Federal Facilities by Industry
The following chart shows the number of federal facilities reporting to TRI by sector for 2021.
For 2021, 446 federal facilities in 39 different types of operations (based on their 6-digit NAICS codes) reported to TRI. All federal facilities are subject to TRI reporting requirements regardless of industry sector, so the TRI database only includes data from federal facilities for some sectors. Most federal facilities are in such sectors, including military bases; correctional institutions; and police protection, such as training sites for border patrol stations. Almost two-thirds of federal facilities were in the National Security sector, which includes Department of Defense facilities such as Army and Air Force bases.
As with non-federal facilities, the type of activities occurring at federal facilities determines the amount of chemical waste managed and the management methods used. Some activities occurring at federal facilities are similar to those at non-federal facilities, such as electricity production. In other cases, federal facilities may report waste managed from specialized activities. For example, the federal facilities included under police protection and correctional institutions almost exclusively reported for lead and lead compounds, likely due to the use of lead ammunition on their firing ranges.
