How Louisiana takes it
Louisiana runs its own system and does not take a Tier2 Submit file at all. Use our answer as the worksheet you type from. Filing there closes the state’s copy and only that. Louisiana says entering the data on its site meets the requirement of sending a copy to the Louisiana Emergency Response Commission. It also says you must separately send copies to your parish emergency planning committee and to the fire department with jurisdiction over the site. Those two are yours to send.
This state does not take the file. Our answer works as the worksheet you type from, with the rule behind every number.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. Louisiana does not pass it on for you — we checked. Filing closes the state’s copy only; your local committee and fire department each need their own from you.
Before you send it — what else Louisiana asks for
Two things beyond the numbers. First, the copies. Filing on the state site covers the Louisiana Emergency Response Commission and nothing else. Your parish emergency planning committee and your local fire department each need their own copy from you. Second, when you file you are certifying that you examined the report and that it is true, accurate and complete. That signature is yours, not ours. Louisiana also works its filing fee out on its own calculation worksheet rather than charging one flat amount. Check what yours comes to before the deadline.
Does Louisiana set its own limits?
Louisiana sets the threshold itself lower than the federal one. That changes the answer for a smaller facility.
The numbers Louisiana applies to any hazardous material: liquids 500 lb · solids 500 lb · gases 500 lb. The federal rule’s general line is 10,000 lb.
The words we read
LAC 33:V.10109 (Inventory Reporting), Louisiana Hazardous Material Information Development, Preparedness, and Response Act (R.S. 30:2361–2380)
promulgated May 1986; amended 1987, 1988, 1990 and June 2001
Where we read this
- EPA, “State Tier II Reporting Requirements and Procedures” — Louisiana: “Louisiana does not accept submissions from Tier II Submit, Tier II Manager, or E-Plan.”Louisiana State Police, Right-to-Know Tier II filing material (lsp.org), read 2026-09-10. The state’s own wording separates the layers: “You are required to send copies of inventory reports to both the parish Local Emergency Planning Committee and to the local fire department which has jurisdiction over the area where your facility is located”, while “By entering your Tier II information at the Tier II Inventory Filing website, you meet the requirement of sending a copy to the Louisiana Emergency Response Commission.” On signing: “When you file, you are also certifying that you have examined the information in the inventory report and that it is true, accurate, and complete.” On thresholds: “under state rules the threshold quantities which trigger inventory reporting are much lower (500 pounds of a chemical present on-site on any one day during the preceding calendar year)” — which matches LAC 33:V.10109. A “Fees — Calculation Worksheet” exists, but we could not read the schedule (the LSP PDFs would not open for us), so we say a worksheet decides the amount and print no figure.Checked 2026-09-10
