BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) Technical Support Document

Replacement of 5-digit NAICS Codes with Industrial Sector (IS) Codes

Draft

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics

1201 Constitution Ave., NW

Washington, DC

October 2009Executive Summary

The 2006 IUR collection was the first time that EPA collected information on the industrial processing and use of organic chemical substances from manufacturers and importers producing 300,000 pounds or more of an organic chemical substance at a single site (Form U Part III).  For 2006, respondents provided the five-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code to describe the setting in which industrial processing and use occurred.

EPA examined the 2006 IUR collection and found respondents submitted over 340 unique five-digit NAICS codes.  Some of the reported codes were invalid and could not be related to any industrial setting.  Other persons left the NAICS code blank or reported that it was not known or readily obtainable.  EPA uses the five-digit NAICS code in combination with the industrial function code and process and use code to define a use scenario.  The large number of possible three-code combinations has made it more difficult for EPA to group and assess chemicals. EPA is proposing to replace the NAICS code with a new code, Industrial Sector (IS), to describe the industrial setting.

EPA developed the 48 new IS codes by examining the results of the 2006 IUR data collection, reviewing the codes used by the European Union for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) program, and considering EPA’s use of the IUR data. The proposed IS codes divide the entire range of NAICS codes into a set of 48 segments covering broader ranges of activities.  When the reporting for a single NAICS code was frequent, the five-digit NAICS code was replaced by a corresponding IS code.  When the reporting of NAICS codes was very infrequent and the exposure scenario was likely to be the same for a range of NAICS codes, a single IS code replaced all NAICS codes beginning with the same digit, i.e. a single IS code replaces all NAICS codes beginning with the number five which indicates services.

Replacing the NAICS codes with a new IS code will have benefits for both EPA and respondents. The new codes will sort the chemicals into broader categories thus reducing the reporting burden on respondents since they do not need to determine a specific five-digit NAICS code.  EPA anticipates that using the IS categories will reduce the number of erroneous responses, may reduce the number of confidential business information (CBI) claims, and may reduce the number of unique chemical exposure scenarios that EPA will need to develop for priority setting and risk screening programs.

Appendix A – Additional InformationBackground

This section provides background information on the IUR reporting requirements, the results of the 2006 IUR data collection, and information on the European Union’s chemical use data collection.  EPA used this information to develop new Industrial Sector (IS) codes that will replace the five-digit NAICS codes in the 2011 IUR reporting.

2006 IUR Reporting Requirements

The 2006 IUR collection was the first time that EPA collected information on the industrial processing and use of organic chemical substances from manufacturers producing 300,000 pounds or more of an organic chemical substance at a single site (Part III of IUR Form U).  This reporting was in addition to the production volume information collected in previous reporting cycles.  The industrial processing and use information is collected using three reporting codes which taken together define a potential exposure scenario:

Type of Process or Use (P/U) Code – Defines the operations in which the chemical is used.

PC: Processing as a reactant

PF:  Processing – incorporation into formulation, mixture, or reaction product

PA: Processing – incorporation into article

PK:  Processing – repackaging

U:  Use – non-incorporative activities

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code – Codes published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to describe the industry in which chemical processing and use may occur.  IUR requires submitters to report a five-digit NAICS code.

Industrial Function Category (IFC) Code – Defines the function of the chemical (e.g., adhesive, flame retardant, solvent).  The 2006 IUR utilized 33 IFC codes. Additional information on the 2011 IFC codes can be found in Overview of Harmonized U.S.-Canada Industrial Function and Consumer and Commercial Product Codes for Chemical Inventory Reporting, June 2009, prepared by U.S. EPA, Health Canada, and Environment Canada.

EPA uses this information to perform screening-level exposure characterizations for industrial settings.

2006 IUR Statistics

Based on information from the NAICS Web site (  HYPERLINK "http://www.census.gov/naics/2007/index.html"  http://www.census.gov/naics/2007/index.html ), there are 724 possible five-digit NAICS codes that respondents can enter in Part III of the IUR Form U.  Two-digit NAICS codes represent general sectors, with additional digits added to further refine the description of the industry.  An example of the hierarchy for chemical manufacturing is listed below:

31 – 33: Manufacturing

325: Chemical Manufacturing

3251: Basic Chemical Manufacturing

32513:  Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing

325131: Inorganic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing

Submissions to the 2006 IUR included over 340 unique five-digit NAICS codes.  EPA uses the NAICS code to aid in developing exposure scenarios. Many of the 340 NAICS codes reported are from similar industries that would have similar exposure scenarios. The large number of NAICS codes reported makes it more difficult to group chemicals.

