Facility Inventory Reporting.
15 RCNY § 41-05
in effect§ 41-05 Facility Inventory Reporting.
(a) A responsible party of a facility shall file a Facility Inventory Form (FIF) for such facility, pursuant to § 24-705 of the New York City Administrative Code and Appendix A of this chapter, which shall include:
(1) Each hazardous substance required to be reported pursuant to 15 RCNY § 41-04 which has been present within such facility at any time during the preceding calendar year in an amount which exceeds the Threshold Reporting Quantity published with the Hazardous Substance List; and
(2) Each mixture required to be reported pursuant to 15 RCNY § 41-04 which contains a hazardous substance in an amount that exceeds the Threshold Reporting Quantity and such mixture has been present within such facility at any time during the preceding calendar year in an amount which exceeds five hundred pounds.
(3) A responsible party shall provide the following information for mixtures: names of the mixtures or brand names, followed by hazardous ingredients and their Chemical Abstract Service numbers.
(4) If a reportable substance is known to a responsible party by a name listed in § (f)(2) of these Rules as a synonym for a substance on the Hazardous Substance List, it may be reported by its synonym.
(b) A responsible party of a facility shall complete and submit an FIF, and an MSDS for each hazardous substance including hazardous substances contained in mixtures reported on the FIF, on or before March 1 of every year beginning March 1 of every year to:
New York City Department of Environmental Protection
Bureau of ____________ Right-to-Know Officer
59-17 Junction Boulevard
Corona, New York 11368-5107
or any other address designated by the Commissioner, and published in the City Record.
(c) A responsible party of a facility shall file a facility inventory update if a previously unreported hazardous substance is added at a facility or if an already reported quantity of a hazardous substance increases by twenty-five percent or more, within thirty days of the occurrence of such event.
(1) The FIF shall be used for such updates; "UPDATE" should be written in as the Reporting Period.
(2) The update should include only those hazardous substances subject to the update reporting requirements.
(d) These filing requirements shall not apply to:
(1) Facilities where the only hazardous substances present during the preceding calendar year were in mixtures in which the total content of the hazardous substance was less than the Threshold Reporting Quantity per container unless such hazardous substance was present at the facility in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the Threshold Reporting Quantity; and
(2) Owners or tenants of residential buildings that contain no commercial or manufacturing enterprise.
(e) Penalties.
(1) Any person who knowingly or recklessly makes any false statement, representation or certification on the FIF, FIF UPDATE, MSDS, or any other document filed with the Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to the New York City Community Right-to-Know Law or these Regulations, shall be subject to a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or imprisonment of up to one year, or both.
(2) Any person who violates these filing requirements shall be liable for a civil penalty, as follows:
(i) for a first violation, in an amount of up to one hundred dollars;
(ii) for a second violation, in an amount of up to two thousand five hundred dollars;
(iii) and for each subsequent violation, in an amount of up to five thousand dollars.
(f) Fees. Upon filing a FIF a responsible party shall submit a fee to the Department. The fee shall be determined by three factors: the total number of hazardous substances (which includes extremely hazardous substances) reported on the most recent FIF; the highest single quantity of a hazardous substance (which includes extremely hazardous substances) reported on the most recent FIF; and whether an extremely hazardous substance has been reported on the most recent FIF. When an extremely hazardous substance has been reported, this will result in a higher fee which shall be based on 125% of the amount calculated using Table 1, and may be calculated by using a multiplier of 1.25 as illustrated in paragraph (4) below. The fee shall be calculated in the following manner:
(1) Identify on the horizontal axis on Table 1 the column corresponding to the total number of hazardous substances (which includes extremely hazardous substances) reported on the most recent FIF;
(2) Identify on the vertical axis on Table 1 the row corresponding to the range in pounds of the highest quantity of any single hazardous substance (which includes extremely hazardous substances) reported on the most recent FIF;
(3) If no extremely hazardous substances are reported on the most recent FIF, the fee shall be the dollar amount appearing at the intersection of the column and row identified in paragraphs (1) and (2) above. Example: if there are three hazardous substances present at a facility, none of which is extremely hazardous, and the greatest reportable quantity of any single substance is fifteen million pounds, then the amount owed would be $350.00, which is the amount listed at the intersection of the horizontal column for (1-3) substances and the vertical column which lists the reporting range for substances between 10,000,000 and 49,999,999 pounds;
(4) If an extremely hazardous substance was reported on the most recent FIF, the fee shall be 125% of the dollar amount appearing at the intersection of the column and row identified in paragraphs (1) and (2) and may be calculated by multiplying that figure by 1.25. Example: if any of the substances in the above noted example is an extremely hazardous substance, than to determine the fee multiply $350.00 by 1.25. The fee for this example would therefore be $437.50.
