Tier2 Reporting Requirements

Section 312 of Title III requires that the owner or operator of a facility submit their Tier Two form if so requested by a State emergency response commission, a local emergency planning committee, or a fire department with jurisdiction over the facility.

This request may apply to the owner or operator of any facility that is required, under regulations implementing the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, to prepare or have available a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for a hazardous chemical present at the facility. MSDS requirements are specified in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard, found in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations at x1910.1200.

This form does not have to be submitted if all of the chemicals located at your facility are excluded under Section 311(e) of Title III.

All reports are due by March 1st of each year.

Tier2 Submit Software

EPA developed Tier2 Submit to help facilities prepare an electronic chemical inventory report. Many states accept Tier2 Submit. If your state accepts Tier2 Submit, download the correct version for your system and the Facility Submission Guide.

Tier II Submission Requirements

Tier II reports are due to MEMA the Jackson County LEPC, and the Fire Department having jurisdiction for your facility by March 1st of each year. We ask that all non-electronic forms be submitted typed, not hand written, because of the critical nature of the information that is contained. Electronic submissions to the LEPC and to the Fire Department must be in .pdf or .doc form.

Thank you for your cooperation.
