Agency offers electronic submission of PCB annual reports

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now allows facilities to submit polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) annual reports electronically through the agency’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Info System (RCRAInfo). Facilities may submit reports electronically starting with the upcoming annual report due by July 15, 2026.

Who’s impacted?

EPA’s electronic reporting option applies to PCB commercial storage facilities and PCB disposal facilities (including those that dispose of their own waste and don’t receive or generate manifests) that are:

• Required to submit the PCB Annual Report Form (PCB Annual Report) per 40 CFR 761.180(b)(3), and
• Have a RCRA-issued EPA identification (ID) number.

RCRAInfo doesn’t currently support submissions from PCB facilities with EPA ID numbers issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), but the agency plans to update the system to allow such submissions in the future. Until then, PCB facilities with TSCA-issued EPA IDs must continue submitting the annual report by mail and email.

What are the changes?

Qualifying PCB facilities may now submit the PCB Annual Report (EPA Form 6200-025):

• Electronically through RCRAInfo, or
• By mail and email.

Electronic submissions

Facilities must establish a RCRAInfo Industry Application account to submit PCB Annual Reports electronically. RCRAInfo offers an in-depth user guide for registering as an industry user.

Mail and email

Facilities that submit paper reports must:

• Mail the printed form and any attachments to EPA, and
• Email an electronic copy of the form and any attachments to EPA.

Key to remember: PCB commercial storage and disposal facilities with RCRA-issued EPA ID numbers now have the option to submit the PCB Annual Report electronically.