The three-code combination of P/U, NAICS, and IFC is needed to fully describe the industrial processing and use activity; therefore, there are a large number of possible three-code combinations.  The 2006 IUR three-code combinations allow almost 120,000 degrees of freedom.  Although not all of the NAICS codes are applicable to chemical manufacturing and processing, the 2006 IUR database has over 2,300 unique combinations of P/U, NAICS, and IFC.  The large number of unique combinations increases the difficulty and time required to sort and classify chemicals since EPA would either need to develop exposure scenarios for each unique combination or determine which three-code combinations have similar exposure scenarios and can be grouped together.

EPA reviewed information on the extent of confidential business information (CBI) claims for the industrial processing and use information. When considering the three-code combination, which is needed to fully evaluate the exposure scenario, EPA considers the combination CBI if any of the three codes were claimed CBI.  The 2006 IUR database had the following CBI claims for the individual data elements:

P/U – 4,019 of 15,151 entries were claimed CBI (27 percent);

IFC – 4,190 of 15,151 entries were claimed CBI (28 percent);

NAICS – 4,476 of 15,151 entries were claimed CBI (30 percent);

When evaluating the CBI status of the three-code combination (at least one code in the reported combination was CBI), approximately 80 percent were claimed CBI.  Note that EPA did not evaluate this by chemical; one chemical may have a CBI three-code combination but the same three-code combination may be reported as non-CBI for another chemical.

  REF _Ref242008194 \h  Table 1  shows the top 25 NAICS codes reported in the 2006 IUR and Table A-1 in Attachment A contains the full list.  The IUR database contains 15,151 potential NAICS code entries (number of reports in database version 1.02).  As shown in the tables, the chemical manufacturing codes (325 series) were reported most frequently.  Some responses reported for NAICS were invalid or did not provide useful information:

Not Readily Obtainable – Since respondents were submitting information for downstream processing and use, the IUR requirements allowed respondents to enter ‘NRO’ if they did not have readily obtainable information on NAICS code.  NRO was reported 693 times.

Blank – There were 127 submissions that left NAICS code blank.

Invalid Entries – The IUR database contained several NAICS codes that were not listed on the NAICS Web site (see Table A-1).  There were 274 invalid entries.

Invalid, blank, and NRO entries do not provide use information and account for over six percent of the NAICS code responses.

European Union Reporting Codes

EPA reviewed information on the European Union’s (EU) Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances (REACH) program to compare the reporting codes used in REACH to EPA’s IUR reporting codes.  The following documents describe the codes and categories that are used to describe chemical processing and use under REACH:

 “Technical Guidance Document for Preparing the Chemical Safety Assessment, Part D” dated November 26, 2007 (Guidance Document).

“Environmental Exposure Assessment: Revision of the Use Pattern Description” dated July 30, 2008 (Use Pattern Revision Document).

“Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment” Chapter R12: Use Descriptor System, May 2008 (Use Descriptor Document).

The EU’s use descriptor system is designed such that codes can be linked to a pre-defined environmental release category (ERC) or used in a Tier 1 exposure model (e.g., European Commission on Ecotoxicology and Toxicology (ECETOC) Targeted Risk Assessment model (TRA) or Consumer Exposure model developed by the Netherlands (ConsExpo)).  According to the Guidance Document, the use descriptors can help structure and group the identified uses in a sensible way for exposure scenario building and exposure estimation and support consistency and harmonized information across markets.

The EU system uses a Sector of Use (SU) code to provide information on the industrial sector in which a chemical is used. The sector of use is based on the EU’s NACE category system which is analogous to the U.S. NAICS codes.  NACE codes are similar to NAICS codes in that there is a hierarchy to the numbering system.  For example, the beginning of the hierarchy for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing NACE code is listed below:

A. - Agriculture, forestry and fishing;

A1. - Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities;

A1.1. - Growing of non-perennial crops; and,

A1.1.1 - Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds.

