                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1
    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, July 1, 1998), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

OBSOLETE PROVISIONS

    Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on 
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text 
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the 
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before 
January 1, 1986, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-
1963, 1964-1972, or 1973-1985, published in seven separate volumes. For 
the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are 
listed in the Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in 
the Finding Aids of this volume as an approved incorporation by 
reference, please contact the agency that issued the regulation 
containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the agency, you find 
the material is not available, please notify the Director of the Federal 
Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC 
20408, or call (202) 523-4534.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory 
Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I), and Acts Requiring Publication 
in the Federal Register (Table II). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and 
parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are 
also included in this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.
    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.

[[Page vii]]

    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

                         Subpart C--Citizen Suit



Sec. 702.60  Purpose.

    Section 20 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes any 
person to begin a civil action to compel performance by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of TSCA non-discretionary acts or 
duties (section 20(a)(2)) or to restrain any violation of TSCA, or of 
any rule promulgated under sections 4, 5, or 6, or of any order issued 
under section 5 of TSCA (section 20(a)(1)). The purpose of this 
regulation is to prescribe procedures governing the giving of a notice 
of intent to file suit required by section 20(b) of TSCA as a 
prerequisite to beginning such civil actions.

TSCA, or a rule or order thereunder, unless at least 60 days in advance 
the citizen has given notice of the intent to file suit to the 
Administrator and to the person who is alleged to have committed the 
violation. No civil action may be commenced by a citizen to compel the 
Administrator to perform any non-discretionary act or duty under TSCA, 
unless at least 60 days in advance the citizen has given notice of the 
intent to file suit to the Administrator. However, in the case of an 
alleged failure by the Administrator to file an action under section 7 
of TSCA, the citizen must give notice to the Administrator only 10 days 
in advance of filing the civil action.
    (b) Method of service. Notice of intent to file suit can be either 
personally served or served by certified mail--return receipt 
requested--to persons identified in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (c) Date of service. The effective date of service of a notice given 
in accordance with this rule shall be the date of the return receipt, if 
served by mail, or the date of receipt if personally served.
    (d) Persons to be served--(1) Violations of TSCA rules or TSCA 
order. (i) If the alleged violator is a private individual or a 
corporation, notice of intent to file suit shall be served on the 
individual or the owner or managing agent of the plant, facility, or 
activity alleged to be in violation. If the alleged violator is a 
corporation, a copy of the notice shall also be sent to the registered 
agent, if any, of such corporation in the State in which such violation 
is alleged to have occurred. Notice shall also be served on the 
Administrator of the EPA.
    (ii) If the alleged violator is a State or local government entity, 
notice of intent to file suit shall be served on the head of the agency. 
Notice shall also be served on the Administrator of the EPA, and a copy 
shall be sent to the Attorney General of the United States.
    (iii) If the alleged violator is a Federal agency, notice of intent 
to file suit shall be served on the head of the agency. Notice shall 
also be served on the Administrator of the EPA, and a copy shall be sent 
to the Attorney General of the United States.
    (2) Performance of non-discretionary TSCA acts or duties. Notice of 
intent to file suit shall be served on the Administrator of the EPA and 
a copy shall be sent to the Attorney General of the United States.
    (3) Address of persons to be served. (i) EPA Administrator: 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. (ii) Attorney General of the United

    EPA means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
    Import means to import for commercial purposes.
    Import for commercial purposes means to import with the purpose of 
obtaining an immediate or eventual commercial advantage for the 
importer, and includes the importation of any amount of a chemical 
substance or mixture. If a chemical substance or mixture containing 
impurities is imported for commercial purposes, then those impurities 
also are imported for commercial purposes.
    Import in bulk form means to import a chemical substance (other than 
as part of a mixture or article) in any quantity, in cans, bottles, 
drums, barrels, packages, tanks, bags, or other containers, if the 
chemical substance is intended to be removed from the container and the 
substance has an end use or commercial purpose separate from the 
container.
    Importer means (1) any person who imports any chemical substance or 
any chemical substance as part of a mixture or article into the customs 
territory of the United States, and includes:

commercial advantage for the manufacturer, and includes among other 
things, such ``manufacture'' of any amount of a chemical substance or 
mixture:
    (i) For commercial distribution, including for test marketing.
    (ii) For use by the manufacturer, including use for product research 
and development, or as an intermediate.
    (2) Manufacture for commercial purposes also applies to substances 
that are produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, 
use, or disposal of another substance or mixture, including both 
byproducts that are separated from that other substance or mixture and 
impurities that remain in that substance or mixture. Such byproducts and 
impurities may, or may not, in themselves have commercial value. They 
are nonetheless produced for the purpose of obtaining a commercial 
advantage since they are part of the manufacture of a chemical product 
for a commercial purpose.
    Manufacturer means a person who imports, produces, or manufactures a 
chemical substance. A person who extracts a component chemical substance 
from a previously existing chemical substance or a complex combination 
of substances is a manufacturer of that component chemical substance.
    Non-isolated intermediate means any intermediate that is not 
intentionally removed from the equipment in which it is manufactured, 
including the reaction vessel in which it is manufactured, equipment 
which is ancillary to the reaction vessel, and any equipment through 
which the substance passes during a continuous flow process, but not 
including tanks or other vessels in which the substance is stored after 
its manufacture. Mechanical or gravity transfer through a closed system 
is not considered to be intentional removal, but storage or transfer to 
shipping containers ``isolates'' the substance by removing it from 
process equipment in which it is manufactured.
    Own or control means ownership of 50 percent or more of a company's 
voting stock or other equity rights, or the power to control the 
management and policies of that company. A company may own or control 
one or more sites. A company may be owned or controlled by a foreign or 
domestic parent company.
    Parent company is a company that owns or controls another company.
    Person includes any individual, firm, company, corporation, joint 
venture, partnership, sole proprietorship, association, or any other 
business entity; any State or political subdivision thereof; any 
municipality; any interstate body; and any department, agency, or 
instrumentality of the Federal Government.
    Possession or control means in the possession or control of any 
person, or of any subsidiary, partnership in which the person is a 
general partner, parent company, or any company or partnership which the 
parent company owns or controls, if the subsidiary, parent company, or 
other company or partnership is associated with the person in the 
research, development, test marketing, or commercial marketing of the 
substance in question. Information is in the possession or control of a 
person if it is:
    (1) In the person's own files including files maintained by 
employees of the person in the course of their employment.
    (2) In commercially available data bases to which the person has 
purchased access.
    (3) Maintained in the files in the course of employment by other 
agents of the person who are associated with research, development, test 
marketing, or commercial marketing of the chemical substance in 
question.
    Process means to process for commercial purposes.
    Process for commercial purposes means the preparation of a chemical 
substance or mixture after its manufacture for distribution in commerce 
with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual commercial 
advantage for the processor. Processing of any amount of a chemical 
substance or mixture is included in this definition. If a chemical 
substance or mixture containing impurities is processed for commercial 
purposes, then the impurities also are processed for commercial 
purposes.

[[Page 12]]

    Processor means any person who processes a chemical substance or 
mixture.
    Production volume means the quantity of a substance which is 
produced by a manufacturer, as measured in kilograms or pounds.
    Propose to manufacture, import, or process means that a person has 
made a firm management decision to commit financial resources for the 
manufacture, import, or processing of a specified chemical substance or 
mixture.
    Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by a 
public right-of-way shall be considered one site. There may be more than 
one plant on a single site. The site for a person who imports a 
substance is the site of the operating unit within the person's 
organization which is directly responsible for importing the substance 
and which controls the import transaction and may in some cases be the 
organization's headquarters office in the United States.
    Small manufacturer or importer means a manufacturer or importer that 
meets either of the following standards:
    (1) First standard. A manufacturer or importer of a substance is 
small if its total annual sales, when combined with those of its parent 
company (if any), are less than $40 million. However, if the annual 
production or importation volume of a particular substance at any 
individual site owned or controlled by the manufacturer or importer is 
greater than 45,400 kilograms (100,000 pounds), the manufacturer or 
importer shall not qualify as small for purposes of reporting on the 
production or importation of that substance at that site, unless the 
manufacturer or importer qualifies as small under standard (2) of this 
definition.
    (2) Second standard. A manufacturer or importer of a substance is 
small if its total annual sales, when combined with those of its parent 
company (if any), are less than $4 million, regardless of the quantity 
of substances produced or imported by that manufacturer or importer.
    (3) Inflation index. EPA shall make use of the Producer Price Index 
for Chemicals and Allied Products, as compiled by the U.S. Bureau of 
Labor Statistics, for purposes of determining the need to adjust the 
total annual sales values and for determining new sales values when 
adjustments are made. EPA may adjust the total annual sales values 
whenever the Agency deems it necessary to do so, provided that the 
Producer Price Index for Chemicals and Allied Products has changed more 
than 20 percent since either the most recent previous change in sales 
values or the date of promulgation of this rule, whichever is later. EPA 
shall provide Federal Register notification when changing the total 
annual sales values.
    Small quantities solely for research and development (or ``small 
quantities solely for purposes of scientific experimentation or analysis 
or chemical research on, or analysis of, such substance or another 
substance, including such research or analysis for the development of a 
product'') means quantities of a chemical substance manufactured, 
imported, or processed or proposed to be manufactured, imported, or 
processed solely for research and development that are not greater than 
reasonably necessary for such purposes.
    Substance means either a chemical substance or mixture unless 
otherwise indicated.
    Test marketing means the distribution in commerce of no more than a 
predetermined amount of a chemical substance, mixture, article 
containing that chemical substance or mixture, or a mixture containing 
that substance, by a manufacturer or processor, to no more than a 
defined number of potential customers to explore market capability in a 
competitive situation during a predetermined testing period prior to the 
broader distribution of that chemical substance, mixture, or article in 
commerce.
    Total annual sales means the total annual revenue (in dollars) 
generated by the sale of all products of a company. Total annual sales 
must include the total annual sales revenue of all sites owned or 
controlled by that company and the total annual sales revenue of that 
company's subsidiaries and foreign or domestic parent company, if any.
    TSCA means the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.

is claimed as confidential in the first copy will be considered a 
presumptive waiver of the claim of confidentiality. EPA will notify the 
respondent by certified mail that a finding of a presumptive waiver of 
the claim of confidentiality has been made. The respondent has 15 days 
from the date of receipt of notification to submit the required second 
copy. Failure to submit the second copy will cause EPA to place the 
first copy in the public file.
    (d) In submitting a claim of confidentiality, a person attests to 
the truth of the following four statements concerning all information 
which is claimed confidential:
    (1) My company has taken measures to protect the confidentiality of 
the information, and it intends to continue to take such measures.
    (2) The information is not, and has not been, reasonably obtainable 
without our consent by other persons (other than government bodies) by 
use of legitimate means (other than discovery based on a showing of 
special need in a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding).

[[Page 14]]

    (3) The information is not publicly available elsewhere.
    (4) Disclosure of the information would cause substantial harm to 
our competitive position.

    (a) Definitions. (1) 11-AA means the chemical substance 11-
aminoundecanoic acid, CAS Number 2432-99-7.
    (2) Enclosed process means a process that is designed and operated 
so that there is no intentional release of any substance present in the 
process. A process with fugitive, inadvertent, or emergency pressure 
relief releases remains an enclosed process so long as measures are 
taken to prevent worker exposure to an environmental contamination from 
the releases.
    (3) Internal subunit means a subunit that is covalently linked to at 
least two other subunits. Internal subunits of polymer molecules are 
chemically derived from monomer molecules that have formed covalent 
links between two or more other molecules.
    (4) Monomer means a chemical substance that has the capacity to form 
links between two or more other molecules.
    (5) Polymer means a chemical substance that consists of at least a 
simple weight majority of polymer molecules but consists of less than a 
simple weight majority of molecules with the same molecular weight. 
Collectively, such polymer molecules must be distributed over a range of 
molecular weights wherein differences in molecular weight are primarily 
attributable to differences in the number of internal subunits.
    (6) Polymer molecule means a molecule which includes at least four 
covalently linked subunits, at least two of which are internal subunits.
    (7) Small processor means a processor that meets either the standard 
in paragraph (a)(7)(i) of this section or the standard in paragraph 
(a)(7)(ii) of this section.
    (i) First standard. A processor of a chemical substance is small if 
its total annual sales, when combined with those of its parent company, 
if any, are less than $40 million. However, if the annual processing 
volume of a particular chemical substance at any individual site owned 
or controlled by the

[[Page 15]]

processor is greater than 45,400 kilograms (100,000 pounds), the 
processor shall not qualify as small for purposes of reporting on the 
processing of that chemical substance at that site, unless the processor 
qualifies as small under paragraph (a)(7)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) Second standard. A processor of a chemical substance is small 
if its total annual sales, when combined with those of its parent 
company (if any), are less than $4 million, regardless of the quantity 
of the particular chemical substance processed by that company.
    (iii) Inflation index. EPA will use the Inflation Index described in 
the definition of small manufacturer set forth in Sec. 704.3, for 
purposes of adjusting the total annual sales values of this small 
processor definition. EPA will provide notice in the Federal Register 
when changing the total annual sales values of this definition.
    (8) Subunit means an atom or group of associated atoms chemically 
derived from corresponding reactants.

         Subpart B--General Import Requirements and Restrictions



Sec. 707.20  Chemical substances import policy.

    (a) Scope. (1) This statement addresses the policy of the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on importation of chemical 
substances, mixtures, and articles under section 13 of the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA; 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). In particular, it 
addresses aspects of the regulation promulgated by the United States 
Customs Service (Customs), Department of the Treasury (19 CFR 12.118 
through 12.127, and 127.28 [amended]) to implement section 13 of TSCA, 
15 U.S.C. 2612. Section 13 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to 
refuse entry into the Customs territory of the United States of a 
chemical substance, mixture, or article if it does not comply with rules 
in effect under TSCA, or if it is offered for entry in violation of TSCA 
or rules or orders under TSCA.
    (2) In addition to this statement of policy, EPA will continue, as 
necessary, to address problems associated

[[Page 27]]

with imports in rulemaking and other actions under individual sections 
of TSCA, i.e., sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12. Sections 5, 6, and 7 
apply directly to imports subject to the section 13 requirements. 
Section 12 may apply to export of a shipment that is refused entry under 
section 13. Importers may have obligations under sections 4 and 8; 
section 4 and 8 requirements for importers would not apply to individual 
chemical shipments and thus are not included under section 13 
requirements. Interested persons should refer to the records of these 
individual rulemaking actions for specific information and guidance.
    (b) Objectives. (1) TSCA is intended to be comprehensive, and assure 
protection of health and the environment from unreasonable risks 
associated with chemicals whether the chemicals are imported or produced 
domestically. This intent is manifested by the inclusion of importation 
in the Act's definition of the term ``manufacture'': ``[M]anufacture 
means to import * * *, produce, or manufacture'' (15 U.S.C. 2602(7)). 
Thus, importers are responsible for insuring that chemical importation 
complies with TSCA just as domestic manufacturers are responsible for 
insuring that chemical manufacture complies with TSCA.
    (2)(i) The section 13 rule requires importers to sign the following 
statement for each import of chemical substances subject to TSCA: ``I 
certify that all chemical substances in this shipment comply with all 
applicable rules or orders under TSCA and that I am not offering a 
chemical substance for entry in violation of TSCA or any applicable rule 
or order under TSCA.'' The certification will document that, in 
accordance with TSCA, the importer has taken the necessary steps to 
insure compliance.
    (ii) The section 13 rule requires importers of chemicals not subject 
to TSCA (e.g., pesticides) to certify that compliance with TSCA is not 
required. Importers must certify this by signing the statement: ``I 
certify that all chemicals in this shipment are not subject to TSCA.'' 
This is appropriate when a chemical import is not clearly identified as 
a pesticide or other chemical not subject to TSCA.
    (3) The United States is involved in a major effort toward 
international harmonization in the control of chemicals. At such time as 
international agreement is reached on this issue, EPA would be prepared 
to modify its policy if necessary. EPA believes that its international 
harmonization efforts in the control of chemicals will protect health 
and the environment while fulfilling its obligations under the Trade 
Agreements Act of 1979.
    (c) The section 13 rule--(1) General certification. (i) The rule 
promulgated under section 13 of TSCA by Customs, in consultation with 
EPA, implements the requirement of section 13 that chemical substances, 
mixtures, or articles not in compliance with TSCA, or whose importation 
is not in compliance with TSCA, shall be denied entry into the customs 
territory of the United States. The rule requires that importers certify 
by a statement, on the entry document or invoice, that any shipment of a 
chemical substance subject to TSCA, imported in bulk or as part of a 
mixture, complies with TSCA, and that it is not offered for entry in 
violation of TSCA or any rule or order under TSCA, or that the chemicals 
imported are not subject to TSCA.
    (ii) The certification applies to TSCA sections 5, 6, and 7.
    (iii) EPA expects that this certification will be based upon actual 
knowledge of the importer in most cases. However, EPA realizes that 
sometimes importers may not have actual knowledge of the chemical 
composition of imported mixtures. In these cases, the importer should 
attempt to discover the chemical constituents of the shipment by 
contacting another party to the transaction (e.g., his principal or the 
foreign manufacturer). This person may be able to identify the 
components of the mixture, or at least state that the substances comply 
with TSCA. The greater the effort an importer makes to learn the 
identities of the imported substances and their compliance with TSCA, 
the smaller his chance of committing a violation by importing a 
noncomplying shipment. If a shipment is ultimately determined to have 
violated TSCA, the good faith efforts of the importer to verify 
compliance, as evidenced by documents contained in

[[Page 28]]

his files, may obviate or mitigate the assessment of a civil penalty 
under section 16 of TSCA.
    (2) EPA enforcement. (i) EPA and Customs will monitor chemical 
imports to determine if shipments and their import comply with the 
certification requirements and the substantive mandates of TSCA. Customs 
will refuse entry to any shipment until such time as the certification 
is properly submitted. Customs will also detain a shipment if there are 
reasonable grounds to believe that such shipment or its import violates 
TSCA or regulations or orders thereunder. A violative shipment must 
either be brought into compliance, exported, destroyed, or voluntarily 
abandoned within the time periods prescribed in 19 CFR 12.124 of the 
section 13 rule.
    (ii) When EPA determines that a shipment should be detained, EPA 
will identify the reasons for the detention and the necessary actions 
for an importer to bring the shipment into compliance with TSCA. If EPA 
has given this information to Customs before the district director 
issues the detention notice, the information will become part of the 
detention notice. The importer should contact one of the following EPA 
regional offices for guidance as to the proper procedures to correct any 
deficiencies in the shipment.

    (iii) If Customs detains or refuses entry of a shipment (other than 
for failure to make the general certification) and the importer takes 
measures necessary to bring the shipment into conformity with the 
requirements of TSCA, EPA officials will reassess the shipment to 
determine its current compliance status. When a shipment is no longer in 
violation, EPA will notify the district director and the importer. The 
district director will then release the shipment. This notice will also 
serve as a determination to permit entry under 19 CFR 12.123(c) if a 
shipment is brought into compliance before the 19 CFR 12.123(c) 
decisionmaking process has been completed. If compliance is achieved 
after a 19 CFR 12.123(c) determination (adverse to the importer) has 
been made, the EPA notice to the district director will serve as a 
reversal of the decision to refuse entry.
    (3) EPA assistance. Assistance in determining whether a chemical 
shipment is in compliance with TSCA can be obtained from the Director, 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Room E-543B, 401 M

Sec. 710.1  Scope and compliance.

    (a) This part establishes regulations governing reporting by certain 
persons who manufacture, import, or process chemical substances for 
commercial purposes under section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control 
Act (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)). Section 8(a) authorizes the Administrator to 
require reporting of information necessary for administration of the Act 
and requires EPA to issue regulations for the purpose of compiling an 
inventory of chemical substances manufactured or processed for a 
commercial purpose, as required by section 8(b) of the Act. Following an 
initial reporting period, EPA published an initial inventory of chemical 
substances manufactured, processed or imported for commercial purposes. 
In accordance with section 8(b), EPA periodically amends the inventory 
to include new chemical substances which are manufactured or imported 
for a commercial purpose and reported under section 5(a)(1) of the Act. 
EPA also revises the categories of chemical substances and makes other 
amendments as appropriate.
    (b) Section 15(3) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to fail 
or refuse to submit information required under these reporting 
regulations. In addition, section 15(3) makes it unlawful for any person 
to fail to keep, and permit access to, records required by these 
regulations. Section 16 provides that any person who violates a 
provision of section 15 is liable to the United States for a civil 
penalty and may be criminally prosecuted. Pursuant to section 17, the 
Government may seek judicial relief to compel submission of section 8(a) 
information and to otherwise restrain any violation of section 15.

    Note: As a matter of traditional Agency policy, EPA does not intend 
to concentrate its enforcement efforts on insignificant clerical errors 
in reporting.

    (c) Each person who reports under these regulations shall maintain 
records that document information reported under these regulations and, 
in accordance with the Act, permit access to, and the copying of, such 
records by EPA officials.

Sec. 710.38  Confidentiality.

    (a) Any person submitting information under this part may assert a 
business confidentiality claim for the information. The procedures for 
asserting confidentiality claims are described in the instruction 
booklet identified in Sec. 710.39. Information claimed as confidential 
in accordance with this section and those instructions will be treated 
and disclosed in accordance with the procedures in part 2 of this 
chapter.
    (b) A person may assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical 
identity of a specific chemical substance only if the identity of that 
substance is treated as confidential in the Master Inventory File as of 
the time the report is submitted for that substance under this part.
    (c) To assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical identity 
of a specific chemical substance, the person must take the following 
steps:
    (1) The person must submit with the report detailed written answers 
to the following questions signed and dated by an authorized official.
    (i) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, do 
you think would result from the identity of the chemical substance being 
disclosed in connection with reporting under this part? How could a 
competitor use such information? Would the effects of disclosure be 
substantial? What is the causal relationship between the disclosure and 
the harmful effects?
    (ii) How long should confidential treatment be given? Until a 
specific date, the occurrence of a specific event, or permanently? Why?
    (iii) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you 
granted licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to 
the chemical substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and 
therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be treated as 
confidential?
    (iv) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept 
confidential to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being 
manufactured or imported for a commercial purpose by anyone?
    (v) Is the fact that the chemical substance is being manufactured or 
imported for a commercial purpose available to the public, for example 
in technical journals, libraries, or State, local, or Federal agency 
public files?
    (vi) What measures have you taken to prevent undesired disclosure of 
the fact that this chemical substance is being manufactured or imported 
for a commercial purpose?
    (vii) To what extent has the fact that this chemical substance is 
manufactured or imported for commercial purposes been revealed to 
others? What precautions have been taken regarding these disclosures? 
Have there been public disclosures or disclosures to competitors?
    (viii) Does this particular chemical substance leave the site of 
manufacture in any form, as product, effluent, emission, etc.? If so, 
what measures have you taken to guard against discovery of its identity?
    (ix) If the chemical substance leaves the site in a product that is 
available to the public or your competitors, can the substance be 
identified by analysis of the product?

[[Page 40]]

    (x) For what purpose do you manufacture or import the substance?
    (xi) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any 
pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical 
substance? If so, please attach copies of such determinations.
    (2) If any of the information contained in the answers to the 
questions is asserted to contain confidential business information, the 
person must mark that information as ``trade secret,'' ``confidential,'' 
or other appropriate designation.
    (d) If no claim of confidentiality accompanies information at the 
time it is submitted to EPA under this part or if substantiation 
required under paragraph (c) of this section is not submitted with the 
reporting form, EPA may make the information available to the public 
without further notice to the submitter.

Sec. 712.3  Definitions.

    The definitions in section 3 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2602, apply for this 
part. In addition, the following definitions apply:
    (a) Byproduct means any chemical substance or mixture produced 
without a separate commercial intent during the manufacture, processing, 
use, or disposal of another chemical substance or mixture.
    (b) EPA means the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
    (c) Import in bulk form means to import a chemical substance (other 
than as part of a mixture or article) in any quantity, in cans, bottles, 
drums, barrels, packages, tanks, bags, or other containers used for 
purposes of transportation or containment, if the chemical substance has 
an end use or commercial purpose separate from the container.
    (d) Importer means anyone who imports a chemical substance, 
including a chemical substance as part of a mixture or article, into the 
customs territory of the U.S. and includes the person liable for the 
payment of any duties on the merchandise, or an authorized agent on his 
behalf. Importer also includes, as appropriate:
    (1) The consignee.
    (2) The importer of record.
    (3) The actual owner if an actual owner's declaration and 
superseding bond has been filed in accordance with 19 CFR 141.20.
    (4) The transferee, if the right to withdraw merchandise in a bonded 
warehouse has been transferred in accordance with subpart C of 19 CFR 
part 144. For the purposes of this definition, the customs territory of 
the U.S. consists of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of 
Columbia.
    (e) Impurity means a chemical substance unintentionally present with 
another chemical substance or mixture.
    (f) Intermediate means any chemical substance that is consumed, in 
whole or in part, in chemical reactions used for the intentional 
manufacture of other chemical substances or mixtures, or that is 
intentionally present for the purpose of altering the rates of such 
chemical reactions. (See also paragraph (j) of this section.)
    (g) Known to or reasonably ascertainable by means all information in 
a person's possession or control, plus all information that a reasonable 
person similarly situated might be expected to possess, control, or 
know, or could obtain without unreasonable burden.
    (h) Manufacture for commercial purposes means to import, produce, or 
manufacture with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual 
commercial advantage for the manufacturer and includes, among other 
things, such ``manufacture'' of any amount of a chemical substance or 
mixture:
    (1) For commercial distribution, including for test marketing.
    (2) For use by the manufacturer, including use for product research 
and development, or as an intermediate. Manufacture for commercial 
purposes also applies to substances that are produced coincidentally 
during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of another 
substance or mixture, including byproducts and coproducts that are 
separated from that other substance or mixture, and impurities that 
remain in that substance or mixture. Byproducts and impurities may not 
in themselves have commercial value. They are nonetheless produced for 
the purpose of obtaining a commercial advantage since they are part of 
the manufacture of a chemical produced for a commercial purpose.
    (i) Mixture means any combination of two or more chemical substances 
if the combination does not occur in nature and is not, in whole or in 
part, the result of a chemical reaction; except that mixture does 
include (1) any combination which occurs, in whole or in part, as a 
result of a chemical reaction if the combination could have been 
manufactured for commercial purposes without a chemical reaction at the 
time the chemical substances comprising the combination were combined, 
and if all of the chemical substances comprising the combination are 
included in the EPA, TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory after the 
effective date of the premanufacture notification requirement under 40 
CFR part 720, and (2) hydrates of a chemical substance or hydrated ions 
formed by association of a chemical substance with water. The

[[Page 42]]

term mixture includes alloys, inorganic glasses, ceramics, frits, and 
cements, including Portland cement.
    (j) Non-isolated intermediate means any intermediate that is not 
intentionally removed from the equipment in which it is manufactured, 
including the reaction vessel in which it is manufactured, equipment 
which is ancillary to the reaction vessel, and any equipment through 
which the substance passes during a continuous flow process, but not 
including tanks or other vessels in which the substance is stored after 
its manufacture. (See also paragraph (f) of this section.)
    (k) Owned or controlled by the parent company means the parent owns 
or controls 50 percent or more of the other company's voting stock or 
other equity rights, or has the power to control the management and 
policies of the other company.
    (l) Person means any natural person, firm, company, corporation, 
joint venture, partnership, sole proprietorship, association, or any 
other business entity, any State or political subdivision thereof, any 
municipality, any interstate body, and any department, agency, or 
instrumentality of the Federal government.
    (m) Process for commercial purposes means the preparation of a 
chemical substance or mixture, after its manufacture, for distribution 
in commerce with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual 
commercial advantage for the processor. Processing of any amount of a 
chemical substance or mixture is included. If a chemical or mixture 
containing impurities is processed for commercial purposes, then those 
impurities are also processed for commercial purposes.
    (n) Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by 
a public right-of-way shall be considered one site. There may be more 
than one manufacturing plant on a single site.
    (o) Test marketing means distributing in commerce a limited amount 
of a chemical substance or mixture, or article containing such substance 
or mixture, to a defined number of potential customers, during a 
predetermined testing period, to explore market capability prior to 
broader distribution in commerce.
    (p) TSCA means the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq.




Sec. 712.5  Method of identification of substances for reporting purposes.

    (a) Report on TSCA-regulable quantities. Unless specifically 
otherwise required, respondents must report only about quantities of a 
chemical that is defined as a chemical substance under TSCA section 
3(2).
    (b) Chemicals from natural sources. A manufacturer of a chemical 
substance which is extracted from an ore, from oil, or from any other 
natural source must report only about the manufacturing steps for, and 
the uses of, that chemical, not about production of the natural source 
material or other crude precursors derived from the natural source 
material.

    For example, persons who manufacture a chemical substance such as 
``sweetened naphtha, 64741-87-3,'' but do not refine the naphtha to 
produce ``hexane, 110-54-3'' would not report on hexane. Only the 
production of ``hexane'' as an isolated product must be reported--not 
previous production of more crude, complex substances such as naphtha 
from which hexane is extracted. Thus, persons who produce crude oil, 
ores, and other crude natural materials, but do not carry them through 
further manufacturing steps that produce a listed chemical have no 
reporting responsibilities under this Part. Note, however, that any 
method of extraction, refinement, or purification of a listed chemical 
substance is considered to be manufacturing for the purposes of this 
rule.

    (c) Chemical substances as marketed. This part requires reporting 
about chemical substances as they are marketed or used in practice. The 
following preparations of a chemical substance must be reported as the 
substance itself, not as a mixture, since these preparations are 
regarded as the substance in practice.
    (1) The chemical substance in aqueous solution.
    (2) The chemical substance containing an additive (such as a 
stabilizer or other chemical) to maintain the integrity or physical form 
of the substance.
    (3) The chemical substance in any grade of purity.

Sec. 712.7  Report of readily obtainable information for Subparts B and C.

    TSCA section 8(a) authorizes EPA to require persons to report 
information that is known to or reasonably ascertainable by them. For 
purposes of subpart B, however, a lesser standard applies. Companies 
must report information that is readily obtainable by management and 
supervisory employees responsible for manufacturing, processing, 
distributing, technical services, and marketing. Extensive file searches 
are not required.
[47 FR 26998, June 22, 1982, as amended at 60 FR 31921, June 19, 1995]



Sec. 712.15  Confidentiality.

    (a) Any person submitting information under this part may assert 
business confidentiality claims for the information as described in the 
pertinent reporting form and its instructions. Any information covered 
by a claim will be disclosed by EPA only as provided in the procedures 
set forth at 40 CFR part 2.
    (b) Persons must certify to the validity of a claim of 
confidentiality they make for information reported under this part, as 
specified on the reporting form.
    (c) If no claim accompanies the information at the time it is 
submitted to EPA or if certification as to the claim is not made on the 
reporting form, EPA may place the information in an open file available 
to the public without further notice to the submitter.



 Subpart B--Manufacturers Reporting--Preliminary Assessment Information



Sec. 712.20  Manufacturers and importers who must report.

    Except as described in Sec. 712.25, at the time a chemical substance 
is listed in Sec. 712.3, the following persons must submit the 
``Manufacturer's Report--Preliminary Assessment Information'' (as 
described in Sec. 712.28) for each plant site at which they manufactured 
or imported the chemical substance during the reporting period specified 
in Sec. 712.30:
    (a) Persons who manufactured one or more of the chemical substances 
listed in Sec. 712.30 for commercial purposes.
    (b) Persons who imported in bulk form one or more of the chemical 
substances listed in Sec. 712.30 for commercial purposes.



Sec. 712.25  Exempt manufacturers and importers.

    (a) Persons who manufactured or imported the chemical substance 
during the reporting period, solely for purposes of scientific 
experimentation, analysis, or research, including research or analysis 
for product development, are not subject to reporting under Sec. 712.20.
    (b) Persons who, during the reporting period, manufactured or 
imported fewer than 500 kilograms (1100 pounds) of the chemical 
substance at a single plant site are not subject to reporting for that 
site under Sec. 712.20.
    (c) Persons who qualify as small manufacturers or importers in 
respect to a specific chemical substance listed in Sec. 712.30 are 
exempt. However, this exemption does not apply with respect to any 
chemical in Sec. 712.30 designated by an asterisk. A manufacturer is 
qualified as small and is exempt from submitting a report under this 
subpart for a chemical substance manufactured at a particular plant site 
if both of the following criteria are met:
    (1) Total annual sales taken together of all sites owned or 
controlled by the foreign or domestic parent company were below $30 
million for the reporting period;
    (2) Total production of the listed substance for the reporting 
period was below 45,400 kilograms (100,000 pounds) at the plant site.
    (d) Persons are not subject to reporting under Sec. 712.20 if they 
manufactured or imported the chemical substance during the reporting 
period only in the following forms:
    (1) As a byproduct that was not used or sold or that was formed as 
described in 40 CFR 710.4(d) (3) through (7).
    (2) As a non-isolated intermediate.
    (3) As an impurity.

Sec. 712.30  Chemical lists and reporting periods.

    (a)(1) Persons subject to this subpart B must submit a Preliminary 
Assessment Information Manufacturer's Report for each chemical substance 
or mixture that is listed or designated in this section.
    (2) Unless a respondent has already prepared a Manufacturer's Report 
in conformity with conditions set forth in paragraph (a)(3) of this 
section, the information in each Manufacturer's Report must cover the 
respondent's latest complete corporate fiscal year as of the effective 
date. The effective date will be 30 days after the Federal Register 
publishes a rule amendment making the substance or mixture subject to 
this subpart B.
    (3) Persons subject to this subpart B need not comply with the 
requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of this section if they meet either one 
of the following conditions:
    (i) The respondent has previously and voluntarily provided EPA with 
a Manufacturer's Report on a chemical substance or mixture subject to 
this subpart B, which contains data for a one-year period ending no more 
than three years prior to the effective date described in paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section. Respondents meeting this condition must notify 
EPA by letter of their desire to have the voluntary submission used in 
lieu of a current data submission and must verify the completeness and 
current accuracy of the voluntarily submitted data. Such letters must 
contain the following language: ``I hereby certify that, to the best of 
my knowledge and belief, all information entered on this form is 
complete and accurate. I agree to permit access to, and the copying of 
records by, a duly authorized representative of the EPA Administrator, 
in accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act, to document any 
information reported on the form.'' Notification letters must be 
submitted prior to the reporting deadline.
    (ii) The respondent has previously submitted a Manufacturer's Report 
on a chemical substance or mixture subject to this subpart B to the 
Interagency Testing Committee, but not to EPA, and that Report contained 
data for a one-year period ending less than three years prior to the 
effective date described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. 
Respondents meeting this condition must submit a copy of the 
Manufacturer's Report to EPA, and must submit an accompanying letter 
notifying EPA of the respondent's intent that the submission be used in 
lieu of a current Manufacturer's Report. The notification letter must 
verify the completeness and current accuracy of the voluntarily 
submitted data. Such a letter must contain the following language: ``I 
hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all 
information entered on this form is complete and accurate. I agree to 
permit

[[Page 45]]

access to, and the copying of records by, a duly authorized 
representative of the EPA Administrator, in accordance with the Toxic 
Substances Control Act, to document any information reported on the 
form.'' The submission must be made prior to the reporting deadline.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, chemical 
substances and designated mixtures will be added after a notice of 
proposed amendment of this subpart is published in the Federal Register. 
There will be a 30 day public comment period on each notice; after 
consideration of the comments, a final amendment will identify the 
substances and mixtures added.
    (c) Chemical substances, mixtures, and categories of substances or 
mixtures that have been added by the Interagency Testing Committee, 
established under section 4(e) of TSCA, to the section 4(e) Priority 
List, for testing consideration by the Agency, will be added to this 
section 30 days after EPA issues for publication in the Federal Register 
a rule amendment listing these chemical substances, mixtures and 
categories. A Preliminary Assessment Information--Manufacturer's Report 
must be submitted for each chemical substance and mixture within 60 days 
after the effective date of the listing. At the discretion of the 
Assistant Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, 
a listed substance, mixture or category may be withdrawn, for good 
cause, from the rule's reporting requirements prior to the effective 
date. Any information submitted showing why a substance, mixture or 
category should be removed from the rule must be received by EPA within 
14 days after the date of publication of the notice under this 
paragraph. If a substance, mixture or category is removed, a Federal 
Register notice announcing this decision will be published no later than 
the effective date of the amendment. Any information submitted must be 
addressed to the Document Control Office (7407), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Room G-099, 
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC., 20460, ATTN: 8(a) Auto-ITC.
    (d) Manufacturers and importers of the substances listed below must 
submit a Preliminary Assessment Information Manufacturer's Report for 
each site at which they manufacture or import each substance by the 
reporting date shown in the table below. The substances are listed in 
Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number order. Typically EPA lists 
the trivial or common name first, then, following the symbol ``- -'', 
EPA lists the substance by its TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory name. 
Whenever EPA lists a single name, the name may be either the TSCA 
Chemical Substance Inventory name, a trivial name, or a common name. 
Generally, when a single name is listed, it is the TSCA Chemical 
Substances Inventory name.

                       Subpart--General Provisions



Sec. 716.1  Scope and compliance.

    (a) This subpart sets forth requirements for the submission of lists 
and copies of health and safety studies on chemical substances and 
mixtures selected for priority consideration for testing rules under 
section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and on other 
chemical substances and mixtures for which EPA requires health and 
safety information in fulfilling the purposes of TSCA.
    (b) Section 15(3) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to fail 
or refuse to submit information required under this subpart. Section 16 
provides that a violation of section 15 renders a person liable to the 
United States for a civil penalty and possible criminal prosecution. 
Under section 17, the district courts of the United States have 
jurisdiction to restrain any violation of section 15.



Sec. 716.3  Definitions.

    The definitions in section 3 of TSCA apply to this subpart. In 
addition, the following definitions are provided for the purposes of 
this subpart:
    Byproduct means a chemical substance produced without a separate 
commercial intent during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal 
of another chemical substance(s) or mixture(s).
    Co-product means a chemical substance produced for a commercial 
purpose during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of another 
chemical substance(s) or mixture(s).
    Copy of study means the written presentation of the purpose and 
methodology of a study and its results.
    EPA means the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
    Health and safety study or study means any study of any effect of a 
chemical substance or mixture on health or the environment or on both, 
including underlying data and epidemiological studies, studies of 
occupational exposure to a chemical substance or mixture, toxicological, 
clinical, and ecological or other studies of a chemical substance or 
mixture, and any test performed under TSCA.
    (1) It is intended that the term health and safety study be 
interpreted broadly. Not only is information which arises as a result of 
a formal, disciplined study included, but other information relating to 
the effects of a chemical substance or mixture on health or the 
environment is also included. Any data that bear on the effects of a 
chemical substance on health or the environment would be included. 
Chemical identity is part of, or underlying data to, a health and safety 
study.
    (2) Examples are:
    (i) Long- and short-term tests of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, or 
teratogenicity; data on behavioral disorders; dermatoxicity; 
pharmacological effects; mammalian absorption, distribution, metabolism, 
and excretion; cumulative, additive, and synergistic effects; and acute, 
subchronic, and chronic effects.
    (ii) Tests for ecological or other environmental effects on 
invertebrates, fish, or other animals, and plants, including: Acute 
toxicity tests, chronic

[[Page 54]]

toxicity tests, critical life-stage tests, behavioral tests, algal 
growth tests, seed germination tests, plant growth or damage tests, 
microbial function tests, bioconcentration or bioaccumulation tests, and 
model ecosystem (microcosm) studies.
    (iii) Assessments of human and environmental exposure, including 
workplace exposure, and impacts of a particular chemical substance or 
mixture on the environment, including surveys, tests, and studies of: 
Biological, photochemical, and chemical degradation; structure/activity 
relationships; air, water, and soil transport; biomagnification and 
bioconcentration; and chemical and physical properties, e.g., boiling 
point, vapor pressure, evaporation rates from soil and water, octanol/
water partition coefficient, and water solubility.
    (iv) Monitoring data, when they have been aggregated and analyzed to 
measure the exposure of humans or the environment to a chemical 
substance or mixture.
    Import means to import for commercial purposes.
    Import for commercial purposes means to import with the purpose of 
obtaining an immediate or eventual commercial advantage for the 
importer, and includes the importation of any amount of a chemical 
substance or mixture. If a chemical substance or mixture containing 
impurities is imported for commercial purposes, then those impurities 
are also imported for commercial purposes.
    Importer means any person who imports a chemical substance, 
including a chemical substance as a part of a mixture or article, into 
the customs territory of the United States and includes the person 
primarily liable for the payment of any duties on the merchandise or an 
authorized agent acting on his behalf (as defined in 19 CFR 1.11). 
Importer also includes, as appropriate:
    (1) The consignee.
    (2) The importer of record.
    (3) The actual owner, if an actual owner's declaration and 
superseding bond has been filed in accordance with 19 CFR 141.20.
    (4) The transferee, if the right to draw merchandise in a bonded 
warehouse has been transferred in accordance with subpart C of 19 CFR 
part 144. For the purpose of this definition, the customs territory of 
the United States consists of the 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the 
District of Columbia.
    Impurity means a chemical substance which is unintentionally present 
with another chemical substance.
    Listed mixture means any mixture listed in Sec. 716.120.
    Manufacture means to manufacture for commercial purposes.
    Manufacture for commercial purposes means: (1) To produce, with the 
purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual commercial advantage for 
the manufacturer, and includes among other things such ``manufacture'' 
of any amount of a chemical substance or mixture:
    (i) For commercial distribution, including for test marketing.
    (ii) For use by the manufacturer, including use for product research 
and development, or as an intermediate.
    (2) Manufacture for commercial purposes also applies to substances 
that are produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, 
use, or disposal of another substance or mixture, including byproducts 
and impurities. Such byproducts and impurities may, or may not, in 
themselves have commercial value. They are nonetheless produced for the 
purpose of obtaining a commercial advantage since they are part of the 
manufacture of a chemical product for a commercial purpose.
    Manufacturer means a person who produces or manufactures a chemical 
substance. A person who extracts a component chemical substance from a 
previously existing chemical substance or a complex combination of 
substances is a manufacturer of that component chemical substance.
    Person includes any individual, firm, company, corporation, joint-
venture, partnership, sole proprietorship, association, or any other 
business entity, any State or political subdivision thereof, any 
municipality, any interstate body, and any department, agency, or 
instrumentality of the Federal government.
    Process means to process for commercial purposes.

[[Page 55]]

    Process for commercial purposes means the preparation of a chemical 
substance or mixture, after its manufacture, for distribution in 
commerce with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual 
commercial advantage for the processor. Processing of any amount of a 
chemical substance or mixture is included. If a chemical substance or 
mixture containing impurities is processed for commercial purposes, then 
those impurities are also processed for commercial purposes.
    Propose to manufacture, import, or process means that a person has 
made a management decision to commit financial resources toward the 
manufacture, importation, or processing of a substance or mixture.
    Substance means chemical substance as defined at section 3(2)(A) of 
TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2602(2)(A).
    TSCA means the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq.).

Sec. 716.40  EPA requests for submission of further information.

    EPA may, by letter, request a person to submit or make available for 
review the following information after the initial reporting under 
Secs. 716.30 and 716.35. If the requested submissions are not made, EPA 
may subpoena them under section 11 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2610.
    (a) Submission of underlying data of the kind described in 
Sec. 716.10(a)(4) by persons who submit copies of studies under 
Sec. 716.30 or list studies under Sec. 716.35(a)(1) or 
Sec. 716.35(a)(2).
    (b) Submission of preliminary reports of ongoing studies by persons

    Section 716.120 lists substances and mixtures, in order by Chemical 
Abstract Service Registry Number and by alphabetical order. Studies of 
listed substances and listed mixtures shall be reported as follows:
    (a) When a substance is individually listed under Sec. 716.120(a), 
studies of the substance and studies of mixtures

[[Page 59]]

known to contain the substance must be reported as studies of that 
substance.
    (b) When two or more substances are listed as a mixture under 
Sec. 716.120(b), studies of the listed mixture and studies of any 
mixture known to contain the listed mixture must be reported as studies 
of the listed mixture.
    (c) Studies of the following preparations of a substance must be 
reported as studies of the substance itself, not as studies of mixtures 
known to contain the substance.
    (1) The substance in aqueous solution.
    (2) The substance containing a small amount of an additive, such as 
a stabilizer, emulsifier, or other chemical added for purposes of 
maintaining the integrity or physical form of the substance.
    (3) The substance of the grade/purity specified in each rule 
promulgated under 15 U.S.C. 2607(d).
[51 FR 32726, Sept. 15, 1986, as amended at 63 FR 15774, Apr. 1, 1998]



Sec. 716.50  Reporting physical and chemical properties.

    Studies of physical and chemical properties must be reported under 
this subpart if performed for the purpose of determining the 
environmental or biological fate of a substance, and only if they 
investigated one or more of the following properties:
    (a) Water solubility.
    (b) Adsorption/desorption on particulate surfaces, e.g., soil.
    (c) Vapor pressure.
    (d) Octanol/water partition coefficient.
    (e) Density/relative density (specific gravity).
    (f) Particle size distribution for insoluble solids.
    (g) Dissociation constant.
    (h) Degradation by photochemical mechanisms--aquatic and 
atmospheric.
    (i) Degradation by chemical mechanisms--hydrolytic, reductive, and 
oxidative.
    (j) Degradation by biological mechanisms--aerobic and anaerobic.



Sec. 716.55  Confidentiality claims.

    (a)(1) Section 14(b) of TSCA provides that EPA may not withhold from 
disclosure, on the grounds that they are confidential business 
information, health and safety studies of any substance or mixture that 
has been offered for commercial distribution (including for test 
marketing purposes and for use in research and development), any 
substance or mixture for which testinq is required under TSCA section 4, 
or any substance for which notice is required under TSCA section 5, 
except to the extent that disclosure of data from such studies would 
reveal--
    (i) Processes used in the manufacturing, importing, or processing of 
the substance or mixture, or
    (ii) The portion of a mixture comprised by any of the substances in 
the mixture.
    (2) Any respondent who wishes to assert a claim that part of a study 
should be withheld from disclosure because disclosure would reveal a 
confidential process or quantitative mixture composition should briefly 
state the basis of the claim, e.g., by saying ``reveals confidential 
mixture proportion data,'' and clearly identify the material subject to 
the claim.
    (3) Any respondent may assert a confidentiality claim for company 
name or address, financial statistics, and product codes used by a 
company. This information will not be subject to the disclosure 
requirements of section 14(b) of TSCA.
    (4) Information other than company name or address, financial 
statistics, and product codes used by a company, which is contained in a 
study, the disclosure of which would clearly be an unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy (such as individual medical records), will be 
considered confidential by EPA as provided in Title 5, United States 
Code, section 552(b)(6).
    (b) To assert a claim of confidentiality for data contained in a 
submitted document, the respondent must submit two copies of the 
document:
    (1) One copy must be complete. In that copy, the respondent must 
indicate what data, if any, are claimed as confidential by bracketing or 
underlining the specific information. Each page containing data claimed 
as confidential must also contain a brief statement for the basis of the 
claim as well

[[Page 60]]

as a label such as ``confidential,'' ``proprietary,'' or ``trade 
secret.''
    (2) The second copy must be complete, except that all information 
claimed as confidential in the first copy must be deleted. The second 
copy will be immediately subject to public disclosure.
    (3) Failure to furnish a second copy when information is claimed as 
confidential in the first copy will be considered a presumptive waiver 
of the claim of confidentiality. EPA will notify the respondent by 
certified mail that a finding of a presumptive waiver of the claim of 
confidentiality has been made. The respondent will be given 30 days from 
the date of his or her receipt of this notification to submit the 
required second copy. If the respondent fails to submit the second copy 
within the 30 days, EPA will place the first copy in the public file.
    (c) If no claim of confidentiality accompanies a document at the 
time it is submitted to EPA, the document will be placed in an open file 
available to the public without further notice to the respondent.



Sec. 716.60  Reporting schedule.

    (a) General requirements. Except as provided in Sec. 716.5 and 
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, submissions under Secs. 716.30 
and 716.35 must be postmarked on or before 60 days after the effective 
date of the listing of a substance or mixture in Sec. 716.120 or within 
60 days of proposing to manufacture (including import) or process a 
listed substance or listed mixture (including as a known byproduct) if 
first done after the effective date of the substance or mixture being 
listed in Sec. 716.120.
    (b)(1) Submission of lists of initiated studies. Persons subject to 
the listing requirements of Sec. 716.35(a)(2) must inform EPA of the 
initiated study within 30 days of its initiation.
    (2) Submission of copies of completed studies. Persons must submit

Sec. 716.65   Reporting period.

    Unless otherwise required in a rule promulgated under 15 U.S.C. 
2607(d) relating to a listed chemical substance or listed mixture 
[hereinafter ``rule''], the reporting period for a listed chemical 
substance or listed mixture will terminate 60 days after the effective 
date on which the listed chemical substance or listed mixture is added 
to 40 CFR 716.120. EPA may require reporting for a listed chemical 
substance or listed mixture beyond the 60 day period in a rule 
promulgated under 15 U.S.C. 2607(d), however EPA will not extend any 
reporting period later than 2 years after the effective date on which a 
listed chemical substance or listed mixture is added to 40 CFR 716.120. 
After the applicable reporting period terminates, any person subject to 
the rule under 40 CFR 716.5 (a)(2) or (a)(3) and who has submitted to 
EPA lists of ongoing or initiated studies under 40 CFR 716.35 (a)(1) or 
(a)(2) must submit a copy of any such study within 30 days after its 
completion, regardless of the study's completion date.

                  Subpart B--Specific Chemical Listings



Sec. 716.105  Additions of substances and mixtures to which this subpart applies.

    The requirements of this subpart will be extended periodically to 
cover additional substances and mixtures. Two procedures will be used to 
add substances and mixtures.

[[Page 61]]

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, substances 
and mixtures will be added to Sec. 716.120 after publication in the 
Federal Register of a notice of proposed amendment to this subpart. 
There will be at least a 30-day public comment period on the notice. 
After consideration of the comments, EPA will amend Sec. 716.120 by 
final rule to add the substances and listed mixtures.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, chemical 
substances, mixtures, and categories of chemical substances that have 
been added to the TSCA section 4(e) Priority List by the Interagency 
Testing Committee, established under section 4 of TSCA, will be added to 
Sec. 716.120 but only to the extent that the total number of designated 
and recommended substances, mixtures and categories of chemical 
substances has not exceeded 50 in any 1 year. The addition of such 
chemical substances, mixtures, and categories of chemical substances to 
Sec. 716.120 will be effective 30 days after publication of a notice to 
that effect in the Federal Register.
    (c) Prior to the effective date of an amendment under paragraph (b) 
of this section, the Assistant Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides 
and Toxic Substances may for good cause withdraw a chemical substance, 
mixture, or category of chemical substances from Sec. 716.120. Any 
information submitted showing why a chemical substance, mixture, or 
category of chemical substances should be withdrawn from the amendment 
must be received by EPA within 14 days after the date of publication of 
the notice under paragraph (b) of this section. If a chemical substance, 
mixture, or category of chemical substances is withdrawn, a Federal 
Register notice announcing this decision will be published no later than 
the effective date of the amendment under paragraph (b) of this section. 
Persons who wish to submit information that shows why a chemical should 
be withdrawn must address their comments, in writing to the Document 
Control Office (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC., 20460, ATTN: 8(d) Auto-ITC.

                      Subpart A--General Provisions



Sec. 717.1  Scope and compliance.

    Section 8 (c) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 
manufacturers, processors, and distributors of chemical substances and 
mixtures:
    (a) To keep ``records of significant adverse reactions to health or 
the environment, as determined by the Administrator by rule, alleged to 
have been caused by the substance or mixture.''
    (b) To ``permit inspection and submit copies of such records'', upon 
request of any designated representative of the Administrator. This rule 
implements section 8(c) of TSCA. It describes the records to be kept and 
prescribes the conditions under which certain firms must submit or make 
the records available to a duly designated representative of the 
Administrator.



Sec. 717.3  Definitions.

    The definitions set forth in section 3 of TSCA and the following 
definitions apply to this part:
    (a) Allegation means a statement, made without formal proof or 
regard for evidence, that a chemical substance or mixture has caused a 
significant adverse reaction to health or the environment.
    (b) Firm or company means any person, that is subject to this part, 
as defined in Sec. 717.5.
    (c)(1) Known human effects means a commonly recognized human health 
effect of a particular substance or mixture as described either in:
    (i) Scientific articles or publications abstracted in standard 
reference sources.
    (ii) The firm's product labeling or material safety data sheets 
(MSDS).
    (2) However, an effect is not a ``known human effect'' if it:
    (i) Was a significantly more severe toxic effect than previously 
described.
    (ii) Was a manifestation of a toxic effect after a significantly 
shorter exposure period or lower exposure level than described.
    (iii) Was a manifestation of a toxic effect by an exposure route 
different from that described.
    (d) Manufacture or process means to manufacture or process for 
commercial purposes.
    (e)(1) Manufacture for commercial purposes means to import, produce, 
or manufacture with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual 
commercial advantage for the manufacturer, and includes, among other 
things, such ``manufacture'' of any amount of a chemical substance or 
mixture:
    (i) For distribution in commerce, including for test marketing.
    (ii) For use by the manufacturer, including use for product research 
and development, or as an intermediate.
    (2) Manufacture for commercial purposes also applies to substances 
that are produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, 
use, or disposal of another substance or mixture, including both 
byproducts that are separated from that other substances or mixture and 
impurities that remain in that substance or mixture. Such byproducts and 
impurities may, or may not, in themselves have commercial value. They 
are nonetheless produced for the purpose of obtaining a commercial 
advantage since they are part of the manufacture of a chemical product 
for a commercial purpose.
    (f) Person includes any individual, firm, company, corporation, 
joint venture, partnership, sole proprietorship,

[[Page 90]]

association, or any other business entity, any State or political 
subdivision thereof, and any department, agency, or instrumentally of 
the Federal Government.
    (g) Process for commercial purposes means the preparation of a 
chemical substance or mixture, after its manufacture, for distribution 
in commerce with the purpose of obtaining an immediate or eventual 
commercial advantage for the processor. Processing of any amount of a 
chemical substance or mixture is included. If a chemical substance or 
mixture containing impurities is processed for commercial purposes, then 
those impurities are also processed for commercial purposes.
    (h) Retailer means a person who distributes in commerce a chemical 
substance, mixture, or article to ultimate purchasers who are not 
commercial entities.
    (i) Significant adverse reactions are reactions that may indicate a 
substantial impairment of normal activities, or long-lasting or 
irreversible damage to health or the environment.
    (j) Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by 
a public right-of-way is considered one site. There may be multiple 
manufacturing, processing, or distribution activities occurring within a 
single site.
    (k) Substance means a chemical substance or mixture unless otherwise 
indicated.



Sec. 717.5  Persons subject to this part.

    (a) Manufacturers. (1) All manufacturers of chemical substances are 
subject to this part except as provided in Sec. 717.7(a). If manufacture 
of a chemcial substance occurs at any site owned or controlled by a firm

    (i) Any allegation identifying any mixture it produces and 
distributes in commerce and any allegation identifying any chemical 
substance or mixture it repackages and distributes in commerce.
    (ii) Any allegation identifying any of its own further processing or 
distribution in commerce activities of the products described in 
paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section.
    (iii) Any allegation identifying emissions, effluents, or other 
discharges from activities described in this paragraph.
    (iv) Any allegation identifying a substance produced coincidentally 
during the processing, use, storage or disposal of the products 
described in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section.
    (c) SIC code. SIC codes applicable to this part are published in 
Standard Industrial Classification Manual--1972 and the 1977 Supplement.

Sec. 717.7  Persons not subject to this part.

    (a) Manufacturers. (1) Persons or site activities are exempt from 
this part if the means by which they manufacture a chemical substance 
solely involves mining or other solely extractive functions, e.g., those 
companies or sites within a company whose sole function is to mine 
mineral ores, extract petroleum or natural gas, quarry non-metallic 
minerals (including extraction of salts from seawater or brines), mine 
or otherwise extract coal, or separate gases from the atmosphere. This 
exemption may include, but is not necessarily limited to, firms engaged 
in activities as described in SIC Division B--Mining and SIC Code 2813--
Industrial Gases.
    (2) A person is not subject to this part if the chemical substances 
that person causes to be produced are limited to:
    (i) Chemical substances that result from chemical reactions that 
occur incidental to exposure of another chemical substance, mixture, or 
article to environmental factors such as air, moisture, microbial 
organisms, or sunlight.
    (ii) Chemical substances that result from chemical reactions that 
occur incidental to storage or disposal of other chemical substances, 
mixtures, or articles.
    (iii) Chemical substances that result from chemical reactions that 
occur upon end use of other chemical substances, mixtures, or articles 
such as adhesives, paints, miscellaneous cleaners or other housekeeping 
products, fuel additives, water softening and treatment agents, 
photographic films, batteries, matches, or safety flares, and that are 
not themselves manufactured or imported for distribution in commerce for 
use as chemical intermediates.
    (iv) Chemical substances that result from chemical reactions that 
occur upon use of curable plastic or rubber molding compounds, inks, 
drying oils, metal finishing compounds, adhesives, or paints, or other 
chemical substance formed during the manufacture of an article destined 
for the marketplace without further chemical change of the chemical 
substance.
    (v) Chemical substances that result from chemical reactions that 
occur when (A) a stabilizer, colorant, odorant, antioxidant, filler, 
solvent, carrier, surfactant, plasticizer, corrosion inhibitor, 
antifoamer or defoamer, dispersant, precipitation-inhibitor, binder, 
emulsifier, deemulsifier, dewatering agent, agglomerating agent, 
adhesion promoter, flow modifier, pH adjuster, sequestrant, coagulant, 
flocculant, fire retardant, lubricant, chelating agent, or quality 
control reagent functions as intended, or (B) a chemical substance, 
which is intended solely to impart a specific physicochemical 
characteristic, functions as intended.
    (b) [Reserved]
    (c) Sole distributors. A person solely engaged in the distribution 
of chemical substances is exempt from this part, unless such person is 
also a manufacturer or processor subject to this part. For example, a 
``distributor'' who repackages chemical substances or mixtures is 
considered to be a processor and, thus, is not a sole distributor. Sole 
distributors may include, but are not limited to, those firms that 
distribute chemical substances as described in the wholesale trade SIC 
codes 5161--Chemicals and Allied Products, 5171--Petroleum Bulk Stations 
and Terminals, and 5172--Petroleum and Petroleum Products Wholesalers, 
Except Bulk Stations and Terminals.
    (d) Retailers. A person who is a retailer is exempt from this part 
unless such person is also a manufacturer or a processor subject to this 
part.
[48 FR 38187, Aug 22, 1983, as amended at 50 FR 46770, Nov. 13, 1985]

    (a) Allegations subject to this part are those allegations received 
on or after November 21, 1983 by persons subject to this part.
    (b) Allegations subject to this part are those that:
    (1) Are submitted either in writing and are signed by the alleger, 
or are submitted orally. In the case of an oral allegation, the firm 
must transcribe the allegation into written form, or it must inform the 
alleger that such allegation may be subject to this part and request 
that the alleger submit such

[[Page 92]]

allegation to the firm in writing and signed.
    (2) Implicate a substance that caused the stated significant adverse

person, such as an employee of the firm, individual consumer, a neighbor 
of the firm's plant, another firm on behalf of its employees or an 
organization on behalf of its members.
    (d) EPA intends that firms should, to the maximum practical extent, 
provide allegers with information regarding the ultimate disposition of

Sec. 717.15  Recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) Establishment and location of records. A firm subject to this 
part shall establish and maintain records of significant adverse 
reactions alleged to have been caused by chemical substances or mixtures 
manufactured or processed by the firm. Such records shall be kept at the 
firm's headquarters or at any other appropriate location central to the 
firm's chemical operations.
    (b) Content of records. The record shall consist of the following:
    (1) The original allegation as received.
    (2) An abstract of the allegation and other pertinent information as 
follows:
    (i) The name and address of the plant site which received the 
allegation.

[[Page 93]]

    (ii) The date the allegation was received at that site.
    (iii) The implicated substance, mixture, article, company process or 
operation, or site discharge.
    (iv) A description of the alleger (e.g., ``company employee,'' 
``individual consumer,'' ``plant neighbor''). If the allegation involves 
a health effect, the sex and year of birth of the individual should be 
recorded, if ascertainable.
    (v) A description of the alleged health effect(s). The description 
must relate how the effect(s) became known and the route of exposure, if 
explained in the allegation.
    (vi) A description of the nature of the alleged environmental 
effect(s), identifying the affected plant and/or animal species, or 
contaminated portion of the physical environment.
    (3) The results of any self-initiated investigation with respect to 
an allegation. (EPA does not require persons subject to this part to 
investigate allegations received, and no provision of this part shall be 
construed to imply that EPA recommends, encourages or requires such 
investigation.)
    (4) Copies of any further required records or reports relating to 
the allegation. For example, if an employee allegation results in a 
requirement for the firm to record the case on Occupational Safety and 
Health Form 101 or appropriate substitute (see 29 CFR part 1904 for 
requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970), a 
copy of that OSHA record must be included in the allegation record.
    (c) File structure. Records must be retrievable by the alleged cause 
of the significant adverse reaction, which cause may be one of the 
following:
    (1) A specific chemical identity.
    (2) A mixture.
    (3) An article.
    (4) A company process or operation.

    (d) Retention period. Records of significant adverse reactions to 
the health of employees shall be retained for a period of 30 years from 
the date such reactions were first reported to or known by the person 
maintaining such records. This provision requires persons subject to 
this part to retain for 30 years an employee health related allegation, 
arising from any employment related exposure, whether or not such 
allegation was submitted by or on the behalf of that recordkeeper's own 
employee. Any other record of significant adverse reactions shall be 
maintained for a period of five years from the date the information 
contained in the record was first reported to or known by the person 
maintaining the record.
    (e) Transfer of records. (1) If a firm ceases to do business, the 
successor must receive and keep all the records that must be kept under 
this part.
    (2) If a firm ceases to do business and there is no successor to 
receive and keep the records for the prescribed period, these records 
must be transmitted to EPA. See Sec. 717.17(c) for the address to which 
such records must be sent.
[48 FR 38187, Aug. 22, 1983, as amended at 49 FR 23183, June 5, 1984; 58 
FR 34204, June 23, 1993]

inspection by any duly designated representative of the Administrator.
    (b) Reporting. Each person who is required to keep records under 
this part must submit copies of those records to the Agency as required 
by the EPA Administrator or appropriate designee. EPA will notify those 
responsible for reporting by letter or will announce any such 
requirements for submitting copies of records by a notice in the Federal 
Register. Such letter or notice will be signed by the Administrator or 
appropriate designee, and will specify which records or portion of 
records must be submitted. The reporting period will be specified by the 
letter or notice but in no case will such reporting period be less than 
45 days from the date of the letter or the effective date of the notice.
    (c) How to report. When required to report, firms must submit copies 
of records (preferably by certified mail) to the Document Control Office 
(7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW.,

Sec. 717.19  Confidentiality.

    (a) Any person submitting copies of records may assert a business 
confidentiality claim covering all or part of the submitted information. 
Any information covered by a claim will be disclosed by EPA only as 
provided in procedures set forth at part 2 of this title.
    (b) If no claim accompanies a document at the time it is submitted 
to EPA, the document will be placed in an open file available to the 
public without further notice to the respondent.
    (c) To asset a claim of confidentiality for information contained in 
a submitted record, the respondent must submit two copies of the 
document.
    (1) One copy must be complete. In that copy, the respondent must 
indicate what information, if any, is claimed as confidential by marking 
the specific information on each page with a label such as 
``confidential'', ``proprietary'', or ``trade secret'' and briefly state 
the basis of the claim.
    (2) If some information is claimed as confidential, the respondent 
must submit a second copy of the record. The second copy must be 
complete, except that all information claimed as confidential in the 
first copy must be deleted.
    (3) The first copy will be for internal use by EPA. The second copy 
will be placed in an open file to be available to the public.
    (4) Failure to furnish a second copy when information is claimed as 
confidential in the first copy will be considered a presumptive waiver 
of the claim of confidentiality. EPA will notify the respondent by 
certified mail that a finding of a presumptive waiver of the claim of 
confidentiality has been made. The respondent will be given 30 days from 
the date of receipt of notification to submit the required second copy. 
If the respondent fails to submit the second copy within the 30 days, 
EPA will place the first copy in the public file.

identity is confidential, it is listed in the public portion of the 
Inventory by a TSCA Accession Number and a generic chemical name that 
masks the specific substance identity. The confidential substance is 
listed by its specific chemical name only in the confidential portion of 
the Inventory, which is not available to the public. A person who 
intends to manufacture or import a chemical substance not listed by 
specific chemical name in the public portion of the Inventory may ask 
EPA whether the substance is included in the confidential Inventory. EPA 
will answer such an inquiry only if EPA determines that the person has a 
bona fide intent to manufacture or import the chemical substance for 
commercial purposes.
    (2) To establish a bona fide intent to manufacture or import a 
chemical substance, the person who proposes to manufacture or import the 
substance must submit to EPA:
    (i) Except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3) (i) and (ii) of this 
section, the specific chemical identity of the substance that the person 
intends to manufacture or import, using the currently, correct CA name 
for the substance and the other correct chemical identity information in 
accordance with Secs. 720.45(a) (1), (2), and (3).
    (ii) A signed statement that the person intends to manufacture or 
import that chemical substance for commercial purposes.
    (iii)(A) A brief description of the research and development 
activities conducted to date related to the substance, including the 
year in which the person first started to conduct research or 
development activity on the substance, and the general types of research 
and development activities conducted thus far (e.g., synthesis, 
substance isolation/purification, formulating, product development, 
process development, end-use application, toxicity testing, etc.). The 
person must also indicate whether any pilot plant or production-scale 
plant evaluations have been conducted involving the manufacture or 
processing of the substance.
    (B) If an importer is unable to provide the information requested in 
paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(A) of this section from the foreign manufacturer 
or supplier, the following information shall be submitted:

[[Page 100]]

    (1) A brief statement indicating how long the substance has been in 
commercial use outside of the United States.
    (2) The name of a country in which it has been commercially used.
    (3) Whether the importer believes that the substance has already 
been used commercially, in any country, for the same purpose or 
application that the importer is intending.
    (iv) A specific description of the major intended application or use 
of the substance.
    (v) An infrared spectrum of the substance, or alternative spectra or 
other data which identify the substance if infrared analysis is not 
suitable for the substance or does not yield a reasonable amount of 
structural information. When using alternative spectra or instrumental 
analysis, the person must submit a spectrum or instrumental readout for 
the substance.
    (vi) The estimated date (month/year) in which the person intends to 
submit a Premanufacture Notice (PMN) for this substance if EPA informs 
the notice submitter that the substance is not on the Inventory.
    (vii) The address of the facility under the control of the submitter 
at which the manufacture or processing of the substance would most 
likely occur. For an imported substance, the facility under the control 
of the importer at which processing of the substance would likely occur, 
if any.
    (viii)(A) For substances intended to be manufactured in the United 
States, a description of the most probable manufacturing process that 
would be used by the submitter to produce the substance for non-exempt 
commercial purposes.
    (B) For substances intended to be imported, a brief description of 
how the submitter is most likely to process or use the substance for a 
commercial purpose. If the substance is not expected to be processed or 
used at any facility under the importer's control, a statement to this 
effect must be included along with a description of how the substance 
will be processed or used at sites controlled by others, if this 
information is known or reasonably ascertainable.
    (3)(i) If an importer cannot provide the chemical identity 
information required by paragraph (b)(2) (i) and (v) of this section 
because it is claimed confidential by its foreign manufacturer or 
supplier, the foreign manufacturer or supplier must supply the required 
information directly to EPA in accordance with Sec. 720.45(a) (1), (2), 
and (3) and reference the importer's notice. If the appropriate 
supporting document from the foreign party is not received within 30 
days after EPA receives the importer's notice, the notice will be 
considered incomplete.
    (ii) If a manufacturer cannot provide all of the required 
information in accordance with Sec. 720.45(a) (1), (2), and (3) because 
the new chemical substance is manufactured using a reactant that has a 
specific chemical identity claimed as confidential by its supplier, the 
notice must contain chemical identity information that is as complete as 
known by the manufacturer. In addition, a letter of support for the 
notice must then be sent to EPA by the chemical supplier of the 
confidential reactant, providing the specific chemical identity of the 
proprietary reactant. The letter of support must reference the 
manufacturer's notice. If the appropriate supporting document from the 
supplier is not received within 30 days after EPA receives the 
manufacturer's notice, the notice will be considered incomplete.
    (4) EPA will review the information submitted by the proposed 
manufacturer or importer under this paragraph to determine whether it 
has a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the chemical substance. 
If necessary, EPA will compare this information either to the 
information requested for the confidential chemical substance under 
Sec. 710.7(e)(2)(v) of this chapter or the information requested under 
Sec. 720.85(b)(3)(iii).
    (5) If the proposed manufacturer or importer has shown a bona fide 
intent to manufacture or import the substance, and provide sufficient 
unambiguous chemical identity information so

[[Page 101]]

EPA can make a conclusive determination of the chemical substance's 
Inventory status, EPA will search the confidential Inventory and inform 
the proposed manufacturer or importer whether the chemical substance is 
on the confidential Inventory.
    (6) If the chemical substance is found on the confidential 
Inventory, EPA will notify the person(s) who originally reported the 
chemical substance that another person has demonstrated a bona fide 
intent to manufacture or import the substance and therefore was told 
that the chemical substance is on the Inventory.
    (7) A disclosure of a confidential chemical identity to a person 
with a bona fide intent to manufacture or import the particular chemical 
substance will not be considered a public disclosure of confidential 
business information under section 14 of the Act.
    (8) EPA will answer an inquiry on whether a particular chemical 
substance is on the confidential Inventory within 30 days after receipt 
of a complete submission under paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (9) If the required chemical identity information has not been 
reported correctly or completely in the notice (except as provided under 
paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this section) or if any other required data or 
information has been omitted or is incomplete, EPA will consider the 
whole notice to be incomplete. As soon as an incomplete notice is 
identified as such by EPA, the Agency will immediately return the notice 
directly to the submitter. The submitter must then resubmit the whole, 
completed bona fide notice to EPA in order to have the Agency perform 
the desired Inventory search and respond to the notice.

substance. The notification must be made in accordance with paragraph 
(c) of this section.
    (3) The chemical substance is used by, or directly under the 
supervision of, a technically qualified individual.
    (b)(1) To determine whether notification under paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section is required, the manufacturer or importer must review and 
evaluate the following information to determine whether there is reason 
to believe there is any potential risk to health which may be associated 
with the chemical substance:
    (i) Information in its possession or control concerning any 
significant adverse reaction by persons exposed to the chemical 
substance which may reasonably be associated with such exposure.
    (ii) Information provided to the manufacturer or importer by a 
supplier or any other person concerning a health risk believed to be 
associated with the substance.
    (iii) Health and environmental effects data in its possession or 
control concerning the substance.

[[Page 103]]

    (iv) Information on health effects which accompanies any EPA rule or 
order issued under sections 4, 5, or 6 of the Act that applies to the 
substance and of which the manufacturer or importer has knowledge.
    (2) When the research and development activity is conducted solely 
in a laboratory and exposure to the chemical substance is controlled 
through the implementation of prudent laboratory practices for handling 
chemical substances of unknown toxicity, and any distribution, except 
for purposes of disposal, is to other such laboratories for further 
research and development activity, the information specified in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section need not be reviewed and evaluated. 
(For purposes of this paragraph, a laboratory is a contained research 
facility where relatively small quantities of chemical substances are 
used on a non-production basis, and where activities involve the use of 
containers for reactions, transfers, and other handling of substances 
designed to be easily manipulated by a single individual.)
    (c)(1) The manufacturer or importer must notify the persons 
identified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section by means of a container 
labeling system, conspicuous placement of notices in areas where 
exposure may occur, written notification to each person potentially 
exposed, or any other method of notification which adequately informs 
persons of health risks which the manufacturer or importer has reason to 
believe may be associated with the substance, as determined under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (2) If the manufacturer or importer distributes a chemical substance 
manufactured or imported under this section to persons not in its 
employ, the manufacturer or importer must in written form:
    (i) Notify those persons that the substance is to be used only for 
research and development purposes.
    (ii) Provide the notice of health risks specified in paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section.
    (3) The adequacy of any notification under this section is the 
responsibility of the manufacturer or importer.
    (d) A chemical substance is not exempt from reporting under this 
part if any amount of the substance, including as part of a mixture, is 
processed, distributed in commerce, or used, for any commercial purpose 
other than research and development, except where the chemical substance 
is processed, distributed in commerce, or used only as an impurity or as 
part of an article.
    (e) Quantities of the chemical substance, or of mixtures or articles 
containing the chemical substance, remaining after completion of 
research and development activities may be:
    (1) Disposed of as a waste in accordance with applicable Federal, 
state, and local regulations, or
    (2) Used for the following commercial purposes:
    (i) Burning it as a fuel.
    (ii) Reacting or otherwise processing it to form other chemical 
substances for commercial purposes, including extracting component 
chemical substances.
    (f) Quantities of research and development substances existing 
solely as impurities in a product or incorporated into an article, in 
accordance with paragraph (d) of this section, and quantities of 
research and development substances used solely for commercial purposes 
listed in paragraph (e) of this section, are not subject to the 
requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section, once 
research and development activities have been completed.
    (g) A person who manufactures or imports a chemical substance in 
small quantities solely for research and development is not required to 
comply with the requirements of this section if the person's exclusive 
intention is to perform research and development activities solely for 
the purpose of determining whether the substance can be used as a 
pesticide.

FR 16309, Mar. 29, 1995]



Sec. 720.45  Information that must be included in the notice form.

    Each person who submits a notice must include the information 
specified in the notice form to the extent it is known to or reasonably 
ascertainable by the submitter. However, no person is required to 
include information which relates solely to exposure of human or 
ecological populations outside of the United States. The notice form 
requires the following information relating to the manufacture, 
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the new 
chemical substance:
    (a)(1) The specific chemical identity of the substance that the 
person intends to manufacture or import, which includes the following:
    (i) The currently correct Chemical Abstracts (CA) name for the 
substance, based on the Ninth Collective Index (9CI) of CA nomenclature 
rules and conventions, and consistent with listings for similar 
substances in the Inventory. For each substance having a chemical 
composition that can be represented by a specific, complete chemical 
structure diagram (a Class 1 substance), a CA Index Name must be 
provided. For each chemical substance that cannot be fully represented 
by a complete, specific chemical structure diagram (a Class 2 
substance), or if the substance is a polymer, a CA Index Name or CA 
Preferred Name must be provided (whichever is appropriate based on CA 
9CI nomenclature rules and conventions). In addition, for a Class 2 
substance, the notice must identify the immediate chemical precursors 
and reactants by specific chemical name and Chemical Abstracts Service 
Registry Number (CASRN), if the number is available. Tradenames or 
generic names of chemical precursors or reactants are not acceptable as 
substitutes for specific chemical names.
    (ii) The currently correct CASRN for the substance if a CASRN 
already exists for the substance.
    (iii) For a Class 1 substance and for any Class 2 substance for 
which a definite molecular formula is known or reasonably ascertainable, 
the correct molecular formula.
    (iv) For a Class 1 substance, a complete, correct chemical structure 
diagram; for a Class 2 substance or polymer, a correct representative or 
partial chemical structure diagram, as complete as can be known, if one 
can be reasonably ascertained.
    (2) For a polymer, the submitter must also report the following:
    (i) The specific chemical name and CASRN, if the number is 
available, of each monomer and other reactant used, at any weight 
percent, to manufacture the polymer. Tradenames or generic names of 
chemical reactants or monomers are not acceptable as substitutes for 
specific chemical names.
    (ii) The typical percent by weight of each monomer and other 
reactant in the polymer (weight of the monomer or other reactant 
expressed as a percentage of the weight of the polymeric chemical 
substance manufactured), and the maximum residual amount of each monomer 
present in the polymer.
    (iii) For monomers and other reactants used at 2 weight percent or 
less (based on the dry weight of the polymer manufactured), indicate on 
the PMN form any such monomers and other reactants that should be 
included as part of the polymer description on the Inventory, where the 
weight percent is based on either (A) the weight of monomer or other 
reactant actually charged to the reaction vessel, or (B) the minimum 
weight of monomer or other reactant required in theory to account for 
the actual weight of monomer or other reactant molecules or fragments 
chemically incorporated (chemically combined) in the polymeric substance 
manufactured.
    (iv) For a determination that 2 weight percent or less of a monomer 
or other reactant is incorporated (chemically combined) in a polymeric 
substance manufactured, as specified in paragraphs (a)(2)(iii)(B) of 
this section,

[[Page 107]]

analytical data or appropriate theoretical calculations (if it can be 
documented that analytical measurement is not feasible or not necessary) 
to support this determination must be maintained at the site of 
manufacture or import of the polymer.
    (v) Measured or estimated values of the minimum number-average 
molecular weight of the polymer and the amount of low molecular weight 
species below 500 and below 1,000 molecular weight, with a description 
of how the measured or estimated values were obtained.

                    Subpart D--Disposition of Notices



Sec. 720.60  General.

    This subpart establishes procedures that EPA will follow in 
reviewing notices.



Sec. 720.62  Notice that notification is not required.

    When EPA receives a notice, EPA will review it to determine whether 
the

[[Page 110]]

chemical substance is subject to the requirements of this part. If EPA 
determines that the chemical substance is not subject to these 
requirements, EPA will notify the submitter that section 5 of the Act 
does not prevent the manufacture or import of the substance and that the 
submission is not a notice under this part.
[48 FR 21742, May 13, 1983, as amended at 58 FR 34204, June 23, 1993]



Sec. 720.65  Acknowledgment of receipt of a notice; errors in the notice; incomplete submissions; false and misleading statements.

    (a) Notification to submitter. EPA will acknowledge receipt of each 
notice by sending the submitter a letter that identifies the 
premanufacture notice number assigned to the new chemical substance and 
the date on which the review period begins. The review period will begin 
on the date the notice is received by the Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics Document Control Officer. The acknowledgment does not 
constitute a finding by EPA that the notice, as submitted, is in 
compliance with this part.
    (b) Errors in the notice. (1) Within 30 days of receipt of the 
notice, EPA may request that the submitter remedy errors in the notice. 
The following are examples of such errors:
    (i) Failure to date the notice form.
    (ii) Typographical errors that cause data to be misleading or 
answers to any questions to be unclear.
    (iii) Contradictory information.
    (iv) Ambiguous statements or information.
    (2) In the request to correct the notice, EPA will explain the 
action which the submitter must take to correct the notice.
    (3) If the submitter fails to correct the notice within 15 days of 
receipt of the request, EPA may extend the notice period under section 
(5)(c) of the Act, in accordance with Sec. 720.75(c).
    (c) Incomplete submissions. (1) A submission is not complete, and 
the notification period does not begin, if:
    (i) The wrong person submits the notice form.
    (ii) The submitter does not sign the notice form.
    (iii) Some or all of the information in the notice or the 
attachments are not in English, except for published scientific 
literature.
    (iv) The submitter does not use the notice form.
    (v) The submitter does not provide information that is required by 
section 5(d)(1) (B) and (C) of the Act and Sec. 720.50.
    (vi) The submitter does not provide information required on the 
notice form and by Sec. 720.45 or indicate that it is not known to or 
reasonably ascertainable by the submitter.
    (vii) The submitter does not submit a second copy of the submission 
with all confidential information deleted for the public file, as 
required by Sec. 720.80(b)(2).
    (viii) The submitter does not include any information required by 
section 5(b)(1) of the Act and pursuant to a rule promulgated under 
section 4 of the Act, as required by Sec. 720.40(g).
    (ix) The submitter does not submit data which the submitter believes 
show that the chemical substance will not present an unreasonable risk 
of injury to health or the environment, if EPA has listed the chemical 
substance under section 5(b)(4) of the Act, as required in 
Sec. 720.40(h).
    (2)(i) If EPA receives an incomplete submission, the Director, or 
his or her delegate, will notify the submitter within 30 days of receipt 
that the submission is incomplete and that the notice review period will 
not begin until EPA receives a complete notice.
    (ii) If EPA obtains additional information during the notice review 
period that indicates the original submission was incomplete, the 
Director, or his or her delegate, may declare the submission incomplete 
within 30 days after EPA obtains the additional information and so 
notify the submitter.
    (3) The notification that a submission is incomplete under paragraph 
(c)(2) (i) or (ii) of this section will include:
    (i) A statement of the basis of EPA's determination that the 
submission is incomplete.
    (ii) The requirements for correcting the incomplete submission.

[[Page 111]]

    (iii) Information on procedures under paragraph (c)(4) of this 
section for filing objections to the determination or requesting 
modification of the requirements for completing the submission.
    (4) Within ten days after receipt of notification by EPA that a 
submission is incomplete, the submitter may file written objections 
requesting that EPA accept the submission as a complete notice or modify 
the requirements necessary to complete the submission.
    (5)(i) EPA will consider the objections filed by the submitter. The 
Director, or his or her delegate, will determine whether the submission 
was complete or incomplete, or whether to modify the requirements for 
completing the submission. EPA will notify the submitter in writing of 
EPA's response within ten days of receiving the objections.
    (ii) If the Director, or his or her delegate, determines, in 
response to the objection, that the submission was complete, the notice 
review period will be deemed suspended on the date EPA declared the 
notice incomplete, and will resume on the date that the notice is 
declared complete. The submitter need not correct the notice as EPA 
originally requested. If EPA can complete its review within 90 days from 
the date of the original submission, the Director, or his or her 
delegate, may inform the submitter that the running of the review period 
will resume on the date EPA originally declared it incomplete.
    (iii) If the Director, or his or her delegate, modifies the 
requirements for completing the submission or concurs with EPA's 
original determination, the notice review period will begin when EPA 
receives a complete notice.
    (d) Materially false or misleading statements. If EPA discovers at 
any time that person submitted materially false or misleading statements 
in the notice, EPA may find that the notice was incomplete from the date 
it was submitted, and take any other appropriate action.



Sec. 720.70  Notice in the Federal Register.

    (a) Filing of Federal Register notice. In accordance with section 
5(d)(2) of the Act, after EPA receives a notice, EPA will file with the 
Office of the Federal Register a notice including the information 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Contents of notice. (1) In the public interest, the specific 
chemical identity listed in the notice will be published in the Federal 
Register unless the submitter has claimed chemical identity 
confidential. If the submitter claims confidentiality, a generic name 
will be published in accordance with Sec. 720.85(a)(3).
    (2) The categories of use of the new chemical substance will be 
published as reported in the notice unless this information is claimed 
confidential. If confidentiality is claimed, the generic information 
which is submitted under Sec. 720.87(b) will be published.
    (3) A list of data submitted in accordance with Sec. 720.50(a) will 
be published. In addition, for test data submitted in accordance with 
Sec. 720.40(g), a summary of the data will be published.
    (4) The submitter's identity will be published, unless the submitter 
has claimed it confidential.



Sec. 720.75  Notice review period.

