September 10, 2008 - Update to electronic-Facility Data Release (e-FDR) Query Tool for 2007 TRI Data
The following is an update from EPA's Superfund, TRI, EPCRA, RMP & Oil Information Center:
EPA has made available the electronic-Facility Data Release (e-FDR) query tool for reporting year 2007 (RY07) TRI data. This tool provides access to facility-level, form-by-form TRI data but does not include analyses of the TRI data, such as national trend analyses. These trends will be available in the spring Public Data Release after undergoing extensive data quality checks.
Three changes have occurred for the RY07 e-FDR. First, the e-mail address of the public contact was added in Part I, Section 4.4 of both the Form R and Form A. Second, two revision code boxes were added to the top of each form to indicate why the revision was made. Third, four new Basis of Estimate codes were added and two existing codes were removed in Part II, Sections 5, 6.1 and 6.2 of the Form R to indicate the principal method that was used to determine a reported quantity.
The RY07 e-FDR is available at the following URL:
