PRTR initiation - Preparing a legal instrument

This step involves preparing a legal instrument to implement reporting for a PRTR. The legal implementation of the PRTR system involves addressing the following tasks:

  • Ensuring the necessary legal authority for the PRTR;
  • Deciding how to integrate the PRTR with existing reporting requirements; and
  • Establishing legal provisions for enforcement.

For a cost-effective management scheme, you may wish to implement the next element (Providing Compliance Assistance for Regulated Entities) or choose another element from the Management scheme elements list.