    (a) Length of notice review period. The notice review period 
specified in section 5(a) of the Act runs for 90 days from the date the 
Document Control Officer for the Office of Pollution Prevention and 
Toxics receives a complete notice, or the date EPA determines the notice 
is complete under Sec. 720.65(c), unless the Agency extends the period 
under section 5(c) of TSCA and paragraph (c) of this section.
    (b) Suspension of the running of the notice review period. (1) A 
submitter may voluntarily suspend the running of the notice review 
period if the Director or his or her delegate agrees. If the Director 
does not agree, the review period will continue to run, and EPA will 
notify the submitter. A submitter may request a suspension at any time 
during the notice review period. The suspension must be for a specified 
period of time.
    (2) A request for suspension may be made in writing to the Document 
Control Office (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC., 20460. The suspension also may be made orally, including by 
telephone, to the

[[Page 112]]

submitter's EPA contact for that notice. EPA will send the submitter a 
written confirmation that the suspension has been granted.
    (i) An oral request may be granted for 15 days only. To obtain a 
longer suspension, the Document Control Officer for the Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics must receive written confirmation of the 
oral request. The notice review period is suspended as of the date of 
the oral request.
    (ii) If the submitter has not made a previous oral request, the 
running of the notice review period is suspended as of the date of 
receipt of the written request by the Document Control Officer for the 
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
    (c) Extension of notice review period. (1) At any time during the 
notice review period, EPA may determine that good cause exists to extend 
the notice review period specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (2) If EPA makes such a determination, EPA will:
    (i) Notify the submitter that EPA is extending the notice review 
period for a specified length of time, and state the reasons for the 
extension.
    (ii) Issue a notice for publication in the Federal Register which 
states that EPA is extending the notice review period and gives the 
reasons for the extension.
    (3) The initial extension may be for a period of up to 90 days. If 
the initial extension is for less than 90 days, EPA may make additional 
extensions. However, the total period of extensions may not exceed 90 
days for any notice.
    (4) The following are examples of situations in which EPA may find 
that good cause exists for extending the notice review period:
    (i) EPA has reviewed the notice and determined that there is a 
significant possibility that the chemical substance will be regulated 
under section 5(e) or section 5(f) of the Act, but EPA is unable to 
initiate regulatory action within the initial 90-day period.
    (ii) EPA has reviewed the submission and is seeking additional 
information.
    (iii) EPA has received significant additional information during the 
notice review period.
    (iv) The submitter has failed to correct a notice after receiving 
EPA's request under Sec. 720.65(b).
    (d) Notice of expiration of notice review period. EPA will notify 
the submitter that the notice review period has expired or that EPA has 
completed its review of the notice. Expiration of the review period does 
not constitute EPA approval or certification of the new chemical 
substance, and does not mean that EPA may not take regulatory action 
against the substance in the future. After expiration of the statutory 
notice review period, in the absence of regulatory action by EPA under 
section 5(e), 5(f), or 6(a) of the Act, the submitter may manufacture or 
import the chemical substance even if the submitter has not received 
notice of expiration.
    (e) Withdrawal of a notice by the submitter. (1) A submitter may 
withdraw a notice during the notice review period. A statement of 
withdrawal must be made in writing to the Document Control Office 
(7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC., 20460. 
The withdrawal is effective upon receipt of the statement by the 
Document Control Officer.
    (2) If a manufacturer or importer which withdrew a notice later 
resubmits a notice for the same chemical substance, a new notice review 
period begins.

under this part may assert a claim of confidentiality for the chemical 
identity of the new chemical substance. This claim will apply only to 
the period prior to the commencement of manufacture or import for 
commercial purposes. A submitter may assert this claim only if the 
submitter believes that public disclosure prior to commencement of 
manufacture or import of the fact that anyone intends to manufacture or 
import the specific chemical substance for commercial purposes would 
reveal confidential business information.
    (ii) If the notice includes a health and safety study concerning the 
new chemical substance and if the claim for confidentiality with respect 
to the chemical identity is denied in accordance with Sec. 720.90(c), 
EPA will deny a claim asserted under this paragraph.
    (2) Any person who asserts a claim of confidentiality for chemical 
identity under this paragraph must provide one of the following items at 
the time the notice is submitted:
    (i) The generic name which was accepted by EPA in the prenotice 
consultation conducted under paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
    (ii) One generic name that is only as generic as necessary to 
protect the confidential chemical identity of the particular chemical 
substance. The name should reveal the specific chemical identity to the 
maximum extent possible. The generic name will be subject to EPA review 
and approval at the time a notice of commencement is submitted.
    (3)(i) Any person who intends to assert a claim of confidentiality 
for the chemical identity of a new chemical substance may seek a 
determination by EPA of an appropriate generic name for the substance 
before submitting a notice. For this purpose, the person should submit 
to EPA:
    (A) The chemical identity of the substance.
    (B) A proposed generic name(s) which in only as generic as necessary 
to protect the confidential chemical identity of the new chemical 
substance. The name(s) should reveal the chemical identity of the 
substance to the maximum extent possible.
    (ii) Within 30 days, EPA will inform the submitter either that one 
of the proposed generic names is adequate or that none is adequate and 
further consultation is necessary.
    (4) If a submitter claims chemical identity to be confidential under 
this paragraph, and if the submitter complies with paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section, EPA will issue for publication in the Federal Register 
notice described in Sec. 720.70 the generic name proposed by the 
submitter or one agreed upon by EPA and the submitter.
    (b) Claims applicable to the period after commencement of 
manufacture or import. (1) Any claim of confidentiality under paragraph 
(a) of this section is applicable only until the substance is 
manufactured or imported for commercial purposes and becomes eligible 
for inclusion on the Inventory. To maintain the confidential status of 
the chemical identity when the substance is added to the Inventory, a 
submitter must reassert the confidentiality claim and substantiate the 
claim in the notice of commencement of manufacture required uner 
Sec. 720.102. A submitter may not claim the chemical indentity 
confidential for the period after commencement of manufacture or import 
unless the submitter claimed the chemical identity confidential for the 
period prior to commencement of manufacture or import under paragraph 
(a) of this section.
    (2)(i) A person who believes that public disclosure of the fact that 
anyone manfactures or imports the new chemical substance for commercial 
purposes would reveal confidential business information may assert a 
claim of confidentiality under this paragraph.
    (ii) If the notice includes a health and safety study concerning the 
new chemical substance, and if the claim for confidentiality with 
respect to the

[[Page 115]]

chemical identity is denied in accordance with Sec. 720.90(c), EPA will 
deny a claim asserted under this paragraph.
    (3) Any person who asserts a confidentiality claim for chemical 
identity must:
    (i) Comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(3) of this section 
regarding submission of a generic name.
    (ii) Agree that EPA may disclose to a person with a bona fide intent 
to manufacture or import the chemical substance the fact that the 
particular chemical substance is included on the confidential Inventory 
for purposes of notification under section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Act.
    (iii) Have available for the particular chemical substance, and 
agree to furnish to EPA upon request:
    (A) An elemental analysis.
    (B) Either an X-ray diffraction pattern (for inorganic substances), 
a mass spectrum (for most other substances), or an infrared spectrum of 
the particular chemical substance, or if such data do not resolve 
uncertainties with respect to the identity of the chemical substance, 
additional or alternative spectra or other data to identify the chemical 
substance.
    (iv) Provide a detailed written substantiation of the claim, by 
answering the following questions:
    (A) What harmful effects to your competitive position, if any, do 
you think would result if EPA publishes on the Inventory the identity of 
the chemical substance? How could a competitor use such information 
given the fact that the identity of the substance otherwise would appear 
on the Inventory of chemical substances with no link between the 
substance and your company or industry? How substantial would the 
harmful effects of disclosure be? What is the casual relationship 
between the disclosure and the harmful effects?
    (B) For what period of time should confidential treatment be given? 
Until a specific date, the occurrence of a specific event, or 
permanently? Why?
    (C) Has the chemical substance been patented? If so, have you 
granted licenses to others with respect to the patent as it applies to 
the chemical substance? If the chemical substance has been patented and 
therefore disclosed through the patent, why should it be treated as 
confidential for purposes of the Inventory?
    (D) Has the identity of the chemical substance been kept 
confidential to the extent that your competitors do not know it is being 
manufactured on imported for a commercial purpose by anyone?
    (E) Is the fact that someone is manufacturing or importing this 
chemical substance for commercial purposes available to the public, 
e.g., in technical journals or other publications; in libraries; or in 
State, local, or Federal agency public files?
    (F) What measures have you taken to prevent undesired disclosure of 
the fact that you are manufacturing or importing this substance for a 
commercial purpose?
    (G) To what extent has the fact that you are manufacturing or 
importing this chemical substance for a commercial purpose been 
disclosed to others? What precautions have you taken in regard to these 
disclosures? Has this information been disclosed to the public or to 
competitors?
    (H) In what form does this particular chemical substance leave the 
site of manufacture, e.g., as part of a product; in an effluent or 
emission stream? If so, what measures have you taken to guard against 
discovery of its identity?
    (I) If the chemical substance leaves the site of manufacture in a 
product that is available to either the public or your competitors, can 
they identify the substance by analyzing the product?
    (J) For what purpose do you manufacture or import the substance?
    (K) Has EPA, another Federal agency, or any Federal court made any 
pertinent confidentiality determinations regarding this chemical 
substance? If so, copies of such determinations must be included in the 
substantiation.
    (L) If the notice includes a health and safety study concerning the 
new chemical substance, the submitter must also answer the questions in 
Sec. 720.90(b)(2).
    (4) If the submitter does not meet the requirements of this 
paragraph, EPA will deny the claim of confidentiality.
    (5)(i) EPA will publish a generic name on the public Inventory if:

[[Page 116]]

    (A) The submitter asserts a claim of confidentiality in accordance 
with this paragraph.
    (B) No claim for confidentiality of the specific chemical identity 
as part of a health and safety study has been denied in accordance with 
part 2 of this title or Sec. 720.90.
    (ii) Publication of a generic name on the public Inventory does not 
create a category for purposes of the Inventory. Any person who has a 
bona fide intent to manufacture or import a chemical substance which is 
described by a generic name on the public Inventory may submit an 
inquiry to EPA under Sec. 720.25(b) to determine whether the particular 
chemical substance is included on the confidential Inventory.
    (iii) Upon receipt of a request described in Sec. 720.25(b), EPA may 
require the submitter which originally asserted confidentiality for a 
chemical substance to submit to EPA the information listed in paragraph 
(b)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (iv) Failure to submit any of the information required under 
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section within ten days of a request by 
EPA under this paragraph is a waiver of the original submitter's 
confidentiality claim. In this event, EPA may place the specific 
chemical identity on the public Inventory without further notice to the 
original submitter.
    (6) If a submitter asserts a claim of confidentiality under this 
paragraph, EPA will examine the generic chemical name proposed by the 
submitter.
    (i) If EPA determines that the generic name proposed by the 
submitter is only as generic as necessary to protect the confidential 
identity of the particular chemical substance, EPA will place that 
generic name on the public Inventory.
    (ii) If EPA determines that the generic name proposed by the 
submitter is more generic than necessary to protect the confidential 
identity, EPA will propose in writing, for review by the submitter, an 
alternative generic name that will reveal the chemical identity of the 
chemical substance to the maximum extent possible.
    (iii) If the generic name proposed by EPA is acceptable to the 
submitter, EPA will place that generic name on the public Inventory.
    (iv) If the generic name proposed by EPA is not acceptable to the 
submitter, the submitter must explain in detail why disclosure of that 
generic name would reveal confidential business information and propose 
another generic name which is only as generic as necessary to protect 
the confidential identity. If EPA does not receive a response from the 
submitter within 30 days after the submitter receives the proposed name, 
EPA will place EPA's chosen generic name on the public Inventory. If the 
submitter does provide the information requested, EPA will review the 
response. If the submitter's proposed generic name is acceptable, EPA 
will publish that generic name on the public Inventory. If the 
submitter's proposed generic name is not acceptable, EPA will notify the 
submitter of EPA's choice of a generic name. Thirty days after this 
notification, EPA will place the chosen generic name on the public 
Inventory.



Sec. 720.87  Categories or proposed categories of uses of a new chemical substance.

    (a) A person who submits information to EPA under this part on the 
categories or proposed categories of use of a new chemical substance may 
assert a claim of confidentiality for this information.
    (b) A submitter that asserts such a claim must:
    (1) Report the categories or proposed categories of use of the 
chemical substance.
    (2) Provide, in nonconfidential form, a description of the uses that 
is only as generic as necessary to protect the confidential business 
information. The generic use description will be included in the Federal 
Register notice described in Sec. 720.70.
    (c) The person must submit the information required by paragraph (b) 
of this section in the manner specified in the notice form.



Sec. 720.90  Data from health and safety studies.

    (a) Information other than specific chemical identity. Except as 
provided in paragraph (b) of this section, EPA will

[[Page 117]]

deny any claim of confidentiality with respect to information included 
in a health and safety study, unless the information would disclose 
confidential business information concerning:
    (1) Processes used in the manufacture or processing of a chemical 
substance or mixture.
    (2) In the case of a mixture, the portion of the mixture comprised 
by any of the chemical substances in the mixture.
    (3) Information which is not in any way related to the effects of a 
substance on human health or the environment, such as the name of the 
submitting company, cost or other financial data, product development or 
marketing plans, and advertising plans, for which the person submits a 
claim of confidentiality in accordance with Sec. 720.80.
    (b) Specific chemical identity--(1) Claims applicable to period 
prior to commencement of manufacture. A claim of confidentiality for the 
period prior to commencement of manufacture or import for the chemical 
identity of a chemical substance for which a health and safety study was 
submitted must be asserted in conjunction with a claim asserted under 
Sec. 720.85(a).
    (2) Claims applicable to period after commencement of manufacture or 
import for commercial purposes. To maintain the confidential status of 
the chemical identity of a chemical substance for which a health and 
safety study was submitted after commencement of manufacture or import, 
the claim must be reasserted and substantiated in conjunction with a 
claim under Sec. 720.85(b). In addition to the questions set forth in 
Sec. 720.85(b)(3)(iv) of this part, the submitter must answer the 
following questions:
    (i) Would disclosure of the chemical identity disclose processes 
used in the manufacture or processing of a chemical substance or 
mixture? Describe how this would occur. In responding to the question in 
Sec. 720.85(b)(3)(iv)(A), explain what harmful competitive effects would 
occur from disclosure of this process information.
    (ii) Would disclosure of the chemical identity disclose the portion 
of a mixture comprised by any of the substances in the mixture? Describe 
how this would occur. In responding to the question in 
Sec. 720.85(b)(3)(iv)(A), explain what harmful competitive effects would 
occur from disclosure of this information.
    (iii) Do you assert that disclosure of the chemical identity is not 
necessary to interpret any of the health and safety studies you have 
submitted? If so, explain how a less specific identity would be 
sufficient to interpret the studies.
    (c) Denial of confidentiality claim. EPA will deny a claim of 
confidentiality for chemical identity under paragraph (b) of this 
section, unless:
    (1) The information would disclose processes used in the manufacture 
or processing of a chemical substance or mixture.
    (2) In the case of a mixture, the information would disclose the 
portion of the mixture comprised by any of the substances in the 
mixture.
    (3) The specific chemical identity is not necessary to interpret a 
health and safety study.
    (d) Use of generic names. When EPA discloses a health and safety 
study containing a specific chemical identity, which the submitter has 
claimed confidential, and if the Agency has not denied the claim under 
paragraph (c) of this section, EPA will identify the chemical substance 
by the generic name selected under Sec. 720.85.

knowledge that the person is engaging in a significant new use and is 
required to follow the procedures in Sec. 721.5(d).




Sec. 721.72  Hazard communication program.

    Whenever a substance is identified in subpart E of this part as 
being subject to this section, a significant new use of that substance 
is any manner or method of manufacture, import, or processing associated 
with any use of that substance without establishing a hazard 
communication program as described in this section.
    (a) Written hazard communication program. Each employer shall 
develop and implement a written hazard communication program for the 
substance in each workplace. The written program will, at a minimum, 
describe how the requirements of this section for labels, MSDSs, and 
other forms of warning material will be satisfied. The employer must 
make the written hazard communication program available, upon request, 
to all employees, contractor employees, and their designated 
representatives. The employer may rely on an existing hazard 
communication program, including an existing program established under 
the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) Hazard 
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1900.1200), to comply with this paragraph 
provided that the existing hazard communication program satisfies the 
requirements of this paragraph. The written program shall include the 
following:
    (1) A list of each substance identified in subpart E of this part as 
subject to this section known to be present in the work area. The list 
must be maintained in the work area and must use the identity provided 
on the appropriate MSDS for each substance required under paragraph (c) 
of this section. The list may be compiled for the workplace or for 
individual work areas.
    (2) The methods the employer will use to inform employees of the 
hazards of non-routine tasks involving the substance, for example, the 
cleaning of reactor vessels, and the hazards associated with the 
substance contained in unlabeled pipes in their work area.
    (3) The methods the employer will use to inform contractors of the 
presence of the substance in the employer's workplace and of the 
provisions of this part applicable to the substance if employees of the 
contractor work in the employer's workplace and are reasonably likely to 
be exposed to the substance while in the employer's workplace.
    (b) Labeling. (1) Each employer shall ensure that each container of 
the substance in the workplace is labeled in accordance with this 
paragraph (b)(1).
    (i) The label shall, at a minimum, contain the following 
information:
    (A) A statement of health hazard(s) and precautionary measure(s) for 
the substance, if any, identified in subpart E of this part or by the 
employer.
    (B) The identity by which the substance may be commonly recognized.
    (C) A statement of environmental hazard(s) and precautionary 
measure(s) for the substance, if any, identified in subpart E of this 
part or by the employer.

[[Page 140]]

    (D) A statement of exposure and precautionary measure(s), if any, 
identified in subpart E of this part or by the employer.
    (ii) The employer may use signs, placards, process sheets, batch 
tickets, operating procedures, or other such written materials in lieu 
of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers, as long 
as the alternative method identifies the containers to which it is 
applicable and conveys information specified by paragraph (b)(1)(i) of 
this section. Any written materials must be readily accessible to the 
employees in their work areas throughout each work shift.
    (iii) The employer need not label portable containers into which the 
substance is transferred from labeled containers, and which are intended 
only for the immediate use of the employee who performs the transfer.
    (iv) The employer shall not remove or deface an existing label on 
incoming containers of the substance unless the container is immediately 
relabeled with the information specified in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this 
section.
    (2) Each employer shall ensure that each container of the substance 
leaving its workplace for distribution in commerce is labeled in 
accordance with this paragraph.
    (i) The label shall, at a minimum, contain the following 
information:
    (A) The information required under paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this 
section.
    (B) The name and address of the manufacturer or a responsible party 
who can provide additional information on the substance for hazard 
evaluation and any appropriate emergency procedures.
    (ii) The label shall not conflict with the requirements of the 
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (18 U.S.C. 1801 et. seq.) and 
regulations issued under that Act by the Department of Transportation.
    (3) The label, or alternative forms of warning, shall be legible and 
prominently displayed.
    (4) The label, or alternative forms of warning, shall be in English; 
however, the information may be repeated in other languages.
    (5) If the label or alternative form of warning is to be applied to 
a mixture containing a substance identified in subpart E of this part as 
subject to this section in combination with another substance identified 
in subpart E of this part and/or a substance defined as a ``hazardous 
chemical'' under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1900.1200), the employer 
may prescribe on the label, MSDS, or alternative form of warning, the 
measures to control worker exposure or environmental release which the 
employer determines provide the greatest degree of protection. However, 
should these control measures differ from the applicable measures 
required under subpart E of this part, the employer must seek a 
determination of equivalency for such alternative control measures 
pursuant to Sec. 721.30 before prescribing them under this paragraph.
    (c) Material safety data sheets. (1) Each employer must obtain or 
develop a MSDS for the substance.
    (2) Each MSDS shall contain, at a minimum, the following 
information:

are expected to be aggravated by exposure to the substance known to the 
employer.
    (vi) The primary routes of exposure to the substance.
    (vii) Precautionary measures to control worker exposure and/or 
environmental release identified in subpart E of this part for the 
substance, or alternative control measures which EPA has determined 
under Sec. 721.30 provide

[[Page 141]]

substantially the same degree of protection as the identified control 
measures.
    (viii) Any generally applicable precautions for safe handling and 
use of the substance which are known to the employer, including 
appropriate hygienic practices, protective measures during repair and 
maintenance of contaminated equipment, and procedures for response to 
spills and leaks.
    (ix) Any generally applicable control measures which are known to 
the employer, such as appropriate engineering controls, work practices, 
or personal protective equipment.
    (x) Emergency first aid procedures known to the employer.
    (xi) The date of preparation of the MSDS or of its last revision.
    (xii) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual 
preparing or distributing the MSDS, or a responsible party who can 
provide additional information on the substance for hazard evaluation 
and any appropriate emergency procedures.
    (3) If no relevant information is found or known for any given 
category on the MSDS, the employer must mark the MSDS to indicate that 
no applicable information was found.
    (4) Where multiple mixtures containing the substance have similar 
compositions (i.e., the chemical ingredients are essentially the same, 
but the specific composition varies from mixture to mixture) and similar 
hazards, the employer may prepare one MSDS to apply to all of these 
multiple mixtures.
    (5) If the employer becomes aware of any significant new information 
regarding the hazards of the substance or ways to protect against the 
hazards, this new information must be added to the MSDS within 3 months 
from the time the employer becomes aware of the new information. If the 
substance is not currently being manufactured, imported, processed, or 
used in the employer's workplace, the employer must add the new 
information to the MSDS before the substance is reintroduced into the 
workplace.
    (6) The employer must ensure that persons receiving the substance 
from the employer are provided an appropriate MSDS with their initial 
shipment and with the first shipment after an MSDS is revised. The 
employer may either provide the MSDS with the shipped containers or send 
it to the person prior to or at the time of shipment.
    (7) The employer must maintain a copy of the MSDS in its workplace, 
and must ensure that it is readily accessible during each work shift to 
employees when they are in their work areas.
    (8) The MSDS may be kept in any form, including as operating 
procedures, and may be designed to cover groups of substances in a work 
area where it may be more appropriate to address the potential hazards 
of a process rather than individual substances. However, in all cases, 
the required information must be provided for each substance and must be 
readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in 
their work areas.
    (9) The MSDS must be printed in English; however, the information 
may be repeated in other languages.
    (d) Employee information and training. Each employer must ensure 
that employees are provided with information and training on the 
substance identified in subpart E of this part. This information and 
training must be provided at the time of each employee's initial 
assignment to a work area containing the substance and whenever the 
substance subject to this section is introduced into the employee's work 
area for the first time.
    (1) Information provided to employees under this paragraph shall 
include:
    (i) The requirements of this section.
    (ii) Any operations in the work area where the substance is present.
    (iii) The location and availability of the written hazard 
communication program required under paragraph (a) of this section, 
including the list of substances identified in subpart E of this part as 
subject to this section, and MSDSs required by paragraph (c) of this 
section.
    (2) Training provided to employees shall include:
    (i) Methods and observations that may be used to detect the presence 
or release of the substance in or from an employee's work area (such as 
monitoring conducted by the employer, continuous monitoring devices, 
visual

[[Page 142]]

appearance, or odor of the substance when being released).
    (ii) The potential human health and environmental hazards of the 
substance as specified in subpart E of this part.
    (iii) The measures employees can take to protect themselves and the 
environment from the substance, including specific procedures the 
employer has implemented to protect employees and the environment from 
exposure to the substance, including appropriate work practices, 
emergency procedures, personal protective equipment, engineering 
controls, and other measures to control worker exposure and/or 
environmental release required under subpart E of the part, or 
alternative control measures which EPA has determined under Sec. 721.30 
provide substantially the same degree of protection as the specified 
control measures.
    (iv) The requirements of the hazard communication program developed 
by the employer under this section, including an explanation of the 
labeling system and the MSDS required by this section and guidance on 
obtaining and using appropriate hazard information.
    (e) Low concentrations in mixtures. If a substance identified in 
subpart E of this part is present in the work area only as a mixture, an 
employer is exempt from the provisions of this section if the 
concentration of the substance in the mixture does not exceed a 
concentration set in subpart E of this part. The exemption does not 
apply if the employer has reason to believe that during intended use or 
processing in the work area, the substance in the mixture may be 
concentrated above the level set in subpart E of this part.
    (f) Existing hazard communication program. The employer need not 
take additional actions if existing programs and procedures satisfy the

                  day)
 


exceeds the level specified in subpart E of this part when calculated 
using the methods described in Sec. 721.91. In lieu of

[[Page 146]]

calculating the above quotient, monitoring or alternative calculations 
may be used to predict the surface water concentration which will result 
from the intended release of the substance, if the monitoring procedures 
or calculations have been approved for such purpose by EPA. EPA will 
review and act on written requests to approve monitoring procedures or 
alternative calculations within 90 days after such requests are 
received. EPA will inform submitters of the disposition of such requests 
in writing, and will explain the reasons therefor when they are denied.

    (3) Into the waters of the United States without primary wastewater 
treatment, and secondary wastewater treatment as defined in 40 CFR part 
133.
    (4) Into the waters of the United States if the quotient from:

 
 number of kilograms/day/site released
----------------------------------------
 receiving stream flow (million liters/    X  1000 = N parts per billion
                  day)
 


exceeds the level specified in subpart E of this part, when calculated 
using the methods described in Sec. 721.91. In lieu of calculating the 
above quotient, however, monitoring or alternative calculations may be 
used to predict the surface water concentration expected to result from 
intended release of the substance, if the monitoring procedures or 
calculations have been approved for such purpose by EPA. EPA will review 
and act on written requests to approve monitoring procedures or 
alternative calculations within 90 days after such requests are 
received. EPA will inform submitters of the disposition of such requests 
in writing, and will explain the reasons therefor when they are denied.



Sec. 721.91  Computation of estimated surface water concentrations: Instructions.

    These instructions describe the use of the equation specified in 
Sec. 721.90(a)(4) and (b)(4) to compute estimated surface water 
concentrations which will result from release of a substance identified 
in subpart E of this part. The equation shall be computed for each site 
using the stream flow rate appropriate for the site according to 
paragraph (b) of this section, and the highest number of kilograms 
calculated to be released for that site on a given day according to 
paragraph (a) of this section. Two variables shall be considered in 
computing the equation, the number of kilograms released, and receiving 
stream flow.
    (a) Number of kilograms released. (1) To calculate the number of 
kilograms of substance to be released from manufacturing, processing, or 
use operations, as specified in the numerator of the equation, develop a 
process description diagram which describes each manufacturing, 
processing, or use operation involving the substance. The process 
description must include the major unit operation steps and chemical 
conversions. A unit operation is a functional step in a manufacturing, 
processing, or use operation where substances undergo chemical changes 
and/or changes in location, temperature, pressure, physical state, or 
similar characteristics. Include steps in which the substance is 
formulated into mixtures, suspensions, solutions, etc.
    (2) Indicate on each diagram the entry point of all feedstocks 
(e.g., reactants, solvents, and catalysts) used

[[Page 147]]

in the operation. Identify each feedstock and specify its approximate 
weight regardless of whether the process is continuous or batch.
    (3) Identify all release points from which the substance or wastes 
containing the substance will be released into air, land, or water. 
Indicate these release points on the diagram. Do not include accidental 
releases or fugitive emissions.
    (4) For releases identified in the diagram that are destined for 
water, estimate the amount of substance that will be released before the 
substance enters control technology. The kilograms of substance released 
may be estimated based on:
    (i) The mass balance of the operation, i.e., totaling inputs and 
outputs, including wastes for each part of the process such that outputs 
equal inputs. The amount released to water may be the difference between 
the amount of the substance in the starting material (or formed in a 
reaction) minus the amount of waste material removed from each part of 
the process and not released to water and the amount of the substance in 
the final product.
    (ii) Physical properties such as water solubility where a known 
volume of water being discharged is assumed to contain the substance at 
concentrations equal to its solubility in water. This approach is 
particularly useful where the waste stream results from separation of 
organic/water phases or filtration of the substance from an aqueous 
stream to be discharged.
    (iii) Measurements of flow rates of the process/use stream and known 
concentrations of the substance in the stream.
    (5) After releases of a substance to water are estimated for each 
operation on a site, total the releases of the substance to water from 
all operations at that site. The value (number of kilograms) specified 
in the numerator of the equation should reflect total kilograms of 
substance released to water per day from all operations at a single 
site.
    (6) Use the highest expected daily release of the substance for each 
site.
    (b) Receiving stream flow. (1) The receiving stream flow shall be 
expressed in million liters per day (MLD). The flow rate data to be used 
must be for the point of release on the water body that first receives 
release of the substance whether by direct discharge from a site, or by 
indirect discharge through a Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW) for 
each site. The flow rate reported shall be the lowest 7-day average 
stream flow with a recurrence interval of 10 years (7-Q-10). If the 7-Q-
10 flow rate is not available for the actual point of release, the 
stream flow rate should be used from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 
gauging station that is nearest the point of release that is expected to 
have a flow rate less than or equal to the receiving stream flow at the 
point of release.
    (2) Receiving stream flow data may be available from the National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the site or 
the POTW releasing the substance to surface water, from the NPDES 
permit-writing authority for the site or the POTW, or from USGS 
publications, such as the water-data report series.
    (3) If receiving stream flow data are not available for a stream, 
either the value of 10 MLD or the daily flow of wastewater from the site 
or the POTW releasing the substance must be used as an assumed minimum 
stream flow. Similarly, if stream flow data are not available because 
the location of the point of release of the substance to surface water 
is a lake, estuary, bay, or ocean, then the flow rate to be used must be 
the daily flow of wastewater from the site or the POTW releasing the 
substance to surface water. Wastewater flow data may be available from 
the NPDES permit or NPDES authority for the site or the POTW releasing 
the substance to water.



                  Subpart C--Recordkeeping Requirements



Sec. 721.100  Applicability.

    This subpart C identifies certain additional recordkeeping

    (j) Records documenting compliance with any applicable disposal 
requirements under Sec. 721.85, including the method of disposal, 
location of disposal sites, dates of disposal, and volume of the 
substance disposed. Where the estimated disposal volume is not known to 
or reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer, importer, or processor, 
that person must maintain other records which demonstrate establishment 
and implementation of a program that ensures compliance with any 
applicable disposal requirements.
    (k) Records documenting establishment and implementation of 
procedures that ensure compliance with any applicable water discharge 
limitations under Sec. 721.90.

 Subpart D--Expedited Process for Issuing Significant New Use Rules for 
 Selected Chemical Substances and Limitation or Revocation of Selected 
                        Significant New Use Rules

    Source: 54 FR 31314, July 27, 1989, unless otherwise noted.




Sec. 721.160  Notification requirements for new chemical substances subject to section 5(e) orders.

    (a) Selection of substances. (1) In accordance with the expedited 
process specified in this section, EPA will issue significant new use 
notification requirements and other specific requirements for each new 
chemical substance that is the subject of a final order issued under 
section 5(e) of the Act, except for an order that prohibits manufacture 
and import of the substance, unless EPA determines that significant new 
use notification requirements are not needed for the substance.
    (2) If EPA determines that significant new use notification 
requirements are not needed for a substance that is subject to a final 
order issued under section 5(e) of the Act, except for an order that 
prohibits manufacture or import of the substance, EPA will issue

[[Page 149]]

a notice in the Federal Register explaining why the significant new use 
requirements are not needed.
    (b) Designation of requirements. (1) The significant new use 
notification and other specific requirements will be based on and be 
consistent with the provisions included in the final order issued for 
the substance under section 5(e) of the Act. EPA may also designate 
additional activities as significant new uses which will be subject to 
notification. Designation of additional activities as significant new 
uses will be done in accordance with the criteria and procedures under 
Sec. 721.170, or through a separate rulemaking proceeding.
    (2) Significant new use requirements and other specific requirements 
designated under this section will be listed in subpart E of this part. 
For each substance, subpart E will identify:
    (i) The chemical name.
    (ii) The activities designated as significant new uses.
    (iii) Other specific requirements applicable to the substance, 
including recordkeeping requirements or any other requirements included 
in the final section 5(e) order.
    (c) Procedures for issuing significant new use rules. (1) EPA will 
issue significant new use rules under this section by one of the 
following three processes: direct final rulemaking, interim final 
rulemaking, or notice and comment rulemaking. EPA will use the direct 
final rulemaking process to issue significant new use rules unless it 
determines that, in a particular case, one of the other processes is 
more appropriate.
    (2) Federal Register documents issued to propose or establish 
significant new uses under this section will contain the following:
    (i) The chemical identity of the substance or, if its specific 
identity is claimed confidential, an appropriate generic chemical name 
and an accession number assigned by EPA.
    (ii) The premanufacture notice number.
    (iii) The CAS number, where available and not claimed confidential.
    (iv) A summary of EPA's findings under section 5(e)(1)(A) of the Act 
for the final order issued under section 5(e).
    (v) Designation of the significant new uses subject to, or proposed 
to be subject to, notification and any other applicable requirements.
    (vi) Any modifications of subpart A of this part applicable to the 
specific substance and significant new uses.
    (vii) If the Federal Register document establishes a final rule, or 
notifies the public that a final rule will not be issued after public 
comment has been received, the document will describe comments received 
and EPA's response.
    (3) Direct final rulemaking. (i) When EPA uses the direct final 
rulemaking procedure to issue a significant new use rule, it will issue 
a final rule in the Federal Register following its decision to develop a 
significant new use rule under this section for a specific new chemical 
substance.
    (ii) The Federal Register document will state that, unless written 
notice is received by EPA within 30 days of publication that someone 
wishes to submit adverse or critical comments, the rule will be 
effective 60 days from the date of publication. The written notice of 
intent to submit adverse or critical comments should state which SNUR(s) 
will be the subject of the adverse or critical comments, if several 
SNURs are established through the direct final rule. If notice is 
received within 30 days that someone wishes to submit adverse or 
critical comments, the section(s) of the direct final rule containing 
the SNUR(s) for which a notice of intent to comment was received will be 
withdrawn by EPA issuing a document in the final rule section of the 
Federal Register, and a proposal will be published in the proposed rule 
section of the Federal Register. The proposal will establish a 30-day 
comment period.
    (iii) If EPA, having considered any timely comments submitted in 
response to the proposal, decides to establish notification requirements 
under this section, EPA will issue a final rule adding the substance to 
subpart E of this part and designating the significant new uses subject 
to notification.
    (4) Notice and comment rulemaking. (i) When EPA uses a notice and 
comment

[[Page 150]]

procedure to issue a significant new use rule, EPA will issue a proposal 
in the Federal Register following its decision to develop a significant 
new use rule under this section for a specific new chemical substance. 
Persons will be given 30 days to comment on whether EPA should establish 
notification requirements for the substance under this part.
    (ii) If EPA, having considered any timely comments, decides to 
establish notification requirements under this section, EPA will issue a 
final rule adding the substance to subpart E of this part and 
designating the significant new uses subject to notification.
    (5) Interim final rulemaking. (i) When EPA uses the interim final 
rulemaking procedure to issue a significant new use rule, EPA will issue 
an interim final rule in the final rule section of the Federal Register 
following its decision to develop a significant new use rule for a 
specific new chemical substance. The document will state EPA's reasons 
for using the interim final rulemaking procedure.
    (A) The significant new use rule will take effect on the date of 
publication.
    (B) Persons will be given 30 days from the date of publication to 
submit comments.
    (ii) Interim final rules issued under this section shall cease to be 
in effect 180 days after publication unless, within the 180-day period, 
EPA issues a final rule in the Federal Register responding to any 
written comments received during the 30-day comment period specified in 
paragraph (c)(5)(i)(B) of this section and promulgating final 
significant new use notification requirements and other requirements for 
the substance.
    (d) Schedule for issuing significant new use rules. (1) Unless EPA 
determines that a significant new use rule should not be issued under 
this section, EPA will issue a proposed rule, a direct final rule, or an 
interim final rule within 180 days of receipt of a valid notice of 
commencement under Sec. 720.102 of this chapter for any substance for 
which the notice of commencement was received on or after October 10, 
1989.
    (2) Unless EPA determines that a significant new use rule should not 
be issued under this section, EPA will issue a proposed rule, a direct 
final rule, or an interim final rule within 1 year of October 10, 1989, 
for any substance for which the valid notice of commencement under 
Sec. 720.102 of this chapter was received before October 10, 1989.
    (3) If EPA receives adverse or critical significant comments 
following publication of a proposed or interim final rule, EPA will 
either withdraw the rule or issue a final rule addressing the comments 
received.



Sec. 721.170  Notification requirements for selected new chemical substances that have completed premanufacture review.

    (a) Selection of substances. In accordance with the expedited 
process specified in this section, EPA may issue significant new use 
notification and recordkeeping requirements for any new chemical 
substance for which a premanufacture notice has been submitted under 
part 720 of this chapter if EPA determines that activities other than 
those described in the premanufacture notice may result in significant 
changes in human exposure or environmental release levels and/or that 
concern exists about the substance's health or environmental effects.
    (b) Concern criteria. EPA may determine that concern exists about a 
substance's health or environmental effects if EPA makes any one of the 
following findings:
    (1)(i) The substance may cause carcinogenic effects because the 
substance:
    (A) Has been shown by valid test data to cause carcinogenic effects 
in humans or in at least one species of laboratory animal.
    (B) Has been shown to be a possible carcinogen based on the weight 
of the evidence in short-term tests indicative of the potential to cause 
carcinogenic effects.
    (C) Is closely analogous, based on toxicologically relevant 
similarities in molecular structure and physical properties, to another 
substance that has been shown by test data to cause carcinogenic effects 
in humans or in at least one species of laboratory animal, provided that 
if there is more than one

[[Page 151]]

such analogue, the greatest weight will be given to the relevant data 
for the most appropriate analogues.
    (D) Is known or can reasonably be anticipated, based on valid 
scientific data or established scientific principles, to be metabolized

    (2) The substance has been shown by valid test data to cause acutely 
toxic effects in at least one species of laboratory animal or is closely 
analogous, based on toxicologically relevant similarities in molecular 
structure and physical properties, to another substance that has been 
shown by valid test data to cause acutely toxic effects in at least one 
species of laboratory animal, provided that if there is more than one 
such analogue, the greatest weight will be given to the relevant data 
for the most appropriate analogues.
    (3) The substance may cause serious chronic effects, serious acute 
effects, or developmentally toxic effects under reasonably anticipated 
conditions of exposure because the substance:
    (i) Has been shown by valid test data to cause serious chronic

[[Page 152]]

impurities or byproducts of the substance because the impurity or 
byproduct meets one or more of the criteria in paragraph (b) (1) through 
(4) of this section and either:
    (i) The impurity or byproduct is a new chemical substance and may be 
present in concentrations that could cause adverse health or 
environmental effects under reasonably anticipated conditions of 
exposure or release.
    (ii) Reasonably anticipated manufacture, processing, or use 
activities involving the substance for which a premanufacture notice has 
been submitted may result in significantly increased human exposure to 
or environmental release of the impurity or byproduct compared to 
exposure or release levels resulting from existing activities involving 
the impurity or byproduct.
    (c) Designation of requirements. (1) When EPA decides to establish 
significant new use reporting requirements under this section, EPA may 
designate as a significant new use any one or more of the activities set 
forth in subpart B of this part. In addition, EPA may designate specific 
recordkeeping requirements described under subpart C of this part that 
are applicable to the substance.
    (2) EPA may designate as a significant new use only those activities 
that (i) are different from those described in the premanufacture notice 
for the substance, including any amendments, deletions, and additions of 
activities to the premanufacture notice, and (ii) may be accompanied by 
changes in exposure or release levels that are significant in relation 
to the health or environmental concerns identified under paragraph (b) 
of this section.
    (d) Procedures for issuing significant new use rules. (1) 
Significant new use requirements designated under this section will be 
listed in subpart E of this part. For each substance, subpart E of this 
part will identify:
    (i) The chemical name.
    (ii) The activities designated as significant new uses, which may 
include one or more of the activities described in paragraph (c) of this 
section.
    (iii) Other specific requirements applicable to the substance.
    (2) When EPA determines that a substance is a candidate for a 
significant new use rule under this section, it will notify the person 
that submitted the premanufacture notice for the substance no later than 
7 calendar days before the expiration of the notice review period under 
Sec. 720.75 of this chapter. In providing this notice, EPA will describe 
the health or environmental concerns identified under paragraph (b) of 
this section and the activities under consideration for designation as 
significant new uses. Such notice may be by telephone, but in this event 
will be confirmed in writing no later than 30 days after completion of 
the notice review period.
    (3) Federal Register documents issued to propose or establish 
significant new uses under this section will contain the following:
    (i) The chemical identity of the substance or, if its specific 
identity is claimed confidential, an appropriate generic chemical name 
and an accession number assigned by EPA.
    (ii) The premanufacture notice number.
    (iii) The CAS number, where available and not claimed confidential.
    (iv) A summary of the basis for action under this section.
    (v) Designation of the significant new uses subject to, or proposed 
to be subject to, notification and any other applicable requirements.
    (vi) Any modifications of subpart A of this part applicable to the 
specific substance and significant new uses.
    (vii) If the Federal Register document establishes a final rule, or 
notifies the public that a final rule will not be issued after public 
comment has been received, the document will describe comments received 
and EPA's response.
    (4) EPA will issue significant new use rules under this section by 
one of the following three processes: direct final rulemaking, interim 
final rulemaking, or notice and comment rulemaking. EPA will use the 
direct final rulemaking process to issue significant new use rules 
unless it determines that, in a particular case, one of the other 
processes is more appropriate.

[[Page 153]]

    (i)(A) When EPA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure to issue 
a significant new use rule it will issue a direct final rule in the 
final rule section of the Federal Register following its decision to 
develop a significant new use rule under this section for a specific new 
chemical substance.
    (B) The Federal Register document will state that, unless written 
notice is received by EPA within 30 days after the date of publication 
that someone wishes to submit adverse or critical comments, the SNUR 
will be effective 60 days from date of publication. The written notice 
of intent to submit adverse or critical comments should state which 
SNUR(s) will be the subject of the adverse or critical comments, if 
several SNURs are established through the direct final rule. If notice 
is received within 30 days after the date of publication that someone 
wishes to submit adverse or critical comments, the section(s) of the 
direct final rule containing the SNUR(s) for which a notice of intent to 
comment was received will be withdrawn by EPA issuing a document in the 
final rule section of the Federal Register, and EPA will issue a 
proposed rule in the proposed rule section of the Federal Register. The 
proposed rule will establish a 30-day comment period.
    (C) If EPA, having considered any timely comments submitted in 
response to the proposal, decides to establish notification requirements 
under this section, EPA will issue a final rule adding the substance to 
subpart E of this part and designating the significant new uses subject 
to notification.
    (ii)(A) When EPA uses a notice and comment procedure to issue a 
significant new use rule, EPA will issue a proposed rule in the Federal 
Register following its decision to develop a significant new use rule 
under this section for a specific new chemical substance. Persons will 
be given 30 days to comment on whether EPA should establish notification 
requirements for the substance under this part.
    (B) If EPA, having considered any timely comments, decides to 
establish notification requirements under this section, EPA will issue a 
final rule adding the substance to subpart E of this part and 
designating the significant new uses subject to notification.
    (iii)(A) When EPA uses the interim final rulemaking procedure to 
issue a significant new use rule, EPA will issue an interim final rule 
in the final rule section of the Federal Register following its decision 
to develop a significant new use rule for a specific new chemical 
substance. The document will state EPA's reasons for using the interim 
final rulemaking procedure.
    (1) The significant new use rule will take effect on the date of 
publication.
    (2) Persons will be given 30 days from the date of publication to 
submit comments.
    (B) An interim final rule issued under this section shall cease to 
be in effect 180 days after publication unless, within the 180-day 
period, EPA issues a final rule in the Federal Register responding to 
any written comments received during the 30-day comment period specified 
in paragraph (d)(4)(iii)(A)(2) of this section and promulgating final 
significant new use notification requirements and other requirements for 
the substance.
    (e) Schedule for issuing significant new use rules. (1) EPA will 
issue a proposed rule, an interim final rule, or a direct final rule 
within 270 days of receipt of the notice of commencement under 
Sec. 720.102 of this chapter for any substance for which the notice of 
commencement was received on or after October 10, 1989.
    (2) If EPA receives adverse or critical comments within the 
designated comment period following publication of a proposed rule or an 
interim final rule, EPA will either withdraw the rule or issue a final 
rule addressing the comments received.

Sec. 721.185  Limitation or revocation of certain notification requirements.

    (a) Criteria for modification or revocation. EPA may at any time 
modify or revoke significant new use notification requirements for a 
chemical substance which has been added to subpart E of this part using 
the procedures under Sec. 721.160 or Sec. 721.170. Such action may be 
taken under this section if EPA makes one of the following 
determinations,

[[Page 154]]

unless other information shows that the requirements should be retained:
    (1) Test data or other information obtained by EPA provide a 
reasonable basis for concluding that activities designated as 
significant new uses of the substance will not present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to human health or the environment.
    (2) EPA has promulgated a rule under section 4 or 6 of the Act, or 
EPA or another agency has taken action under another law for the 
substance that eliminates the need for significant new use notification 
under section 5(a)(2) of the Act.
    (3) EPA has received significant new use notices for some or all of 
the activities designated as significant new uses of the substance and, 
after reviewing such notices, concluded that there is no need to require 
additional notice from persons who propose to engage in identical or 
similar activities.
    (4) EPA has examined new information, or has reexamined the test 
data or other information or analysis supporting its decision to add the 
substance to subpart E of this part under Sec. 721.170 and has concluded 
that the substance does not meet the criteria under Sec. 721.170(b).
    (5) For a substance added to subpart E of this part under 
Sec. 721.160, EPA has examined new information, or has reexamined the 
test data or other information or analysis supporting its finding under 
section 5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act, and has concluded that a rational 
basis no longer exists for the findings that activities involving the 
substance may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or 
the environment required under section 5(e)(1)(A) of the Act.
    (6) For a substance added to subpart E of this part under 
Sec. 721.160, certain activities involving the substance have been 
designated as significant new uses pending the completion of testing, 
and adequate test data developed in accordance with applicable 
procedures and criteria have been submitted to EPA.
    (b) Procedures for limitation or revocation. Modification or 
revocation of significant new use notification requirements for a 
substance that has been added to subpart E of this part using the 
procedures described under Sec. 721.160 or Sec. 721.170 may occur either 
at EPA's initiative or in response to a written request.
    (1) Any affected person may request modification or revocation of 
significant new use notification requirements for a substance that has 
been added to subpart E of this part using the procedures described in 
Sec. 721.160 or Sec. 721.170 by writing to the Director of the Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics and stating the basis for such request. 
All requests should be sent to the Document Control Office (7407), 
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC., 20460. ATTN: 
Request to amend significant new use rule. The request must be 
accompanied by information sufficient to support the request.
    (2) The Director of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics 
will consider the request, make a determination whether to initiate 
rulemaking to modify the requirements, and notify the requester of that 
determination by certified letter. If the request is denied, the letter 
will explain why EPA has concluded that the significant new use 
notification requirements for that substance should remain in effect.
    (3) If EPA concludes that significant new use notification 
requirements for a substance should be limited or revoked, EPA will 
propose the changes in the Federal Register, briefly describe the 
grounds for the action, and provide interested parties an opportunity to 
comment.

and (g)(5). The following additional human hazard precautionary 
statement shall appear on the MSDS as specified in Sec. 721.72(c):

    Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause 
heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Intentional misuse can 
be fatal. Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier 
than air. Liquid contact causes frostbite. The effects in animals from 
single exposure by inhalation include central nervous system effects, 
anesthesia, and decreased blood pressure. Cardiac sensitization occurred 
in dogs exposed to a concentration of 2.5 percent in air and given an 
intravenous epinephrine challenge. Repeated exposures produced increased 
liver weights, anesthetic effects, irregular respiration, poor 
coordination, and nonspecific effects such as decreased body weight 
gain. However, no irreversible effects were seen as evidenced by 
histopathologic evaluation. As part of an extensive toxicology program, 
halogenated chlorofluorocarbon-124 will be tested in subchronic, 
developmental, and chronic/cancer studies. Avoid breathing high 
concentration of vapor. Use with sufficient ventilation to keep employee 
exposure below recommended

[[Page 228]]

limits. Avoid contact of liquid with skin and eyes. Wear chemical splash 
goggles and lined butyl gloves. Do NOT allow product to contact open 
flame or electrical heating elements because dangerous decomposition 
products may form.

treatment may be subtracted in calculating the number of kilograms 
released. No more than 75 percent removal efficiency may be attributed 
to such treatment. In addition, when the substance is released in 
combination with the substances hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethenyl ester, 
neononanoic acid, ethenyl ester, and propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-,

    (a) Chemical substance and significant new uses subject to 
reporting. (1) The chemical substance identified as hexanoic acid, 2-
ethyl-, ethenyl ester (PMN P-91-826) is subject to reporting under this 
section for the significant new uses described in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section. The requirements of this section do not apply once the 
substance has been incorporated into a polymer matrix with the level of 
residual monomer below 0.1 percent.
    (2) The significant new uses are: (i) Protection in the workplace. 
Requirements as specified in Sec. 721.63 (a)(1), (a)(2)(i) (There must 
be no permeation of the substance greater than 0.02  g/
min. cm2 after 8 hours of testing in accordance 
with the most current version of the American Society for Testing and 
Materials (ASTM) F739 ``Standard Test Method for Resistance of 
Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases.'' For 
conditions of exposure which are intermittent, gloves may be tested in 
accordance with the most current version of ASTM F1383 ``Standard Test 
Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by 
Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Intermittent Contact,'' provided 
the contact time in testing is greater than or equal to the expected 
duration of dermal contact, and the purge time used in testing is less 
than or equal to the expected duration of noncontact during the 
intermittent cycle of dermal exposure in the workplace. If ASTM F1383 is 
used for testing, manufacturers, importers, and processors must submit 
to the Agency a description of worker activities involving the substance 
which includes daily frequencies and durations of potential worker 
exposures. The results of all glove permeation testing must be reported 
in accordance with the most current version of ASTM F1194 ``Guide for 
Documenting the Results of Chemical Permeation Testing of Protective 
Clothing Materials.'' Manufacturers, importers, and processors must 
submit all test data to the Agency and must receive written Agency 
approval for each type of glove tested prior to use of such gloves. The 
following gloves have been tested in accordance with the ASTM F739 
method and found by EPA to satisfy the requirements for continuous use: 
North/F101/Vitron gloves, 0.03 cm thick; and Ansell/Edmont/4H/PE/EVOH/PE 
Laminate gloves, 0.006 cm thick.(Gloves may not be used for a time 
period longer than they are actually tested and must be replaced at the 
end of each work shift.), (a)(2)(ii) (With the exception of laboratory 
activities, full body chemical protective clothing is required for any 
worker activity in which the substance is reasonably likely to contact 
the worker in the following state(s): Open liquid pool or solid of 
greater than 5 kg; liquid spray or splash; mist; aerosol dust; or any 
worker activity which have potential for contact with the PMN chemical 
for more than 10 min/h. At a minimum, a chemical protective apron is 
required for any worker activity with potential for contact with the PMN 
chemical which is not covered by this paragraph), (a)(2)(iii), (a)(3), 
(a)(4), (a)(5)(iii) (if cartridge service life testing is not 
available), (a)(5)(xii) or (a)(5)(xiii) (if data on cartridge service 
life testing has been reviewed and approved in writing by EPA), 
(a)(6)(i), (a)(6)(ii), (a)(6)(iv), and (a)(6)(v). As an alternative to 
the respiratory requirements in this section, manufacturers, importers, 
and processors may use the New Chemical Exposure Limits provisions, 
including sampling and analytical methods which have previously been 
approved by EPA for this substance, found in the 5(e) consent order for 
this substance.
    (ii) Hazard communication program. Requirements as specified in 
Sec. 721.72 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) (concentration set at 0.1 percent), 
(f), (h)(1)(vi) (The following additional statements shall appear on 
each label required by this paragraph: The health effects of this 
material have not been fully determined but are currently being tested. 
EPA is concerned however, that this material may have serious chronic 
health and environmental effects. When using this

[[Page 254]]

material, use eye and skin protection, which includes gloves which have 
been determined to be impervious to this substance. Use respiratory 
protection, unless workplace airborne concentrations are maintained at 
or below an 8-h time weighted average (TWA) of 1 ppm, when there is a 
likelihood of exposure in the work area from dust, mist, smoke or 
vapors.), (h)(2)(ii)(F), (h)(2)(ii)(G), (h)(2)(ii)(I), (h)(2)(iii)(A), 
(h)(2)(iii)(B), (h)(2)(iii)(C), (h)(2)(iii)(E), (h)(2)(iv)(A), 
(h)(2)(iv)(B). The following additional statements shall appear on each 
MSDS required by this paragraph: This substance may cause moderate skin 
irritation. This substance may cause neurotoxicity. When using this 
substance, use respiratory protection, unless workplace airborne 
concentrations are maintained at or below an 8-h TWA of 1 ppm.
    (iii) Industrial, commercial, and consumer activities. Requirements 
as specified in Sec. 721.80(q).
    (iv) Release to water. Requirements as specified in Sec. 721.90 
(a)(4), (b)(4), and (c)(4) (where N = 7 ppb). When calculating the 
surface water concentrations according to the instructions in 
Sec. 721.91(a)(4), the statement that the amount of the substance that 
will be released will be calculated before the substance enters control 
technology does not apply. Instead, if the waste stream containing the 
substance will be treated before release, then the amount of the 
substance reasonably likely to be removed from the waste stream by such 
treatment may be subtracted in calculating the number of kilograms 
released. No more than 75 percent removal efficiency may be attributed 
to such treatment. In addition, when the substance is released in 
combination with the substances hexanedioic acid, diethenyl ester, 
neononanoic acid, ethenyl ester, and propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, 
ethenyl ester, the quotient from the formula referenced in this section 
shall not exceed the average of the quotient applicable to the other 
substances weighted by the proportion of each substance present in the 
total daily amount released.
    (b) Specific requirements. The provisions of subpart A of this part 
apply to this section except as modified by this paragraph.
    (1) Recordkeeping. Recordkeeping requirements as specified in 
Sec. 721.125 (a) through (i), and (k) are applicable to manufacturers, 
importers, and processors of this substance. Manufacturers, importers, 
and processors of the substance must document that the substance has 
been incorporated into a polymer matrix with the level of residual 
monomer below 0.1 percent if this section does not apply as described in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

(a)(6)(ii), (a)(6)(iii), (a)(6)(v), (b) (concentration set at 0.1 
percent), and (c). The employer is able to demonstrate that the gloves 
selected for handling P-91-1321 provide an impervious barrier to prevent 
dermal exposure during normal and expected duration and conditions of 
exposure within the work area by testing the material used to make the 
gloves and the construction of the gloves to establish that they will be 
impervious for the expected duration and conditions of exposure. The 
testing must subject the gloves to the expected conditions of exposure, 
including the likely combinations of chemical substances to which the 
gloves may be exposed in the work area. There must be no permeation of 
P-91-1321 greater than 0.017 mg/cm2/min after 8 h of testing 
in accordance with the most recent versions of the American Society for 
Testing and Materials (ASTM) F739 ``Standard Test Method for Resistance 
of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases'' and 
ASTM F1194 ``Guide for Documenting the Results of Chemical Permeation 
Testing of Protective Clothing Materials.'' The employer must submit all 
test data to the Agency and must receive written Agency approval of the 
test results for each type of glove tested prior to use of such gloves. 
Neoprene gloves with a minimum thickness of 1.50 mm have already been 
tested and found to satisfy the terms of this rule. Nitrile gloves with 
a minimum thickness of 0.61 mm also satisfy the terms of this rule, as 
long as the duration of exposure to P-91-1321 is less than 2 h per work 
shift. If the duration of exposure is longer than 2 h, nitrile gloves 
shall be discarded and replaced every 2 h. Unless otherwise indicated,

surface water concentrations according to the instructions in 
Sec. 721.91(a)(4), the statement that the amount of the substance that 
will be released will be calculated before the substance enters control 
technology does not apply. Instead, if the waste stream containing the 
substance will be treated before release, then the amount of the 
substance reasonably likely to be removed from the waste stream by such 
treatment may be subtracted in calculating the number of kilograms 
released. No more than 75 percent removal efficiency may be attributed 
to such treatment. In addition, when the substance is released in 
combination with the substances hexanedioic acid, diethenyl ester, 
hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethenyl ester,

and propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, ethenyl ester, the quotient from the 
formula referenced in this section shall not exceed the average of the 
quotient applicable to the other substances weighted by the proportion 
of each substance present in the total daily amount released.
    (b) Specific requirements. The provisions of subpart A of this part 
apply to this section except as modified by this paragraph.
    (1) Recordkeeping. Recordkeeping requirements as specified in 
Sec. 721.125 (a) through (i), and (k) are applicable to manufacturers, 
importers, and processors of this substance. Manufacturers, importers, 
and processors of the substance must keep records documenting that the

each label required by this paragraph: The health effects of this 
material have not been fully determined but are currently being tested. 
EPA is concerned however, that this material may have serious chronic 
health and environmental effects. When using this material, use eye and 
skin protection, which includes gloves which have been determined to be 
impervious to this substance. Use respiratory protection, unless 
workplace airborne concentrations are maintained at or below an 8-h time 
weighted average (TWA) of 1 ppm, when there is a likelihood of exposure 
in the work area from dust, mist, smoke or vapor), (h)(2)(ii)(F),

    (iv) Release to water. Requirements as specified in Sec. 721.90 
(a)(4), (b)(4), and (c)(4) (where N = 40 ppb). When calculating the 
surface water concentrations according to the instructions in 
Sec. 721.91, the statement in paragraph (a)(4) that the amount of the 
substance that will be released will be calculated before the substance 
enters control technology does not apply. Instead, if the waste stream 
containing the substance will be treated before release, then the amount 
of the substance reasonably likely to be removed from the waste stream 
by such treatment may be subtracted in calculating the number of 
kilograms released. No more than 75 percent removal efficiency may be 
attributed to such treatment. In addition, when the substance is 
released in combination with the substances hexanedioic acid, diethenyl 
ester, hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethenyl ester, and neononanoic acid, 
ethenyl ester, the quotient from the formula referenced in this section 
shall not exceed the average of the quotient applicable to the other 
substances weighted by the proportion of each substance present in the 
total daily amount released.

Sec. 721.9825  Phenyl substituted triazolinones.

    (a) Chemical substance and significant new uses subject to 
reporting. (1) The chemical substances identified generically as phenyl 
substituted triazolinones (PMNs P-93-204, P-94-1870, P-94-1871, P-94-
1872, P-94-1873, and P-94-1874) are subject to reporting under this 
section for the significant new uses described in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section.
    (2) The significant new uses are:
    (i) Protection in the workplace. Requirements as specified in 
Sec. 721.63 (a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5)(iii), (a)(5)(iv), 
(a)(5)(v), (a)(5)(vi), (a)(6)(i), (b) (concentration set at 1.0 
percent), and (c). The imperviousness of the gloves selected pursuant to 
(a)(2)(i) of this section must be demonstrated by actual testing under 
(a)(3)(i) of this section and not by manufacturer specifications. In 
addition, there must be no permeation of the chemical substance greater 
than 15 g/day-cm2 as a daily cumulative total when 
tested in accordance with the most current version of the American 
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F739 ``Standard Test Method for 
Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or 
Gases'' or ASTM F1383 ``Standard Test Method for Resistance of 
Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under 
Conditions of Intermittent Contact.''
    (A) For conditions of exposure which are intermittent, gloves may be 
tested in accordance with the most current version of ASTM F1383 
``Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials 
to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Intermittent 
Contact,'' provided the contact time in testing is greater than or equal 
to the expected duration of dermal contact, and the purge time used in 
the testing is less than or equal to the expected duration of non-
contact during the intermittent cycle of dermal exposure in the 
workplace. If ASTM F1383 is used for testing, the company must submit to 
the Agency a description of worker activities involving the chemical 
substance which includes daily frequencies and durations of potential 
worker exposures.
    (B) The results of all glove permeation testing must be reported in 
accordance with the most current version of (ASTM) F1194 ``Guide for 
Documenting the Results of Chemical Permeation Testing of Protective 
Clothing Materials.'' The company must submit all test data to the 
Agency and must receive written Agency approval for each type of glove 
tested prior to use of such gloves. Gloves must be discarded and 
replaced with such frequency as to ensure that they will reliably 
provide an impervious barrier to the chemical substances under normal 
and expected conditions of exposure within the work area. Gloves that 
have been damaged or are defective shall not be used. For PMNs P-94-1871 
through P-94-1874, EPA has approved North Safety Butyl Rubber gloves (32 
mils thick). For P-93-204 and P-94-1870, EPA has approved North Safety 
Butyl Rubber gloves (32 mils thick) only if used in combination with a 
chemical-resistant glove that has been demonstrated (EPA review not 
required) impermeable to the solvent, e.g., North Silvershield gloves 
and North 4H gloves.

the requirements specified in Sec. 721.91, if the waste stream 
containing the chemical substances will be treated using activated 
carbon adsorption, then the amount of chemical substances reasonably 
likely to be removed from the waste stream by such treatment may be 
subtracted in calculating the number of kilograms released. No more than 
the following percent removal efficiencies may be attributed to such 
treatment for each PMN: P-93-204, 99 percent; P-94-1870, 98 percent; P-
94-1871, 97 percent; P-94-1872, 92 percent; P-94-1873, 90 percent; P-94-

Sec. 723.50  Chemical substances manufactured in quantities of 10,000 kilograms or less per year, and chemical substances with low environmental releases and 
          human exposures.

    (a) Purpose and scope. (1) This section grants an exemption from the 
premanufacture notice requirements of section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(A)) for the manufacture of:
    (i) Chemical substances manufactured in quantities of 10,000 
kilograms or less per year.
    (ii) Chemical substances with low environmental releases and human 
exposures.
    (2) To manufacture a new chemical substance under the terms of this 
exemption a manufacturer must:
    (i) Submit a notice of intent to manufacture 30 days before 
manufacture begins, as required under paragraph (e) of this section.
    (ii) Comply with all other provisions of this section.
    (3) This section does not apply to microorganisms subject to part 
725 of this chapter.
    (b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this subpart.
    (1) Act means the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq).
    (2) Consumer means a private individual who uses a chemical 
substance or any product containing the chemical substance in or around 
a permanent or temporary household or residence, during recreation, or 
for any personal use or enjoyment.
    (3) Environment has the same meaning as in section 3 of the Act (15 
U.S.C. 2602).
    (4) Environmental transformation product means any chemical 
substance resulting from the action of environmental processes on a 
parent compound that changes the molecular identity of the parent 
compound.

[[Page 366]]

    (5) Metabolite means a chemical entity produced by one or more 
enzymatic or nonenzymatic reactions as a result of exposure of an 
organism to a chemical substance.
    (6) Serious acute effects means human disease processes or other 
adverse effects that have short latency periods for development, result 
from short-term exposure, or are a combination of these factors and that 
are likely to result in death, severe or prolonged incapacitation, 
disfigurement, or severe or prolonged loss of the ability to use a 
normal bodily or intellectual function with a consequent impairment of 
normal activities.
    (7) Serious chronic effects means human disease processes or other 
adverse effects that have long latency periods for development, result 
from long-term exposure, are long-term illnesses, or are a combination 
of these factors and that are likely to result in death, severe or 
prolonged incapacitation, disfigurement, or severe or prolonged loss of 
the ability to use a normal bodily or intellectual function with a 
consequent impairment of normal activities.
    (8) Significant environmental effects means:
    (i) Any irreversible damage to biological, commercial, or 
agricultural resources of importance to society;
    (ii) Any reversible damage to biological, commercial, or 
agricultural resources of importance to society if the damage persists 
beyond a single generation of the damaged resource or beyond a single 
year; or
    (iii) Any known or reasonably anticipated loss of members of an 
endangered or threatened species. Endangered or threatened species are 
those species identified as such by the Secretary of the Interior in 
accordance with the Endangered Species Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531).
    (9) Site means a contiguous property unit. Property divided only by 
a public right-of-way is one site. There may be more than one 
manufacturing plant on a single site.
    (10) The terms byproduct, EPA, importer, impurity, known to or 
reasonably ascertainable, manufacture, manufacturer, new chemical 
substance, person, possession or control, and test data have the same 
meanings as in Sec. 720.3 of this chapter.
    (c) Exemption categories. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of 
this section, this exemption applies to:
    (1) Any manufacturer of a new chemical substance manufactured in 
quantities of 10,000 kilograms or less per year under the terms of this 
exemption.
    (2) Any manufacturer of a new chemical substance satisfying all of 
the following low environmental release and low human exposure 
eligibility criteria:
    (i) Consumers and the general population. For exposure of consumers 
and the general population to the new chemical substance during all 
manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal 
of the substance:
    (A) No dermal exposure.
    (B) No inhalation exposure (except as described in paragraph 
(c)(2)(iv) of this section.
    (C) Exposure in drinking water no greater than a 1 milligram per 
year (estimated average dosage resulting from drinking water exposure in 
streams from the maximum allowable concentration level from ambient 
surface water releases established under paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this 
section or a higher concentration authorized by EPA under paragraph 
(c)(2)(iii) of this section).
    (ii) Workers. For exposure of workers to the new chemical substance 
during all manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, use and 
disposal of the substance:
    (A) No dermal exposure (this criterion is met if adequate dermal 
exposure controls are used in accordance with applicable EPA guidance).
    (B) No inhalation exposure (this criterion is considered to be met 
if adequate inhalation exposure controls are used in accordance with 
applicable EPA guidance).
    (iii) Ambient surface water. For ambient surface water releases, no 
releases resulting in surface water concentrations above 1 part per 
billion, calculated using the methods prescribed in Secs. 721.90 and 
721.91, unless EPA has approved a higher surface water concentration 
supported by relevant and

[[Page 367]]

scientifically valid data submitted to EPA in a notice under paragraph 
(e) of this section on the substance or a close structural analogue of 
the substance which demonstrates that the new substance will not present 
an unreasonable risk of injury to aquatic species or human health at the 
higher concentration.
    (iv) Incineration. For ambient air releases from incineration, no 
releases of the new chemical substance above 1 microgram per cubic meter 
maximum annual average concentration, calculated using the formula:

    (kg/day of release after treatment) multiplied by (number of release 
days per year) multiplied by (9.68  x  10-6) micrograms per 
cubic meter.

    (v) Land or groundwater. For releases to land or groundwater, no 
releases to groundwater, to land, or to a landfill unless the 
manufacturer has demonstrated to EPA's satisfaction in a notice under 
paragraph (e) of this section that the new substance has negligible 
groundwater migration potential.
    (d) Chemical substances that cannot be manufactured under this 
exemption. A new chemical substance cannot be manufactured under this 
section, notwithstanding satisfaction of the criterion of paragraphs 
(c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section, if EPA determines, in accordance with 
paragraph (g) of this section, that the substance, any reasonably 
anticipated metabolites, environmental transformation products, or 
byproducts of the substance, or any reasonably anticipated impurities in 
the substance may cause, under anticipated conditions of manufacture, 
processing, distribution in commerce, use, or disposal of the new 
chemical substance:
    (1) Serious acute (lethal or sublethal) effects.
    (2) Serious chronic (including carcinogenic and teratogenic) 
effects.
    (3) Significant environmental effects.
    (e) Exemption notice. (1) A manufacturer applying for an exemption 
under either paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section must submit an 
exemption notice to the EPA at least 30 days before manufacture of the 
new chemical substance begins. The notice must be sent in writing to: 
TSCA Document Control Officer, (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC 20460. The date of submission will be the date on which the notice is 
received by the TSCA Document Control Officer. EPA will acknowledge the 
receipt of the notice by letter. The letter will identify the date on 
which the review period begins. The notice shall be submitted using EPA 
Form No. 7710-25 (``the PMN form''), which may be obtained from EPA by 
writing the Environmental Assistance Division, (7408), Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC. 20460, or by calling the TSCA Assistance 
Information Service at (202) 554-1404; TDD (202) 554-0551; online 
service modem (202) 554-5603.
    (2) The notice shall contain the information described below, 
pursuant to the referenced provisions of Sec. 720.45.
    (i) Manufacturer identity.
    (ii) Chemical identity (Sec. 720.45(a)).
    (iii) Impurities (Sec. 720.45(b)).
    (iv) Known synonyms or trade names (Sec. 720.45(c)).
    (v) Byproducts (Sec. 720.45(d)).
    (vi) Production volume (Sec. 720.45(e)). (A) Manufacturers 
submitting an exemption application under paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section will be assumed to be manufacturing at an annual production 
volume of 10,000 kilograms. Manufacturers who intend to manufacture an 
exempted substance at annual volumes of less than 10,000 kilograms and 
wish EPA to conduct its risk assessment based upon such lesser annual 
production level rather than a 10,000-kilograms level, may so specify by 
writing the lesser annual production volume in the appropriate box on 
the PMN form and marking the adjacent binding option box. Manufacturers 
who opt to specify annual production levels below 10,000 kilograms and 
who mark the production volume binding option box shall not manufacture 
more than the specific annual amount of the exempted substance unless a 
new exemption notice for a higher (up to 10,000 kgs) manufacturing 
volume is submitted and approved pursuant to this section.
    (B) Manufacturers submitting an exemption under paragraph (c)(2) of 
this

[[Page 368]]

section shall list the estimated maximum amount to be manufactured 
during the first year of production and the estimated maximum amount to 
be manufactured during any 12-month period during the first 3 years of 
production.
    (vii) Description of intended categories of use (Sec. 720.45(f)).
    (viii) For manufacturer-controlled sites, the manufacturer shall 
supply identity of manufacturing sites, process descriptions, and worker 
exposure and environmental release information (Sec. 720.45(g)); for 
sites not controlled by the manufacturer, processing and use operation 
descriptions, estimated number of processing and use sites, and worker 
exposure/environmental release information (Sec. 720.45(h)). A 
manufacturer applying for an exemption under paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section need not provide information on worker exposure and 
environmental release referenced in paragraphs (e)(2)(viii) of this 
section if such information is not known or not readily available to the 
manufacturer. To assist in reporting this information, manufacturers may 
obtain a copy of EPA's Guidance for Reporting Occupational Exposure and 
Environmental Release Information under 40 CFR 723.50, available from 
the Environmental Assistance Division at the address listed in paragraph 
(e)(1) of this section. Where worker exposure and environmental release 
information is not supplied by the manufacturer, EPA will generally 
apply ``bounding estimates'' (i.e., exposure estimates higher than those 
incurred by persons in the population with the highest exposure) to 
account for uncertainties in actual exposure and release scenarios.
    (ix) Type and category of notice. The manufacturer must clearly 
indicate on the first page of the PMN form that the submission is a 
``TSCA section 5(h)(4) exemption notice,'' and must indicate whether the 
notice is being submitted under paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this 
section. Manufacturers of chemical substances that qualify for an 
exemption under both paragraph (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section may 
apply for either exemption, but not both.
    (x) Test data (Sec. 720.50).
    (xi) Certification. In addition to the certifications required in 
EPA form 7710-25, the following certifications shall be included in 
notices under this section. The manufacturer must certify that:
    (A) The manufacturer intends to manufacture or import the new 
chemical substance for commercial purposes, other than in small 
quantities solely for research and development, under the terms of this 
section.
    (B) The manufacturer is familiar with the terms of this section and 
will comply with those terms.
    (C) The new chemical substance for which the notice is submitted 
meets all applicable exemption conditions.
    (D) For substances manufactured under paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section, the manufacturer intends to commence manufacture of the 
exempted substance for commercial purposes within 1 year of the date of 
the expiration of the 30-day review period.
    (xii) Sanitized copy of notice. (A) The manufacturer must make all 
claims of confidentiality in accordance with paragraph (l) of this 
section. If any information is claimed confidential, the manufacturer 
must submit a second copy of the notice, with all information claimed as 
confidential deleted, in accordance with paragraph (l)(3) of this 
section.
    (B) If the manufacturer does not provide the second copy, the 
submission will be considered incomplete.
    (3) Incomplete notices. If EPA receives a submission which does not 
include all of the information required under this paragraph (e) of this 
section, the submission will be determined to be incomplete by EPA. When 
a submission for a new chemical substance has been determined to be 
incomplete, a manufacturer reapplying for an exemption for the new 
chemical substance must submit a new exemption notice containing all the 
information required under this paragraph (e) of this section including 
a certification page containing an original dated signature; partial 
submissions sent to EPA to supplement notices declared incomplete will 
not be accepted. Photocopied pages from previously submitted exemption 
forms will be accepted provided that the certifications page contains an 
original dated signature.

[[Page 369]]

    (f) Multiple exemption holders. (1) A manufacturer who intends to 
manufacture a substance for which an exemption under this section was 
previously approved may apply for an exemption under paragraph (c)(1) or 
(c)(2) of this section; however, EPA will not approve any subsequent 
exemption application under paragraph (c)(1) of this section unless it 
can determine that the potential human exposure to, and environmental 
release of, the new chemical substance at the higher aggregate 
production volume will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
human health or the environment.
    (2)(i) If EPA proposes to deny an exemption application for a 
substance for which another manufacturer currently holds an exemption, 
and that proposed denial is based exclusively on the cumulative human 
exposure or environmental release of the substance which precludes the 
EPA from determining that the subsequent applicant's activities will not 
present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the 
environment, the EPA will notify the first exemption holder that it 
must, within 21 days of its receipt of EPA's notice, either:
    (A) Provide a new certification that it has commenced, or that it 
will commence, manufacture of the new chemical substance under this 
section within 1 year of the expiration of its exemption review period; 
or
    (B) Withdraw its exemption for the new chemical substance.
    (ii) If the first exemption holder does not respond to the EPA's 
notice under paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section within the prescribed 
time period, EPA shall issue a notice of ineligibility to the first 
exemption holder under the provisions of paragraph (h)(2) of this 
section.
    (g) Review period. (1) EPA will review the notice submitted under 
paragraph (e) of this section to determine whether manufacture of the 
new chemical substance is eligible for the exemption. The review period 
will end 30 days after receipt of the notice by the TSCA Document 
Control Officer. To provide additional time to address any unresolved 
issues concerning an exemption application, the exemption applicant may, 
at any time during the review period, request a suspension of the review 
period pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 720.75(b) of this chapter.
    (2) Upon expiration of the 30-day review period, if EPA has taken no 
action, the manufacturer may consider its exemption approved and begin 
to manufacture the new chemical substance under the terms described in 
its notice and in this section.
    (h) Notice of ineligibility--(1) During the review period. If the 
EPA determines during the review period that manufacture of the new 
chemical substance does not meet the terms of this section or that there 
are issues concerning toxicity or exposure that require further review 
which cannot be accomplished within the 30-day review period, EPA will 
notify the manufacturer by telephone that the substance is not eligible. 
This telephone notification will subsequently be confirmed by certified 
letter that identifies the reasons for the ineligibility determination. 
The manufacturer may not begin manufacture of the new chemical substance 
without complying with section 5(a)(1) of the Act or submitting a new 
notice under paragraph (e) of this section that satisfies EPA's 
concerns.
    (2) After the review period. (i)(A) If at any time after the review 
period specified in paragraph (g) of this section the Assistant 
Administrator for the Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic 
Substances (``the Assistant Administrator'') makes a preliminary 
determination that manufacture of the new chemical substance does not 
meet the terms of this section, the Assistant Administrator will notify 
the manufacturer by certified letter that EPA believes that the new 
chemical substance does not meet the terms of the section.
    (B) The manufacturer may continue to manufacture, process, 
distribute in commerce, and use the substance after receiving the notice 
under paragraph (h)(2)(i)(A) of this section if the manufacturer was 
manufacturing, processing, distributing in commerce, or using the 
substance at the time of the notification and if the manufacturer 
submits objections or an explanation under paragraph (h)(2)(ii) of this 
section. Manufacturers not manufacturing, processing, distributing in 
commerce, or using the substance at the time of

[[Page 370]]

the notification may not begin manufacture until EPA makes its final 
determination under paragraph (h)(2)(iii) of this section.
    (ii) A manufacturer who has received notice under paragraph 
(h)(2)(i)(A) of this section may submit, within 15 days of receipt of 
written notification, detailed objections to the determination or an 
explanation of its diligence and good faith efforts in attempting to 
comply with the terms of this section.
    (iii) The Assistant Administrator will consider any objections or 
explanation submitted under paragraph (h)(2)(ii) of this section and 
will make a final determination. The Assistant Administrator will notify 
the manufacturer of the final determination by telephone within 15 days 
of receipt of the objections or explanation, and subsequently by 
certified letter.
    (iv) If the Assistant Administrator determines that manufacture of 
the new chemical substance meets the terms of this section, the 
manufacturer may continue or resume manufacture, processing, 
distribution in commerce, and use in accordance with the terms of this 
section.
    (v) If the Assistant Administrator determines that manufacture of 
the new chemical substance does not meet the terms of this section and 
that the manufacturer did not act with due diligence and in good faith 
to meet the terms of this section, the manufacturer must cease any 
continuing manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use of 
the new chemical substance within 7 days of the written notification 
under paragraph (h)(2)(iii) of this section. The manufacturer may not 
resume manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use of the 
new chemical substance until it submits a notice under section 5(a)(1) 
of the Act and part 720 of this chapter and the notice review period has 
ended.
    (vi) If the Assistant Administrator determines that manufacture of 
the new chemical substance does not meet the terms of this section and 
that the manufacturer acted with due diligence and in good faith to meet 
the terms of this section, the manufacturer may continue manufacture, 
processing, distribution in commerce, and use of the new chemical 
substance if:
    (A) It was actually manufacturing, processing, distributing in 
commerce, or using the chemical substance at the time it received the 
notification specified in paragraph (h)(2)(i)(A) of this section.
    (B) It submits a notice on the new chemical substance under section 
5(a)(1) of the Act and part 720 of this chapter within 15 days of 
receipt of the written notification under paragraph (h)(2)(iii) of this 
section. Such manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, and use 
may continue unless EPA takes action under section 5(e) or 5(f) of the 
Act.
    (3) Action under this paragraph does not preclude action under 
sections 7, 15, 16, or 17 of the Act.
    (i) Additional information. If the manufacturer of a new chemical 
substance under the terms of this exemption obtains test data or other 
information indicating that the new chemical substance may not qualify 
under terms of this section, the manufacturer must submit these data or 
information to EPA within 15 working days of receipt of the information. 
If, during the notice review period specified in paragraph (g) of this 
section, the submitter obtains possession, control, or knowledge of new 
information that materially adds to, changes, or otherwise makes 
significantly more complete the information included in the notice, the 
submitter must send that information to the address listed on the notice 
form within 10 days of receiving the new information, but no later than 
5 days before the end of the notice review period. The new submission 
must clearly identify the submitter and the exemption notice to which 
the new information is related. If the new information becomes available 
during the last 5 days of the notice review period, the submitter must 
immediately inform its EPA contact for that notice by telephone.
    (j) Changes in manufacturing site, use, human exposure and 
environmental release controls, and certain manufacturing volumes. (1) 
Except as provided in paragraph (j)(6) of this section, chemical 
substances manufactured under this section must be manufactured at the 
site or sites described, for the uses described, and under the human 
exposure

[[Page 371]]

and environmental release controls described in the exemption notice 
under paragraph (e) of this section.
    (2) Where the manufacturer lists a specific physical form in which 
the new chemical substance will be manufactured, processed, and/or used, 
the manufacturer must continue manufacturing, processing, and/or using 
the new chemical substance in either the same physical form described in 
the notice under paragraph (e), or in a physical form which will not 
increase the human exposure to or environmental release of the new 
chemical substance over those exposures or releases resulting from the 
specified physical form (e.g., a manufacturer which specifies that the 
new chemical substance will be produced in a non-volatile liquid form 
generally may not change to a respirable powder form).
    (3) The annual production volume of chemical substances manufactured 
under paragraph (c)(1) of this section for which the manufacturer 
designated a binding annual production volume pursuant to paragraph 
(e)(2)(vi) of this section must not exceed that designated volume.
    (4) Any person who manufactures a new chemical substance under 
paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section must comply with the 
provisions of this section, including submission of a new notice under 
paragraph (e) of this section, before:
    (i) Manufacturing the new chemical substance at a site that was not 
approved in a previous exemption notice for the substance, except as 
provided in paragraph (j)(6) of this section.
    (ii) Manufacturing the new chemical substance for a use that was not 
approved in a previous exemption notice for the substance.
    (iii) Manufacturing the new chemical substance without employing the 
human exposure and environmental release controls approved in a previous 
exemption notice for the substance.
    (iv) Manufacturing the new chemical substance in a physical form 
different than that physical form approved in a previous exemption 
notice for the substance and which form may increase the human exposure 
to, or environmental release of, the new chemical substance over those 
exposures or releases resulting from the physical form approved in the 
previous notice.
    (v) Manufacturing the chemical substance in annual production 
volumes above any volume designated by the manufacturer as binding under 
paragraph (e)(2)(vi) of this section in a previous exemption notice for 
the substance.
    (5) In an exemption notice informing EPA of a change in site, use, 
or worker protection, or environmental release controls, the 
manufacturer is not required to provide all of the same information 
submitted to EPA in a previous exemption notice for that chemical 
substance. The new exemption notice, however, must indicate the identity 
of the new chemical substance; the manufacturer's name; the name and 
telephone number of a technical contact; and location of the new site, 
new worker protection or environmental release controls, and new use 
information. The notice must also include the EPA-designated exemption 
number assigned to the previous notice and a new certification by the 
manufacturer, as described in paragraph (e)(2)(xi) of this section.
    (6)(i) A manufacturer may, without submitting a new notice, 
manufacture the new chemical substance at a site not listed in its 
exemption application under the following conditions:
    (A) the magnitude, frequency, and duration of exposure of individual 
workers to the new chemical substance at the new manufacturing site is 
equal to, or less than, the magnitude, frequency, and duration of 
exposure of the individual workers to the new chemical substance at the 
manufacturing site for which the EPA performed its original risk-
assessment pursuant to the original exemption notice; and
    (B) Either (1) at the new manufacturing site, the manufacturer does 
not release to surface waters any of the new chemical substance, or any 
waste streams containing the new chemical substance; or (2) at the new 
manufacturing site, the manufacturer maintains surface water 
concentrations of the chemical substance, resulting from direct or 
indirect discharges from the manufacturing site, at or below 1 part per 
billion, or at or below an alternative concentration level approved by

[[Page 372]]

the Agency in writing or under the procedures described in paragraph 
(c)(2)(iii) of this section, using the water concentration calculation 
method described at Secs. 721.90 and 721.91.
    (ii) The manufacturer shall notify EPA of any new manufacturing site 
no later than 30 days after the commencement of manufacture of the new 
chemical substance under the exemption at the new manufacturing site as 
follows:
    (A) The notification must contain the EPA-designated exemption 
number to which the notification applies, manufacturer identity, the 
street address of the new manufacturing site, the date on which 
manufacture commenced at the new site, the name and telephone number of 
a technical contact at the new site, any claim of confidentiality, and a 
statement that the notification is an amendment to the original 
exemption application under the terms of this section.
    (B) The notification may be submitted on EPA form 7710-56 ``Notice 
of Commencement of Manufacture;'' however, the manufacturer must add the 
statement required under paragraph (j)(6)(ii)(A) of this section that 
the notification is an amendment to the original exemption.
    (C) The notification must contain an original signature of an 
authorized official of the manufacturer.
    (k) Customer notification. (1) Manufacturers of new chemical 
substances described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section 
must notify processors and industrial users that the substance can be 
used only for the uses specified in the exemption notice at paragraph 
(e) of this section. The manufacturer must also inform processors and 
industrial users of any controls specified in the exemption notice. The 
manufacturer may notify processors and industrial users by means of a 
container labeling system, written notification, or any other method 
that adequately informs them of use restrictions or controls.
    (2) A manufacturer of a new chemical substance described in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section may distribute the chemical substance 
only to other persons who agree in writing to not further distribute the 
substance until it has been reacted, incorporated into an article, or 
otherwise rendered into a physical form or state in which environmental 
releases and human exposures above the eligibility criteria in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section are not likely to occur.
    (3) If the manufacturer learns that a direct or indirect customer is 
processing or using the new substance in violation of use restrictions 
or without imposing prescribed worker protection or environmental 
release controls, the manufacturer must cease distribution of the 
substance to the customer or the customer's supplier immediately unless 
the manufacturer is able to document each of the following:
    (i) That the manufacturer has, within 5 working days, notified the 
customer in writing that the customer has failed to comply with the 
conditions specified in this section and the exemption notice under 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (ii) That, within 15 working days of notifying the customer of the 
noncompliance, the manufacturer received from the customer, in writing, 
a statement of assurance that the customer is aware of the terms of this 
section and the exemption notice and will comply with those terms.
    (4) If, after receiving a statement of assurance from a customer 
under paragraph (k)(3)(ii) of this section, the manufacturer obtains 
knowledge that the customer has again failed to comply with any of the 
conditions specified in this section or the exemption notice, the 
manufacturer shall cease supplying the new chemical substance to that 
customer and shall report the failure to comply to EPA within 15 days of 
obtaining this knowledge. Within 30 days of its receipt of the report, 
EPA will notify the manufacturer whether, and under what conditions, 
distribution of the chemical substance to the customer may resume.
    (l) Confidentiality. (1) If the manufacturer submits information to 
EPA under this section which the manufacturer claims to be confidential 
business information, the manufacturer must clearly identify the 
information at the time of submission to EPA by bracketing, circling, or 
underlining it and stamping it with ``CONFIDENTIAL'' or some other 
appropriate designation. Any information so identified will be

[[Page 373]]

treated in accordance with the procedures in part 2 of this chapter. Any 
information not claimed confidential at the time of submission may be 
made available to the public without further notice.
    (2)(i) Any person who asserts a claim of confidentiality for 
chemical identity under this paragraph (l) must provide a generic 
chemical name that is only as generic as necessary to protect the 
confidential chemical identity of the particular chemical substance. The 
name should reveal the specific chemical identity to the maximum extent 
possible.
    (ii) The generic name provided by the manufacturer will be subject 
to EPA review and approval in accordance with the procedures specified 
in Sec. 720.85(b)(6) of this chapter. The generic name provided by the 
submitter or an alternative selected by EPA under these procedures will 
be placed on a public list of substances exempt under this section.
    (3) If any information is claimed confidential, the manufacturer 
must submit a second copy of the notice with all information claimed as 
confidential deleted. EPA will place the second copy in the public file.
    (m) Exemptions granted under superseded regulations. Manufacturers 
holding exemptions granted under the superseded requirements of this 
section (as in effect on May 26, 1995) shall either continue to comply 
with those requirements (including the production volume limit) or apply 
for a new exemption pursuant to this section. EPA will not accept 
requests to amend exemptions granted under the superseded requirements; 
manufacturers wishing to amend such exemptions must submit a new 
exemption under paragraph (e) of this section. If a new exemption for a 
new chemical substance is granted under this exemption to the 
manufacturer holding an exemption under the superseded requirements, the 
exemption under the superseded requirements for such substance shall be 
void.
    (n) Submission of information. Information submitted to EPA under 
this section must be sent in writing to the Document Control Office 
(7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Room G-099, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC., 20460.
    (o) Compliance. (1) Failure to comply with any provision of this 
section is a violation of section 15 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2614).
    (2) Submitting materially misleading or false information in 
connection with the requirements of any provision of this section is a 
violation of this section and therefore a violation of section 15 of the 
Act (15 U.S.C. 2614).
    (3) Violators may be subject to the civil and criminal penalties in 
section 16 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2615) for each violation.
    (4) EPA may seek to enjoin the manufacture or processing of a 
chemical substance in violation of this section, or act to seize any 
chemical substance manufactured or processed in violation of this 
section, or take other action under the authority of section 7 of the 
Act (15 U.S.C. 2606) or section 17 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 1616).

notice under section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2604) and until 
the review period for the notice has ended without EPA action to prevent 
distribution or use.
    (e) Conditions of manufacture and processing in the special 
production area. All manufacturing, processing, and use operations 
involving the new chemical substance must be performed in a special 
production area under the conditions set forth in this paragraph until 
the new chemical substance has been incorporated into a wet mixture, 
photographic article, or instant photographic or peel-apart film 
article.
    (1) Exposure limits. In the special production area, the ambient air 
concentration of the new chemical substance during manufacture, 
processing, and use cannot exceed an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) 
of 10 ppm for gases and vapors and 50 g/m3for 
particulates, with an allowable TWA excursion of 50 percent above those 
concentrations for a duration of 30 minutes or less.
    (2) Respiratory protection--(i) Respirator requirement. Except as 
specified in paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of this section, each person in the 
special production area must wear an appropriate respiratory protection 
device to protect against dusts, fumes, vapors, and other airborne 
contaminants, as described in 29 CFR 1910.134. Selection of an 
appropriate respirator must be made according to the guidance of 
American National Standard Practices for Respiratory Protection Z88.2-
1969 and the NIOSH Certified Equipment List, U.S. Department of Health 
and Human Services, NIOSH publication No. 80-144.
    (ii) Waiver of respirator requirement. Employees are not required to 
wear respirators if monitoring information collected and analyzed in 
accordance with paragraph (e)(3) of this section demonstrates that the 
ambient 8-hour TWA concentration of the new chemical substance in the 
area is less than 1 ppm for gases and vapors and 5 g/
m3for particulates with an allowable TWA excursion of 50 
percent above these concentrations for a duration of 30 minutes or less.
    (iii) Quantitative fit test. Each respirator must be issued to a 
specific individual for personal use. A quantitative fit test must be 
performed for each respirator before its first use by that person in a 
special production area.
    (3) Monitoring--(i) When to monitor. (A) When suitable sampling and 
analytic methods exist, periodic monitoring in accordance with this 
paragraph must be done to ensure compliance with the exposure limits of 
paragraphs (e)(1) and (2)(ii) of this section.
    (B) When suitable sampling and analytic methods do not exist, 
compliance with the exposure limits of paragraph (e)(1) and the 
requirements of paragraph (e)(10) of this section must be determined by 
an evaluation of monitoring data developed for a surrogate chemical 
substance possessing comparable physical-chemical properties under 
similar manufacturing and processing conditions.
    (ii) Monitoring methods. A suitable air sampling method must permit 
personal or fixed location sampling by conventional collection methods. 
A suitable analytic method must have adequate sensitivity for the volume 
of sample available and be specific for the new chemical substance being 
monitored. If chemical-specific monitoring methods are not available, 
nonspecific methods

[[Page 376]]

may be used if the concentration of the new chemical substance is 
assumed to be the total concentration of chemical substances monitored.
    (iii) Monitoring frequency. (A) When suitable air sampling and 
analytical procedures are available, monitoring must be done in each 
special production area during the first three 8-hour work shifts 
involving the manufacture or processing of each new chemical substance. 
Thereafter, monitoring must be done in each special production area for 
at least one 8-hour period per month, during a production run in which 
the new chemical substance is manufactured or processed. Samples must be 
of such frequency and pattern as to represent with reasonable accuracy 
the mean level and maximum 30-minute level of employee exposure during 
an 8-hour work shift. In monitoring for an 8-hour work shift or the 
equivalent, samples must be collected periodically or continuously for 
the duration of the 8-hour work shift. Samples must be taken during a 
period which is likely to represent the maximum employee exposure.
    (B) If the manufacturer demonstrates compliance with the exposure 
limits for 3 consecutive months, further monitoring of the identical 
process must be performed only every 6 months thereafter, unless there 
is a significant change in the process, process design, or equipment. If 
there is such a change, the manufacturer must begin monitoring again 
according to the schedule in paragraph (e)(3)(iii)(A) of this section.
    (iv) Location of monitoring. Air samples must be taken so as to 
ensure that the samples adequately represent the ambient air 
concentration of a new chemical substance present in each worker's 
breathing zone.
    (4) Engineering controls and exposure safeguards. Engineering 
controls such as, but not limited to, isolation, enclosure, local 
exhaust ventilation, and dust collection must be used to ensure 
compliance with the exposure limits prescribed in paragraphs (e)(1) or 
(e)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (5) Training, hygiene, and work practices--(i) Training. No employee 
may enter a special production area before the completion of a training 
program. The training program must be adapted to the individual 
circumstances of the manufacturer and must address: The known physical-
chemical and toxicological properties of the chemical substances handled 
in the area; procedures for using and maintaining respirators and other 
personal safeguards; applicable principles of hygiene; special handling 
procedures designed to limit personal exposure to, and inadvertent 
release of, chemical substances; and procedures for responding to 
emergencies or spills.
    (ii) Hygiene. Appropriate standards of hygiene must be observed by 
all employees handling a new chemical substance in manufacturing, 
processing, or transfer operations. The manufacturer must provide 
appropriate facilities for employee changing and wash-up. Food, 
beverages, tobacco products, and cosmetics must not be allowed in 
special production areas.
    (iii) Work practices. Operating procedures such as those related to 
chemical weighing and filtering, or the charging, discharging and clean-
up of process equipment, must be designed and conducted to ensure 
compliance with the exposure limits prescribed in paragraph (e)(1) or 
(e)(2)(ii) of this section. Written procedures and all materials 
necessary for responding to emergency situations must be immediately 
accessible to all employees in a special production area. Any spill or 
unanticipated emission must be controlled by specially trained personnel 
using the equipment and protective clothing described in paragraph 
(e)(6) of this section.
    (6) Personal protection devices. All workers engaged in the 
manufacture and processing of a new chemical substance in the special 
production area must wear suitable protective clothing or equipment, 
such as chemical-resistant coveralls, protective eyewear, and gloves.
    (7) Caution signs. Each special production area must be clearly 
posted with signs identifying the area as a special production area 
where new chemical substances are manufactured and processed under 
controlled conditions. Each sign must clearly restrict entry into the 
special production area to qualified personnel who are properly trained 
and

[[Page 377]]

equipped with appropriate personal exposure safeguards.
    (8) Removal for storage or transportation. A new chemical substance 
that is not incorporated into a wet mixture, photographic article, or 
instant photographic or peel-apart film article may be removed from the 
special production area for purposes of storage between operational 
steps or for purposes of transportation to another special production 
area. Such storage or transportation must be conducted in a manner that 
limits worker and environmental exposure through the use of engineering 
controls, training, hygiene, work practices, and personal protective 
devices appropriate to the chemical substance in question.
    (9) Labeling. (i) Any new chemical substance removed from a special 
production area or stored or transported between operational steps must 
be clearly labeled. The label must show the identity of the new chemical 
substance or an appropriate identification code, a statement of any 
known hazards associated with it, a list of special handling 
instructions, first aid information, spill control directions, and where 
applicable, the appropriate U.S. Department of Transportation notations.
    (ii) No label is required if the new chemical substance has been 
incorporated into a photographic article, or if it is contained in a 
sealed reaction vessel or pipeline, or if it has been incorporated into 
an instant photographic or peel-apart film article.
    (10) Areas immediately adjacent to the special production area. The 
ambient air concentration of the new chemical substance in areas 
immediately adjacent to the special production area must not exceed the 
exposure limit established in paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of this section for 
waiver of respirator protection within the special production area. 
Periodic monitoring in accordance with paragraph (e)(3) of this section 
must be performed in immediately adjacent areas where it is reasonable 
to expect a risk of inhalation exposure.
    (f) Conditions of processing outside the special production area. A 
wet mixture may be incorporated into a photographic article or an 
instant photographic or peel-apart film article outside the special 
production area under the conditions listed in this paragraph:
    (1) Engineering controls and exposure safeguards. Engineering 
controls must limit the exposure to a new chemical substance contained 
in a wet mixture.
    (2) Training, hygiene and work practices--(i) Training. Training of 
employees involved in the handling of wet mixtures containing a new 
chemical substance must be adapted to the individual circumstances of 
the employees' activities and must address: Procedures for using 
personal exposure safeguards, applicable principles of hygiene, handling 
procedures designed to limit personal exposure, and procedures for 
responding to emergencies and spills.
    (ii) Hygiene. Appropriate standards of hygiene that limit exposure 
must be observed by all employees handling wet mixtures that contain new 
chemical substances.
    (iii) Work practices. Work practices and operating procedures must 
be designed to limit exposure to any new chemical substance contained in 
wet mixtures. Any spills or unanticipated releases of a wet mixture must 
be controlled by trained personnel wearing appropriate protective 
clothing or equipment such as gloves, eye protection, and, where 
necessary, respirators or chemically imprevious clothing.
    (3) Personal protection devices. All workers engaged in the 
processing of a wet mixture containing a new chemical substance must 
wear suitable protective clothing or equipment such as coveralls, 
protective eyewear, respirators, and gloves.
    (g) Incorporation of photographic articles into instant photographic 
and peel-apart film articles. A photographic article may be incorporated 
into the instant photographic or peel-apart film article outside the 
special production area. The manufacturer must take measures to limit 
worker and environmental exposure to new chemcial substances during 
these operations using engineering controls, training, hygiene, work 
practices, and personal protective devices.
    (h) Environmental release and waste treatment--(1) Release to land. 
Process

[[Page 378]]

waste from manufacturing and processing operations in the special 
production area that contain a new chemical substance are considered to 
be hazardous waste and must be handled in accordance with the 
requirements of parts 262 through 267 and parts 122 and 124 of this 
chapter.
    (2) Release to water. All wastewater or discharge which contain the 
new chemcial subtance must be appropriately pretreated before release to 
a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) or other receiving body of 
water. In the case of release to a POTW, the pretreatment must prevent 
structural damage to, obstruction of, or interference with the operation 
of the POTW. The treatment of direct release to a receiving body of 
water must be appropriate for the new chemical substance's physical-
chemical properties and potential toxicity.
    (3) Release to air. All process emissions released to the air which 
contain the new chemical substance must be vented through control 
devices appropriate for the new chemical substance's physical-chemical 
properties and potential toxicity.

Sec. 723.250  Polymers.

    (a) Purpose and scope. (1) This section grants an exemption from 
certain of the premanufacture notice requirements of section 5(a)(1)(A) 
of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2604(a)(1)(A)) for the 
manufacture of certain polymers. This section does not apply to 
microorganisms subject to part 725 of this chapter.
    (2) To manufacture a new chemical substance under the terms of this 
section, a manufacturer must:
    (i) Determine that the substance meets the definition of polymer in 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (ii) Determine that the substance is not specifically excluded by 
paragraph (d) of this section.
    (iii) Ensure that the substance meets the exemption criteria of 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (iv) Submit a report as required under paragraph (f) of this 
section.
    (v) Comply with the recordkeeping requirements of paragraph (j) of 
this section.
    (b) Definitions. In addition to the definitions under section 3 of 
the Act, 15 U.S.C. 2602, the following definitions apply to this part.
    Act means the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.).
    Biopolymer means a polymer directly produced by living or once-
living cells or cellular components.
    Category of chemical substances has the same meaning as in section 
26(c)(2) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2625).
    Cationic polymer means a polymer that contains a net positively 
charged atom(s) or associated groups of atoms covalently linked to its 
polymer molecule.
    Chemical substance, Director, EPA, importer, impurity, Inventory, 
known to or reasonably ascertainable, manufacture, manufacturer, 
mixture, new chemical, person, possession or control, process and test 
data have the same meanings as in Sec. 720.3 of this chapter.
    Equivalent weight of a functional group means the ratio of the 
molecular

[[Page 381]]

weight to the number of occurrences of that functional group in the 
molecule. It is the weight of substance that contains one formula-weight 
of the functional group.
    Internal monomer unit means a monomer unit that is covalently bonded 
to at least two other molecules. Internal monomer units of polymer 
molecules are chemically derived from monomer molecules that have formed 
covalent bonds between two or more other monomer molecules or other 
reactants.
    Monomer means a chemical substance that is capable of forming 
covalent bonds with two or more like or unlike molecules under the 
conditions of the relevant polymer-forming reaction used for the 
particular process.
    Monomer Unit means the reacted form of the monomer in a polymer.
    Number-average molecular weight means the arithmetic average (mean) 
of the molecular weight of all molecules in a polymer.
    Oligomer means a polymer molecule consisting of only a few monomer 
units (dimer, trimer, tetramer)
    Other reactant means a molecule linked to one or more sequences of 
monomer units but which, under the relevant reaction conditions used for 
the particular process, cannot become a repeating unit in the polymer 
structure.
    Polyester means a chemical substance that meets the definition of 
polymer and whose polymer molecules contain at least two carboxylic acid 
ester linkages, at least one of which links internal monomer units 
together.
    Polymer means a chemical substance consisting of molecules 
characterized by the sequence of one or more types of monomer units and 
comprising a simple weight majority of molecules containing at least 3 
monomer units which are covalently bound to at least one other monomer 
unit or other reactant and which consists of less than a simple weight 
majority of molecules of the same molecular weight. Such molecules must 
be distributed over a range of molecular weights wherein differences in 
the molecular weight are primarily attributable to differences in the 
number of monomer units. In the context of this definition, sequence 
means that the monomer units under consideration are covalently bound to 
one another and form a continuous string within the molecule, 
uninterrupted by units other than monomer units.
    Polymer molecule means a molecule which contains a sequence of at 
least 3 monomer units which are covalently bound to at least one other 
monomer unit or other reactant.
    Reactant means a chemical substance that is used intentionally in 
the manufacture of a polymer to become chemically a part of the polymer 
composition.
    Reactive functional group means an atom or associated group of atoms 
in a chemical substance that is intended or can reasonably be 
anticipated to undergo further chemical reaction.
    Reasonably anticipated means that a knowledgeable person would 
expect a given physical or chemical composition or characteristic to 
occur based on such factors as the nature of the precursors used to 
manufacture the polymer, the type of reaction, the type of manufacturing 
process, the products produced in polymerization, the intended uses of 
the substance, or associated use conditions.
    (c) Applicability. This section applies to manufacturers of new 
chemical substances that otherwise must submit a premanufacture notice 
to EPA under Sec. 720.22 of this chapter. New substances are eligible 
for exemption under this section if they meet the definition of 
``polymer'' in paragraph (b) of this section, and the criteria in 
paragraph (e) of this section, and if they are not excluded from the 
exemption under paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) Polymers that cannot be manufactured under this section--(1) 
Cationic polymers. A polymer cannot be manufactured under this section 
if the polymer is a cationic polymer as defined under paragraph (b) of 
this section or if the polymer is reasonably anticipated to become a 
cationic polymer in a natural aquatic environment (e.g., rivers, lakes) 
unless:
    (i) The polymer is a solid material that is not soluble or 
dispersible in water and will be used only in the solid phase (e.g., 
polymers that will be used as ion exchange beads), or

[[Page 382]]

    (ii) The combined (total) functional group equivalent weight of 
cationic groups in the polymer is equal to or greater than 5,000.
    (2) Elemental limitations. (i) A polymer manufactured under this 
section must contain as an integral part of its composition at least two 
of the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, and 
sulfur.
    (ii) A polymer cannot be manufactured under this section if it 
contains as an integral part of its composition, except as impurities, 
any elements other than the following:
    (A) The elements listed in paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section.
    (B) Sodium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, calcium, chlorine, 
bromine, and iodine as the monatomic counterions Na+,

Cl-, Br-, or I-.
    (C) Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine covalently bound to 
carbon.
    (D) Less than 0.20 weight percent of any combination of the atomic 
elements lithium, boron, phosphorus, titanium, manganese, iron, nickel, 
copper, zinc, tin, and zirconium.
    (3) Polymers which degrade, decompose, or depolymerize. A polymer 
cannot be manufactured under this section if the polymer is designed or 
is reasonably anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or 
depolymerize, including those polymers that could substantially 
decompose after manufacture and use, even though they are not actually 
intended to do so. For the purposes of this section, degradation, 
decomposition, or depolymerization mean those types of chemical change 
that convert a polymeric substance into simpler, smaller substances, 
through processes including but not limited to oxidation, hydrolysis, 
attack by solvents, heat, light, or microbial action.
    (4) Polymers manufactured or imported from monomers and reactants 
not on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory. A polymer cannot be 
manufactured under this section if the polymer being manufactured or 
imported is prepared from monomers and/or other reactants (that are 
either charged to the reaction vessel or incorporated in the polymer at 
levels of greater than 2 weight percent) that are not already included 
on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory or manufactured under an 
applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.
    (5) Water absorbing polymers with number average molecular weight 
(MW) 10,000 and greater. A polymer cannot be manufactured under this 
section if the polymer being manufactured or imported is a water 
absorbing polymer and has a number average MW greater than or equal to 
10,000 daltons. For purposes of this section, a water-absorbing polymer 
is a polymeric substance that is capable of absorbing its weight of 
water.
    (e) Exemption criteria. To be manufactured under this section, the 
polymer must meet one of the following criteria:
    (1) Polymers with number average MW greater than or equal to 1,000

withdrawing sulfone group with which the olefinic groups interact), 
butenedioic acid groups, those conjugated olefinic groups contained in 
naturally-occurring fats, oils, and carboxylic acids, blocked 
isocyanates (including ketoxime-blocked isocyanates), thiols, 
unconjugated nitrile groups, and halogens (except that reactive halogen-

* Chemical substance of unknown or variable composition,complex reaction
  products, and biological materials (UVCB). The CAS Registry Numbers
  for UVCB substances are not used in CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS and its
  indexes.
** These substances may not be used in a substance manufactured from
  fumaric or maleic acid because of potential risks associated with
  esters, which may be formed by reaction of these reactants.
 

    (f) Exemption report for polymers manufactured under the terms of 
this section. For substances exempt under paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), and 
(e)(3) of this section a report of manufacture or import must be 
submitted (postmarked) by January 31 of the year subsequent to initial 
manufacture. The notice must include:
    (1) Manufacturer's name. This includes the name and address of the 
manufacturer and the name and telephone number of a technical contact.
    (2) Number of substances manufactured. Number of substances 
manufactured.

[[Page 385]]

The manufacturer must identify the number of polymers manufactured under 
terms of the exemption for the first time in the year preceding the 
notice.
    (g) Chemical identity information. For substances exempt under 
paragraph (e) of this section the manufacturer must to the extent known 
to or reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer identify the 
following and maintain the records in accordance with paragraph (j) of 
this section:
    (1) A specific chemical name and CAS Registry Number (or EPA 
assigned Accession Number) for each ``reactant,'' as that term is 
defined in paragraph (b) of this section, used at any weight in the 
manufacture of the polymer. For purposes of determining chemical 
identity, the manufacturer may determine whether a reactant is used at 
greater than two weight percent according to either the weight of the 
reactant charged to the reaction vessel or the weight of the chemically 
combined (incorporated) reactant in the polymer. Manufacturers who 
choose the ``incorporated'' method must have analytical data, or 
theoretical calculations (if it can be documented that an analytical 
determination cannot be made or is not necessary), to demonstrate 
compliance with this paragraph. Reactants that introduce into the 
polymer elements, properties, or functional groups that would render the 
polymer ineligible for the exemption are not allowed at any level.
    (2) A representative structural diagram, if possible.
    (h) Certification. To manufacture a substance under the terms of 
this section, a manufacturer must as of the date of first manufacture, 
make the following certification statements and maintain them in 
accordance with paragraph (j) of this section:
    (1) The substance is manufactured or imported for a commercial 
purpose other than for research and development.
    (2) All information in the certification is truthful.
    (3) The new chemical substance meets the definition of a polymer, is 
not specifically excluded from the exemption in paragraph (d) of this 
section, and meets the conditions of the exemption in paragraph (e) of 
this section.
    (i) Exemptions granted under superseded regulations. Manufacturers 
granted exemptions under the superseded requirements of Sec. 723.250 (as 
in effect on May 26, 1995) shall either continue to comply with those 
requirements or follow all procedural and recordkeeping requirements 
pursuant to this section. If an exemption holder continues to follow the 
superseded regulations, the Notice of Commencement requirements apply 
and the exempt polymer will continue to be listed on the Inventory with 
exclusion criteria and exemption category restrictions on residual 
monomer/reactant and low molecular weight species content limitations.
    (j) Recordkeeping. (1) A manufacturer of a new polymer under 
paragraphs (e) of this section, must retain the records described in 
this paragraph at the manufacturing site for a period of 5 years from 
the date of commencement of manufacture or import.
    (2) The records must include the following to demonstrate compliance 
with the terms of this section:
    (i) Chemical identity information as required in paragraph (g) of 
this section.
    (ii) Information to demonstrate that the new polymer is not 
specifically excluded from the exemption.
    (iii) Records of production volume for the first 3 years of 
manufacture and the date of commencement of manufacture.
    (iv) Information to demonstrate that the new polymer meets the 
exemption criteria in paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), or (e)(3) of this 
section.
    (v) Analytical data, or theoretical calculations (if it can be 
documented that an analytical determination cannot be made or is not 
necessary), to demonstrate that the polymer meets the number-average MW 
exemption criteria in paragraphs (e)(1) or (e)(2) of this section.The 
analytical tests may include gel permeation chromatography (GPC).vapor 
pressure osmometry (VPO), or other such tests which will demonstrate 
that the polymer meets the number-average MW criterion.
    (vi) Analytical data, or theoretical calculations (if it can be 
documented

[[Page 386]]

that an analytical determination cannot be made or is not necessary), to 
demonstrate that the polymer meets the criteria in paragraphs (e)(1) or 
(e)(2) of this section, meets the low MW content criteria in paragraphs 
(e)(1) or (e)(2) of this section.
    (vii) If applicable, analytical data, or theoretical calculations 
(if it can be documented that an analytical determination cannot be made 
or is not necessary) required in paragraph (g) of this section for 
determining monomers or reactants charged to the reaction vessel at 
greater than 2 weight percent but incorporated at 2 weight percent or 
less in the manufactured polymer.
    (viii) The certification statements as required under paragraph (h) 
of this section.
    (3) The manufacturer must submit the records listed in paragraph 
(j)(2) of this section to EPA upon written request by EPA. The

chemical substance and fails to comply with any provision of this 
section is in violation of section 15 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2614).
    (2) Using for commercial purposes a chemical substance or mixture 
which a person knew or had reason to know was manufactured, processed, 
or distributed in commerce in violation of section 5 of the Act is a 
violation of section 15 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2614).
    (3) Failure or refusal to establish and maintain records or to 
permit access to or copying of records, as required by this section and 
section 11 of the Act, is a violation of section 15 of the Act (15 
U.S.C. 2614).
    (4) Failure or refusal to permit entry or inspection as required by 
section 11 of the Act is a violation of section 15 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 
2614).
    (5) Violators may be subject to the civil and criminal penalties in 
section 16 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2615) for each violation. Persons who 
submit materially misleading or false information in connection with the 
requirements of any provision of this section may be subject to 
penalties calculated as if they never filed their notices.
    (6) EPA may seek to enjoin the manufacture or processing of a 
chemical substance in violation of this section or act to seize any 
chemical substance manufactured or processed in violation of this 
section or take other actions under the authority of section 7 of the 
Act (15 U.S.C. 2606) or section 17 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2616).
    (m) Inspections. EPA will conduct inspections under section 11 of 
the Act to assure compliance with section 5 and this section, to verify 
that information submitted to EPA under this section is true and 
correct, and to audit data submitted to EPA under this section.
    (n) Confidentiality. If a manufacturer submits information to EPA 
under this section which the manufacturer claims to be confidential 
business information, the manufacturer must clearly identify the 
information at the time of submission to EPA by bracketing, circling, or 
underlining it and stamping it with ``CONFIDENTIAL'' or some other 
appropriate designation. Any information so identified will be treated 
in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. Any information not 
claimed confidential at the time of submission may be made available to 
the public without further notice.

             Subpart A--General Provisions and Applicability



Sec. 725.1  Scope and purpose.

    (a) This part establishes all reporting requirements under section 5 
of TSCA for manufacturers, importers, and processors of microorganisms 
subject to TSCA jurisdiction for commercial purposes, including research 
and development for commercial purposes. New microorganisms for which 
manufacturers and importers are required to report under section 
5(a)(1)(A) of TSCA are those that are intergeneric. In addition, under 
section 5(a)(1)(B) of TSCA, manufacturers, importers, and processors may 
be required to report for any microorganism that EPA determines by rule 
is being manufactured, imported, or processed for a significant new use.
    (b) Any manufacturer, importer, or processor required to report 
under section 5 of TSCA (see Sec. 725.100 for new microorganisms and 
Sec. 725.900 for significant new uses) must file a Microbial Commercial 
Activity Notice (MCAN) with EPA, unless the activity is eligible for a 
specific exemption as described in this part. The general procedures for 
filing MCANs are described in subpart D of this part. The exemptions 
from the requirement to file a MCAN are for certain kinds of contained 
activities (see Secs. 725.424 and 725.428), test marketing activities 
(see Sec. 725.300), and research and development activities described in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Any manufacturer, importer, or processor required to file a MCAN 
for research and development (R&D) activities may instead file a TSCA 
Experimental Release Application (TERA) for a specific test (see 
Sec. 725.250). A TERA is not required for certain R&D activities; 
however a TERA exemption does not extend beyond the research and 
development stage, to general commercial use of the microorganism, for 
which compliance with MCAN requirements is required. The TERA exemptions 
are for R&D activities subject to other Federal agencies or programs 
(see Sec. 725.232), certain kinds of contained R&D activities (see 
Sec. 725.234), and R&D activities using certain listed microorganisms 
(see Sec. 725.238).
    (d) New microorganisms will be added to the Inventory established 
under section 8 of TSCA once a MCAN has been received, the MCAN review 
period has expired, and EPA receives a Notice of Commencement (NOC) 
indicating that manufacture or importation has actually begun. New 
microorganisms approved for use under a TERA will not be added to the 
Inventory until a MCAN has been received, the MCAN review period has 
expired, and EPA has received an NOC.



Sec. 725.3  Definitions.

    Definitions in section 3 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2602), as well as 
definitions contained in Secs. 704.3, 720.3, and 721.3 of this chapter, 
apply to this part unless otherwise specified in this section. In 
addition, the following definitions apply to this part:
    Consolidated microbial commercial activity notice or consolidated 
MCAN means any MCAN submitted to EPA that covers more than one 
microorganism (each being assigned a separate MCAN number by EPA) as a 
result of a prenotice agreement with EPA.
    Containment and/or inactivation controls means any combination of 
engineering, mechanical, procedural, or biological controls designed and 
operated to restrict environmental release of viable microorganisms from 
a structure.
    Director means the Director of the EPA Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics.

[[Page 389]]

    Genome means the sum total of chromosomal and extrachromosomal 
genetic material of an isolate and any descendants derived under pure 
culture conditions from that isolate.
    Health and safety study of a microorganism or health and safety 
study means any study of any effect of a microorganism or microbial 
mixture on health or the environment or on both, including underlying 
data and epidemiological studies, studies of occupational exposure to a 
microorganism or microbial mixture, toxicological, clinical, and 
ecological, or other studies of a microorganism or microbial mixture, 
and any test performed under the Act. Microorganism identity is always 
part of a health and safety study of a microorganism.
    (1) It is intended that the term ``health and safety study of a 
microorganism'' be interpreted broadly. Not only is information which 
arises as a result of a formal, disciplined study included, but other 
information relating to the effects of a microorganism or microbial 
mixture on health or the environment is also included. Any data that 
bear on the effects of a microorganism on health or the environment 
would be included.
    (2) Examples include:
    (i) Tests for ecological or other environmental effects on 
invertebrates, fish, or other animals, and plants, including: Acute 
toxicity tests, chronic toxicity tests, critical life stage tests, 
behavioral tests, algal growth tests, seed germination tests, plant 
growth or damage tests, microbial function tests, bioconcentration or 
bioaccumulation tests, and model ecosystem (microcosm) studies.
    (ii) Long- and short-term tests of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, or 
teratogenicity; dermatoxicity; cumulative, additive, and synergistic 
effects; and acute, subchronic, and chronic effects.
    (iii) Assessments of human and environmental exposure, including 
workplace exposure, and impacts of a particular microorganism or 
microbial mixture on the environment, including surveys, tests, and 
studies of: Survival and transport in air, water, and soil; ability to 
exchange genetic material with other microorganisms, ability to colonize 
human or animal guts, and ability to colonize plants.
    (iv) Monitoring data, when they have been aggregated and analyzed to 
measure the exposure of humans or the environment to a microorganism.
    (v) Any assessments of risk to health and the environment resulting 
from the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, or 
disposal of the microorganism.
    Inactivation means that living microorganisms are rendered 
nonviable.
    Institutional Biosafety Committee means the committees described in 
the NIH Guidelines in section IV.B.2.
    Intergeneric microorganism means a microorganism that is formed by 
the deliberate combination of genetic material originally isolated from 
organisms of different taxonomic genera.
    (1) The term ``intergeneric microorganism'' includes a microorganism 
which contains a mobile genetic element which was first identified in a 
microorganism in a genus different from the recipient microorganism.
    (2) The term ``intergeneric microorganism'' does not include a 
microorganism which contains introduced genetic material consisting of 
only well-characterized, non-coding regulatory regions from another 
genus.
    Introduced genetic material means genetic material that is added to, 
and remains as a component of, the genome of the recipient.
    Manufacture, import, or process for commercial purposes means:
    (1) To import, produce, manufacture, or process with the purpose of 
obtaining an immediate or eventual commercial advantage for the 
manufacturer, importer, or processor, and includes, among other things, 
``manufacture'' or ``processing'' of any amount of a microorganism or 
microbial mixture:
    (i) For commercial distribution, including for test marketing.
    (ii) For use by the manufacturer, including use for product research 
and development or as an intermediate.
    (2) The term also applies to substances that are produced 
coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of 
another microorganism or microbial mixture, including byproducts that 
are separated from that other microorganism or microbial

[[Page 390]]

mixture and impurities that remain in that microorganism or microbial 
mixture. Byproducts and impurities without separate commercial value are 
nonetheless produced for the purpose of obtaining a commercial 
advantage, since they are part of the manufacture or processing of a 
microorganism for commercial purposes.
    Microbial commercial activity notice or MCAN means a notice for 
microorganisms submitted to EPA pursuant to section 5(a)(1) of the Act 
in accordance with subpart D of this part.
    Microbial mixture means any combination of microorganisms or 
microorganisms and other chemical substances, if the combination does 
not occur in nature and is not an article.
    Microorganism means an organism classified, using the 5-kingdom 
classification system of Whittacker, in the kingdoms Monera (or 
Procaryotae), Protista, Fungi, and the Chlorophyta and the Rhodophyta of 
the Plantae, and a virus or virus-like particle.
    Mobile genetic element or MGE means an element of genetic material 
that has the ability to move genetic material within and between 
organisms. ``Mobile genetic elements'' include all plasmids, viruses, 
transposons, insertion sequences, and other classes of elements with 
these general properties.
    New microorganism means a microorganism not included on the 
Inventory.
    NIH Guidelines means the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 
``Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules'' (July 5, 
1994).
    Non-coding regulatory region means a segment of introduced genetic 
material for which:
    (1) The regulatory region and any inserted flanking nucleotides do 
not code for protein, peptide, or functional ribonucleic acid molecules.
    (2) The regulatory region solely controls the activity of other 
regions that code for protein or peptide molecules or act as recognition 
sites for the initiation of nucleic acid or protein synthesis.
    Small quantities solely for research and development (or ``small 
quantities solely for purposes of scientific experimentation or analysis 
or research on, or analysis of, such substance or another substance, 
including such research or analysis for development of a product'') 
means quantities of a microorganism manufactured, imported, or processed 
or proposed to be manufactured, imported, or processed solely for 
research and development that meet the requirements of Sec. 725.234.
    Structure means a building or vessel which effectively surrounds and 
encloses the microorganism and includes features designed to restrict 
the microorganism from leaving.
    Submission means any MCAN or exemption request submitted to EPA 
under this part.
    Technically qualified individual means a person or persons:
    (1) Who, because of education, training, or experience, or a 
combination of these factors, is capable of understanding the health and 
environmental risks associated with the microorganism which is used 
under his or her supervision,
    (2) Who is responsible for enforcing appropriate methods of 
conducting scientific experimentation, analysis, or microbiological 
research to minimize such risks, and
    (3) Who is responsible for the safety assessments and clearances 
related to the procurement, storage, use, and disposal of the 
microorganism as may be appropriate or required within the scope of 
conducting a research and development activity.
    TSCA Experimental Release Application or TERA means an exemption 
request for a research and development activity, which is not eligible 
for a full exemption from reporting under Sec. 725.232, 725.234, or 
725.238, submitted to EPA in accordance with subpart E of this part.
    Well-characterized for introduced genetic material means that the 
following have been determined:
    (1) The function of all of the products expressed from the 
structural gene(s).
    (2) The function of sequences that participate in the regulation of 
expression of the structural gene(s).
    (3) The presence or absence of associated nucleotide sequences and 
their associated functions, where associated nucleotide sequences are 
those sequences needed to move genetic material including linkers, 
homopolymers,

[[Page 391]]

adaptors, transposons, insertion sequences, and restriction enzyme 
sites.



Sec. 725.8  Coverage of this part.

    (a) Microorganisms subject to this part. Only microorganisms which 
are manufactured, imported, or processed for commercial purposes, as 
defined in Sec. 725.3, are subject to the requirements of this part.
    (b) Microorganisms automatically included on the Inventory. 
Microorganisms that are not intergeneric are automatically included on 
the Inventory.
    (c) Microorganisms not subject to this part. The following 
microorganisms are not subject to this part, either because they are not 
subject to jurisdiction under the Act or are not subject to reporting 
under section 5 of the Act.
    (1) Any microorganism which would be excluded from the definition of 
``chemical substance'' in section 3 of the Act and Sec. 720.3(e) of this 
chapter.
    (2) Any microbial mixture as defined in Sec. 725.3. This exclusion 
applies only to a microbial mixture as a whole and not to any 
microorganisms and other chemical substances which are part of the 
microbial mixture.
    (3) Any microorganism that is manufactured and processed solely for 
export if the following conditions are met:
    (i) The microorganism is labeled in accordance with section 
12(a)(1)(B) of the Act, when the microorganism is distributed in 
commerce.
    (ii) The manufacturer and processor can document at the commencement 
of manufacturing or processing that the person to whom the microorganism 
will be distributed intends to export it or process it solely for export 
as defined in Sec. 721.3 of this chapter.



Sec. 725.12  Identification of microorganisms for Inventory and other listing purposes.

    To identify and list microorganisms on the Inventory, both taxonomic 
designations and supplemental information will be used. The supplemental 
information required in paragraph (b) of this section will be used to 
specifically describe an individual microorganism on the Inventory. 
Submitters must provide the supplemental information required by 
paragraph (b) of this section to the extent necessary to enable a 
microorganism to be accurately and unambiguously identified on the 
Inventory.
    (a) Taxonomic designation. The taxonomic designation of a 
microorganism must be provided for the donor organism and the recipient 
microorganism to the level of strain, as appropriate. These designations 
must be substantiated by a letter from a culture collection, literature 
references, or the results of tests conducted for the purpose of 
taxonomic classification. Upon EPA's request to the submitter, data 
supporting the taxonomic designation must be provided to EPA. The 
genetic history of the recipient microorganism should be documented back 
to the isolate from which it was derived.
    (b) Supplemental information. The supplemental information described 
in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section is required to the 
extent that it enables a microorganism to be accurately and 
unambiguously identified.
    (1) Phenotypic information. Phenotypic information means pertinent 
traits that result from the interaction of a microorganism's genotype 
and the environment in which it is intended to be used and may include 
intentionally added biochemical and physiological traits.
    (2) Genotypic information. Genotypic information means the pertinent 
and distinguishing genotypic characteristics of a microorganism, such as 
the identity of the introduced genetic material and the methods used to 
construct the reported microorganism. This also may include information 
on the vector construct, the cellular location, and the number of copies 
of the introduced genetic material.



Sec. 725.15  Determining applicability when microorganism identity or use is confidential or uncertain.

    (a) Consulting EPA. Persons intending to conduct activities 
involving microorganisms may determine their obligations under this part 
by consulting the Inventory or the microorganisms and uses specified in 
Sec. 725.239 or in subpart M of this part. This section establishes 
procedures for EPA to assist persons in

[[Page 392]]

determining whether the microorganism or the use is listed on the 
Inventory, in Sec. 725.239 or in subpart M of this part.
    (1) Confidential identity or use. In some cases it may not be 
possible to directly determine if a specific microorganism is listed, 
because portions of that entry may contain generic information to 
protect confidential business information (CBI). If any portion of the 
microorganism's identity or use has been claimed as CBI, that portion 
does not appear on the public version of the Inventory, in Sec. 725.239 
or in subpart M of this part. Instead, it is contained in a confidential 
version held in EPA's Confidential Business Information Center (CBIC). 
The public versions contain generic information which masks the 
confidential business information. A person who intends to conduct an 
activity involving a microorganism or use whose entry is described with 
generic information will need to inquire of EPA whether the unreported 
microorganism or use is on the confidential version.
    (2) Uncertain microorganism identity. The current state of 
scientific knowledge leads to some imprecision in describing a 
microorganism. As the state of knowledge increases, EPA will be 
developing policies to determine whether one microorganism is equivalent 
to another. Persons intending to conduct activities involving 
microorganisms may inquire of EPA whether the microorganisms they intend 
to manufacture, import, or process are equivalent to specific 
microorganisms described on the Inventory, in Sec. 725.239, or in 
subpart M of this part.
    (b) Requirement of bona fide intent. (1) EPA will answer the 
inquiries described in paragraph (a) of this section only if the Agency 
determines that the person has a bona fide intent to conduct the 
activity for which reporting is required or for which any exemption may 
apply.
    (2) To establish a bona fide intent to manufacture, import, or 
process a microorganism, the person who intends to manufacture, import, 
or process the microorganism must submit the following information in 
writing to the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Document 
Control Officer, 7407, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, ATTN: 
BIOTECH bona fide submission.
    (i) Taxonomic designations and supplemental information required by 
Sec. 725.12.
    (ii) A signed statement certifying that the submitter intends to 
manufacture, import, or process the microorganism for commercial 
purposes.
    (iii) A description of research and development activities conducted 
with the microorganism to date, demonstration of the submitter's ability 
to produce or obtain the microorganism from a foreign manufacturer, and 
the purpose for which the person will manufacture, import, or process 
the microorganism.
    (iv) An indication of whether a related microorganism was previously 
reviewed by EPA to the extent known by the submitter.
    (v) A specific description of the major intended application or use 
of the microorganism.
    (c) If an importer or processor cannot provide all the information 
required by paragraph (b) of this section, because it is claimed as 
confidential business information by its foreign manufacturer or 
supplier, the foreign manufacturer or supplier may supply the 
information directly to EPA.
    (d) EPA will review the information submitted by the manufacturer, 
importer, or processor under this paragraph to determine whether that 
person has shown a bona fide intent to manufacture, import, or process 
the microorganism. If necessary, EPA will compare this information to 
the information requested for the confidential microorganism under 
Sec. 725.85(b)(3)(iii).
    (e) In order for EPA to make a conclusive determination of the 
microorganism's status, the proposed manufacturer, importer, or 
processor must show a bona fide intent to manufacture, import, or 
process the microorganism and must provide sufficient information to 
establish identity unambiguously. After sufficient information has been 
provided, EPA will inform the manufacturer, importer, or processor 
whether the microorganism is subject to this part and if so, which 
sections of this part apply.

[[Page 393]]

    (f) If the microorganism is found on the confidential version of the 
Inventory, in Sec. 725.239 or in subpart M of this part, EPA will notify 
the person(s) who originally reported the microorganism that another 
person (whose identity will remain confidential, if so requested) has 
demonstrated a bona fide intent to manufacture, import, or process the 
microorganism and therefore was told that the microorganism is on the 
Inventory, in Sec. 725.239, or in subpart M of this part.
    (g) A disclosure to a person with a bona fide intent to manufacture, 
import, or process a particular microorganism that the microorganism is 
on the Inventory, in Sec. 725.239, or in subpart M of this part will not 
be considered a public disclosure of confidential business information 
under section 14 of the Act.
    (h) EPA will answer an inquiry on whether a particular microorganism 
is subject to this part within 30 days after receipt of a complete 
submission under paragraph (b) of this section.



Sec. 725.17  Consultation with EPA.

    Persons may consult with EPA, either in writing or by telephone, 
about their obligations under this part. Written consultation is 
preferred. Written inquiries should be sent to the following address: 
Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460, ATTN: Biotechnology Notice Consultation. Persons 
wishing to consult with EPA by telephone should call (202) 554-1404; 
hearing impaired TDD (202) 554-0551 or e-mail: TSCA-
[email protected].



                  Subpart B--Administrative Procedures



Sec. 725.20  Scope and purpose.

    This subpart describes general administrative procedures applicable 
to all persons who submit MCANs and exemption requests to EPA under 
section 5 of the Act for microorganisms.



Sec. 725.25  General administrative requirements.

    (a) General. (1) Each person who is subject to the notification 
provisions of this part must complete, sign, and submit a MCAN or 
exemption request containing the information as required for the 
appropriate submission under this part. Except as otherwise provided, 
each submission must include all referenced attachments. All information 
in the submission (unless certain attachments appear in the open 
scientific literature) must be in English. All information submitted 
must be true and correct.
    (2) In addition to specific information required, the submitter 
should submit all information known to or reasonably ascertainable by 
the submitter that would permit EPA to make a reasoned evaluation of the 
human health and environmental effects of the microorganism and any 
microbial mixture or article that may contain the microorganism.
    (b) Certification. Persons submitting MCANs and exemption requests 
to EPA under this part, and material related to their reporting 
obligations under this part, must attach the following statement to any 
information submitted to EPA. This statement must be signed and dated by 
an authorized official of the submitter:

    I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief: The company

and environmental effects of the microorganism.
    (e) Agency or joint submissions. (1) A manufacturer or importer may 
designate an agent to submit the MCAN or exemption request. Both the 
manufacturer or importer and the agent must sign the certification 
required in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) A manufacturer or importer may authorize another person (e.g., a 
foreign manufacturer or supplier, or a toll manufacturer) to report some 
of the information required in the MCAN or exemption request to EPA on 
its behalf. If separate portions of a joint submission are not submitted 
together, the submitter must indicate which information will be supplied 
by another person and identify that person. The manufacturer or importer 
and any other person supplying the information must sign the 
certification required by paragraph (b) of this section.
    (3) If EPA receives a submission which does not include the 
information required, which the submitter indicates that it has 
authorized another person to provide, the review period will not begin 
until EPA receives all of the required information.
    (f) Microorganisms subject to a section 4 test rule. (1) Except as 
provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this section, if a person intends to 
manufacture or import a new microorganism which is subject to the 
notification requirements of this part, and the microorganism is subject 
to a test rule promulgated under section 4 of the Act before the notice 
is submitted, section 5(b)(1) of the Act requires the person to submit 
the test data required by the testing rule with the notice. The person 
must submit the data in the form and manner specified in the test rule 
and in accordance with Sec. 725.160. If the person does not submit the 
test data, the submission is incomplete and EPA will follow the 
procedures in Sec. 725.33.
    (2) If EPA has granted the submitter an exemption under section 4(c) 
of the Act from the requirement to conduct tests and submit data, the 
person may not file a MCAN or TERA until EPA receives the test data.
    (3) If EPA has granted the submitter an exemption under section 4(c) 
of the Act and if another person previously has submitted the test data 
to EPA, the exempted person may either submit the test data or provide 
the following information as part of the notice:
    (i) The name, title, and address of the person who submitted the 
test data to EPA.
    (ii) The date the test data were submitted to EPA.
    (iii) A citation for the test rule.
    (iv) A description of the exemption and a reference identifying it.
    (g) Microorganisms subject to a section 5(b)(4) rule. (1) If a 
person:
    (i) Intends to manufacture or import a microorganism which is 
subject to the notification requirements of this part and which is 
subject to a rule issued under section 5(b)(4) of the Act; and
    (ii) Is not required by a rule issued under section 4 of the Act to 
submit test data for the microorganism before the filing of a 
submission, the person must submit to EPA data described in paragraph 
(g)(2) of this section at the time the submission is filed.
    (2) Data submitted under paragraph (g)(1) of this section must be 
data which the person submitting the notice believes show that the 
manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of 
the microorganism, or any combination of such activities, will not 
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (h) Data that need not be submitted. Specific data requirements are 
listed in subparts D, E, F, G, and L of this part. The following is a 
list of data that need not be submitted under this part:
    (1) Data previously submitted to EPA. (i) A person need not submit 
any

[[Page 395]]

data previously submitted to EPA with no claims of confidentiality if 
the new submission includes: the office or person to whom the data were 
submitted; the date of submission; and, if appropriate, a standard 
literature citation as specified in Sec. 725.160(a)(3)(ii).
    (ii) For data previously submitted to EPA with a claim of 
confidentiality, the person must resubmit the data with the new 
submission and any claim of confidentiality, under Sec. 725.80.
    (2) Efficacy data. This part does not require submission of any data 
related solely to product efficacy. However, including efficacy data 
will improve EPA's ability to assess the benefits of the use of the 
microorganism. This does not exempt a person from submitting any of the 
data specified in Sec. 725.160 or 725.260.
    (3) Non-U.S. exposure data. This part does not require submission of 
any data which relates only to exposure of humans or the environment 
outside the United States. This does not exclude nonexposure data such 
as data on health effects (including epidemiological studies), 
ecological effects, physical and chemical properties, or environmental 
fate characteristics.

be subject to TSCA;
    (E) Studies which indicate the potential for the microorganism to 
cause adverse effects to health or the environment; and
    (F) Studies which indicate the survival characteristics of the 
microorganism in the environment.
    (b) Processing of the Letter of Application by EPA--(1) Grant of the 
Application. If, after consideration of the Letter of Application and 
any other relevant information available to EPA, the Assistant 
Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances makes a 
preliminary determination that the new microorganism will not present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, the Assistant 
Administrator will propose a rule to grant the exemption using the 
applicable procedures in part 750 of this chapter.
    (2) Denial of the application. If the Assistant Administrator 
decides that the preliminary determination described in paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section cannot be made, the application will be denied by 
sending the applicant a written statement with the Assistant 
Administrator's reasons for denial.
    (c) Processing of the exemption--(1) Unreasonable risk standard. 
Granting a section 5(h)(4) exemption requires a determination that the 
activities will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
the environment.

[[Page 400]]

    (i) An unreasonable risk determination under the Act is an 
administrative judgment that requires balancing of the harm to health or 
the environment that a chemical substance may cause and the magnitude 
and severity of that harm, against the social and economic effects on 
society of EPA action to reduce that harm.
    (ii) A determination of unreasonable risk under section 5(h)(4) of 
the Act will examine the reasonably ascertainable economic and social 
consequences of granting or denying the exemption after consideration of 
the effect on the national economy, small business, technological 
innovation, the environment, and public health.
    (2) Grant of the exemption. The exemption will be granted if the 
Assistant Administrator determines, after consideration of all relevant 
evidence presented in the rulemaking proceeding described in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section, that the new microorganism will not present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (3) Denial of the exemption. The exemption will be denied if the 
Assistant Administrator determines, after consideration of all relevant 
evidence presented in the rulemaking proceeding described in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section, that the determination described in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section cannot be made. A final decision terminating the 
rulemaking proceeding will be published in the Federal Register.

    (2) Any person who asserts a claim of confidentiality for a use of a 
microorganism must provide the information as described in Sec. 725.88.
    (3) Any person who asserts a claim of confidentiality for 
information contained in a health and safety study of a microorganism 
must provide the information described in Sec. 725.92.

[[Page 401]]

    (b) Any claim of confidentiality must accompany the information when 
it is submitted to EPA.
    (1) When a person submits any information under this part, including 
any attachments, for which claims of confidentiality are made, the 
claim(s) must be asserted by circling the specific information which is 
claimed and marking the page on which that information appears with an 
appropriate designation such as ``trade secret,'' ``TSCA CBI,'' or 
``confidential business information.''
    (2) If any information is claimed confidential, the person must 
submit two copies of the document including the claimed information.
    (i) One copy of the document must be complete. In that copy, the 
submitter must mark the information which is claimed as confidential in 
the manner prescribed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (ii) The second copy must be complete except that all information 
claimed as confidential in the first copy must be deleted. EPA will 
place the second copy in the public file.
    (iii) If the submitter does not provide the second copy, the 
submission is incomplete and the review period does not begin to run 
until EPA receives the second copy, in accordance with Sec. 725.33.
    (iv) Any information contained within the copy submitted under 
paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section which has been in the public file 
for more than 30 days will be presumed to be in the public domain, 
notwithstanding any assertion of confidentiality made under this 
section.
    (3) A person who submits information to EPA under this part must 
reassert a claim of confidentiality and substantiate the claim each time 
the information is submitted to EPA.
    (c) Any person asserting a claim of confidentiality under this part 
must substantiate each claim in accordance with the requirements in 
Sec. 725.94.
    (d) EPA will disclose information that is subject to a claim of 
confidentiality asserted under this section only to the extent permitted 
by the Act, this subpart, and part 2 of this title.
    (e) If a submitter does not assert a claim of confidentiality for 
information at the time it is submitted to EPA, EPA may make the 
information public and place it in the public file without further 
notice to the submitter.



Sec. 725.85  Microorganism identity.

    (a) Claims applicable to the period prior to commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use--(1) When to make a 
claim. (i) A person who submits information to EPA under this part may 
assert a claim of confidentiality for portions of the specific 
microorganism identity at the time of submission of the information. 
This claim will apply only to the period prior to the commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use.
    (ii) A person who submits information to EPA under this part must 
reassert a claim of confidentiality and substantiate the claim each time 
the information is submitted to EPA. For example, if a person claims 
certain information confidential in a TERA submission and wishes the 
same information to remain confidential in a subsequent TERA or MCAN 
submission, the person must reassert and resubstantiate the claim in the 
subsequent submission.
    (2) Assertion of claim. (i) A submitter may assert a claim of 
confidentiality only if the submitter believes that public disclosure 
prior to commencement of manufacture or import for general commercial 
use of the fact that anyone is initiating research and development 
activities pertaining to the specific microorganism or intends to 
manufacture or import the specific microorganism for general commercial 
use would reveal confidential business information. Claims must be 
substantiated in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 725.94(a).
    (ii) If the submission includes a health and safety study concerning 
the microorganism and if the claim for confidentiality with respect to 
the specific identity is denied in accordance with Sec. 725.92(c), EPA 
will deny a claim asserted under paragraph (a) of this section.
    (3) Development of generic name. Any person who asserts a claim of 
confidentiality for portions of the specific

[[Page 402]]

microorganism identity under this paragraph must provide one of the 
following items at the time the submission is filed:
    (i) The generic name which was accepted by EPA in the prenotice 
consultation conducted under paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
    (ii) One generic name that is only as generic as necessary to 
protect the confidential identity of the particular microorganism. The 
name should reveal the specific identity to the maximum extent possible. 
The generic name will be subject to EPA review and approval.
    (4) Determination by EPA. (i) Any person who intends to assert a 
claim of confidentiality for the specific identity of a new 
microorganism may seek a determination by EPA of an appropriate generic 
name for the microorganism before filing a submission. For this purpose, 
the person should submit to EPA:
    (A) The specific identity of the microorganism.
    (B) A proposed generic name(s) which is only as generic as necessary 
to protect the confidential identity of the new microorganism. The 
name(s) should reveal the specific identity of the microorganism to the 
maximum extent possible.
    (ii) Within 30 days, EPA will inform the submitter either that one 
of the proposed generic names is adequate or that none is adequate and 
further consultation is necessary.
    (5) Use of generic name. If a submitter claims microorganism 
identity as confidential under paragraph (a) of this section, and if the 
submitter complies with paragraph (a)(2) of this section, EPA will issue 
for publication in the Federal Register notice described in Sec. 725.40 
the generic name proposed by the submitter or one agreed upon by EPA and 
the submitter.
    (b) Claims applicable to the period after commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use--(1) Maintaining claim. 
Any claim of confidentiality under paragraph (a) of this section is 
applicable only until the microorganism is manufactured or imported for 
general commercial use and becomes eligible for inclusion on the 
Inventory. To maintain the confidential status of the microorganism 
identity when the microorganism is added to the Inventory, a submitter 
must reassert the confidentiality claim and substantiate the claim in 
the notice of commencement of manufacture required under Sec. 725.190.
    (i) A submitter may not claim the microorganism identity 
confidential for the period after commencement of manufacture or import 
for general commercial use unless the submitter claimed the 
microorganism identity confidential under paragraph (a) of this section 
in the MCAN submitted for the microorganism.
    (ii) A submitter may claim the microorganism identity confidential 
for the period after commencement of manufacture or import for general 
commercial use if the submitter did not claim the microorganism identity 
confidential under paragraph (a) of this section in any TERA submitted 
for the microorganism, but subsequently did claim microorganism identity 
confidential in the MCAN submitted for the microorganism.
    (2) Assertion of claim. (i) A person who believes that public 
disclosure of the fact that anyone manufactures or imports the 
microorganism for general commercial use would reveal confidential 
business information may assert a claim of confidentiality under 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (ii) If the notice includes a health and safety study concerning the 
new microorganism, and if the claim for confidentiality with respect to 
the microorganism identity is denied in accordance with Sec. 725.92(c), 
EPA will deny a claim asserted under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (3) Requirements for assertion. Any person who asserts a 
confidentiality claim for microorganism identity must:
    (i) Comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(3) of this section 
regarding submission of a generic name.
    (ii) Agree that EPA may disclose to a person with a bona fide intent 
to manufacture or import the microorganism the fact that the particular 
microorganism is included on the confidential Inventory for purposes of 
notification under section 5(a)(1)(A) of the Act.

[[Page 403]]

    (iii) Have available and agree to furnish to EPA upon request the 
taxonomic designations and supplemental information required by 
Sec. 725.12.
    (iv) Provide a detailed written substantiation of the claim, in 
accordance with the requirements of Sec. 725.94(b).
    (4) Denial of claim. If the submitter does not meet the requirements 
of paragraph (b) of this section, EPA will deny the claim of 
confidentiality.
    (5) Acceptance of claim. (i) EPA will publish a generic name on the 
public Inventory if:
    (A) The submitter asserts a claim of confidentiality in accordance 
with this paragraph.
    (B) No claim for confidentiality of the microorganism identity as 
part of a health and safety study has been denied in accordance with 
part 2 of this title or Sec. 725.92.
    (ii) Publication of a generic name on the public Inventory does not 
create a category for purposes of the Inventory. Any person who has a 
bona fide intent to manufacture or import a microorganism which is 
described by a generic name on the public Inventory may submit an 
inquiry to EPA under Sec. 725.15(b) to determine whether the particular 
microorganism is included on the confidential Inventory.
    (iii) Upon receipt of a request described in Sec. 725.15(b), EPA may 
require the submitter who originally asserted confidentiality for a 
microorganism to submit to EPA the information listed in paragraph 
(b)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (iv) Failure to submit any of the information required under 
paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section within 10 calendar days of receipt 
of a request by EPA under paragraph (b) of this section will constitute 
a waiver of the original submitter's confidentiality claim. In this 
event, EPA may place the specific microorganism identity on the public 
Inventory without further notice to the original submitter.
    (6) Use of generic name on the public Inventory. If a submitter 
asserts a claim of confidentiality under paragraph (b) of this section, 
EPA will examine the generic microorganism name proposed by the 
submitter.
    (i) If EPA determines that the generic name proposed by the 
submitter is only as generic as necessary to protect the confidential 
identity of the particular microorganism, EPA will place that generic 
name on the public Inventory.
    (ii) If EPA determines that the generic name proposed by the 
submitter is more generic than necessary to protect the confidential 
identity, EPA will propose in writing, for review by the submitter, an 
alternative generic name that will reveal the identity of the 
microorganism to the maximum extent possible.
    (iii) If the generic name proposed by EPA is acceptable to the 
submitter, EPA will place that generic name on the public Inventory.
    (iv) If the generic name proposed by EPA is not acceptable to the 
submitter, the submitter must explain in detail why disclosure of that 
generic name would reveal confidential business information and propose 
another generic name which is only as generic as necessary to protect 
the confidential identity of the microorganism. If EPA does not receive 
a response from the submitter within 30 days after the submitter 
receives the proposed name, EPA will place EPA's chosen generic name on 
the public Inventory. If the submitter does provide the information 
requested, EPA will review the response. If the submitter's proposed 
generic name is acceptable, EPA will publish that generic name on the 
public Inventory. If the submitter's proposed generic name is not 
acceptable, EPA will notify the submitter of EPA's choice of a generic 
name. Thirty days after this notification, EPA will place the chosen 
generic name on the public Inventory.



Sec. 725.88  Uses of a microorganism.

    (a) Assertion of claim. A person who submits information to EPA 
under this part on the categories or proposed categories of use of a 
microorganism may assert a claim of confidentiality for this 
information.
    (b) Requirements for claim. A submitter that asserts such a claim 
must:
    (1) Report the categories or proposed categories of use of the 
microorganism.
    (2) Provide, in nonconfidential form, a description of the uses that 
is only as generic as necessary to protect the confidential business 
information. The

[[Page 404]]

generic use description will be included in the Federal Register notice 
described in Sec. 725.40.
    (c) Generic use description. The person must submit the information 
required by paragraph (b) of this section by describing the uses as 
precisely as possible, without revealing the information which is 
claimed confidential, to disclose as much as possible how the use may 
result in human exposure to the microorganism or its release to the 
environment.



Sec. 725.92  Data from health and safety studies of microorganisms.

    (a) Information other than specific microorganism identity. Except 
as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, EPA will deny any claim of 
confidentiality with respect to information included in a health and 
safety study of a microorganism, unless the information would disclose 
confidential business information concerning:
    (1) Processes used in the manufacture or processing of a 
microorganism.
    (2) Information which is not in any way related to the effects of a 
microorganism on health or the environment, such as, the name of the 
submitting company, cost or other financial data, product development or 
marketing plans, and advertising plans, for which the person submits a 
claim of confidentiality in accordance with Sec. 725.80.
    (b) Microorganism identity--(1) Claims applicable to the period 
prior to commencement of manufacture or import for general commercial 
use. A claim of confidentiality for the period prior to commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use for the specific 
identity of a microorganism for which a health and safety study was 
submitted must be asserted in conjunction with a claim asserted under 
Sec. 725.85(a). The submitter must substantiate each claim in accordance 
with the requirements of Sec. 725.94(a).
    (2) Claims applicable to the period after commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use. To maintain the 
confidential status of the specific identity of a microorganism for 
which a health and safety study was submitted after commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use, the claim must be 
reasserted and substantiated in conjunction with a claim under 
Sec. 725.85(b). The submitter must substantiate each claim in accordance 
with the requirements of Sec. 725.94(b).
    (c) Denial of confidentiality claim. EPA will deny a claim of 
confidentiality for microorganism identity under paragraph (b) of this 
section, unless:
    (1) The information would disclose processes used in the manufacture 
or processing of a microorganism.
    (2) The microorganism identity is not necessary to interpret a 
health and safety study.
    (d) Use of generic names. When EPA discloses a health and safety 
study containing a microorganism identity, which the submitter has 
claimed confidential, and if the Agency has not denied the claim under 
paragraph (c) of this section, EPA will identify the microorganism by 
the generic name selected under Sec. 725.85.



Sec. 725.94  Substantiation requirements.

    (a) Claims applicable to the period prior to commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use--(1) MCAN, TME, Tier I 
certification, and Tier II exemption request requirements. Any person 
who submits a MCAN, TME, Tier I certification, or Tier II exemption 
request should strictly limit confidentiality claims to that information 
which is confidential and proprietary to the business.
    (i) If any information in the submission is claimed as confidential 
business information, the submitter must substantiate each claim by 
submitting written answers to the questions in paragraphs (c), (d), and 
(e) of this section at the time the person submits the information.
    (ii) If the submitter does not provide written substantiation as 
required in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, the submission will be 
considered incomplete and the review period will not begin in accordance 
with Sec. 725.33.
    (2) TERA requirements. Any person who submits a TERA, should 
strictly limit confidentiality claims to that information which is 
confidential and proprietary to the business. If any information in such 
a submission is

[[Page 405]]

claimed as confidential business information, the submitter must have 
available for each of those claims, and agree to furnish to EPA upon 
request, written answers to the questions in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 
this section.
    (b) Claims applicable to the period after commencement of 
manufacture or import for general commercial use. (1) If a submitter 
claimed portions of the microorganism identity confidential in the MCAN 
and wants the identity to be listed on the confidential Inventory, the 
claim must be reasserted and substantiated at the time the Notice of 
Commencement (NOC) is submitted under Sec. 725.190. Otherwise, EPA will 
list the specific microorganism identity on the public Inventory.
    (2) The submitter must substantiate the claim for confidentiality of 
the microorganism identity by answering all of the questions in 
paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) in this section. In addition, the following 
questions must be answered:
    (i) What harmful effects to the company's or institution's 
competitive position, if any, would result if EPA publishes on the 
Inventory the identity of the microorganism? How could a competitor use 
such information given the fact that the identity of the microorganism 
otherwise would appear on the TSCA Inventory with no link between the 
microorganism and the company or institution? How substantial would the 
harmful effects of disclosure be? What is the causal relationship 
between the disclosure and the harmful effects?
    (ii) Has the identity of the microorganism been kept confidential to 
the extent that competitors do not know it is being manufactured or 
imported for general commercial use by anyone?
    (c) General questions. The following questions must be answered in 
detail for each confidentiality claim:
    (1) For what period of time is a claim of confidentiality being 
asserted? If the claim is to extend until a certain event or point in 
time, indicate that event or time period. Explain why the information 
should remain confidential until such point.
    (2) Briefly describe any physical or procedural restrictions within 
the company or institution relating to the use and storage of the 
information claimed as confidential. What other steps, if any, apply to 
use or further disclosure of the information?
    (3) Has the information claimed as confidential been disclosed to 
individuals outside of the company or institution? Will it be disclosed 
to such persons in the future? If so, what restrictions, if any, apply 
to use or further disclosure of the information?
    (4) Does the information claimed as confidential appear, or is it 
referred to, in any of the following questions? If the answer is yes to 
any of these questions, indicate where the information appears and 
explain why it should nonetheless be treated as confidential.
    (i) Advertising or promotional materials for the microorganism or 
the resulting end product?
    (ii) Material safety data sheets or other similar materials for the 
microorganism or the resulting end product?
    (iii) Professional or trade publications?
    (iv) Any other media available to the public or to competitors?
    (v) Patents?
    (vi) Local, State, or Federal agency public files?
    (5) Has EPA, another Federal agency, a Federal court, or a State 
made any confidentiality determination regarding the information claimed 
as confidential? If so, provide copies of such determinations.
    (6) For each type of information claimed confidential, describe the 
harm to the company's or institution's competitive position that would 
result if this information were disclosed. Why would this harm be 
substantial? How could a competitor use such information? What is the 
causal connection between the disclosure and harm?
    (7) If EPA disclosed to the public the information claimed as 
confidential, how difficult would it be for the competitor to enter the 
market for the resulting product? Consider such constraints as capital 
and marketing cost, specialized technical expertise, or unusual 
processes.
    (d) Microorganism identity and production method. If confidentiality 
claims are asserted for the identity of the microorganism or information 
on how the microorganism is produced, the following questions must be 
answered:

[[Page 406]]

    (1) Has the microorganism or method of production been patented in 
the U.S. or elsewhere? If so, why is confidentiality necessary?
    (2) Does the microorganism leave the site of production or testing 
in a form which is accessible to the public or to competitors? What is 
the cost to a competitor, in time and money, to develop appropriate use 
conditions? What factors facilitate or impede product analysis?
    (3) For each additional type of information claimed as confidential, 
explain what harm would result from disclosure of each type of 
information if the identity of the microorganism were to remain 
confidential.
    (e) Health and safety studies of microorganisms. If confidentiality 
claims are asserted for information in a health or safety study of a 
microorganism, the following questions must be answered:
    (1) Would the disclosure of the information claimed confidential 
reveal: confidential process information, or information unrelated to 
the effects of the microorganism on health and the environment. Describe 
the causal connection between the disclosure and harm.
    (2) Does the company or institution assert that disclosure of the 
microorganism identity is not necessary to interpret any health and 
safety studies which have been submitted? If so, explain how a less 
specific identity would be sufficient to interpret the studies.



Sec. 725.95  Public file.

    All information submitted, including any health and safety study of 
a microorganism and other supporting documentation, will become part of 
the public file for that submission, unless such materials are claimed 
confidential. In addition, EPA may add materials to the public file, 
unless such materials are claimed confidential. Any of the 
nonconfidential material described in this subpart will be available for 
public inspection in the TSCA Public Docket Office, Rm. NE-B607, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC, between the hours of noon to 4 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, excluding legal holidays.



  Subpart D--Microbial Commercial Activities Notification Requirements



Sec. 725.100  Scope and purpose.

    (a) This subpart establishes procedures for submission of a notice 
to EPA under section 5(a) of the Act for persons who manufacture, 
import, or process microorganisms for commercial purposes. This notice 
is called a Microbial Commercial Activity Notice (MCAN). It is expected 
that MCANs will in general only be submitted for microorganisms intended 
for general commercial use. Persons who manufacture, import, or process 
a microorganism in small quantities solely for research and development 
as defined in Sec. 725.3 are not required to submit a notice to EPA. 
Persons who manufacture, import, or process a microorganism for research 
and development activities that do not fit the definition of small 
quantities solely for research and development may nonetheless qualify 
for more limited reporting requirements in Subpart E, including the TERA 
which can be used for review of research and development involving 
environmental release.
    (b) Persons subject to MCAN submission are described in 
Sec. 725.105.
    (c) Exclusions and exemptions specific to MCAN submissions are 
described in Sec. 725.110.
    (d) Submission requirements applicable specifically to MCANs are 
described at Sec. 725.150.
    (e) Data requirements for MCANs are set forth in Secs. 725.155 and 
725.160.
    (f) EPA review procedures specific to MCANs are set forth in 
Sec. 725.170.
    (g) Subparts A through C of this part apply to any MCAN submitted 
under this subpart.



Sec. 725.105  Persons who must report.

    (a) Manufacturers of new microorganisms. (1) MCAN submission is 
required for any person who intends to manufacture for commercial 
purposes in the United States a new microorganism. Exclusions are 
described in Sec. 725.110.
    (2) If a person contracts with a manufacturer to produce or process 
a new microorganism and the manufacturer produces or processes the 
microorganism exclusively for that person, and

[[Page 407]]

that person specifies the identity of the microorganism, and controls 
the total amount produced and the basic technology for the plant 
process, then that person must submit the MCAN. If it is unclear who 
must report, EPA should be contacted to determine who must submit the 
MCAN.
    (3) Only manufacturers that are incorporated, licensed, or doing 
business in the United States may submit a MCAN.
    (b) Importers of new microorganisms. (1) MCAN submission is required 
for a person who intends to import into the United States for commercial 
purposes a new microorganism. Exclusions are described in Sec. 725.110.
    (2) When several persons are involved in an import transaction, the 
MCAN must be submitted by the principal importer. If no one person fits 
the principal importer definition in a particular transaction, the 
importer should contact EPA to determine who must submit the MCAN for 
that transaction.
    (3) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section, the provisions of this subpart D apply to each person who 
submits a MCAN for a new microorganism which such person intends to 
import for a commercial purpose. In addition, each importer must comply 
with paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
    (4) EPA will hold the principal importer, or the importer that EPA 
determines must submit the MCAN when there is no principal importer 
under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, liable for complying with this 
part, for completing the MCAN, and for the completeness and truthfulness 
of all information which it submits.
    (c) Manufacturers, importers, or processors of microorganisms for a 
significant new use. MCAN submission is required for any person who 
intends to manufacture, import, or process for commercial purposes a 
microorganism identified as having one or more significant new uses in 
subpart M of this part, and who intends either to engage in a designated 
significant new use of the microorganism or intends to distribute it in 
commerce. Persons excluded from reporting on significant new uses of 
microorganisms and additional procedures for reporting are described in 
subpart L of this part.



Sec. 725.110  Persons not subject to this subpart.

    Persons are not subject to the requirements of this subpart for the 
following activities:
    (a) Manufacturing, importing, or processing solely for research and 
development microorganisms that meet the requirements for an exemption 
under subpart E of this part.
    (b) Manufacturing, importing, or processing microorganisms for test 
marketing activities which have been granted an exemption under subpart 
F of this part.
    (c) Manufacturing or importing new microorganisms under the 
conditions of a Tier I or Tier II exemption under subpart G of this 
part.



Sec. 725.150  Procedural requirements for this subpart.

    General requirements for all MCANs under this part are contained in 
subparts A through C of this part. In addition, the following 
requirements apply to MCANs submitted under this subpart:
    (a) When to submit a MCAN. A MCAN must be submitted at least 90 
calendar days prior to manufacturing or importing a new microorganism 
and at least 90 calendar days prior to manufacturing, importing, or 
processing a microorganism for a significant new use.
    (b) Section 5(b) of the Act. The submitter must comply with any 
applicable requirement of section 5(b) of the Act for the submission of

include the information specified in paragraphs (c) through (h) of this 
section,

[[Page 408]]

to the extent it is known to or reasonably ascertainable by that person. 
However, no person is required to include information which relates 
solely to exposure of humans or ecological populations outside of the 
United States.
    (b) Each person should also submit, in writing, all other 
information known to or reasonably ascertainable by that person that 
would permit EPA to make a reasoned evaluation of the health and 
environmental effects of the microorganism, or any microbial mixture or 
article, including information on its effects on humans, animals, 
plants, and other microorganisms, and in the environment. The 
information to be submitted under this subpart includes the information

sufficient information to allow the microorganism to be accurately and 
unambiguously identified for listing purposes as required by 
Sec. 725.12.
    (1) Description of the recipient microorganism and the new 
microorganism. (i) Data substantiating the taxonomy of the recipient 
microorganism and the new microorganism to the level of strain, as 
appropriate. In lieu of data, EPA will accept a letter from a culture 
collection substantiating taxonomy, provided EPA, upon request to the 
submitter, may have access to the data supporting the taxonomic 
designation.
    (ii) Information on the morphological and physiological features of 
the new microorganism.
    (iii) Other specific data by which the new microorganism may be 
uniquely identified for Inventory purposes.
    (2) Genetic construction of the new microorganism. (i) Data 
substantiating the taxonomy of the donor organism(s). In lieu of data, 
EPA will accept a letter from a culture collection substantiating 
taxonomy, provided EPA, upon request to the submitter, may have access 
to the data supporting the taxonomic designation.
    (ii) Description of the traits for which the new microorganism has

Sec. 725.288  Revocation or modification of TERA approval.

    (a) Significant questions about risk. (1) If, after approval of a 
TERA under this subpart, EPA receives information which raises 
significant questions about EPA's determination that the activity does 
not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, 
EPA will notify the submitter in writing of those questions.
    (2) The submitter may, within 10 days of receipt of EPA's notice, 
provide in writing additional information or arguments concerning the 
significance of the questions and whether EPA should modify or revoke 
the approval of the TERA.
    (3) After considering any such information and arguments, EPA will 
decide whether to change its determination regarding approval of the 
TERA.
    (i) If EPA determines that the activity will not present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, it will notify 
the submitter in writing. To make this finding, EPA may prescribe 
additional conditions which must be followed by the submitter.
    (ii) If EPA determines that it can no longer conclude that the 
activity will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
the environment, it will notify the submitter in writing that EPA is 
revoking its approval and state its reasons. In that event, the 
submitter must terminate the research and development activity within 48 
hours of receipt of the notice in accordance with directions provided by 
EPA in the notice.
    (b) Evidence of unreasonable risk. (1) If, after approval of a TERA 
under this subpart, EPA determines that the proposed research and 
development activity will present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment, EPA will notify the submitter in writing and 
state its reasons.
    (2) In the notice, EPA may prescribe additional safeguards to 
address or reduce the risk, or may instruct the submitter to suspend the 
research and development activities.
    (3) Within 48 hours, the submitter must implement the instructions 
contained in the notice. The submitter

R&D activity must be suspended or terminted, the submitter may resume 
the activity only upon written notice from EPA that EPA has approved 
resumption of the activity. In approving resumption of an activity, EPA 
may prescribe additional conditions which must be followed by the 
submitter.
    (c) Modifications. If, after approval of a TERA under this subpart, 
the submitter concludes that it is necessary to alter the conduct of the 
research and development activity in a manner which would result in the 
activity being different from that described in the TERA agreement and 
any conditions EPA prescribed in its approval, the submitter must inform 
the EPA contact for the TERA and may not modify the activity without the 
approval of EPA.

    (g) Escherichia coli K-12.
    (h) Penicillium roqueforti.
    (i) Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
    (j) Saccharomyces uvarum.



Sec. 725.421  Introduced genetic material.

    For a new microorganism to qualify for either exemption under this 
subpart, introduced genetic material must meet all of the criteria 
listed in this section.
    (a) Limited in size. The introduced genetic material must consist 
only of the following:
    (1) The structural gene(s) of interest.
    (2) The regulatory sequences permitting the expression of solely the 
gene(s) of interest.
    (3) Associated nucleotide sequences needed to move genetic material, 
including linkers, homopolymers, adaptors, transposons, insertion 
sequences, and restriction enzyme sites.
    (4) The nucleotide sequences needed for vector transfer.
    (5) The nucleotide sequences needed for vector maintenance.
    (b) Well-characterized. For introduced genetic material, well-
characterized means that the following have been determined:
    (1) The function of all of the products expressed from the 
structural gene(s).
    (2) The function of sequences that participate in the regulation of 
expression of the structural gene(s).
    (3) The presence or absence of associated nucleotide sequences and 
their associated functions, where associated nucleotide sequences are 
those sequences needed to move genetic material including linkers, 
homopolymers, adaptors, transposons, insertion sequences, and 
restriction enzyme sites.
    (c) Poorly mobilizable. The ability of the introduced genetic 
material to be transferred and mobilized is inactivated, with a 
resulting frequency of transfer of less than 10-8 transfer 
events per recipient.
    (d) Free of certain sequences. (1) The introduced genetic material 
must not contain a functional portion of any of the toxin-encoding 
sequences described in this paragraph (d).
    (i) For the purposes of this section, a functional portion of a 
toxin-encoding sequence means any sequence which codes for a polypeptide 
that has one of the following effects:
    (A) It directly or indirectly contributes to toxic effects in 
humans. Directly contributes to toxic effects in humans means those 
sequences encoding polypeptides that have direct toxicity to target 
cells. An example of a sequence which directly contributes to toxic 
effects in humans is one which encodes the portion of diphtheria toxin, 
listed in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, capable of interacting with 
elongation factor 2, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis in 
target respiratory, heart, kidney, and nerve tissues. Indirectly 
contributes to toxic effects in humans means a sequence whose encoded 
polypeptide is not directly toxic to target cells, yet still adversely 
affects humans. An example of a sequence which indirectly contributes to 
toxic effects is the sequence which encodes the portion of the botulinum 
toxin, listed in paragraph (d)(3) of this section, capable of blocking 
the release of acetylcholine from gangliosides. Botulinum toxin affects 
neuromuscular junctions by its blockage of acetylcholine release, 
leading to irreversible relaxation of muscles and respiratory arrest.
    (B) It binds a toxin or toxin precursor to target human cells.
    (C) It facilitates intracellular transport of a toxin in target 
human cells.
    (ii) While these toxins are listed (with synonyms in parentheses) in 
paragraphs (d)(2) through (d)(7) of this section according to the source 
organism, it is use of the nucleotide sequences that encode the toxins 
that is being restricted and not the use of the source organisms. The 
source organisms are listed to provide specificity in identification of 
sequences whose use is restricted. Although similar or identical 
sequences may be isolated from organisms other than those listed

[[Page 422]]

below in paragraphs (d)(2) through (d)(7) of this section, these 
comparable toxin sequences, regardless of the organism from which they 
are derived, must not be included in the introduced genetic material.

Sec. 725.470  EPA review of the Tier II exemption request.

    General procedures for review of all submissions under this part are 
contained in Secs. 725.28 through 725.60. In addition, the following 
procedures apply to EPA review of Tier II exemption requests submitted 
under this subpart:
    (a) Length of the review period. The review period for the request 
will be 45 days from the date the Document Control Officer for the 
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics receives a complete request, 
or the date EPA determines the request is complete under Sec. 725.33, 
unless the Agency extends the review period for good cause under 
Sec. 725.56.
    (b) Criteria for review. EPA will review the request to determine 
that the new microorganism complies with Sec. 725.428 and that its 
manufacture, processing, use, and disposal as described in the request 
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the 
environment.
    (c) EPA decision regarding the Tier II exemption request. A decision 
concerning a request under this subpart will be made by the 
Administrator, or a designee.
    (d) Determination that the microorganism is ineligible for a Tier II 
review. (1) EPA may determine that the manufacturer or importer is not 
eligible for Tier II review, because the microorganism does not meet the 
criteria under Sec. 725.428 or the Administrator, or a designee, decides 
that there is insufficient information to determine that the conditions 
of manufacture, processing, use, or disposal of the microorganism as 
described in the request will not present an unreasonable risk to health 
or the environment.
    (2) If the Agency makes this determination, the Administrator, or a 
designee will notify the manufacturer or importer by telephone, followed 
by a letter, that the request has been denied. The letter will explain 
reasons for the denial.
    (3) If the request is denied, the manufacturer or importer may 
submit the information necessary to constitute a MCAN under subpart D of 
this part.
    (e) Approval or denial of the Tier II exemption request. (1) No 
later than 45 days after EPA receives a request, the Agency will either 
approve or deny the request.
    (2) In approving a request, EPA may impose any restrictions 
necessary to ensure that the microorganism will not present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health and the environment as a result of 
general commercial use.
    (f) EPA may seek to enjoin the manufacture or import of a 
microorganism in violation of this subpart, or act to seize any 
microorganism manufactured or imported in violation of this section or 
take other actions under the authority of sections 7 or 17 of the Act.
    (g) A manufacturer or importer may only proceed after receipt of EPA 
approval.

issued under section 5(e) of the Act applicable to that person. If a 
provision of such section 5(e) order is inconsistent with a specific 
significant new use identified in subpart M of this part, abiding by the 
provision of the section 5(e) order exempts the person from submitting a 
MCAN for that specific significant new use.



Sec. 725.920  Exports and imports.

    (a) Exports. Persons who intend to export a microorganism identified 
in subpart M of this part, or in any proposed rule which would amend 
subpart M of this part, are subject to the export notification 
provisions of section 12(b) of the Act. The regulations that interpret 
section 12(b) appear at part 707 of this chapter.
    (b) Imports. Persons who import a substance identified in a specific 
section in subpart M of this part are subject to the import 
certification requirements under section 13 of the Act, which are 
codified at 19 CFR Secs. 12.118 through 12.127 and 127.28(i). The EPA 
policy in support of the import certification requirements appears at 
part 707 of this chapter.



Sec. 725.950  Additional recordkeeping requirements.

    Persons submitting a MCAN for a significant new use of a 
microorganism must comply with the recordkeeping requirements of 
Sec. 725.65. In addition, the following requirements apply:
    (a) At the time EPA adds a microorganism to subpart M of this part, 
EPA may specify appropriate recordkeeping requirements. Each 
manufacturer, importer, and processor of the microorganism shall 
maintain the records for 3 years from the date of their creation.
    (b) The records required to be maintained under this section may 
include the following:
    (1) Records documenting the information contained in the MCAN 
submitted to EPA.
    (2) Records documenting the manufacture and importation volume of 
the microorganism and the corresponding dates of manufacture and import.
    (3) Records documenting volumes of the microorganism purchased 
domestically by processors of the microorganism, names and addresses of 
suppliers and corresponding dates of purchase.
    (4) Records documenting the names and addresses (including shipment 
destination address, if different) of all persons outside the site of 
manufacture or import to whom the manufacturer, importer, or processor 
directly sells or transfers the microorganism, the date of each sale or 
transfer, and the quantity of the microorganism sold or transferred on 
such date.



Sec. 725.975  EPA approval of alternative control measures.

    (a) In certain sections of subpart M of this part, significant new 
uses for the identified microorganisms are described as the failure to 
establish and implement programs providing for the use of either: 
specific measures to control worker exposure to or release of 
microorganisms which are identified in such sections, or alternative 
measures to control worker exposure or environmental release which EPA 
has determined provide substantially the same degree of protection as 
the specified control measures. Persons who manufacture, import, or 
process a microorganism identified in such sections and who intend to 
employ alternative measures to control worker exposure or environmental 
release must submit a request to EPA for a determination of equivalency 
before commencing manufacture, import, or processing involving the 
alternative control measures.
    (b) A request for a determination of equivalency must be submitted 
in writing to the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Document 
Control Officer, 7407, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460: ATTN: SNUR 
Equivalency Determination, and must contain:
    (1) The name of the submitter.
    (2) The specific identity of the microorganism.

[[Page 429]]

    (3) The citation for the specific section in subpart M of this part 
which pertains to the microorganism for which the request is being 
submitted.
    (4) A detailed description of the activities involved.
    (5) The specifications of the alternative worker exposure control 
measures or environmental release control measures.
    (6) A detailed analysis explaining why such alternative control 
measures provide substantially the same degree of protection as the 
specific control measures identified in the specific section in subpart 
M of this part which pertains to the microorganism for which the request 
is being submitted.
    (7) The data and information described in Secs. 725.155 and 725.160. 
If such data and information have already been submitted to EPA's Office 
of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, the submitter need only document 
that it was previously submitted, to whom, and the date it was 
submitted.
    (c) Requests for determinations of equivalency will be reviewed by 
EPA within 45 days. Determinations under this paragraph will be made by 
the Director, or a designee. Notice of the results of such 
determinations will be mailed to the submitter.
    (d) If EPA notifies the submitter under paragraph (c) of this 
section that EPA has determined that the alternative control measures 
provide substantially the same degree of protection as the specified 
control measures identified in the specific section of subpart M of this 
part which pertains to the microorganism for which the request is being 
submitted, the submitter may commence manufacture, import, or processing 
in accordance with the specifications for alternative worker exposure 
control measures or environmental release control measures identified in 
the submitter's request, and may alter any corresponding notification to 
workers to reflect such alternative controls. Deviations from the 
activities described in the EPA notification constitute a significant 
new use and are subject to the requirements of this part.



Sec. 725.980  Expedited procedures for issuing significant new use rules for microorganisms subject to section 5(e) orders.

    (a) Selection of microorganisms. (1) In accordance with the 
expedited process specified in this section, EPA will issue significant 
new use notification requirements for each new microorganism that, after 
MCAN review under subpart D of this part, becomes subject to a final 
order issued under section 5(e) of the Act, except for an order that 
prohibits manufacture and import of the microorganism, unless EPA 
determines that significant new use notification requirements are not 
needed for the microorganism.
    (2) If EPA determines that significant new use notifications 
requirements are not needed for a microorganism that is subject to a 
final order issued under section 5(e) of the Act, EPA will issue a 
notice in the Federal Register explaining why the significant new use 
requirements are not needed.
    (b) Designation of requirements. (1) The significant new use 
notification and other specific requirements will be based on and be 
consistent with the provisions included in the final order issued for 
the microorganism under section 5(e) of the Act. EPA may also designate 
additional activities as significant new uses which will be subject to 
notification.
    (2) Significant new use requirements and other specific requirements 
designated under this section will be listed in subpart M of this part. 
For each microorganism, subpart M of this part will identify:
    (i) The microorganism name.
    (ii) The activities designated as significant new uses.
    (iii) Other specific requirements applicable to the microorganism, 
including recordkeeping requirements or any other requirements included 
in the final section 5(e) order.
    (c) Procedures for issuing significant new use rules. (1) Possible 
processes. EPA will issue significant new use rules (SNURs) under this 
section by one of the following three processes: direct final 
rulemaking, interim final rulemaking, or notice and comment rulemaking. 
EPA will use the direct final

[[Page 430]]

rulemaking process to issue significant new use rules unless it 
determines that, in a particular case, one of the other processes is 
more appropriate.
    (2) Notice in the Federal Register. Federal Register documents 
issued to propose or establish significant new uses under this section 
will contain the following:
    (i) The microorganism identity or, if its specific identity is 
claimed confidential, an appropriate generic microorganism name and an 
accession number assigned by EPA.
    (ii) The MCAN number.
    (iii) A summary of EPA's findings under section 5(e)(1)(A) of the 
Act for the final order issued under section 5(e).
    (iv) Designation of the significant new uses subject to, or proposed 
to be subject to, notification and any other applicable requirements.
    (v) Any modification of subpart L of this part applicable to the 
specific microorganism and significant new uses.
    (vi) If the Federal Register document establishes a final rule, or 
notifies the public that a final rule will not be issued after public 
comment has been received, the document will describe comments received 
and EPA's response.
    (3) Direct final rulemaking. (i) EPA will use direct final 
rulemaking to issue a significant new use rule, when specific 
requirements will be based on and be consistent with the provisions 
included in the final order issued for the microorganism under section 
5(e) of the Act. EPA will issue a final rule in the Federal Register 
following its decision to develop a significant new use rule under this 
section for a specific new microorganism.
    (ii) The Federal Register document will state that, unless written 
notice is received by EPA within 30 days of publication that someone 
wishes to submit adverse or critical comments, the rule will be 
effective 60 days from the date of publication. The written notice of 
intent to submit adverse or critical comments should state which SNUR(s) 
will be the subject of the adverse or critical comments, if several 
SNURs are established through the direct final rule. If notice is 
received within 30 days that someone wishes to submit adverse or 
critical comments, the section(s) of the direct final rule containing 
the SNUR(s) for which a notice of intent to comment was received will be 
withdrawn by EPA issuing a document in the final rule section of the 
Federal Register, and a proposal will be published in the proposed rule 
section of the Federal Register. The proposal will establish a 30-day 
comment period.
    (iii) If EPA, having considered any timely comments submitted in 
response to the proposal, decides to establish notification requirements 
under this section, EPA will issue a final rule adding the microorganism 
to subpart M of this part and designating the significant new uses 
subject to notification.
    (4) Interim final rulemaking. (i) EPA will use the interim final 
rulemaking procedure to issue a significant new use rule, when specific 
requirements will be based on and be consistent with the provisions 
included in the final order issued for the microorganism under section 
5(e) of the Act. The Agency will issue an interim final rule in the 
Federal Register following its decision to develop a significant new use 
rule for a specific new microorganism. The document will state EPA's 
reasons for using the interim final rulemaking procedure.
    (A) The significant new use rule will take effect on the date of 
publication.
    (B) Persons will be given 30 days from the date of publication to 
submit comments.
    (ii) Interim final rules issued under this section shall cease to be 
in effect 180 days after publication unless, within the 180-day period, 
EPA issues a final rule in the Federal Register responding to any 
written comments received during the 30-day comment period specified in 
paragraph (c)(4)(i)(B) of this section and promulgating final 
significant new use notification requirements and other requirements for 
the microorganism.
    (5) Notice and comment rulemaking. (i) EPA will use a notice and 
comment procedure to issue a significant new use rule, when EPA is 
designating additional activities which are not provisions included in 
the final order issued for the microorganism under section

[[Page 431]]

5(e) of the Act as significant new uses which will be subject to 
notification. EPA will issue a proposal in the Federal Register 
following its decision to develop a significant new use rule under this 
section for a specific new microorganism. Persons will be given 30 days 
to comment on whether EPA should establish notification requirements for 
the microorganism under this part.
    (ii) If EPA, having considered any timely comments, decides to 
establish notification requirements under this section, EPA will issue a 
final rule adding the microorganism to subpart M of this part and 
designating the significant new uses subject to notification.
    (d) Schedule for issuing significant new use rules. (1) Unless EPA 
determines that a significant new use rule should not be issued under 
this section, EPA will issue a proposed rule, a direct final rule, or an 
interim final rule within 180 days of receipt of a valid notice of 
commencement under Sec. 725.190.
    (2) If EPA receives adverse or critical significant comments 
following publication of a proposed or interim final rule, EPA will 
either withdraw the rule or issue a final rule addressing the comments 
received.



