Primary Activity: [ACTIVITY_DESCRIPTION]

Task Instructions:
1. Threshold Assessment: For each chemical listed, determine if it meets the EPCRA Section 313 thresholds (25,000 lbs for manufacturing/processing or 10,000 lbs for otherwise use). Specifically check if any are Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxic (PBT) chemicals with lower thresholds.
2. Exemption Check: Identify if any exemptions apply, such as the de minimis exemption, article exemption, or laboratory activities exemption based on the [ACTIVITY_DESCRIPTION].
3. Data Requirements: Outline the specific data needed for Form R (e.g., on-site releases to air, water, and land; underground injection; and off-site transfers).
4. Form A Eligibility: Determine if the facility qualifies for the simplified Form A Certification Statement based on the current threshold rules.
5. Compliance Timeline: Provide a checklist of deadlines and necessary documentation for the TRI-MEweb submission process.

Constraint: Ensure all advice aligns with the latest EPA TRI Reporting Forms and Instructions (RFI) manual. If specific data is missing to make a determination, ask the user targeted questions to fill those gaps.
