There are four major aspects in the implementation of this year’s Plan: System planning: the Plan emphasizes the investigation and analysis of toxic chemical management, in combination with the cross checking module to analyze the regulation. To ensure that the disposed toxic chemical substances are properly cleared and treated, the destinations following the report of disposed toxic chemical substances shall be traced and checked, so as to ensure the complete monitoring of the flow of toxic chemical substances. Four cross checking reports were added and revise, including cross checking of certificates that are due, cross checking of certificate information without valid dates, abnormity cross checking of illegal selling or purchasing caused by non-conformance to the concentration on the certificate, and cross checking of output/input shipment notes; these measures have improved the cross checking function and strengthened the flow control of toxic chemical substances. Value-added maintenance of the system: the Plan is focused on the maintenance and updating of the “Permit Management System of Toxic Chemical Substances” and the “Registration and Report System of Toxic Chemical Substances”. The newly added or modified items in this year comprised 8 items in the license management system, 5 in the registration and report system, and many other contract project functions. Moreover, the conversion of old numbers into new numbers in Class IV, and the electronic operation of customs export and import were developed according to the temporary demands. In response to the data exchange of the Food Cloud of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and Chemical Cloud of the Directorate-General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Department of Environmental Sanitation ＆ Toxic Substance Management, of the EPA, both systems have gone through the regular information security inspection and the web page monitoring and relevant revision of the Environmental Protection Administration were carried out, so as to achieve the desired management effects. After the system improvement, the number of incoming calls from the business customer service was kept at only 300-something every month and the satisfaction of the environmental protection agencies with the system improvement reached above 90%. Flow inspection and personnel management: 20 personnel were dispatched to assist the environmental protection agencies, with the average score reaching 90 points or higher after the internal audit. The National Cross Checking Group for Toxic Chemical Substances was founded by the Environmental Protection Administration, which had completed 3,108 cases of system cross checking, and issued 45 cases of punishments. Concerning the announced projects of cyanide and plasticizer this year, the completion rate of the cross checking was 97% for the cyanide and 96% for the plasticizer, showing that the cross checking group can truly help to increase the cross checking rate of environmental protection agencies nationwide. Promotion and counseling: 10 relevant interpretation sessions have been completed, through assisting the environmental protection bureaus with the organization and dispatching personnel or enterprises to promote and instruct the relevant regulations and system operation methods, which received overall satisfaction of the participants above 80%. Full assistance was provided to local environmental protection bureaus to hold 20 interpretation sessions, which received satisfaction over 90%. The feedback and suggestions of the participants were submitted to the Environmental Protection Administration as reference for its improvement direction.
