How Minnesota takes it
Minnesota files online through Tier II Manager. The state calls that system by name, but it does not say what file the system takes. We have found nothing saying it imports an EPA Tier2 Submit file. So plan on typing from our worksheet.
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. Minnesota takes the filing, but your fire department still needs its own copy from you. Minnesota says the local emergency planning committee does not — so this is two recipients, not the usual three.
Before you send it — what else Minnesota asks for
Three things beyond the form. If you file on paper instead, Minnesota only accepts its own state form, not the federal one printed out. The fee steps with the length of your list — $25 for one to nine chemicals, $100 for ten to 49, $1,000 for 50 or more — and a further $75 a year if any extremely hazardous substance is on site. You file by 1 March, but the money is not due until 1 June: you print the invoice from the reporting system once the report is in, and the statute allows a late fee of up to 200 percent of what you owed. There is a separate fee for filing safety data sheets. Their EPCRA programme is reachable at 651-201-7417.
Does Minnesota set its own limits?
Minnesota keeps the federal numbers and the federal list, but its own law reaches facilities the federal rule does not. What you keep decides the numbers; who you are decides whether the duty reaches you.
Minnesota keeps the federal numbers and the federal list. What it adds is reach. Its own law adds more facilities under EPCRA §§ 311–312. These are sites run by employers under Minnesota’s own workplace safety law, which reaches further than the federal one. Minnesota’s handbook says it plainly: “In Minnesota, public sector facilities are also covered.” So for a private repair shop or garage, the answer is the federal answer. The difference matters if you are a city, a county, a school or another public body. The federal rule does not reach those.
The words we read
Minnesota Statutes 299K.08 (revisor.mn.gov), read 2026-09-11. Subdivision 1: “Facilities subject to the federal act must comply with the federal act and sections 299K.01 to 299K.10.” Subdivision 2(a): “In addition to facilities specified in the federal act, facilities that are operated by employers subject to the occupational health and safety provisions of sections 182.65 to 182.675 shall comply with the hazardous chemical inventory reporting of the federal act.” Subdivision 2(b): “This section is a designation of additional facilities under sections 11021 and 11022 of the federal act, and the legislative process meets the requirements for public notice and opportunity to comment.” Sections 11021 and 11022 of the federal act are EPCRA §§ 311 and 312 — Tier II. We read the whole of chapter 299K (299K.01–299K.10) and found no Minnesota threshold of its own: the chapter designates additional facilities and sets fee rules (299K.09), and leaves the numbers to the federal act. Minnesota HSEM, SARA Title III Information Packet (dps.mn.gov), read 2026-09-11 through the Internet Archive capture dated 2024-07-23 because the live pages return 404 to us. Under both section 311 and section 312: “Which facilities are covered? Any facility required to prepare or have available safety data sheets … under the federal OSHA hazard communication standard. In Minnesota, public sector facilities are also covered.” The thresholds it lists are the federal ones — 500 lb or the threshold planning quantity for an extremely hazardous substance, 10,000 lb for any other hazardous chemical, with the federal retail fuel allowances of 75,000 gallons of petrol and 100,000 of diesel.
Where we read this
- EPA, “State Tier II Reporting Requirements and Procedures” — Minnesota section, read 2026-09-05: “Minnesota accepts Tier II data electronically using the Tier II Manager software only. Minnesota will accept hard copy submissions using the Minnesota state-specific form only.” Contact: Minnesota EPCRA Program, 445 Minnesota St. Suite 223, St. Paul, phone (651) 201-7417. The state’s EPCRA page links its filing system as “TIER II MANAGER Software”, and that link goes to minnesota.hazconnect.com.Minnesota Statutes 299K.09 (revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/299K.09), read 2026-09-10. Subdivision 1: “The commission shall adopt rules setting the following fees:” — a safety data sheet fee, “a fee to be paid annually by a facility when the owner or operator submits its emergency and hazardous chemical inventory form”, and “a late fee to be paid by a facility that fails to pay a fee under clause (1) or (2) in a timely manner, not to exceed 200 percent of the original fee”. The amounts are set by rule, not printed in the statute.Minnesota HSEM, SARA Title III Information Packet (dps.mn.gov, 9 pages), read 2026-09-11 in full through the Internet Archive capture dated 2024-07-23 because the live pages return 404 to us. On recipients: “Minnesota requires annual submission (by March 1) of the Tier II Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory … In addition, reporting facilities need to submit a copy to their local fire department (Minnesota does not require you to submit a copy to the Regional Review Committees serving as Local Emergency Planning Committees).” Fee table: “Chemicals Reported / Annual Fee — 1 to 9 $25; 10 to 49 $100; 50 or more $1,000”; “An invoice can be printed from the Online Tier II Manager upon completion of the Tier II Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory … The statutory deadline for payment is June 1.” Under Minn. Stat. 299K.095, facilities holding an extremely hazardous substance “are required to pay a fixed annual fee of $75 per facility”. The capture is from 2024; we did not find a newer copy we could reach.Checked 2026-09-11
