Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage change from the amount reported in paragraphs (1) and (2). (5) A ratio of production in the reporting year to production in the previous year. The ratio should be calculated to most closely reflect all activities involving the toxic chemical. In specific industrial classifications subject to this section, where a feedstock or some variable other than production is the primary influence on waste characteristics or volumes, the report may provide an index based on that primary variable for each toxic chemical. The Administrator is encouraged to develop production indexes to accommodate individual industries for use on a voluntary basis.

Techniques listed should include, but are not limited to, employee recommendations, external ai^j internal audits, participative team management, and material balance audits.
