Are there Tier II deadline extensions?

Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) requires covered facilities to submit a Tier II form to their State or Tribal Emergency Response Commission (SERC or TERC), Local or Tribal Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC or TEPC), and local fire department on March 1st of every year. Can a facility obtain an extension from EPA to submit this form after the March 1st deadline?

EPCRA section 312(a)(2) states that facilities must submit a Tier I/Tier II form by the March 1st with respect to the previous calendar year. Since this is a statutory provision, EPA cannot grant extensions to the deadline.