Sec. 725.984  Modification or revocation of certain notification requirements.

    (a) Criteria for modification or revocation. EPA may at any time 
modify or revoke significant new use notification requirements for a 
microorganism which has been added to subpart M of this part using the 
procedures of Sec. 725.980. Such action may be taken under this section 
if EPA makes one of the following determinations, unless other 
information shows that the requirements should be retained:
    (1) Test data or other information obtained by EPA provide a 
reasonable basis for concluding that activities designated as 
significant new uses of the microorganism will not present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (2) EPA has promulgated a rule under section 4 or 6 of the Act, or 
EPA or another agency has taken action under another law, for the 
microorganism that eliminates the need for significant new use 
notification under section 5(a)(2) of the Act.
    (3) EPA has received MCANs for some or all of the activities 
designated as significant new uses of the microorganism and, after 
reviewing such MCANs, concluded that there is no need to require 
additional notice from persons who propose to engage in identical or 
similar activities.
    (4) EPA has examined new information, or has reexamined the test 
data or other information supporting its finding under section 
5(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act and has concluded that a rational basis no 
longer exists for the findings that activities involving the 
microorganism may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
the environment required under section 5(e)(1)(A) of the Act.
    (5) Certain activities involving the microorganism have been 
designated as significant new uses pending the completion of testing, 
and adequate test data developed in accordance with applicable 
procedures and criteria have been submitted to EPA.
    (b) Procedures for limitation or revocation. Modification or 
revocation of significant new use notification requirements for a 
microorganism that has been added to subpart M of this part using the 
procedures described in Sec. 725.980 may occur either at EPA's 
initiative or in response to a written request.
    (1) Any affected person may request modification or revocation of 
significant new use notification requirements for a microorganism that 
has been added to subpart M of this part using the procedures described 
in Sec. 725.980 by writing to the Director, or a designee, and stating 
the basis for such request. The request must be accompanied by 
information sufficient to support the request. All requests should be 
sent to the TSCA Document Processing Center (7407), Room L-100, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460, 
ATTN: Request to amend SNUR.
    (2) The Director, or a designee, will consider the request, make a 
determination whether to initiate rulemaking to modify the requirements,

[[Page 432]]

and notify the requester of that determination by certified letter. If 
the request is denied, the letter will explain why EPA has concluded 
that the significant new use notification requirements for that 
microorganism should remain in effect.
    (3) If EPA concludes that significant new use notification 
requirements for a microorganism should be limited or revoked, EPA will 
propose the changes in a notice in the Federal Register, briefly 
describe the grounds for the action, and provide interested parties an 
opportunity to comment.

Sec. 745.80   Purpose.

    This subpart contains regulations developed under Title IV (15 
U.S.C. 2681-2692) of the Toxic Substances Control Act and applies to all 
renovations of target housing performed for compensation. The purpose of 
this subpart is to require each person who performs a renovation of 
target housing for compensation to provide a lead hazard information 
pamphlet to the owner and occupant of such housing prior to commencing 
the renovation.



Sec. 745.81   Effective date.

    The requirements in this subpart shall take effect on June 1, 1999.



Sec. 745.82   Applicability.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, this 
subpart applies to all renovations of target housing performed for 
compensation.
    (b) This subpart does not apply to renovation activities that are 
limited to the following:
    (1) Minor repair and maintenance activities (including minor 
electrical work and plumbing) that disrupt 2 square feet or less of 
painted surface per component.
    (2) Emergency renovation operations.
    (3) Renovations in target housing in which a written determination 
has been made by an inspector (certified pursuant to either Federal 
regulations at Sec. 745.226 or a State or Tribal certification program 
authorized pursuant to Sec. 745.324) that the components affected by the 
renovation are free of paint or other surface coatings that contain lead 
equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter or 0.5 
percent by weight, where the renovator has obtained a copy of the 
determination.



Sec. 745.83   Definitions.

    For purposes of this part, the definitions in Sec. 745.103 as well 
as the following definitions apply:
    Administrator means the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency.
    Emergency renovation operations means renovation activities, such as 
operations necessitated by non-routine failures of equipment, that were 
not planned but result from a sudden, unexpected event that, if not 
immediately attended to, presents a safety or public health hazard, or 
threatens equipment and/or property with significant damage.
    Multi-family housing means a housing property consisting of more 
than four dwelling units.
    Pamphlet means the EPA pamphlet developed under section 406(a) of 
TSCA for use in complying with this and other rulemakings under Title IV 
of TSCA and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, or 
any State or Tribal pamphlet approved by EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 745.326

section, if the owner does not occupy the dwelling unit, provide an 
adult occupant of the unit with the pamphlet, and comply with one of the 
following:
    (i) Obtain, from the adult occupant, a written acknowledgment that 
the occupant has received the pamphlet; or certify in writing that a 
pamphlet has been delivered to the dwelling and that the renovator has 
been unsuccessful in obtaining a written acknowledgment from an adult 
occupant. Such certification must include the address of the unit 
undergoing renovation, the date and method of delivery of the pamphlet, 
names of the persons delivering the pamphlet, reason for lack of 
acknowledgment (e.g., occupant refuses to sign, no adult occupant 
available), the signature of the renovator, and the date of signature.
    (ii) Obtain a certificate of mailing at least 7 days prior to the 
renovation.
    (b) Renovations in common areas. No more than 60 days before 
beginning renovation activities in common areas of multi-family housing, 
the renovator shall:
    (1) Provide the owner with the pamphlet, and comply with one of the 
following:
    (i) Obtain, from the owner, a written acknowledgment that the owner 
has received the pamphlet.
    (ii) Obtain a certificate of mailing at least 7 days prior to the 
renovation.
    (2) Notify in writing, or ensure written notification of, each unit 
of the multi-family housing and make the pamphlet available upon request 
prior to the start of renovation. Such notification shall be 
accomplished by distributing written notice to each affected unit. The 
notice shall describe the general nature and locations of the planned 
renovation activities; the expected starting and ending dates; and a 
statement of how the occupant can obtain the pamphlet, at no charge, 
from the renovator.
    (3) Prepare, sign, and date a statement describing the steps 
performed to notify all occupants of the intended renovation activities 
and to provide the pamphlet.
    (4) If the scope, locations, or expected starting and ending dates 
of the planned renovation activities change after the initial 
notification, the renovator shall provide further written notification 
to the owners and occupants providing revised information on the ongoing 
or planned activities. This subsequent notification must be provided 
before the renovator initiates work beyond that which was described in 
the original notice.
    (c) Written acknowledgment. Sample language for such acknowledgments 
is provided in Sec. 745.88. The written acknowledgments required in 
paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i), and (b)(1)(i) of this section shall:

[[Page 435]]

    (1) Include a statement recording the owner or occupant's name and 
acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet prior to the start of renovation, 
the address of the unit undergoing renovation, the signature of the 
owner or occupant as applicable, and the date of signature.

service agreement for the renovation.
    (3) Be written in the same language as the text of the contract or 
agreement for the renovation or, in the case of non-owner occupied 
target housing, in the same language as the lease or rental agreement or 
the pamphlet.



Sec. 745.86   Recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) Renovators shall retain and, if requested, make available to EPA 
all records necessary to demonstrate compliance with this subpart for a 
period of 3 years following completion of the renovation activities in 
target housing. This 3-year retention requirement does not supersede 
longer obligations required by other provisions for retaining the same 
documentation, including any applicable State or Tribal laws or 
regulations.
    (b) Records that must be retained pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section shall include (where applicable):
    (1) Reports certifying that a determination had been made by an 
inspector (certified pursuant to either Federal regulations at 
Sec. 745.226 or an EPA-authorized State or Tribal certification program) 
that lead-based paint is not present in the area affected by the 
renovation, as described in Sec. 745.82(b)(vi).
    (2) Signed and dated acknowledgments of receipt as described in 
Sec. 745.85(a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i), and (b)(1)(i).

conducted as appropriate based upon the extent or manner of abatement 
activities conducted in or to the residential dwelling or child-occupied 
facility:
    (A) After conducting an abatement with containment between abated 
and unabated areas, one dust sample shall be taken from one window (if 
available) and one dust sample shall be taken from the floor of no less 
than four rooms, hallways or stairwells within the containment area. In 
addition, one dust sample shall be taken from the floor outside the 
containment area. If there are less than four rooms, hallways or 
stairwells within the containment area, then all rooms, hallways or 
stairwells shall be sampled.
    (B) After conducting an abatement with no containment, two dust 
samples shall be taken from no less than four rooms, hallways or 
stairwells in the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility. One 
dust sample shall be taken from one window (if available) and one dust 
sample shall be taken from the floor of each room, hallway or stairwell 
selected. If there are less than four rooms, hallways or stairwells 
within the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility then all 
rooms, hallways or stairwells shall be sampled.
    (C) Following an exterior paint abatement, a visible inspection 
shall be conducted. All horizontal surfaces in the outdoor living area 
closest to the abated surface shall be found to be cleaned of visible 
dust and debris. In addition, a visual inspection shall be conducted to 
determine the presence of paint chips on the dripline or next to the 
foundation below any exterior surface abated. If paint chips are 
present, they must be removed from the site and properly disposed of, 
according to all applicable Federal, State and local requirements.
    (vi) The rooms, hallways or stairwells selected for sampling shall 
be selected according to documented methodologies.
    (vii) The certified inspector or risk assessor shall compare the 
residual lead level (as determined by the laboratory analysis) from each 
dust sample with applicable clearance levels for lead in dust on floors 
and windows. If the residual lead levels in a dust sample exceed the 
clearance levels, all the components represented by the failed sample 
shall be recleaned and retested until clearance levels are met.
    (9) In a multi-family dwelling with similarly constructed and 
maintained residential dwellings, random sampling for the purposes of 
clearance may be conducted provided:
    (i) The certified individuals who abate or clean the residential 
dwellings do not know which residential dwelling will be selected for 
the random sample.
    (ii) A sufficient number of residential dwellings are selected for 
dust sampling to provide a 95 percent level of confidence that no more 
than 5 percent or 50 of the residential dwellings (whichever is smaller) 
in the randomly sampled population exceed the appropriate clearance 
levels.
    (iii) The randomly selected residential dwellings shall be sampled 
and evaluated for clearance according to the procedures found in 
paragraph (e)(8) of this section.

[[Page 462]]

               Subpart Q--State and Indian Tribal Programs

    Source: 61 FR 45825, Aug. 29, 1996, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 745.320  Scope and purpose.

    (a) This subpart establishes the requirements that State or Tribal 
programs must meet for authorization by the Administrator to administer 
and enforce the standards, regulations, or other requirements 
established under TSCA section 402 and/or section 406 and establishes 
the procedures EPA will follow in approving, revising, and withdrawing 
approval of State or Tribal programs.
    (b) For State or Tribal lead-based paint training and certification 
programs, a State or Indian Tribe may seek authorization to administer 
and enforce Secs. 745.225, 745.226, and 745.227. The provisions of 
Secs. 745.220, 745.223, 745.233, 745.235, 745.237, and 745.239 shall be 
applicable for the purposes of such program authorization.
    (c) For State or Tribal pre-renovation notification programs, a 
State or Indian Tribe may seek authorization to administer and enforce 
regulations developed pursuant to TSCA section 406.
    (d) A State or Indian Tribe applying for program authorization may 
seek either interim approval or final approval of the compliance and 
enforcement portion of the State or Tribal lead-based paint program 
pursuant to the procedures at Sec. 745.327(a).
    (e) State or Tribal submissions for program authorization shall 
comply with the procedures set out in this subpart.
    (f) Any State or Tribal program approved by the Administrator under 
this subpart shall at all times comply with the requirements of this 
subpart.
    (g) In many cases States will lack authority to regulate activities 
in Indian Country. This lack of authority does not impair a State's 
ability to obtain full program authorization in accordance with this 
subpart. EPA will administer the program in Indian Country if neither 
the State nor Indian Tribe has been granted program authorization by 
EPA.

representatives of the State or Indian Tribe and EPA officials.
    (4) Prior to issuance of a withdrawal, a State or Indian Tribe may 
request that EPA hold a public hearing. At this hearing, EPA, the State 
or Indian Tribe, and the public may present facts bearing on whether the 
State's or Indian Tribe's authorization should be withdrawn.
    (5) If EPA finds that deficiencies warranting withdrawal did not 
exist or were corrected by the State or Indian Tribe, EPA may rescind 
its Notice of Intent to Withdraw authorization.
    (6) Where EPA finds that deficiencies in the State or Tribal program 
exist that warrant withdrawal, an agreement to correct the deficiencies 
shall be jointly prepared by the State or Indian Tribe and EPA. The 
agreement shall describe the deficiencies found in the program, specify 
the steps the State or Indian Tribe has taken or will take to remedy the 
deficiencies, and establish a schedule, no longer than 180 days, for 
each remedial action to be initiated.
    (7) If the State or Indian Tribe does not respond within 60 days of 
issuance of the Notice of Intent to Withdraw or an agreement is not

compliance and enforcement program must demonstrate the ability to 
target inspections to ensure compliance with the lead-based paint 
program requirements. Such targeting must include a method for obtaining 
and using notifications of commencement of abatement activities.
    (6) Follow up to inspection reports. A State or Tribal lead-based 
paint compliance and enforcement program must demonstrate the ability to 
reasonably, and in a timely manner, process and follow-up on inspection 
reports and other information generated through enforcement-related 
activities associated with a lead-based paint program. The State or 
Tribal program must be in a position to ensure correction of violations 
and, as appropriate, effectively develop and issue enforcement remedies/
responses to follow up on the identification of violations.
    (7) Compliance monitoring and enforcement. A State or Tribal lead-
based paint compliance and enforcement program must demonstrate, in its 
application for approval, that it is in a position to implement a 
compliance monitoring and enforcement program. Such a compliance 
monitoring and enforcement program must ensure correction of violations, 
and encompass either planned and/or responsive lead-based paint 
compliance inspections and development/issuance of State or Tribal 
enforcement responses which are appropriate to the violations.
    (d) Summary on Progress and Performance. The Summary on Progress and 
Performance described below is part of the required elements for the 
compliance and enforcement program portion of a State or Tribal lead-
based paint program. A State or Tribal lead-based paint compliance and 
enforcement program must submit to the appropriate EPA Regional 
Administrator a report which summarizes the results of implementing the 
State or Tribal lead-based paint compliance and enforcement program, 
including a summary of the scope of the regulated community within the 
State or Indian Tribe (which would include the number of individuals and 
firms certified in lead-based paint activities and the number of 
training programs accredited), the inspections conducted, enforcement 
actions taken, compliance assistance provided, and the level of 
resources committed by the State or Indian Tribe to these activities. 
The report shall be submitted according to the requirements at 
Sec. 745.324(h).
    (e) Memorandum of Agreement. An Indian Tribe that obtains program 
approval must establish a Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional 
Administrator. The Memorandum of Agreement shall be executed by the 
Indian Tribe's counterpart to the State Director (e.g., the Director of 
Tribal Environmental Office, Program or Agency). The Memorandum of 
Agreement must include provisions for the timely and appropriate 
referral to the Regional Administrator for those criminal enforcement 
matters where that Indian Tribe does not have the authority (e.g., those 
addressing criminal violations by non-Indians or violations meriting 
penalties over $5,000). The Agreement must also identify any enforcement 
agreements that may exist between the Indian Tribe and any State.



Sec. 745.330  Grants.

   Subpart A--Procedures for Rulemaking Under Section 6 of the Toxic 
                         Substances Control Act

    Source: 42 FR 61259, Dec. 2, 1977, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 750.1  Applicability.

    This part applies to all rulemakings under authority of section 6 of 
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2605.



Sec. 750.2  Notice of proposed rulemaking.

    (a) Each rulemaking becomes subject to this part with the 
publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register. 
A proceeding under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act may 
begin, as appropriate, with the publication in the Federal Register of a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 
or notice of other action, such as a formal regulatory investigation 
designed to lead to issuance of rules within a reasonable time.
    (b) Each such notice shall contain:
    (1) A draft finding that there is a reasonable basis to conclude 
that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use or 
disposal of the chemical substance(s) or mixture(s) at issue, or any 
combination of such activities, presents or will present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (2) A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stating with particularity the 
reasons for the proposed rule together with a statement why the proposed 
rule protects adequately against the risk(s) involved using the least 
burdensome requirements authorized by TSCA.
    (3) Either the draft text of the proposed rule (which may include 
alternative approaches among which a final

[[Page 482]]

choice has not yet been made) or a description of the approaches and 
provisions being considered for inclusion in the rule, or some 
combination of the above.
    (4) Except for rules published under authority of section 6(e), a 
draft statement with respect to:
    (i) The effects of the substance(s) or mixture(s) at issue on health 
and the magnitude of the exposure of human beings to such substance(s) 
or mixture(s);
    (ii) The effects of the substace(s) or mixture(s) at issue on the 
environment and the magnitude of the exposure of the environment to such 
substance(s) or mixture(s).
    (iii) The benefits of the substance(s) or mixture(s) at issue for 
various uses and the availability of substitutes for such uses; and
    (iv) The reasonably ascertainable economic consequences of the rule, 
after consideration of the effect on the national economy, small 
business, technological innovation, the environment, and public health.
    (v) Major impacts of alternatives to the proposed rule shall also be 
analyzed.
    (5) In cases where the administrator, in his or her discretion, 
determines that a risk of injury to health or the environment could be 
eliminated or reduced to a sufficient extent by actions taken under a 
Federal law (or laws) other than TSCA administered in whole or in part 
by the Administrator, a finding that it is in the public interest to 
proceed against such risk under TSCA. Any such finding shall be 
accompanied by a brief statement discussing:
    (i) All relevant aspects of the risk;
    (ii) A comparison of the estimated costs of complying with actions 
taken under TSCA and under such other law (or laws); and
    (iii) The relative efficiency of actions under TSCA and under such 
other law (or laws) to protect against risk of injury.

Two or more or all of the statements required above may be combined in 
the same narrative for efficiency of exposition as long as each of the 
required points is discussed. Any statement required by this paragraph 
may reference other documents which are not published in the Federal 
Register. All such referenced documents shall be included in the 
rulemaking record. Either the statements required by this paragraph or 
the documents they reference shall contain a discussion of the factual, 
analytical, policy and legal considerations behind the agency decision 
to issue the proposed rule in the form chosen. A brief summary of these 
considerations shall be included in the preamble in any case. All 
factual materials and each analytical methodology seriously considered 
shall be fully disclosed. Significant areas of uncertainty known to the 
Agency under each heading shall be identified, and the manner in which 
the Agency intends to deal with them shall be specified.
    (c) In addition to the material required under paragraph (b) of this 
section, each notice of proposed rulemaking shall contain:
    (1) A statement of the time and place at which the informal hearing 
required by section 6(c)(2)(C) of TSCA shall begin, or, to the extent 
these are not specified, a statement that they will be specified later 
in a separate Federal Register notice Provided, That Federal Register 
notice of the date and city at which any informal hearing shall begin 
shall be given at least 30 days in advance;
    (2) A statement identifying the place at which the official record 
of the rulemaking is located, the hours during which it will be open for 
public inspection, the documents contained in it as of the date the 
notice of proposed rulemaking was issued, and a statement of the 
approximate times at which additional materials such as public comments, 
hearing transcripts, and agency studies in progress will be added to the 
record. If any material other than public comments or material generated 
by a hearing is added to the record after publication of the notice 
required by this section, and notice of its future addition was not 
given at the time of that initial publication, a separate Federal 
Register notice announcing its addition to the record and inviting 
comment shall be published;
    (3) The due date for public comments, which shall be at least two 
weeks prior

[[Page 483]]

to the informal hearing for main comments and no more than two weeks 
after the informal hearing for reply comments;
    (4) The name, address and office telephone number of the Record and 
Hearing Clerk for the rulemaking in question; and
    (5) A nonbinding target date for issuing the final rule.
[42 FR 61259, Dec. 1977, as amended at 54 FR 21623, May 19, 1989]



Sec. 750.3  Record.

    (a) No later than the date of proposal of a rule subject to this 
part, a rulemaking record for that rule shall be established. It shall 
consist of a separate identified filing space containing:
    (1) All documents required by Sec. 750.2(b);
    (2) All documents cited in the documents required by Sec. 750.2(b);
    (3) All public comments timely received;
    (4) All public hearing transcripts;
    (5) All material received during an informal hearing and accepted 
for the record of that hearing; and
    (6) Any other information which the Administrator considers to be 
relevant to such rule and which the Administrator identified, on or 
before the date of the promulgation of the rule, in a notice published 
in the Federal Register.

All material in the record shall be appropriately indexed. Each record 
shall be available for public inspection during normal Agency business 
hours. Appropriate arrangements allowing members of the public to copy 
record materials that do not risk the permanent loss of such materials 
shall be made. All material required to be included in the record shall 
be added to the record as soon as feasible after its receipt by the 
Agency.
    (b) The Record and Hearing Clerk for each rulemaking shall be 
responsible for Agency compliance with the requirements of paragraph (a) 
of this section.



Sec. 750.4  Public comments.

    (a) Main comments shall be postmarked or received no later than the 
time specified in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and shall contain 
all comments on and criticisms of that Notice by the commenting person, 
based on information which is or reasonably could have been available to 
that person at the time.
    (b) Reply comments shall be postmarked or received no later than two 
weeks after the close of all informal hearings on the proposed rule and 
shall be restricted to comments on:
    (1) Other comments;
    (2) Material in the hearing record; and
    (3) Material which was not and could not reasonably have been 
available to the commenting party a sufficient time before main comments 
were due.
    (c) Extensions of the time for filing comments may be granted in 
writing by the Record and Hearing Clerk. Application for an extension 
shall be made in writing. Comments submitted after the comment period 
and all extensions of it have expired need not be added to the 
rulemaking record and need not be considered in decisions concerning the 
rule. Unless the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking states otherwise, four 
copies of all comments shall be submitted.



Sec. 750.5  Subpoenas.

    (a) Where necessary, subpoenas requiring the production of 
documentary material, the attendance of persons at the hearing, or 
responses to written questions may be issued. Subpoenas may be issued 
either upon request as provided in paragraph (b) of this section or by 
EPA on its own motion.
    (b) All subpoena requests shall be in writing. Hearing participants 
may request the issuance of subpoenas as follows:
    (1) Subpoenas for the attendance of persons, and for the production 
of documents or responses to questions at the legislative hearing may be 
requested at any time up to the deadline for filing main comments.
    (2) Subpoenas for production of documents or answers to questions 
after the legislative hearing may be requested at any time between the 
beginning of the legislative hearing and the deadline for submitting 
reply comments.
    (c) EPA will rule on all subpoena requests filed under paragraph 
(b)(1) of

[[Page 484]]

this section no later than the beginning of the legislative hearing. 
Such requests may be granted, denied, or deferred. EPA will rule on all 
subpoena requests filed under paragraph (b)(2) of this section and all 
deferred subpoena requests filed under paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
no later than the promulgation of the final rule. Such requests shall be 
either granted or denied.



Sec. 750.6  Participation in informal hearing.

    (a) Each person or organization desiring to participate in the 
informal hearing required by section 6(c)(2)(C) of TSCA shall file a 
written request to so participate with the Record and Hearing Clerk 
which shall be postmarked or received no later than three weeks prior to 
the scheduled start of such hearing. The request shall include:
    (1) A brief statement of the interest of the person or organization 
in the proceeding;
    (2) A brief outline of the points to be addressed;
    (3) An estimate of the time required; and
    (4) If the request comes from an organization, a nonbinding list of 
the persons to take part in the presentation. Organizations are 
requested to bring with them, to the extent possible, employees with 
individual expertise in and responsibility for each of the areas to be 
addressed. No organization not filing main comments in the rulemaking 
will be allowed to participate at the hearing, unless a waiver of this 
requirement is granted in writing by the Record and Hearing Clerk or the 
organization is appearing at the request of EPA or under subpoena.
    (b) No later than one week prior to the start of the hearing, the 
Record and Hearing Clerk shall make a hearing schedule publicly 
available and mail or deliver it to each of the persons who requested to 
appear at the hearing. This schedule shall be subject to change during 
the course of the hearing at the discretion of those presiding over it.
    (c) Opening statements should be brief, and restricted either to 
points that could not have been made in main comments, or to emphasizing 
points which are made in main comments, but which the participant 
believes can be more forcefully urged in the hearing context.



Sec. 750.7  Conduct of legislative hearing.

    (a) A panel of EPA employees shall preside at each hearing conducted 
under section 6(c)(2)(C) of TSCA. In appropriate cases other Executive 
Branch employees may also sit with and assist the panel. The membership 
of the panel may change as different topics arise during the hearing. In 
general, the panel membership will consist of agency employees with 
special responsibility for the final rule or special expertise in the 
topics under discussion. One member of the panel shall be named to chair 
the proceedings and shall attend throughout the hearing, unless 
unavoidably prevented by sickness or similar personal circumstances.
    (b) The panel may question any individual or group participating in 
the hearing on any subject relating to the rulemaking. Cross-examination 
by others will normally not be permitted at this stage. It may be 
granted in compelling circumstances at the sole discretion of the 
hearing panel. However, persons in the hearing audience may submit 
questions in writing for the hearing panel to ask the participants, and 
the hearing panel may, at their discretion, ask these questions.
    (c) Participants in the hearing may submit additional material for 
the hearing record and shall submit such additional material as the 
hearing panel may request. All such submissions shall become part of the 
record of the hearing. A verbatim transcript of the hearing shall be 
made.



Sec. 750.8  Cross-examination.

    (a) After the close of the legislative hearing conducted under 
Sec. 750.7, any participant in that hearing may submit a written request 
for cross-examination. The request shall be received by EPA within one 
week after a full transcript of the legislative hearing becomes 
available and shall specify:
    (1) The disputed issue(s) of material fact as to which cross-
examination is requested. This shall include an explanation of why the 
questions at issue are ``factual'', rather than of an analytical or 
policy nature, the extent to

[[Page 485]]

which they are in ``dispute'' in the light of the record made thus far, 
and the extent to which and why they can reasonably be considered 
``material'' to the decision on the final rule; and
    (2) The person(s) the participant desires to cross-examine, and an 
estimate of the time necessary. This shall include a statement by the 
cross-examination requested can be expected to result in ``full and true 
disclosure'' resolving the issue of material fact involved.
    (b) Within one week after receipt of all requests for cross-
examination under paragraph (a) of this section the hearing panel shall 
rule on them. The ruling shall be served by the Record and Hearing Clerk 
on all participants who have requested cross-examination and shall be 
inserted in the record. Written notice of the ruling shall be given to 
all persons requesting cross-examination and all persons to be cross-
examined. The ruling shall specify:
    (1) The issues as to which cross-examination is granted,
    (2) The persons to be cross-examined on each issue,
    (3) The persons to be allowed to conduct cross-examination, and
    (4) Time limits for the examination of each witness by each cross-
examiner.

In issuing this ruling, the panel may determine that one or more 
participants who have requested cross-examination have the same or 
similar interests and should be required to choose a single 
representative for purposes of cross-examination. In such a case the 
order shall simply assign time for cross-examination by that single 
representative without identifying the representative further. Subpoenas 
for witnesses may be issued where necessary.
    (c) Within one week after the insertion into the record of the 
ruling under paragraph (b) of this section, the hearing at which the 
cross-examination will be conducted shall commence. One or more members 
of the original panel shall preside for the Agency. The panel shall have 
authority to conduct cross-examination on behalf of any participant, 
although as a general rule this right will not be exercised. The panel 
shall also have authority to modify the governing ruling in any respect 
and to make new rulings on group representation under section 6(c)(3)(C) 
of TSCA. A verbatim transcript of the hearing shall be made.
    (d)(1) No later than the time set for requesting cross-examination, 
a hearing participant may request that other alternative methods of 
clarifying the record (such as informal conferences or the submittal of 
additional information) be used. Such requests may be submitted either 
in lieu of cross-examination requests, or in conjunction with them.
    (2) The panel in passing on a cross-examination request may as a 
precondition to ruling on its merits require that alternative means of 
clarifying the record be used whether or not that has been requested 
under paragraph (d)(1) of this section. In such a case the results of 
the use of such alternative means shall be made available to the person 
requesting cross-examination of a one-week comment period, and the panel 
shall make a final ruling on cross-examination within one week 
thereafter.
    (e) Waivers or extensions of any deadline in this section applicable 
to persons other than EPA may be granted on the record of the hearing by 
the person chairing it or in writing by the Record and Hearing Clerk.



Sec. 750.9  Final rule.

    (a) As soon as feasible after the deadline for submittal of reply 
comments, the Agency shall issue a final rule. Final versions of the 
statements required by paragraph (b) of Sec. 750.2 shall be published in 
the Federal Register together with the final rule. The Agency shall also 
publish at that time:
    (1) A list of all material added to the record (other than public 
comments and material from the hearng record) which has not previously 
been listed in a Federal Register document, and
    (2) The effective date of the rule.
    (b) [Reserved]

                         Appendix A to Subpart A

    To assist in reading the regulations set forth above, this appendix 
sets forth the principal stages through which rules promulgated under 
section 6 of TSCA will pass.

[[Page 486]]

    The second column gives the relationship that one date bears to 
another whenever that relationship is specified in the regulations, and 
cites the governing provision. The third column contains estimates of 
the time that a typical rulemaking is likely to require to reach and 
complete each stage of these proceedings. In drawing up this third 
column, we have assumed that 60 days will be allowed for the submission 
of main comments; that the legislative phase of the informal hearing 
will take two weeks, and that cross-examination will take four days. 
Since these are only estimates, in any given rulemaking shorter or 
longer times may actually be required for each of these stages.

    (6) The basis for the petitioner's contention that under section 
6(e)(3)(B)(i) of TSCA ``an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
environment would not result'' from the granting of his petition for 
exemption.
    (7) The basis for the petitioner's contention that he meets the 
criterion of section 6(e)(3)(B)(ii) of TSCA concerning substitutes for 
PCB's.
    (8) Quantification of the reasonably ascertainable economic 
consequences of denial of the petition for exemption from the 1979 
manufacturing ban and an explanation of the manner of computation.
    (d) Request for further information. The Agency reserves the right

 Subpart C--Interim Procedural Rules for Processing and Distribution in 
                           Commerce Exemptions

    Source: 44 FR 31560, Mar. 31, 1979, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 750.30  Applicability.

    Sections 750.30-750.41 apply to all rulemakings under authority of 
section 6(e)(3)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 
2605(e)(3)(B) with respect to petitions for PCB processing and 
distribution in commerce exemptions filed pursuant to Sec. 750.31(a) of 
this part.



Sec. 750.31  Filing of petitions for exemption.

    (a) Who may file. Any person seeking an exemption from the PCB 
processing and distribution in commerce prohibitions imposed by section 
6(e)(3)(A)(ii) of TSCA may file a petition for exemption. Petitions must 
be submitted on an individual basis for each processor, distributor, 
seller or individual affected by the 1979 processing and distribution in 
commerce prohibitions, except as described in paragraphs (a) (1) through 
(9) of this section.

[[Page 489]]

    (1) Processing and distribution in commerce of PCB-contaminated 
transformer dielectric fluid. Persons who process or distribute in 
commerce dielectric fluid containing 50 ppm or greater PCB (but less 
than 500 ppm PCB) for use in PCB-Contaminated Transformers may submit a 
single consolidated petition on behalf of any number of petitioners. The 
name and address of each petitioner must be stated in the petition.
    (2) Contaminated substances and mixtures--processing. Persons who 
process the same chemical substance or the same mixture containing 50 
ppm or greater PCB as an impurity or contaminant may submit a 
consolidated petition if the chemical substance or mixture is processed 
for the same use by each person represented by the petition. For 
example, persons who process a PCB-contaminated pigment into printing 
inks may combine their petitions into one petition. The name and address 
of each petitioner must be stated in the petition.
    (3) Contaminated substances and mixtures--distribution in commerce. 
Persons who distribute in commerce the same chemical substance or the 
same mixture containing 50 ppm or greater PCB as an impurity or 
contaminant may submit a consolidated petition if the chemical substance 
or mixture is distributed in commerce for a common use. Such a petition 
is not required to name each person who distributes in commerce the 
chemical substance or mixture.
    (4) PCB capacitor distribution for purposes of repair. Persons who 
distribute in commerce PCB capacitors for servicing (repair) of PCB 
Equipment may submit a single consolidated petition on behalf of any 
number of petitioners engaged in such distribution in commerce for 
purposes of repair. The name of each petitioner need not be stated in 
the petition.
    (5) Small quantities for research and development. Persons who 
process or distribute in commerce small quantities of PCBs for research 
and development may submit a single consolidated petition. The name and 
address of each petitioner must be stated in the petition.
    (6) Microscopy. Persons who process or distribute in commerce PCBs 
for use as a mounting medium in microscopy may submit a single 
consolidated petition on behalf of any number of petitioners. The name 
and address of each petitioner must be stated in the petition.
    (7) Processing of PCB Articles into PCB Equipment. A person who 
processes (incorporates) PCB Articles (such as small PCB Capacitors) 
into PCB Equipment may submit a petition on behalf of himself and all 
persons who further process or distribute in commerce PCB Equipment 
built by the petitioner. For example, a builder of motors who places 
small PCB Capacitors in the motors may submit a petition on behalf of 
all persons who process or incorporate motors built by the petitioner 
into other pieces of PCB Equipment and all those who sell the equipment. 
Such a petition is not required to identify the persons who distribute 
in commerce or further process the PCB Equipment. A separate petition 
must be filed, however, by each processor of PCB Articles into PCB 
Equipment.
    (8) Processing of PCB Equipment into other PCB Equipment. A person 
who processes (incorporates) PCB Equipment into other PCB Equipment may 
submit a petition on behalf of himself and all persons who further 
process or distribute in commerce PCB Equipment built by the petitioner. 
Such a petition is not required to identify the persons who distribute 
in commerce or further process the PCB Equipment. If a petition has been 
filed under paragraph (a)(7) of this section by the builder of the 
original PCB Equipment, no other petition is required.
    (9) Distribution of PCB Equipment. Distributors in commerce of PCB 
Equipment may submit a consolidated petition on behalf of persons who 
distribute in commerce PCB Equipment of one type (such as air 
conditioners). The petition is not required to name the persons who 
distribute in commerce the affected PCB Equipment.
    (b) Where to file. All petitions must be submitted to the following 
location: OPPT Document Control Officer (7407), East Tower, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.

exemption requested, including a description of the chemical substances, 
mixtures or items to be processed or distributed in commerce and, if 
processing is involved, the nature of the processing.
    (3) For processing petitions, location(s) of sites requiring 
exemption.
    (4) Length of time requested for exemption (maximum length of 
exemption is one year).
    (5) Estimated amount of PCBs (by pound and/or volume) to be 
processed, distributed in commerce, or used during requested exemption 
period and the manner of release of PCBs into the environment associated 
with such processing, distribution in commerce, or use. Where the PCB 
concentration is less than 500 ppm, both the total liquid volume and the 
total PCB volume must be provided.
    (6) The basis for the petitioner's contention that under section 
6(e)(3)(B)(i) of TSCA ``an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
environment would not result'' from the granting of the petition for 
exemption.
    (7) The basis for the petitioner's contention that under section 
6(e)(3)(B)(ii) ``good faith efforts have been made to develop a chemical 
substance which does not present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment and which may be substituted for'' the PCB.
    (8) Quantification of the reasonably ascertainable economic 
consequences of denying the petition for exemption and an explanation of 
the manner of computation.

subpoena.
    (b) No later than three days prior to the start of the hearing, the 
Hearing Clerk will make a hearing schedule publicly available and mail 
or deliver it to each of the persons who requested to appear at the 
hearing. This schedule will be subject to change during the course of 
the hearing at the discretion of those presiding over it.
    (c) Opening statements should be brief, and restricted either to 
points that could not have been made in main comments or to emphasizing 
points which are made in main comments, but which the participant 
believes can be more forcefully urged in the hearing context.



Sec. 750.39  Conduct of informal hearing.

    (a) A panel of EPA employees shall preside at each hearing conducted 
under section 6(c)(2)(C) of TSCA. In appropriate cases, other Executive 
Branch employees may also sit with and assist the panel. The membership 
of the panel may change as different topics arise during the hearing. In 
general, the panel membership will consist of EPA employees with special 
responsibility for the final rule or special expertise in the topics 
under discussion. One member of the panel will be named to chair the 
proceedings and will attend throughout the hearing, unless unavoidably 
prevented by sickness or similar personal circumstances.
    (b) The panel may question any individual or group participating in 
the hearing on any subject relating to the rulemaking. Cross-examination 
by others will normally not be permitted at this stage. It may be 
granted in compelling circumstances at the sole discretion of the 
hearing panel. However, persons in the hearing audience may submit 
questions in writing for the hearing panel to ask the participants, and 
the hearing panel may, at their discretion, ask these questions.
    (c) Participants in the hearing may submit additional material for 
the hearing record and shall submit such additional material as the 
hearing panel may request. All such submissions will become part of the 
record of the hearing. A verbatim transcript of the hearing shall be 
made. Participants will be allowed to designate testimony from prior EPA 
informal rulemaking hearings concerning PCBs under TSCA. The hearing 
panel may reject repetitive testimony previously presented at such 
hearings.



Sec. 750.40  Cross-examination.

    (a) After the close of the informal hearing conducted under 
Sec. 750.39, any participant in that hearing may submit a written 
request for cross-examination. The request must be received by EPA 
within one week after a full transcript of the informal hearing becomes 
available and must specify:
    (1) The disputed issue(s) of material fact as to which cross-
examination is requested. This must include an explanation of why the 
questions at issue are ``factual'', rather than of an analytical or 
policy nature, the extent to which they are in ``dispute'' in the light 
of the record made thus far, and the extent to which and why they can 
reasonably be considered ``material'' to the decision on the final rule; 
and
    (2) The person(s) the participant desires to cross-examine, and an 
estimate of the time necessary. This must include a statement as to how 
the cross-examination requested can be expected to result in ``full and 
true disclosure'' resolving the issue of material fact involved.
    (b) Within one week after receipt of all requests for cross-
examination under paragraph (a), the hearing panel will rule on them. 
The ruling will be served by the Hearing Clerk on all participants who 
have requested cross-examination and will be inserted in the record. 
Written notice of the ruling will be given to all persons requesting 
cross-examination and all persons to be cross-examined. The ruling will 
specify:
    (1) The issues as to which cross-examination is granted;

[[Page 495]]

    (2) The persons to be cross-examined on each issue;
    (3) The persons to be allowed to conduct cross-examination; and
    (4) Time limits for the examination of each witness by each cross-
examiner.
    (c) In issuing this ruling, the panel may determine that one or more 
participants who have requested cross-examination have the same or 
similar interests and should be required to choose a single 
representative for purposes of cross-examination by that single 
representative without identifying the representative further. Subpoenas 
for witnesses may be issued where necessary.
    (d) Within one week after the insertion into the record of the 
ruling under paragraph (b) of this section, the hearing at which the 
cross-examination will be conducted will begin. One or more members of 
the original panel will preside for EPA. The panel will have authority 
to conduct cross-examination on behalf of any participant, although as a 
general rule this right will not be exercised. The panel will also have 
authority to modify the governing ruling in any respect and to make new 
rulings on group representation under section 6(c)(3)(C) of TSCA. A 
verbatim transcript of the hearing will be made.
    (e)(1) No later than the time set for requesting cross-examination, 
a hearing participant may request that other alternative methods of 
clarifying the record (such as informal conferences or the submittal of 
additional information) be used. Such requests may be submitted either 
in lieu of cross-examination requests, or in conjunction with them.
    (2) The panel in passing on a cross-examination request may, as a 
precondition to ruling on its merits, require that alternative means of 
clarifying the record be used whether or not that has been requested 
under paragraph (e)(1) of this section. In such a case, the results of 
the use of such alternative means will be made available to the person 
requesting cross-examination for a one-week comment period, and the 
panel will make a final ruling on cross-examination within one week 
thereafter.
    (f) Waivers or extensions of any deadline in this section applicable 
to persons other than EPA may be granted on the record of the hearing by 
the person chairing it or in writing by the Hearing Chairman.



Sec. 750.41  Final rule.

    (a) As soon as feasible after the deadline for submittal of reply 
comments, EPA will issue a final rule. EPA will also publish at that 
time:
    (1) A list of all material added to the record (other than public 
comments and material from the hearing record) which has not previously 
been listed in a Federal Register document, and
    (2) The effective date of the rule.
    (b) Pursuant to the delegation of authority made in the Preamble to 
the Final Regulation for the PCB Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution 
in Commerce and Use Prohibitions, the Assistant Administrator for 
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances will grant or deny petitions 
under section 6(e)(3)(B) of TSCA submitted pursuant to Sec. 750.31. The 
Assistant Administrator will act on such petitions subsequent to 
opportunity for an informal hearing pursuant to this rule.
    (c) In determining whether to grant an exemption to the PCB ban, EPA 
will apply the two standards enunciated in section 6(e)(3)(B) of TSCA.

                           Subpart A--General



Sec. 761.1  Applicability.

    (a) This part establishes prohibitions of, and requirements for, the 
manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, disposal, 
storage, and marking of PCBs and PCB Items.
    (b)(1) This part applies to all persons who manufacture, process, 
distribute in commerce, use, or dispose of PCBs or PCB Items. Substances 
that are regulated by this part include, but are not limited to: 
dielectric fluids; solvents; oils; waste oils; heat transfer fluids; 
hydraulic fluids; paints or coatings; sludges; slurries; sediments; 
dredge spoils; soils; materials containing PCBs as a result of spills; 
and other chemical substances or combinations of substances, including 
impurities and byproducts and any byproduct, intermediate, or impurity 
manufactured at any point in a process.
    (2) Unless otherwise noted, PCB concentrations shall be determined 
on a weight-per-weight basis (e.g., milligrams per kilogram), or for 
liquids, on a weight-per-volume basis (e.g., milligrams per liter) if 
the density of the

[[Page 498]]

liquid is also reported. Unless otherwise provided, PCBs are quantified 
based on the formulation of PCBs present in the material analyzed. For 
example, measure AroclorTM 1242 PCBs based on a comparison 
with AroclorTM 1242 standards. Measure individual congener 
PCBs based on a comparison with individual PCB congener standards.
    (3) Most provisions in this part apply only if PCBs are present in 
concentrations above a specified level. Provisions that apply to PCBs at 
concentrations of <50 ppm apply also to contaminated surfaces at PCB 
concentrations of 10/100 cm2. Provisions that 
apply to PCBs at concentrations of 50 to <500 ppm apply also 
to contaminated surfaces at PCB concentrations of >10/100 cm2 
to <100 g/100 cm2. Provisions that apply to PCBs at 
concentrations of 500 ppm apply also to contaminated surfaces 
at PCB concentrations of 100 g/100 cm2.
    (4) PCBs can be found in liquid, non-liquid and multi-phasic 
(combinations of liquid and non-liquid) forms. A person should use the 
following criteria to determine PCB concentrations to determine which 
provisions of this part apply to such PCBs.
    (i) Any person determining PCB concentrations for non-liquid PCBs 
must do so on a dry weight basis.
    (ii) Any person determining PCB concentrations for liquid PCBs must 
do so on a wet weight basis. Liquid PCBs containing more than 0.5 
percent by weight non-dissolved material shall be analyzed as multi-
phasic non-liquid/liquid mixtures.
    (iii) Any person determining the PCB concentration of samples 
containing PCBs and non-dissolved non-liquid materials 0.5 
percent, must separate the non-dissolved materials into non-liquid PCBs 
and liquid PCBs. For multi-phasic non-liquid/liquid or liquid/liquid 
mixtures, the phases shall be separated before chemical analysis. 
Following phase separation, the PCB concentration in each non-liquid 
phase shall be determined on a dry weight basis and the PCB 
concentration in each liquid phase shall be determined separately on a 
wet weight basis.
    (iv) Any person disposing of multi-phasic non-liquid/liquid or 
liquid/liquid mixtures must use the PCB disposal requirements that apply 
to the individual phase with the highest PCB concentration except where 
otherwise noted. Alternatively, phases may be separated and disposed of 
using the PCB disposal requirements that apply to each separated, 
single-phase material.
    (5) No person may avoid any provision specifying a PCB concentration 
by diluting the PCBs, unless otherwise specifically provided.
    (6) Unless otherwise specified, references to weights or volumes of 
PCBs in this part apply to the total weight or total volume of the 
material (oil, soil, debris, etc.) that contains regulated 
concentrations of PCBs, not the calculated weight or volume of only the 
PCB molecules contained in the material.
    (c) Definitions of the terms used in these regulations are in 
subpart A. The basic requirements applicable to disposal and marking of 
PCBs and PCB Items are set forth in subpart D--Disposal of PCBs and PCB 
Items and in subpart C--Marking of PCBs and PCB Items. Prohibitions 
applicable to PCB activities are set forth in subpart B--Manufacture, 
Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use of PCBs and PCB Items. 
Subpart B also includes authorizations from the prohibitions. Subparts C 
and D set forth the specific requirements for disposal and marking of 
PCBs and PCB Items.
    (d) Section 15 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) states 
that failure to comply with these regulations is unlawful. Section 16 
imposes liability for civil penalties upon any person who violates these 
regulations, and the Administrator can establish appropriate remedies 
for any violations subject to any limitations included in section 16 of 
TSCA. Section 16 also subjects a person to criminal prosecution for a 
violation which is knowing or willful. In addition, section 17 
authorizes Federal district courts to enjoin activities prohibited by 
these regulations, compel the taking of actions required by these 
regulations, and issue orders to seize PCBs and PCB Items manufactured, 
processed or distributed in violation of these regulations.

[[Page 499]]

    (e) These regulations do not preempt other more stringent Federal 
statutes and regulations.
    (f) Unless and until superseded by any new more stringent 
regulations issued under EPA authorities, or any permits or any 
pretreatment requirements issued by EPA, a state or local government 
that affect release of PCBs to any particular medium:
    (1) Persons who inadvertently manufacture or import PCBs generated 
as unintentional impurities in excluded manufacturing processes, as 
defined in Sec. 761.3, are exempt from the requirements of subpart B of 
this part, provided that such persons comply with subpart J of this 
part, as applicable.
    (2) Persons who process, distribute in commerce, or use products 
containing PCBs generated in excluded manufacturing processes defined in 
Sec. 761.3 are exempt from the requirements of subpart B provided that 
such persons comply with subpart J of this part, as applicable.
    (3) Persons who process, distribute in commerce, or use products 
containing recycled PCBs defined in Sec. 761.3, are exempt from the 
requirements of subpart B of this part, provided that such persons 
comply with subpart J of this part, as applicable.
    (4) Except as provided in Sec. 761.20 (d) and (e), persons who 
process, distribute in commerce, or use products containing excluded PCB 
products as defined in Sec. 761.3, are exempt from the requirements of 
subpart B of this part.

Sec. 761.1  Applicability.

                                * * * * *

    (b) This part applies to all persons who manufacture, process, 
distribute in commerce, use, or dispose of PCBs or PCB Items. Substances 
that are regulated by this rule include, but are not limited to, 
dielectric fluids, contaminated solvents, oils, waste oils, heat 
transfer fluids, hydraulic fluids, paints, sludges, slurries, dredge 
spoils, soils, materials contaminated as a result of spills, and other 
chemical substances or combination of substances, including impurities 
and byproducts and any byproduct, intermediate or impurity manufactured 
at any point in a process. Most of the provisions of this part apply to 
PCBs only if PCBs are present in concentrations above a specified level. 
For example, subpart D applies generally to materials at concentrations 
of 50 parts per million (ppm) and above. Also certain provisions of 
subpart B apply to PCBs inadvertently generated in manufacturing 
processes at concentrations specified in the definition of ``PCB'' under 
Sec. 761.3. No provision specifying a PCB concentration may be avoided 
as a result of any dilution, unless otherwise specifically provided.

Sec. 761.2   PCB concentration assumptions for use.

    (a)(1) Any person may assume that transformers with <3 pounds (1.36 
kilograms (kgs)) of fluid, circuit breakers, reclosers, oil-filled 
cable, and rectifiers whose PCB concentration is not established contain 
PCBs at <50 ppm.
    (2) Any person must assume that mineral oil-filled electrical 
equipment that was manufactured before July 2, 1979, and whose PCB 
concentration is not established is PCB-Contaminated Electrical 
Equipment (i.e., contains 50 ppm PCB, but <500 ppm PCB). All 
pole-top and pad-mounted distribution transformers manufactured before 
July 2, 1979, must be assumed to be mineral-oil filled. Any person may 
assume that electrical equipment manufactured after July 2, 1979, is 
non-PCB (i.e., <50 ppm PCBs). If the date of manufacture of mineral oil-
filled electrical equipment is unknown, any person must assume it to be 
PCB-Contaminated.
    (3) Any person must assume that a transformer manufactured prior to 
July 2, 1979, that contains 1.36 kg (3 pounds) or more of fluid other 
than mineral oil and whose PCB concentration is not established, is a 
PCB Transformer (i.e., 500 ppm). If the date of manufacture 
or the type of dielectric fluid is unknown, any person must assume the 
transformer to be a PCB Transformer.
    (4) Any person must assume that a capacitor manufactured prior to 
July 2,

[[Page 500]]

1979, whose PCB concentration is not established contains 500 
ppm PCBs. Any person may assume that a capacitor manufactured after July 
2, 1979, is non-PCB (i.e., <50 ppm PCBs). If the date of manufacture is 
unknown, any person must assume the capacitor contains 500 
ppm PCBs. Any person may assume that a capacitor marked at the time of 
manufacture with the statement ``No PCBs'' in accordance with 
Sec. 761.40(g) is non-PCB.
    (b) PCB concentration may be established by:
    (1) Testing the equipment; or
    (2)(i) A permanent label, mark, or other documentation from the 
manufacturer of the equipment indicating its PCB concentration at the 
time of manufacture; and
    (ii) Service records or other documentation indicating the PCB 
concentration of all fluids used in servicing the equipment since it was 
first manufactured.

dielectric fluid and a capacitor whose total volume is more than 3,278 
cubic centimeters (200 cubic inches) must be considered to contain more 
than 1.36 kg (3 lbs.) of dielectric fluid. A capacitor whose volume is 
between 1,639 and 3,278 cubic centimeters may be considered to contain 
less then 1.36 kg (3 lbs.) of dielectric fluid if the total weight of 
the capacitor is less than 4.08 kg (9 lbs.).

for which I cannot personally verify truth and accuracy, I certify as 
the company official having supervisory responsibility for the persons 
who, acting under my direct instructions, made the verification that 
this information is true, accurate, and complete.

    Chemical substance, (1) except as provided in paragraph (2) of this 
definition, means any organic or inorganic substance of a particular 
molecular identity, including: Any combination of such substances 
occurring in whole or part as a result of a chemical reaction or 
occurring in nature, and any element or uncombined radical.
    (2) Such term does not include: Any mixture; any pesticide (as 
defined in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) when 
manufactured, processed, or distributed in commerce for use as a 
pesticide; tobacco or any tobacco product; any source material, special 
nuclear material, or byproduct material (as such terms are defined in 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and regulations issued under such Act); 
any article the sale of which is subject to the tax imposed by section 
4181 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (determined without regard to 
any exemptions from such tax provided by section 4182 or section 4221 or 
any provisions of such Code); and any food, food additive, drug, 
cosmetic, or device (as such terms are defined in section 201 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) when manufactured, processed, or 
distributed in commerce for use as a food, food additive, drug, 
cosmetic, or device.
    Chemical waste landfill means a landfill at which protection against 
risk of injury to health or the environment from migration of PCBs to 
land, water, or the atmosphere is provided from PCBs and PCB Items 
deposited therein by locating, engineering, and operating the landfill 
as specified in Sec. 761.75.
    Cleanup site means the areal extent of contamination and all 
suitable areas in very close proximity to the contamination necessary 
for implementation of a cleanup of PCB remediation waste, regardless of 
whether the site was intended for management of waste.
    Commerce means trade, traffic, transportation, or other commerce:
    (1) Between a place in a State and any place outside of such State,

    Commercial storer of PCB waste means the owner or operator of each 
facility that is subject to the PCB storage unit standards of 
Sec. 761.65(b)(1) or (c)(7) or meets the alternate storage criteria of 
Sec. 761.65(b)(2), and who engages in storage activities involving 
either PCB waste generated by others or that was removed while servicing 
the equipment owned by others and brokered for disposal. The receipt of 
a fee or any other form of compensation for storage services is not 
necessary to qualify as a commercial storer of PCB waste. A generator 
who only stores its own waste is subject to the storage requirements of 
Sec. 761.65, but is not required to obtain approval as a commercial 
storer. If a facility's storage of PCB waste generated by others at no 
time exceeds a total of 500 gallons of liquid and/or non-liquid material 
containing PCBs at regulated levels, the owner or operator is a 
commercial storer but is not required to seek EPA approval as a 
commercial storer of PCB waste. Storage of one company's PCB waste by a 
related company is not considered commercial storage. A ``related 
company'' includes, but is not limited to: a parent company and its 
subsidiaries; sibling companies owned by the same parent company; 
companies owned by a common holding company; members of electric 
cooperatives; entities within the same Executive agency as defined at 5 
U.S.C. 105; and a company having a joint ownership interest in a 
facility from which PCB waste is generated (such as a jointly owned 
electric power generating station) where the PCB waste is stored by one 
of the co-owners of the facility. A ``related company'' does not include 
another voluntary member of the same trade association. Change in 
ownership or title of a generator's facility, where the generator is 
storing PCB waste, does not make the new owner of the facility a 
commercial storer of PCB waste.

of PCB

[[Page 502]]

waste designated on the manifest as the facility that will receive a 
manifested shipment of PCB waste.

to hold or the holding of, the substance, mixture, or article after its 
introduction into commerce.
    DOT means the United States Department of Transportation.
    Dry weight means the weight of the sample, excluding the weight of 
the water in the sample. Prior to chemical analysis the water may be 
removed by any reproducible method that is applicable to measuring PCBs 
in the sample matrix at the concentration of concern, such as air drying 
at ambient temperature, filtration, decantation, heating at low 
temperature followed by cooling in the presence of a desiccant, or other 
processes or combinations of processes which would remove water but not 
remove PCBs from the sample. Analytical procedures which calculate the 
dry weight concentration by adjusting for moisture content may also be 
used.

    Transfer facility means any transportation-related facility 
including loading docks, parking areas, and other similar areas where 
shipments of PCB waste are held during the normal course of 
transportation. Transport vehicles are not transfer facilities under 
this definition, unless they are used for the storage of PCB waste, 
rather than for actual transport activities. Storage areas for PCB waste 
at transfer facilities are subject to the storage facility standards of 
Sec. 761.65, but such storage areas are exempt from the approval 
requirements of Sec. 761.65(d) and the recordkeeping requirements of

treatment;
    (4) The efficiency of a treatment process for the specific type of 
waste (i.e., soil, sludge, liquid, etc.); or,
    (5) The characteristics and volumes of residuals from a particular 
treatment process. A ``treatability study'' is not a mechanism to 
commercially treat or dispose of PCB waste. Treatment is a form of 
disposal under this part.
    TSCA means the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. 2601 et 
seq.).
    TSCA PCB Coordinated Approval means the process used to recognize 
other Federal or State waste management documents governing the storage,

Sec. 761.3  Definitions.

                                * * * * *

    Commercial storer of PCB waste means the owner or operator of each 
facility which is subject to the PCB storage facility standards of 
Sec. 761.65, and who engages in storage activities involving PCB waste 
generated by others, or PCB waste that was removed while servicing the 
equipment owned by others and brokered for disposal. The receipt of a 
fee or any other form of compensation for storage services is not 
necessary to qualify as a commercial storer of PCB waste. It is 
sufficient under this definition that the facility stores PCB waste 
generated by others or the facility removed the PCB waste while 
servicing equipment owned by others. A generator who stores only the 
generator's own waste is subject to the storage requirements of 
Sec. 761.65, but is not required to seek approval as a commercial 
storer. If a facility's storage of PCB waste at no time exceeds 500 
liquid gallons of PCBs, the owner or operator is not required to seek 
approval as a commercial storer of PCB waste.

                                * * * * *

    PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment means any electrical 
equipment, including but not limited to transformers (including those 
used in railway locomotives and self-propelled cars), capacitors, 
circuit breakers, reclosers, voltage regulators, switches (including 
sectionalizers and motor starters), electromagnets, and cable, that 
contain 50 ppm or greater PCB, but less than 500 ppm PCB. Oil-filled 
electrical equipment other than circuit breakers, reclosers, and cable 
whose PCB concentration is unknown must be assumed to be PCB-
Contaminated Electrical Equipment. (See Sec. 761.30(a) and (h) for 
provisions permitting reclassification of electrical equipment 
containing 500 ppm or greater PCBs to PCB-Contaminated Electrical 
Equipment).

                                * * * * *

    PCB Item is defined as any PCB Article, PCB Article Container, PCB 
Container, or PCB Equipment, that deliberately or unintentionally 
contains or has a part of it any PCB or PCBs.
    PCB Transformer means any transformer that contains 500 ppm PCB or 
greater.

                                * * * * *

    Qualified incinerator * * *
    (1) * * *
    (2) A high efficiency boiler which complies with the criteria of 
Sec. 761.60(a)(2)(iii)(A), and for which the operator has given written 
notice to the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator in accordance with 
the notification requirements for the burning of mineral oil dielectric 
fluid under Sec. 761.60(a)(2)(iii)(B).

Subpart B--Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use 
                          of PCBs and PCB Items



Sec. 761.20  Prohibitions and exceptions.

    Except as authorized in Sec. 761.30, the activities listed in 
paragraphs (a) and (d) of this section are prohibited pursuant to 
section 6(e)(2) of TSCA. The requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of 
this section and subpart F of this part concerning export and import of 
PCBs and PCB Items for disposal are established pursuant to section 
6(e)(1) of TSCA. Subject to any exemptions granted pursuant to section 
6(e)(3)(B) of TSCA, the activities listed in paragraphs (b) and (c) of 
this section are prohibited pursuant to section (6)(e)(3)(A) of TSCA. In 
addition, the Administrator hereby finds, under the authority of section 
12(a)(2) of TSCA, that the manufacture, processing, and distribution in 
commerce of PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or greater and PCB Items 
with PCB concentrations of 50 ppm or greater present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to health within the United States. This finding is based 
upon the well-documented human health and environmental hazard of PCB 
exposure, the high probability of human and environmental exposure to 
PCBs and PCB Items from manufacturing, processing, or distribution 
activities; the potential hazard of PCB exposure posed by the 
transportation of PCBs or PCB Items within the United States; and the 
evidence that contamination of the environment by PCBs is spread far 
beyond the areas where they are used. In addition, the Administrator 
hereby finds, for purposes of section 6(e)(2)(C) of TSCA, that any 
exposure of human beings or the environment to PCBs, as measured or 
detected by any scientifically acceptable analytical method, may be 
significant, depending on such factors as the quantity of PCBs involved 
in the exposure, the likelihood of exposure to humans and the 
environment, and the effect of exposure. For purposes of determining 
which PCB Items are totally enclosed, pursuant to section 6(e)(2)(C) of 
TSCA, since exposure to such Items may be significant, the Administrator 
further finds that a totally enclosed manner is a manner which results 
in no exposure to humans or the environment to PCBs. The following 
activities are considered totally enclosed: distribution in commerce of 
intact, nonleaking electrical equipment such as transformers (including 
transformers used in railway locomotives and self-propelled cars), 
capacitors, electromagnets, voltage regulators, switches (including 
sectionalizers and motor starters), circuit breakers, reclosers, and 
cable that contain PCBs at any concentration and processing and 
distribution in commerce of PCB Equipment containing an intact, 
nonleaking PCB Capacitor. See paragraph (c)(1) of this section for 
provisions allowing the distribution in commerce of PCBs and PCB Items.
    (a) No persons may use any PCB, or any PCB Item regardless of 
concentration, in any manner other than in a totally enclosed manner 
within the United States unless authorized under Sec. 761.30, except 
that:
    (1) An authorization is not required to use those PCBs or PCB Items 
which consist of excluded PCB products as defined in Sec. 761.3.
    (2) An authorization is not required to use those PCBs or PCB Items 
resulting from an excluded manufacturing process or recycled PCBs as 
defined in Sec. 761.3, provided all applicable conditions of 
Sec. 761.1(f) are met.
    (3) An authorization is not required to use those PCB Items which 
contain or whose surfaces have been in contact with excluded PCB 
products as defined in Sec. 761.3.
    (4) An authorization is not required to use sewage sludge where the 
uses are regulated at parts 257, 258, and 503 of this chapter. No person 
may blend or otherwise dilute PCBs regulated for disposal, including PCB 
sewage sludge and sewage sludge not used pursuant to parts 257, 258, and 
503 of this chapter, for purposes of use or to avoid disposal 
requirements under this part. Except as explicitly provided in subpart D 
of this part, no person may dispose of regulated PCB wastes including, 
but not limited to, PCB remediation waste, PCB bulk product waste, PCBs, 
and PCB industrial sludges, into treatment

[[Page 513]]

works, as defined in Sec. 503.9(aa) of this chapter.
    (b) No person may manufacture PCBs for use within the United States 
or manufacture PCBs for export from the United States without an 
exemption, except that: an exemption is not required for PCBs 
manufactured in an excluded manufacturing process as defined in 
Sec. 761.3, provided all applicable conditions of Sec. 761.1(f) are met.
    (c) No persons may process or distribute in commerce any PCB, or any 
PCB Item regardless of concentration, for use within the United States 
or for export from the United States without an exemption, except that 
an exemption is not required to process or distribute in commerce PCBs 
or PCB Items resulting from an excluded manufacturing process as defined 
in Sec. 761.3, or to process or distribute in commerce recycled PCBs as 
defined in Sec. 761.3, or to process or distribute in commerce excluded 
PCB products as defined in Sec. 761.3, provided that all applicable 
conditions of Sec. 761.1(f) are met. In addition, the activities 
described in paragraphs (c) (1) through (5) of this section may also be 
conducted without an exemption, under the conditions specified therein.
    (1) PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or greater, or PCB Items with 
PCB concentrations of 50 ppm or greater, sold before July 1, 1979 for 
purposes other than resale may be distributed in commerce only in a 
totally enclosed manner after that date.
    (2) Any person may process and distribute in commerce for disposal 
PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm, or PCB Items with PCB 
concentrations of 50 ppm, if they comply with the applicable 
provisions of this part.
    (i) Processing activities which are primarily associated with and 
facilitate storage or transportation for disposal do not require a TSCA 
PCB storage or disposal approval.
    (ii) Processing activities which are primarily associated with and 
facilitate treatment, as defined in Sec. 261.10 of this chapter, or 
disposal require a TSCA PCB disposal approval unless they are part of an 
existing approval, are part of a self-implementing activity under 
Sec. 761.61(a) or Sec. 761.79 (b) or (c), or are otherwise specifically 
allowed under subpart D of this part.
    (iii) With the exception of provisions in Sec. 761.60 (a)(2) and 
(a)(3), in order to meet the intent of Sec. 761.1(b), processing, 
diluting, or otherwise blending of waste prior to being introduced into 
a disposal unit for purposes of meeting a PCB concentration limit shall 
be done in accordance with a TSCA PCB disposal approval or comply with 
the requirements of Sec. 761.79.
    (iv) Where the rate of delivering liquids or non-liquids into a PCB 
disposal unit is an operating parameter, this rate shall be a condition 
of the TSCA PCB disposal approval for the unit when an approval is 
required.
    (3) PCBs and PCB Items may be exported for disposal in accordance 
with the requirements of subpart F of this part.
    (4) PCBs, at concentrations of less than 50 ppm, or PCB Items, with 
concentrations of less than 50 ppm, may be processed and distributed in 
commerce for purposes of disposal.
    (5) Decontaminated materials. Any person may distribute in commerce 
equipment, structures, or other liquid or non-liquid materials that were 
contaminated with PCBs 50 ppm, including those not otherwise 
authorized for distribution in commerce under this part, provided that 
one of the following applies:
    (i) The materials were decontaminated in accordance with a TSCA PCB 
disposal approval issued under subpart D of this part, with Sec. 761.79, 
or with applicable EPA PCB spill cleanup policies in effect at the time 
of the decontamination.
    (ii) If not previously decontaminated, the materials now meet an 
applicable decontamination standard in Sec. 761.79(b).
    (d) The use of waste oil that contains any detectable concentration 
of PCB as a sealant, coating, or dust control agent is prohibited. 
Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, road oiling, general 
dust control, use as a pesticide or herbicide carrier, and use as a rust 
preventative on pipes.
    (e) In addition to any applicable requirements under 40 CFR part 
279, subparts G and H, marketers and burners

[[Page 514]]

of used oil who market (process or distribute in commerce) for energy 
recovery, used oil containing any quantifiable level of PCBs are subject 
to the following requirements:
    (1) Restrictions on marketing. Used oil containing any quantifiable 
level of PCBs (2 ppm) may be marketed only to:
    (i) Qualified incinerators as defined in 40 CFR 761.3.
    (ii) Marketers who market off-specification used oil for energy 
recovery only to other marketers who have notified EPA of their used oil 
management activities, and who have an EPA identification number where 
an identification number is required by 40 CFR 279.73. This would 
include persons who market off-specification used oil who are subject to 
the requirements at 40 CFR part 279 and the notification requirements of 
40 CFR 279.73.
    (iii) Burners identified in 40 CFR 279.61(a)(1) and (2). Only 
burners in the automotive industry may burn used oil generated from 
automotive sources in used oil-fired space heaters provided the 
provisions of 40 CFR 279.23 are met. The Regional Administrator may 
grant a variance for a boiler that does not meet the 40 CFR 279.61(a)(1) 
and (2) criteria after considering the criteria listed in 40 CFR 260.32 
(a) through (f). The applicant must address the relevant criteria 
contained in 40 CFR 260.32 (a) through (f) in an application to the 
Regional Administrator.
    (2) Testing of used oil fuel. Used oil to be burned for energy 
recovery is presumed to contain quantifiable levels (2 ppm) of PCB 
unless the marketer obtains analyses (testing) or other information that 
the used oil fuel does not contain quantifiable levels of PCBs.
    (i) The person who first claims that a used oil fuel does not 
contain quantifiable level (2 ppm) PCB must obtain analyses or other 
information to support that claim.
    (ii) Testing to determine the PCB concentration in used oil may be 
conducted on individual samples, or in accordance with the testing 
procedures described in Sec. 761.60(g)(2). However, for purposes of this 
part, if any PCBs at a concentration of 50 ppm or greater have been 
added to the container or equipment, then the total container contents 
must be considered as having a PCB concentration of 50 ppm or greater 
for purposes of complying with the disposal requirements of this part.
    (iii) Other information documenting that the used oil fuel does not 
contain quantifiable levels (2 ppm) of PCBs may consist of either 
personal, special knowledge of the source and composition of the used 
oil, or a certification from the person generating the used oil claiming 
that the oil contains no detectable PCBs.
    (3) Restrictions on burning. (i) Used oil containing any 
quantifiable levels of PCB may be burned for energy recovery only in the 
combustion facilities identified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section 
when such facilities are operating at normal operating temperatures 
(this prohibits feeding these fuels during either startup or shutdown 
operations). Owners and operators of such facilities are ``burners'' of 
used oil fuels.
    (ii) Before a burner accepts from a marketer the first shipment of 
used oil fuel containing detectable PCBs (2 ppm), the burner must 
provide the marketer a one-time written and signed notice certifying 
that:
    (A) The burner has complied with any notification requirements 
applicable to ``qualified incinerators'' (Sec. 761.3) or to ``burners'' 
regulated under 40 CFR part 279, subpart G.
    (B) The burner will burn the used oil only in a combustion facility 
identified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section and identify the class of 
burner he qualifies.
    (4) Recordkeeping requirements. The following recordkeeping 
requirements are in addition to the recordkeeping requirements for 
marketers found in 40 CFR 279.72(b), 279.74(a), (b) and (c), and 279.75, 
and for burners found in 40 CFR 279.65 and 279.66.
    (i) Marketers. Marketers who first claim that the used oil fuel 
contains no detectable PCBs must include among the records required by 
40 CFR 279.72(b) and 279.74(b) and (c), copies of the analysis or other 
information documenting his claim, and he must include among the records 
required by 40 CFR 279.74(a) and (c) and 279.75, a copy of each 
certification notice received or prepared relating to transactions 
involving PCB-containing used oil.

[[Page 515]]

    (ii) Burners. Burners must include among the records required by 40 
CFR 279.65 and 279.66, a copy of each certification notice required by 
paragraph (e)(3)(ii) of this section that he sends to a marketer.

Sec. 761.30  Authorizations.

    The following non-totally enclosed PCB activities are authorized 
pursuant to section 6(e)(2)(B) of TSCA:
    (a) Use in and servicing of transformers (other than railroad 
transformers). PCBs at any concentration may be used in transformers 
(other than in railroad locomotives and self-propelled railroad cars) 
and may be used for purposes of servicing including rebuilding these 
transformers for the remainder of their useful lives, subject to the 
following conditions:
    (1) Use conditions. (i) As of October 1, 1985, the use and storage 
for reuse of PCB Transformers that pose an exposure risk to food or feed 
is prohibited.
    (ii) As of October 1, 1990, the use of network PCB Transformers with 
higher secondary voltages (secondary voltages equal to or greater than 
480 volts, including 480/277 volt systems) in or near commercial 
buildings is prohibited. Network PCB Transformers with higher secondary 
voltages which are removed from service in accordance with this 
requirement must either be reclassified to PCB Contaminated or non PCB 
status, placed into storage for disposal, or disposed.
    (iii) Except as otherwise provided, as of October 1, 1985, the 
installation of PCB Transformers, which have been placed into storage 
for reuse or which have been removed from another location, in or near 
commercial buildings is prohibited.
    (A) Retrofilled mineral oil PCB Transformers may be installed for 
reclassification purposes indefinitely after October 1, 1990.
    (B) Once a retrofilled transformer has been installed for 
reclassification purposes, it must be tested 3 months after installation 
to ascertain the concentration of PCBs. If the PCB concentration is 
below 50 ppm, the transformer can be reclassified as a non-PCB 
Transformer. If the PCB concentration is between 50 and 500 ppm, the 
transformer can be reclassified as a PCB-Contaminated transformer. If 
the PCB concentration remains at 500 ppm or greater, the entire process 
must either be repeated until the transformer has been reclassified to a 
non-PCB or PCB-Contaminated transformer in accordance with paragraph 
(a)(2)(v) of this section or

[[Page 516]]

the transformer must be removed from service.
    (iv) As of October 1, 1990, all higher secondary voltage radial PCB 
Transformers, in use in or near commercial buildings, and lower 
secondary voltage network PCB Transformers not located in sidewalk 
vaults in or near commercial buildings (network transformers with 
secondary voltages below 480 volts) that have not been removed from 
service as provided in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(B) of this section, must be 
equipped with electrical protection to avoid transformer ruptures caused 
by high current faults. As of February 25, 1991, all lower secondary 
voltage radial PCB Transformers, in use in or near commercial buildings, 
must be equipped with electrical protection to avoid transformer 
ruptures caused by high current faults.
    (A) Current-limiting fuses or other equivalent technology must be 
used to detect sustained high current faults and provide for the 
complete deenergization of the transformer (within several hundredths of 
a second in the case of higher secondary voltage radial PCB Transformers 
and within tenths of a second in the case of lower secondary voltage 
network PCB Transformers), before transformer rupture occurs. Lower 
secondary voltage radial PCB Transformers must be equipped with 
electrical protection as provided in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(E) of this 
section. The installation, setting, and maintenance of current-limiting 
fuses or other equivalent technology to avoid PCB Transformer ruptures 
from sustained high current faults must be completed in accordance with 
good engineering practices.
    (B) All lower secondary voltage network PCB Transformers not located 
in sidewalk vaults (network transformers with secondary voltages below 
480 volts), in use in or near commercial buildings, which have not been 
protected as specified in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(A) of this section by 
October 1, 1990, must be removed from service by October 1, 1993.
    (C) As of October 1, 1990, owners of lower secondary voltage network 
PCB Transformers, in use in or near commercial buildings which have not 
been protected as specified in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(A) of this section 
and which are not located in sidewalk vaults, must register in writing 
those transformers with the EPA Regional Administrator in the 
appropriate region. The information required to be provided in writing 
to the Regional Administrator includes:
    (1) The specific location of the PCB Transformer(s).
    (2) The address(es) of the building(s) and the physical location of 
the PCB Transformer(s) on the building site(s).
    (3) The identification number(s) of the PCB Transformer(s).
    (D) As of October 1, 1993, all lower secondary voltage network PCB 
Transformers located in sidewalk vaults (network transformers with 
secondary voltages below 480 volts) in use near commercial buildings 
must be removed from service.
    (E) As of February 25, 1991, all lower secondary voltage radial PCB 
Transformers must be equipped with electrical protection, such as 
current-limiting fuses or other equivalent technology, to detect 
sustained high current faults and provide for the complete 
deenergization of the transformer or complete deenergization of the 
faulted phase of the transformer within several hundredths of a second. 
The installation, setting, and maintenance of current-limiting fuses or 
other equivalent technology to avoid PCB Transformer ruptures from 
sustained high current faults must be completed in accordance with good 
engineering practices.
    (v) As of October 1, 1990, all radial PCB Transformers with higher 
secondary voltages (480 volts and above, including 480/277 volt systems) 
in use in or near commercial buildings must, in addition to the 
requirements of paragraph (a)(1)(iv)(A) of this section, be equipped 
with protection to avoid transformer ruptures caused by sustained low 
current faults.
    (A) Pressure and temperature sensors (or other equivalent technology 
which has been demonstrated to be effective in early detection of 
sustained low current faults) must be used in these transformers to 
detect sustained low current faults.

[[Page 517]]

    (B) Disconnect equipment must be provided to insure complete 
deenergization of the transformer in the event of a sensed abnormal 
condition (e.g., an overpressure or overtemperature condition in the 
transformer), caused by a sustained low current fault. The disconnect 
equipment must be configured to operate automatically within 30 seconds 
to 1 minute of the receipt of a signal indicating an abnormal condition 
from a sustained low current fault, or can be configured to allow for 
manual deenergization from a manned on-site control center upon the 
receipt of an audio or visual signal indicating an abnormal condition 
caused by a sustained low current fault. Manual deenergization from a 
manned on-site control center must occur within 1 minute of the receipt 
of the audio or visual signal indicating an abnormal condition caused by 
a sustained low current fault. If automatic operation is selected and a 
circuit breaker is utilized for disconnection, it must also have the 
capability to be manually opened if necessary.
    (C) The enhanced electrical protective system required for the 
detection of sustained low current faults and the complete and rapid 
deenergization of transformers must be properly installed, maintained, 
and set sensitive enough (in accordance with good engineering practices) 
to detect sustained low current faults and allow for rapid and total 
deenergization prior to PCB Transformer rupture (either violent or non 
violent rupture) and release of PCBs.
    (vi)(A) No later than December 28, 1998 all owners of PCB 
Transformers, including those in storage for reuse, must register their 
transformers with the Environmental Protection Agency, National Program 
Chemicals Division, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (7404), 
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. This registration requirement is 
subject to the limitations in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (1) A transformer owner who assumes a transformer is a PCB-
Contaminated transformer, and discovers after December 28, 1998 that it 
is a PCB-Transformer, must register the newly-identified PCB 
Transformer, in writing, with the Environmental Protection Agency no 
later than 30 days after it is identified as such. This requirement does 
not apply to transformer owners who have previously registered with the 
EPA PCB Transformers located at the same address as the transformer that 
they assumed to be PCB-Contaminated and later determined to be a PCB 
Transformer.
    (2) A person who takes possession of a PCB Transformer after 
December 28, 1998 is not required to register or re-register the 
transformer with the EPA.
    (B) Any person submitting a registration under this section must 
include:
    (1) Company name and address.
    (2) Contact name and telephone number.
    (3) Address where these transformers are located. For mobile sources 
such as ships, provide the name of the ship.
    (4) Number of PCB Transformers and the total weight in kilograms of 
PCBs contained in the transformers.
    (5) Whether any transformers at this location contain flammable 
dielectric fluid (optional).
    (6) Signature of the owner, operator, or other authorized 
representative certifying the accuracy of the information submitted.
    (C) A transformer owner must retain a record of each PCB 
Transformer's registration (e.g., a copy of the registration and the 
return receipt signed by EPA) with the inspection and maintenance 
records required for each PCB Transformer under paragraph (a)(1)(xii)(I) 
of this section.
    (D) A transformer owner must comply with all requirements of 
paragraph (a)(1)(vi)(A) of this section to continue the PCB-
Transformer's authorization for use, or storage for reuse, pursuant to 
this section and TSCA section 6(e)(2)(B).
    (vii) As of December 1, 1985, PCB Transformers in use in or near 
commercial buildings must be registered with building owners. For PCB 
Transformers located in commercial buildings, PCB Transformer owners 
must register the transformers with the building owner of record. For 
PCB Transformers located near commercial buildings, PCB Transformer 
owners must register the transformers with all owners of buildings 
located within 30

[[Page 518]]

meters of the PCB Transformer(s). Information required to be provided to 
building owners by PCB Transformer owners includes but is not limited 
to:
    (A) The specific location of the PCB Transformer(s).
    (B) The principal constituent of the dielectric fluid in the 
transformer(s) (e.g., PCBs, mineral oil, or silicone oil).
    (C) The type of transformer installation (e.g., 208/120 volt 
network, 208/120 volt radial, 208 volt radial, 480 volt network, 480/277 
volt network, 480 volt radial, 480/277 volt radial).
    (viii) As of December 1, 1985, combustible materials, including, but 
not limited to paints, solvents, plastics, paper, and sawn wood must not 
be stored within a PCB Transformer enclosure (i.e., in a transformer 
vault or in a partitioned area housing a transformer); within 5 meters 
of a transformer enclosure, or, if unenclosed (unpartitioned), within 5 
meters of a PCB Transformer.
    (ix) A visual inspection of each PCB Transformer (as defined in the 
definition of ``PCB Transformer'' under Sec. 761.3) in use or stored for 
reuse shall be performed at least once every 3 months. These inspections 
may take place any time during the 3-month periods: January-March, 
April-June, July-September, and October-December as long as there is a 
minimum of 30 days between inspections. The visual inspection must 
include investigation for any leak of dielectric fluid on or around the 
transformer. The extent of the visual inspections will depend on the 
physical constraints of each transformer installation and should not 
require an electrical shutdown of the transformer being inspected.
    (x) If a PCB Transformer is found to have a leak which results in 
any quantity of PCBs running off or about to run off the external 
surface of the transformer, then the transformer must be repaired or 
replaced to eliminate the source of the leak. In all cases any leaking 
material must be cleaned up and properly disposed of according to 
disposal requirements of subpart D of this part. Cleanup of the released 
PCBs must be initiated as soon as possible, but in no case later than 48 
hours of its discovery. Until appropriate action is completed, any 
active leak of PCBs must be contained to prevent exposure of humans or 
the environment and inspected daily to verify containment of the leak. 
Trenches, dikes, buckets, and pans are examples of proper containment 
measures.
    (xi) If a PCB Transformer is involved in a fire-related incident, 
the owner of the transformer must immediately report the incident to the 
National Response Center (toll-free 1-800-424-8802; in Washington, DC 
202-426-2675). A fire-related incident is defined as any incident 
involving a PCB Transformer which involves the generation of sufficient 
heat and/or pressure (by any source) to result in the violent or non-
violent rupture of a PCB Transformer and the release of PCBs. 
Information must be provided regarding the type of PCB Transformer 
installation involved in the fire-related incident (e.g., high or low 
secondary voltage network transformer, high or low secondary voltage 
simple radial system, expanded radial system, primary selective system, 
primary loop system, or secondary selective system or other systems) and 
the readily ascertainable cause of the fire-related incident (e.g., high 
current fault in the primary or secondary or low current fault in 
secondary). The owner of the PCB Transformer must also take measures as 
soon as practically and safely possible to contain and control any 
potential releases of PCBs and incomplete combustion products into 
water. These measures include, but are not limited to:
    (A) The blocking of all floor drains in the vicinity of the 
transformer.
    (B) The containment of water runoff.
    (C) The control and treatment (prior to release) of any water used 
in subsequent cleanup operations.
    (xii) Records of inspection and maintenance history shall be 
maintained at least 3 years after disposing of the transformer and shall 
be made available for inspection, upon request by EPA. Such records 
shall contain the following information for each PCB Transformer:
    (A) Its location.
    (B) The date of each visual inspection and the date that leak was 
discovered, if different from the inspection date.
    (C) The person performing the inspection.
    (D) The location of any leak(s).

[[Page 519]]

    (E) An estimate of the amount of dielectric fluid released from any 
leak.
    (F) The date of any cleanup, containment, repair, or replacement.
    (G) A description of any cleanup, containment, or repair performed.
    (H) The results of any containment and daily inspection required for 
uncorrected active leaks.
    (I) Record of the registration of PCB Transformer(s).
    (J) Records of transfer of ownership of a PCB Item (excluding intact 
non-leaking small capacitors) with a PCB concentration of 500 
ppm, when records are not maintained in compliance with 
Sec. 761.180(a)(2).
    (xiii) A reduced visual inspection frequency of at least once every 
12 months applies to PCB Transformers that utilize either of the 
following risk reduction measures. These inspections may take place any 
time during the calendar year as long as there is a minimum of 180 days 
between inspections.
    (A) A PCB Transformer which has impervious, undrained, secondary 
containment capacity of at least 100 percent of the total dielectric 
fluid volume of all transformers so contained or
    (B) A PCB Transformer which has been tested and found to contain 
less than 60,000 ppm PCBs (after 3 months of in service use if the 
transformer has been serviced for purposes of reducing the PCB 
concentration).
    (xiv) An increased visual inspection frequency of at least once 
every week applies to any PCB Transformer in use or stored for reuse 
which poses an exposure risk to food or feed. The user of a PCB 
Transformer posing an exposure risk to food is responsible for the 
inspection, recordkeeping, and maintenance requirements under this 
section until the user notifies the owner that the transformer may pose 
an exposure risk to food or feed. Following such notification, it is the 
owner's ultimate responsibility to determine whether the PCB Transformer 
poses an exposure risk to food or feed.
    (xv) In the event a mineral oil transformer, assumed to contain less 
than 500 ppm of PCBs as provided in Sec. 761.2, is tested and found to 
be contaminated at 500 ppm or greater PCBs, it will be subject to all 
the requirements of this Part 761. In addition, efforts must be 
initiated immediately to bring the transformer into compliance in 
accordance with the following schedule:
    (A) Report fire-related incidents, effective immediately after 
discovery.
    (B) Mark the PCB transformer within 7 days after discovery.
    (C) Mark the vault door, machinery room door, fence, hallway or 
other means of access to the PCB Transformer within 7 days after 
discovery.
    (D) Register the PCB Transformer in writing with the building owner 
within 30 days of discovery.
    (E) Install electrical protective equipment on a radial PCB 
Transformer and a non-sidewalk vault, lower secondary voltage network 
PCB Transformer in or near a commercial building within 18 months of 
discovery or by October 1, 1990, whichever is later.
    (F) Remove a non-sidewalk vault, lower secondary voltage network PCB 
Transformer in or near a commercial building, if electrical protective 
equipment is not installed, within 18 months of discovery or by October 
1, 1993, whichever is later.
    (G) Remove a lower secondary voltage network PCB Transformer located 
in a sidewalk vault in or near a commercial building, within 18 months 
of discovery or by October 1, 1993, whichever is later.
    (H) Retrofill and reclassify a radial PCB Transformer or a lower or 
higher secondary voltage network PCB Transformer, located in other than 
a sidewalk vault in or near a commercial building, within 18 months or 
by October 1, 1990, whichever is later. This is an option in lieu of 
installing electrical protective equipment on a radial or lower 
secondary voltage network PCB Transformer located in other than a 
sidewalk vault or of removing a higher secondary voltage network PCB 
Transformer or a lower secondary voltage network PCB Transformer, 
located in a sidewalk vault, from service.
    (I) Retrofill and reclassify a lower secondary voltage network PCB 
Transformer, located in a sidewalk vault, in or near a commercial 
building within 18 months or by October 1, 1993, whichever is later. 
This is an option in lieu of installing electrical protective equipment 
or removing the transformer from service.

[[Page 520]]

    (J) Retrofill and reclassify a higher secondary voltage network PCB 
Transformer, located in a sidewalk vault, in or near a commercial 
building within 18 months or by October 1, 1990, whichever is later. 
This is an option in lieu of other requirements.
    (2) Servicing conditions. (i) Transformers classified as PCB-
Contaminated Electrical Equipment (as defined in the definition of 
``PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment'' under Sec. 761.3) may be 
serviced (including rebuilding) only with dielectric fluid containing 
less than 500 ppm PCB.
    (ii) Any servicing (including rebuilding) of PCB Transformers (as 
defined in the definition of ``PCB Transformer'' under Sec. 761.3) that 
requires the removal of the transformer coil from the transformer casing 
is prohibited. PCB Transformers may be serviced (including topping off) 
with dielectric fluid at any PCB concentration.
    (iii) PCBs removed during any servicing activity must be captured 
and either reused as dielectric fluid or disposed of in accordance with 
the requirements of Sec. 761.60. PCBs from PCB Transformers must not be 
mixed with or added to dielectric fluid from PCB-Contaminated Electrical 
Equipment.
    (iv) Regardless of its PCB concentration, dielectric fluids 
containing less than 500 ppm PCB that are mixed with fluids that contain 
500 ppm or greater PCB must not be used as dielectric fluid in any 
electrical equipment. The entire mixture of dielectric fluid must be 
considered to be greater than 500 ppm PCB and must be disposed of in an 
incinerator that meets the requirements in Sec. 761.70.
    (v) A PCB Transformer may be converted to PCB-Contaminated 
Electrical Equipment or to a non-PCB Transformer and a transformer that 
is classified as PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment may be 
reclassified to a non-PCB Transformer by draining, refilling and/or 
otherwise servicing the transformer. In order to reclassify, the 
transformer's dielectric fluid must contain less than 500 ppm PCB (for 
conversion to PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment) or less than 50 ppm 
PCB (for conversion to a non-PCB Transformer) after a minimum of three 
months of in-service use subsequent to the last servicing conducted for 
the purpose of reducing the PCB concentration in the transformer. In-
service means that the transformer is used electrically under loaded 
conditions that raise the temperature of the dielectric fluid to at 
least 50 deg. Centigrade. The Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division may grant, without further rulemaking, approval for the use of 
alternative methods that simulate the loaded conditions of in-service 
use. All PCBs removed from transformers for purposes of reducing PCB 
concentrations are subject to the disposal requirements of Sec. 761.60.
    (vi) Any dielectric fluid containing 50 ppm or greater PCB used for 
servicing transformers must be stored in accordance with the storage for 
disposal requirements of Sec. 761.65.
    (vii) Processing and distribution in commerce of PCBs for purposes 
of servicing transformers is permitted only for persons who are granted 
an exemption under TSCA 6(e)(3)(B).
    (b) Use in and servicing of railroad transformers. PCBs may be used 
in transformers in railroad locomotives or railroad self-propelled cars 
(``railroad transformers'') and may be processed and distributed in 
commerce for purposes of servicing these transformers in a manner other 
than a totally enclosed manner subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Use restrictions. After July 1, 1986, use of railroad 
transformers that contain dielectric fluids with a PCB concentration 
>1,000 ppm is prohibited.
    (2) Servicing restrictions. (i) If the coil is removed from the 
casing of a railroad transformer (e.g., the transformer is rebuilt), 
after January 1, 1982, the railroad transformer may not be refilled with 
dielectric fluid containing a PCB concentration greater than 50 ppm;
    (ii) After January 1, 1984, railroad transformers may only be 
serviced with dielectric fluid containing less than 1000 ppm PCB, except

natural gas pipeline

[[Page 523]]

systems, or by December 28, 1998, whichever is later, characterizes the 
extent of PCB contamination by collecting and analyzing samples to 
identify the upstream and downstream end points of the segment or 
component where PCBs 50 ppm were discovered.
    (3) Within 120 days of characterization of the extent of PCB 
contamination, or by December 28, 1998, whichever is later, samples and 
analyzes all potential sources of introduction of PCBs into the natural 
gas pipeline system for PCBs 50 ppm. Potential sources 
include natural gas compressors, natural gas scrubbers, natural gas 
filters, and interconnects where natural gas is received upstream from 
the most downstream sampling point where PCBs 50 ppm were 
detected; potential sources exclude valves, drips, or other small liquid 
condensate collection points.
    (4) Within 1 year of characterization of the extent of PCB 
contamination, reduces all demonstrated sources of PCBs 50 
ppm to 50 ppm, or removes such sources from the natural gas pipeline 
system; or implements other engineering measures or methods to reduce 
PCB levels to 50 ppm and to prevent further introduction of PCBs 
50 ppm into the natural gas pipeline system (e.g., pigging, 
decontamination, in-line filtration).
    (5) Repeats sampling and analysis at least annually where PCBs are 
50 ppm, until sampling results indicate the natural gas 
pipeline segment or component is 50 ppm PCB in two successive samples 
with a minimum interval between samples of 180 days.
    (6) Marks aboveground sources of PCB liquids in natural gas pipeline 
systems with the ML Mark in accordance with Sec. 761.45(a),

include potential sources of PCB contamination as described in paragraph 
(i)(1)(iii)(A)(3) of this section containing 50 ppm PCB are 
not subject to paragraphs (i)(1)(iii)(A)(2), (i)(1)(iii)(A)(3), 
(i)(1)(iii)(A)(4), or (i)(1)(iii)(A)(6) of this section. Owners or 
operators of these systems, however, must comply with the other 
provisions of this section (e.g., sampling of any collected PCB liquids 
and recordkeeping).
    (C) The owner or operator of a natural gas pipeline system must 
document in writing all data collected and actions taken, or not taken, 
pursuant to the authorization in paragraph (i)(1)(iii)(A) of this 
section. They must maintain the information for 3 years after the PCB 
concentration in the component or segment is reduced to 50 ppm, and make 
it available to EPA upon request.
    (D) The Director, National Program Chemicals Division, after 
consulting with the appropriate EPA Region(s) may, based on a finding of 
no unreasonable risk, modify in writing the requirements of paragraph 
(i)(1)(iii)(A) of this section, including extending any compliance date, 
approving alternative formats for documentation, waiving one or more 
requirements for a segment or component, requiring sampling and 
analysis, and requiring implementation of engineering measures to reduce 
PCB concentrations. EPA will make such modifications based on the 
natural gas pipeline system size, configuration, and current operating 
conditions; nature, extent or source of contamination; proximity of 
contamination to end-users; or previous sampling, monitoring, remedial 
actions or documentation of activities taken regarding compliance with 
this authorization or other applicable Federal, State, or local laws and 
regulations. The Director, National Program Chemicals Division, may 
delegate the authority described in this paragraph, upon request, to the 
appropriate EPA Region.

    (4) Any person characterizing PCB contamination in natural gas pipe 
or natural gas pipeline systems must do so by analyzing liquids 
collected at existing condensate collection points in the pipe or 
pipeline system. The level of PCB contamination found at a collection 
point is assumed to extend to the next collection point downstream. Any 
person characterizing multi-phasic liquids must do so in accordance with 
Sec. 761.1(b)(4); if no liquids are present, they must use standard wipe 
samples in accordance with subpart M of this part.
    (5)(i) Any person disposing of liquids containing PCBs 50 
ppm removed, spilled, or otherwise released from a natural gas pipeline 
system must do so in accordance with Sec. 761.60(a) based on the PCB

                     Subpart D--Storage and Disposal

    Note: This subpart does not require removal of PCBs and PCB Items 
from service and disposal earlier than would normally be the case. 
However, when PCBs and PCB Items are removed from service and disposed 
of, disposal must be undertaken in accordance with these regulations. 
PCBs (including soils and debris) and PCB Items which have been placed 
in a disposal site are considered to be ``in service'' for purposes of 
the applicability of this subpart. This subpart does not require PCBs 
and PCB Items landfilled prior to February 17, 1978 to be removed for 
disposal. However, if such PCBs or PCB Items are removed from the 
disposal site, they must be disposed of in accordance with this subpart. 
Other subparts are directed to the manufacture, processing, distribution 
in commerce, and use of PCBs and may result

in some cases in disposal at an earlier date than would otherwise occur.


    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35444, June 29, 1998, subpart D to 
part 761 was amended by removing the ``Note'' appearing following the 
subpart heading, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.50   Applicability.

    (a) General PCB disposal requirements. Any person storing or 
disposing of PCB waste must do so in accordance with subpart D of this 
part. The following prohibitions and conditions apply to all PCB waste 
storage and disposal:
    (1) No person may open burn PCBs. Combustion of PCBs approved under 
Sec. 761.60 (a) or (e), or otherwise allowed under part 761, is not open 
burning.
    (2) No person may process liquid PCBs into non-liquid forms to 
circumvent the high temperature incineration requirements of 
Sec. 761.60(a).
    (3) No person may discharge water containing PCBs to a treatment 
works (as defined Sec. 503.9(aa) of this chapter) or to navigable waters 
unless the PCB concentration is <3 g/L (approximately 3 ppb), 
or unless the discharge is in accordance with a PCB discharge limit 
included in a permit issued under section 307(b) or 402 of the Clean 
Water Act.
    (4) Spills and other uncontrolled discharges of PCBs at 
concentrations of 50 ppm constitute the disposal of PCBs.
    (5) Any person land disposing of non-liquid PCBs may avoid 
otherwise-applicable sampling requirements by presuming that the PCBs 
disposed of are 500 ppm (or 100 g/100 
cm2 if no free-flowing liquids are present).
    (6) Any person storing or disposing of PCBs is also responsible for 
determining and complying with all other applicable Federal, State, and 
local laws and regulations.
    (b) PCB waste. (1) PCB liquids. Any person removing PCB liquids from 
use (i.e., not PCB remediation waste) must dispose of them in accordance 
with Sec. 761.60(a), or decontaminate them in accordance with 
Sec. 761.79.
    (2) PCB Items. Any person removing from use a PCB Item containing an 
intact and non-leaking PCB Article must dispose of it in accordance with 
Sec. 761.60(b), or decontaminate it in accordance with Sec. 761.79. PCB 
Items where the PCB Articles are no longer intact and non-leaking are 
regulated for disposal as PCB bulk product waste under Sec. 761.62(a) or 
(c).
    (i) Fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs only in an intact and 
non-leaking PCB Small Capacitor are regulated for disposal under 
Sec. 761.60(b)(2)(ii).
    (ii) Fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs in the potting 
material are regulated for disposal as PCB bulk product waste under 
Sec. 761.62.
    (3) PCB remediation waste. PCB remediation waste, including PCB 
sewage sludge, is regulated for cleanup and disposal in accordance with 
Sec. 761.61.
    (i) Any person responsible for PCB waste at concentrations 
50 ppm placed in a land disposal facility, spilled, or 
otherwise released into the environment prior to April 18, 1978, must 
dispose of the waste as follows:
    (A) Sites containing these wastes are presumed not to present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment from exposure 
to PCBs at the site. However, the EPA Regional Administrator may inform 
the owner or operator of the site that there is reason to believe that 
spills, leaks, or other uncontrolled releases or discharges, such as 
leaching, from the site constitute ongoing disposal that may present an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment from exposure 
to PCBs at the site, and may require the owner or operator to generate 
data necessary to characterize the risk. If after reviewing any such 
data, the EPA Regional Administrator makes a finding, that an 
unreasonable risk exists, then he or she may direct the owner or 
operator of the site to dispose of the PCB remediation waste in 
accordance with Sec. 761.61 such that an unreasonable risk of injury no 
longer exists.
    (B) Unless directed by the EPA Regional Administrator to dispose of 
PCB remediation waste in accordance with paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A) of this 
section, any person responsible for PCB remediation waste placed in a 
land disposal facility, spilled, or otherwise released into the 
environment prior to April 18, 1978, who unilaterally decides to dispose 
of that waste (for example, to obtain insurance or to sell the 
property),

[[Page 535]]

is not required to cleanup in accordance with Sec. 761.61. Disposal of 
the PCB remediation waste must comply with Sec. 761.61. However, cleanup 
of those wastes that is not in complete compliance with Sec. 761.61 will 
not afford the responsible party with relief from the applicable PCB 
regulations for that waste.
    (ii) Any person responsible for PCB waste placed in a land disposal 
facility, spilled, or otherwise released into the environment on or 
after April 18, 1978, must dispose of it as follows:
    (A) In accordance with the PCB Spill Cleanup Policy (Policy) at 
subpart G of this part, for those PCB remediation wastes that meet the 
criteria of the Policy. Consult the Policy for a description of the 
spills it covers and its notification and timing requirements.
    (B) In accordance with Sec. 761.61. Complete compliance with 
Sec. 761.61 does not create a presumption against enforcement action for 
penalties for any unauthorized PCB disposal.
    (iii) The owner or operator of a site containing PCB remediation 
waste has the burden of proving the date that the waste was placed in a 
land disposal facility, spilled, or otherwise released into the 
environment, and the concentration of the original spill.
    (4) PCB bulk product waste--(i) General. Any person disposing of PCB 
bulk product waste must do so in accordance with Sec. 761.62. PCB bulk 
product waste, as that term is defined in Sec. 761.3, is waste that was 
50 ppm when originally removed from service, even if its 
current PCB concentration is <50 ppm. PCB bulk product waste is 
regulated for disposal based on the risk from the waste once disposed 
of. For waste which is land disposed, the waste is regulated based on 
how readily the waste is released from disposal to the environment, in 
particular by leaching out from the land disposal unit.
    (ii) Metal surfaces in contact with PCBs. Any person disposing of 
metal surfaces in contact with PCBs (e.g., painted metal) may use 
thermal decontamination procedures in accordance with Sec. 761.79(c)(6) 
(see Sec. 761.62(a)(6)).
    (5) PCB household waste. Any person storing or disposing of PCB 
household waste, as that term is defined in Sec. 761.3, must do so in 
accordance with Sec. 761.63.
    (6) PCB research and development waste. Any person disposing of PCB 
wastes generated during and as a result of research and development for 
use under Sec. 761.30(j), or for disposal under Sec. 761.60(j), must do 
so in accordance with Sec. 761.64.
    (7) PCB/Radioactive waste. (i) Any person storing PCB/radioactive 
waste 50 ppm PCBs must do so taking into account both its PCB 
concentration and its radioactive properties, except as provided in 
Sec. 761.65(a)(1), (b)(1)(ii), and (c)(6)(i).
    (ii) Any person disposing of PCB/radioactive waste must do so taking 
into account both its PCB concentration and its radioactive properties. 
If, taking into account only the properties of the PCBs in the waste 
(and not the radioactive properties of the waste), the waste meets the 
requirements for disposal in a facility permitted, licensed, or 
registered by a State as a municipal or non-municipal non-hazardous 
waste landfill (e.g., PCB bulk product waste under Sec. 761.62(b)(1)), 
then the person may dispose of the PCB/radioactive waste, without regard 
to the PCB component of the waste, on the basis of its radioactive 
properties in accordance with all applicable requirements for the 
radioactive component of the waste.
    (8) Porous surfaces. In most cases a person must dispose of porous 
surfaces as materials where PCBs have penetrated far beneath the 
surface, rather than a simple surface contamination. Any person 
disposing of porous surfaces on which PCBs have been spilled and meeting 
the definition of PCB remediation waste at Sec. 761.3 must do so in 
accordance with Sec. 761.61(a)(5)(iii). Any person disposing of porous 
surfaces which are part of manufactured non-liquid products containing 
PCBs and meeting the definition of PCB bulk product waste at Sec. 761.3 
must do so in accordance with Sec. 761.62. Any person may decontaminate 
concrete surfaces upon which PCBs have been spilled in accordance with 
Sec. 761.79(b)(4), if the decontamination procedure is commenced within 
72 hours of the initial spill of PCBs to the concrete or portion thereof 
being decontaminated. Any person may decontaminate porous non-liquid 
PCBs in contact with non-porous

[[Page 536]]

surfaces, such as underground metal fuel tanks coated with fire 
retardant resin or pitch, for purposes of unrestricted use or disposal 
in a smelter in accordance with Sec. 761.79(b)(3).
    (c) Storage for disposal. Any person who holds PCB waste must store 
it in accordance with Sec. 761.65.
    (d) Performance specifications for disposal technologies--(1) 
Incinerators. Any person using an incinerator to dispose of PCBs must 
use an incinerator that meets the criteria set forth in Sec. 761.70.
    (2) High efficiency boilers. Any person using a high efficiency 
boiler to dispose of PCBs must use a boiler that meets the criteria set 
forth in Sec. 761.71.
    (3) Scrap metal recovery ovens and smelters. Any person using scrap 
metal recovery ovens and smelters to dispose of PCBs must use a device 
that meets the criteria set forth in Sec. 761.72.
    (4) Chemical waste landfills. Any person using a chemical waste 
landfill to dispose of PCBs must use a chemical waste landfill that 
meets the criteria set forth in Sec. 761.75.
    (e) TSCA PCB Coordinated Approval. Any person seeking a TSCA PCB 
Coordinated Approval must follow the procedures set forth in 
Sec. 761.77.
[63 FR 35444, June 29, 1998]

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35444, June 29, 1998, Sec. 761.50 was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.60   Disposal requirements.

in paragraph (a)(5) (i) or (ii) of this section must be made in writing 
to the Regional Administrator. The application must contain information 
that, based on technical, environmental, and economic considerations, 
indicates that disposal in an incinerator or chemical waste landfill is 
not reasonable and appropriate, and that the alternate disposal method 
will provide adequate protection to health and the environment. The 
Regional Administrator may request other information that he or she 
believes to be necessary for evaluation of the alternate disposal 
method. Any approval by the Regional Administrator shall be in writing 
and may contain any appropriate limitations on the approved alternate 
method for disposal. In addition to these regulations, the Regional 
Administrator shall consider other applicable Agency guidelines, 
criteria, and regulations to ensure that the discharges of dredged 
material and sludges that contain

[[Page 537]]

PCBs and other contaminants are adequately controlled to protect the 
environment. The person to whom such approval is issued must comply with 
all limitations contained in the approval.
    (6) When storage is desired prior to disposal, PCBs at 
concentrations of 50 ppm or greater shall be stored in a facility which 
complies with Sec. 761.65.
    (b) PCB Articles. This paragraph does not authorize disposal that is 
otherwise prohibited in Sec. 761.20 or elsewhere in this part.
    (1) Transformers. (i) PCB Transformers shall be disposed of in 
accordance with either of the following:
    (A) In an incinerator that complies with Sec. 761.70; or
    (B) In a chemical waste landfill approved under Sec. 761.75; 
provided that all free-flowing liquid is removed from the transformer, 
the transformer is filled with a solvent, the transformer is allowed to 
stand for at least 18 continuous hours, and then the solvent is 
thoroughly removed. Any person disposing of PCB liquids, including both 
the dielectric fluid and all solvents used as a flush, that are removed 
from the transformer, shall do so in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section or decontaminate them in accordance with Sec. 761.79. 
Solvents may include kerosene, xylene, toluene, and other solvents in 
which PCBs are readily soluble. Any person disposing of these PCB 
liquids must ensure that the solvent flushing procedure is conducted in 
accordance with applicable safety and health standards as required by 
Federal or State regulations.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (2) PCB Capacitors. (i) The disposal of any capacitor shall comply 
with all requirements of this subpart unless it is known from label or 
nameplate information, manufacturer's literature (including documented 
communications with the manufacturer), or chemical analysis that the 
capacitor does not contain PCBs.
    (ii) Any person may dispose of PCB Small Capacitors as municipal 
solid waste, unless that person is subject to the requirements of 
paragraph (b)(2)(iv) of this section.
    (iii) Any PCB Large High or Low Voltage Capacitor which contains 500 
ppm or greater PCBs, owned by any person, shall be disposed of in 
accordance with either of the following:
    (A) Disposal in an incinerator that complies with Sec. 761.70; or
    (B) Until March 1, 1981, disposal in a chemical waste landfill that

container meeting the DOT packaging requirements at 49 CFR parts 171 
through 180 and dispose of them in accordance with either of the 
following:
    (A) Disposal in an incinerator which complies with Sec. 761.70; or
    (B) Until March 1, 1981, disposal in a chemical waste landfill which 
complies with Sec. 761.75.
    (v) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by paragraph 
(b)(2)(iii)(B) or (b)(2)(iv)(B) of this section, PCB capacitors may be 
disposed of in PCB chemical waste landfills that comply with Sec. 761.75 
subsequent to March 1, 1981, if the Assistant Administrator for 
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances publishes a notice in the 
Federal Register declaring that those landfills are available for such 
disposal and explaining the reasons for the extension or reopening. An 
extension or reopening for disposal of PCB capacitors that is granted 
under this subsection shall be subject to such terms and conditions as 
the Assistant Administrator may prescribe and shall be in effect for 
such period as the Assistant Administrator may prescribe. The Assistant 
Administrator may permit disposal of PCB capacitors in EPA approved 
chemical waste landfills after March 1, 1981, if in his opinion,
    (A) Adequate incineration capability for PCB capacitors is not 
available, or
    (B) The incineration of PCB capacitors will significantly interfere 
with the incineration of liquid PCBs, or
    (C) There is other good cause shown.

As part of this evaluation, the Assistant Administrator will consider 
the impact of his action on the incentives to construct or expand PCB

Contaminated surfaces must be protected from dermal exposure to those 
surfaces.
    (7) Storage of PCB Articles. Except for a PCB Article described in 
paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section and hydraulic machines that comply 
with the municipal solid waste disposal provisions described in 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section, any PCB Article, with PCB 
concentrations at 50 ppm or greater, shall be stored in accordance with 
Sec. 761.65 prior to disposal.
    (c) PCB Containers. (1) Unless decontaminated in compliance with 
Sec. 761.79 or as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, a PCB 
container with PCB concentrations at 500 ppm or greater shall be 
disposed of:
    (i) In an incinerator which complies with Sec. 761.70, or
    (ii) In a chemical waste landfill that complies with Sec. 761.75; 
provided that if there are PCBs in a liquid state, the PCB Container 
shall first be drained and the PCB liquid disposed of in accordance with 
paragraph (a) of this section.
    (2) Any PCB Container used to contain only PCBs at a concentration 
less than 500 ppm shall be disposed of as municipal solid wastes; 
provided that if the PCBs are in a liquid state, the PCB Container shall 
first be drained and the PCB liquid shall be disposed of in accordance 
with paragraph (a) of this section.
    (3) Prior to disposal, a PCB container with PCB concentrations at 50 
ppm or greater shall be stored in a unit which complies with 
Sec. 761.65.
    (d) Spills. (1) Spills and other uncontrolled discharges of PCBs at 
concentrations of 50 ppm or greater constitute the disposal of PCBs.
    (2) PCBs resulting from the clean-up and removal of spills, leaks, 
or other uncontrolled discharges, must be stored and disposed of in 
accordance with paragraph (a) of this section.
    (3) These regulations do not exempt any person from any actions or 
liability under other statutory authorities, including but not limited 
to the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act of 1980.
    (e) Any person who is required to incinerate any PCBs and PCB Items 
under this subpart and who can demonstrate that an alternative method of

[[Page 541]]

destroying PCBs and PCB Items exists and that this alternative method 
can achieve a level of performance equivalent to an incinerator approved 
under Sec. 761.70 or a high efficiency boiler operating in compliance 
with Sec. 761.71, must submit a written request to either the EPA 
Regional Administrator or the Director, National Program Chemicals 
Division, for a waiver from the incineration requirements of Sec. 761.70 
or Sec. 761.71. Requests for approval of alternate methods that will be 
operated in more than one Region must be submitted to the Director, 
National Program Chemicals Division except for research and development 
activities involving less than 500 pounds of PCB material (see paragraph 
(i)(2) of this section). Requests for approval of alternate methods that 
will be operated in only one Region must be submitted to the appropriate 
EPA Regional Administrator. The applicant must show that his or her 
method of destroying PCBs will not present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to health or the environment. On the basis of such information 
and any available information, the EPA Regional Administrator or the 
Director, National Program Chemicals Division may, in his or her 
discretion, approve the use of the alternate method if he or she finds 
that the alternate disposal method provides PCB destruction equivalent 
to disposal in a Sec. 761.70 incinerator or a Sec. 761.71 high 
efficiency boiler and will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment. Any approval must be stated in writing and 
may include such conditions and provisions as the EPA Regional 
Administrator or Director, National Program Chemicals Division deems 
appropriate. The person to whom such waiver is issued must comply with 
all limitations contained in such determination. No person may use the 
alternate method of destroying PCBs or PCB Items prior to obtaining 
permission from the appropriate EPA official.
    (f)(1) Each operator of a chemical waste landfill, incinerator, or 
alternative to incineration approved under paragraph (e) of this section 
shall give the following written notices to the state and local 
governments within whose jurisdiction the disposal facility is located:
    (i) Notice at least thirty (30) days before a facility is first used 
for disposal of PCBs required by these regulations; and
    (ii) At the request of any state or local government, annual notice 
of the quantities and general description of PCBs disposed of during the 
year. This annual notice shall be given no more than thirty (30) days 
after the end of the year covered.
    (iii) The Regional Administrator may reduce the notice period 
required by paragraph (f)(1)(i) of this section from thirty days to a 
period of no less than five days in order to expedite interim approval 
of the chemical waste landfill located in Sedgwick County, Kansas.
    (2) Any person who disposes of PCBs under a paragraph (a)(5)(iii) of 
this section incineration or chemical waste landfilling waiver shall 
give written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to conducting the 
disposal activities to the state and local governments within whose 
jurisdiction the disposal is to take place.
    (g) Testing procedures. (1) Owners or users of mineral oil 
dielectric fluid electrical equipment may use the following procedures 
to determine the concentration of PCBs in the dielectric fluid:
    (i) Dielectric fluid removed from mineral oil dielectric fluid 
electrical equipment may be collected in a common container, provided 
that no other chemical substances or mixtures are added to the 
container. This common container option does not permit dilution of the 
collected oil. Mineral oil that is assumed or known to contain at least 
50 ppm PCBs must not be mixed with mineral oil that is known or assumed 
to contain less than 50 ppm PCBs to reduce the concentration of PCBs in 
the common container. If dielectric fluid from untested, oil-filled 
circuit breakers, reclosers, or cable is collected in a common container 
with dielectric fluid from other oil-filled electrical equipment, the 
entire contents of the container must be treated as PCBs at a 
concentration of at least 50 ppm, unless all of the fluid from the other 
oil-filled electrical equipment

[[Page 542]]

has been tested and shown to contain less than 50 ppm PCBs.
    (ii) For purposes of complying with the marking and disposal 
requirements, representative samples may be taken from either the common 
containers or the individual electrical equipment to determine the PCB 
concentration, except that if any PCBs at a concentration of 500 ppm or 
greater have been added to the container or equipment then the total 
container contents must be considered as having a PCB concentration of 
500 ppm or greater for purposes of complying with the disposal 
requirements of this subpart. For purposes of this subparagraph, 
representative samples of mineral oil dielectric fluid are either 
samples taken in accordance with ASTM D 923-86 or ASTM D 923-89 or 
samples taken from a container that has been thoroughly mixed in a 
manner such that any PCBs in the container are uniformly distributed 
throughout the liquid in the container.
    (iii) Unless otherwise specified in this part, any person conducting 
the chemical analysis of PCBs shall do so using gas chromatography. Any 
gas chromatographic method that is appropriate for the material being 
analyzed may be used, including EPA Method 608, ``Organochlorine 
Pesticides and PCBs'' at 40 CFR part 136, Appendix A;'' EPA Method 8082, 
``Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) by Capillary Column Gas 
Chromatography'' of SW-846, ``OSW Test Methods for Evaluating Solid 
Waste,'' which is available from NTIS; and ASTM Standard D-4059, 
``Standard Test Method for Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in 
Insulating Liquids by Gas Chromatography,'' which is available from 
ASTM.
    (2) Owners or users of waste oil may use the following procedures to 
determine the PCB concentration of waste oil:
    (i) Waste oil from more than one source may be collected in a common 
container, provided that no other chemical substances or mixtures, such 
as non-waste oils, are added to the container.
    (ii) For purposes of complying with the marking and disposal 
requirements, representative samples may be taken from either the common 
containers or the individual electrical equipment to determine the PCB 
concentration. Except, That if any PCBs at a concentration of 500 ppm or 
greater have been added to the container or equipment then the total 
container contents must be considered as having a PCB concentration of 
500 ppm or greater for purposes of complying with the disposal 
requirements of this subpart. For purposes of this paragraph, 
representative samples of mineral oil dielectric fluid are either 
samples taken in accordance with ASTM D 923-86 or ASTM D 923-89 or 
samples taken from a container that has been thoroughly mixed in a 
manner such that any PCBs in the container are uniformly distributed 
throughout the liquid in the container.
    (iii) Unless otherwise specified in this part, any person conducting 
the chemical analysis of PCBs shall do so using gas chromatography. Any 
gas chromatographic method that is appropriate for the material being 
analyzed may be used, including those indicated in paragraph (g)(1)(iii) 
of this section.
    (h) Requirements for export and import of PCBs and PCB Items for 
disposal are found in Subpart F of this part.
    (i) Approval authority for disposal methods. (1) The officials (the 
Director, National Programs Chemical Division and the Regional 
Administrators) designated in Secs. 761.60(e) and 761.70 (a) and (b) to 
receive requests for approval of PCB disposal activities are the primary 
approval authorities for these activities. Notwithstanding, the 
Director, National Programs Chemical Division may, at his/her 
discretion, assign the authority to review and approve any aspect of a 
disposal system to the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic 
Substances or to a Regional Administrator.
    (2) Except for activity authorized under paragraph (j) of this 
section, research and development (R&D) for PCB disposal using a total 
of <500 pounds of PCB material (regardless of PCB concentration) will be 
reviewed and approved by the EPA Regional Administrator for the Region 
where the R&D will be conducted, and R&D for PCB disposal using 500 
pounds or more of

[[Page 543]]

PCB material (regardless of PCB concentration) will be reviewed and 
approved by the Director, National Program Chemicals Division.
    (j) Self-implementing requirements for research and development 
(R&D) for PCB disposal.
    (1) Any person may conduct R&D for PCB disposal without prior 
written approval from EPA if they meet the following conditions:
    (i) File a notification and obtain an EPA identification number 
pursuant to subpart K of this part.
    (ii) Notify in writing the EPA Regional Administrator, the State 
environmental protection agency, and local environmental protection 
agency, having jurisdiction where the R&D for PCB disposal activity will 
occur at least 30 days prior to the commencement of any R&D for PCB 
disposal activity conducted under this section. Each written 
notification shall include the EPA identification number of the site 
where the R&D for PCB disposal activities will be conducted, the 
quantity of PCBs to be treated, the type of R&D technology to be used, 
the general physical and chemical properties of material being treated, 
and an estimate of the duration of the PCB activity. The EPA Regional 
Administrator, the State environmental protection agency, and the local 
environmental protection agency may waive notification in writing prior 
to commencement of the research.
    (iii) The amount of material containing PCBs treated annually by the 
facility during R&D for PCB disposal activities does not exceed 500 
gallons or 70 cubic feet of liquid or non-liquid PCBs and does not 
exceed a maximum concentration of 10,000 ppm PCBs.
    (iv) No more than 1 kilogram total of pure PCBs per year is disposed 
of in all R&D for PCB disposal activities at a facility.
    (v) Each R&D for PCB disposal activity under this section lasts no 
more than 1 calendar year.
    (vi) Store all PCB wastes (treated and untreated PCB materials, 
testing samples, spent laboratory samples, residuals, untreated samples, 
contaminated media or instrumentation, clothing, etc.) in compliance 
with Sec. 761.65(b) and dispose of them according to the undiluted PCB 
concentration prior to treatment. However, PCB materials not treated in 
the R&D for PCB disposal activity may be returned either to the physical 
location where the samples were collected or a location where other 
regulated PCBs from the physical location where the samples were 
collected are being stored for disposal.
    (vii) Use manifests pursuant to subpart K of this part for all R&D 
PCB wastes being transported from the R&D facility to an approved PCB 
storage or disposal facility. However, Secs. 761.207 through 761.218 do 
not apply if the residuals or treated samples are returned either to the 
physical location where the samples were collected or a location where 
other regulated PCBs from the physical location where the samples were 
collected are being stored for disposal.
    (viii) Package and ship all PCB wastes pursuant to DOT requirements 
under 49 CFR parts 171 through 180.
    (ix) Comply with the recordkeeping requirements of Sec. 761.180.
    (2) Do not exceed material limitations set out in paragraphs (j)(1) 
(iii) and (iv) of this section and the time limitation set out in 
paragraph (j)(1)(v) of this section without prior written approval from 
EPA. Requests for approval to exceed the material limitations for PCBs 
in R&D for PCB disposal activities as specified in this section must be 
submitted in writing to the EPA Regional Administrator for the Region in 
which the facility conducting R&D for PCB disposal activities is 
located. Each request shall specify the quantity or concentration 
requested or additional time needed for disposal and include a 
justification for each increase. For extensions to the duration of the 
R&D for PCB disposal activity, the request shall also include a report 
on the accomplishments and progress of the previously authorized R&D for 
PCB disposal activity for which the extension is sought. The EPA 
Regional Administrator may grant a waiver in writing for an increase in 
the volume of PCB material, the maximum concentration of PCBs, the total 
amount of pure PCBs, or the duration of the R&D activity. Approvals will 
state all requirements applicable to the R&D for PCB disposal activity.

[[Page 544]]

    (3) The EPA Regional Administrator for the Region in which an R&D 
for PCB disposal activity is conducted may determine, at any time, that 
an R&D PCB disposal approval is required under paragraphs (e) and (i)(2) 
of this section or Sec. 761.70(d) to ensure that any R&D for PCB 
disposal activity does not present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment.

    (C) On the basis of the information in paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(B) of 
this section and any other available information, the Regional 
Administrator may, at his discretion, find that the alternate disposal 
method will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the 
environment and approve the use of the boiler;
    (D) When burning PCB wastes, the boiler must operate at a level of 
output no less than the output at which the measurements required under 
paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(B)(3) of this section were taken; and
    (E) Any person burning liquids in boilers approved as provided in 
paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(C) of this section, must obtain the following

this section). Requests for approval of alternate methods that will be 
operated in only one region must be submitted to the appropriate 
Regional Administrator. The applicant must show that his method of 
destroying PCBs will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment. On the basis of such information and any 
available information, the Regional Administrator or the Director, 
National Programs Chemical Division may, in his discretion, approve the 
use of the alternate method if he finds that the alternate disposal 
method provides PCB destruction equivalent to disposal in a Sec. 761.70 
incinerator or a Sec. 761.60 high efficiency boiler and will not present 
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. Any 
approval must be stated in writing and may contain such conditions and 
provisions as the Regional Administrator or Director, National Programs 
Chemical Division deems appropriate. The person to whom such waiver is 
issued must comply with all limitations contained in such determination.

Administrator and research and development using 500 pounds or more of 
PCB material (regardless of PCB concentration) will be reviewed by the 
approval authorities set out in Secs. 761.60(e) and 761.70 (a) and (b).



Sec. 761.61   PCB remediation waste.

    This section provides cleanup and disposal options for PCB 
remediation waste. Any person cleaning up and disposing of PCBs managed 
under this section shall do so based on the concentration at which the 
PCBs are found. This section does not prohibit any person from 
implementing temporary emergency measures to prevent, treat, or contain 
further releases or mitigate migration to the environment of PCBs or PCB 
remediation waste.
    (a) Self-implementing on-site cleanup and disposal of PCB 
remediation waste. EPA designed the self-implementing procedure for a 
general, moderately-sized site where there should be low residual 
environmental impact from remedial activities. The procedure may be less 
practical for larger or environmentally diverse sites. For these other 
sites, the self-implementing procedure still applies, but an EPA 
Regional Administrator may authorize more practical procedures through 
paragraph (c) of this section. Any person may conduct self-implementing 
cleanup and disposal of PCB remediation waste in accordance with the 
following requirements without prior written approval from EPA.
    (1) Applicability. (i) The self-implementing procedures may not be 
used to clean up:
    (A) Surface or ground waters.
    (B) Sediments in marine and freshwater ecosystems.
    (C) Sewers or sewage treatment systems.
    (D) Any private or public drinking water sources or distribution 
systems.
    (E) Grazing lands.
    (F) Vegetable gardens.
    (ii) The self-implementing cleanup provisions shall not be binding 
upon cleanups conducted under other authorities, including but not 
limited to, actions conducted under section 104 or section 106 of 
CERCLA, or section 3004(u) and (v) or section 3008(h) of RCRA.
    (2) Site characterization. Any person conducting self-implementing 
cleanup of PCB remediation waste must characterize the site adequately 
to be able to provide the information required by paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section. Subpart N of this part provides a method for collecting 
new site characterization data or for assessing the sufficiency of 
existing site characterization data.
    (3) Notification and certification. (i) At least 30 days prior to 
the date that the cleanup of a site begins, the person in charge of the 
cleanup or the owner of

[[Page 548]]

the property where the PCB remediation waste is located shall notify, in 
writing, the EPA Regional Administrator, the Director of the State or 
Tribal environmental protection agency, and the Director of the county 
or local environmental protection agency where the cleanup will be 
conducted. The notice shall include:
    (A) The nature of the contamination, including kinds of materials 
contaminated.
    (B) A summary of the procedures used to sample contaminated and 
adjacent areas and a table or cleanup site map showing PCB 
concentrations measured in all pre-cleanup characterization samples. The 
summary must include sample collection and analysis dates. The EPA 
Regional Administrator may require more detailed information including, 
but not limited to, additional characterization sampling or all sample 
identification numbers from all previous characterization activities at 
the cleanup site.
    (C) The location and extent of the identified contaminated area, 
including topographic maps with sample collection sites cross referenced 
to the sample identification numbers in the data summary from paragraph 
(a)(3)(i)(B) of this section.
    (D) A cleanup plan for the site, including schedule, disposal 
technology, and approach. This plan should contain options and 
contingencies to be used if unanticipated higher concentrations or wider 
distributions of PCB remediation waste are found or other obstacles 
force changes in the cleanup approach.
    (E) A written certification, signed by the owner of the property 
where the cleanup site is located and the party conducting the cleanup, 
that all sampling plans, sample collection procedures, sample 
preparation procedures, extraction procedures, and instrumental/chemical 
analysis procedures used to assess or characterize the PCB contamination 
at the cleanup site, are on file at the location designated in the 
certificate, and are available for EPA inspection. Persons using 
alternate methods for chemical extraction and chemical analysis for site 
characterization must include in the certificate a statement that such a 
method will be used and that a comparison study which meets or exceeds 
the requirements of subpart Q of this part, and for which records are on 
file, has been completed prior to verification sampling.
    (ii) Within 30 calendar days of receiving the notification, the EPA 
Regional Administrator will respond in writing approving of the self-
implementing cleanup, disapproving of the self-implementing cleanup, or 
requiring additional information. If the EPA Regional Administrator does 
not respond within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice, the person 
submitting the notification may assume that it is complete and proceed 
with the cleanup according to the information the person provided to the 
EPA Regional Administrator. Once cleanup is underway, the person 
conducting the cleanup must provide any proposed changes from the 
notification to the EPA Regional Administrator in writing no less than 
14 calendar days prior to the proposed implementation of the change. The 
EPA Regional Administrator will determine in his or her discretion 
whether to accept the change, and will respond to the change 
notification verbally within 7 calendar days and in writing within 14 
calendar days of receiving it. If the EPA Regional Administrator does 
not respond verbally within 7 calendar days and in writing within 14 
calendar days of receiving the change notice, the person who submitted 
it may deem it complete and acceptable and proceed with the cleanup 
according to the information in the change notice provided to the EPA 
Regional Administrator.
    (iii) Any person conducting a cleanup activity may obtain a waiver 
of the 30-day notification requirement, if they receive a separate 
waiver, in writing, from each of the agencies they are required to 
notify under this section. The person must retain the original written 
waiver as required in paragraph (a)(9) of this section.
    (4) Cleanup levels. For purposes of cleaning, decontaminating, or 
removing PCB remediation waste under this section, there are four 
general waste categories: bulk PCB remediation waste, non-porous 
surfaces, porous surfaces, and liquids. Cleanup levels are based on the 
kind of material and the

[[Page 549]]

potential exposure to PCBs left after cleanup is completed.
    (i) Bulk PCB remediation waste. Bulk PCB remediation waste includes, 
but is not limited to, the following non-liquid PCB remediation waste: 
soil, sediments, dredged materials, muds, PCB sewage sludge, and 
industrial sludge.
    (A) High occupancy areas. The cleanup level for bulk PCB remediation 
waste in high occupancy areas is 1 ppm without further 
conditions. High occupancy areas where bulk PCB remediation waste 
remains at concentrations >1 ppm and 10 ppm shall be covered 
with a cap meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a)(7) and (a)(8) of 
this section.
    (B) Low occupancy areas. (1) The cleanup level for bulk PCB 
remediation waste in low occupancy areas is 25 ppm unless 
otherwise specified in this paragraph.
    (2) Bulk PCB remediation wastes may remain at a cleanup site at 
concentrations >25 ppm and 50 ppm if the site is secured by a 
fence and marked with a sign including the ML mark.
    (3) Bulk PCB remediation wastes may remain at a cleanup site at 
concentrations >25 ppm and 100 ppm if the site is covered 
with a cap meeting the requirements of paragraphs (a)(7) and (a)(8) of 
this section.
    (ii) Non-porous surfaces. In high occupancy areas, the surface PCB 
cleanup standard is  10 g/100 cm2 of 
surface area. In low occupancy areas, the surface cleanup standard is 
100 g/100 cm2 of surface area. Select sampling 
locations in accordance with subpart P of this part or a sampling plan 
approved under paragraph (c) of this section.
    (iii) Porous surfaces. In both high and low occupancy areas, any 
person disposing of porous surfaces must do so based on the levels in 
paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section. Porous surfaces may be cleaned up 
for use in accordance with Sec. 761.79(b)(4) or Sec. 761.30(p).
    (iv) Liquids. In both high and low occupancy areas, cleanup levels 
are the concentrations specified in Sec. 761.79(b)(1) and (b)(2).
    (v) Change in the land use for a cleanup site. Where there is an 
actual or proposed change in use of an area cleaned up to the levels of 
a low occupancy area, and the exposure of people or animal life in or at 
that area could reasonably be expected to increase, resulting in a 
change in status from a low occupancy area to a high occupancy area, the 
owner of the area shall clean up the area in accordance with the high 
occupancy area cleanup levels in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) through (a)(4)(iv) 
of this section.
    (vi) The EPA Regional Administrator, as part of his or her response 
to a notification submitted in accordance with Sec. 761.61(a)(3) of this 
part, may require cleanup of the site, or portions of it, to more 
stringent cleanup levels than are otherwise required in this section, 
based on the proximity to areas such as residential dwellings, 
hospitals, schools, nursing homes, playgrounds, parks, day care centers, 
endangered species habitats, estuaries, wetlands, national parks, 
national wildlife refuges, commercial fisheries, and sport fisheries.
    (5) Site cleanup. In addition to the options set out in this 
paragraph, PCB disposal technologies approved under Secs. 761.60 and 
761.70 are acceptable for on-site self-implementing PCB remediation 
waste disposal within the confines of the operating conditions of the 
respective approvals.
    (i) Bulk PCB remediation waste. Any person cleaning up bulk PCB 
remediation waste shall do so to the levels in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of 
this section.
    (A) Any person cleaning up bulk PCB remediation waste on-site or 
using a soil washing process may do so without EPA approval, subject to 
all of the following:
    (1) A non-chlorinated solvent is used.
    (2) The process occurs at ambient temperature.
    (3) The process is not exothermic.
    (4) The process uses no external heat.
    (5) The process has secondary containment to prevent any solvent 
from being released to the underlying or surrounding soils or surface 
waters.
    (6) Solvent disposal, recovery, and/or reuse is in accordance with 
relevant provisions of approvals issued according to paragraphs (b)(1) 
or (c) of this section or applicable paragraphs of Sec. 761.79.
    (B) Bulk PCB remediation waste may be sent off-site for 
decontamination or

[[Page 550]]

disposal in accordance with this paragraph, provided the waste is either 
dewatered on-site or transported off-site in containers meeting the 
requirements of the DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) at 49 CFR 
parts 171 through 180.
    (1) Removed water shall be disposed of according to paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section.
    (2) Any person disposing off-site of dewatered bulk PCB remediation 
waste shall do so as follows:
    (i) Unless characterized for disposal according to subpart O, the 
bulk PCB remediation waste shall be assumed to contain 50 ppm 
PCBs.
    (ii) Bulk PCB remediation wastes with a PCB concentration of <50 ppm 
shall be disposed of in accordance with paragraph (a)(5)(v)(A) of this 
section.
    (iii) Bulk PCB remediation wastes with a PCB concentration 
50 ppm shall be disposed of in a hazardous waste landfill 
permitted by EPA under section 3004 of RCRA, or by a State authorized 
under section 3006 of RCRA, or a PCB disposal facility approved under 
this part.
    (iv) The generator must provide written notice, including the 
quantity to be shipped and highest concentration of PCBs (using 
extraction EPA Method 3500B/3540C or Method 3500B/3550B followed by 
chemical analysis using EPA Method 8082 in SW-846 or methods validated 
under subpart Q of this part) at least 15 days before the first shipment 
of bulk PCB remediation waste from each cleanup site by the generator, 
to each off-site facility where the waste is destined for an area not 
subject to a TSCA PCB Disposal Approval.
    (3) Any person may decontaminate bulk PCB remediation waste in 
accordance with Sec. 761.79 and return the waste to the cleanup site for 
disposal as long as the cleanup standards of paragraph (a)(4) of this 
section are met.
    (ii) Non-porous surfaces. PCB remediation waste non-porous surfaces 
shall be cleaned on-site or off-site for disposal on-site, disposal off-
site, or use, as follows:

subject

[[Page 551]]

to part 258 of this chapter or non-municipal non-hazardous waste subject 
to Secs. 257.5 through 257.30 of this chapter, as applicable, a RCRA 
Subtitle C landfill permitted by a State to accept PCB waste, or a PCB 
disposal facility approved under this part. Requirements in subpart K of 
this part do not apply to this waste. Decontaminate this same waste in 
accordance with Sec. 761.79(b) or (c).
    (B) Cleaning solvents, abrasives, and equipment may be reused after 
decontamination in accordance with Sec. 761.79.
    (6) Cleanup verification--(i) Sampling and analysis. Any person 
collecting and analyzing samples to verify the cleanup and on-site 
disposal of bulk PCB remediation wastes and porous surfaces must do so 
in accordance with subpart O of this part. Any person collecting and 
analyzing samples from non-porous surfaces must do so in accordance with 
subpart P of this part. Any person collecting and analyzing samples from 
liquids must do so in accordance with Sec. 761.269. Any person 
conducting interim sampling during PCB remediation waste cleanup to 
determine when to sample to verify that cleanup is complete, may use PCB 
field screening tests.
    (ii) Verification. (A) Where sample analysis results in a 
measurement of PCBs less than or equal to the levels specified in 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section, self-implementing cleanup is complete.
    (B) Where sample analysis results in a measurement of PCBs greater 
than the levels specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, self-
implementing cleanup of the sampled PCB remediation waste is not 
complete. The owner or operator of the site must either dispose of the 
sampled PCB remediation waste, or reclean the waste represented by the 
sample and reinitiate sampling and analysis in accordance with paragraph 
(a)(6)(i) of this section.
    (7) Cap requirements. A cap means, when referring to on-site cleanup 
and disposal of PCB remediation waste, a uniform placement of concrete, 
asphalt, or similar material of minimum thickness spread over the area 
where remediation waste was removed or left in place in order to prevent 
or minimize human exposure, infiltration of water, and erosion. Any 
person designing and constructing a cap must do so in accordance with 
Sec. 264.310(a) of this chapter, and ensure that it complies with the 
permeability, sieve, liquid limit, and plasticity index parameters in 
Sec. 761.75(b)(1)(ii) through (b)(1)(v). A cap of compacted soil shall 
have a minimum thickness of 25 cm (10 inches). A concrete or asphalt cap 
shall have a minimum thickness of 15 cm (6 inches). A cap must be of 
sufficient strength to maintain its effectiveness and integrity during 
the use of the cap surface which is exposed to the environment. A cap 
shall not be contaminated at a level 1 ppm PCB per 
AroclorTM (or equivalent) or per congener. Repairs shall 
begin within 72 hours of discovery for any breaches which would impair 
the integrity of the cap.
    (8) Deed restrictions for caps, fences and low occupancy areas. When 
a cleanup activity conducted under this section includes the use of a 
fence or a cap, the owner of the site must maintain the fence or cap, in 
perpetuity. In addition, whenever a cap, or the procedures and 
requirements for a low occupancy area, is used, the owner of the site 
must meet the following conditions:
    (i) Within 60 days of completion of a cleanup activity under this 
section, the owner of the property shall:
    (A) Record, in accordance with State law, a notation on the deed to 
the property, or on some other instrument which is normally examined 
during a title search, that will in perpetuity notify any potential 
purchaser of the property:
    (1) That the land has been used for PCB remediation waste disposal 
and is restricted to use as a low occupancy area as defined in 
Sec. 761.3.
    (2) Of the existence of the fence or cap and the requirement to 
maintain the fence or cap.
    (3) The applicable cleanup levels left at the site, inside the 
fence, and/or under the cap.
    (B) Submit a certification, signed by the owner, that he/she has 
recorded the notation specified in paragraph (a)(8)(i)(A) of this 
section to the EPA Regional Administrator.
    (ii) The owner of a site being cleaned up under this section may 
remove a

[[Page 552]]

fence or cap after conducting additional cleanup activities and 
achieving cleanup levels, specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, 
which do not require a cap or fence. The owner may remove the notice on 
the deed no earlier than 30 days after achieving the cleanup levels 
specified in this section which do not require a fence or cap.
    (9) Recordkeeping. For paragraphs (a)(3), (a)(4), and (a)(5) of this 
section, recordkeeping is required in accordance with 
Sec. 761.125(c)(5).
    (b) Performance-based disposal. (1) Any person disposing of liquid 
PCB remediation waste shall do so according to Sec. 761.60(a) or (e), or 
decontaminate it in accordance with Sec. 761.79.
    (2) Any person disposing of non-liquid PCB remediation waste shall 
do so by one of the following methods:
    (i) Dispose of it in a high temperature incinerator approved under 
Sec. 761.70(b), an alternate disposal method approved under 
Sec. 761.60(e), a chemical waste landfill approved under Sec. 761.75, or 
in a facility with a coordinated approval issued under Sec. 761.77.
    (ii) Decontaminate it in accordance with Sec. 761.79.
    (3) Any person may manage or dispose of material containing <50 ppm 
PCBs that has been dredged or excavated from waters of the United 
States:
    (i) In accordance with a permit that has been issued under section 
404 of the Clean Water Act, or the equivalent of such a permit as 
provided for in regulations of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 33 
CFR part 320.
    (ii) In accordance with a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers under section 103 of the Marine Protection, Research, and 
Sanctuaries Act, or the equivalent of such a permit as provided for in 
regulations of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 33 CFR part 320.
    (c) Risk-based disposal approval. (1) Any person wishing to sample, 
cleanup, or dispose of PCB remediation waste in a manner other than 
prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section, or store PCB 
remediation waste in a manner other than prescribed in Sec. 761.65, must 
apply in writing to the EPA Regional Administrator in the Region where 
the cleanup site is located. Each application must contain information 
described in the notification required by Sec. 761.61(a)(3). EPA may 
request other information that it believes necessary to evaluate the 
application. No person may conduct cleanup activities under this 
paragraph prior to obtaining written approval by EPA.
    (2) EPA will issue a written decision on each application for a 
risk-based method for PCB remediation wastes. EPA will approve such an 
application if it finds that the method will not pose an unreasonable 
risk of injury to health or the environment.

g/L PCBs.
    (ii) Any person disposing off-site of PCB bulk product waste 
regulated under paragraph (b)(2) of this section at a waste management 
facility not having a commercial PCB storage or disposal approval must 
provide written notice to the facility a minimum of 15 days in advance 
of the first shipment from the same disposal waste stream and with each 
shipment thereafter. The notice shall state that the PCB bulk product 
waste may include components containing PCBs at 50 ppm based 
on analysis of the waste in the shipment or application of a general 
knowledge of the waste stream (or similar material) which is known to 
contain PCBs at those levels, and that the PCB bulk product waste is 
known or presumed to leach 10 g/L PCBs.
    (5) Any person disposing of PCB bulk product waste must maintain a 
written record of all sampling and analysis of PCBs or notifications 
made under this paragraph for 3 years from the date of the waste's 
generation. The records must be made available to EPA upon request.
    (6) Requirements in subparts C and K of this part do not apply to 
waste disposed of under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (c) Risk-based cleanup approval. (1) Any person wishing to sample or 
dispose of PCB bulk product waste in a manner other than prescribed in 
paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section, or store PCB bulk product waste 
in a manner other than prescribed in Sec. 761.65, must apply in writing 
to: the EPA Regional Administrator in the Region where the disposal or 
storage site is located, for disposal or storage occurring in a single 
EPA Region; or the Director of the National Program Chemicals Division, 
for disposal or storage occurring in more than one EPA Region. Each 
application must contain information indicating that, based on 
technical, environmental, or waste-specific characteristics or 
considerations, the proposed storage or

[[Page 554]]

disposal methods or locations will not pose an unreasonable risk of 
injury to health or the environment. EPA may request other information 
that it believes necessary to evaluate the application. No person may 
conduct disposal or storage activities under this paragraph prior to 
obtaining written approval by EPA.
    (2) EPA will issue a written decision on each application for a 
risk-based storage or disposal method for PCB bulk product wastes. EPA 
will approve such an application if it finds that the method will not 
pose an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (d) Disposal as daily landfill cover or roadbed. Bulk product waste 
described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section may be disposed of:
    (1) As daily landfill cover as long as the daily cover remains in 
the landfill and is not released or dispersed by wind or other action; 
or
    (2) Under asphalt as part of a road bed.

Sec. 761.64   Disposal of wastes generated as a result of research and development activities authorized under Sec. 761.30(j) and chemical analysis of PCBs.

    This section provides disposal requirements for wastes generated 
during and as a result of research and development authorized under 
Sec. 761.30(j). This section also provides disposal requirements for 
wastes generated during the chemical analysis of samples containing PCBs 
under part 761, including Secs.  761.30, 761.60, 761.61, 761.62, and 
761.79. For determining the presence of PCBs in samples, chemical 
analysis includes: sample preparation, sample extraction, extract 
cleanup, extract concentration, addition of PCB standards, and 
instrumental analysis.
    (a) Portions of samples of a size designated in a chemical 
extraction and analysis method for PCBs and extracted for purposes of 
determining the presence of PCBs or concentration of PCBs are 
unregulated for PCB disposal under this part.
    (b) All other wastes generated during these activities are regulated 
for disposal based on their concentration at the time of disposal as 
follows:
    (1) Liquid wastes, including rinse solvents, must be disposed of 
according to Sec. 761.61(a)(5)(iv).
    (2) Non-liquid wastes must be disposed of in the same manner as non-
liquid cleaning materials and personal protective equipment waste 
according to Sec. 761.61(a)(5)(v)(A).

Sec. 761.65  Storage for disposal.

    This section applies to the storage for disposal of PCBs at 
concentrations of 50 ppm or greater and PCB Items with PCB 
concentrations of 50 ppm or greater.
    (a)(1) Storage limitations. Any PCB waste shall be disposed of as 
required by subpart D of this part within 1-year from the date it was 
determined to be PCB waste and the decision was made to dispose of it. 
This date is the date of removal from service for disposal and the point 
at which the 1-year time frame for disposal begins. PCB/radioactive 
waste removed from service for disposal is exempt from the 1-year time 
limit provided that the provisions at paragraphs (a)(2)(ii) and 
(a)(2)(iii) of this section are followed and the waste is managed in 
accordance with all other applicable Federal, State, and

[[Page 555]]

local laws and regulations for the management of radioactive material.
    (2) One-year extension. Any person storing PCB waste that is subject 
to the 1-year time limit for storage and disposal in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section may provide written notification to the EPA Regional 
Administrator for the Region in which the PCB waste is stored that their 
continuing attempts to dispose of or secure disposal for their waste 
within the 1-year time limit have been unsuccessful. Upon receipt of the 
notice by the EPA Regional Administrator, the time for disposal is 
automatically extended for 1 additional year (2 years total) if the 
following conditions are met:
    (i) The notification is received by the EPA Regional Administrator 
at least 30 days before the initial 1-year time limit expires and the 
notice identifies the storer, the types, volumes, and locations of the 
waste and the reasons for failure to meet the initial 1-year time limit.
    (ii) A written record documenting all continuing attempts to secure 
disposal is maintained until the waste is disposed of.
    (iii) The written record required by paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this 
section is available for inspection or submission if requested by EPA.
    (iv) Continuing attempts to secure disposal were initiated within 
270 days after the time the waste was first subject to the 1-year time 
limit requirement, as specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. 
Failure to initiate and continue attempts to secure disposal throughout 
the total time the waste is in storage shall automatically disqualify 
the notifier from receiving an automatic extension under this section.
    (3) Additional extensions. Upon written request, the EPA Regional 
Administrator for the Region in which the wastes are stored or the 
Director, National Program Chemicals Division, may grant additional 
extensions beyond the 1-year extension authorized in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section. At the time of the request, the requestor must supply 
specific justification for the additional extension and indicate what 
measures the requestor is taking to secure disposal of the waste or 
indicate why disposal could not be conducted during the period of the 
prior extension. The EPA Regional Administrator or the Director, 
National Program Chemicals Division may require, as a condition to 
granting any extension under this section, specific actions including, 
but not limited to, marking, inspection, recordkeeping, or financial 
assurance to ensure that the waste does not pose an unreasonable risk of 
injury to health or the environment.
    (4) Storage at an approved facility. Increased time for storage may 
be granted as a condition of any TSCA PCB storage or disposal approval, 
by the EPA Regional Administrator for the Region in which the PCBs or 
PCB Items are to be stored or disposed of, or by the Director, National 
Program Chemicals Division, if EPA determines that there is a 
demonstrated need or justification for additional time, that the owner 
or operator of the facility is pursuing relevant treatment or disposal 
options, and that no unreasonable risk of injury to health or the 
environment will result from the increased storage time. In making this 
determination, EPA will consider such factors as absence of any approved 
treatment technology and insufficient time to complete the treatment or 
destruction process. EPA may require as a condition of the approval that 
the owner or operator submit periodic progress reports.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2), (c)(1), (c)(7), (c)(9), 
and (c)(10) of this section, after July 1, 1978, owners or operators of 
any facilities used for the storage of PCBs and PCB Items designated for 
disposal shall comply with the following storage unit requirements:
    (1) The facilities shall meet the following criteria:
    (i) Adequate roof and walls to prevent rain water from reaching the 
stored PCBs and PCB Items;
    (ii) An adequate floor that has continuous curbing with a minimum 6 
inch high curb. The floor and curbing must provide a containment volume 
equal to at least two times the internal volume of the largest PCB 
Article or PCB Container or 25 percent of the total internal volume of 
all PCB Articles or PCB Containers stored there, whichever is

[[Page 556]]

greater. PCB/radioactive wastes are not required to be stored in an area 
with a minimum 6 inch high curbing. However, the floor and curbing must 
still provide a containment volume equal to at least two times the 
internal volume of the largest PCB Container or 25 percent of the total 
internal volume of all PCB Containers stored there, whichever is 
greater.
    (iii) No drain valves, floor drains, expansion joints, sewer lines, 
or other openings that would permit liquids to flow from the curbed 
area;
    (iv) Floors and curbing constructed of Portland cement, concrete, or 
a continuous, smooth, non-porous surface as defined at Sec. 761.3, which 
prevents or minimizes penetration of PCBs.
    (v) Not located at a site that is below the 100-year flood water 
elevation.
    (2) No person may store PCBs and PCB Items designated for disposal 
in a storage unit other than one approved pursuant to paragraph (d) of 
this section or meeting the design requirements of paragraph (b) of this 
section, unless the unit meets one of the following conditions:
    (i) Is permitted by EPA under section 3004 of RCRA to manage 
hazardous waste in containers, and spills of PCBs are cleaned up in 
accordance with subpart G of this part.
    (ii) Qualifies for interim status under section 3005 of RCRA to 
manage hazardous waste in containers, meets the requirements for 
containment at Sec. 264.175 of this chapter, and spills of PCBs are

to manage hazardous waste in containers, and spills of PCBs are cleaned 
up in accordance with subpart G of this part.
    (iv) Is approved or otherwise regulated pursuant to a State PCB 
waste management program no less stringent in protection of health or 
the environment than the applicable TSCA requirements found in this 
part.
    (v) Is subject to a TSCA Coordinated Approval, which includes 
provisions for storage of PCBs, issued pursuant to Sec. 761.77.
    (vi) Has a TSCA PCB waste management approval, which includes 
provisions for storage, issued pursuant to Sec. 761.61(c) or 
Sec. 761.62(c).
    (c)(1) The following PCB Items may be stored temporarily in an area 
that does not comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this 
section for up to thirty days from the date of their removal from 
service, provided that a notation is attached to the PCB Item or a PCB 
Container (containing the item) indicating the date the item was removed 
from service:
    (i) Non-leaking PCB Articles and PCB Equipment;
    (ii) Leaking PCB Articles and PCB Equipment if the PCB Items are 
placed in a non-leaking PCB Container that contains sufficient sorbent 
materials to absorb any liquid PCBs remaining in the PCB Items;
    (iii) PCB Containers containing non-liquid PCBs such as contaminated 
soil, rags, and debris; and
    (iv) PCB containers containing liquid PCBs at concentrations of 
50 ppm, provided a Spill Prevention, Control and 
Countermeasure Plan has been prepared for the temporary storage area in 
accordance with part 112 of this chapter and the liquid PCB waste is in 
packaging authorized in the DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations at 49 
CFR parts 171 through 180 or stationary bulk storage tanks (including 
rolling stock such as, but not limited to, tanker trucks, as specified 
by DOT).
    (2) Non-leaking and structurally undamaged PCB Large High Voltage 
Capacitors and PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment that have not been 
drained of free flowing dielectric fluid may be stored on pallets next 
to a storage facility that meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of 
this section. PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment that has been 
drained of free flowing dielectric fluid is not subject to the storage 
provisions of Sec. 761.65. Storage under this subparagraph will be 
permitted only when the storage facility has immediately available 
unfilled storage space equal to 10 percent of the volume of capacitors 
and equipment stored outside the facility. The capacitors and equipment 
temporarily stored outside the facility shall be checked for leaks 
weekly.

[[Page 557]]

    (3) Any storage area subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) or 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section shall be marked as required in subpart 
C Sec. 761.40(a)(10).
    (4) No item of movable equipment that is used for handling PCBs and 
PCB Items in the storage units and that comes in direct contact with 
PCBs shall be removed from the storage unit area unless it has been 
decontaminated as specified in Sec. 761.79.
    (5) All PCB Items in storage shall be checked for leaks at least 
once every 30 days. Any leaking PCB Items and their contents shall be 
transferred immediately to properly marked non-leaking containers. Any 
spilled or leaked materials shall be immediately cleaned up and the 
materials and residues containing PCBs shall be disposed of in 
accordance with Sec. 761.61. Records of inspections, maintenance, 
cleanup and disposal must be maintained in accordance with 
Sec. 761.180(a) and (b).
    (6) Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(6)(i) and (c)(6)(ii) of 
this section, any container used for the storage of liquid or non-liquid 
PCB waste shall be in accordance with the requirements set forth in the 
DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) at 49 CFR parts 171 through 
180. PCB waste not subject to the HMR (i.e., PCB wastes at 
concentrations of <20 ppm or <1 pound of PCBs regardless of 
concentration) must be packaged in accordance with Packaging Group III, 
unless other hazards associated with the PCB waste cause it to require 
packaging in accordance with Packaging Groups I or II. For purposes of 
describing PCB waste not subject to DOT's HMR on a manifest, one may use 
the term ``Non-DOT Regulated PCBs.''
    (i) Containers other than those meeting HMR performance standards 
may be used for storage of PCB/radioactive waste provided the following 
requirements are met:
    (A) Containers used for storage of liquid PCB/radioactive wastes 
must be non-leaking.
    (B) Containers used for storage of non-liquid PCB/ radioactive 
wastes must be designed to prevent the buildup of liquids if such 
containers are stored in an area meeting the containment requirements of 
paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, as well as all other applicable 
State or Federal regulations or requirements for control of radioactive 
materials.
    (C) Containers used to store both liquid and non-liquid PCB/
radioactive wastes must meet all regulations and requirements pertaining 
to nuclear criticality safety. Acceptable container materials currently 
include polyethylene and stainless steel provided that the container 
material is chemically compatible with the wastes being stored. Other 
containers may be used to store both liquid and non-liquid PCB/
radioactive wastes if the users are able to demonstrate, to the 
appropriate Regional Administrator and other appropriate regulatory 
authorities (i.e., Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy 
or the Department of Transportation), that the use of such containers is 
protective of health and the environment as well as public health and 
safety.
    (ii) The following DOT specification containers that conform to the 
requirements of 49 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C in effect on September 
30, 1991, may be used for storage and transportation activities that are 
not subject to DOT regulation, and may be used on a transitional basis 
as permitted at 49 CFR 171.14. For liquid PCBs: Specification 5 
container without removable head, Specification 5B container without 
removable head, Specification 6D overpack with Specification 2S or 2SL 
polyethylene containers, or Specification 17E container. For non-liquid 
PCBs: Specification 5 container, Specification 5B container, or 
Specification 17C container.
    (7) Stationary storage containers for liquid PCBs can be larger than 
the containers specified in paragraph (c)(6) of this section provided 
that:
    (i) The containers are designed, constructed, and operated in 
compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Standards, 29 CFR 
1910.106, Flammable and combustible liquids. Before using these 
containers for storing PCBs, the design of the containers must be 
reviewed to determine the effect on the structural safety of the 
containers that will result from placing liquids with the specific 
gravity of PCBs into the

[[Page 558]]

containers (see 29 CFR 1910.106(b)(1)(i)(f)).
    (ii) The owners or operators of any facility using containers 
described in paragraph (c)(7)(i) of this section, shall prepare and 
implement a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan as 
described in part 112 of this title. In complying with 40 CFR part 112, 
the owner or operator shall read ``oil(s)'' as ``PCB(s)'' whenever it 
appears. The exemptions for storage capacity, 40 CFR 112.1(d)(2), and 
the amendment of SPCC plans by the Regional Administrator, 40 CFR 112.4, 
shall not apply unless some fraction of the liquids stored in the 
container are oils as defined by section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
    (8) PCB Items shall be dated on the item when they are removed from 
service for disposal. The storage shall be managed so that the PCB Items 
can be located by this date. Storage containers provided in paragraph 
(c)(7) of this section, shall have a record that includes for each batch 
of PCBs the quantity of the batch and date the batch was added to the 
container. The record shall also include the date, quantity, and 
disposition of any batch of PCBs removed from the container.
    (9) Bulk PCB remediation waste or PCB bulk product waste may be 
stored at the clean-up site or site of generation for 180 days subject 
to the following conditions:
    (i) The waste is placed in a pile designed and operated to control 
dispersal of the waste by wind, where necessary, by means other than 
wetting.
    (ii) The waste must not generate leachate through decomposition or 
other reactions.
    (iii) The storage site must have:
    (A) A liner that is designed, constructed, and installed to prevent 
any migration of wastes off or through the liner into the adjacent 
subsurface soil, ground water or surface water at any time during the 
active life (including the closure period) of the storage site. The 
liner may be constructed of materials that may allow waste to migrate 
into the liner. The liner must be:
    (1) Constructed of materials that have appropriate chemical 
properties and sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure due 
to pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrogeologic 
forces), physical contact with the waste or leachate to which they are 
exposed, climatic conditions, the stress of installation, and the stress 
of daily operation.
    (2) Placed upon a foundation or base capable of providing support to 
the liner and resistance to pressure gradients above and below the liner 
to prevent failure of the liner due to settlement, compression, or 
uplift.
    (3) Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact 
with the waste.
    (B) A cover that meets the requirements of paragraph (c)(9)(iii)(A) 
of this section, is installed to cover all of the stored waste likely to 
be contacted with precipitation, and is secured so as not to be 
functionally disabled by winds expected under normal seasonal 
meteorological conditions at the storage site.
    (C) A run-on control system designed, constructed, operated, and 
maintained such that:
    (1) It prevents flow onto the stored waste during peak discharge 
from at least a 25-year storm.
    (2) It collects and controls at least the water volume resulting 
from a 24-hour, 25-year storm. Collection and holding facilities (e.g., 
tanks or basins) must be emptied or otherwise managed expeditiously 
after storms to maintain design capacity of the system.
    (iv) The provisions of this paragraph may be modified under 
Sec. 761.61(c).
    (10) Owners or operators of storage facilities shall establish and 
maintain records as provided in Sec. 761.180.
    (d) Approval of commercial storers of PCB waste. (1) All commercial 
storers of PCB waste shall have interim approval to operate commercial 
facilities for the storage of PCB waste until August 2, 1990. Commercial 
storers of PCB waste are prohibited from storing any PCB waste at their 
facilities after August 2, 1990 unless they have submitted by August 2, 
1990 a complete application for a final storage approval under paragraph 
(d)(2) of this section. The period of interim approval shall continue 
until the Regional Administrator (or

[[Page 559]]

the Director of the Chemical Management Division (Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division) in cases involving commercial storage 
ancillary to a facility approved for disposal by the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division) makes a final decision on the storage 
application at which time such interim approval shall terminate.
    (2) The Regional Administrator for the region in which the storage 
facility is located (or the Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division, if the commercial storage area is ancillary to a facility 
approved for disposal by the Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division) shall grant written, final approval to engage in the 
commercial storage of PCB waste upon a determination by the Regional 
Administrator or the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, that 
the criteria in paragraph (d)(2)(i) through (d)(2)(vii) of this section 
have been met by the applicant:
    (i) The applicant, its principals, and its key employees responsible 
for the establishment or operation of the commercial storage facility 
are qualified to engage in the business of commercial storage of PCB 
waste.
    (ii) The facility possesses the capacity to handle the quantity of 
PCB waste which the owner or operator of the facility has estimated will 
be the maximum quantity of PCB waste that will be handled at any one 
time at the facility.
    (iii) The owner or operator of the unit has certified compliance 
with the storage facility standards in paragraphs (b) and (c)(7) of this 
section.
    (iv) The owner or operator has developed a written closure plan for 
the facility that is deemed acceptable by the Regional Administrator (or 
the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, if the commercial 
storage is ancillary to a disposal facility permitted by the Director, 
National Programs Chemical Division) under the closure plan standards of 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (v) The owner or operator has included in the application for final 
approval a demonstration of financial responsibility for closure that 
meets the financial responsibility standards of paragraph (g) of this 
section.
    (vi) The operation of the storage facility will not pose an 
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    (vii) The environmental compliance history of the applicant, its 
principals, and its key employees may be deemed to constitute a 
sufficient basis for denial of approval whenever in the judgment of the 
Regional Administrator (or Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division) that history of environmental civil violations or criminal 
convictions evidences a pattern or practice of noncompliance that 
demonstrates the applicant's unwillingness or inability to achieve and 
maintain compliance with the regulations.
    (3) Applicants for storage approvals shall submit a written 
application that includes any relevant information bearing upon the 
qualifications of the facility's principals and key employees to engage 
in the business of commercial storage of PCB wastes. This information 
shall include, but is not limited to:

period of longer than 3 years after approval of the storage facility 
pursuant to this rule, will be acceptable to EPA if that pay-in period 
has already been established for a valid RCRA facility or previously 
approved TSCA facility.
    (7) Storage areas ancillary to TSCA-approved disposal facilities may 
be exempt from a separate facility approval provided all of the 
following conditions are met:
    (i) The current disposal approval contains an expiration date.
    (ii) The current disposal approval's closure and financial 
responsibility

[[Page 561]]

conditions specifically extend to storage areas ancillary to disposal.
    (iii) The current disposal approval's closure and financial 
responsibility conditions provide for annual adjustments for inflation, 
and for modification when changes in operation would affect closure 
costs.
    (iv) The current disposal approval contains conditions on closure 
and financial responsibility that are at least as stringent as those in 
paragraphs (e) and (g) of this section. However, the provision for a 3-
year closure trust pay-in period, as specified in paragraph (g)(1)(i) of 
this section, would be waived in a case in which an approved TSCA 
facility or RCRA facility that covers PCB storage has a longer pay-in 
period for the trust.
    (v) The current disposal approval satisfies the requirements of 
paragraph (d)(3)(i) through (d)(3)(v) of this section.
    (8) The approval of any existing TSCA-approved disposal facility 
ancillary to a commercial storage facility that is deficient in any of 
the conditions of paragraph (d)(7)(i) through (d)(7)(v) of this section 
shall be called in by the Regional Administrator or the Director, 
National Programs Chemical Division, if it was the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division who issued it. The approval shall be modified 
to meet the requirements of paragraph (d)(7) of this section within 180 
days of the effective date of this final rule, or a separate application 
for approval of the storage facility may be submitted to the Regional 
Administrator or the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, in 
the cases where the Director, National Programs Chemical Division issued 
the approval.
    (e) Closure. (1) A commercial storer of PCB waste shall have a 
written closure plan that identifies the steps that the owner or 
operator of the facility shall take to close the PCB waste storage 
facility in a manner that eliminates the potential for post-closure 
releases of PCBs which may present an unreasonable risk to human health 
or the environment. An acceptable closure plan must include, at a 
minimum, all of the following:
    (i) A description of how the PCB storage areas of the facility will 
be closed in a manner that eliminates the potential for post-closure 
releases of PCBs into the environment.
    (ii) An identification of the maximum extent of storage operations 
that will be open during the active life of the facility, including an 
identification of the extent of PCB storage operations at the facility 
relative to other wastes that will be handled at the facility.
    (iii) An estimate of the maximum inventory of PCB wastes that could 
be handled at one time at the facility over its active life, and a 
detailed description of the methods or arrangements to be used during 
closure for removing, transporting, storing, or disposing of the 
facility's inventory of PCB waste, including an identification of any 
off-site facilities that will be used.
    (iv) A detailed description of the steps needed to remove or 
decontaminate PCB waste residues and contaminated containment system 
components, equipment, structures, and soils during closure in 
accordance with the levels specified in the PCB Spills Cleanup Policy in 
subpart G of this part, including a description of the methods for 
sampling and testing of surrounding soils, and the criteria for 
determining the extent of removal or decontamination.
    (v) A detailed description of other activities necessary during the 
closure period to ensure that any post-closure releases of PCBs will not 
present unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. This 
includes activities such as ground-water monitoring, run-on and run-off 
control, and facility security.
    (vi) A schedule for closure of each area of the facility where PCB 
waste is stored or handled, including the total time required to close 
each area of PCB waste storage or handling, and the time required for 
any intervening closure activities.
    (vii) An estimate of the expected year of closure of the PCB waste 
storage areas, if a trust fund is opted for as the financial mechanism.
    (2) A written closure plan determined to be acceptable by the 
Regional Administrator (or the Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division, if the commercial storage area is ancillary to

[[Page 562]]

a disposal facility approved by the Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division) under this section shall become a condition of any approval 
granted under paragraph (d) of this section.
    (3) A separate and new closure plan need not be submitted in cases 
where a facility is currently covered by a TSCA approval or a RCRA 
permit, upon a showing to the satisfaction of the Regional Administrator 
(or the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, if the commercial 
storage area is ancillary to a disposal facility approved by the 
Director, National Programs Chemical Division) that the existing closure 
plan is substantially equivalent to closure plans required under 
paragraphs (d) through (g) of this section, and that the plan adequately 
accounts for PCB waste inventories.
    (4) The commercial storer of PCB waste shall submit a written 
request to the Regional Administrator (or the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division, if he approved the closure plan) for a 
modification to its storage approval to amend its closure plan, 
whenever:
    (i) Changes in ownership, operating plans, or facility design affect 
the existing closure plan.
    (ii) There is a change in the expected date of closure, if 
applicable.
    (iii) In conducting closure activities, unexpected events require a 
modification of the approved closure plan.
    (5) The Regional Administrator or the Director, National Programs 
Chemical Division, if he approved the closure plan, may modify the 
existing closure plan under the conditions described in paragraph (e)(4) 
of this section.
    (6) Commercial storers of PCB waste shall comply with the following 
closure schedule:
    (i) The commercial storer shall notify in writing the Regional 
Administrator or the Director, National Programs Chemical Division if he 
approved the closure plan, at least 60 days prior to the date on which 
final closure of its PCB storage facility is expected to begin.
    (ii) The date when a commercial storer of PCB waste ``expects to 
begin closure'' shall be no later than 30 days after the date on which 
the storage facility received its final quantities of PCB waste. For 
good cause shown, the Regional Administrator or the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division if he approved the closure plan, may extend 
the date for commencement of closure for an additional 30-day period.
    (iii) Within 90 days after receiving the final quantity of PCB waste 
for storage, a commercial storer of PCB waste shall remove all PCB waste 
in storage at the facility from the facility in accordance with the 
approved closure plan. For good cause shown, the Regional Administrator 
or the Director, National Programs Chemical Division if he approved the 
closure plan, may approve a reasonable extension to the period for 
removal of the PCB waste.
    (iv) A commercial storer of PCB waste shall complete closure 
activities in accordance with the approved closure plan and within 180 
days after receiving the final quantity of PCB waste for storage at the 
facility. For good cause shown, the Regional Administrator or Director, 
National Programs Chemical Division if he approved the closure plan, may 
approve a reasonable extension to the closure period.
    (7) During the closure period, all contaminated system component 
equipment, structures, and soils shall be disposed of in accordance with 
the disposal requirements of subpart D of this part, or, if applicable, 
decontaminated in accordance with the levels specified in the PCB Spills 
Cleanup Policy at subpart G of this part. When PCB waste is removed from 
the storage facility during closure, the owner or operator becomes a 
generator of PCB waste subject to the generator requirements of subpart 
J of this part.
    (8) Within 60 days of completion of closure of each facility for the 
storage of PCB waste, the commercial storer of PCB waste shall submit to 
the Regional Administrator (or Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division if he approved the closure plan), by registered mail, a 
certification that the PCB storage facility has been closed in 
accordance with the approved closure plan. The certification shall be 
signed by the owner or operator and by an

[[Page 563]]

independent registered professional engineer.
    (f) Closure cost estimate. (1) A commercial storer of PCB wastes 
shall have a detailed estimate, in current dollars, of the cost of 
closing the facility in accordance with its approved closure plan. The 
closure cost estimate shall be in writing, be certified by the person 
preparing it (using the certification defined in Sec. 761.3) and comply 
with all of the following criteria:
    (i) The closure cost estimate shall equal the cost of final closure 
at the point in the PCB storage facility's active life when the extent 
and manner of PCB storage operations would make closure the most 
expensive, as indicated by the facility's closure plan.
    (ii) The closure cost estimate shall be based on the costs to the 
owner or operator of hiring a third party to close the facility, and the 
third party shall not be either a corporate parent or subsidiary of the 
owner or operator, or member in joint ownership of the facility.
    (iii) The owner or operator shall include in the estimate the 
current market costs for off-site commercial disposal of the facility's 
maximum estimated inventory of PCB wastes, except that on-site disposal 
costs may be used if on-site disposal capacity will exist at the 
facility at all times over the life of the PCB storage facility.
    (iv) The closure cost estimate may not incorporate any salvage value 
that may be realized with the sale of wastes, facility structures or 
equipment, land, or other assets associated with the facility at the 
time of closure.
    (2) During the active life of the PCB storage facility, the 
commercial storer of PCB waste shall adjust annually for inflation the 
closure cost estimate within 60 days prior to the anniversary date of 
the establishment of the financial instruments used to demonstrate 
financial responsibility for closure, except that owners or operators 
who use the financial test or corporate guarantee shall adjust their 
closure cost estimates for inflation within 30 days after the close of 
the storer's fiscal year. The adjustment may be made by recalculating 
the maximum costs of closure in current dollars, or by using an 
inflation factor derived from the most recent Implicit Price Deflator 
for Gross National Product published by the U.S. Department of Commerce 
in its Survey of Current Business. The Implicit Price Deflator for Gross 
National Product is included in a monthly publication titled Economic 
Indicators, which is available from the Superintendent of Documents, 
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The inflation factor 
used in the latter method is the result of dividing the latest published 
annual Deflator by the Deflator for the previous year. The adjustment to 
the closure cost estimate is then made by multiplying the most recent 
closure cost estimate by the latest inflation factor.
    (3) Where the Regional Administrator (or the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division, if he approved the closure plan) approves a 
modification to the facility's closure plan, and that modification 
increases the cost of closure, the owner or operator shall revise the 
closure cost estimate no later than 30 days after the modification is 
approved. Any such revision shall also be adjusted for inflation in 
accordance with paragraph (f)(2) of this section.
    (4) The owner or operator of the facility shall keep at the facility 
during its operating life the most recent closure cost estimate, 
including any adjustments resulting from inflation or from modifications 
to the closure plan.
    (g) Financial assurance for closure. A commercial storer of PCB 
waste shall establish financial assurance for closure of each PCB 
storage facility that he owns or operates. In establishing financial 
assurance for closure, the commercial storer of PCB waste may choose 
from the following financial assurance mechanisms or any combination of 
mechanisms:
    (1) The ``closure trust fund,'' as specified in Sec. 264.143(a) of 
this chapter, except for paragraph (a)(3) of Sec. 264.143. For purposes 
of this paragraph, the following provisions also apply:
    (i) Payments into the trust fund shall be made annually by the owner 
or operator over the remaining operating life of the facility as 
estimated in the closure plan, or over 3 years, whichever period is 
shorter. This period of time is hereafter referred to as the ``pay-in 
period.'' For an existing facility, the first

[[Page 564]]

payment must be made within 30 calendar days after EPA has notified the 
facility of its conditional approval. Interim approval to operate is 
canceled and the application is denied if EPA does not receive 
verification that the payment was made in that 30-day period.
    (ii) For a new facility, the first payment into the closure trust 
fund shall be made before EPA grants final approval of the application 
and before the facility may accept the initial shipment of PCB waste for 
commercial storage. A receipt from the trustee shall be submitted by the 
owner or operator to the Regional Administrator (or the Director, 
National Programs Chemical Division, if the commercial storage area is 
ancillary to a disposal facility approved by the Director CMD) before 
this initial delivery of PCB waste. The first payment shall be at least 
equal to the current closure cost estimate, divided by the number of 
years in the pay-in period, except as provided in paragraph (g)(7) of 
this section for multiple mechanisms. Subsequent payments shall be made 
no later than 30 days after each anniversary date of the first payment. 
The amount of each subsequent payment shall be determined by subtracting 
the current value of the trust fund from the current closure cost 
estimate, and dividing this difference by the number of years remaining 
in the pay-in period.
    (iii) If an owner or operator of a facility existing on the 
effective date of this paragraph establishes a trust fund to meet the 
financial assurance requirements of this paragraph, and the value of the 
trust fund is less than the current closure cost estimate when a final 
approval is granted for the facility, the amount of the current closure 
cost estimate still to be paid into the trust fund shall be paid in over 
the pay-in period as defined in paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this section. 
Payments shall continue to be made no later than 30 days after each 
anniversary date of the first payment made into the trust fund. The 
amount of each payment shall be determined by subtracting the current 
value of the trust fund from the current closure cost estimate, and 
dividing this difference by the number of years remaining in the pay-in 
period.
    (iv) The submission of a trust agreement with the wording specified 
in Sec. 264.151(a)(1) of this chapter, including any reference to 
hazardous waste management facilities, shall be deemed to be in 
compliance with the requirement to submit a trust agreement under this 
subpart.
    (2) The ``surety bond guaranteeing payment into a closure trust 
fund,'' as specified in Sec. 264.143(b) of this chapter, including the 
use of the surety bond instrument specified at Sec. 264.151(b) of this 
chapter and the standby trust specified at Sec. 264.143(b)(3) of this 
chapter. The use of the surety bonds, surety bond instruments, and 
standby trust agreements specified in Sec. Sec. 264.143(b) and 
264.151(b) of this chapter shall be deemed to be in compliance with this 
subpart.
    (3)(i) The ``surety bond guaranteeing performance of closure,'' as 
specified at Sec. 264.143(c) of this chapter, except for paragraph 
(c)(5) of Sec. 264.143 of this chapter. The submission and use of the 
surety bond instrument specified at Sec. 264.151(c) of this chapter and 
the standby trust specified at Sec. 264.143(c)(3) of this chapter shall 
be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements under this subpart 
relating to the use of surety bonds and standby trust funds.
    (ii) For the purposes of this paragraph, and under the terms of the 
bond, the surety shall become liable on the bond obligation when the 
owner or operator fails to perform as guaranteed by the bond. Liability 
is established by a final administrative determination pursuant to 
section 16 of TSCA that the owner or operator has failed to perform 
final closure in accordance with the closure plan and other approval or 
regulatory requirements when required to do so.
    (4)(i) The ``closure letter of credit'' specified in Sec. 264.143(d) 
of this chapter, except for paragraph (d)(8). The submission and use of 
the irrevocable letter of credit instrument specified in Sec. 264.151(d) 
of this chapter and the standby trust specified in Sec. 264.143(d)(3) of 
this chapter shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements 
of this subpart relating to the use of letters of credit and standby 
trust funds.
    (ii) For the purposes of this paragraph, the Regional Administrator 
(or

[[Page 565]]

the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, if the commercial 
storage area is ancillary to a disposal facility approved by the 
Director, National Programs Chemical Division) may draw on the letter of 
credit following a final administrative determination pursuant to 
section 16 of TSCA that the owner or operator has failed to perform 
final closure in accordance with the closure plan and other approval or 
regulatory requirements when required to do so.
    (5) ``Closure insurance,'' as specified in Sec. 264.143(e) of this 
chapter, utilizing the certificate of insurance for closure specified at 
Sec. 264.151(e) of this chapter. The use of closure insurance as 
specified in Sec. 264.143(e) of this chapter and the submission and use 
of the certificate of insurance specified in Sec. 264.151(e) of this 
chapter shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of 
this subpart relating to the use of closure insurance.
    (6) The ``financial test and corporate guarantee for closure,'' as 
described in Sec. 264.143(f) of this chapter, including a letter signed 
by the owner's or operator's chief financial officer as specified at 
Sec. 264.151(f) of this chapter and, if applicable, the written 
corporate guarantee specified at Sec. 264.151(h) of this chapter. The 
use of the financial test and corporate guarantee specified in 
Sec. 264.143(f) of this chapter, the submission and use of the letter 
specified in Sec. 264.151(f) of this chapter, and the submission and use 
of the written corporate guarantee specified at Sec. 264.151(h) of this 
chapter shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of 
this subpart relating to the use of financial tests and corporate 
guarantees.
    (7) The corporate guarantee as specified in Sec. 264.143(f)(10) of 
this chapter.
    (8) The use of multiple financial mechanisms, as specified in 
Sec. 264.143(g) of this chapter is permitted.
    (9) A modification to a facility storing PCB waste that increases 
the maximum storage capacity indicated in the permit requires that a new 
financial assurance mechanism be established or an existing one be 
amended. When such a modification occurs, the Director of the Federal or 
State issuing authority must be notified in writing no later than 30 
days from the completion of the modification. The new or revised 
financial assurance mechanism must be established and activated no later 
than 30 days after the Director of the Federal or State issuing 
authority is notified of the completion of the modification, but prior 
to the use of the modified portion of the facility.
    (h) Release of owner or operator. Within 60 days after receiving 
certifications from the owner or operator and an independent registered 
professional engineer that final closure has been completed in 
accordance with the approved closure plan, the Regional Administrator or 
the Director, National Programs Chemical Division, if he approved the 
closure plan, will notify the owner or operator in writing that the 
owner or operator is no longer required by this section to maintain 
financial assurance for final closure of the facility, unless the 
Regional Administrator or the Director, National Programs Chemical 
Division, if he approved the closure plan, has reason to believe that 
final closure has not been completed in accordance with the approved 
closure plan. The Regional Administrator or the Director, National 
Programs Chemical Division, if he approved the closure plan, shall 
provide the owner or operator with a detailed written statement stating 
the reasons why he believed closure was not conducted in accordance with 
the approved closure plan.
    (i) Laboratories and samples. (1) A laboratory is conditionally 
exempt from the notification and approval requirements for a commercial 
storer under Sec. 761.65 (d) through (h) when it stores samples held for 
disposal in a facility that complies with the standards in Sec. 761.65 
(b)(1)(i) through (b)(1)(iv).
    (2) A laboratory sample is exempt from the manifesting requirements 
in Sec. 761.208 when:
    (i) The sample is being transported to a laboratory for the purpose 
of testing.
    (ii) The sample is being transported back to the sample collector 
after testing.
    (iii) The sample is being stored by the sample collector before 
transport to a laboratory for testing.
    (iv) The sample is being stored in a laboratory before testing.

[[Page 566]]

    (v) The sample is being stored in a laboratory after testing but 
before it is returned to the sample collector.
    (vi) The sample is being stored temporarily in the laboratory after 
testing for a specific purpose (for example, until conclusion of a court 
case or enforcement action where further testing of the sample may be 
necessary).
    (3) In order to qualify for the exemption in paragraph (i)(2)(i) and 
(i)(2)(ii) of this section, a sample collector shipping samples to a 
laboratory and a laboratory returning samples to a sample collector 
must:
    (i) Comply with applicable U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) 
or U.S. Postal Service (USPS) shipping requirements, found respectively 
in 49 CFR 173.345 and U.S. Postal Regulations 652.2 and 652.3.
    (ii) Assure that the following information accompanies the sample:
    (A) The sample collector's name, mailing address, and telephone 
number.
    (B) The laboratory's name, mailing address, and telephone number.

laboratory must either manifest the PCB waste to a disposer or 
commercial storer, as required under Sec. 761.208, retain a copy of each 
manifest, as required under Sec. 761.209, and follow up on exception 
reporting, as required under Sec. 761.215 (a) and (b), or return the 
sample to the sample collector who must then properly dispose of the 
sample. If the laboratory returns the sample to the sample collector, 
the laboratory must comply with the shipping requirements set forth in 
paragraph (i)(3)(i) through (i)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (j) Changes in ownership or operational control of a commercial 
storage facility. The date of transfer of interim status or final 
approval shall be the date the EPA Regional Administrator (or Director, 
National Program Chemicals Division) provides written approval of the 
transfer. EPA will provide a final written decision within 90 days of 
receipt of the complete new or amended application. The Agency will 
approve the transfer if the following conditions are met:
    (1) The transferee has established financial assurance for closure 
pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section using a mechanism effective as 
of the date of final approval so that there will be no lapse in 
financial assurance for the transferred facility.
    (2) The transferor or transferee has resolved any deficiencies 
(e.g., technical operations, closure plans, cost estimates, etc.) the 
Agency has identified in the transferor's application.

Sec. 761.75  Chemical waste landfills.

    This section applies to facilities used to dispose of PCBs in 
accordance with the part.
    (a) General. A chemical waste landfill used for the disposal of PCBs 
and PCB Items shall be approved by the Agency Regional Administrator 
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. The landfill shall meet all 
of the requirements specified in paragraph (b) of this section, unless a 
waiver from these requirements is obtained pursuant to paragraph (c)(4) 
of this section. In addition, the landfill shall meet any other 
requirements that may be prescribed pursuant to paragraph (c)(3) of this 
section.
    (b) Technical requirements. Requirements for chemical waste 
landfills used for the disposal of PCBs and PCB Items are as follows:
    (1) Soils. The landfill site shall be located in thick, relatively 
impermeable formations such as large-area clay pans. Where this is not 
possible, the soil shall have a high clay and silt content with the 
following parameters:
    (i) In-place soil thickness, 4 feet or compacted soil liner 
thickness, 3 feet;
    (ii) Permeability (cm/sec), equal to or less than 
1 x 10-7;

[[Page 575]]

    (iii) Percent soil passing No. 200 Sieve, >30;
    (iv) Liquid Limit, >30; and
    (v) Plasticity Index >15.
    (2) Synthetic membrane liners. Synthetic membrane liners shall be 
used when, in the judgment of the Regional Administrator, the hydrologic 
or geologic conditions at the landfill require such a liner in order to 
provide at least a permeability equivalent to the soils in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section. Whenever a synthetic liner is used at a landfill 
site, special precautions shall be taken to insure that its integrity is 
maintained and that it is chemically compatible with PCBs. Adequate soil 
underlining and soil cover shall be provided to prevent excessive stress 
on the liner and to prevent rupture of the liner. The liner must have a 
minimum thickness of 30 mils.
    (3) Hydrologic conditions. The bottom of the landfill shall be above 
the historical high groundwater table as provided below. Floodplains, 
shorelands, and groundwater recharge areas shall be avoided. There shall 
be no hydraulic connection between the site and standing or flowing 
surface water. The site shall have monitoring wells and leachate 
collection. The bottom of the landfill liner system or natural in-place 
soil barrier shall be at least fifty feet from the historical high water 
table.
    (4) Flood protection. (i) If the landfill site is below the 100-year 
floodwater elevation, the operator shall provide surface water diversion 
dikes around the perimeter of the landfill site with a minimum height 
equal to two feet above the 100-year floodwater elevation.
    (ii) If the landfill site is above the 100-year floodwater 
elevation, the operators shall provide diversion structures capable of 
diverting all of the surface water runoff from a 24-hour, 25-year storm.
    (5) Topography. The landfill site shall be located in an area of low 
to moderate relief to minimize erosion and to help prevent landslides or 
slumping.
    (6) Monitoring systems--(i) Water sampling. (A) For all sites 
receiving PCBs, the ground and surface water from the disposal site area 
shall be sampled prior to commencing operations under an approval 
provided in paragraph (c) of this section for use as baseline data.
    (B) Any surface watercourse designated by the Regional Administrator 
using the authority provided in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section 
shall be sampled at least monthly when the landfill is being used for 
disposal operations.
    (C) Any surface watercourse designated by the Regional Administrator 
using the authority provided in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section 
shall be sampled for a time period specified by the Regional 
Administrator on a frequency of no less than once every six months after 
final closure of the disposal area.
    (ii) Groundwater monitor wells. (A) If underlying earth materials 
are homogenous, impermeable, and uniformly sloping in one direction, 
only three sampling points shall be necessary. These three points shall 
be equally spaced on a line through the center of the disposal area and 
extending from the area of highest water table elevation to the area of 
the lowest water table elevation on the property.
    (B) All monitor wells shall be cased and the annular space between 
the monitor zone (zone of saturation) and the surface shall be 
completely backfilled with Portland cement or an equivalent material and 
plugged with Portland cement to effectively prevent percolation of 
surface water into the well bore. The well opening at the surface shall 
have a removable cap to provide access and to prevent entrance of 
rainfall or stormwater runoff. The well shall be pumped to remove the 
volume of liquid initially contained in the well before obtaining a 
sample for analysis. The discharge shall be treated to meet applicable 
State or Federal discharge standards or recycled to the chemical waste 
landfill.
    (iii) Water analysis. As a minimum, all samples shall be analyzed 
for the following parameters, and all data and records of the sampling 
and analysis shall be maintained as required in Sec. 761.180(d)(1). 
Sampling methods and analytical procedures for these parameters shall 
comply with those specified in 40 CFR part 136 as amended in 41 FR 52779 
on December 1, 1976.
    (A) PCBs.

[[Page 576]]

    (B) pH.
    (C) Specific conductance.
    (D) Chlorinated organics.
    (7) Leachate collection. A leachate collection monitoring system 
shall be installed above the chemical waste landfill. Leachate 
collection systems shall be monitored monthly for quantity and 
physicochemical characteristics of leachate produced. The leachate 
should be either treated to acceptable limits for discharge in 
accordance with a State or Federal permit or disposed of by another 
State or Federally approved method. Water analysis shall be conducted as 
provided in paragraph (b)(6)(iii) of this section. Acceptable leachate 
monitoring/collection systems shall be any of the following designs, 
unless a waiver is obtained pursuant to paragraph (c)(4) of this 
section.
    (i) Simple leachate collection. This system consists of a gravity 
flow drainfield installed above the waste disposal unit liner. This 
design is recommended for use when semi-solid or leachable solid wastes 
are placed in a lined pit excavated into a relatively thick, 
unsaturated, homogenous layer of low permeability soil.
    (ii) Compound leachate collection. This system consists of a gravity 
flow drainfield installed above the waste disposal unit liner and above 
a secondary installed liner. This design is recommended for use when 
semi-liquid or leachable solid wastes are placed in a lined pit 
excavated into relatively permeable soil.
    (iii) Suction lysimeters. This system consists of a network of 
porous ceramic cups connected by hoses/tubing to a vacuum pump. The 
porous ceramic cups or suction lysimeters are installed along the sides 
and under the bottom of the waste disposal unit liner. This type of 
system works best when installed in a relatively permeable unsaturated 
soil immediately adjacent to the bottom and/or sides of the disposal 
facility.
    (8) Chemical waste landfill operations. (i) PCBs and PCB Items shall 
be placed in a landfill in a manner that will prevent damage to 
containers or articles. Other wastes placed in the landfill that are not 
chemically compatible with PCBs and PCB Items including organic solvents 
shall be segregated from the PCBs throughout the waste handling and 
disposal process.
    (ii) An operation plan shall be developed and submitted to the 
Regional Administrator for approval as required in paragraph (c) of this 
section. This plan shall include detailed explanations of the procedures 
to be used for recordkeeping, surface water handling procedures, 
excavation and backfilling, waste segregation burial coordinates, 
vehicle and equipment movement, use of roadways, leachate collection 
systems, sampling and monitoring procedures, monitoring wells, 
environmental emergency contingency plans, and security measures to 
protect against vandalism and unauthorized waste placements. EPA 
guidelines entitled ``Thermal Processing and Land Disposal of Solid 
Waste'' (39 FR 29337, Aug. 14, 1974) are a useful reference in 
preparation of this plan. If the facility is to be used to dispose of 
liquid wastes containing between 50 ppm and 500 ppm PCB, the operations 
plan must include procedures to determine that liquid PCBs to be 
disposed of at the landfill do not exceed 500 ppm PCB and measures to 
prevent the migration of PCBs from the landfill. Bulk liquids not 
exceeding 500 ppm PCBs may be disposed of provided such waste is 
pretreated and/or stabilized (e.g., chemically fixed, evaporated, mixed 
with dry inert absorbant) to reduce its liquid content or increase its 
solid content so that a non-flowing consistency is achieved to eliminate 
the presence of free liquids prior to final disposal in a landfill. PCB 
Container of liquid PCBs with a concentration between 50 and 500 ppm PCB 
may be disposed of if each container is surrounded by an amount of inert 
sorbant material capable of absorbing all of the liquid contents of the 
container.
    (iii) Ignitable wastes shall not be disposed of in chemical waste 
landfills. Liquid ignitable wastes are wastes that have a flash point 
less than 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) as determined by the following 
method or an equivalent method: Flash point of liquids shall be 
determined by a Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester, using the protocol 
specified in ASTM D 93-90, or the

[[Page 577]]

Setaflash Closed Tester using the protocol specified in ASTM Standard D-
3278-89.
    (iv) Records shall be maintained for all PCB disposal operations and 
shall include information on the PCB concentration in liquid wastes and 
the three dimensional burial coordinates for PCBs and PCB Items. 
Additional records shall be developed and maintained as required in 
Sec. 761.180.
    (9) Supporting facilities. (i) A six foot woven mesh fence, wall, or 
similar device shall be placed around the site to prevent unauthorized 
persons and animals from entering.
    (ii) Roads shall be maintained to and within the site which are 
adequate to support the operation and maintenance of the site without 
causing safety or nuisance problems or hazardous conditions.
    (iii) The site shall be operated and maintained in a manner to 
prevent safety problems or hazardous conditions resulting from spilled 
liquids and windblown materials.
    (c) Approval of chemical waste landfills. Prior to the disposal of 
any PCBs and PCB Items in a chemical waste landfill, the owner or 
operator of the landfill shall receive written approval of the Agency 
Regional Administrator for the Region in which the landfill is located. 
The approval shall be obtained in the following manner:
    (1) Initial report. The owner or operator shall submit to the 
Regional Administrator an initial report which contains:
    (i) The location of the landfill;
    (ii) A detailed description of the landfill including general site 
plans and design drawings;
    (iii) An engineering report describing the manner is which the 
landfill complies with the requirements for chemical waste landfills 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section;
    (iv) Sampling and monitoring equipment and facilities available;
    (v) Expected waste volumes of PCBs;
    (vi) General description of waste materials other than PCBs that are 
expected to be disposed of in the landfill;
    (vii) Landfill operations plan as required in paragraph (b) of this 
section;
    (viii) Any local, State, or Federal permits or approvals; and
    (ix) Any schedules or plans for complying with the approval 
requirements of these regulations.
    (2) Other information. In addition to the information contained in 
the report described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the Regional 
Administrator may require the owner or operator to submit any other 
information that the Regional Administrator finds to be reasonably 
necessary to determine whether a chemical waste landfill should be 
approved. Such other information shall be restricted to the types of 
information required in paragraphs (c)(1) (i) through (ix) of this 
section.
    (3) Contents of approval. (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(4) 
of this section the Regional Administrator may not approve a chemical 
waste landfill for the disposal of PCBs and PCB Items, unless he finds 
that the landfill meets all of the requirements of paragraph (b) of this 
section.
    (ii) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this 
section, the Regional Administrator may include in an approval any other 
requirements or provisions that the Regional Administrator finds are 
necessary to ensure that operation of the chemical waste landfill does 
not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment 
from PCBs. Such provisions may include a fixed period of time for which 
the approval is valid.

The approval may also include a stipulation that the operator of the 
chemical waste landfill report to the Regional Administrator any 
instance when PCBs are detectable during monitoring activities conducted 
pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this section.
    (4) Waivers. An owner or operator of a chemical waste landfill may 
submit evidence to the Regional Administrator that operation of the 
landfill will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or 
the environment from PCBs when one or more of the requirements of 
paragraph (b) of this section are not met. On the basis of such evidence 
and any other available information, the Regional Administrator may in 
his discretion find that one or more of the requirements of paragraph 
(b) of this section is not necessary to protect against such a risk and 
may

[[Page 578]]

waive the requirements in any approval for that landfill. Any finding 
and waiver under this paragraph will be stated in writing and included 
as part of the approval.
    (5) Persons approved. Any approval will designate the persons who 
own and who are authorized to operate the chemical waste landfill, and 
will apply only to such persons, except as provided by paragraph (c)(7) 
of this section.
    (6) Final approval. Approval of a chemical waste landfill will be in 
writing and will be signed by the Regional Administrator. The approval 
will state all requirements applicable to the approved landfill.
    (7) Transfer of property. Any person who owns or operates an 
approved chemical waste landfill must notify EPA at least 30 days before 
transferring ownership in the property or transferring the right to 
conduct the chemical waste landfill operation. The transferor must also 
submit to EPA, at least 30 days before such transfer, a notarized 
affidavit signed by the transferee which states that the transferee will 
abide by the transferor's EPA chemical waste landfill approval. Within 
30 days of receiving such notification and affidavit, EPA will issue an 
amended approval substituting the transferee's name for the transferor's 
name, or EPA may require the transferee to apply for a new chemical 
waste landfill approval. In the latter case, the transferee must abide 
by the transferor's EPA approval until EPA issues the new approval to 
the transferee.

Sec. 761.79   Decontamination standards and procedures.

    (a) Applicability. This section establishes decontamination 
standards and procedures for removing PCBs, which are regulated for 
disposal, from water, organic liquids, non-porous surfaces (including 
scrap metal from disassembled electrical equipment), concrete, and non-
porous surfaces covered with a porous surface, such as paint or coating 
on metal.
    (1) Decontamination in accordance with this section does not require 
a disposal approval under subpart D of this part.
    (2) Materials from which PCBs have been removed by decontamination 
in accordance with this section may be distributed in commerce in 
accordance with Sec. 761.20(c)(5).
    (3) Materials from which PCBs have been removed by decontamination 
in accordance with this section may be used or reused in accordance with 
Sec. 761.30(u).
    (4) Materials from which PCBs have been removed by decontamination 
in accordance with this section, not including decontamination waste and 
residuals under paragraph (g) of this section, are unregulated for 
disposal under subpart D of this part.
    (5) Any person decontaminating porous surfaces other than concrete 
under paragraph (b)(4) of this section and non-porous surfaces covered 
with a porous surface, such as paint or coating on metal, under 
paragraph (b)(3) or (c)(8) of this section must obtain an alternative 
decontamination approval in accordance with paragraph (h) of this 
section.
    (6) Any person engaging in decontamination under this section is 
responsible for determining and complying with all other applicable 
Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.
    (b) Decontamination standards. Chopping (including wire chopping), 
distilling, filtering, oil/water separation, spraying, soaking, wiping, 
stripping of insulation, scraping, scarification or the use of abrasives 
or solvents may be used to remove or separate PCBs, to the following 
standards, from liquids, concrete, or non-porous surfaces.
    (1) The decontamination standard for water containing PCBs is:
    (i) Less than 200 g/L (i.e., 200 ppb PCBs) for non-contact 
use in a closed system where there are no releases;
    (ii) For water discharged to a treatment works (as defined in 
Sec. 503.9(aa) of this chapter) or to navigable waters, <3 g/L 
(approximately <3 ppb) or a PCB

[[Page 581]]

discharge limit included in a permit issued under section 307(b) or 402 
of the Clean Water Act; or
    (iii) Less than or equal to 0.5 g/L (i.e., approximately 
0.5 ppb PCBs) for unrestricted use.
    (2) The decontamination standard for organic liquids and non-aqueous 
inorganic liquids containing PCBs is <2 milligrams per kilogram (i.e., 2 
ppm PCBs).
    (3) The decontamination standard for non-porous surfaces in contact 
with liquid and non-liquid PCBs is:
    (i) For unrestricted use:
    (A) For non-porous surfaces previously in contact with liquid PCBs 
at any concentration, where no free-flowing liquids are currently 
present, 10 micrograms PCBs per 100 square centimeters 
(10 g/100 cm2) as measured by a standard 
wipe test (Sec. 761.123) at locations selected in accordance with 
subpart P of this part.
    (B) For non-porous surfaces in contact with non-liquid PCBs 
(including non-porous surfaces covered with a porous surface, such as 
paint or coating on metal), cleaning to Visual Standard No. 2, Near-
White Blast Cleaned Surface Finish, of the National Association of 
Corrosion Engineers (NACE). A person shall verify compliance with 
standard No. 2 by visually inspecting all cleaned areas.
    (ii) For disposal in a smelter operating in accordance with 
Sec. 761.72(b):
    (A) For non-porous surfaces previously in contact with liquid PCBs 
at any concentration, where no free-flowing liquids are currently

(including non-porous surfaces covered with a porous surface, such as 
paint or coating on metal), cleaning to Visual Standard No. 3, 
Commercial Blast Cleaned Surface Finish, of the National Association of 
Corrosion Engineers (NACE). A person shall verify compliance with 
standard No. 3 by visually inspecting all cleaned areas.
    (4) The decontamination standard for concrete is 10 
g/100 cm2 as measured by a standard wipe test 
(Sec. 761.123) if the decontamination procedure is commenced within 72 
hours of the initial spill of PCBs to the concrete or portion thereof 
being decontaminated.
    (c) Self-implementing decontamination procedures. The following 
self-implementing decontamination procedures are available as an 
alternative to the measurement-based decontamination methods specified 
in paragraph (b) of this section. Any person performing self-
implementing decontamination must comply with one of the following 
procedures.
    (1) Any person decontaminating a PCB Container must do so by 
flushing the internal surfaces of the container three times with a 
solvent containing <50 ppm PCBs. Each rinse shall use a volume of the 
flushing solvent equal to approximately 10 percent of the PCB Container 
capacity.
    (2) Any person decontaminating movable equipment contaminated by 
PCBs and used in storage areas, tools, and sampling equipment may do so 
by:
    (i) Swabbing surfaces that have contacted PCBs with a solvent;
    (ii) A double wash/rinse as defined in subpart S of this part; or
    (iii) Another applicable decontamination procedure in this section.
    (3) Any person decontaminating a non-porous surface in contact with

country), telephone number, and facsimile (FAX) number of the foreign 
generator, countries of transit (if any), port of entry in the United 
States, and method of transportation.
    (C) Types of PCBs and PCB Items to be imported (e.g., transformers, 
capacitors, oil, soil), PCB concentrations of each type of PCB or PCB 
Items, number and frequency of shipments, maximum shipment size, and 
maximum total quantity to be imported during the designated import 
period.
    (D) Projected dates of shipments, and period of time intended for 
import activities addressed by the notice (not to exceed 12 months).
    (E) Name, contact name, address, telephone number, facsimile (FAX)

storage and disposal facility where the PCB waste will be stored and 
disposed of.
    (F) Written certification from each TSCA-approved commercial storage 
or disposal facility identified in paragraph (b)(1)(iii)(E) of this 
section, including the importer, indicating that each facility has 
agreed to accept the shipments of PCBs or PCB Items; has approval to 
store or dispose of PCB waste under subpart D of this part; has 
sufficient storage capacity available for imported PCB waste; and until 
March 18, 1999, will not exceed the 70% capacity limit imposed on 
imported PCB waste under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this paragraph.
    (G) Written certification from the importer, stating: ``I certify 
that I am a TSCA-approved commercial storer (disposer) of PCB waste, and 
that I accept complete financial liability for the transportation,

indicating that the information in the notice is complete and accurate.
    (iv) Some of the information required to be submitted in a PCB waste 
import notice may also be required to be submitted to EPA pursuant to 
certain international agreements. With the exception of information 
required by paragraphs (b)(1)(iii) (F), (G), and (H) of this section, 
importers may elect to include information in the PCB waste import 
notice using the same form submitted under the international agreement 
provided the form contains the information required by paragraphs 
(b)(1)(iii) (A)-(E) of this section. Under all circumstances, the 
specific certifications required by paragraphs (b)(1)(iii) (F), (G), and 
(H) of this section must be included in each PCB waste import notice.
    (v) Notwithstanding the submission of a PCB waste import notice 
pursuant to this subpart, EPA reserves the right to refuse entry into 
the United States of individual shipments of PCBs or PCB Items that do 
not comply with applicable Federal laws and regulations. EPA also 
reserves the right to bring an enforcement action against an importer 
whose past import of PCBs or PCB Items does not comply with applicable 
Federal laws or regulations.
    (vi) Submission of a PCB waste import notice under paragraph 
(b)(1)(i) of this section

[[Page 589]]

does not replace or satisfy other import notice or consent requirements 
of applicable international agreements or arrangements, of the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), of other Federal statutes, or of 
TSCA section 13 (see 40 CFR 707.20).
    (vii) Confidential business information. (A) EPA believes that the 
information requested in PCB waste import notices generally will not be 
entitled to be treated as confidential business information (CBI) 
pursuant to section 14 of TSCA. However, a person submitting a PCB waste 
import notice may claim as CBI information the person believes to be 
entitled to confidential treatment under TSCA section 14 and part 2 of 
this chapter. If no claim is made at the time the notice is submitted, 
the information in the notice shall be available to the public without 
further notice to the submitter. If CBI claims are made, such claims 
shall be made by marking the specific information in the notice that is 
claimed CBI. In addition each claim should be accompanied, at the time 
the claim is made, by a written justification substantiating each item 
of the claim pursuant to 40 CFR 2.204(e). In accordance with the 
procedures set forth in TSCA and part 2 of this chapter, EPA will 
routinely request such substantiation from the importer if it does not 
accompany the claim of confidentiality.
    (B) Any claim of confidentiality shall accompany the PCB waste 
import notice at the time it is submitted to EPA. The importer shall 
submit two copies of each PCB waste import notice if a claim of 
confidentiality is made.
    (1) One copy of the notice shall contain all information required in 
paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section. In this copy of the notice, the 
submitter must clearly highlight or mark the specific items claimed as 
confidential on each page, and identify each item with the label ``TSCA 
Confidential Business Information.'' This notice shall be double 
wrapped, and the inside envelope marked ``PCB Waste Import Notice--CBI 
Claimed.'' The outside envelope shall be addressed to: TSCA Document 
Processing Center (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 
20460. Substantiation of CBI claims should be sealed inside the inner 
envelope and submitted with this copy.
    (2) The other copy shall contain all information required in 
paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section, except that all information 
claimed as confidential in the first copy must be deleted. This copy 
must be sent to the address indicated in (b)(1)(i) of this section.
    (3) If the importer claims any information in the PCB waste import 
notice as CBI, the PCB waste import notice is not considered complete 
for purposes of this paragraph until both copies and the written 
substantiation are received by EPA.
    (2) Storage and disposal. Imports of PCBs and PCB Items under 
paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section are subject to the following 
conditions, in addition to all other applicable provisions of this part.
    (i) No facility that stores or disposes of imported PCB waste shall 
store at any time a combined quantity of imported PCB waste from all 
sources in excess of 70% of the facility's approved maximum PCB storage 
capacity, pursuant to Sec. 761.65(d)(4)(iii). This limit on the 
acceptance of imported PCB waste shall expire on March 18, 1999.
    (ii) All PCBs and PCB Items imported for disposal under paragraph 
(a)(1)(iii) of this section are PCB wastes subject to 40 CFR part 761, 
subpart D and:

approval under subpart D of this part to store or dispose of the type of 
PCB waste being imported.
    (B) Shall be marked in accordance with subpart C of this part, and 
packaged and stored in accordance with subpart D of this part.
    (C) For purposes of compliance with the 1 year storage for disposal 
limit under Sec. 761.65(a), the date of removal from service for 
disposal for imported PCB waste shall be whichever of the following 
dates occurs first:
    (1) The date the PCB waste enters the contiguous 48 States.
    (2) The date the PCB waste enters any State, if the PCB waste will 
be disposed of in that State.
    (3) The date the PCB waste enters a State outside the contiguous 48 
States, if the PCB waste is stored in that State for a period of more 
than 10 consecutive days.
    (3) Recordkeeping and manifesting. (i) Importers, storers, and 
disposers of imported PCBs and PCB Items under paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of 
this section shall meet the requirements of subpart J of this part, with 
the following modifications:
    (A) An importer who is not the initial commercial storer or disposer 
of the imported PCB waste is considered to be the generator for purposes 
of maintaining annual records under Sec. 761.180(a); the annual document 
log maintained under Sec. 761.180(a)(2) must clearly distinguish between 
imported and domestically generated waste.
    (B) Disposers and commercial storers of PCB waste must clearly 
distinguish between imported and domestically generated waste in the 
annual document log maintained under Sec. 761.180(b)(2), and in the 
annual report submitted to EPA under Sec. 761.180(b)(3).
    (ii) Importers, storers, and disposers of PCBs and PCB Items under

K of this part which apply to the generator.
    (F) The date of removal from service for disposal shall be 
determined according to paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(C) of this section.
    (c) PCB analytical samples. PCBs and PCB Items at concentrations of 
50 ppm or greater may be imported into the United States by a 
laboratory, commercial storer or disposer of PCB waste under paragraph 
(a)(1)(iv) of this section, without prior notification, for purposes of 
chemical analysis to determine the physical and chemical properties of 
the PCBs and PCB Items, provided:
    (1) Quantities of PCBs and PCB Items imported by an individual 
facility shall not exceed 200 kilograms annually for non-liquids, and 25 
liters annually for liquids; individual samples cannot exceed 5 
kilograms for non-liquids or 25 milliliters for liquids.

                   Subpart G--PCB Spill Cleanup Policy

    Source: 52 FR 10705, Apr. 2, 1987, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 761.120  Scope.

    (a) General. This policy establishes criteria EPA will use to 
determine the adequacy of the cleanup of spills resulting from the 
release of materials containing PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or 
greater. The policy applies to spills which occur after May 4, 1987.
    (1) Existing spills (spills which occurred prior to May 4, 1987, are 
excluded from the scope of this policy for two reasons:
    (i) For old spills which have already been discovered, this policy 
is not intended to require additional cleanup where a party has already 
cleaned a spill in accordance with requirements imposed by EPA through 
its regional offices, nor is this policy intended to interfere with 
ongoing litigation of enforcement actions which bring into issue PCB 
spills cleanup.
    (ii) EPA recognizes that old spills which are discovered after the 
effective date of this policy will require site-by-site evaluation 
because of the likelihood that the site involves more pervasive PCB 
contamination than fresh spills and because old spills are generally 
more difficult to clean up than fresh spills (particularly on porous 
surfaces such as concrete). Therefore, spills which occurred before the 
effective date of this policy are to be decontaminated to requirements 
established at the discretion of EPA, usually through its regional 
offices.
    (2) EPA expects most PCB spills subject to the TSCA PCB regulations 
to conform to the typical spill situations considered in developing this 
policy. This policy does, however, exclude from application of the final 
numerical cleanup standards certain spill situations from its scope: 
Spills directly into surface waters, drinking water, sewers, grazing 
lands, and vegetable gardens. These types of spills are subject to final 
cleanup standards to be established at the discretion of the regional 
office. These spills are, however, subject to the immediate notification 
requirements and measures to minimize further environmental 
contamination.
    (3) For all other spills, EPA generally expects the decontamination 
standards of this policy to apply. Occasionally, some small percentage 
of spills covered by this policy may warrant more stringent cleanup 
requirements because of additional routes of exposure or significantly 
greater exposures than those assumed in developing the final cleanup 
standards of this policy. While the EPA regional offices have the 
authority to require additional cleanup in these circumstances, the 
Regional Administrator must first make a finding based on the specific 
facts of a spill that additional cleanup must occur to prevent 
unreasonable risk. In addition, before a final decision is made to 
require additional cleanup, the Regional Administrator must notify the 
Director, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics at Headquarters of 
his/her finding and the basis for the finding.
    (4) There may also be exceptional spill situations that requires 
less stringent cleanup or a different approach to cleanup because of 
factors associated with the particular spill. These factors may mitigate 
expected exposures and risks or make cleanup to these requirements 
impracticable.
    (b) Spills that may require more stringent cleanup levels. For 
spills within the scope of this policy, EPA generally retains, under 
Sec. 761.135, the authority to require additional cleanup upon finding 
that, despite good faith efforts by the responsible party, the numerical 
decontamination levels in the policy have not been met. In addition, EPA 
foresees the possibility of exceptional spill situations in which site-
specific risk factors may warrant additional cleanup to more stringent 
numerical decontamination levels than are required by the policy. In 
these situations, the Regional Administrator has the authority to 
require cleanup to levels lower than those included in this

[[Page 592]]

policy upon finding that further cleanup must occur to prevent 
unreasonable risk. The Regional Administrator will consult with the 
Director, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, prior to making 
such a finding.
    (1) For example, site-specific characteristics, such as short depth 
to ground water, type of soil, or the presence of a shallow well, may 
pose exceptionally high potential for ground water contamination by PCBs 
remaining after cleanup to the standards specified in this policy. 
Spills that pose such a high degree of potential for ground water 
contamination have not been excluded from the policy under paragraph (d) 
of this section because the presence of such potential may not be 
readily apparent. EPA feels that automatically excluding such spills 
from the scope of the policy could result in the delay of cleanup--a 
particularly undesirable outcome if potential ground water contamination 
is, in fact, a significant concern.
    (2) In those situations, the Regional Administrator may require 
cleanup in addition to that required under Sec. 761.125 (b) and (c). 
However, the Regional Administrator must first make a finding, based on 
the specific facts of a spill, that additional cleanup is necessary to 
prevent unreasonable risk. In addition, before making a final decision 
on additional cleanup, the Regional Administrator must notify the 
Director of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics of his finding 
and the basis for the finding.
    (c) Flexibility to allow less stringent or alternative requirements. 
EPA retains the flexibility to allow less stringent or alternative 
decontamination measures based upon site-specific considerations. EPA 
will exercise this flexibility if the responsible party demonstrates 
that cleanup to the numerical decontamination levels is clearly 
unwarranted because of risk-mitigating factors, that compliance with the 
procedural requirements or numerical standards in the policy is 
impracticable at a particular site, or that site-specific 
characteristics make the costs of cleanup prohibitive. The Regional 
Administrator will notify the Director of OPPT of any decision and the 
basis for the decision to allow less stringent cleanup. The purpose of 
this notification is to enable the Director of OPPT to ensure 
consistency of spill cleanup standards under special circumstances 
across the regions.
    (d) Excluded spills. (1) Although the spill situations in paragraphs 
(d)(2) (i) through (vi) of this section are excluded from the automatic 
application of final decontamination standards under Sec. 761.125 (b) 
and (c), the general requirements under Sec. 761.125(a) do apply to 
these spills. In addition, all of these excluded situations require 
practicable, immediate actions to contain the area of contamination. 
While these situations may not always require more stringent cleanup 
measures, the Agency is excluding these scenarios because they will 
always involve significant factors that may not be adequately addressed 
by cleanup standards based upon typical spill characteristics.
    (2) For the spill situations in paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through (vi) of 
this section, the responsible party shall decontaminate the spill in 
accordance with site-specific requirements established by the EPA 
regional offices.
    (i) Spills that result in the direct contamination of surface waters 
(surface waters include, but are not limited to, ``waters of the United 
States'' as defined in part 122 of this chapter, ponds, lagoons, 
wetlands, and storage reservoirs).
    (ii) Spills that result in the direct contamination of sewers or 
sewage treatment systems.
    (iii) Spills that result in the direct contamination of any private 
or public drinking water sources or distribution systems.
    (iv) Spills which migrate to and contaminate surface waters, sewers, 
or drinking water supplies before cleanup has been completed in 
accordance with this policy.
    (v) Spills that contaminate animal grazing lands.
    (vi) Spills that contaminate vegetable gradens.
    (e) Relationship of policy to other statutes. (1) This policy does 
not affect cleanup standards or requirements for the reporting of spills 
imposed, or to be imposed, under other Federal statutory authorities, 
including but not limited

[[Page 593]]

to, the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA), and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation 
and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). Where more than one 
requirement applies, the stricter standard must be met.
    (2) The Agency recognizes that the existence of this policy will 
inevitably result in attempts to apply the standards to situations 
within the scope of other statutory authorities. However, other statutes 
require the Agency to consider different or alternative factors in 
determining appropriate corrective actions. In addition, the types and 
magnitudes of exposures associated with sites requiring corrective 
action under other statutes often involve important differences from 
those expected of the typical, electrical equipment-type spills 
considered in developing this policy. Thus, cleanups under other 
statutes, such as RCRA corrective actions or remedial and response 
actions under SARA may result in different outcomes.



Sec. 761.123  Definitions.

    For purposes of this policy, certain words and phrases are used to 
denote specific materials, procedures, or circumstances. The following 
definitions are provided for purposes of clarity and are not to be taken 
as exhaustive lists of situations and materials covered by the policy.
    Double wash/rinse means a minimum requirement to cleanse solid 
surfaces (both impervious and nonimpervious) two times with an 
appropriate solvent or other material in which PCBs are at least 5 
percent soluble (by weight). A volume of PCB-free fluid sufficient to 
cover the contaminated surface completely must be used in each wash/
rinse. The wash/rinse requirement does not mean the mere spreading of 
solvent or other fluid over the surface, nor does the requirement mean a 
once-over wipe with a soaked cloth. Precautions must be taken to contain 
any runoff resulting from the cleansing and to dispose properly of 
wastes generated during the cleansing.
    High-concentration PCBs means PCBs that contain 500 ppm or greater 
PCBs, or those materials which EPA requires to be assumed to contain 500 
ppm or greater PCBs in the absence of testing.
    High-contact industrial surface means a surface in an industrial 
setting which is repeatedly touched, often for relatively long periods 
of time. Manned machinery and control panels are examples of high-
contact industrial surfaces. High-contact industrial surfaces are 
generally of impervious solid material. Examples of low-contact 
industrial surfaces include ceilings, walls, floors, roofs, roadways and 
sidewalks in the industrial area, utility poles, unmanned machinery, 
concrete pads beneath electrical equipment, curbing, exterior structural 
building components, indoor vaults, and pipes.
    High-contact residential/commercial surface means a surface in a 
residential/commercial area which is repeatedly touched, often for 
relatively long periods of time. Doors, wall areas below 6 feet in 
height, uncovered flooring, windowsills, fencing, bannisters, stairs, 
automobiles, and children's play areas such as outdoor patios and 
sidewalks are examples of high-contact residential/commercial surfaces. 
Examples of low-contact residential/commercial surfaces include interior 
ceilings, interior wall areas above 6 feet in height, roofs, asphalt 
roadways, concrete roadways, wooden utility poles, unmanned machinery, 
concrete pads beneath electrical equipment, curbing, exterior structural 
building components (e.g., aluminum/vinyl siding, cinder block, asphalt 
tiles), and pipes.
    Impervious solid surfaces means solid surfaces which are nonporous 
and thus unlikely to absorb spilled PCBs within the short period of time 
required for cleanup of spills under this policy. Impervious solid 
surfaces include, but are not limited to, metals, glass, aluminum 
siding, and enameled or laminated surfaces.
    Low-concentration PCBs means PCBs that are tested and found to 
contain less than 500 ppm PCBs, or those PCB-containing materials which 
EPA requires to be assumed to be at concentrations below 500 ppm (i.e., 
untested mineral oil dielectric fluid).

[[Page 594]]

    Nonimpervious solid surfaces means solid surfaces which are porous 
and are more likely to absorb spilled PCBs prior to completion of the 
cleanup requirements prescribed in this policy. Nonimpervious solid 
surfaces include, but are not limited to, wood, concrete, asphalt, and 
plasterboard.
    Nonrestricted access areas means any area other than restricted 
access, outdoor electrical substations, and other restricted access 
locations, as defined in this section. In addition to residential/
commercial areas, these areas include unrestricted access rural areas 
(areas of low density development and population where access is 
uncontrolled by either man-made barriers or naturally occurring 
barriers, such as rough terrain, mountains, or cliffs).
    Other restricted access (nonsubstation) locations means areas other 
than electrical substations that are at least 0.1 kilometer (km) from a 
residential/commercial area and limited by man-made barriers (e.g., 
fences and walls) to substantially limited by naturally occurring 
barriers such as mountains, cliffs, or rough terrain. These areas 
generally include industrial facilities and extremely remote rural 
locations. (Areas where access is restricted but are less than 0.1 km 
from a residential/commercial area are considered to be residential/
commercial areas.)
    Outdoor electrical substations means outdoor, fenced-off, and 
restricted access areas used in the transmission and/or distribution of 
electrical power Outdoor electrical substations restrict public access 
by being fenced or walled off as defined under Sec. 761.30(l)(1)(ii). 
For purposes of this TSCA policy, outdoor electrical substations are 
defined as being located at least 0.1 km from a residential/commercial 
area. Outdoor fenced-off and restricted access areas used in the 
transmission and/or distribution of electrical power which are located 
less than 0.1. km from a residential/commercial area are considered to 
be residential/commercial areas.
    PCBs means polychlorinated biphenyls as defined under Sec. 761.3. As 
specified under Sec. 761.1(b), no requirements may be avoided through 
dilution of the PCB concentration.
    Requirements and standards means:
    (1) ``Requirements'' as used in this policy refers to both the 
procedural responses and numerical decontamination levels set forth in 
this policy as constituting adequate cleanup of PCBs.
    (2) ``Standards'' refers to the numerical decontamination levels set 
forth in this policy.
    Residential/commercial areas means those areas where people live or 
reside, or where people work in other than manufacturing or farming 
industries. Residential areas include housing and the property on which 
housing is located, as well as playgrounds, roadways, sidewalks, parks, 
and other similar areas within a residential community. Commercial areas 
are typically accessible to both members of the general public and 
employees and include public assembly properties, institutional 
properties, stores, office buildings, and transportation centers.
    Responsible party means the owner of the PCB equipment, facility, or 
other source of PCBs or his/her designated agent (e.g., a facility 
manager or foreman).
    Soil means all vegetation, soils and other ground media, including 
but not limited to, sand, grass, gravel, and oyster shells. It does not 
include concrete and asphalt.
    Spill means both intentional and unintentional spills, leaks, and 
other uncontrolled discharges where the release results in any quantity 
of PCBs running off or about to run off the external surface of the 
equipment or other PCB source, as well as the contamination resulting 
from those releases. This policy applies to spills of 50 ppm or greater 
PCBs. The concentration of PCBs spilled is determined by the PCB 
concentration in the material spilled as opposed to the concentration of 
PCBs in the material onto which the PCBs were spilled. Where a spill of 
untested mineral oil occurs, the oil is presumed to contain greater than 
50 ppm, but less than 500 ppm PCBs and is subject to the relevant 
requirements of this policy.
    Spill area means the area of soil on which visible traces of the 
spill can be observed plus a buffer zone of 1 foot beyond the visible 
traces. Any surface or object (e.g., concrete sidewalk or automobile) 
within the visible traces area

[[Page 595]]

or on which visible traces of the spilled material are observed is 
included in the spill area. This area represents the minimum area 
assumed to be contaminated by PCBs in the absence of precleanup sampling 
data and is thus the minimum area which must be cleaned.
    Spill boundaries means the actual area of contamination as 
determined by postcleanup verification sampling or by precleanup 
sampling to determine actual spill boundaries. EPA can require 
additional cleanup when necessary to decontaminate all areas within the 
spill boundaries to the levels required in this policy (e.g., additional 
cleanup will be required if postcleanup sampling indicates that the area 
decontaminated by the responsible party, such as the spill area as 
defined in this section, did not encompass the actual boundaries of PCB 
contamination).
    Standard wipe test means, for spills of high-concentration PCBs on 
solid surfaces, a cleanup to numerical surface standards and sampling by 
a standard wipe test to verify that the numerical standards have been 
met. This definition constitutes the minimum requirements for an 
appropriate wipe testing protocol. A standard-size template (10 
centimeters (cm) x 10 cm) will be used to delineate the area of cleanup; 
the wiping medium will be a gauze pad or glass wool of known size which 
has been saturated with hexane. It is important that the wipe be 
performed very quickly after the hexane is exposed to air. EPA strongly 
recommends that the gauze (or glass wool) be prepared with hexane in the 
laboratory and that the wiping medium be stored in sealed glass vials 
until it is used for the wipe test. Further, EPA requires the collection 
and testing of field blanks and replicates.

Sec. 761.125  Requirements for PCB spill cleanup.

    (a) General. Unless expressly limited, the reporting, disposal, and 
precleanup sampling requirements in paragraphs (a) (1) through (3) of 
this section apply to all spills of PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or 
greater which are subject to decontamination requirements under TSCA, 
including those spills listed under Sec. 761.120(b) which are excluded 
from the cleanup standards at paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
    (1) Reporting requirements. The reporting in paragraphs (a)(1) (i) 
through (iv) of this section is required in addition to applicable 
reporting requirements under the Clean Water Act (CWA) or the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 
1980 (CERCLA). For example, under the National Contingency Plan all 
spills involving 1 pound or more by weight of PCBs must currently be 
reported to the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802). The 
requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) (i) through (iv) of this section are 
designed to be consistent with existing reporting requirements to the 
extent possible so as to minimize reporting burdens on governments as 
well as the regulated community.
    (i) Where a spill directly contaminates surface water, sewers, or 
drinking water supplies, as discussed under Sec. 761.120(d), the 
responsible party shall notify the appropriate EPA regional office (the 
Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances Branch) and obtain 
guidance for appropriate cleanup measures in the shortest possible time 
after discovery, but in no case later than 24 hours after discovery.
    (ii) Where a spill directly contaminates grazing lands or vegetable 
gardens, as discussed under Sec. 761.120(d), the responsible party shall 
notify the appropriate EPA regional office (the Office of Prevention, 
Pesticides and Toxic Substances Branch) and proceed with the immediate 
requirements specified under paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, 
depending on the source of the spill, in the shortest possible time 
after discovery, but in no case later than 24 hours after discovery.
    (iii) Where a spill exceeds 10 pounds of PCBs by weight and is not 
addressed in paragraph (a)(1) (i) or (ii) of this section, the 
responsible party will notify the appropriate EPA regional office 
(Pesticides and Toxic Substances Branch) and proceed to decontaminate 
the spill area in accordance with this TSCA policy in the shortest 
possible time after discovery, but in no case later than 24 hours after 
discovery.

[[Page 596]]

    (iv) Spills of 10 pounds or less, which are not addressed in 
paragraph (a)(1) (i) or (ii) of this section, must be cleaned up in 
accordance with this policy (in order to avoid EPA enforcement 
liability), but notification of EPA is not required.
    (2) Disposal of cleanup debris and materials. All concentrated 
soils, solvents, rags, and other materials resulting from the cleanup of 
PCBs under this policy shall be properly stored, labeled, and disposed 
of in accordance with the provisions of subpart D of this part.
    (3) Determination of spill boundaries in the absence of visible 
traces. For spills where there are insufficient visible traces yet there 
is evidence of a leak or spill, the boundaries of the spill are to be 
determined by using a statistically based sampling scheme.
    (b) Requirements for cleanup of low-concentration spills which 
involve less than 1 pound of PCBs by weight (less than 270 gallons of 
untested mineral oil)--(1) Decontamination requirements. Spills of less 
than 270 gallons of untested mineral oil, low-concentration PCBs, as 
defined under Sec. 761.123, which involve less than 1 pound of PCBs by 
weight (e.g., less than 270 gallons of untested mineral oil containing 
less than 500 ppm PCBs) shall be cleaned in the following manner:
    (i) Solid surfaces must be double washed/rinsed (as defined under 
Sec. 761.123); except that all indoor, residential surfaces other than 
vault areas must be cleaned to 10 micrograms per 100 square centimeters 
(10  g/100 cm2) by standard commercial wipe tests.
    (ii) All soil within the spill area (i.e., visible traces of soil 
and a buffer of 1 lateral foot around the visible traces) must be 
excavated, and the ground be restored to its original configuration by 
back-filling with clean soil (i.e., containing less than 1 ppm PCBs).
    (iii) Requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) (i) and (ii) of this section 
must be completed within 48 hours after the responsible party was 
notified or became aware of the spill.
    (2) Effect of emergency or adverse weather. Completion of cleanup 
may be delayed beyond 48 hours in case of circumstances including but 
not limited to, civil emergency, adverse weather conditions, lack of 
access to the site, and emergency operating conditions. The occurrence 
of a spill on a weekend or overtime costs are not acceptable reasons to 
delay response. Completion of cleanup may be delayed only for the 
duration of the adverse conditions. If the adverse weather conditions, 
or time lapse due to other emergency, has left insufficient visible 
traces, the responsible party must use a statistically based sampling 
scheme to determine the spill boundaries as required under paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section.
    (3) Records and certification. At the completion of cleanup, the 
responsible party shall document the cleanup with records and 
certification of decontamination. The records and certification must be 
maintained for a period of 5 years. The records and certification shall 
consist of the following:
    (i) Identification of the source of the spill (e.g., type of 
equipment).
    (ii) Estimated or actual date and time of the spill occurrence.
    (iii) The date and time cleanup was completed or terminated (if 
cleanup was delayed by emergency or adverse weather: the nature and 
duration of the delay).
    (iv) A brief description of the spill location.
    (v) Precleanup sampling data used to establish the spill boundaries 
if required because of insufficient visible traces, and a brief 
description of the sampling methodology used to establish the spill 
boundaries.
    (vi) A brief description of the solid surfaces cleaned and of the 
double wash/rinse method used.
    (vii) Approximate depth of soil excavation and the amount of soil 
removed.
    (viii) A certification statement signed by the responsible party 
stating that the cleanup requirements have been met and that the 
information contained in the record is true to the best of his/her 
knowledge.
    (ix) While not required for compliance with this policy, the 
following information would be useful if maintained in the records:
    (A) Additional pre- or post-cleanup sampling.
    (B) The estimated cost of the cleanup by man-hours, dollars, or 
both.

[[Page 597]]

    (c) Requirements for cleanup of high-concentration spills and low-
concentration spills involving 1 pound or more PCBs by weight (270 
gallons or more of untested mineral oil). Cleanup of low-concentration 
spills involving 1 lb or more PCBs by weight and of all spills of 
materials other than low-concentration materials shall be considered 
complete if all of the immediate requirements, cleanup standards, 
sampling, and recordkeeping requirements of paragraphs (c) (1) through 
(5) of this section are met.
    (1) Immediate requirements. The four actions in paragraphs (c)(1) 
(i) through (iv) of this section must be taken as quickly as possible 
and within no more than 24 hours (or within 48 hours for PCB 
Transformers) after the responsible party was notified or became aware 
of the spill, except that actions described in paragraphs (c)(1) (ii) 
through (iv) of this section can be delayed beyond 24 hours if 
circumstances (e.g., civil emergency, hurricane, tornado, or other 
similar adverse weather conditions, lack of access due to physical 
impossibility, or emergency operating conditions) so require for the 
duration of the adverse conditions. The occurrence of a spill on a 
weekend or overtime costs are not acceptable reasons to delay response. 
Owners of spilled PCBs who have delayed cleanup because of these types 
of circumstances must keep records documenting the fact that 
circumstances precluded rapid response.
    (i) The responsible party shall notify the EPA regional office and 
the NRC as required by Sec. 761.125(a)(1) or by other applicable 
statutes.
    (ii) The responsible party shall effectively cordon off or otherwise 
delineate and restrict an area encompassing any visible traces plus a 3-
foot buffer and place clearly visible signs advising persons to avoid 
the area to minimize the spread of contamination as well as the 
potential for human exposure.
    (iii) The responsible party shall record and document the area of 
visible contamination, noting the extent of the visible trace areas and 
the center of the visible trace area. If there are no visible traces, 
the responsible party shall record this fact and contact the regional 
office of the EPA for guidance in completing statistical sampling of the 
spill area to establish spill boundaries.
    (iv) The responsible party shall initiate cleanup of all visible 
traces of the fluid on hard surfaces and initiate removal of all visible 
traces of the spill on soil and other media, such as gravel, sand, 
oyster shells, etc.
    (v) If there has been a delay in reaching the site and there are 
insufficient visible traces of PCBs remaining at the spill site, the 
responsible party must estimate (based on the amount of material missing 
from the equipment or container) the area of the spill and immediately 
cordon off the area of suspect contamination. The responsible party must 
then utilize a statistically based sampling scheme to identify the 
boundaries of the spill area as soon as practicable.
    (vi) Although this policy requires certain immediate actions, as 
described in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section, EPA is 
not placing a time limit on completion of the cleanup effort since the 
time required for completion will vary from case to case. However, EPA 
expects that decontamination will be achieved promptly in all cases and 
will consider promptness of completion in determining whether the 
responsible party made good faith efforts to clean up in accordance with 
this policy.
    (2) Requirements for decontaminating spills in outdoor electrical 
substations. Spills which occur in outdoor electrical substations, as 
defined under Sec. 761.123, shall be decontaminated in accordance with 
paragraphs (c)(2) (i) and (ii) of this section. Conformance to the 
cleanup standards under paragraphs (c)(2) (i) and (ii) of this section 
shall be verified by post-cleanup sampling as specified under 
Sec. 761.130. At such times as outdoor electrical substations are 
converted to another use, the spill site shall be cleaned up to the 
nonrestricted access requirements under paragraph (c)(4) of this 
section.
    (i) Contaminated solid surfaces (both impervious and non-impervious) 
shall be cleaned to a PCB concentration of 100 micrograms ( g)/
100 square centimeters (cm\2\) (as measured by standard wipe tests).

[[Page 598]]

    (ii) At the option of the responsible party, soil contaminated by 
the spill will be cleaned either to 25 ppm PCBs by weight, or to 50 ppm 
PCBs by weight provided that a label or notice is visibly placed in the 
area. Upon demonstration by the responsible party that cleanup to 25 ppm 
or 50 ppm will jeopardize the integrity of the electrical equipment at 
the substation, the EPA regional office may establish an alternative 
cleanup method or level and place the responsible party on a reasonably 
timely schedule for completion of cleanup.
    (3) Requirements for decontaminating spills in other restricted 
access areas. Spills which occur in restricted access locations other 
than outdoor electrical substations, as defined under Sec. 761.123, 
shall be decontaminated in accordance with paragraphs (c)(3) (i) through 
(v) of this section. Conformance to the cleanup standards in paragraphs 
(c)(3) (i) through (v) of this section shall be verified by postcleanup 
sampling as specified under Sec. 761.130. At such times as restricted 
access areas other than outdoor electrical substations are converted to 
another use, the spill site shall be cleaned up to the nonrestricted 
access area requirements of paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
    (i) High-contact solid surfaces, as defined under Sec. 761.163 shall 
be cleaned to 10  g/100 cm\2\ (as measured by standard wipe 
tests).
    (ii) Low-contact, indoor, impervious solid surfaces will be 
decontaminated to 10  g/100 cm\2\.
    (iii) At the option of the responsible party, low-contact, indoor, 
nonimpervious surfaces will be cleaned either to 10  g/100 
cm\2\ or to 100  g/100 cm\2\ and encapsulated. The Regional 
Administrator, however, retains the authority to disallow the 
encapsulation option for a particular spill situation upon finding that 
the uncertainties associated with that option pose special concerns at 
that site. That is, the Regional Administrator would not permit 
encapsulation if he/she determined that if the encapsulation failed the 
failure would create an imminent hazard at the site.
    (iv) Low-contact, outdoor surfaces (both impervious and 
nonimpervious) shall be cleaned to 100 g/100 cm\2\.
    (v) Soil contaminated by the spill will be cleaned to 25 ppm PCBs by 
weight.
    (4) Requirements for decontaminating spills in nonrestricted access 
areas. Spills which occur in nonrestricted access locations, as defined 
under Sec. 761.123, shall be decontaminated in accordance with 
paragraphs (c)(4) (i) through (v) of this section. Conformance to the 
cleanup standards at paragraphs (c)(4) (i) through (v) of this section 
shall be verified by postcleanup sampling as specified under 
Sec. 761.130.
    (i) Furnishings, toys, and other easily replaceable household items 
shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of subpart D of 
this part and replaced by the responsible party.
    (ii) Indoor solid surfaces and high-contact outdoor solid surfaces, 
defined as high contact residential/commercial surfaces under 
Sec. 761.123, shall be cleaned to 10  g/100 cm\2\ (as measured 
by standard wipe tests).
    (iii) Indoor vault areas and low-contact, outdoor, impervious solid 
surfaces shall be decontaminated to 10  g/100 cm\2\.
    (iv) At the option of the responsible party, low-contact, outdoor, 
nonimpervious solid surfaces shall be either cleaned to 10  g/
100 cm\2\ or cleaned to 100  g/100 cm\2\ and encapsulated. The 
Regional Administrator, however, retains the authority to disallow the 
encapsulation option for a particular spill situation upon finding that 
the uncertainties associated with that option pose special concerns at 
that site. That is, the Regional Administrator would not permit 
encapsulation if he/she determined that if the encapsulation failed the 
failure would create an imminent hazard at the site.
    (v) Soil contaminated by the spill will be decontaminated to 10 ppm 
PCBs by weight provided that soil is excavated to a minimum depth of 10 
inches. The excavated soil will be replaced with clean soil, i.e., 
containing less than 1 ppm PCBs, and the spill site will be restored 
(e.g., replacement of turf).
    (5) Records. The responsible party shall document the cleanup with 
records of decontamination. The records must be maintained for a period 
of 5 years. The records and certification shall consist of the 
following:

[[Page 599]]

    (i) Identification of the source of the spill, e.g., type of 
equipment.
    (ii) Estimated or actual date and time of the spill occurrence.
    (iii) The date and time cleanup was completed or terminated (if 
cleanup was delayed by emergency or adverse weather: the nature and 
duration of the delay).
    (iv) A brief description of the spill location and the nature of the 
materials contaminated. This information should include whether the 
spill occurred in an outdoor electrical substation, other restricted 
access location, or in a nonrestricted access area.
    (v) Precleanup sampling data used to establish the spill boundaries 
if required because of insufficient visible traces and a brief 
description of the sampling methodology used to establish the spill 
boundaries.
    (vi) A brief description of the solid surfaces cleaned.
    (vii) Approximate depth of soil excavation and the amount of soil 
removed.
    (viii) Postcleanup verification sampling data and, if not otherwise 
apparent from the documentation, a brief description of the sampling 
methodology and analytical technique used.
    (ix) While not required for compliance with this policy, information 
on the estimated cost of cleanup (by man-hours, dollars, or both) would 
be useful if maintained in the records.

    (a) * * *
    (1) * * * For example, under the National Contingency Plan all 
spills involving 10 pounds or more by weight of PCBs must currently be 
reported to the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802). * * *

                                * * * * *



Sec. 761.130  Sampling requirements.

    Postcleanup sampling is required to verify the level of cleanup 
under Sec. 761.125(c) (2) through (4). The responsible party may use any 
statistically valid, reproducible, sampling scheme (either random 
samples or grid samples) provided that the requirements of paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of this section are satisfied.
    (a) The sampling area is the greater of (1) an area equal to the 
area cleaned plus an additional 1-foot boundary, or (2) an area 20 
percent larger than the original area of contamination.
    (b) The sampling scheme must ensure 95 percent confidence against 
false positives.
    (c) The number of samples must be sufficient to ensure that areas of 
contamination of a radius of 2 feet or more within the sampling area 
will be detected, except that the minimum number of samples is 3 and the 
maximum number of samples is 40.
    (d) The sampling scheme must include calculation for expected 
variability due to analytical error.
    (e) EPA recommends the use of a sampling scheme developed by the 
Midwest Research Institute (MRI) for use in EPA enforcement inspections: 
``Verification of PCB Spill Cleanup by Sampling and Analysis.'' Guidance 
for the use of this sampling scheme is available in the MRI report 
``Field Manual for Grid Sampling of PCB Spill Sites to Verify Cleanup.'' 
Both the MRI sampling scheme and the guidance document are available 
from the Director, Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Room E-543B, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC, 20460, Telephone: (202) 
554-1404, TDD: (202) 544-0551. The major advantage of this sampling 
scheme is that it is designed to characterize the degree of 
contamination within the entire sampling area with a high degree of 
confidence while using fewer samples than any other grid or random 
sampling scheme. This sampling scheme also allows some sites to be 
characterized on the basis of composite samples.
    (f) EPA may, at its discretion, take samples from any spill site. If 
EPA's sampling indicates that the remaining

[[Page 600]]

concentration level exceeds the required level, EPA will require further 
cleanup. For this purpose, the numerical level of cleanup required for 
spills cleaned in accordance with Sec. 761.125(b) is deemed to be the 
equivalent of numerical cleanup requirements required for cleanups under 
Sec. 761.125(c) (2) through (4). Using its best engineering judgment, 
EPA may sample a statistically valid random or grid sampling technique, 
or both. When using engineering judgment or random ``grab'' samples, EPA 
will take into account that there are limits on the power of a grab 
sample to dispute statistically based sampling of the type required of 
the responsible party. EPA headquarters will provide guidance to the EPA 
regions on the degree of certainty associated with various grab sample 
results.
[52 FR 10705, Apr. 2, 1987, as amended at 60 FR 34465, July 3, 1995]



Sec. 761.135  Effect of compliance with this policy and enforcement.

    (a) Although a spill of material containing 50 ppm or greater PCBs 
is considered improper PCB disposal, this policy establishes 
requirements that EPA considers to be adequate cleanup of the spilled 
PCBs. Cleanup in accordance with this policy means compliance with the 
procedural as well as the numerical requirements of this policy. 
Compliance with this policy creates a presumption against both 
enforcement action for penalties and the need for further cleanup under 
TSCA. The Agency reserves the right, however, to initiate appropriate 
action to compel cleanup where, upon review of the records of cleanup or 
EPA sampling following cleanup, EPA finds that the decontamination 
levels in the policy have not been achieved. The Agency also reserves 
the right to seek penalties where the Agency believes that the 
responsible party has not made a good faith effort to comply with all 
provisions of this policy, such as prompt notification of EPA of a 
spill, recordkeeping, etc.
    (b) EPA's exercise of enforcement discretion does not preclude 
enforcement action under other provisions of TSCA or any other Federal 
statute. This includes, even in cases where the numerical 
decontamination levels set forth in this policy have been met, civil or 
criminal action for penalties where EPA believes the spill to have been 
the result of gross negligence or knowing violation.

                 Subpart J--General Records and Reports



Sec. 761.180  Records and monitoring.

    This section contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that 
apply to PCBs, PCB Items, and PCB storage and disposal facilities that 
are subject to the requirements of the part.
    (a) PCBs and PCB Items in service or projected for disposal. 
Beginning February 5, 1990, each owner or operator of a facility, other 
than a commercial storer or a disposer of PCB waste, using or storing at 
any one time at least 45 kilograms (99.4 pounds) of PCBs contained in 
PCB Container(s), or one or more PCB Transformers, or 50 or more PCB 
Large High or Low Voltage Capacitors shall develop and maintain at the 
facility, or a central facility provided they are maintained at that 
facility, all annual records and the written annual document log of the 
disposition of PCBs and PCB Items. The written annual document log must 
be prepared for each facility by July 1 covering the previous calendar 
year (January through December). The annual document log shall be 
maintained for at least 3 years after the facility ceases using or 
storing PCBs and PCB Items in the quantities prescribed in this 
paragraph. Annual records (manifests and certificates of disposal) shall 
be maintained for the same period. The annual records and the annual 
document log shall be available for inspection at the facility where 
they are maintained by authorized representatives of EPA during normal 
business hours, and each owner or operator of a facility subject to 
these requirements shall know the location of these records. All records 
and annual documents required to be prepared and maintained by this 
section prior to February 5, 1990 shall continue to be maintained at the 
facility for the same

    (3) [Reserved]
    (4) For purposes of this paragraph, PCB Voltage Regulators shall be 
recorded as PCB Transformers.
    (b) Disposers and commercial storers of PCB waste. Beginning 
February 5, 1990, each owner or operator of a facility (including high 
efficiency boiler operations) used for the commercial storage or 
disposal of PCBs and PCB Items shall maintain annual records on the 
disposition of all PCBs and PCB items at the facility and prepare and 
maintain a written annual document log that includes the information 
required by paragraphs (b)(2) of this section for PCBs and PCB Items 
that were handled as PCB waste at the facility. The written annual 
document log shall be prepared by July 1 for the previous calendar year 
(January through December). The written annual document log shall be 
maintained at each facility for at least 3 years after the facility is

Sec. 761.207  The manifest--general requirements.

    (a) A generator who relinquishes control over PCB wastes by 
transporting, or offering for transport by his own vehicle or by a 
vehicle owned by another person, PCB waste for commercial off-site 
storage or off-site disposal shall prepare a manifest on EPA Form 8700-
22, and if necessary, a continuation sheet. The generator shall specify:
    (1) For each bulk load of PCBs, the identity of the PCB waste, the 
earliest date of removal from service for disposal, and the weight in 
kilograms of the PCB waste.
    (2) For each PCB Article Container or PCB Container, the unique 
identifying number, type of PCB waste (e.g., soil, debris, small 
capacitors), earliest date of removal from service for disposal, and 
weight in kilograms of the PCB waste contained.
    (3) For each PCB Article not in a PCB Container or PCB Article 
Container, the serial number if available, or other identification if 
there is no serial number, the date of removal from service for 
disposal, and weight in kilograms of the PCB waste in each PCB Article.
    (b) EPA does not maintain supplies of printed copies of Form 8700-22 
for public use, although printed copies of the manifest may be available 
from State offices. Camera-ready copies of the form are available for 
printing purposes from State offices, EPA Regional Offices, and EPA 
Headquarters.
    (c) If the State to which the shipment is manifested (i.e., 
consignment State) supplies the manifest and requires its use, then the 
generator must use that manifest.
    (d) If the consignment State does not supply the manifest, but the 
State in which the generator is located (i.e., generator State) supplies 
the manifest and requires its use, then the generator must use that 
State's manifest.
    (e) If both the consignment State and the generator State supply 
manifests and require their use, the generator must use the consignment 
State's manifest.
    (f) If neither the generator State nor the consignment State 
supplies the manifest, the generator may obtain the manifest from any 
source.
    (g) A generator shall designate on the manifest one off-site 
commercial storage or disposal facility approved under this part for the 
commercial storage or disposal of the PCBs and PCB Items described on 
the manifest.
    (h) If the transporter is unable to deliver the PCB waste to the 
designated disposer or commercial storer, the transporter must contact 
the generator of the PCB waste for instructions. The generator shall 
either designate another approved disposer or commercial storer, or 
instruct the transporter to return the PCB waste back to the generator.
    (i) The manifest which accompanies the PCB waste shall consist of at 
a minimum the number of copies required to provide the generator, the 
initial transporter, each subsequent transporter, and the owner or 
operator of the designated commercial storage or disposal facility with 
one legible copy each for their records, and one additional copy to be 
returned to the generator by the owner or operator of the first 
designated commercial storage or disposal facility.
    (j) The requirements of this section apply only to PCB wastes as 
defined in Sec. 761.3. This includes PCB wastes with PCB concentrations 
below 50 ppm where the PCB concentration below 50 ppm was the result of 
dilution; these PCB wastes are required under Sec. 761.1(b) to be 
managed as if they contained PCB concentrations of 50 ppm and above. An 
example of such a PCB waste is spill cleanup material containing <50 ppm 
PCBs when the spill involved material containing PCBs at a concentration 
of 50 ppm. However, there is no manifest requirement for 
material currently below 50 ppm which derives from pre-April 18, 1978, 
spills of any concentration, pre-July 2, 1979, spills of < 500 ppm PCBs, 
or materials decontaminated in accordance with Sec. 761.79.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35461, June 29, 1998, Sec. 761.207 
was amended by revising paragraph (j), effective Aug. 28, 1998. For the

[[Page 611]]

convenience of the user, the superseded text is set forth as follows:

Sec. 761.207  The manifest--general requirements.

                                * * * * *

    (j) The requirements of this section apply only to PCB wastes as 
defined in Sec. 761.3. This includes PCB wastes with PCB concentrations 
below 50 ppm where the PCB concentration below 50 ppm was the result of 
dilution; these PCB wastes are required, under Sec. 761.1(b), to be 
managed as if they contained PCB concentrations greater than 50 ppm. An 
example of such a PCB waste is spill cleanup material containing less 
than 50 ppm PCBs when the spill involved material containing greater 
than 50 ppm.



Sec. 761.208  Use of the manifest.

    (a)(1) The generator of PCB waste shall:
    (i) Sign the manifest certification by hand.
    (ii) Obtain the handwritten signature of the initial transporter and 
date of acceptance on the manifest.
    (iii) Retain one copy among its records in accordance with 
Sec. 761.209(a).
    (iv) Give to the transporter the remaining copies of the manifest 
that will accompany the shipment of PCB waste.
    (2) For bulk shipments of PCB waste within the United States 
transported solely by water, the generator shall send three copies of 
the manifest dated and signed in accordance with this section directly 
to the owner or operator of the designated commercial storage or 
disposal facility. Copies of the manifest are not required for each 
transporter.
    (3) For rail shipments of PCB waste within the United States which 
originate at the site of generation, the generator shall send at least 
three copies of the manifest dated and signed in accordance with this 
section to:
    (i) The next non-rail transporter, if any.
    (ii) The designated commercial storage or disposal facility if 
transported solely by rail.
    (4) When a generator has employed an independent transporter to 
transport the PCB waste to a commercial storer or disposer, the 
generator shall confirm by telephone, or by other means of confirmation 
agreed to by both parties, that the commercial storer or disposer 
actually received the manifested waste. The generator shall confirm 
receipt of the waste by close of business the day after he receives the 
manifest hand-signed by the commercial storer or disposer, in accordance 
with paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section. If the generator has not 
received the hand-signed manifest within 35 days after the independent 
transporter accepted the PCB waste, the generator shall telephone, or 
communicate with by some other agreed-upon means, the disposer or 
commercial storer to determine whether the PCB waste has actually been 
received. If the PCB waste has not been received, the generator shall 
contact the independent transporter to determine the disposition of the 
PCB waste. If the generator has not received a hand-signed manifest from 
an EPA-approved facility within 10 days from the date of the telephone 
call or other agreed upon means of communication, to the independent 
transporter, the generator shall submit an exception report to the EPA 
Regional Administrator for the Region in which the generator is located, 
as specified in Sec. 761.215. The generator shall retain a written 
record of all telephone or other confirmations to be included in the 
annual document log, in accordance with Sec. 761.180.
    (b)(1) A transporter shall not accept PCB waste from a generator 
unless it is accompanied by a manifest signed by the generator in 
accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section, except that a manifest 
is not required if any one of the following conditions exists:
    (i) The shipment of PCB waste consists solely of PCB wastes with PCB 
concentrations below 50 ppm, unless the PCB concentration below 50 ppm 
was the result of dilution, in which case Sec. 761.1(b) requires that 
the waste be managed as if it contained PCBs at the concentration prior 
to dilution.
    (ii) The PCB waste is accepted by the transporter for transport only 
to a storage or disposal facility owned or operated by the generator of 
the PCB waste.
    (2) Before transporting the PCB waste, the transporter shall sign 
and date the manifest acknowledging acceptance of the PCB waste from the

[[Page 612]]

generator. The transporter shall return a signed copy to the generator 
before leaving the generator's facility.
    (3) The transporter shall ensure that the manifest accompanies the 
PCB waste.
    (4) A transporter who delivers PCB waste to another transporter, or 
to the designated commercial storer or disposer of PCB waste, shall:
    (i) Obtain the date of delivery and the handwritten signature of the 
subsequent transporter of PCB waste, or of the owner or operator of the 
designated commercial storage or disposal facility on the manifest.
    (ii) Retain one copy of the manifest in accordance with 
Sec. 761.209(b).
    (iii) Give the remaining copies of the manifest to the accepting 
transporter of PCB waste, or to the designated commercial storage or 
disposal facility.
    (5) The requirements of paragraphs (b) (3) and (4) of this section 
shall not apply to transporters of bulk shipments by water if all of the 
following conditions are met:
    (i) The PCB waste is delivered by water (bulk shipment) to the 
designated commercial storage or disposal facility.
    (ii) A shipping paper containing all the information required on the 
manifest (excluding EPA identification number, generator certification, 
and signatures) accompanies the PCB waste.
    (iii) The transporter delivering the PCB waste obtains the date of 
delivery and handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the 
designated commercial storage or disposal facility on either the 
manifest or the shipping paper.
    (iv) The person delivering the PCB waste to the initial water (bulk 
shipment) transporter obtains the date of delivery and signature of the 
water (bulk shipment) transporter on the manifest and forwards it to the 
designated facility.
    (v) A copy of the shipping paper or manifest is retained by each 
water (bulk shipment) transporter in accordance with Sec. 761.209(b).
    (6) For shipments involving rail transportation, the requirements of 
paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of this section shall not apply. Instead, 
the requirements described at Sec. 263.20(f) of this chapter for the 
rail transportation of hazardous waste apply to such shipments. The rail 
transporter shall retain one copy of the manifest or rail shipping paper 
in accordance with Sec. 761.209(b).
    (7) The transporter shall deliver the entire quantity of PCB waste 
accepted from a generator or transporter to either of the following 
destinations:
    (i) The designated commercial storage or disposal facility listed on 
the manifest.
    (ii) The next designated transporter of PCB waste.
    (8) If the PCB waste cannot be delivered in accordance with 
paragraph (b)(7) of this section, the transporter shall contact the 
generator for further directions and shall revise the manifest and/or 
return the PCB waste according to the generator's instructions.
    (9) No provision of this section shall be construed to affect or 
limit the applicability of any requirement applicable to transporters of 
PCB waste under regulations issued by the Department of Transportation 
(DOT) and set forth at 49 CFR part 171.
    (c)(1) If a commercial storage or disposal facility receives an off-
site shipment of PCB waste accompanied by a manifest, the owner or 
operator, or his agent, shall:
    (i) Sign and date each copy of the manifest to certify that the PCB 
waste covered by the manifest was received.
    (ii) Note any significant discrepancies in the manifest (as defined 
in Sec. 761.210(a)(1)) on each copy of the manifest.
    (iii) Immediately give the transporter at least one copy of the 
signed manifest.
    (iv) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the manifest 
to the generator.
    (v) Retain a copy of each manifest among the facility's records in 
accordance with Sec. 761.209(d).
    (2) If a commercial storage or disposal facility receives PCB waste 
from a rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter accompanied by a 
shipping paper containing all the information required on the manifest 
except the

[[Page 613]]

EPA identification numbers, generator's certification, and signatures, 
the owner or operator, or his agent, shall:
    (i) Sign and date each copy of the manifest or shipping paper to 
certify that the PCB waste covered by the manifest or shipping paper was 
received.

 Subpart M--Determining a PCB Concentration for Purposes of Abandonment 
or Disposal of Natural Gas Pipeline: Selecting Sample Sites, Collecting 
        Surface Samples, and Analyzing Standard PCB Wipe Samples

    Source:  63 FR 35462, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35462, June 29, 1998, subpart M was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.240   Scope and definitions.

    (a) Use these procedures to select surface sampling sites for 
natural gas pipe to determine its PCB surface concentration for 
abandonment-in-place or removal and disposal off-site in accordance with 
Sec. 761.60(b)(5).
    (b) ``Pipe segment'' means a length of natural gas pipe that has 
been removed from the pipeline system to be disposed of or reused, and 
that is usually approximately 12.2 meters (40 feet) or

[[Page 617]]

shorter in length. Pipe segments are usually linear.
    (c) ``Pipeline section'' means a length of natural gas pipe that has 
been cut or otherwise separated from the active pipeline, usually for 
purposes of abandonment, and that is usually longer than 12.2 meters in 
length. Pipeline sections may be branched.



Sec. 761.243   Standard wipe sample method and size.

    (a) Collect a surface sample from a natural gas pipe segment or 
pipeline section using a standard wipe test as defined in Sec. 761.123. 
Detailed guidance for the entire wipe sampling process appears in the 
document entitled ``Wipe Sampling and Double Wash/Rinse Cleanup as 
Recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency PCB Spill Cleanup 
Policy,'' dated June 23, 1987 and revised on April 18, 1991. This 
document is available from the TSCA Assistance Information Service, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
    (b) Collect a surface sample from a minimum surface area of 100 
cm2 at each sampling site selected. The EPA Regional 
Administrator may approve, in writing, requests to collect a sample from 
smaller surface areas, when <100 cm2 of surface eligible for 
sampling is present; e.g., when sampling a small diameter pipe, a small 
valve, or a small regulator. When smaller surfaces are sampled, convert 
the measurement to the equivalent measurement for 100 cm2 for 
purposes of comparison to standards based on 100 cm2.



Sec. 761.247   Sample site selection for pipe segment removal or pipeline section abandonment.

    (a) General. (1) Select the pipe segments to be sampled by following 
the directions in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Locate the proper position along the length of the pipe segment 
that you have selected for sampling, by following the directions in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (3) Select the proper sampling position around the circumference of 
the pipe segment or pipeline section that you have selected for 
sampling, by following the directions in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (4) Prior to removing pipe from the ground or lifting the pipe from 
its location during former operations, mark the top side of the pipe.
    (5) Do not sample if there are free-flowing liquids in the pipe 
segment. Free-flowing liquids must be removed prior to sampling.
    (b) Selecting pipe segments to sample. Select the pipe segment(s) 
that you will sample from a length of pipe or group of pipe segments, as 
follows:
    (1) Do not sample a pipe segment that is longer than 12.2 meters (40 
feet). If a segment is longer than 12.2 meters in length, cut the 
segment so that all resulting segments are 12.2 meters or less in 
length.
    (2) Determine which pipe segments to sample as follows:
    (i) When a length of pipe having seven or fewer segments is removed 
for purposes of disposal, sample each pipe segment.
    (ii) When removing a length of pipe having multiple contiguous 
segments less than 3 miles in total length, take samples from a total of 
seven segments.
    (A) Sample the first and last segments removed.
    (B) Select the five additional segments according to one of the two 
following procedures:
    (1) Assign all segments a unique sequential number. Then select five 
numbers using a random number table or random number generator. If the 
random number generator or random number table produces either the first 
pipe segment, the last pipe segment, or any previously selected segment, 
select another random number until there are seven different numbers, 
each corresponding to a different pipe segment.
    (2) Divide the total number of segments by six. Round the resulting 
quotient off to the nearest whole number. The resulting number is the 
interval between the segments you will sample. For example, cut a 2.9 
mile section of pipeline into 383 segments of approximately 40 feet 
each. Sample the first (number 1) and last (number 383) segments. To 
determine which additional five segments to sample, divide the total 
number of segments, 383, by 6.

[[Page 618]]

Round up the resulting number in this example, 63.8, to the next whole 
number, 64. Add 64 to the number of each preceding pipe segment five 
separate times to select five additional pipe segments for sampling. In 
this example, the first pipe segment has the number 1, add 64 to 1 to 
select segment 65. Next, add 64 to 65 to select segment 129. Continue in 
this fashion to select all seven segments: 1, 65, 129, 193, 257, 321, 
and 383.
    (iii) When removing a length of pipe having multiple contiguous 
segments more than 3 miles in total length for purposes of disposal, 
take samples of each segment that is \1/2\ mile distant from the segment 
previously sampled. Sample a minimum of seven segments.
    (c) Selecting the sampling position--length. Select the sampling 
position along the length of the pipeline section or pipe segment, as 
follows:
    (1) Take samples at the end upstream of the former gas flow of each 
segment removed.
    (2) If the pipe segment is cut with a torch or other high 
temperature heat source, take the sample at least 15 cm (6 inches) 
inside the cut end of the pipe segment.
    (3) If the pipe segment is cut with a saw or other mechanical 
device, take the sample at least 2 cm (1 inch) inside the end of the 
pipe segment.
    (4) If the sample site location selected in the procedure at 
paragraph (c)(2) or (c)(3) of this section is a porous surface (for 
example, there is significant corrosion so that the wipe material will 
be shredded), then move the sample site further inside the pipe segment 
(away from the end of the pipe or pipe segment) until there is no such 
porous surface. For purposes of this subpart, natural gas pipe with a 
thin porous corrosion preventive coating is a non-porous surface.
    (5) If there is not a non-porous surface accessible by paragraphs 
(c)(2) and (c)(3) of this section, use one of the following three 
options:
    (i) Sample the downstream end of the pipe segment using the same 
sample site location procedure as for the upstream end.
    (ii) Select another pipe segment using the random selection 
procedure described in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (iii) If there is no other pipeline section or pipe segment in the 
population to be sampled and both ends of a pipe segment have porous 
surfaces at all possible sample collection sites, then assume that the 
pipe segment contains 50 ppm PCB but <500 ppm PCB.
    (d) Selecting the sample position--circumference. Based on the mark 
on the top of the pipe segment made prior to removing pipe from the 
ground or lifting the pipe from its location during former operations, 
sample the inside center of the bottom of the pipe being sampled. Make 
sure the sample is centered on the bottom of the pipeline section or 
pipe segment; that is, sample an equal area on both sides of the middle 
of the bottom of the pipeline section or pipe segment for the entire 
length of the sample.



Sec. 761.250   Sample site selection for pipeline section abandonment.

    This procedure is for the sample site selection for a pipeline 
section to be abandoned, in accordance with Sec. 761.60(b)(5)(i)(B).
    (a) General. (1) Select sample collection sites in the pipeline 
section(s) by following the directions in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Select the proper sampling position along the pipe by following 
the directions in Sec. 761.247(d).
    (3) Assure, by visual inspection, the absence of free-flowing 
liquids in the pipe by affirming no liquids at all liquid collection 
points and all ends of the pipeline section to be abandoned.
    (b) Selection sample collection sites. At a minimum, sample all ends 
of all pipeline sections to be abandoned in place.
    (1) If the pipeline section to be abandoned is between the pressure 
side of one compressor station and the suction side of the next 
compressor station downstream of the former gas flow, at a minimum, 
sample all ends of the abandoned pipe.
    (2) If the pipeline section to be abandoned is longer than the 
distance between the pressure side of one compressor station and the 
suction side of the next compressor station downstream of the former gas 
flow, divide the pipeline section, for purposes of sampling, into

[[Page 619]]

smaller pipeline sections no longer than the distance from the pressure 
side of one compressor station to the suction side of the next 
compressor station downstream of the former gas flow. Consider each of 
the smaller sections to be a separate abandonment and sample each one, 
at a minimum, at all ends.
    (3) Use the following procedure to locate representative sample 
collection sites in pipeline sections at points other than the suction 
and pressure side of compressor stations, or the ends of the pipeline 
section to be abandoned.
    (i) First, assign a unique identifying sequential number to each 
kilometer or fraction of a kilometer length of pipe within the entire 
pipeline section.
    (ii) Use a random number table or a random number generator to 
select each representative sample collection site from a complete list 
of the sequential identification numbers.
    (iii) Samples may be collected by removing any covering soil, 
cutting the pipe to gain access to the sampling location, and collecting 
the surface sample with the pipe in place, rather than completely 
removing the pipeline sections to collect the surface sample.



Sec. 761.253   Chemical analysis.

    (a) Extract PCBs from the standard wipe sample collection medium and 
clean-up the extracted PCBs in accordance with either Method 3500B/3540C 
or Method 3500B/3550B from EPA's SW-846, Test Methods for Evaluating 
Solid Waste, or a method validated under subpart Q of this part. Use 
Method 8082 from SW-846, or a method validated under subpart Q of this 
part, to analyze these extracts for PCBs.
    (b) Report all PCB sample concentrations in g/100 
cm2 (16 square inches) of surface sampled. If sampling an 
area smaller than 100 cm2, report converted sample 
concentrations in accordance with Sec. 761.243(b).



