How are the e-FDR data different from the data in the Public Data Release?
The e-FDR is a facility-level, form-by-form release of TRI data, as submitted by facilities. The e-FDR does not include the aggregation of TRI data or national trend analyses. The Public Data Release (PDR) will include national analysis and trends as well as tools to support independent analyses. The data in the PDR undergo comprehensive data checks. Some data quality checks have been completed for the forms released under the e-FDR, although facilities are still reviewing the forms to verify submissions and may revise their data prior to the release of the data in the spring PDR. In addition, the TRI program is completing final data quality checks on the data in anticipation of the PDR. See the Public Data Release (PDR) for previous years.