The SU codes are defined similarly as the NACE codes except SU codes typically only use the first or second levels of the hierarchy.  The EU defined SU codes corresponding to second or third level NACE codes for industries that may require additional detail.  The codes also group similar NACE codes together.  Table A-2 lists the EU SU codes.  The EU documents provide a crosswalk between SU and NACE codes.

Examples:

SU 1 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing – Uses top level of NACE hierarchy (NACE Code A);

SU 4 Manufacture of Food Products – Uses second level of NACE hierarchy to provide additional details (NACE Code C10).  The top level for this category (NACE C) is defined as manufacturing;

SU8 Manufacture of Bulk, Large Scale Chemicals (including petroleum products) – This category could include NACE codes C19 - Manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products and NACE code C20 - Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products.

The EU system also defines two categories that can be used if one of the 23 defined codes is not applicable:

SU 0.1 – Other activity related to manufacturing of chemical products; and,

SU 0.2 – Other activity related to manufacture and services.

The Use Descriptor Document states that the categories are meant to help manufacturers and importers in mapping their markets, which is the starting point for developing exposure scenarios.  The categories have been limited to what the EU felt was essential for exposure scenario building and what is needed for the tools used in exposure assessments.  If one of the 23 defined categories is not applicable to their chemical, manufacturers are able to select SU0.1 or 0.2 and add a NACE codes if they need to be more specific.  In addition, manufacturers can use SU3 – Industrial Manufacturing (all) indicating the substance is broadly used in industry.  EPA considered adopting the EU Sector of Use (SU) codes but rejected this idea because the SU codes do not provide sufficient specificity when differentiating between industries.

Development of New Industrial Sector Codes

EPA used information from the 2006 IUR summary statistics and EU’s use code descriptions to develop a code that could be used to replace the NAICS codes.  As discussed in Section 1.0, the current system of reporting three-code combinations resulted in over 2,300 different combinations, approximately 80 percent of which were claimed CBI.  One of the primary considerations in developing a new replacement code is to reduce the number of choices available to respondents. Reducing the choices available in reporting the three-code industrial processing and use combinations could have several benefits:

Fewer three-code combinations would aid EPA in grouping chemicals for priority setting.

Broader categories could lead to fewer CBI claims.

Broader categories may reduce the number of blank or NRO responses since respondents may know the general industrial category but not the specific five-digit NAICS code.

For these reasons, EPA evaluated whether a reporting code could be used in place of the NAICS code used in the 2006 IUR.  Of the IUR reporting codes, the NAICS code has the largest number of possible choices.  EPA first considered whether using NAICS codes with fewer digits would be preferable to the five-digit NAICS.     REF _Ref242008199 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2  shows the number of possible NAICS codes for each reporting level.

Table   SEQ Table \* ARABIC  2 . Number of Codes in Each NAICS Reporting Level

NAICS Length	Number of Codes

2-Digit	17

3-Digit	99

4-Digit	313

5-Digit	724

6-Digit	1,175

Using the three-digit code still allows almost 100 different responses while using the two-digit code would be insufficient for EPA’s needs.   In reviewing the code descriptions, the three-digit code may be insufficient in some cases.  The 2006 IUR statistics in Table A-1 show that over 60 percent of the NAICS codes reported were in the chemical manufacturing series (325 series).  EPA would require a higher level of detail than provided with a three-digit code in this series.  For example, EPA would want to distinguish soaps and detergents (3256) from paints and coatings (32551) since these chemicals would likely have different use, exposure, and release scenarios.

EPA developed the industrial sector codes (IS) to group similar NAICS codes together while still providing the detail required for the chemical manufacturing codes.    REF _Ref242008559 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 3  at the end of this memorandum lists the new IS codes, a description of the code, the rationale for selecting the codes, and the link between the IS code and the NAICS system.  In developing the IS codes, EPA considered the level of detail required for developing use and exposure scenarios, the number of 2006 IUR submissions using the code, the code definition, and the level of difficulty required in reporting more detailed codes.  For example, only 39 of 15,151 submissions reported codes in the Agriculture series (NAICS code 11).  The five-digit NAICS codes for this series distinguish the type of animal or crop raised (e.g., 11111 – Soybean Farming; 11115 – Corn Farming).  Since exposure scenarios are not likely to be dependent upon type of crop or animal, EPA defined one IS code for all agricultural activities.  However, submissions in the chemical manufacturing sector (325 series) would have different exposure scenarios; therefore, EPA developed IS codes with more detail for this sector.