Sec. 761.257   Determining the regulatory status of sampled pipe.

    (a) For purposes of removal for disposal of a pipe segment that has 
been sampled, the sample results for that segment determines its PCB 
surface concentration. Determine the PCB surface concentration of a 
segment which was not sampled as follows:
    (1) If the unsampled pipe segment is between two pipe segments which 
have been sampled, assume that the unsampled segment has the same PCB 
surface concentration as the nearest sampled pipe segment.
    (2) If an unsampled pipe segment is equidistant between two pipe 
segments which have been sampled, assume the PCB surface concentration 
of the unsampled segment to be the arithmetic mean of the PCB surface 
concentrations measured in the two equidistant, sampled, pipe segments.
    (b) For purposes of abandonment of a pipeline section, assume that 
the PCB surface concentration for an entire pipeline section is the 
arithmetic mean of the PCB surface concentrations measured at the ends 
of the pipeline section. If additional representative samples were taken 
in a pipeline section, assume that the PCB surface concentration for the 
entire pipeline section is the arithmetic mean of the concentrations 
measured in all representative samples taken.
    (c) For purposes of removal for disposal under 
Sec. 761.60(b)(5)(ii)(A)(1) or abandonment under 
Sec. 761.60(b)(5)(i)(B), if the surface PCB concentration of a pipe 
segment, determined by direct measurement or in accordance with 
paragraph (a) of this section, or of a pipeline section as determined in 
accordance with paragraph (b) of this section, is >10 g/100 
cm2, but <100 g/100 cm2, then that 
segment or section is PCB-Contaminated.

the entire depth of the waste at the center of the container. Collect a 
minimum of 50 cm3 of waste for analysis.
    (2) If more than one core sample is taken, thoroughly mix all 
samples into a composite sample. Take a subsample of a minimum of 50 
cm3 from the mixed composite for analysis.
    (c) Use the following procedures to sample bulk PCB remediation 
waste that is in more than one container.
    (1) Segregate the containers by type (for example, a 55-gallon drum 
and a roll-off container are types of containers).
    (2) For fewer than three containers of the same type, sample all 
containers.
    (3) For more than three containers of the same type, list the

[[Page 621]]


    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35465, June 29, 1998, subpart O was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.280   Application and scope.

    Follow the procedures in this subpart when sampling to verify 
completion of the cleanup for self-implementing, on-site disposal of 
bulk PCB remediation waste and porous surfaces consistent with the 
levels of Sec. 761.61(a)(4)(i) and (iii). The objective of this subpart 
is not to search for new contamination. Confirmation of compliance with 
the cleanup levels in Sec. 761.61(a)(4) is only verifiable for the area 
sampled in accordance with this subpart. Do not make conclusions or 
extrapolations about PCB concentrations outside of the area which has 
been cleaned up and verified based on the results of this verification 
sampling.



Sec. 761.283   Determination of the number of samples to collect and sample collection locations.

    This section addresses how to determine the number of samples to 
collect and sample collection locations for bulk PCB remediation waste 
and porous surfaces destined to remain at a cleanup site after cleanup.
    (a) Minimum number of samples. (1) At each separate cleanup site at 
a PCB remediation waste location, take a minimum of three samples for 
each type of bulk PCB remediation waste or porous surface at the cleanup 
site, regardless of the amount of each type of waste that is present. 
There is no upper limit to the number of samples required or allowed.
    (2) This is an example of how to calculate the minimum number of 
required samples at a PCB remediation waste location. There are three 
distinct cleanup sites at this example location: a loading dock, a 
transformer storage lot, and a disposal pit. The minimum number of 
samples to take appears in parentheses after each type of waste for each 
cleanup site. The PCB remediation wastes present at the loading dock are 
concrete (three samples) and clay soil (three samples). The non-liquid 
PCB remediation wastes present at the transformer storage lot are oily 
soil (three samples), clay soil (three samples) and gravel (three 
samples). The PCB remediation wastes present at the disposal pit are 
sandy soil (three samples), clay soil (three samples), oily soil (three 
samples), industrial sludge (three samples), and gravel (three samples).
    (b) Selection of sample locations--general. (1)(i) Use a square-
based grid system to overlay the entire area to be sampled. Orient the 
grid axes on a magnetic north-south line centered in the area and an 
east-west axis perpendicular to the magnetic north-south axis also 
centered in the area.
    (ii) If the site is recleaned based on the results of cleanup 
verification conducted in accordance with Sec. 761.61(a)(6), follow the 
procedures in paragraph (b) of this section for locating sampling points 
after the recleaning, but reorient the grid axes established in 
paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section by moving the origin one meter in 
the direction of magnetic north and one meter in the direction east of 
magnetic north.
    (2) Mark out a series of sampling points 1.5 meters apart oriented 
to the grid axes. The sampling points shall proceed in every direction 
to the extent sufficient to result in a two-dimensional grid completely 
overlaying the sampling area.
    (3) Collect a sample at each point if the grid falls in the cleanup 
area. Analyze all samples either individually or according to the 
compositing schemes provided in the procedures at Sec. 761.289. So long 
as every sample collected at a grid point is analyzed as either an 
individual sample or as part of a composite sample, there are no other 
restrictions on how many samples are analyzed.
    (c) Selection of sample locations--small cleanup sites. When a 
cleanup site is sufficiently small or irregularly shaped that a square 
grid with a grid interval of 1.5 meters will not result in a minimum of 
three sampling points for each type of bulk PCB remediation waste or 
porous surface at the cleanup site, there are two options.
    (1) Use a smaller square grid interval and the procedures in 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Use the following coordinate-based random sampling scheme. If 
the site is recleaned based on the results of cleanup verification 
conducted in accordance with Sec. 761.61(a)(6), follow the procedures in 
this section for locating

[[Page 622]]

sampling points after the recleaning, but select three new pairs of 
sampling coordinates.
    (i) Beginning in the southwest corner (lower left when facing 
magnetic north) of the area to be sampled, measure in centimeters (or 
inches) the maximum magnetic north-south dimension of the area to be 
sampled. Next, beginning in the southwest corner, measure in centimeters 
(or inches) the maximum magnetic east-west dimension of the area to be 
sampled. Designate the north-south and east-west dimensions (describing 
the west and south boundaries, respectively, of the area to be sampled), 
as the reference axes of a square-based grid system.
    (ii) Use a random number table or random number generator to select 
a pair of coordinates that will locate the sample within the area to be 
sampled. The first coordinate in the pair is the measurement on the 
north-south axis. The second coordinate in the pair is the measurement 
on the east-west axis. Collect the sample at the intersection of an 
east-west line drawn through the measured spot on the north-south axis, 
and a north-south line drawn through the measured spot on the east-west 
axis. If the cleanup site is irregularly shaped and this intersection 
falls outside the cleanup site, select a new pair of sampling 
coordinates. Continue to select pairs of sampling coordinates until 
three are selected for each type of bulk PCB remediation waste or porous 
surface at the cleanup site.
    (d) Area of inference. Analytical results for an individual sample 
point apply to the sample point and to an area of inference extending to 
four imaginary lines parallel to the grid axes and one half grid 
interval distant from the sample point in four different directions. The 
area of inference forms a square around the sample point. The sides of 
the square are parallel to the grid axes and one grid interval in 
length. The sample point is in the center of the square area of 
inference. The area of inference from a composite sample is the total of 
the areas of the individual samples included in the composite.



Sec. 761.286   Sample size and procedure for collecting a sample.

    At each selected sampling location for bulk PCB remediation waste or 
porous surfaces, collect at least 20 milliliters of waste, or a portion 
of sufficient weight for the chemical analyst to measure the 
concentration of PCBs and still have sufficient analytical detection 
sensitivity to reproducibly measure PCBs at the levels designated in 
Sec. 761.61(a)(4). Use a core sampler having a diameter 2 cm 
and 3 cm. Collect waste to a maximum depth of 7.5 cms.



Sec. 761.289   Compositing samples.

    Compositing is a method of combining several samples of a specific 
type of bulk PCB remediation waste or porous surface from nearby 
locations for a single chemical analysis. There are two procedures for 
compositing bulk PCB remediation waste samples. These procedures are 
based on the method for selecting sampling site locations in 
Sec. 761.283(b) and (c). The single chemical analysis of a composite 
sample results in an averaging of the concentrations of its component 
samples. The area of inference of a composite is determined by the area 
of inference of each of its component samples as described in 
Sec. 761.283(d). Compositing is not mandatory. However, if compositing 
is used, it must be performed in accordance with the following 
procedures.
    (a) Compositing in the field or in a laboratory. Compositing may 
occur either in the field or in a laboratory. Prepare composite samples 
using equal volumes of each constituent or component sample. Composited 
samples must be from the same type of bulk PCB remediation waste or 
porous surface (see the example at Sec. 761.283(a)(2)). Mix composite 
samples thoroughly. From each well-mixed composite sample, take a 
portion of sufficient weight for the chemical analyst to measure the 
concentration of PCBs and still have sufficient analytical detection 
sensitivity to reproducibly measure PCBs at the levels designated in 
Sec. 761.61(a)(4).
    (b)(1) Compositing from samples collected at grid points in 
accordance with Sec. 761.283(b). There are two kinds of composite 
sampling procedures depending on the original source of contamination of 
the site.

[[Page 623]]

    (i) The first procedure is for sites with multiple point sources of 
contamination (such as an old electrical equipment storage area, a scrap 
yard, or repair shop) or for unknown sources of contamination. Under 
this compositing scheme, composite a maximum of nine samples for each 
type of bulk PCB remediation waste or porous surface at the cleanup 
site. The maximum dimensions of the area enclosing a nine grid point 
composite is two grid intervals bounded by three collinear grid points 
(3.0 meters or approximately 10 feet long). Take all samples in the 
composite at the same depth. Assure that composite sample areas and 
individually analyzed samples completely overlay the cleanup site.
    (ii) The second procedure is for a single point source of 
contamination, such as discharge into a large containment area (e.g., 
pit, waste lagoon, or evaporation pond), or a leak onto soil from a 
single drum or tank. Single point source contamination may be from a 
one-time or continuous contamination. Composites come from two stages: 
an initial compositing area centered in the area to be sampled, and 
subsequent compositing areas forming concentric square zones around the 
initial compositing area. The center of the initial compositing area and 
each of the subsequent compositing areas is the origin of the grid axes.
    (A) Definition of the initial compositing area. The initial 
compositing area is based on a square that contains nine grid points, is 
centered on the grid origin, and has sides two grid intervals long. The 
initial compositing area has the same center as this square and sides 
one half a grid interval more distant from the center than the square. 
The initial compositing area has sides three grid intervals long.
    (B) Definition of subsequent compositing areas. Subsequent composite 
sampling areas are in concentric square zones one grid interval wide 
around the initial compositing area and around each successive 
subsequent compositing area. The inner boundary of the first subsequent 
compositing area is the outer boundary of the initial compositing area. 
The outer boundary of the first subsequent compositing area is centered 
on the grid origin, has sides one grid interval more distant from the 
grid origin than the inner boundary, and is two grid intervals longer on 
a side than the inner boundary. The inner boundary of each further 
subsequent compositing area is the outer boundary of the previous 
subsequent compositing area. The outer boundary of each further 
subsequent compositing area is centered on the grid origin, has sides 
one grid interval more distant from the grid origin than the inner 
boundary, and is two grid intervals longer on a side than the inner 
boundary.
    (C) Taking composite samples from the initial and subsequent 
compositing areas. (1) Select composite sampling areas from the initial 
compositing area and subsequent compositing areas such that all grid 
points in the initial compositing area and subsequent compositing areas 
are part of a composite or individual sample.
    (2) A person may include in a single composite sample a maximum of 
all nine grid points in the initial compositing area. The maximum number 
of grid points in a composite sample taken from a subsequent compositing 
area is eight. These eight grid points must be adjacent to one another 
in the subsequent compositing area, but need not be collinear.
    (2) Compositing from samples taken at grid points or pairs of 
coordinates in accordance with Sec. 761.283(c). Samples collected at 
small sites are based on selecting pairs of coordinates or using the 
sample site selection procedure for grid sampling with a smaller grid 
interval.
    (i) Samples collected from a grid having a smaller grid interval. 
Use the procedure in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section to composite 
samples and determine the area of inference for composite samples.
    (ii) Samples collected from pairs of coordinates. All three samples 
must be composited. The area of inference for the composite is the 
entire area sampled.



Sec. 761.292   Chemical extraction and analysis of individual samples and composite samples.

    Use either Method 3500B/3540C or Method 3500B/3550B from EPA's SW-
846,

[[Page 624]]

Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, or a method validated under 
subpart Q of this part, for chemical extraction of PCBs from individual 
and composite samples of PCB remediation waste. Use Method 8082 from SW-
846, or a method validated under subpart Q of this part, to analyze 
these extracts for PCBs.



Sec. 761.295   Reporting and recordkeeping of the PCB concentrations in samples.

    (a) Report all sample concentrations for bulk PCB remediation waste 
and porous surfaces on a dry weight basis and as micrograms of PCBs per 
gram of sample (ppm by weight).
    (b) Record and keep on file for 3 years the PCB concentration for 
each sample or composite sample.



Sec. 761.298   Decisions based on PCB concentration measurements resulting from sampling.

    (a) For grid samples which are chemically analyzed individually, the 
PCB concentration applies to the area of inference as described in 
Sec. 761.283(d).
    (b) For grid samples analyzed as part of a composite sample, the PCB 
concentration applies to the area of inference of the composite sample 
as described in Sec. 761.283(d) (i.e., the area of inference is the 
total of the areas of the individual samples included in the composite).
    (c) For coordinate pair samples analyzed as part of a composite 
sample, in accordance with Secs. 761.283(c)(2) and 761.289(b)(2)(ii), 
the PCB concentration applies to the entire cleanup site.

  Reuse, and On-Site or Off-Site Disposal Under Sec. 761.61(a)(6) and 
                 Decontamination under Sec. 761.79(b)(3)

    Source:  63 FR 35467, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35467, June 29, 1998, subpart P was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.300   Applicability.

    This subpart provides sample site selection procedures for large, 
nearly flat non-porous surfaces, and for small or irregularly shaped 
non-porous surfaces. This subpart also provides procedures for analyzing 
the samples and interpreting the results of the sampling. Any person 
verifying completion of self-implementing cleanup and on-site disposal 
of non-porous surfaces under Sec. 761.61(a)(6), or verifying that 
decontamination standards under Sec. 761.79(b)(3) are met, must use 
these procedures.



Sec. 761.302   Proportion of the total surface area to sample.

    (a) Large nearly flat surfaces. Divide the entire surface into 
approximately 1 meter square portions and mark the portions so that they 
are clearly identified. Determine the sample location in each portion as 
directed in Sec. 761.304.
    (1) For large nearly flat surfaces contaminated by a single source 
of PCBs with a uniform concentration, assign each 1 meter square surface 
a unique sequential number.
    (i) For three or fewer 1 meter square areas, sample all of the 
areas.
    (ii) For four or more 1 meter square areas, use a random number 
generator or table to select a minimum of 10 percent of the areas from 
the list, or to select three areas, whichever is more.
    (2) For other large nearly flat surfaces, sample all of the one 
meter square areas.
    (b) Small or irregularly shaped surfaces. For small surfaces having 
irregular contours, such as hand tools, natural gas pipeline valves, and 
most exterior surfaces of machine tools, sample the entire surface. Any 
person may select sampling locations for small, nearly flat surfaces in 
accordance with Sec. 761.308 with the exception that the maximum area in 
Sec. 761.308(a) is <1 meter square.
    (c) Preparation of surfaces. Drain all free-flowing liquids from 
surfaces and brush off dust or loose grit.



Sec. 761.304   Determining sample location.

    (a) For 1 square meter non-porous surface areas having the same size 
and shape, it is permissible to sample the

[[Page 625]]

same 10 cm by 10 cm location or position in each identical 1 square 
meter area. This location or position is determined in accordance with 
Sec. 761.306 or Sec. 761.308.
    (b) If some 1 square meter surfaces for a larger non-porous surface 
area have different sizes and shapes, separately select the 10 cm by 10 
cm sampling position for each different 1 square meter surface in 
accordance with Sec. 761.308.
    (c) If non-porous surfaces have been cleaned and the cleaned 
surfaces do not meet the applicable standards or levels, surfaces may be 
recleaned and resampled. When resampling surfaces previously sampled to 
verify cleanup levels, use the sampling procedures in Secs. 761.306 
through 761.316 to resample the surfaces. If any sample site selected 
coincides with a previous sampling site, restart the sample selection 
process until all resampling sites are different from any previous 
sampling sites.



Sec. 761.306   Sampling 1 meter square surfaces by random selection of halves.

    (a) Divide each 1 meter square portion where it is necessary to 
collect a surface wipe test sample into two equal (or as nearly equal as 
possible) halves. For example, divide the area into top and bottom 
halves or left and right halves. Choose the top/bottom or left/right 
division that produces halves having as close to the shape of a circle 
as possible. For example, a square is closer to the shape of a circle 
than is a rectangle and a rectangle having a length to width ratio of 
2:1 is closer to the shape of a circle than a rectangle having a length 
to width ratio of 3:1.
    (b) Assign a unique identifier to each half and then select one of 
the halves for further sampling with a random number generator or other 
device (i.e., by flipping a coin).
    (c) Continue selecting progressively smaller halves by dividing the 
previously selected half, in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
this section, until the final selected half is larger than or equal to 
100 cm2 and smaller than 200 cm2.
    (d) Perform a standard PCB wipe test on the final selected halves 
from each 1 meter square portion.
    (e) The following is an example of applying sampling by halves. 
Assume that the area to sample is a 1 meter square surface area (a 
square that has sides 1 meter long). Assign each half to one face of a 
coin. After flipping the coin, the half assigned to the face of the coin 
that is showing is the half selected.
    (1) Selecting the first half:
    (i) For a square shape the top/bottom halves have the same shape as 
the left/right halves when compared to a circle, i.e., regardless of 
which way the surface is divided, each half is 1 half meter wide by 1 
meter long. Therefore, divide the area either top/bottom or left/right. 
For selecting the first half, this example will select from left/right 
halves.
    (ii) A coin flip selects the left half. The dimensions of this 
selected surface area are 1 meter high and \1/2\ meter wide.
    (2) Selecting the second half:
    (i) If the next selection of halves was left/right, the halves would 
be rectangles four times as long as they are wide (\1/4\ meter wide and 
1 meter high). Halves selected from top/bottom would be square (\1/2\ 
meter on a side). Therefore, select the next halves top/bottom, because 
the shape of the top/bottom halves (square) is closer to the shape of a 
circle than the shape of the left/right halves (long narrow rectangles).
    (ii) A coin flip selects the top half. The dimensions of this 
selected surface area are \1/2\ meter high and \1/2\ meter wide.
    (3) Selecting the third half:
    (i) Just as for the selection of the first half, which divided the 
original square area, both the left/right and the top/bottom halves have 
the same shape when compared to a circle (both are rectangles having the 
same dimensions). Therefore, choose either left/right or top/bottom 
halves. This example will select from left/right halves.
    (ii) A coin flip selects the right half. The dimensions of this 
selected surface are \1/4\ meter by \1/2\ meter.
    (4) Selecting the fourth half:
    (i) If the next selection of halves was left/right, the halves would 
be rectangles four times as long as they are wide (\1/8\ meter wide and 
\1/2\ meter high. Halves selected from top/bottom would

[[Page 626]]

be square (\1/4\ meter on a side). Therefore, select the next halves 
top/bottom, because the shape of the top/bottom halves (square) are 
closer to the shape of a circle than the shape of the left/right halves 
(long narrow rectangles).
    (ii) A coin flip selects the bottom half. The dimensions of this 
selected surface area are \1/4\ meter high and \1/4\ meter wide.
    (5) Selecting the fifth half:
    (i) Just as for the selection of the first and third halves, both 
the left/right and the top/bottom halves have the same shape when 
compared to a circle (both are rectangles having the same dimensions). 
Therefore, choose either left/right or top/bottom halves. This example 
will select from left/right halves.
    (ii) A coin flip selects the right half. The dimensions of the 
selected surface are \1/8\ meter by \1/4\ meter.
    (6) Selecting the sixth half:
    (i) If the next selection of halves was left/right, the halves would 
be rectangles four times as long as they are wide (\1/16\ meter wide and 
\1/4\ meter high. Halves selected from top/bottom would be square (\1/8\ 
meter on a side). Therefore, select the next halves top/bottom, because 
the shape of the top/bottom halves (square) are closer to the shape of a 
circle than the shape of the left/right halves (long narrow rectangles).
    (ii) A coin flip selects the top half. The dimensions of this 
selected surface are \1/8\ meter high and \1/8\ meter wide or 12.5 cm by 
12.5 cm.
    (7) Collect a standard wipe test sample in the sixth half. Since the 
dimensions of half of the sixth half would be 12.5 cm by 6.25 cm, the 
area (approximately 78 cm2) would be less than the required 
100 cm2 minimum area for the standard wipe test. Therefore, 
no further sampling by halves is necessary. Take the standard wipe test 
samples of the entire selected sixth half.



Sec. 761.308   Sample selection by random number generation on any two-dimensional square grid.

    (a) Divide the surface area of the non-porous surface into 
rectangular or square areas having a maximum area of 1 square meter and 
a minimum dimension of 10 centimeters.
    (b) Measure the length and width, in centimeters, of each area 
created in paragraph (a) of this section. Round off the number of 
centimeters in the length and the width measurements to the nearest 
centimeter.
    (c) For each 1 square meter area created in accordance with 
paragraph (a) of this section, select two random numbers: one each for 
the length and width borders measured in paragraph (b) of this section. 
An eligible random number can be from zero up to the total width, minus 
10 centimeters.
    (d) Locate the 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter sample.
    (1) Orient the 1 square meter surface area so that, when you are 
facing the area, the length is left to right and the width is top to 
bottom. The origin, or reference point for measuring selected random 
numbers of centimeters to the sampling area, is on the lower left corner 
when facing the surface.
    (2) Mark the random number selected for the length distance, in 
centimeters, from the origin to the right (at the bottom of the area 
away from the origin).
    (3) From the marked length distance on the bottom of the area, move 
perpendicularly up from the bottom of the area into the area for the 
distance randomly selected for the width.
    (4) Use the point determined in paragraph (d)(3) of this section as 
the lower left corner of the 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter sample.



Sec. 761.310   Collecting the sample.

    Use the standard wipe test as defined in Sec. 761.123 to sample one 
10 centimeter by 10 centimeter square (100 cm2) area to 
represent surface area PCB concentrations of each square meter or 
fraction of a square meter of a nearly flat, non-porous surface. For 
small surfaces, use the same procedure as for the standard wipe test, 
only sample the entire area, rather than 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter 
squares.



Sec. 761.312   Compositing of samples.

    For a surface originally contaminated by a single source of PCBs 
with a uniform concentration, it is permissible to composite surface 
wipe test samples and to use the composite measurement to represent the 
PCB concentration of the entire surface.

[[Page 627]]

Composite samples consist of more than one sample gauze extracted and 
chemically analyzed together resulting in a single measurement. The 
composite measurement represents an arithmetic mean of the composited 
samples.
    (a) Compositing samples from surfaces to be used or reused. For 
small or irregularly shaped surfaces or large nearly flat surfaces, if 
the surfaces are contaminated by a single source of PCBs with a uniform 
concentration, composite a maximum of three adjacent samples.
    (b) Compositing samples from surfaces to be disposed of off-site or 
on-site. (1) For small or irregularly shaped surfaces, composite a 
maximum of three adjacent samples.
    (2) For large nearly flat surfaces, composite a maximum of 10 
adjacent samples.



Sec. 761.314   Chemical analysis of standard wipe test samples.

    Perform the chemical analysis of standard wipe test samples in 
accordance with Sec. 761.272. Report sample results in micrograms per 
100 cm2.



Sec. 761.316   Interpreting PCB concentration measurements resulting from this sampling scheme.

    (a) For an individual sample taken from an approximately 1 meter 
square portion of the entire surface area and not composited with other 
samples, the status of the portion is based on the surface concentration 
measured in that sample. If the sample surface concentration is not 
equal to or lower than the cleanup level, by inference the entire 1 
meter area, and not just the immediate area where the sample was taken, 
is not equal to or lower than the cleanup level.
    (b) For areas represented by the measurement results from 
compositing more than one 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter sample, the 
measurement for the composite is the measurement for the entire area. 
For example, when there is a composite of 10 standard wipe test samples 
representing 9.5 square meters of surface area and the result of the 
analysis of the composite is 20 g/100 cm2, then the 
entire 9.5 square meters has a PCB surface concentration of 20 
g/100 cm2, not just the area in the 10 cm by 10 cm 
sampled areas.
    (c) For small surfaces having irregular contours, where the entire 
surface was sampled, measure the surface area. Divide 100 cm2 
by the surface area and multiply this quotient by the total number of 
micrograms of PCBs on the surface to obtain the equivalent measurement 
of micrograms per 100 cm2.



    Subpart Q--Self-Implementing Alternative Extraction and Chemical 
    Analysis Procedures for Non-liquid PCB Remediation Waste Samples

    Source:  63 FR 35468, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35468, June 29, 1998, subpart Q was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.320   Applicability.

    This subpart describes self-implementing comparison testing 
requirements for chemical extraction and chemical analysis methods used 
as an alternative to the methods required in Secs. 761.272 or 761.292. 
Any person conducting comparison testing under this subpart must comply 
with the requirements of Sec. 761.80(i), including notification. Use 
alternative methods only after successful completion of these comparison 
testing requirements and after documentation of the results of the 
testing.



Sec. 761.323   Sample preparation.

    (a) The comparison study requires analysis of a minimum of 10 
samples weighing at least 300 grams each. Samples of PCB remediation 
waste used in the comparison study must meet the following three 
requirements.
    (1) The samples must either be taken from the PCB remediation waste 
at the cleanup site, or must be the same kind of material as that waste. 
For example, if the waste at the cleanup site is sandy soil, you must 
use the same kind of sandy soil in the comparison study. Do not use 
unrelated materials such as clay soil or dredged sediments in place of 
sandy soil.
    (2) PCB remediation waste may contain interferences which confound 
or

[[Page 628]]

hamper sample extraction and chemical analysis. These interferences may 
be from chemicals or other attributes preexisting in the waste material, 
resulting from the PCB contamination source, or resulting from treatment 
to remove or destroy PCBs. Comparison study samples must also contain 
these interfering materials to demonstrate successful analysis in their 
presence. For example, a PCB remediation waste may have been co-disposed 
with chlorobenzene solvents or chlorinated pesticides. These chlorinated 
compounds would have to be present in the comparison study compounds at 
the same levels found, or at the highest levels expected to be found, in 
the PCB remediation waste. As another example, for PCB remediation waste 
which had been solvent washed with liquid amines to remove PCBs, 
comparison study samples would have to contain concentrations of these 
amines at the same levels found, or at the highest levels expected to be 
found, in the PCB remediation waste.
    (b) Prior to initiating the comparison study, confirm the following 
PCB concentrations in the comparison study samples using the methods 
specified in Sec. 761.292. All samples of non-liquid PCB remediation 
waste must have PCB concentrations between 0.1 and 150 ppm.
    (1) A minimum of three comparison study samples must have PCB 
concentrations above the cleanup level specified for the site in 
Sec. 761.61(a)(4) and a minimum of three comparison study samples must 
have PCB concentrations below the specified cleanup level.
    (2) At least one comparison study sample must have a PCB 
concentration 90 percent and 100 percent of the 
cleanup level.
    (3) At least one comparison study sample must have a PCB 
concentration 100 percent and 110 percent of the 
cleanup level.
    (c) If the comparison study samples do not have the concentrations 
or concentration ranges required by paragraph (b) of this section, for 
purposes of use in this chemical extraction and chemical analysis 
comparison study, a person may adjust PCB concentrations by dilution. 
Any excess material resulting from the preparation of these samples, 
which is not used as an analytical sample, is regulated as the PCB 
concentration in the component having the highest PCB concentration of 
the component materials in the sample.



Sec. 761.326   Conducting the comparison study.

    Extract or analyze the comparison study samples using the 
alternative method. For an alternative extraction method or alternative 
analytical method to be comparable to the methods required in 
Sec. 761.292, all of the following conditions must be met.
    (a) All samples having PCB concentrations greater than or equal to 
the level of concern, as measured by the methods required in 
Sec. 761.292, are found to be greater than or equal to the level of 
concern as measured by the alternative method (no false negatives).
    (b) Only one sample which contains PCBs at a level less than the 
level of concern, as measured by the methods required in Sec. 761.292, 
is found to have a PCB concentration greater than the level of concern 
as measured by the alternative method (false positive); and all other 
samples which contain PCBs at levels less than the level of concern, as 
measured by the methods required in Sec. 761.292, are found by the 
alternative method to have PCBs less than the level of concern (there 
are no additional false positives).

    Purposes of Characterization for PCB Disposal in Accordance With 

 Sec. 761.62, and Sampling PCB Remediation Waste Destined for Off-Site 
                Disposal, in Accordance With Sec. 761.61

    Source:  63 FR 35469, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35469, June 29, 1998, subpart R was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.340   Applicability.

    Use the procedures specified in this subpart to sample the following 
types

[[Page 629]]

of waste when it is necessary to analyze the waste to determine PCB 
concentration or leaching characteristics for storage or disposal.
    (a) Existing accumulations of non-liquid, non-metal PCB bulk product 
waste.
    (b) Non-liquid, non-metal PCB bulk product waste from processes that 
continuously generate new waste.
    (c) Non-liquid PCB remediation waste from processes that 
continuously generate new waste, that will be sent off-site for 
disposal.



Sec. 761.345   Form of the waste to be sampled.

    PCB bulk product waste and PCB remediation waste destined for off-
site disposal must be in the form of either flattened or roughly conical 
piles. This subpart also contains a procedure for contemporaneous 
sampling of waste as it is being generated.



Sec. 761.346   Three levels of sampling.

    To select a sample of the waste and prepare it for chemical 
extraction and analysis, there are three required levels of random 
sampling.
    (a) First, select a single 19-liter (5 gallon) portion from a 
composite accumulated either contemporaneously with the generation of 
the waste or by sampling an existing pile of waste. Collection 
procedures for the first level of sampling from existing piles of waste 
are in Sec. 761.347. Collection procedures for the first level of 
sampling from a contemporaneous generation of waste are in Sec. 761.348. 
Compositing requirements and requirements for the subsampling of 
composite samples to result in a single 19-liter sample are in 
Sec. 761.350. Send the 19-liter sample to the laboratory for the second 
and third levels of sampling, including particle size reduction for 
leach testing and drying as required by Sec. 761.1(b)(4).
    (b) Second, at the laboratory, select one quarter of the 19-liter 
sample. Procedures the laboratory must use for this second level of 
sample selection appear in Sec. 761.353.
    (c) Third, select a 100 gram subsample from the second level 
subsample. Procedures the laboratory must use for this third level of 
sample selection appear in Sec. 761.355.



Sec. 761.347   First level sampling--waste from existing piles.

    (a) General. Sample piles that are either specifically configured 
for sampling (see paragraph (b) of this section) or that are of conical 
shape (see paragraph (c) of this section). If sampling from either of 
these shapes is not possible, conduct contemporaneous sampling, in 
accordance with the procedures in Sec. 761.348, or obtain the approval 
of the Regional Administrator for an alternate sampling plan in 
accordance with Sec. 761.62(c).
    (b) Specifically configured piles. A specifically configured pile is 
a single flattened pile in the shape of a square or rectangle having no 
restrictions on length or width but restricted to 30 cm (1 foot) in 
depth. A square shaped pile facilitates sampling site selection for the 
first level sample. Select eight 19-liter samples from the pile and 
composite them into one 19-liter sample as follows:
    (1) Divide the pile into quarters.
    (2) Divide each of the quarter sections into quarters (i.e., into 
sixteenths of the original pile).
    (3) Select two sixteenths from each of the four quarters, according 
to one of the two following options:
    (i) Randomly select the two sixteenths from one quarter and sample 
the sixteenths occupying the same positions in each of the other three 
quarters.
    (ii) Randomly select two sixteenths from each of the four quarters 
(i.e., perform a random selection four different times).
    (4) At this point the eight selected sixteenths undergo further 
division and sample selection. Divide each of the eight selected 
sixteenths into four equal parts. Using a random number generator or 
random number table, select one of the four equal parts from each of the 
eight equal areas. If each of the four equal parts has a volume >76 
liters when projected downwards 30 cm, continue to divide each selected 
area into four equal parts, and select one of the parts, until each 
selected area has a volume of <76 liters but 19 liters. When 
projected to a depth of 30 cm, a square having a 25 cm side or a circle 
having a diameter of approximately

[[Page 630]]

28.5 cm equals a volume of approximately 19 liters. The volume of 76 
liters is equal to the volume enclosed by a square having a side of 50 
cm (or other shape having an area of 250 cm2) projected to a 
depth of 30 cm.
    (5) Take one sample of approximately 19 unsorted liters of waste 
from each of the eight selected areas. Place each sample into a separate 
19-liter container, allowing only sufficient space at the top of the 
container to secure the lid.
    (6) Composite the eight 19-liter samples in accordance with 
Sec. 761.350.
    (c) Conical-shaped piles. If it is necessary to sample a pile which 
is too large to be spread on the site to a uniform thickness of 1 foot 
or 30 cm, or if there are too many piles to spread out in the space 
available, use the following procedure to sample the piles. This 
procedure assumes that the shape of the piles is analogous to a cone; 
that is, having a circular base with PCB bulk product waste or PCB 
remediation waste destined for off-site disposal stacked up uniformly to 
a peak that is a point centered above the center of the circular base. 
Collect eight 19-liter samples as follows:
    (1) Collecting samples from more than one pile. If the PCB bulk 
product waste or PCB remediation waste consists of more than one pile or 
container, assign each pile or container an integer number and then 
generate seven random integer numbers to select the piles from which you 
will collect samples. It is possible that this random selection 
procedure will result in selecting the same pile number more than once, 
even if seven or more piles are present. If so, sample the pile once and 
restart the sampling collection process to collect additional samples. 
Do not collect multiple samples from the same location in the pile.
    (2) Collecting samples from a single pile. If only one pile or 
container is present, collect all eight samples from the same pile.
    (3) Setting up the sample site selection system from a pile. Locate 
a sample in a pile by the use of three parameters: a particular radial 
direction, ``r,'' from the peak at the center of the pile to the outer 
edge at the base of the pile; a point, ``s,'' along that radial 
direction between the peak of the pile and the outer edge of the base of 
the pile; and a depth, ``t'', beneath point ``s.'' The top of the sample 
material will be below depth t, at point s, on radius r. Use a rod, 
dowel, stake, or broom handle as a marker. Nail or otherwise fasten to 
the top of the marker two pieces of string or cord of sufficient length 
and strength to reach from the top of the marker at the top of the pile 
to the farthest peripheral edge at the bottom of the pile, when the 
marker is positioned at the top or apex of the pile. Pound or push the 
marker into the top center (apex) of the pile, downward toward the 
center of the base. Insert the marker for at least 30 cm or one foot 
until the marker is rigidly standing on its own, even when the cord is 
pulled tight to the bottom peripheral edge of the pile. Ensure that the 
marker protrudes from the top of the pile sufficiently to allow the 
strings to move easily around the pile when they are pulled tight. 
Select the three parameters and the sampling location as follows:
    (i) Determine the radial component (r) of the location for each 
sample.
    (A) Tie to a stake or otherwise fasten one of the strings at ``b,'' 
the bottom of the pile, as a reference point for finding r.
    (B) Measure the circumference ``c,'' the distance around the bottom 
of the pile. Determine r from b in one of two ways:
    (1) Multiply c by a randomly generated fraction or percentage of 
one.
    (2) Select a random number between one and the total number of 
centimeters in c.
    (C) Locate r by starting at b, the place where the fixed string 
meets the base of the pile, and travel clockwise around the edge of the 
pile at the base for the distance you selected in paragraph (c)(3)(iii) 
of this section.
    (D) Fasten the second string at the selected distance. The second 
string marks the first parameter r.
    (ii) Determine the second parameter s of the location for each 
sample.
    (A) Measure the distance, l, along the string, positioned in 
paragraph (c)(3)(i)(D) of this section, from the top

[[Page 631]]

to the bottom of the pile at the selected radial distance r. Determine 
the distance s from l in one of two ways:
    (1) Multiply l by a randomly generated fraction or percentage of 
one.
    (2) Select a random number between one and the total number of 
centimeters in l.
    (B) Mark, for example by placing a piece of tape on the string 
positioned according to paragraph (c)(3)(i)(D) of this section, the 
distance s, up from the bottom of the pile on the string at r.
    (iii) Determine the third and final parameter t of the location for 
each sample.
    (A) Mark and number 1 cm intervals from one end of a rigid device, 
for example a rod, dowel, stake, or broom handle, for measuring the 
distance from the top of the pile to the bottom at the point s selected 
in paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(B) of this section. The marked and numbered 
device shall be of sufficient strength to be forced down through the 
maximum depth of the pile and sufficient length to measure the depth of 
the waste in the pile at any point.
    (B) Take the measuring device, constructed according to paragraph 
(c)(3)(iii)(A) of this section, and at position s, push the end of the 
device marked with zero straight down into the pile until it reaches the 
bottom of the pile or ground level. The vertical distance ``v'' is the 
number of centimeters from the surface of the pile at point s on the 
string to the bottom of the pile or ground level. Read the distance v on 
the measuring device at the surface of the pile. From the distance v, 
determine t, in one of two ways:
    (1) Randomly generate a fraction of one and multiply the fraction 
times v.
    (2) Select a random number between zero and the total number of 
centimeters of the vertical distance v.
    (iv) Dig a hole straight down into the pile for t centimeters 
(inches) from the surface of the pile at s.
    (v) At depth t, directly under the s mark on the string, outline the 
top of the sample container and collect (shovel) all waste under the 
outline in the following order of preference in paragraphs (c)(3)(v)(A) 
through (c)(3)(v)(C) of this section. It is possible that some of the 
eight sampling locations will not provide 19 liters of sample.
    (A) For a depth of 30 cm.
    (B) Until the container is full.
    (C) Until the ground level is reached.
    (d) Compositing the samples. Composite the eight 19-liter samples 
and subsample in accordance with Sec. 761.350. Send the subsample to a 
laboratory for further sampling as described in Secs. 761.353 and 
761.355 and for chemical extraction and analysis. If there is 
insufficient sample for a 19-liter sample from the composite sample 
composed of the eight iterations of sample site selection, according to 
the procedures in paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(v) of this 
section, select additional sample sites, collect additional samples and 
composite the additional waste in the samples until a minimum of 19 
liters is in the composite.



Sec. 761.348   Contemporaneous sampling.

    Contemporaneous sampling is possible when there is active generation 
of waste and it is possible to sample the waste stream as it is 
generated. Collect eight 19-liter samples as follows.
    (a) Collect each sample by filling a 19-liter (5 gallon) container 
at a location where the PCB bulk product waste is released from the 
waste generator onto a pile or into a receptacle container before the 
waste reaches the pile or receptacle container.
    (b) Determine a sample collection start time using a random number 
generator or a random number table to select a number between 1 and 60. 
Collect the first sample at the randomly selected time in minutes after 
start up of the waste output, or if the waste is currently being 
generated, after the random time is selected. For example, if the 
randomly selected time is 35, begin collection 35 minutes after the 
start up of waste generation. Similarly, if waste output is ongoing and 
the random start determination occurred at 8:35 a.m., collect the first 
sample at 9:10 a.m. (35 minutes after the random start determination).
    (c) Collect seven more samples, one every 60 minutes after the 
initial sample is collected. If the waste output process stops, stop the 
60-minute interval time clock. When the process restarts, restart the 
60-minute interval

[[Page 632]]

time clock and complete the incomplete 60-minute interval.
    (d) Composite the eight 19-liter samples and subsample in accordance 
with Sec. 761.350.



Sec. 761.350   Subsampling from composite samples.

    (a) Preparing the composite. Composite the samples (eight from a 
flattened pile; eight or more from a conical pile; eight from waste that 
is continuously generated) and select a 19-liter subsample for shipment 
to the chemical extraction and analysis laboratory for further 
subsampling. There are two options for the preparation of the composite:
    (1) Option one. Place all of the contents of all 19-liter samples 
that you collected into a 209 liter (55 gallon) drum or similar sized, 
cylinder-shaped container. Completely close the container, and roll it 
10 or more complete revolutions to mix the contents.
    (2) Option two. Add the 19-liter samples one at a time to a 209 
liter (55 gallon) drum. Between the addition of each 19-liter sample, 
stir the composite using a broom handle or similar long, narrow, sturdy 
rod that reaches the bottom of the container. Stir the mixture for a 
minimum of 10 complete revolutions of the stirring instrument around the 
container at a distance approximately half way between the outside and 
center of the container.
    (b) Selecting a 19-liter subsample from the composite. Once the 
composite is mixed, pour the mixture of waste out on a plastic sheet and 
either divide it into 19-liter size piles or make one large pile.
    (1) From 19-liter sized piles, use a random number generator or 
random number table to select one of the piles.
    (2) From one large pile, flatten the pile to a depth of 30 cm and 
divide it into 4 quarters of equal size. Use a random number generator 
or random number table to select one quarter of the pile. Further divide 
the selected quarter pile into 19-liter portions and use a random number 
generator or random number table to select one 19-liter portion. A 
square having a 25 cm side or a circle having a diameter of 
approximately 28.5 cm when projected downwards 30 cm equals 
approximately 19 liters.
    (c) Transferring the sample to the analytical laboratory. Place the 
selected 19-liter subsample in a container, approved for shipment of the 
sample, to the chemical extraction and analysis laboratory, for the next 
step in sample selection in accordance with Sec. 761.353.



Sec. 761.353   Second level of sample selection.

    The second level of sample selection reduces the size of the 19-
liter subsample that was collected according to either Sec. 761.347 or 
Sec. 761.348 and subsampled according to Sec. 761.350. The purpose of 
the sample size reduction is to limit the amount of time required to 
manually cut up larger particles of the waste to pass through a 9.5 
millimeter (mm) screen.
    (a) Selecting a portion of the subsample for particle size 
reduction. At the chemical extraction and analysis laboratory, pour the 
19-liter subsample onto a plastic sheet or into a pan and divide the 
subsample into quarters. Use a random number generator or random number 
table to select one of these quarters.
    (b) Reduction of the particle size by the use of a 9.5 mm screen. 
Collect the contents of the selected quarter of waste resulting from 
conducting the procedures in paragraph (a) of this section and shake the 
waste in a 9.5 mm screen. Separate the waste material which passes 
through the screen from the waste material which does not pass through 
the screen. Manually cut or otherwise reduce the size of all parts of 
the waste portion which did not pass through the 9.5 mm screen, such 
that each part of the waste shall pass through the 9.5 mm screen by 
shaking.
    (c) Drying the reduced particle size waste. Dry all of the waste 
portion resulting from conducting the procedures in paragraph (b) of 
this section, from 10 to 15 hours in a drying oven at 100  deg.C. Allow 
the dried waste to cool to room temperature.
    (d) Mixing the dried waste. Place all of the waste resulting from 
conducting the procedures in paragraph (c) of this section in a 19-liter 
pail or similarly sized, cylinder-shaped container. Mix the dried 
material according to one of the two following options:

[[Page 633]]

    (1) First mixing option. Completely close the container and roll the 
container a minimum of 10 complete revolutions to mix the contents.
    (2) Second mixing option. Use a sturdy stirring rod, such as a broom 
handle or other device that reaches the bottom of the container, to stir 
the waste for a minimum of 10 complete revolutions around the container 
at a distance approximately half way between the outside and the center 
of the container.



Sec. 761.355   Third level of sample selection.

    The third level of sample selection further reduces the size of the 
subsample to 100 grams which is suitable for the chemical extraction and 
analysis procedure.
    (a) Divide the subsample resulting from conducting the procedures in 
Sec. 761.353 of this part into 100 gram portions.
    (b) Use a random number generator or random number table to select 
one 100 gram size portion as a sample for a procedure used to simulate 
leachate generation.
    (c) Dry the 100 gram sample, selected after conducting the procedure 
in paragraph (b) of this section, for 10 to 15 hours in a drying oven at 
100  deg.C and cool it to the analytical laboratory room temperature 
before analysis using a procedure used to simulate leachate generation. 
This sample was dried previously in the larger quantity sample at the 
second level of sampling (Sec. 761.353(c)) and is dried a second time 
here (in the third level of sample selection). This dried and cooled 
sample must weigh at least 50 grams.
    (d) If the dried and cooled sample weighs <50 grams, select 
additional 100 gram portions of sample one at a time by repeating the 
directions in paragraph (b) and (c) of this section, and add each 
additional 100 gram portion of sample to the first 100 gram portion 
until at least 50 grams of dried material is in the sample to be 
analyzed using a procedure used to simulate leachate generation.



Sec. 761.356   Conducting a leach test.

    No method is specified as a procedure used to simulate leachate 
generation.



Sec. 761.357   Reporting the results of the procedure used to simulate leachate generation.

    Report the results of the procedure used to simulate leachate 
generation as micrograms PCBs per liter of extract from a 100 gram 
sample of dry bulk product waste. Divide 100 grams by the grams in the 
sample and multiply this quotient by the number of micrograms PCBs per 
liter of extract to obtain the equivalent measurement from a 100 gram 
sample.



Sec. 761.358   Determining the PCB concentration of samples of waste.

    Use either Method 3500B/3540C or Method 3500B/3550B from EPA's SW-
846, Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, or a method validated 
under subpart Q of this part, for chemical extraction of PCBs from 
individual and composite samples of PCB bulk product waste. Use Method 
8082 from SW-846, or a method validated under subpart Q of this part, to 
analyze these extracts for PCBs.



Sec. 761.359  Reporting the PCB concentrations in samples.

    Report all sample concentrations as ppm by weight on a dry weight 
basis.



   Subpart S--Double Wash/Rinse Method for Decontaminating Non-Porous 
                                Surfaces

    Source:  63 FR 35472, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35472, June 29, 1998, subpart S was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.360   Background.

    The double wash/rinse procedure is used to quickly and effectively 
remove PCBs on surfaces. It is important to select and use the proper 
cleanup equipment, to conduct the procedure correctly so as not to 
redistribute PCBs, and to comply with disposal requirements for all 
cleanup materials.



Sec. 761.363   Applicability.

    The double wash/rinse procedure includes two washing steps and two 
rinsing steps. The two washing and rinsing steps are slightly different 
depending

[[Page 634]]

on whether a contaminated surface was relatively clean before the spill 
(see Sec. 761.372), or whether the surface was coated or covered with 
dust, dirt, grime, grease or another absorbent material (see 
Sec. 761.375).



Sec. 761.366   Cleanup equipment.

    (a) Use scrubbers and absorbent pads that are not dissolved by the 
solvents or cleaners used, and that do not shred, crumble, or leave 
visible fragments on the surface. Scrubbers and absorbent pads used to 
wash contaminated surfaces must not be reused. Scrubbers and absorbent 
pads for rinsing must not contain 2 ppm PCBs. Scrubbers and 
absorbent pads used in the second rinse of contaminated surfaces may be 
reused to wash contaminated surfaces.
    (b) Capture and contain all solvents and cleaners for reuse, 
decontamination, or disposal. Clean organic solvents contain <2 ppm 
PCBs. Clean water contains <3 ppb PCBs.



Sec. 761.369   Pre-cleaning the surface.

    If visible PCB-containing liquid is present on the surface to be 
cleaned, thoroughly wipe or mop the entire surface with absorbent paper 
or cloth until no liquid is visible on the surface.



Sec. 761.372   Specific requirements for relatively clean surfaces.

    For surfaces that do not appear dusty or grimy before a spill, such 
as glass, automobile surfaces, newly-poured concrete, and desk tops, use 
the double wash/rinse procedures in this section.
    (a) First wash. Cover the entire surface with organic solvent in 
which PCBs are soluble to at least 5 percent by weight. Contain and 
collect any runoff solvent for disposal. Scrub rough surfaces with a 
scrub brush or disposable scrubbing pad and solvent such that each 900 
cm2 (1 square foot) of the surface is always very wet for 1 
minute. Wipe smooth surfaces with a solvent-soaked, disposable absorbent 
pad such that each 900 cm2 (1 square foot) is wiped for 1 
minute. Any surface <1 square foot shall also be wiped for 1 minute. 
Wipe, mop, and/or sorb the solvent onto absorbent material until no 
visible traces of the solvent remain.
    (b) First rinse. Wet the surface with clean rinse solvent such that 
the entire surfaces is very wet for 1 minute. Drain and contain the 
solvent from the surface. Wipe the residual solvent off the drained 
surface using a clean, disposable absorbent pad until no liquid is 
visible on the surface.
    (c) Second wash. Repeat the procedures in paragraph (a) of this 
section. The rinse solvent from the first rinse (paragraph (b) of this 
section) may be used.
    (d) Second rinse. Repeat the procedures in paragraph (b) of this 
section.



Sec. 761.375   Specific requirements for surfaces coated or covered with dust, dirt, grime, grease, or another absorbent material.

    (a) First wash. Cover the entire surface with concentrated or 
industrial strength detergent or non-ionic surfactant solution. Contain 
and collect all cleaning solutions for proper disposal. Scrub rough 
surfaces with a scrub brush or scrubbing pad, adding cleaning solution 
such that the surface is always very wet, such that each 900 
cm2 (1 square foot) is washed for 1 minute. Wipe smooth 
surfaces with a cleaning solution-soaked disposable absorbent pad such 
that each 900 cm2 (1 square foot) is wiped for 1 minute. Wash 
any surface <1 square foot for 1 minute. Mop up or absorb the residual 
cleaner solution and suds with an clean, disposable, absorbent pad until 
the surface appears dry. This cleaning should remove any residual dirt, 
dust, grime, or other absorbent materials left on the surface during the 
first wash.
    (b) First rinse. Rinse off the wash solution with 1 gallon of clean 
water per square foot and capture the rinse water. Mop up the wet 
surface with a clean, disposable, absorbent pad until the surface 
appears dry.
    (c) Second wash. Follow the procedure in Sec. 761.372(a).
    (d) Second rinse. Follow the procedure in Sec. 761.372(b).



Sec. 761.378   Decontamination, reuse, and disposal of solvents, cleaners, and equipment.

    (a) Decontamination. Decontaminate solvents and non-porous surfaces 
on equipment in accordance with the standards and procedures in 
Sec. 761.79(b) and (c).

[[Page 635]]

    (b) Reuse. A solvent may be reused so long as its PCB concentration 
is <50 ppm. Decontaminated equipment may be reused in accordance with 
Sec. 761.30(u). Store solvents and equipment for reuse in accordance 
with Sec. 761.35.
    (c) Disposal. Dispose of all solvents, cleaners, and absorbent 
materials in accordance with Sec. 761.79(g). Dispose of equipment in 
accordance with Sec. 761.61(a)(5)(v)(A), or decontaminate in accordance 
with Sec. 761.79(b) or (c). Store for disposal equipment, solvents, 
cleaners, and absorbent materials in accordance with Sec. 761.65.



   Subpart T--Comparison Study for Validating a New Performance-Based 
             Decontamination Solvent Under Sec. 761.79(d)(4)

    Source:  63 FR 35473, June 29, 1998, unless otherwise noted.

    Effective Date Note:  At 63 FR 35473, June 29, 1998, subpart T was 
added, effective Aug. 28, 1998.



Sec. 761.380   Background.

    This subpart provides self-implementing criteria for validating the 
conditions for use in performance-based decontamination of solvents 
other than those listed in Sec. 761.79(c)(3) and (c)(4). Any person may 
use this subpart for validating either a chemical formulation or a 
product with a trade name whether or not the constituents of the product 
are proprietary.



Sec. 761.383   Applicability.

    Use the self-implementing decontamination procedure only on smooth, 
non-porous surfaces that were once in contact with liquid PCBs. 
Decontamination procedures under this subpart shall exactly parallel 
Sec. 761.79(c)(3) and (c)(4), except that the procedures described in 
Sec. 761.79(c)(3)(iii) and (c)(3)(iv) and (c)(4)(iii), (c)(4)(iv) and 
(c)(4)(vii) may be revised to contain parameters validated in accordance 
with this subpart.



Sec. 761.386   Required experimental conditions for the validation study and subsequent use during decontamination.

    The following experimental conditions apply for any solvent:
    (a) Temperature and pressure. Conduct the validation study and 
perform decontamination at room temperature (from 15  deg.C 
to 30  deg.C) and at atmospheric pressure.
    (b) Agitation. Limit the movement in the solvent to the short-term 
movement from placing the contaminated surface into the soak solvent and 
from removing the surface from the soak solvent.
    (c) Time of soak. Soak the surface for a minimum of 1 hour.
    (d) Surface conditions for the validation study. Prior to beginning 
the validation study, ensure that there are no free-flowing liquids on 
surfaces and that surfaces are dry (i.e., there are no liquids visible 
without magnification). Also ensure that surfaces are virtually free 
from non-liquid residues, corrosion, and other defects which would 
prevent the solvent from freely circulating over the surface.
    (e) Confirmatory sampling for the validation study. Select surface 
sample locations using representative sampling or a census. Sample a 
minimum area of 100 cm2 on each individual surface in the 
validation study. Measure surface concentrations using the standard wipe 
test, as defined in Sec. 761.123, from which a standard wipe sample is 
generated for chemical analysis. Guidance for wipe sampling appears in 
the document entitled ``Wipe Sampling and Double Wash/Rinse Cleanup as 
Recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency PCB Spill Cleanup 
Policy,'' available from the TSCA Assistance Information Service, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
    (f) Concentration of PCBs. The method validated may be used only to 
decontaminate surfaces containing PCBs at concentrations on which the 
validation study was performed and lower concentrations.

[[Page 636]]



Sec. 761.389   Testing parameter requirements.

    There are no restrictions on the variable testing parameters 
described in this section which may be used in the validation study. The 
conditions demonstrated in the validation study for these variables 
shall become the required conditions for decontamination using the 
solvent being validated and shall replace the comparable conditions in 
Sec. 761.79(b)(3) through (b)(6). There are limited potential options 
for varying a single requirement in this section. If you change one of 
these variable requirements, change it only in the way listed in this 
section and do not change any other validated conditions. If you desire 
to change more than one of the requirements in this section, you must 
conduct a new study to validate the decontamination under the desired 
conditions.
    (a) The study apparatus is not standardized. Critical components of 
the study are the PCB material (for example MODEF or some other spiking 
solution), the volume of the soaking solvent, and the area of the 
contaminated surface. The EPA study used beakers and shallow dishes as 
the experimental vessels to contain the surface and solvent during the 
soaking process. In order to minimize surface-to-volume ratios, it is 
convenient to utilize flat contaminated surfaces and shallow solvent 
containers. During the validation study, use the same ratio of 
contaminated surface area to soak solvent volume as would be used during 
actual decontamination. It is also permissible to use a smaller surface 
area to soaking solvent volume than used in the validation study, so 
long as all other required parameters are used as validated in the 
confirmation required in Sec. 761.386 (a) through (f), and paragraphs 
(a) through (c) of this section. Do not use a larger surface-area-to-
solvent-volumes ratio or different kind of solvent based on the results 
of the validation study.
    (b) Except for the minimum soak time of 1 hour (as required in 
Sec. 761.386(c)), the length of soak time is not otherwise restricted in 
the validation study. The soak time used in the validation study, 
however, is a use requirement for subsequent decontamination using the 
solvent being validated. It is permissible to use longer soak times for 
decontamination than the soak time used in the validation study, if all 
other parameters required in Sec. 761.386, and paragraphs (a) and (c) of 
this section are used.
    (c) There is no restriction on the kind of material containing PCBs 
to use to create the surface contamination for the validation study. 
There is also no restriction on the level of starting PCB surface 
concentration. It is permissible to use lower concentrations of PCB than 
the concentration used in the validation study, if all other parameters 
required in Sec. 761.386 (a) through (f), and paragraphs (a) through (c) 
of this section are used.



Sec. 761.392   Preparing validation study samples.

    (a)(1) To validate a procedure to decontaminate a surface 
contaminated with a spill from liquid of a known concentration, 
contaminate (spike) the surface to be used in the validation study as 
follows:
    (i) Use a spiking solution made of PCBs mixed with a solvent to 
contaminate clean surfaces. Clean surfaces are surfaces having PCB 
surface concentrations <1 g/100 cm2 before 
intentionally contaminating the surface.
    (ii) Prior to contaminating a surface for the validation study, mark 
the surface sampling area to assure that it is completely covered with 
the spiking solution.
    (iii) Deliver the spiking solution onto the surface, covering all of 
the sampling area. Contain any liquids which spill or flow off the 
surface. Allow the spiking solution to drip drain off into a container 
and then evaporate the spiking solution off the contaminated surface 
prior to beginning the validation study. Contaminate a minimum of eight 
surfaces for a complete validation study.
    (iv) As a quality control step, test at least one contaminated 
surface to determine the PCB concentration to verify that there are 
measurable surface levels of PCBs resulting from the contamination 
before soaking the surface in the decontamination solvent. The surface 
levels of PCBs on the contaminated surfaces must be 20 
g/100 cm2.

[[Page 637]]

    (2) To validate a procedure to decontaminate a specified surface 
concentrations of PCBs as measured by a standard wipe sample, 
contaminate a minimum of 10 surfaces. Contaminate all the surfaces 
identically following the procedures in paragraph (a)(1) of this section 
and measure the PCB surface concentrations of at least three of the 
surfaces using a standard wipe test to establish a surface concentration 
to be included in the standard operating procedure. The surface levels 
of PCBs on the contaminated surfaces must be 20 g/
100 cm2.
    (b) [Reserved]



Sec. 761.395   A validation study.

    (a) Decontaminate the following prepared sample surfaces using the 
selected testing parameters and experimental conditions. Take a standard 
wipe sample of the decontaminated surface.
    (1) At least one uncontaminated surface. The surface levels of PCBs 
on the uncontaminated surface must be <1 g/100 cm2.
    (2) At least seven contaminated surfaces.
    (b)(1) Use SW-846, Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste methods 
for sample extraction and chemical analysis as follows: Use Method 
3500B/3540C or Method 3500B/3550B for the extraction and cleanup of the 
extract and Method 8082 for the chemical analysis, or methods validated 
under subpart Q of this part.
    (2) Report all validation study surface sample concentrations on the 
basis of micrograms of PCBs per 100 cm2 of surface sampled.
    (c) Following completion of the validation study, measurements from 
the contaminated surfaces must have an arithmetic mean of 10 
g/100 cm2. If the arithmetic mean is >10 g/
100 cm2, then the validation study failed and the solvent may 
not be used for decontamination under Sec. 761.79(d)(4) according to the 
parameters tested.



Sec. 761.398   Reporting and recordkeeping.

    (a) Submit validation study results to the Director, National 
Program Chemicals Division (NPCD), (7404), Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC, prior to the 
first use of a new solvent for alternate decontamination under 
Sec. 761.79(d)(4). The use of a new solvent is not TSCA Confidential 
Business Information (CBI). From time to time, the Director of NPCD will 
confirm the use of validated new decontamination solvents and publish 
the new solvents and validated decontamination procedures in the Federal 
Register.
    (b) Any person may begin to use solvent validated in accordance with 
this subpart at the time results are submitted to EPA.
    (c) Record all testing parameters and experimental conditions from 
the successful validation study into a standard operating procedure 
(SOP) for reference whenever the decontamination procedure is used. 
Include in the SOP the identity of the soaking solvent, the length of 
time of the soak, and the ratio of the soak solvent to contaminated 
surface area during the soaking process. Also include in the SOP the 
maximum concentration of PCBs in the spilled material and the identity 
of the spilled material, and/or the measured maximum surface 
concentration of the contaminated surface used in the validation study. 
Record and keep the results of the validation study as an appendix to 
the SOP. Include in this appendix, the solvent used to make the spiking 
solution, the PCB concentration of the spiking solution used to 
contaminate the surfaces in the validation study, and all of the 
validation study testing parameters and experimental conditions.

    Source: 52 FR 41846, Oct. 30, 1987, unless otherwise noted.



Sec. 763.80  Scope and purpose.

    (a) This rule requires local education agencies to identify friable 
and nonfriable asbestos-containing material (ACM) in public and private 
elementary and secondary schools by visually inspecting school buildings 
for such materials, sampling such materials if they are not assumed to 
be ACM, and having samples analyzed by appropriate techniques referred 
to in this rule. The rule requires local education agencies to submit 
management plans to the Governor of their State by October 12, 1988, 
begin to implement the plans by July 9, 1989, and complete 
implementation of the plans in a timely fashion. In addition, local 
education agencies are required to use persons who have been accredited 
to conduct inspections, reinspections, develop management plans, or 
perform response actions. The rule also includes recordkeeping 
requirements. Local education agencies may contractually delegate their 
duties under this rule, but they remain responsible for the proper 
performance of those duties. Local education agencies are encouraged to 
consult with EPA Regional Asbestos Coordinators, or if applicable, a 
State's lead agency designated by the State Governor, for assistance in 
complying with this rule.
    (b) Local education agencies must provide for the transportation and 
disposal of asbestos in accordance with EPA's ``Asbestos Waste 
Management Guidance.'' For convenience, applicable sections of this 
guidance are reprinted as Appendix D of this subpart. There are 
regulations in place, however, that affect transportation and disposal 
of asbestos waste generated by this rule. The transportation of asbestos 
waste is covered by the Department of Transportation (49 CFR part 173, 
subpart J) and disposal is covered by the National

[[Page 639]]

Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR part 
61, subpart M).

result in the release of asbestos fibers.
    Asbestos means the asbestiform varieties of: Chrysotile 
(serpentine); crocidolite (riebeckite); amosite (cum- 
mingtonitegrunerite); anthophyllite; tremolite; and actinolite.
    Asbestos-containing material (ACM) when referring to school 
buildings means any material or product which contains more than 1 
percent asbestos.
    Asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) means surfacing ACM, 
thermal system insulation ACM, or miscellaneous ACM that is found in or 
on interior structural members or other parts of a school building.

by an accredited inspector to be ACM.
    Damaged friable miscellaneous ACM means friable miscellaneous ACM 
which has deteriorated or sustained physical injury such that the 
internal structure (cohesion) of the material is inadequate or, if 
applicable, which has delaminated such that its bond to the substrate 
(adhesion) is inadequate or which for any other reason lacks fiber 
cohesion or adhesion qualities. Such damage or deterioration may be 
illustrated by the separation of ACM into layers; separation of ACM from 
the substrate; flaking, blistering, or crumbling of the ACM surface; 
water damage; significant or repeated water stains, scrapes, gouges, 
mars or other signs of physical injury on the ACM. Asbestos debris 
originating from the ACBM in question may also indicate damage.
    Damaged friable surfacing ACM means friable surfacing ACM which has 
deteriorated or sustained physical injury such that the internal 
structure (cohesion) of the material is inadequate or which has 
delaminated such that its bond to the substrate (adhesion) is 
inadequate, or which, for any other reason, lacks fiber cohesion or 
adhesion qualities. Such damage or deterioration may be illustrated by 
the separation of ACM into layers; separation of ACM from the substrate; 
flaking, blistering, or crumbling of the ACM surface; water damage; 
significant or repeated water stains, scrapes, gouges, mars or other 
signs of physical injury on the ACM. Asbestos debris originating from 
the ACBM in question may also indicate damage.

not able to contain fibers. Damage may be further illustrated by 
occasional punctures, gouges or other signs of physical injury to ACM; 
occasional water damage on the protective coverings/jackets; or exposed 
ACM ends or joints. Asbestos debris originating from the ACBM in 
question may also indicate damage.
    Encapsulation means the treatment of ACBM with a material that 
surrounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent the 
release of fibers, as the encapsulant creates a membrane over the 
surface (bridging encapsulant) or penetrates the material and binds its 
components together (penetrating encapsulant).
    Enclosure means an airtight, impermeable, permanent barrier around 
ACBM to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.
    Fiber release episode means any uncontrolled or unintentional

follows:
    (1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each 
homogeneous area that is 1,000 ft\2\ or less, except as provided in 
Sec. 763.87(c)(2).
    (2) At least five bulk samples shall be collected from each 
homogeneous area that is greater than 1,000 ft\2\ but less than or equal 
to 5,000 ft\2\, except as provided in Sec. 763.87(c)(2).
    (3) At least seven bulk samples shall be collected from each 
homogeneous area that is greater than 5,000 ft\2\, except as provided in 
Sec. 763.87(c)(2).
    (b) Thermal system insulation. (1) Except as provided in paragraphs 
(b) (2) through (4) of this section and Sec. 763.87(c), an accredited 
inspector shall collect, in a randomly distributed manner, at least 
three bulk samples from each homogeneous area of thermal system

whether material is ACM or not ACM, an accredited inspector shall 
collect bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable miscellaneous 
material that is not assumed to be ACM.
    (d) Nonfriable suspected ACBM. If any homogeneous area of nonfriable 
suspected ACBM is not assumed to be ACM, then an accredited inspector 
shall collect, in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material 
is ACM or not ACM, bulk samples from the homogeneous area of nonfriable 
suspected ACBM that is not assumed to be ACM.



Sec. 763.87  Analysis.

    (a) Local education agencies shall have bulk samples, collected 
under Sec. 763.86 and submitted for analysis, analyzed for asbestos 
using laboratories accredited by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). 
Local education agencies shall use laboratories which have received 
interim accreditation for polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis 
under the EPA Interim Asbestos Bulk Sample Analysis Quality Assurance 
Program until the NBS PLM laboratory accreditation program for PLM is 
operational.
    (b) Bulk samples shall not be composited for analysis and shall be 
analyzed for asbestos content by PLM, using the ``Interim Method for the 
Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples'' found at appendix 
E to subpart E of this part.
    (c)(1) A homogeneous area is considered not to contain ACM only if 
the results of all samples required to be collected from the area show 
asbestos in amounts of 1 percent or less.
    (2) A homogeneous area shall be determined to contain ACM based on a 
finding that the results of at least one sample collected from that area 
shows that asbestos is present in an amount greater than 1 percent.
    (d) The name and address of each laboratory performing an analysis, 
the date of analysis, and the name and signature of the person 
performing the analysis shall be submitted to the person designated 
under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion into the management plan within 30 days 
of the analysis.

Sec. 763.88  Assessment.

    (a)(1) For each inspection and reinspection conducted under 
Sec. 763.85 (a) and (c) and previous inspections specified under 
Sec. 763.99, the local education agency shall have an accredited 
inspector provide a written assessment of all friable known or assumed 
ACBM in the school building.
    (2) Each accredited inspector providing a written assessment shall 
sign and date the assessment, provide his or her State of accreditation, 
and if applicable, accreditation number, and submit a copy of the 
assessment to the person designated under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion in 
the management plan within 30 days of the assessment.
    (b) The inspector shall classify and give reasons in the written 
assessment for classifying the ACBM and suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM 
in the school building into one of the following categories:
    (1) Damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM.
    (2) Damaged friable surfacing ACM.
    (3) Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM.
    (4) Damaged or significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACM.
    (5) ACBM with potential for damage.
    (6) ACBM with potential for significant damage.
    (7) Any remaining friable ACBM or friable suspected ACBM.
    (c) Assessment may include the following considerations:
    (1) Location and the amount of the material, both in total quantity 
and as a percentage of the functional space.
    (2) Condition of the material, specifying:
    (i) Type of damage or significant damage (e.g., flaking, blistering, 
water damage, or other signs of physical damage).
    (ii) Severity of damage (e.g., major flaking, severely torn jackets, 
as opposed to occasional flaking, minor tears to jackets).

[[Page 645]]

    (iii) Extent or spread of damage over large areas or large 
percentages of the homogeneous area.
    (3) Whether the material is accessible.
    (4) The material's potential for disturbance.
    (5) Known or suspected causes of damage or significant damage (e.g., 
air erosion, vandalism, vibration, water).
    (6) Preventive measures which might eliminate the reasonable 
likelihood of undamaged ACM from becoming significantly damaged.
    (d) The local education agency shall select a person accredited to 
develop management plans to review the results of each inspection, 
reinspection, and assessment for the school building and to conduct any 
other necessary activities in order to recommend in writing to the local 
education agency appropriate response actions. The accredited person 
shall sign and date the recommendation, provide his or her State of 
accreditation, and, if applicable, provide his or her accreditation 
number, and submit a copy of the recommendation to the person designated 
under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion in the management plan.



Sec. 763.90  Response actions.

    (a) The local education agency shall select and implement in a 
timely manner the appropriate response actions in this section 
consistent with the assessment conducted in Sec. 763.88. The response 
actions selected shall be sufficient to protect human health and the 
environment. The local education agency may then select, from the 
response actions which protect human health and the environment, that 
action which is the least burdensome method. Nothing in this section 
shall be construed to prohibit removal of ACBM from a school building at 
any time, should removal be the preferred response action of the local 
education agency.
    (b) If damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation 
ACM is present in a building, the local education agency shall:
    (1) At least repair the damaged area.
    (2) Remove the damaged material if it is not feasible, due to 
technological factors, to repair the damage.
    (3) Maintain all thermal system insulation ACM and its covering in 
an intact state and undamaged condition.
    (c)(1) If damaged friable surfacing ACM or damaged friable 
miscellaneous ACM is present in a building, the local education agency 
shall select from among the following response actions: encapsulation, 
enclosure, removal, or repair of the damaged material.
    (2) In selecting the response action from among those which meet the 
definitional standards in Sec. 763.83, the local education agency shall 
determine which of these response actions protects human health and the 
environment. For purposes of determining which of these response actions 
are the least burdensome, the local education agency may then consider 
local circumstances, including occupancy and use patterns within the 
school building, and its economic concerns, including short- and long-
term costs.
    (d) If significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM or significantly 
damaged friable miscellaneous ACM is present in a building the local 
education agency shall:
    (1) Immediately isolate the functional space and restrict access, 
unless isolation is not necessary to protect human health and the 
environment.
    (2) Remove the material in the functional space or, depending upon 
whether enclosure or encapsulation would be sufficient to protect human 
health and the environment, enclose or encapsulate.
    (e) If any friable surfacing ACM, thermal system insulation ACM, or 
friable miscellaneous ACM that has potential for damage is present in a 
building, the local education agency shall at least implement an 
operations and maintenance (O&M) program, as described under 
Sec. 763.91.
    (f) If any friable surfacing ACM, thermal system insulation ACM, or 
friable miscellaneous ACM that has potential for significant damage is 
present in a building, the local education agency shall:
    (1) Implement an O&M program, as described under Sec. 763.91.
    (2) Institute preventive measures appropriate to eliminate the 
reasonable likelihood that the ACM or its covering

[[Page 646]]

will become significantly damaged, deteriorated, or delaminated.
    (3) Remove the material as soon as possible if appropriate 
preventive measures cannot be effectively implemented, or unless other 
response actions are determined to protect human health and the 
environment. Immediately isolate the area and restrict access if 
necessary to avoid an imminent and substantial endangerment to human 
health or the environment.
    (g) Response actions including removal, encapsulation, enclosure, or 
repair, other than small-scale, short-duration repairs, shall be 
designed and conducted by persons accredited to design and conduct 
response actions.
    (h) The requirements of this subpart E in no way supersede the 
worker protection and work practice requirements under 29 CFR 1926.58 
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos worker 
protection standards for construction), 40 CFR part 763, subpart G (EPA 
asbestos worker protection standards for public employees), and 40 CFR 
part 61, subpart M (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants--Asbestos).
    (i) Completion of response actions. (1) At the conclusion of any 
action to remove, encapsulate, or enclose ACBM or material assumed to be 
ACBM, a person designated by the local education agency shall visually 
inspect each functional space where such action was conducted to 
determine whether the action has been properly completed.
    (2)(i) A person designated by the local education agency shall 
collect air samples using aggressive sampling as described in appendix A 
to this subpart E to monitor air for clearance after each removal, 
encapsulation, and enclosure project involving ACBM, except for projects 
that are of small-scale, short-duration.
    (ii) Local education agencies shall have air samples collected under 
this section analyzed for asbestos using laboratories accredited by the 
National Bureau of Standards to conduct such analysis using transmission 
electron microscopy (TEM) or, under circumstances permitted in this 
section, laboratories enrolled in the American Industrial Hygiene 
Association Proficiency Analytical Testing Program for phase contrast 
microscopy (PCM).
    (iii) Until the National Bureau of Standards TEM laboratory 
accreditation program is operational, local educational agencies shall 
use laboratories that use the protocol described in appendix A to 
subpart E of this part.
    (3) Except as provided in paragraphs (i)(4), and (i)(5), of this 
section, an action to remove, encapsulate, or enclose ACBM shall be 
considered complete when the average concentration of asbestos of five 
air samples collected within the affected functional space and analyzed 
by the TEM method in appendix A of this subpart E, is not statistically 
significantly different, as determined by the Z-test calculation found 
in appendix A of this subpart E, from the average asbestos concentration 
of five air samples collected at the same time outside the affected 
functional space and analyzed in the same manner, and the average 
asbestos concentration of the three field blanks described in appendix A 
of this subpart E is below the filter background level, as defined in 
appendix A of this subpart E, of 70 structures per square millimeter (70 
s/mm \2\).
    (4) An action may also be considered complete if the volume of air 
drawn for each of the five samples collected within the affected 
functional space is equal to or greater than 1,199 L of air for a 25 mm 
filter or equal to or greater than 2,799 L of air for a 37 mm filter, 
and the average concentration of asbestos as analyzed by the TEM method 
in appendix A of this subpart E, for the five air samples does not 
exceed the filter background level, as defined in appendix A, of 70 
structures per square millimeter (70 s/mm \2\). If the average 
concentration of asbestos of the five air samples within the affected 
functional space exceeds 70 s/mm \2\, or if the volume of air in each of 
the samples is less than 1,199 L of air for a 25 mm filter or less than 
2,799 L of air for a 37 mm filter, the action shall be considered 
complete only when the requirements of paragraph (i)(3) or (i)(5), of 
this section are met.
    (5) At any time, a local education agency may analyze air monitoring 
samples collected for clearance purposes by phase contrast microscopy

[[Page 647]]

(PCM) to confirm completion of removal, encapsulation, or enclosure of 
ACBM that is greater than small-scale, short-duration and less than or 
equal to 160 square feet or 260 linear feet. The action shall be 
considered complete when the results of samples collected in the 
affected functional space and analyzed by phase contrast microscopy 
using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 
Method 7400 entitled ``Fibers'' published in the NIOSH Manual of 
Analytical Methods, 3rd Edition, Second Supplement, August 1987, show 
that the concentration of fibers for each of the five samples is less 
than or equal to a limit of quantitation for PCM (0.01 fibers per cubic 
centimeter (0.01 f/cm \3\) of air). The method is available for public 
inspection at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol 
Street, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC, 20408, and the Non-Confidential 
Information Center (NCIC) (7407), Office of Pollution Prevention and 
Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Room B-607 NEM, 401 M 
Street, SW., Washington, DC, 20460, between the hours of 12 p.m. and 4 
p.m. weekdays excluding legal holidays. This incorporation by reference 
was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 
5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. The method is incorporated as it 
exists on the effective date of this rule, and a notice of any change to 
the method will be published in the Federal Register.
    (6) To determine the amount of ACBM affected under paragraph (i)(5) 
of this section, the local education agency shall add the total square 
or linear footage of ACBM within the containment barriers used to 
isolate the functional space for the action to remove, encapsulate, or 
enclose the ACBM. Contiguous portions of material subject to such action 
conducted concurrently or at approximately the same time within the same 
school building shall not be separated to qualify under paragraph 
(i)(5), of this section.

    (a) Compliance with Title II of the Act. (1) Section 207(a) of Title 
II of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2647) makes it unlawful for any local education 
agency to:
    (i) Fail to conduct inspections pursuant to section 203(b) of Title 
II of the Act, including failure to follow procedures and failure to use 
accredited personnel and laboratories.
    (ii) Knowingly submit false information to the Governor regarding 
any inspection pursuant to regulations under section 203(i) of Title II 
of the Act.
    (iii) Fail to develop a management plan pursuant to regulations 
under section 203(i) of Title II of the Act.
    (2) Section 207(a) of Title II of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2647) also 
provides that any local education agency which violates any provision of 
section 207 shall be liable for a civil penalty of not more than $5,000 
for each day during which the violation continues. For the purposes of 
this subpart, a ``violation'' means a failure to comply with respect to 
a single school building.
    (b) Compliance with Title I of the Act. (1) Section 15(1)(D) of 
Title I of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2614) makes it unlawful for any person to 
fail or refuse to comply with any requirement of Title II or any rule 
promulgated or order issued under Title II. Therefore, any person who 
violates any requirement of this subpart is in violation of section 15 
of Title I of the Act.
    (2) Section 15(3) of Title I of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2614) makes it 
unlawful for any person to fail or refuse to establish or maintain 
records, submit reports, notices or other information, or permit access 
to or copying of records, as required by this Act or a rule thereunder.
    (3) Section 15(4) (15 U.S.C. 2614) of Title I of the Act makes it 
unlawful for any person to fail or refuse to permit entry or inspection 
as required by section 11 of Title I of the Act.
    (4) Section 16(a) of Title I of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2615) provides 
that any person who violates any provision of section 15 of Title I of 
the Act shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty in an 
amount not to exceed $25,000 for each such violation. Each day such a 
violation continues shall, for purposes of this paragraph, constitute a 
separate violation of section 15. A local education agency is not liable 
for any civil penalty under Title I of the Act for failing or refusing 
to comply with any rule promulgated or order issued under Title II of 
the Act.
    (c) Criminal penalties. If any violation committed by any person 
(including a

[[Page 654]]

local education agency) is knowing or willful, criminal penalties may be 
assessed under section 16(b) of Title I of the Act.
    (d) Injunctive relief. The Agency may obtain injunctive relief under 
section 208(b) of Title II of the Act to respond to a hazard which poses 
an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the 
environment or section 17 (15 U.S.C. 2616) of Title I of the Act to 
restrain any violation of section 15 of Title I of the Act or to compel 
the taking of any action required by or under Title I of the Act.
    (e) Citizen complaints. Any citizen who wishes to file a complaint 
pursuant to section 207(d) of Title II of the Act should direct the 
complaint to the Governor of the State or the EPA Asbestos Ombudsman, 
401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460. The citizen complaint should be 
in writing and identified as a citizen complaint pursuant to section 
207(d) of Title II of TSCA. The EPA Asbestos Ombudsman or the Governor 
shall investigate and respond to the complaint within a reasonable 
period of time if the allegations provide a reasonable basis to believe 
that a violation of the Act has occurred.
    (f) Inspections. EPA may conduct inspections and review management 
plans under section 11 of Title I of the Act (15 U.S.C. 2610) to ensure 
compliance.

Sec. 763.99  Exclusions.

    (a) A local education agency shall not be required to perform an 
inspection under Sec. 763.85(a) in any sampling area as defined in 40 
CFR 763.103 or homogeneous area of a school building where:
    (1) An accredited inspector has determined that, based on sampling 
records, friable ACBM was identified in that homogeneous or sampling 
area during an inspection conducted before December 14, 1987. The 
inspector shall sign and date a statement to that effect with his or her 
State of accreditation and if applicable, accreditation number and, 
within 30 days after such determination, submit a copy of the statement 
to the person designated under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion in the 
management plan. However, an accredited inspector shall assess the 
friable ACBM under Sec. 763.88.
    (2) An accredited inspector has determined that, based on sampling 
records, nonfriable ACBM was identified in that homogeneous or sampling 
area during an inspection conducted before December 14, 1987. The 
inspector shall sign and date a statement to that effect with his or her 
State of accreditation and if applicable, accreditation number and, 
within 30 days after such determination, submit a copy of the statement 
to the person designated under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion in the 
management plan. However, an accredited inspector shall identify whether 
material that was nonfriable has become friable since that previous 
inspection and shall assess the newly-friable ACBM under Sec. 763.88.
    (3) Based on sampling records and inspection records, an accredited 
inspector has determined that no ACBM is present in the homogeneous or 
sampling area and the records show that the area was sampled, before 
December 14, 1987 in substantial compliance with Sec. 763.85(a), which 
for purposes of this section means in a random manner and with a 
sufficient number of samples to reasonably ensure that the area is not 
ACBM.
    (i) The accredited inspector shall sign and date a statement, with 
his or

[[Page 657]]

her State of accreditation and if applicable, accreditation number that 
the homogeneous or sampling area determined not to be ACBM was sampled 
in substantial compliance with Sec. 763.85(a).
    (ii) Within 30 days after the inspector's determination, the local 
education agency shall submit a copy of the inspector's statement to the 
EPA Regional Office and shall include the statement in the management 
plan for that school.
    (4) The lead agency responsible for asbestos inspection in a State 
that has been granted a waiver from Sec. 763.85(a) has determined that, 
based on sampling records and inspection records, no ACBM is present in 
the homogeneous or sampling area and the records show that the area was 
sampled before December 14, 1987, in substantial compliance with 
Sec. 763.85(a). Such determination shall be included in the management 
plan for that school.
    (5) An accredited inspector has determined that, based on records of 
an inspection conducted before December 14, 1987, suspected ACBM 
identified in that homogeneous or sampling area is assumed to be ACM. 
The inspector shall sign and date a statement to that effect, with his 
or her State of accreditation and if applicable, accreditation number 
and, within 30 days of such determination, submit a copy of the 
statement to the person designated under Sec. 763.84 for inclusion in 
the management plan. However, an accredited inspector shall identify 
whether material that was nonfriable suspected ACBM assumed to be ACM 
has become friable since the previous inspection and shall assess the 
newly friable material and previously identified friable suspected ACBM 
assumed to be ACM under Sec. 763.88.
    (6) Based on inspection records and contractor and clearance 
records, an accredited inspector has determined that no ACBM is present 
in the homogeneous or sampling area where asbestos removal operations 
have been conducted before December 14, 1987, and shall sign and date a 
statement to that effect and include his or her State of accreditation 
and, if applicable, accreditation number. The local education agency 
shall submit a copy of the statement to the EPA Regional Office and 
shall include the statement in the management plan for that school.
    (7) An architect or project engineer responsible for the 
construction of a new school building built after October 12, 1988, or 
an accredited inspector signs a statement that no ACBM was specified as 
a building material in any construction document for the building, or, 
to the best of his or her knowledge, no ACBM was used as a building 
material in the building. The local education agency shall submit a copy 
of the signed statement of the architect, project engineer, or 
accredited inspector to the EPA Regional Office and shall include the 
statement in the management plan for that school.
    (b) The exclusion, under paragraphs (a) (1) through (4) of this 
section, from conducting the inspection under Sec. 763.85(a) shall apply 
only to homogeneous or sampling areas of a school building that were 
inspected and sampled before October 17, 1987. The local education 
agency shall conduct an inspection under Sec. 763.85(a) of all areas 
inspected before October 17, 1987, that were not sampled or were not 
assumed to be ACM.
    (c) If ACBM is subsequently found in a homogeneous or sampling area 
of a local education agency that had been identified as receiving an 
exclusion by an accredited inspector under paragraphs (a) (3), (4), (5) 
of this section, or an architect, project engineer or accredited 
inspector under paragraph (a)(7) of this section, the local education 
agency shall have 180 days following the date of identification of ACBM 
to comply with this subpart E.

   Appendix A to Subpart E--Interim Transmission Electron Microscopy 
Analytical Methods--Mandatory and Nonmandatory--and Mandatory Section to 
                Determine Completion of Response Actions

                             I. Introduction

    The following appendix contains three units. The first unit is the 
mandatory transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method which all 
laboratories must follow; it is the minimum requirement for analysis of 
air samples for asbestos by TEM. The mandatory method contains the 
essential elements

[[Page 658]]

of the TEM method. The second unit contains the complete non-mandatory 
method. The non-mandatory method supplements the mandatory method by 
including additional steps to improve the analysis. EPA recommends that 
the non-mandatory method be employed for analyzing air filters; however, 
the laboratory may choose to employ the mandatory method. The non-
mandatory method contains the same minimum requirements as are outlined 
in the mandatory method. Hence, laboratories may choose either of the 
two methods for analyzing air samples by TEM.
    The final unit of this Appendix A to subpart E defines the steps 
which must be taken to determine completion of response actions. This 
unit is mandatory.

