader of this website, you may have noticed a comment that was left by Mike Meuser under our previous blog post, Suggestions for the Spring 2010 TRI Webinar.
We found this to be an interesting comment that was left and then realized that it was also from the same person who had sent us some feedback via our website. This is what this website was created for: sharing thoughts and ideas as well as resources within a community of people who have an interest in the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory Program.
The following is the text of the message we received from Mike.
ECOS received numerous questions from attendees during the November 18th 2009 TRI Webinar. Many questions were answered by the Webinar presenters, but many were left unanswered due to time constraints.
The unanswered questions were passed along to the presenters who have provided responses to them. These can be found below in a “Frequently Asked Questions Bank” which has been assembled for this purpose. Additionally, the FAQ Bank also includes responses to some questions that were answered during the Webinar.
ECOS, along with the EPA, held a TRI Webinar on November 18th from 2-4PM (EST). The discussion focused on "TRI Web Based Tools: What's New and Emerging". This Webinar was attended by over 150 diverse TRI stake-holders including representatives of federal and state agencies, local government, research institutions, industry, and non-profit associations.