The 48 IS codes in   REF _Ref242008559 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 3  provide sufficient detail on industrial sector and can be used in combination with the process/use code and industrial function to define the industrial processing and use activity.  By replacing the NAICS codes with the IS code, the number of potential three-code combinations is reduced by about 93 percent to 7,920 combinations.  It is likely that the number of combinations actually reported would be significantly less.   REF _Ref242008585 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 4  shows the number of times each IS code would have been reported in the 2006 IUR.

  REF _Ref242008590 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 5  provides a simpler view of   REF _Ref242008559 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 3  which can be used as a crosswalk between the NAICS code and IS code.  Respondents who know the NAICS code can easily identify the IS code from   REF _Ref242008590 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 5 .  Respondents that do not know a specific NAICS code may be able to identify a more general category.

EPA developed the IS codes from the NAICS system. U.S. manufacturers are familiar with the NAICS system since it is used in many regulatory programs. Respondents can use the NAICS/IS crosswalk to easily translate the NAICS codes they reported in the 2006 IUR to the new IS code.

Advantages of Industrial Sector Codes

Replacing the NAICS codes with the IS codes has several advantages during IUR data collection, processing, and analysis:

Data Collection

Reduces the number of unique industrial sectors for respondents to select.  Respondents will still be able to translate known NAICS codes to IS codes.  Respondents that do not know the specific NAICS code may be able to provide the more descriptive IS code, thus reducing the number of NROs or blanks reported.

Reduces the number of three-code combinations that respondents need to report.  Currently, respondents only report the ten three-code combinations that account for the highest percentages of the production volume.  Reducing the number of combinations may provide EPA with more information for some chemicals.

Broader groups may reduce burden on respondents since they do not need to determine a specific five-digit NAICS code.

Data Processing and Analysis

Chemicals are automatically classified into fewer groups which will reduce the number of unique chemical exposure scenarios and help EPA prioritize and screen chemicals.

May reduce the number of invalid entries since there will likely be fewer transcription errors (e.g., 32591 instead of 32519).

The IS codes can be easily programmed into the e-IUR software.

The broader IS codes may result in fewer CBI claims which will allow EPA to make more information available to the public.

The IS codes more closely align to the EU Sector of Use codes which will allow EPA to compare U.S. data with that collected by the EU.

    Title: Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1826.04, OMB Control No. 2060-0369.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2008.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: When EPA establishes new regulations with tighter engine
emission standards, engine manufacturers often need to change the
design of their engines to achieve the required emissions reductions.
Consequently, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may also need to
redesign their products to accommodate these engine design changes.
Sometimes, OEMs have trouble making the necessary adjustments by the
effective date of the regulations. In an effort to provide OEMs with
some flexibility in complying with the regulations, EPA created the
Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM). Under this
program, OEMs are allowed to delay compliance with the new standards
for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations.
Participation in the program is voluntary. Participating OEMs and
engine manufacturers who provide the noncompliant engines are required
to keep records and submit reports of their activities under the
program.
    In 2008, a new TPEM phase will start as the new, nonroad
compression-ignition emission regulations (also known as Tier 4
regulations) become effective. This ICR Renewal incorporates the
requirements that will be in effect during the active period of this
supporting statement. The Tier 4 TPEM program is codified at 40 CFR
Part 1039.625 while the Tier 1-Tier 3 program is codified at 40 CFR
Part 89.102.
    The information is collected for compliance purposes by the Engine
Programs Group, Certification and Compliance Division, Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation.
Confidentiality of proprietary information is granted in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2, and
class determinations issued by EPA's Office of General Counsel.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 86
hours per respondent. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
these actions are manufacturers of compression-ignition engines and
equipment.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 99.
    Frequency of Response: Annually and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,547.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $652,930, includes $123,558 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,522 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. Burden has decreased due to a program change (new
regulations). The current phase, as described in the previous ICR (the
Tier 1-Tier 3 Program codified at 40 CFR Part 89), is nearing its end
and a new phase with new requirements is starting in 2008 (Tier 4, 40
CFR Part 1039). Some overlap exists between the two programs. Although
the new requirements impose a slightly larger burden on respondents,
EPA estimates that fewer respondents will participate in the Tier 4
phase. The increase in O&M costs is due largely to foreign OEMs that
must post a bond before importing their equipment ``to cover any
potential enforcement actions under the Clean Air Act.''
