TRI-MEdesktop/cd Software Warning
TRI-MEdesktop/cd will no longer be available to submit new TRI releases in Reporting Year (RY) 2009.
TRI-MEdesktop/cd can only be used to make revisions or withdraw TRI forms that were submitted prior to RY2009. EPA would prefer TRI facilities that want to report a revision or need to withdraw a form that was submitted between RY2005 and RY2008 to use TRI-MEweb.
EPA considers TRI-MEweb to be the TRI reporting software of the future. EPA is discontinuing the TRI-MEdesktop/cd software application as of January 1, 2010.
What is TRI-MEdesktop/cd?
TRI-MEdesktop/cd is a predecessor of TRI-MEweb that requires the download of an application to a computer. The desktop version of the TRI-ME software is an interactive, user friendly software tool that guides facilities through the TRI reporting procedures.

Can I Use the desktop version of TRI-ME software?
Yes, but not for new or revised reports prior for RY2009. TRI-MEdesktop/cd produce output files that match USEPA's Magnetic Media File Formats (sometimes called the TRI 18 flat files). These file formats can be found below. You may load flat files using the third party load tool created based on these formats directly into the TRI-MEdesktop/cd software and then use the application to check your forms for common errors. You can only use TRI-MEdesktop/cd to submit the forms to USEPA and your state for chemical release data between reporting year (RY) 2003 and RY2008. We recommend that if you need to submit any forms between RY2004 and RY2008, to use TRI-MEweb instead.
