The EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) integrates location and identification data for facilities subject to environmental regulations. This subset links facilities from the National Compliance Database (NCDB), which supports enforcement of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maintains this centrally managed source, last updated on March 23, 2026.
Use Cases
- Mapping regulated facility locations based on geospatial coordinates.
- Analyzing compliance patterns for facilities under FIFRA and TSCA.
- Cross-referencing facility information from multiple federal and state sources.
- Identifying facilities of environmental interest for monitoring or research.
Strengths
- Data is centrally managed and integrated from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal records.
- Facilities are geospatially located, enabling spatial analysis.
- Last updated on March 23, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
