Adding or Updating a Parent Company

The text below describes how to add Parent Companies. The process to edit an existing parent company is essentially similar. For information regarding the standardization of Parent Company Names please see the Standardization of Parent Company Names - Style Guide.

Subpart A: Adding or Updating a Parent Company

Starting on the Subpart A Overview page, click the link titled "ADD a Parent Company".

You may not edit an existing Parent Company. If you need to make changes to an existing Parent Company, you'll need to delete the Parent Company from the Subpart A Overview page, and re-add the Parent Company with the corrected information.

To delete an existing Parent Company, click on the delete icon in the U.S. PARENT COMPANIES SUMMARY table on the Subpart A Overview page

Adding a Parent Company using the Standardization of Parent Company Names dropdown

The Parent Company Name field uses an "auto-complete" feature to standardize submitted names. After typing 3 characters, matching results will appear. If you find the company you are entering, please select it. You may also enter a Parent Company that is not in EPA's standardized list; if so the Standardization of Parent Company Names - Style Guide should be used to determine the correct format for reporting parent company names.

Subpart A: Adding a Parent Company using the Standardization of Parent Company Names dropdown

For each of the highest-level United States Parent Company(s) as of December 31 of the year for which data are being reported, report the following data:

Parent Company Name
Percentage of ownership interest
Street address
City
State
ZIP Code

Please note that the "percentage of ownership interest" values should add up to 100, once you have entered data for each of the highest-level US parent company(s).

When you are finished, click SAVE.

EPA also provides the follow instructions for facilities or suppliers when reporting their parent company under various ownership structures specified in 98.3(c)(11).
