The Bureau of Occupational & Industrial Safety/Pennsafe Program is the state repository for Tier II reports filed by Pennsylvania facilities’ owners and/or operators. Under federal and state law, the county Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) and the responding local fire department(s) must also receive a Tier II copy. The Tier II form, as filed annually, provides state and local officials and emergency responders with specific information on hazardous chemicals present at a facility during the prior calendar year. Pennsylvania Tier II reports are filed online using the Pennsylvania Tier II System (PATTS). A Tier II submission via any other online or electronic reporting program does not meet the reporting obligations in Pennsylvania.

Note: PA Labor & Industry requires a Tier II report for fuel delivery trucks that are stored at a property for any length of time (ex: overnight). Please contact Ted Harris at  tharris@papetroleum.org if you have questions regarding Tier II reporting.
