Welcome to the Facility Registry System

FRS Logo
The Facility Registry System (FRS) is a centrally managed database that identifies facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. FRS creates high-quality, accurate, and authoritative facility identification records through rigorous verification and management procedures that incorporate information from program national systems, state master facility records, data collected from EPA's Central Data Exchange registrations and data management personnel. The FRS provides Internet access to a single integrated source of comprehensive (air, water, and waste) environmental information about facilities, sites or places.

This site is the companion to the FRS integrated searches in Envirofacts, a single point of access to select U.S. EPA environmental data. Envirofacts provides access to several EPA databases to provide you with information about environmental activities that may affect air, water, and land anywhere in the United States.

You may access the facility data or additional information from the links below:

  • Overview - provides information on the benefits, scope, and objectives of FRS.
  • Query - allows you to retrieve selected facility data from the national systems documented in Envirofacts through an advanced search interface.
  • EZ Query - provides a simple step-by-step query for selecting key data elements from the FRS and Locational Reference Database to build a tabular report or Comma Separated Value (CSV) file for downloading.
  • Model - depicts the tables and relationship structure of FRS.
  • Documentation - provides links to the XML data exchange and other supporting files.
  • Program Crosswalks - provides detailed mapping information between FRS and the national systems documented in Envirofacts.
  • Presentations - provides various web presentations on FRS.



Please read the SoR Disclaimer for the Facility Registry System. The SoR Introduction and SoR Help pages provide information to assist in understanding and using the FRS.
