4. FRS is a data aggregator FRS performs integration, validation and QA across 32 federal databases and 57 state, territory and tribal databases FRS contains information on 2.8 million facilities > 80% of facilities have lat/long information FRS Overview

5. High Level Data Model Organization Industrial Classification Affiliation Individual Individual Supplemental Interest Mailing Address Alternative Name Facility/Site Geospatial Environmental Interest

6. FRS Scope Major Programs Represented in FRS Air AFS AQS CAMDBS EGRID NEI RBLC RFS (Ethanol) Water PCS ICIS-NPDES SDWIS CWNS Chemical Releases TRIS RMP TSCA SSTS FRP BRAC Hazardous Waste ACRES CERCLIS RCRAINFO RADINFO Enforcement/Compliance ICIS ECRM NCDB Schools NCES GNIS BIA INDIAN SCHOOL Other LANDFILL http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/frs_demo/new_crosswalks.html

7. FRS Modeling More robust, multifaceted, standards-driven, contextualized representation
