TRI-Covered Industry Sectors
A facility's coverage under the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program is determined by its 6-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. NAICS is a framework by which economic units that have similar production processes are classified into the same industry by a numerical designation.

- Background on NAICS and TRI reporting
Note: Federal facilities are covered by TRI reporting requirements, regardless of NAICS code, due to Executive Order. The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has reaffirmed this requirement.
List of Covered 6-Digit NAICS Codes
Covered NAICS codes are listed at 40 CFR 372.23. You can also see the complete list of covered 6-digit NAICS codes in the TRI reporting instructions.
Background on NAICS Codes and TRI Reporting
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act originally required TRI reporting using 4-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. However, the Office of Management and Budget replaced the SIC code system with the NAICS code system developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, and the TRI Program adopted this system in 2006 (71 FR 32464). NAICS codes are updated every five years, and facilities currently use OMB-revised 2017 6-digit NAICS codes on their TRI reporting forms.