          II. Mandatory Transmission Electron Microscopy Method

                         A. Definitions of Terms

    1. Analytical sensitivity--Airborne asbestos concentration 
represented by each fiber counted under the electron microscope. It is 
determined by the air volume collected and the proportion of the filter 
examined. This method requires that the analytical sensitivity be no 
greater than 0.005 structures/cm\3\.
    2. Asbestiform--A specific type of mineral fibrosity in which the 
fibers and fibrils possess high tensile strength and flexibility.
    3. Aspect ratio--A ratio of the length to the width of a particle. 
Minimum aspect ratio as defined by this method is equal to or greater 
than 5:1.
    4. Bundle--A structure composed of three or more fibers in a 
parallel arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    5. Clean area--A controlled environment which is maintained and 
monitored to assure a low probability of asbestos contamination to 
materials in that space. Clean areas used in this method have HEPA 
filtered air under positive pressure and are capable of sustained 
operation with an open laboratory blank which on subsequent analysis has 
an average of less than 18 structures/mm\2\ in an area of 0.057 mm\2\ 
(nominally 10 200-mesh grid openings) and a maximum of 53 structures/
mm\2\ for any single preparation for that same area.
    6. Cluster--A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group. Groupings must have more than two intersections.
    7. ED--Electron diffraction.
    8. EDXA--Energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
    9. Fiber--A structure greater than or equal to 0.5 m in 
length with an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or greater and 
having substantially parallel sides.
    10. Grid--An open structure for mounting on the sample to aid in its 
examination in the TEM. The term is used here to denote a 200-mesh 
copper lattice approximately 3 mm in diameter.
    11. Intersection--Nonparallel touching or crossing of fibers, with 
the projection having an aspect ratio of 5:1 or greater.
    12. Laboratory sample coordinator--That person responsible for the 
conduct of sample handling and the certification of the testing 
procedures.
    13. Filter background level--The concentration of structures per 
square millimeter of filter that is considered indistinguishable from 
the concentration measured on a blank (filters through which no air has 
been drawn). For this method the filter background level is defined as 
70 structures/mm\2\.
    14. Matrix--Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    15. NSD--No structure detected.
    16. Operator--A person responsible for the TEM instrumental analysis 
of the sample.
    17. PCM--Phase contrast microscopy.
    18. SAED--Selected area electron diffraction.
    19. SEM--Scanning electron microscope.
    20. STEM--Scanning transmission electron microscope.
    21. Structure--a microscopic bundle, cluster, fiber, or matrix which 
may contain asbestos.
    22. S/cm\3\--Structures per cubic centimeter.
    23. S/mm\2\--Structures per square millimeter.
    24. TEM--Transmission electron microscope.

                               B. Sampling

    1. The sampling agency must have written quality control procedures 
and documents which verify compliance.
    2. Sampling operations must be performed by qualified individuals 
completely independent of the abatement contractor to avoid possible 
conflict of interest (References 1, 2, 3, and 5 of Unit II.J.).
    3. Sampling for airborne asbestos following an abatement action must 
use commercially available cassettes.
    4. Prescreen the loaded cassette collection filters to assure that 
they do not contain concentrations of asbestos which may interfere with 
the analysis of the sample. A filter blank average of less than 18 s/
mm\2\ in an area of 0.057 mm\2\ (nominally 10 200-mesh grid openings) 
and a single preparation with a maximum of 53 s/mm\2\ for that same area 
is acceptable for this method.
    5. Use sample collection filters which are either polycarbonate 
having a pore size less than or equal to 0.4 m or mixed 
cellulose ester having a pore size less than or equal to 0.45 
m.

[[Page 659]]

    6. Place these filters in series with a 5.0 m backup filter 
(to serve as a diffuser) and a support pad. See the following Figure 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.001


[[Page 660]]


    7. Reloading of used cassettes is not permitted.
    8. Orient the cassette downward at approximately 45 degrees from the 
horizontal.
    9. Maintain a log of all pertinent sampling information.
    10. Calibrate sampling pumps and their flow indicators over the 
range of their intended use with a recognized standard. Assemble the 
sampling system with a representative filter (not the filter which will 
be used in sampling) before and after the sampling operation.
    11. Record all calibration information.
    12. Ensure that the mechanical vibrations from the pump will be 
minimized to prevent transferral of vibration to the cassette.
    13. Ensure that a continuous smooth flow of negative pressure is 
delivered by the pump by damping out any pump action fluctuations if 
necessary.
    14. The final plastic barrier around the abatement area remains in 
place for the sampling period.
    15. After the area has passed a thorough visual inspection, use 
aggressive sampling conditions to dislodge any remaining dust. (See 
suggested protocol in Unit III.B.7.d.)
    16. Select an appropriate flow rate equal to or greater than 1 liter 
per minute (L/min) or less than 10 L/min for 25 mm cassettes. Larger 
filters may be operated at proportionally higher flow rates.
    17. A minimum of 13 samples are to be collected for each testing 
site consisting of the following:
    a. A minimum of five samples per abatement area.
    b. A minimum of five samples per ambient area positioned at 
locations representative of the air entering the abatement site.
    c. Two field blanks are to be taken by removing the cap for not more 
than 30 seconds and replacing it at the time of sampling before sampling 
is initiated at the following places:
    i. Near the entrance to each abatement area.
    ii. At one of the ambient sites. (DO NOT leave the field blanks open 
during the sampling period.)
    d. A sealed blank is to be carried with each sample set. This 
representative cassette is not to be opened in the field.
    18. Perform a leak check of the sampling system at each indoor and 
outdoor sampling site by activating the pump with the closed sampling 
cassette in line. Any flow indicates a leak which must be eliminated 
before initiating the sampling operation.
    19. The following Table I specifies volume ranges to be used:

[[Page 661]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.002


    20. Ensure that the sampler is turned upright before interrupting 
the pump flow.
    21. Check that all samples are clearly labeled and that all 
pertinent information has been enclosed before transfer of the samples 
to the laboratory.
    22. Ensure that the samples are stored in a secure and 
representative location.
    23. Do not change containers if portions of these filters are taken 
for other purposes.
    24. A summary of Sample Data Quality Objectives is shown in the 
following Table II:

[[Page 662]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.003



                           C. Sample Shipment

    Ship bulk samples to the analytical laboratory in a separate 
container from air samples.

                           D. Sample Receiving

    1. Designate one individual as sample coordinator at the laboratory. 
While that individual will normally be available to receive samples, the 
coordinator may train and supervise others in receiving procedures for 
those times when he/she is not available.
    2. Bulk samples and air samples delivered to the analytical 
laboratory in the same container shall be rejected.

                          E. Sample Preparation

    1. All sample preparation and analysis shall be performed by a 
laboratory independent of the abatement contractor.
    2. Wet-wipe the exterior of the cassettes to minimize contamination 
possibilities before taking them into the clean room facility.
    3. Perform sample preparation in a well-equipped clean facility.

    Note: The clean area is required to have the following 
minimum characteristics. The area or hood must be capable of maintaining 
a positive pressure with make-up air being HEPA-filtered. The cumulative 
analytical blank concentration must average less than 18 s/mm\2\ in an 
area of 0.057 mm\2\ (nominally 10 200-mesh grid openings) and a single 
preparation with a maximum of 53  s/mm\2\ for that same area.

    4. Preparation areas for air samples must not only be separated from 
preparation areas for bulk samples, but they must be prepared in 
separate rooms.
    5. Direct preparation techniques are required. The object is to 
produce an intact film containing the particulates of the filter surface 
which is sufficiently clear for TEM analysis.
    a. TEM Grid Opening Area measurement must be done as follows:
    i. The filter portion being used for sample preparation must have 
the surface collapsed using an acetone vapor technique.
    ii. Measure 20 grid openings on each of 20 random 200-mesh copper 
grids by placing a grid on a glass and examining it under the PCM. Use a 
calibrated graticule to measure the average field diameters. From the 
data, calculate the field area for an average grid opening.
    iii. Measurements can also be made on the TEM at a properly 
calibrated low magnification or on an optical microscope at a 
magnification of approximately 400X by using an eyepiece fitted with a 
scale that has been calibrated against a stage micrometer. Optical 
microscopy utilizing manual or automated procedures may be used 
providing instrument calibration can be verified.
    b. TEM specimen preparation from polycarbonate (PC) filters. 
Procedures as described in Unit III.G. or other equivalent methods may 
be used.
    c. TEM specimen preparation from mixed cellulose ester (MCE) 
filters.
    i. Filter portion being used for sample preparation must have the 
surface collapsed using an acetone vapor technique or the Burdette 
procedure (Ref. 7 of Unit II.J.)
    ii. Plasma etching of the collapsed filter is required. The 
microscope slide to which the collapsed filter pieces are attached is 
placed in a plasma asher. Because plasma ashers vary greatly in their 
performance, both from unit to unit and between different positions in 
the asher chamber, it is difficult to specify the conditions that should 
be used. Insufficient etching will result in a failure to expose 
embedded filters, and too much etching may result in loss of particulate 
from the surface. As an interim measure, it is recommended that the time 
for ashing of a

[[Page 663]]

known weight of a collapsed filter be established and that the etching 
rate be calculated in terms of micrometers per second. The actual 
etching time used for the particulate asher and operating conditions 
will then be set such that a 1-2 m (10 percent) layer of 
collapsed surface will be removed.
    iii. Procedures as described in Unit III. or other equivalent 
methods may be used to prepare samples.

                              F. TEM Method

    1. An 80-120 kV TEM capable of performing electron diffraction with 
a fluorescent screen inscribed with calibrated gradations is required. 
If the TEM is equipped with EDXA it must either have a STEM attachment 
or be capable of producing a spot less than 250 nm in diameter at 
crossover. The microscope shall be calibrated routinely for 
magnification and camera constant.
    2. Determination of Camera Constant and ED Pattern Analysis. The 
camera length of the TEM in ED operating mode must be calibrated before 
ED patterns on unknown samples are observed. This can be achieved by 
using a carbon-coated grid on which a thin film of gold has been 
sputtered or evaporated. A thin film of gold is evaporated on the 
specimen TEM grid to obtain zone-axis ED patterns superimposed with a 
ring pattern from the polycrystalline gold film. In practice, it is 
desirable to optimize the thickness of the gold film so that only one or 
two sharp rings are obtained on the superimposed ED pattern. Thicker 
gold film would normally give multiple gold rings, but it will tend to 
mask weaker diffraction spots from the unknown fibrous particulate. 
Since the unknown d-spacings of most interest in asbestos analysis are 
those which lie closest to the transmitted beam, multiple gold rings are 
unnecessary on zone-axis ED patterns. An average camera constant using 
multiple gold rings can be determined. The camera constant is one-half 
the diameter of the rings times the interplanar spacing of the ring 
being measured.
    3. Magnification Calibration. The magnification calibration must be 
done at the fluorescent screen. The TEM must be calibrated at the grid 
opening magnification (if used) and also at the magnification used for 
fiber counting. This is performed with a cross grating replica (e.g., 
one containing 2,160 lines/mm). Define a field of view on the 
fluorescent screen either by markings or physical boundaries. The field 
of view must be measurable or previously inscribed with a scale or 
concentric circles (all scales should be metric). A logbook must be 
maintained, and the dates of calibration and the values obtained must be 
recorded. The frequency of calibration depends on the past history of 
the particular microscope. After any maintenance of the microscope that 
involved adjustment of the power supplied to the lenses or the high-
voltage system or the mechanical disassembly of the electron optical 
column apart from filament exchange, the magnification must be 
recalibrated. Before the TEM calibration is performed, the analyst must 
ensure that the cross grating replica is placed at the same distance 
from the objective lens as the specimens are. For instruments that 
incorporate a eucentric tilting specimen stage, all specimens and the 
cross grating replica must be placed at the eucentric position.
    4. While not required on every microscope in the laboratory, the 
laboratory must have either one microscope equipped with energy 
dispersive X-ray analysis or access to an equivalent system on a TEM in 
another laboratory.
    5. Microscope settings: 80-120 kV, grid assessment 250-1,000X, then 
15,000-20,000X screen magnification for analysis.
    6. Approximately one-half (0.5) of the predetermined sample area to 
be analyzed shall be performed on one sample grid preparation and the 
remaining half on a second sample grid preparation.
    7. Individual grid openings with greater than 5 percent openings 
(holes) or covered with greater than 25 percent particulate matter or 
obviously having nonuniform loading must not be analyzed.
    8. Reject the grid if:
    a. Less than 50 percent of the grid openings covered by the replica 
are intact.
    b. The replica is doubled or folded.
    c. The replica is too dark because of incomplete dissolution of the 
filter.
    9. Recording Rules.
    a. Any continuous grouping of particles in which an asbestos fiber 
with an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 5:1 and a length greater 
than or equal to 0.5 m is detected shall be recorded on the 
count sheet. These will be designated asbestos structures and will be 
classified as fibers, bundles, clusters, or matrices. Record as 
individual fibers any contiguous grouping having 0, 1, or 2 definable 
intersections. Groupings having more than 2 intersections are to be 
described as cluster or matrix. An intersection is a nonparallel 
touching or crossing of fibers, with the projection having an aspect 
ratio of 5:1 or greater. See the following Figure 2:

[[Page 664]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.004



[[Page 665]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.005


    i. Fiber. A structure having a minimum length greater than or equal 
to 0.5 m and an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or 
greater and substantially parallel sides. Note the appearance of the end 
of the fiber, i.e., whether it is flat, rounded or dovetailed.
    ii. Bundle. A structure composed of three or more fibers in a 
parallel arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    iii. Cluster. A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group. Groupings must have more than two intersections.
    iv. Matrix. Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    b. Separate categories will be maintained for fibers less than 5 
m and for fibers equal to or greater than 5 m in 
length.
    c. Record NSD when no structures are detected in the field.
    d. Visual identification of electron diffraction (ED) patterns is 
required for each asbestos structure counted which would cause the

[[Page 666]]

analysis to exceed the 70 s/mm\2\ concentration. (Generally this means 
the first four fibers identified as asbestos must exhibit an 
identifiable diffraction pattern for chrysotile or amphibole.)
    e. The micrograph number of the recorded diffraction patterns must 
be reported to the client and maintained in the laboratory's quality 
assurance records. In the event that examination of the pattern by a 
qualified individual indicates that the pattern has been misidentified 
visually, the client shall be contacted.
    f. Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDXA) is required of all 
amphiboles which would cause the analysis results to exceed the 70 s/
mm\2\ concentration. (Generally speaking, the first 4 amphiboles would 
require EDXA.)
    g. If the number of fibers in the nonasbestos class would cause the 
analysis to exceed the 70 s/mm\2\ concentration, the fact that they are 
not asbestos must be confirmed by EDXA or measurement of a zone axis 
diffraction pattern.
    h. Fibers classified as chrysotile must be identified by diffraction 
or X-ray analysis and recorded on a count sheet. X-ray analysis alone 
can be used only after 70 s/mm\2\ have been exceeded for a particular 
sample.
    i. Fibers classified as amphiboles must be identified by X-ray 
analysis and electron diffraction and recorded on the count sheet. (X-
ray analysis alone can be used only after 70 s/mm\2\ have been exceeded 
for a particular sample.)
    j. If a diffraction pattern was recorded on film, record the 
micrograph number on the count sheet.
    k. If an electron diffraction was attempted but no pattern was 
observed, record N on the count sheet.
    l. If an EDXA spectrum was attempted but not observed, record N on 
the count sheet.
    m. If an X-ray analysis spectrum is stored, record the file and disk 
number on the count sheet.
    10. Classification Rules.
    a. Fiber. A structure having a minimum length greater than or equal 
to 0.5 m and an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or 
greater and substantially parallel sides. Note the appearance of the end 
of the fiber, i.e., whether it is flat, rounded or dovetailed.
    b. Bundle. A structure composed of three or more fibers in a 
parallel arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    c. Cluster. A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group. Groupings must have more than two intersections.
    d. Matrix. Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    11. After finishing with a grid, remove it from the microscope, and 
replace it in the appropriate grid holder. Sample grids must be stored 
for a minimum of 1 year from the date of the analysis; the sample 
cassette must be retained for a minimum of 30 days by the laboratory or 
returned at the client's request.

                      G. Sample Analytical Sequence

    1. Under the present sampling requirements a minimum of 13 samples 
is to be collected for the clearance testing of an abatement site. These 
include five abatement area samples, five ambient samples, two field 
blanks, and one sealed blank.
    2. Carry out visual inspection of work site prior to air monitoring.
    3. Collect a minimum of 5 air samples inside the work site and 5 
samples outside the work site. The indoor and outdoor samples shall be 
taken during the same time period.
    4. Remaining steps in the analytical sequence are contained in Unit 
IV of this Appendix.

                              H. Reporting

    1. The following information must be reported to the client for each 
sample analyzed:
    a. Concentration in structures per square millimeter and structures 
per cubic centimeter.
    b. Analytical sensitivity used for the analysis.
    c. Number of asbestos structures.
    d. Area analyzed.
    e. Volume of air sampled (which must be initially supplied to lab by 
client).
    f. Copy of the count sheet must be included with the report.
    g. Signature of laboratory official to indicate that the laboratory 
met specifications of the method.
    h. Report form must contain official laboratory identification 
(e.g., letterhead).
    i. Type of asbestos.

     I. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Procedures (Data Quality 
                               Indicators)

    Monitoring the environment for airborne asbestos requires the use of 
sensitive sampling and analysis procedures. Because the test is 
sensitive, it may be influenced by a variety of factors. These include 
the supplies used in the sampling operation, the performance of the 
sampling, the preparation of the grid from the filter and the actual 
examination of this grid in the microscope. Each of these unit 
operations must produce a product of defined quality if the analytical 
result is to be a reliable and meaningful test result. Accordingly, a 
series of control checks and reference standards are to be performed 
along with the sample analysis as indicators that the materials used are 
adequate and the

[[Page 667]]

operations are within acceptable limits. In this way, the quality of the 
data is defined and the results are of known value. These checks and 
tests also provide timely and specific warning of any problems which 
might develop within the sampling and analysis operations. A description 
of these quality control/quality assurance procedures is summarized in 
the following Table III:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.006

    1. When the samples arrive at the laboratory, check the samples and 
documentation for completeness and requirements before initiating the 
analysis.
    2. Check all laboratory reagents and supplies for acceptable 
asbestos background levels.
    3. Conduct all sample preparation in a clean room environment 
monitored by laboratory blanks. Testing with blanks must also be done 
after cleaning or servicing the room.
    4. Prepare multiple grids of each sample.

[[Page 668]]

    5. Provide laboratory blanks with each sample batch. Maintain a 
cumulative average of these results. If there are more than 53 fibers/mm 
\2\ per 10 200-mesh grid openings, the system must be checked for 
possible sources of contamination.
    6. Perform a system check on the transmission electron microscope 
daily.
    7. Make periodic performance checks of magnification, electron 
diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray systems as set forth in Table 
III under Unit II.I.
    8. Ensure qualified operator performance by evaluation of replicate 
analysis and standard sample comparisons as set forth in Table III under 
Unit II.I.
    9. Validate all data entries.
    10. Recalculate a percentage of all computations and automatic data 
reduction steps as specified in Table III under Unit II.I.
    11. Record an electron diffraction pattern of one asbestos structure 
from every five samples that contain asbestos. Verify the identification 
of the pattern by measurement or comparison of the pattern with patterns 
collected from standards under the same conditions. The records must 
also demonstrate that the identification of the pattern has been 
verified by a qualified individual and that the operator who made the 
identification is maintaining at least an 80 percent correct visual 
identification based on his measured patterns.
    12. Appropriate logs or records must be maintained by the analytical 
laboratory verifying that it is in compliance with the mandatory quality 
assurance procedures.

                         A. Definitions of Terms

    1. Analytical sensitivity--Airborne asbestos concentration 
represented by each fiber counted under the electron microscope. It is 
determined by the air volume collected and the proportion of the filter 
examined. This method requires that the analytical sensitivity be no

than 5:1.
    4. Bundle--A structure composed of three or more fibers in a 
parallel arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    5. Clean area--A controlled environment which is maintained and 
monitored to assure a low probability of asbestos contamination to 
materials in that space. Clean areas used in this method have HEPA 
filtered air under positive pressure and are capable of sustained 
operation with an open laboratory blank which on subsequent analysis has 
an average of less than 18 structures/mm\2\ in an area of 0.057 mm\2\ 
(nominally 10 200 mesh grid openings) and a maximum of 53 structures/
mm\2\ for no more than one single preparation for that same area.
    6. Cluster--A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group. Groupings must have more than two intersections.
    7. ED--Electron diffraction.
    8. EDXA--Energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
    9. Fiber--A structure greater than or equal to 0.5 m in 
length with an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or greater and 
having substantially parallel sides.

[[Page 669]]

    10. Grid--An open structure for mounting on the sample to aid in its 
examination in the TEM. The term is used here to denote a 200-mesh 
copper lattice approximately 3 mm in diameter.

the projection having an aspect ratio of 5:1 or greater.
    12. Laboratory sample coordinator--That person responsible for the 
conduct of sample handling and the certification of the testing 
procedures.
    13. Filter background level--The concentration of structures per 
square millimeter of filter that is considered indistinguishable from 
the concentration measured on blanks (filters through which no air has 
been drawn). For this method the filter background level is defined as 
70 structures/mm\2\.
    14. Matrix--Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    15. NSD--No structure detected.
    16. Operator--A person responsible for the TEM instrumental analysis 
of the sample.
    17. PCM--Phase contrast microscopy.
    18. SAED--Selected area electron diffraction.
    19. SEM--Scanning electron microscope.
    20. STEM--Scanning transmission electron microscope.
    21. Structure--a microscopic bundle, cluster, fiber, or matrix which 
may contain asbestos.
    22. S/cm\3\--Structures per cubic centimeter.

    24. TEM--Transmission electron microscope.

                               B. Sampling

    1. Sampling operations must be performed by qualified individuals 
completely independent of the abatement contractor to avoid possible 
conflict of interest (See References 1, 2, and 5 of Unit III.L.) Special 
precautions should be taken to avoid contamination of the sample. For 
example, materials that have not been prescreened for their asbestos 
background content should not be used; also, sample handling procedures 
which do not take cross contamination possibilities into account should 
not be used.
    2. Material and supply checks for asbestos contamination should be 
made on all critical supplies, reagents, and procedures before their use 
in a monitoring study.
    3. Quality control and quality assurance steps are needed to 
identify problem areas and isolate the cause of the contamination (see 
Reference 5 of Unit III.L.). Control checks shall be permanently 
recorded to document the quality of the information produced. The 
sampling firm must have written quality control procedures and documents 
which verify compliance. Independent audits by a qualified consultant or 
firm should be performed once a year. All documentation of compliance 
should be retained indefinitely to provide a guarantee of quality. A 
summary of Sample Data Quality Objectives is shown in Table II of Unit 
II.B.
    4. Sampling materials.
    a. Sample for airborne asbestos following an abatement action using 
commercially available cassettes.
    b. Use either a cowling or a filter-retaining middle piece. 
Conductive material may reduce the potential for particulates to adhere 
to the walls of the cowl.
    c. Cassettes must be verified as ``clean'' prior to use in the 
field. If packaged filters are used for loading or preloaded cassettes 
are purchased from the manufacturer or a distributor, the manufacturer's 
name and lot number should be entered on all field data sheets provided 
to the laboratory, and are required to be listed on all reports from the 
laboratory.
    d. Assemble the cassettes in a clean facility (See definition of 
clean area under Unit III.A.).
    e. Reloading of used cassettes is not permitted.
    f. Use sample collection filters which are either polycarbonate 
having a pore size of less than or equal to 0.4 m or mixed 
cellulose ester having a pore size of less than or equal to 0.45 
m.
    g. Place these filters in series with a backup filter with a pore 
size of 5.0 m (to serve as a diffuser) and a support pad. See 
the following Figure 1:

[[Page 670]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.007


    h. When polycarbonate filters are used, position the highly 
reflective face such that the incoming particulate is received on this 
surface.
    i. Seal the cassettes to prevent leakage around the filter edges or 
between cassette part joints. A mechanical press may be useful to 
achieve a reproducible leak-free seal.

[[Page 671]]

Shrink fit gel-bands may be used for this purpose and are available from 
filter manufacturers and their authorized distributors.
    j. Use wrinkle-free loaded cassettes in the sampling operation.
    5. Pump setup.
    a. Calibrate the sampling pump over the range of flow rates and 
loads anticipated for the monitoring period with this flow measuring 
device in series. Perform this calibration using guidance from EPA 
Method 2A each time the unit is sent to the field (See Reference 6 of 
Unit III.L.).
    b. Configure the sampling system to preclude pump vibrations from 
being transmitted to the cassette by using a sampling stand separate 
from the pump station and making connections with flexible tubing.
    c. Maintain continuous smooth flow conditions by damping out any 
pump action fluctuations if necessary.
    d. Check the sampling system for leaks with the end cap still in 
place and the pump operating before initiating sample collection. Trace 
and stop the source of any flow indicated by the flowmeter under these 
conditions.
    e. Select an appropriate flow rate equal to or greater than 1 L/min 
or less than 10 L/min for 25 mm cassettes. Larger filters may be 
operated at proportionally higher flow rates.
    f. Orient the cassette downward at approximately 45 degrees from the 
horizontal.
    g. Maintain a log of all pertinent sampling information, such as 
pump identification number, calibration data, sample location, date, 
sample identification number, flow rates at the beginning, middle, and 
end, start and stop times, and other useful information or comments. Use 
of a sampling log form is recommended. See the following Figure 2:

[[Page 672]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.008


    h. Initiate a chain of custody procedure at the start of each 
sampling, if this is requested by the client.
    i. Maintain a close check of all aspects of the sampling operation 
on a regular basis.
    j. Continue sampling until at least the minimum volume is collected, 
as specified in the following Table I:

[[Page 673]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.009


    k. At the conclusion of sampling, turn the cassette upward before 
stopping the flow to minimize possible particle loss. If the sampling is 
resumed, restart the flow before reorienting the cassette downward. Note 
the condition of the filter at the conclusion of sampling.
    l. Double check to see that all information has been recorded on the 
data collection forms and that the cassette is securely closed and 
appropriately identified using a waterproof label. Protect cassettes in 
individual clean resealed polyethylene bags. Bags are to be used for 
storing cassette caps when they are removed for sampling purposes. Caps 
and plugs should only be removed or replaced using clean hands or clean 
disposable plastic gloves.
    m. Do not change containers if portions of these filters are taken 
for other purposes.

[[Page 674]]

    6. Minimum sample number per site. A minimum of 13 samples are to be 
collected for each testing consisting of the following:
    a. A minimum of five samples per abatement area.
    b. A minimum of five samples per ambient area positioned at 
locations representative of the air entering the abatement site.
    c. Two field blanks are to be taken by removing the cap for not more 
than 30 sec and replacing it at the time of sampling before sampling is 
initiated at the following places:
    i. Near the entrance to each ambient area.
    ii. At one of the ambient sites.

    (Note: Do not leave the blank open during the sampling period.)

    d. A sealed blank is to be carried with each sample set. This 
representative cassette is not to be opened in the field.
    7. Abatement area sampling.
    a. Conduct final clearance sampling only after the primary 
containment barriers have been removed; the abatement area has been 
thoroughly dried; and, it has passed visual inspection tests by 
qualified personnel. (See Reference 1 of Unit III.L.)
    b. Containment barriers over windows, doors, and air passageways 
must remain in place until the TEM clearance sampling and analysis is 
completed and results meet clearance test criteria. The final plastic 
barrier remains in place for the sampling period.
    c. Select sampling sites in the abatement area on a random basis to 
provide unbiased and representative samples.
    d. After the area has passed a thorough visual inspection, use 
aggressive sampling conditions to dislodge any remaining dust.
    i. Equipment used in aggressive sampling such as a leaf blower and/
or fan should be properly cleaned and decontaminated before use.
    ii. Air filtration units shall remain on during the air monitoring 
period.
    iii. Prior to air monitoring, floors, ceiling and walls shall be 
swept with the exhaust of a minimum one (1) horsepower leaf blower.
    iv. Stationary fans are placed in locations which will not interfere 
with air monitoring equipment. Fan air is directed toward the ceiling. 
One fan shall be used for each 10,000 ft \3\ of worksite.
    v. Monitoring of an abatement work area with high-volume pumps and 
the use of circulating fans will require electrical power. Electrical 
outlets in the abatement area may be used if available. If no such 
outlets are available, the equipment must be supplied with electricity 
by the use of extension cords and strip plug units. All electrical power 
supply equipment of this type must be approved Underwriter Laboratory 
equipment that has not been modified. All wiring must be grounded. 
Ground fault interrupters should be used. Extreme care must be taken to 
clean up any residual water and ensure that electrical equipment does 
not become wet while operational.
    vi. Low volume pumps may be carefully wrapped in 6-mil polyethylene 
to insulate the pump from the air. High volume pumps cannot be sealed in 
this manner since the heat of the motor may melt the plastic. The pump 
exhausts should be kept free.
    vii. If recleaning is necessary, removal of this equipment from the 
work area must be handled with care. It is not possible to completely 
decontaminate the pump motor and parts since these areas cannot be 
wetted. To minimize any problems in this area, all equipment such as 
fans and pumps should be carefully wet wiped prior to removal from the 
abatement area. Wrapping and sealing low volume pumps in 6-mil 
polyethylene will provide easier decontamination of this equipment. Use 
of clean water and disposable wipes should be available for this 
purpose.
    e. Pump flow rate equal to or greater than 1 L/min or less than 10 
L/min may be used for 25 mm cassettes. The larger cassette diameters may 
have comparably increased flow.
    f. Sample a volume of air sufficient to ensure the minimum 
quantitation limits. (See Table I of Unit III.B.5.j.)
    8. Ambient sampling.
    a. Position ambient samplers at locations representative of the air 
entering the abatement site. If makeup air entering the abatement site 
is drawn from another area of the building which is outside of the 
abatement area, place the pumps in the building, pumps should be placed 
out of doors located near the building and away from any obstructions 
that may influence wind patterns. If construction is in progress 
immediately outside the enclosure, it may be necessary to select another 
ambient site. Samples should be representative of any air entering the 
work site.
    b. Locate the ambient samplers at least 3 ft apart and protect them 
from adverse weather conditions.
    c. Sample same volume of air as samples taken inside the abatement 
site.

                           C. Sample Shipment

    1. Ship bulk samples in a separate container from air samples. Bulk 
samples and air samples delivered to the analytical laboratory in the 
same container shall be rejected.
    2. Select a rigid shipping container and pack the cassettes upright 
in a noncontaminating nonfibrous medium such as a bubble pack. The use 
of resealable polyethylene bags may help to prevent jostling of 
individual cassettes.
    3. Avoid using expanded polystyrene because of its static charge 
potential. Also avoid using particle-based packaging materials because 
of possible contamination.
    4. Include a shipping bill and a detailed listing of samples 
shipped, their descriptions

[[Page 675]]

and all identifying numbers or marks, sampling data, shipper's name, and 
contact information. For each sample set, designate which are the 
ambient samples, which are the abatement area samples, which are the 
field blanks, and which is the sealed blank if sequential analysis is to 
be performed.
    5. Hand-carry samples to the laboratory in an upright position if 
possible; otherwise choose that mode of transportation least likely to 
jar the samples in transit.
    6. Address the package to the laboratory sample coordinator by name 
when known and alert him or her of the package description, shipment 
mode, and anticipated arrival as part of the chain of custody and sample 
tracking procedures. This will also help the laboratory schedule timely 
analysis for the samples when they are received.

     D. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Procedures (Data Quality 
                               Indicators)

    Monitoring the environment for airborne asbestos requires the use of 
sensitive sampling and analysis procedures. Because the test is 
sensitive, it may be influenced by a variety of factors. These include 
the supplies used in the sampling operation, the performance of the 
sampling, the preparation of the grid from the filter and the actual 
examination of this grid in the microscope. Each of these unit 
operations must produce a product of defined quality if the analytical 
result is to be a reliable and meaningful test result. Accordingly, a 
series of control checks and reference standards is performed along with 
the sample analysis as indicators that the materials used are adequate 
and the operations are within acceptable limits. In this way, the 
quality of the data is defined, and the results are of known value. 
These checks and tests also provide timely and specific warning of any 
problems which might develop within the sampling and analysis 
operations. A description of these quality control/quality assurance 
procedures is summarized in the text below.
    1. Prescreen the loaded cassette collection filters to assure that 
they do not contain concentrations of asbestos which may interfere with 
the analysis of the sample. A filter blank average of less than 18 s/
mm\2\ in an area of 0.057 mm\2\ (nominally 10 200-mesh grid openings) 
and a maximum of 53 s/mm\2\ for that same area for any single 
preparation is acceptable for this method.
    2. Calibrate sampling pumps and their flow indicators over the range 
of their intended use with a recognized standard. Assemble the sampling 
system with a representative filter--not the filter which will be used 
in sampling--before and after the sampling operation.
    3. Record all calibration information with the data to be used on a 
standard sampling form.
    4. Ensure that the samples are stored in a secure and representative 
location.
    5. Ensure that mechanical calibrations from the pump will be 
minimized to prevent transferral of vibration to the cassette.
    6. Ensure that a continuous smooth flow of negative pressure is 
delivered by the pump by installing a damping chamber if necessary.
    7. Open a loaded cassette momentarily at one of the indoor sampling 
sites when sampling is initiated. This sample will serve as an indoor 
field blank.
    8. Open a loaded cassette momentarily at one of the outdoor sampling 
sites when sampling is initiated. This sample will serve as an outdoor 
field blank.
    9. Carry a sealed blank into the field with each sample series. Do 
not open this cassette in the field.
    10. Perform a leak check of the sampling system at each indoor and 
outdoor sampling site by activating the pump with the closed sampling 
cassette in line. Any flow indicates a leak which must be eliminated 
before initiating the sampling operation.
    11. Ensure that the sampler is turned upright before interrupting 
the pump flow.
    12. Check that all samples are clearly labeled and that all 
pertinent information has been enclosed before transfer of the samples 
to the laboratory.

                           E. Sample Receiving

    1. Designate one individual as sample coordinator at the laboratory. 
While that individual will normally be available to receive samples, the 
coordinator may train and supervise others in receiving procedures for 
those times when he/she is not available.
    2. Adhere to the following procedures to ensure both the continued 
chain-of-custody and the accountability of all samples passing through 
the laboratory:
    a. Note the condition of the shipping package and data written on it 
upon receipt.
    b. Retain all bills of lading or shipping slips to document the 
shipper and delivery time.
    c. Examine the chain-of-custody seal, if any, and the package for 
its integrity.
    d. If there has been a break in the seal or substantive damage to 
the package, the sample coordinator shall immediately notify the shipper 
and a responsible laboratory manager before any action is taken to 
unpack the shipment.
    e. Packages with significant damage shall be accepted only by the 
responsible laboratory manager after discussions with the client.
    3. Unwrap the shipment in a clean, uncluttered facility. The sample 
coordinator or his or her designee will record the contents, including a 
description of each item and all identifying numbers or marks. A

[[Page 676]]

Sample Receiving Form to document this information is attached for use 
when necessary. (See the following Figure 3.)
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.010


[[Page 677]]


    Note: The person breaking the chain-of-custody seal and itemizing 
the contents assumes responsibility for the shipment and signs documents 
accordingly.

    4. Assign a laboratory number and schedule an analysis sequence.
    5. Manage all chain-of-custody samples within the laboratory such 
that their integrity can be ensured and documented.

                          F. Sample Preparation

    1. Personnel not affiliated with the Abatement Contractor shall be 
used to prepare samples and conduct TEM analysis. Wet-wipe the exterior 
of the cassettes to minimize contamination possibilities before taking 
them to the clean sample preparation facility.
    2. Perform sample preparation in a well-equipped clean facility.

    Note: The clean area is required to have the following minimum 
characteristics. The area or hood must be capable of maintaining a 
positive pressure with make-up air being HEPA filtered. The cumulative 
analytical blank concentration must average less than 18 s/mm\2\ in an 
area of 0.057 s/mm\2\ (nominally 10 200-mesh grid openings) with no more 
than one single preparation to exceed 53 s/mm\2\ for that same area.

    3. Preparation areas for air samples must be separated from 
preparation areas for bulk samples. Personnel must not prepare air 
samples if they have previously been preparing bulk samples without 
performing appropriate personal hygiene procedures, i.e., clothing 
change, showering, etc.
    4. Preparation. Direct preparation techniques are required. The 
objective is to produce an intact carbon film containing the 
particulates from the filter surface which is sufficiently clear for TEM 
analysis. Currently recommended direct preparation procedures for 
polycarbonate (PC) and mixed cellulose ester (MCE) filters are described 
in Unit III.F.7. and 8. Sample preparation is a subject requiring 
additional research. Variation on those steps which do not substantively 
change the procedure, which improve filter clearing or which reduce 
contamination problems in a laboratory are permitted.
    a. Use only TEM grids that have had grid opening areas measured 
according to directions in Unit III.J.
    b. Remove the inlet and outlet plugs prior to opening the cassette 
to minimize any pressure differential that may be present.
    c. Examples of techniques used to prepare polycarbonate filters are 
described in Unit III.F.7.
    d. Examples of techniques used to prepare mixed cellulose ester 
filters are described in Unit III.F.8.
    e. Prepare multiple grids for each sample.
    f. Store the three grids to be measured in appropriately labeled 
grid holders or polyethylene capsules.
    5. Equipment.
    a. Clean area.
    b. Tweezers. Fine-point tweezers for handling of filters and TEM 
grids.
    c. Scalpel Holder and Curved No. 10 Surgical Blades.
    d. Microscope slides.
    e. Double-coated adhesive tape.
    f. Gummed page reinforcements.
    g. Micro-pipet with disposal tips 10 to 100 L variable 
volume.
    h. Vacuum coating unit with facilities for evaporation of carbon. 
Use of a liquid nitrogen cold trap above the diffusion pump will 
minimize the possibility of contamination of the filter surface by oil 
from the pumping system. The vacuum-coating unit can also be used for 
deposition of a thin film of gold.
    i. Carbon rod electrodes. Spectrochemically pure carbon rods are 
required for use in the vacuum evaporator for carbon coating of filters.
    j. Carbon rod sharpener. This is used to sharpen carbon rods to a 
neck. The use of necked carbon rods (or equivalent) allows the carbon to 
be applied to the filters with a minimum of heating.
    k. Low-temperature plasma asher. This is used to etch the surface of 
collapsed mixed cellulose ester (MCE) filters. The asher should be 
supplied with oxygen, and should be modified as necessary to provide a 
throttle or bleed valve to control the speed of the vacuum to minimize 
disturbance of the filter. Some early models of ashers admit air too 
rapidly, which may disturb particulates on the surface of the filter 
during the etching step.
    l. Glass petri dishes, 10 cm in diameter, 1 cm high. For prevention 
of excessive evaporation of solvent when these are in use, a good seal 
must be provided between the base and the lid. The seal can be improved 
by grinding the base and lid together with an abrasive grinding 
material.
    m. Stainless steel mesh.
    n. Lens tissue.
    o. Copper 200-mesh TEM grids, 3 mm in diameter, or equivalent.
    p. Gold 200-mesh TEM grids, 3 mm in diameter, or equivalent.
    q. Condensation washer.
    r. Carbon-coated, 200-mesh TEM grids, or equivalent.
    s. Analytical balance, 0.1 mg sensitivity.
    t. Filter paper, 9 cm in diameter.
    u. Oven or slide warmer. Must be capable of maintaining a 
temperature of 65-70  deg.C.
    v. Polyurethane foam, 6 mm thickness.
    w. Gold wire for evaporation.
    6. Reagents.
    a. General. A supply of ultra-clean, fiber-free water must be 
available for washing of all components used in the analysis. Water

[[Page 678]]

that has been distilled in glass or filtered or deionized water is 
satisfactory for this purpose. Reagents must be fiber-free.
    b. Polycarbonate preparation method--chloroform.
    c. Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) preparation method--acetone or the 
Burdette procedure (Ref. 7 of Unit III.L.).
    7. TEM specimen preparation from polycarbonate filters.
    a. Specimen preparation laboratory. It is most important to ensure 
that contamination of TEM specimens by extraneous asbestos fibers is 
minimized during preparation.
    b. Cleaning of sample cassettes. Upon receipt at the analytical 
laboratory and before they are taken into the clean facility or laminar 
flow hood, the sample cassettes must be cleaned of any contamination 
adhering to the outside surfaces.
    c. Preparation of the carbon evaporator. If the polycarbonate filter 
has already been carbon-coated prior to receipt, the carbon coating step 
will be omitted, unless the analyst believes the carbon film is too 
thin. If there is a need to apply more carbon, the filter will be 
treated in the same way as an uncoated filter. Carbon coating must be 
performed with a high-vacuum coating unit. Units that are based on 
evaporation of carbon filaments in a vacuum generated only by an oil 
rotary pump have not been evaluated for this application, and must not 
be used. The carbon rods should be sharpened by a carbon rod sharpener 
to necks of about 4 mm long and 1 mm in diameter. The rods are installed 
in the evaporator in such a manner that the points are approximately 10 
to 12 cm from the surface of a microscope slide held in the rotating and 
tilting device.
    d. Selection of filter area for carbon coating. Before preparation 
of the filters, a 75 mm x 50 mm microscope slide is washed and dried. 
This slide is used to support strips of filter during the carbon 
evaporation. Two parallel strips of double-sided adhesive tape are 
applied along the length of the slide. Polycarbonate filters are easily 
stretched during handling, and cutting of areas for further preparation 
must be performed with great care. The filter and the MCE backing filter 
are removed together from the cassette and placed on a cleaned glass 
microscope slide. The filter can be cut with a curved scalpel blade by 
rocking the blade from the point placed in contact with the filter. The 
process can be repeated to cut a strip approximately 3 mm wide across 
the diameter of the filter. The strip of polycarbonate filter is 
separated from the corresponding strip of backing filter and carefully 
placed so that it bridges the gap between the adhesive tape strips on 
the microscope slide. The filter strip can be held with fine-point 
tweezers and supported underneath by the scalpel blade during placement 
on the microscope slide. The analyst can place several such strips on 
the same microscope slide, taking care to rinse and wet-wipe the scalpel 
blade and tweezers before handling a new sample. The filter strips 
should be identified by etching the glass slide or marking the slide 
using a marker insoluble in water and solvents. After the filter strip 
has been cut from each filter, the residual parts of the filter must be 
returned to the cassette and held in position by reassembly of the 
cassette. The cassette will then be archived for a period of 30 days or 
returned to the client upon request.
    e. Carbon coating of filter strips. The glass slide holding the 
filter strips is placed on the rotation-tilting device, and the 
evaporator chamber is evacuated. The evaporation must be performed in 
very short bursts, separated by some seconds to allow the electrodes to 
cool. If evaporation is too rapid, the strips of polycarbonate filter 
will begin to curl, which will lead to cross-linking of the surface 
material and make it relatively insoluble in chloroform. An experienced 
analyst can judge the thickness of carbon film to be applied, and some 
test should be made first on unused filters. If the film is too thin, 
large particles will be lost from the TEM specimen, and there will be 
few complete and undamaged grid openings on the specimen. If the coating 
is too thick, the filter will tend to curl when exposed to chloroform 
vapor and the carbon film may not adhere to the support mesh. Too thick 
a carbon film will also lead to a TEM image that is lacking in contrast, 
and the ability to obtain ED patterns will be compromised. The carbon 
film should be as thin as possible and remain intact on most of the grid 
openings of the TEM specimen intact.
    f. Preparation of the Jaffe washer. The precise design of the Jaffe 
washer is not considered important, so any one of the published designs 
may be used. A washer consisting of a simple stainless steel bridge is 
recommended. Several pieces of lens tissue approximately 1.0 cm x 0.5 cm 
are placed on the stainless steel bridge, and the washer is filled with 
chloroform to a level where the meniscus contacts the underside of the 
mesh, which results in saturation of the lens tissue. See References 8 
and 10 of Unit III.L.
    g. Placing of specimens into the Jaffe washer. The TEM grids are 
first placed on a piece of lens tissue so that individual grids can be 
picked up with tweezers. Using a curved scalpel blade, the analyst 
excises three 3 mm square pieces of the carbon-coated polycarbonate 
filter from the filter strip. The three squares are selected from the 
center of the strip and from two points between the outer periphery of 
the active surface and the center. The piece of filter is placed on a 
TEM specimen grid with the shiny side of the TEM grid facing upwards, 
and the whole assembly is placed boldly onto the saturated lens tissue 
in the Jaffe washer. If carbon-coated grids are used, the filter should 
be

[[Page 679]]

placed carbon-coated side down. The three excised squares of filters are 
placed on the same piece of lens tissue. Any number of separate pieces 
of lens tissue may be placed in the same Jaffe washer. The lid is then 
placed on the Jaffe washer, and the system is allowed to stand for 
several hours, preferably overnight.
    h. Condensation washing. It has been found that many polycarbonate 
filters will not dissolve completely in the Jaffe washer, even after 
being exposed to chloroform for as long as 3 days. This problem becomes 
more serious if the surface of the filter was overheated during the 
carbon evaporation. The presence of undissolved filter medium on the TEM 
preparation leads to partial or complete obscuration of areas of the 
sample, and fibers that may be present in these areas of the specimen 
will be overlooked; this will lead to a low result. Undissolved filter 
medium also compromises the ability to obtain ED patterns. Before they 
are counted, TEM grids must be examined critically to determine whether 
they are adequately cleared of residual filter medium. It has been found 
that condensation washing of the grids after the initial Jaffe washer 
treatment, with chloroform as the solvent, clears all residual filter 
medium in a period of approximately 1 hour. In practice, the piece of 
lens tissue supporting the specimen grids is transferred to the cold 
finger of the condensation washer, and the washer is operated for about 
1 hour. If the specimens are cleared satisfactorily by the Jaffe washer 
alone, the condensation washer step may be unnecessary.
    8. TEM specimen preparation from MCE filters.
    a. This method of preparing TEM specimens from MCE filters is 
similar to that specified in NIOSH Method 7402. See References 7, 8, and 
9 of Unit III.L.
    b. Upon receipt at the analytical laboratory, the sample cassettes 
must be cleaned of any contamination adhering to the outside surfaces 
before entering the clean sample preparation area.
    c. Remove a section from any quadrant of the sample and blank 
filters.
    d. Place the section on a clean microscope slide. Affix the filter 
section to the slide with a gummed paged reinforcement or other suitable 
means. Label the slide with a water and solvent-proof marking pen.
    e. Place the slide in a petri dish which contains several paper 
filters soaked with 2 to 3 mL acetone. Cover the dish. Wait 2 to 4 
minutes for the sample filter to fuse and clear.
    f. Plasma etching of the collapsed filter is required.
    i. The microscope slide to which the collapsed filter pieces are 
attached is placed in a plasma asher. Because plasma ashers vary greatly 
in their performance, both from unit to unit and between different 
positions in the asher chamber, it is difficult to specify the 
conditions that should be used. This is one area of the method that 
requires further evaluation. Insufficient etching will result in a 
failure to expose embedded filters, and too much etching may result in 
loss of particulate from the surface. As an interim measure, it is 
recommended that the time for ashing of a known weight of a collapsed 
filter be established and that the etching rate be calculated in terms 
of micrometers per second. The actual etching time used for a particular 
asher and operating conditions will then be set such that a 1-2 
m (10 percent) layer of collapsed surface will be removed.
    ii. Place the slide containing the collapsed filters into a low-
temperature plasma asher, and etch the filter.
    g. Transfer the slide to a rotating stage inside the bell jar of a 
vacuum evaporator. Evaporate a 1 mm x 5 mm section of graphite rod onto 
the cleared filter. Remove the slide to a clean, dry, covered petri 
dish.
    h. Prepare a second petri dish as a Jaffe washer with the wicking 
substrate prepared from filter or lens paper placed on top of a 6 mm 
thick disk of clean spongy polyurethane foam. Cut a V-notch on the edge 
of the foam and filter paper. Use the V-notch as a reservoir for adding 
solvent. The wicking substrate should be thin enough to fit into the 
petri dish without touching the lid.
    i. Place carbon-coated TEM grids face up on the filter or lens 
paper. Label the grids by marking with a pencil on the filter paper or 
by putting registration marks on the petri dish lid and marking with a 
waterproof marker on the dish lid. In a fume hood, fill the dish with 
acetone until the wicking substrate is saturated. The level of acetone 
should be just high enough to saturate the filter paper without creating 
puddles.
    j. Remove about a quarter section of the carbon-coated filter 
samples from the glass slides using a surgical knife and tweezers. 
Carefully place the section of the filter, carbon side down, on the 
appropriately labeled grid in the acetone-saturated petri dish. When all 
filter sections have been transferred, slowly add more solvent to the 
wedge-shaped trough to bring the acetone level up to the highest 
possible level without disturbing the sample preparations. Cover the 
petri dish. Elevate one side of the petri dish by placing a slide under 
it. This allows drops of condensed solvent vapors to form near the edge 
rather than in the center where they would drip onto the grid 
preparation.

                              G. TEM Method

    1. Instrumentation.
    a. Use an 80-120 kV TEM capable of performing electron diffraction 
with a fluorescent screen inscribed with calibrated gradations. If the 
TEM is equipped with EDXA it must either have a STEM attachment or be 
capable of producing a spot less than 250 nm

[[Page 680]]

in diameter at crossover. The microscope shall be calibrated routinely 
(see Unit III.J.) for magnification and camera constant.
    b. While not required on every microscope in the laboratory, the 
laboratory must have either one microscope equipped with energy 
dispersive X-ray analysis or access to an equivalent system on a TEM in 
another laboratory. This must be an Energy Dispersive X-ray Detector 
mounted on TEM column and associated hardware/software to collect, save, 
and read out spectral information. Calibration of Multi-Channel Analyzer 
shall be checked regularly for A1 at 1.48 KeV and Cu at 8.04 KeV, as 
well as the manufacturer's procedures.
    i. Standard replica grating may be used to determine magnification 
(e.g., 2160 lines/mm).
    ii. Gold standard may be used to determine camera constant.
    c. Use a specimen holder with single tilt and/or double tilt 
capabilities.
    2. Procedure.
    a. Start a new Count Sheet for each sample to be analyzed. Record on 
count sheet: analyst's initials and date; lab sample number; client 
sample number microscope identification; magnification for analysis; 
number of predetermined grid openings to be analyzed; and grid 
identification. See the following Figure 4:

[[Page 681]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.011


    b. Check that the microscope is properly aligned and calibrated 
according to the manufacturer's specifications and instructions.
    c. Microscope settings: 80-120 kV, grid assessment 250-1000X, then 
15,000-20,000X screen magnification for analysis.
    d. Approximately one-half (0.5) of the predetermined sample area to 
be analyzed shall be performed on one sample grid preparation and the 
remaining half on a second sample grid preparation.
    e. Determine the suitability of the grid.

[[Page 682]]

    i. Individual grid openings with greater than 5 percent openings 
(holes) or covered with greater than 25 percent particulate matter or 
obviously having nonuniform loading shall not be analyzed.
    ii. Examine the grid at low magnification (<1000X) to determine its 
suitability for detailed study at higher magnifications.
    iii. Reject the grid if:
    (1) Less than 50 percent of the grid openings covered by the replica 
are intact.
    (2) It is doubled or folded.
    (3) It is too dark because of incomplete dissolution of the filter.
    iv. If the grid is rejected, load the next sample grid.
    v. If the grid is acceptable, continue on to Step 6 if mapping is to 
be used; otherwise proceed to Step 7.
    f. Grid Map (Optional).
    i. Set the TEM to the low magnification mode.
    ii. Use flat edge or finder grids for mapping.
    iii. Index the grid openings (fields) to be counted by marking the 
acceptable fields for one-half (0.5) of the area needed for analysis on 
each of the two grids to be analyzed. These may be marked just before 
examining each grid opening (field), if desired.
    iv. Draw in any details which will allow the grid to be properly 
oriented if it is reloaded into the microscope and a particular field is 
to be reliably identified.
    g. Scan the grid.
    i. Select a field to start the examination.
    ii. Choose the appropriate magnification (15,000 to 20,000X screen 
magnification).
    iii. Scan the grid as follows.
    (1) At the selected magnification, make a series of parallel 
traverses across the field. On reaching the end of one traverse, move 
the image one window and reverse the traverse.

    Note: A slight overlap should be used so as not to miss any part of 
the grid opening (field).

    (2) Make parallel traverses until the entire grid opening (field) 
has been scanned.
    h. Identify each structure for appearance and size.
    i. Appearance and size: Any continuous grouping of particles in 
which an asbestos fiber within aspect ratio greater than or equal to 5:1 
and a length greater than or equal to 0.5 m is detected shall 
be recorded on the count sheet. These will be designated asbestos 
structures and will be classified as fibers, bundles, clusters, or 
matrices. Record as individual fibers any contiguous grouping having 0, 
1, or 2 definable intersections. Groupings having more than 2 
intersections are to be described as cluster or matrix. See the 
following Figure 5:

[[Page 683]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.012



[[Page 684]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.013


An intersection is a non-parallel touching or crossing of fibers, with 
the projection having an aspect ratio of 5:1 or greater. Combinations 
such as a matrix and cluster, matrix and bundle, or bundle and cluster 
are categorized by the dominant fiber quality--cluster, bundle, and 
matrix, respectively. Separate categories will be maintained for fibers 
less than 5 m and for fibers greater than or equal to 5 
m in length. Not required, but useful, may be to record the 
fiber length in 1 m intervals. (Identify each structure 
morphologically and analyze it as it enters the ``window''.)
    (1) Fiber. A structure having a minimum length greater than 0.5 
m and an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or greater and 
substantially parallel sides. Note the appearance of the end of the 
fiber, i.e., whether it is flat, rounded or dovetailed, no 
intersections.
    (2) Bundle. A structure composed of 3 or more fibers in a parallel 
arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    (3) Cluster. A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group; groupings must have more than 2 intersections.

[[Page 685]]

    (4) Matrix. Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    (5) NSD. Record NSD when no structures are detected in the field.
    (6) Intersection. Non-parallel touching or crossing of fibers, with 
the projection having an aspect ratio 5:1 or greater.
    ii. Structure Measurement.
    (1) Recognize the structure that is to be sized.
    (2) Memorize its location in the ``window'' relative to the sides, 
inscribed square and to other particulates in the field so this exact 
location can be found again when scanning is resumed.
    (3) Measure the structure using the scale on the screen.
    (4) Record the length category and structure type classification on 
the count sheet after the field number and fiber number.
    (5) Return the fiber to its original location in the window and scan 
the rest of the field for other fibers; if the direction of travel is 
not remembered, return to the right side of the field and begin the 
traverse again.
    i. Visual identification of Electron Diffraction (ED) patterns is 
required for each asbestos structure counted which would cause the 
analysis to exceed the 70 s/mm\2\ concentration. (Generally this means 
the first four fibers identified as asbestos must exhibit an 
identifiable diffraction pattern for chrysotile or amphibole.)
    i. Center the structure, focus, and obtain an ED pattern. (See 
Microscope Instruction Manual for more detailed instructions.)
    ii. From a visual examination of the ED pattern, obtained with a 
short camera length, classify the observed structure as belonging to one 
of the following classifications: chrysotile, amphibole, or nonasbestos.
    (1) Chrysotile: The chrysotile asbestos pattern has characteristic 
streaks on the layer lines other than the central line and some 
streaking also on the central line. There will be spots of normal 
sharpness on the central layer line and on alternate lines (2nd, 4th, 
etc.). The repeat distance between layer lines is 0.53 nm and the center 
doublet is at 0.73 nm. The pattern should display (002), (110), (130) 
diffraction maxima; distances and geometry should match a chrysotile 
pattern and be measured semiquantitatively.
    (2) Amphibole Group [includes grunerite (amosite), crocidolite, 
anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite]: Amphibole asbestos fiber 
patterns show layer lines formed by very closely spaced dots, and the 
repeat distance between layer lines is also about 0.53 nm. Streaking in 
layer lines is occasionally present due to crystal structure defects.
    (3) Nonasbestos: Incomplete or unobtainable ED patterns, a 
nonasbestos EDXA, or a nonasbestos morphology.
    iii. The micrograph number of the recorded diffraction patterns must 
be reported to the client and maintained in the laboratory's quality 
assurance records. The records must also demonstrate that the 
identification of the pattern has been verified by a qualified 
individual and that the operator who made the identification is 
maintaining at least an 80 percent correct visual identification based 
on his measured patterns. In the event that examination of the pattern 
by the qualified individual indicates that the pattern had been 
misidentified visually, the client shall be contacted. If the pattern is 
a suspected chrysotile, take a photograph of the diffraction pattern at 
0 degrees tilt. If the structure is suspected to be amphibole, the 
sample may have to be tilted to obtain a simple geometric array of 
spots.
    j. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDXA).
    i. Required of all amphiboles which would cause the analysis results 
to exceed the 70 s/mm\2\ concentration. (Generally speaking, the first 4 
amphiboles would require EDXA.)
    ii. Can be used alone to confirm chrysotile after the 70 s/mm\2\ 
concentration has been exceeded.
    iii. Can be used alone to confirm all nonasbestos.
    iv. Compare spectrum profiles with profiles obtained from asbestos 
standards. The closest match identifies and categorizes the structure.
    v. If the EDXA is used for confirmation, record the properly labeled 
spectrum on a computer disk, or if a hard copy, file with analysis data.
    vi. If the number of fibers in the nonasbestos class would cause the 
analysis to exceed the 70 s/mm\2\ concentration, their identities must 
be confirmed by EDXA or measurement of a zone axis diffraction pattern 
to establish that the particles are nonasbestos.
    k. Stopping Rules.
    i. If more than 50 asbestiform structures are counted in a 
particular grid opening, the analysis may be terminated.
    ii. After having counted 50 asbestiform structures in a minimum of 4 
grid openings, the analysis may be terminated. The grid opening in which 
the 50th fiber was counted must be completed.
    iii. For blank samples, the analysis is always continued until 10 
grid openings have been analyzed.
    iv. In all other samples the analysis shall be continued until an 
analytical sensitivity of 0.005 s/cm\3\ is reached.
    l. Recording Rules. The count sheet should contain the following 
information:
    i. Field (grid opening): List field number.
    ii. Record ``NSD'' if no structures are detected.
    iii. Structure information.

[[Page 686]]

    (1) If fibers, bundles, clusters, and/or matrices are found, list 
them in consecutive numerical order, starting over with each field.
    (2) Length. Record length category of asbestos fibers examined. 
Indicate if less than 5 m or greater than or equal to 5 
m.
    (3) Structure Type. Positive identification of asbestos fibers is 
required by the method. At least one diffraction pattern of each fiber 
type from every five samples must be recorded and compared with a 
standard diffraction pattern. For each asbestos fiber reported, both a 
morphological descriptor and an identification descriptor shall be 
specified on the count sheet.
    (4) Fibers classified as chrysotile must be identified by 
diffraction and/or X-ray analysis and recorded on the count sheet. X-ray 
analysis alone can be used as sole identification only after 70s/mm\2\ 
have been exceeded for a particular sample.
    (5) Fibers classified as amphiboles must be identified by X-ray 
analysis and electron diffraction and recorded on the count sheet. (X-
ray analysis alone can be used as sole identification only after 70s/
mm\2\ have been exceeded for a particular sample.)
    (6) If a diffraction pattern was recorded on film, the micrograph 
number must be indicated on the count sheet.
    (7) If an electron diffraction was attempted and an appropriate 
spectra is not observed, N should be recorded on the count sheet.
    (8) If an X-ray analysis is attempted but not observed, N should be 
recorded on the count sheet.
    (9) If an X-ray analysis spectrum is stored, the file and disk 
number must be recorded on the count sheet.
    m. Classification Rules.
    i. Fiber. A structure having a minimum length greater than or equal 
to 0.5 m and an aspect ratio (length to width) of 5:1 or 
greater and substantially parallel sides. Note the appearance of the end 
of the fiber, i.e., whether it is flat, rounded or dovetailed.
    ii. Bundle. A structure composed of three or more fibers in a 
parallel arrangement with each fiber closer than one fiber diameter.
    iii. Cluster. A structure with fibers in a random arrangement such 
that all fibers are intermixed and no single fiber is isolated from the 
group. Groupings must have more than two intersections.
    iv. Matrix. Fiber or fibers with one end free and the other end 
embedded in or hidden by a particulate. The exposed fiber must meet the 
fiber definition.
    v. NSD. Record NSD when no structures are detected in the field.
    n. After all necessary analyses of a particle structure have been 
completed, return the goniometer stage to 0 degrees, and return the 
structure to its original location by recall of the original location.
    o. Continue scanning until all the structures are identified, 
classified and sized in the field.
    p. Select additional fields (grid openings) at low magnification; 
scan at a chosen magnification (15,000 to 20,000X screen magnification); 
and analyze until the stopping rule becomes applicable.
    q. Carefully record all data as they are being collected, and check 
for accuracy.
    r. After finishing with a grid, remove it from the microscope, and 
replace it in the appropriate grid hold. Sample grids must be stored for 
a minimum of 1 year from the date of the analysis; the sample cassette 
must be retained for a minimum of 30 days by the laboratory or returned 
at the client's request.

                      H. Sample Analytical Sequence

    1. Carry out visual inspection of work site prior to air monitoring.
    2. Collect a minimum of five air samples inside the work site and 
five samples outside the work site. The indoor and outdoor samples shall 
be taken during the same time period.
    3. Analyze the abatement area samples according to this protocol. 
The analysis must meet the 0.005 s/cm\3\ analytical sensitivity.
    4. Remaining steps in the analytical sequence are contained in Unit 
IV. of this Appendix.

                              I. Reporting

    The following information must be reported to the client. See the 
following Table II:

[[Page 687]]

    1. Concentration in structures per square millimeter and structures 
per cubic centimeter.
    2. Analytical sensitivity used for the analysis.
    3. Number of asbestos structures.
    4. Area analyzed.
    5. Volume of air samples (which was initially provided by client).
    6. Average grid size opening.
    7. Number of grids analyzed.
    8. Copy of the count sheet must be included with the report.

[[Page 688]]

    9. Signature of laboratory official to indicate that the laboratory 
met specifications of the AHERA method.
    10. Report form must contain official laboratory identification 
(e.g., letterhead).
    11. Type of asbestos.

                       J. Calibration Methodology

    Note: Appropriate implementation of the method requires a person 
knowledgeable in electron diffraction and mineral identification by ED 
and EDXA. Those inexperienced laboratories wishing to develop 
capabilities may acquire necessary knowledge through analysis of 
appropriate standards and by following detailed methods as described in 
References 8 and 10 of Unit III.L.

    1. Equipment Calibration. In this method, calibration is required 
for the air-sampling equipment and the transmission electron microscope 
(TEM).
    a. TEM Magnification. The magnification at the fluorescent screen of 
the TEM must be calibrated at the grid opening magnification (if used) 
and also at the magnification used for fiber counting. This is performed 
with a cross grating replica. A logbook must be maintained, and the 
dates of calibration depend on the past history of the particular 
microscope; no frequency is specified. After any maintenance of the 
microscope that involved adjustment of the power supplied to the lenses 
or the high-voltage system or the mechanical disassembly of the electron 
optical column apart from filament exchange, the magnification must be 
recalibrated. Before the TEM calibration is performed, the analyst must 
ensure that the cross grating replica is placed at the same distance 
from the objective lens as the specimens are. For instruments that 
incorporate an eucentric tilting specimen stage, all speciments and the 
cross grating replica must be placed at the eucentric position.
    b. Determination of the TEM magnification on the fluorescent screen.
    i. Define a field of view on the fluorescent screen either by 
markings or physical boundaries. The field of view must be measurable or 
previously inscribed with a scale or concentric circles (all scales 
should be metric).
    ii. Insert a diffraction grating replica (for example a grating 
containing 2,160 lines/mm) into the specimen holder and place into the 
microscope. Orient the replica so that the grating lines fall 
perpendicular to the scale on the TEM fluorescent screen. Ensure that 
the goniometer stage tilt is 0 degrees.
    iii. Adjust microscope magnification to 10,000X or 20,000X. Measure 
the distance (mm) between two widely separated lines on the grating 
replica. Note the number of spaces between the lines. Take care to 
measure between the same relative positions on the lines (e.g., between 
left edges of lines).

    Note: The more spaces included in the measurement, the more accurate 
the final calculation. On most microscopes, however, the magnification 
is substantially constant only within the central 8-10 cm diameter 
region of the fluorescent screen.

    iv. Calculate the true magnification (M) on the fluorescent screen:

        M=XG/Y

where:
X=total distance (mm) between the designated grating lines;
G=calibration constant of the grating replica (lines/mm):
Y=number of grating replica spaces counted along X.

    c. Calibration of the EDXA System. Initially, the EDXA system must 
be calibrated by using two reference elements to calibrate the energy 
scale of the instrument. When this has been completed in accordance with 
the manufacturer's instructions, calibration in terms of the different 
types of asbestos can proceed. The EDXA detectors vary in both solid 
angle of detection and in window thickness. Therefore, at a particular 
accelerating voltage in use on the TEM, the count rate obtained from 
specific dimensions of fiber will vary both in absolute X-ray count rate 
and in the relative X-ray peak heights for different elements. Only a 
few minerals are relevant for asbestos abatement work, and in this 
procedure the calibration is specified in terms of a ``fingerprint'' 
technique. The EDXA spectra must be recorded from individual fibers of 
the relevant minerals, and identifications are made on the basis of 
semiquantitative comparisons with these reference spectra.
    d. Calibration of Grid Openings.
    i. Measure 20 grid openings on each of 20 random 200-mesh copper 
grids by placing a grid on a glass slide and examining it under the PCM. 
Use a calibrated graticule to measure the average field diameter and use 
this number to calculate the field area for an average grid opening. 
Grids are to be randomly selected from batches up to 1,000.

    Note: A grid opening is considered as one field.

    ii. The mean grid opening area must be measured for the type of 
specimen grids in use. This can be accomplished on the TEM at a properly 
calibrated low magnification or on an optical microscope at a 
magnification of approximately 400X by using an eyepiece fitted with a 
scale that has been calibrated against a stage micrometer. Optical 
microscopy utilizing manual or automated procedures may be used 
providing instrument calibration can be verified.
    e. Determination of Camera Constant and ED Pattern Analysis.
    i. The camera length of the TEM in ED operating mode must be 
calibrated before ED

[[Page 689]]

patterns on unknown samples are observed. This can be achieved by using 
a carbon-coated grid on which a thin film of gold has been sputtered or 
evaporated. A thin film of gold is evaporated on the specimen TEM grid 
to obtain zone-axis ED patterns superimposed with a ring pattern from 
the polycrystalline gold film.
    ii. In practice, it is desirable to optimize the thickness of the 
gold film so that only one or two sharp rings are obtained on the 
superimposed ED pattern. Thicker gold film would normally give multiple 
gold rings, but it will tend to mask weaker diffraction spots from the 
unknown fibrous particulates. Since the unknown d-spacings of most 
interest in asbestos analysis are those which lie closest to the 
transmitted beam, multiple gold rings are unnecessary on zone-axis ED 
patterns. An average camera constant using multiple gold rings can be 
determined. The camera constant is one-half the diameter, D, of the 
rings times the interplanar spacing, d, of the ring being measured.

     K. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Procedures (Data Quality 
                               Indicators)

    Monitoring the environment for airborne asbestos requires the use of 
sensitive sampling and analysis procedures. Because the test is 
sensitive, it may be influenced by a variety of factors. These include 
the supplies used in the sampling operation, the performance of the 
sampling, the preparation of the grid from the filter and the actual 
examination of this grid in the microscope. Each of these unit 
operations must produce a product of defined quality if the analytical 
result is to be a reliable and meaningful test result. Accordingly, a 
series of control checks and reference standards is performed along with 
the sample analysis as indicators that the materials used are adequate 
and the operations are within acceptable limits. In this way, the 
quality of the data is defined and the results are of known value. These 
checks and tests also provide timely and specific warning of any 
problems which might develop within the sampling and analysis 
operations. A description of these quality control/quality assurance 
procedures is summarized in the following Table III:

[[Page 690]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.015


    1. When the samples arrive at the laboratory, check the samples and 
documentation for completeness and requirements before initiating the 
analysis.
    2. Check all laboratory reagents and supplies for acceptable 
asbestos background levels.
    3. Conduct all sample preparation in a clean room environment 
monitored by laboratory blanks and special testing after cleaning or 
servicing the room.
    4. Prepare multiple grids of each sample.
    5. Provide laboratory blanks with each sample batch. Maintain a 
cumulative average of these results. If this average is greater than 53 
f/mm \2\ per 10 200-mesh grid openings, check the system for possible 
sources of contamination.
    6. Check for recovery of asbestos from cellulose ester filters 
submitted to plasma asher.
    7. Check for asbestos carryover in the plasma asher by including a 
blank alongside the positive control sample.

[[Page 691]]

    8. Perform a systems check on the transmission electron microscope 
daily.
    9. Make periodic performance checks of magnification, electron 
diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray systems as set forth in Table 
III of Unit III.K.
    10. Ensure qualified operator performance by evaluation of replicate 
counting, duplicate analysis, and standard sample comparisons as set 
forth in Table III of Unit III.K.
    11. Validate all data entries.
    12. Recalculate a percentage of all computations and automatic data 
reduction steps as specified in Table III.
    13. Record an electron diffraction pattern of one asbestos structure 
from every five samples that contain asbestos. Verify the identification 
of the pattern by measurement or comparison of the pattern with patterns 
collected from standards under the same conditions.

The outline of quality control procedures presented above is viewed as 
the minimum required to assure that quality data is produced for 
clearance testing of an asbestos abated area. Additional information may 
be gained by other control tests. Specifics on those control procedures 
and options available for environmental testing can be obtained by 
consulting References 6, 7, and 11 of Unit III.L.

IV. Mandatory Interpretation of Transmission Electron Microscopy Results 
               to Determine Completion of Response Actions

                             A. Introduction

    A response action is determined to be completed by TEM when the 
abatement area has been cleaned and the airborne asbestos concentration 
inside the abatement area is no higher than concentrations at locations 
outside the abatement area. ``Outside'' means outside the abatement 
area, but not necessarily outside the building. EPA reasons that an 
asbestos removal contractor cannot be expected to clean an abatement 
area to an airborne asbestos concentration that is lower than the 
concentration of air entering the abatement area from outdoors or from 
other parts of the building. After the abatement area has passed a 
thorough visual inspection, and before the outer containment barrier is 
removed, a minimum of five air samples inside the abatement area and a 
minimum of five air samples outside the abatement area must be 
collected. Hence, the response action is determined to be completed when 
the average airborne asbestos concentration measured inside the 
abatement area is not statistically different from the average airborne 
asbestos concentration measured outside the abatement area.
    The inside and outside concentrations are compared by the Z-test, a 
statistical test that takes into account the variability in the 
measurement process. A minimum of five samples inside the abatement area 
and five samples outside the abatement area are required to control the 
false negative error rate, i.e., the probability of declaring the 
removal complete when, in fact, the air concentration inside the 
abatement area is significantly higher than outside the abatement area. 
Additional quality control is provided by requiring three blanks 
(filters through which no air has been drawn) to be analyzed to check 
for unusually high filter contamination that would distort the test 
results.
    When volumes greater than or equal to 1,199 L for a 25 mm filter and 
2,799 L for a 37 mm filter have been collected and the average number of 
asbestos structures on samples inside the abatement  area  is  no  
greater than 70 s/mm \2\ of filter, the response action

[[Page 692]]

may be considered complete without comparing the inside samples to the 
outside samples. EPA is permitting this initial screening test to save 
analysis costs in situations where the airborne asbestos concentration 
is sufficiently low so that it cannot be distinguished from the filter 
contamination/background level (fibers deposited on the filter that are 
unrelated to the air being sampled). The screening test cannot be used 
when volumes of less than 1,199 L for 25 mm filter or 2,799 L for a 37 
mm filter are collected because the ability to distinguish levels 
significantly different from filter background is reduced at low 
volumes.
    The initial screening test is expressed in structures per square 
millimeter of filter because filter background levels come from sources 
other than the air being sampled and cannot be meaningfully expressed as 
a concentration per cubic centimeter of air. The value of 70 s/mm\2\ is 
based on the experience of the panel of microscopists who consider one 
structure in 10 grid openings (each grid opening with an area of 0.0057 
mm\2\) to be comparable with contamination/background levels of blank 
filters. The decision is based, in part, on Poisson statistics which 
indicate that four structures must be counted on a filter before the 
fiber count is statistically distinguishable from the count for one 
structure. As more information on the performance of the method is 
collected, this criterion may be modified. Since different combinations 
of the number and size of grid openings are permitted under the TEM 
protocol, the criterion is expressed in structures per square millimeter 
of filter to be consistent across all combinations. Four structures per 
10 grid openings corresponds to approximately 70 s/mm\2\.

                    B. Sample Collection and Analysis

    1. A minimum of 13 samples is required: five samples collected 
inside the abatement area, five samples collected outside the abatement 
area, two field blanks, and one sealed blank.
    2. Sampling and TEM analysis must be done according to either the 
mandatory or nonmandatory protocols in Appendix A. At least 0.057 mm\2\ 
of filter must be examined on blank filters.

                      C. Interpretation of Results

    1. The response action shall be considered complete if either:
    a. Each sample collected inside the abatement area consists of at 
least 1,199 L of air for a 25 mm filter, or 2,799 L of air for a 37 mm 
filter, and the arithmetic mean of their asbestos structure 
concentrations per square millimeter of filter is less than or equal to 
70 s/mm\2\; or
    b. The three blank samples have an arithmetic mean of the asbestos 
structure concentration on the blank filters  that  is  less  than  or 
equal to 70 s/mm\2\ and the average airborne asbestos concentration 
measured inside the abatement area is not statistically higher than the 
average airborne asbestos concentration measured outside the abatement 
area as determined by the Z-test. The Z-test is carried out by 
calculating
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.016

where YI is the average of the natural logarithms of the 
inside samples and YO is the average of the natural 
logarithms of the outside samples, nI is the number of inside 
samples and nO is the number of outside samples. The response 
action is considered complete if Z is less than or equal to 1.65.

    Note: When no fibers are counted, the calculated detection limit for 
that analysis is inserted for the concentration.

    2. If the abatement site does not satisfy either (1) or (2) of this 
Section C, the site must be recleaned and a new set of samples 
collected.

                    D. Sequence for Analyzing Samples

    It is possible to determine completion of the response action 
without analyzing all samples. Also, at any point in the process, a 
decision may be made to terminate the analysis of existing samples, 
reclean the abatement site, and collect a new set of samples. The 
following sequence is outlined to minimize the number of analyses needed 
to reach a decision.
    1. Analyze the inside samples.
    2. If at least 1,199 L of air for a 25 mm filter or 2,799 L of air 
for a 37 mm filter is collected for each inside sample and the 
arithmetic mean concentration of structures per square millimeter of 
filter is less than or equal to 70 s/mm\2\, the response action is 
complete and no further analysis is needed.
    3. If less than 1,199 L of air for a 25 mm filter or 2,799 L of air 
for a 37 mm filter is collected for any of the inside samples, or the 
arithmetic mean concentration of structures per square millimeter  of  
filter  is  greater  than 70 s/mm\2\, analyze the three blanks.
    4. If the arithmetic mean concentration of structures per square 
millimeter on the blank filters is greater than 70 s/mm\2\, terminate 
the analysis, identify and correct the source of blank contamination, 
and collect a new set of samples.
    5. If the arithmetic mean concentration of structures per square 
millimeter on the blank filters is less than or equal to 70 s/mm\2\, 
analyze the outside samples and perform the Z-test.

[[Page 693]]

    6. If the Z-statistic is less than or equal to 1.65, the response 
action is complete. If the Z-statistic is greater than 1.65, reclean the 
abatement site and collect a new set of samples.

  Appendix B to Subpart E--Work Practices and Engineering Controls for 
  Small-Scale, Short-Duration Operations Maintenance and Repair (O.M) 
                        Activities Involving ACM

    This appendix is not mandatory, in that LEAs may choose to comply 
with all the requirements of 40 CFR 763.121. Section 763.91(b) extends 
the protection provided by EPA in its 40 CFR 763.121 for worker 
protection during asbestos abatement projects to employees of local 
education agencies who perform small-scale, short-duration operations, 
maintenance and repair (O&M) activities involving asbestos-containing 
materials and are not covered by the OSHA asbestos construction standard 
at 29 CFR 1926.58 or an asbestos worker protection standard adopted by a 
State as part of a State plan approved by OSHA under section 18 of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act. Employers wishing to be exempt from 
the requirements of Sec. 763.121 (e)(6) and (f)(2)(i) may instead comply 
with the provisions of this appendix when performing small-scale, short-
duration O&M activities.

          Definition of Small-Scale, Short-Duration Activities

    For the purposes of this appendix, small-scale, short-duration 
maintenance activities are tasks such as, but not limited to:
    1. Removal of asbestos-containing insulation on pipes.
    2. Removal of small quantities of asbestos-containing insulation on 
beams or above ceilings.
    3. Replacement of an asbestos-containing gasket on a valve.
    4. Installation or removal of a small section of drywall.
    5. Installation of electrical conduits through or proximate to 
asbestos-containing materials.
    Small-scale, short-duration maintenance activities can be further 
defined, for the purposes of this subpart, by the following 
considerations:
    1. Removal of small quantities of asbestos-containing materials 
(ACM) only if required in the performance of another maintenance 
activity not intended as asbestos abatement.
    2. Removal of asbestos-containing thermal system insulation not to 
exceed amounts greater than those which can be contained in a single 
glove bag.
    3. Minor repairs to damaged thermal system insulation which do not 
require removal.
    4. Repairs to a piece of asbestos-containing wallboard.
    5. Repairs, involving encapsulation, enclosure or removal, to small 
amounts of friable asbestos-containing material only if required in the 
performance of emergency or routine maintenance activity and not 
intended solely as asbestos abatement. Such work may not exceed amounts 
greater than those which can be contained in a single prefabricated 
minienclosure. Such an enclosure shall conform spatially and 
geometrically to the localized work area, in order to perform its 
intended containment function.
    OSHA concluded that the use of certain engineering and work practice 
controls is capable of reducing employee exposures to asbestos to levels 
below the  final  standard's  action  level  (0.1 f/cm\3\). (See 51 FR 
22714, June 20, 1986.) Several controls and work practices, used either 
singly or in combination, can be employed effectively to reduce asbestos 
exposures during small maintenance and renovation operations. These 
include:
    1. Wet methods.
    2. Removal methods.
    i. Use of glove bags.
    ii. Removal of entire asbestos insulated pipes or structures.
    iii. Use of minienclosures.
    3. Enclosure of asbestos materials.
    4. Maintenance programs.
    This appendix describes these controls and work practices in detail.

   Preparation of the Area Before Renovation or Maintenance Activities

    The first step in preparing to perform a small-scale, short-duration 
asbestos renovation or maintenance task, regardless of the abatement 
method that will be used, is the removal from the work area of all 
objects that are movable to protect them from asbestos contamination. 
Objects that cannot be removed must be covered completely with 6-mil-
thick polyethylene plastic sheeting before the task begins. If objects 
have already been contaminated, they should be thoroughly cleaned with a 
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum or be wet-wiped 
before they are removed from the work area or completely encased in the 
plastic.
    Wet methods. Whenever feasible, and regardless of the abatement 
method to be used (e.g., removal, enclosure, use of glove bags), wet 
methods must be used during small-scale, short-duration maintenance and 
renovation activities that involve disturbing asbestos-containing 
materials. Handling asbestos materials wet is one of the most reliable 
methods of ensuring that asbestos fibers do not become airborne, and 
this practice should therefore be used whenever feasible.

[[Page 694]]

Wet methods can be used in the great majority of workplace situations. 
Only in cases where asbestos work must be performed on live electrical 
equipment, on live steam lines, or in other areas where water will 
seriously damage materials or equipment may dry removal be performed. 
Amended water or another wetting agent should be applied by means of an 
airless sprayer to minimize the extent to which the asbestos-containing 
material is disturbed.
    Asbestos-containing material should be wetted from the initiation of 
the maintenance or renovation operation and wetting agents should be 
used continually throughout the work period to ensure that any dry 
asbestos-containing material exposed in the course of the work is wet 
and remains wet until final disposal.
    Removal of small amount of asbestos-containing materials. Several 
methods can be used to remove small amounts of asbestos-containing 
materials during small-scale, short-duration renovation or maintenance 
tasks. These include the use of glove bags, the removal of an entire 
asbestos-covered pipe or structure, and the construction of 
minienclosures. The procedures that employers must use for each of these 
operations if they wish to avail themselves of the rule's exemptions are 
described in the following sections.
    Glove bags. OSHA found that the use of glove bags to enclose the 
work area during small-scale, short-duration maintenance or renovation 
activities will result in employee exposure to asbestos that are below 
the rule's action level of 0.1 f/cm \3\. This appendix provides 
requirements for glove-bag procedures to be followed by employers 
wishing to avail themselves of the rule's exemption for each activity. 
OSHA has determined that the use of these procedures will reduce the 8-
hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure of employees involved in these 
work operations to levels below the action level and will thus provide a 
degree of employee protection equivalent to that provided by compliance 
with all provisions of the rule.
    Glove bag installation. Glove bags are approximately 40-inch-wide 
times 64-inch-long bags fitted with arms through which the work can be 
performed. When properly installed and used, they permit workers to 
remain completely isolated from the asbestos material removed or 
replaced inside the bag. Glove bags can thus provide a flexible, easily 
installed, and quickly dismantled temporary small work area enclosure 
that is ideal for small-scale asbestos renovation or maintenance jobs. 
These bags are single-use control devices that are disposed of at the 
end of each job. The bags are made of transparent 6-mil-thick 
polyethylene plastic with areas of Tyvek \1\ material (the same material 
used to make the disposal protective suits used in major asbestos 
removal, renovation, and demolition operations and in protective 
gloves). Glove bags are readily available from safety supply stores or 
specialty asbestos removal supply houses. Glove bags come pre-labelled 
with the asbestos warning label prescribed by OSHA and EPA for bags used 
to dispose of asbestos waste.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


    \1\ Mention of trade names or commercial products does not 
constitute endorsement or recommendation for use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Glove bag equipment and supplies. Supplies and materials that are 
necessary to use glove bags effectively include:
    1. Tape to seal glove bag to the area from which asbestos is to be 
removed.
    2. Amended water or other wetting agents.
    3. An airless sprayer for the application of the wetting agent.
    4. Bridging encapsulant (a paste-like substance for coating 
asbestos) to seal the rough edges of any asbestos-containing materials 
that remain within the glove bag at the points of attachment after the 
rest of the asbestos has been removed.
    5. Tools such as razor knives, nips, and wire brushes (or other 
tools suitable for cutting wires, etc.).
    6. A HEPA filter-equipped vacuum for evacuating the glove bag (to 
minimize the release of asbestos fibers) during removal of the bag from 
the work area and for cleaning any material that may have escaped during 
the installation of the glove bag.
    7. HEPA-equipped dual-cartridge or more protective respirators for 
use by the employees involved in the removal of asbestos with the glove 
bag.
    Glove bag work practices. The proper use of glove bags requires the 
following steps:
    1. Glove bags must be installed so that they completely cover the 
pipe or other structure where asbestos work is to be done. Glove bags 
are installed by cutting the sides of the glove bag to fit the size of 
the pipe from which asbestos is to be removed. The glove bag is attached 
to the pipe by folding the open edges together and securely sealing them 
with tape. All openings in the glove bag must be sealed with duct tape 
or equivalent material. The bottom seam of the glove bag must also be 
sealed with duct tape or equivalent to prevent any leakage from the bag 
that may result from a defect in the bottom seam.
    2. The employee who is performing the asbestos removal with the 
glove bag must don at least a half mask dual-cartridge HEPA-equipped 
respirator; respirators should be worn by employees who are in close 
contact with the glove bag and who may thus be exposed as a result of 
small gaps in the seams of the bag or holes punched through the bag by a 
razor knife or a piece of wire mesh.

[[Page 695]]

    3. The removed asbestos material from the pipe or other surface that 
has fallen into the enclosed bag must be thoroughly wetted with a 
wetting agent (applied with an airless sprayer through the precut port 
provided in most gloves bags or applied through a small hole in the 
bag).
    4. Once the asbestos material has been thoroughly wetted, it can be 
removed from the pipe, beam, or other surface. The choice of tool to use 
to remove the asbestos-containing material depends on the type of 
material to be removed. Asbestos-containing materials are generally 
covered with painted canvas and/or wire mesh. Painted canvas can be cut 
with a razor knife and peeled away from the asbestos-containing material 
underneath. Once the canvas has been peeled away, the asbestos-
containing material underneath may be dry, in which case it should be 
resprayed with a wetting agent to ensure that it generates as little 
dust as possible when removed. If the asbestos-containing material is 
covered with wire mesh, the mesh should be cut with nips, tin snips, or 
other appropriate tool and removed.

A wetting agent must then be used to spray any layer of dry material 
that is exposed beneath the mesh, the surface of the stripped underlying 
structure, and the inside of the glove bag.
    5. After removal of the layer of asbestos-containing material, the 
pipe or surface from which asbestos has been removed must be thoroughly 
cleaned with a wire brush and wet-wiped with a wetting agent until no 
traces of the asbestos-containing material can be seen.
    6. Any asbestos-containing insulation edges that have been exposed 
as a result of the removal or maintenance activity must be encapsulated 
with bridging encapsulant to ensure that the edges do not release 
asbestos fibers to the atmosphere after the glove bag has been removed.
    7. When the asbestos removal and encapsulation have been completed, 
a vacuum hose from a HEPA filtered vacuum must be inserted into the 
glove bag through the port to remove any air in the bag that may contain 
asbestos fibers. When the air has been removed from the bag, the bag 
should be squeezed tightly (as close to the top as possible), twisted, 
and sealed with tape, to keep the asbestos materials safely in the 
bottom of the bag. The HEPA vacuum can then be removed from the bag and 
the glove bag itself can be removed from the work area to be disposed of 
properly.
    Minienclosures. In some instances, such as removal of asbestos from 
a small ventilation system or from a short length of duct, a glove bag 
may not be either large enough or of the proper shape to enclose the 
work area. In such cases, a minienclosure can be built around the area 
where small-scale, short-duration asbestos maintenance or renovation 
work is to be performed. Such enclosures should be constructed of 6-mil-
thick polyethylene plastic sheeting and can be small enough to restrict 
entry to the asbestos work area to one worker.
    For example, a minienclosure can be built in a small utility closet 
when asbestos-containing duct covering is to be removed. The enclosure 
is constructed by:
    1. Affixing plastic sheeting to the walls with spray adhesive and 
tape.
    2. Covering the floor with plastic and sealing the plastic covering 
the floor to the plastic on the walls.
    3. Sealing any penetrations such as pipes or electrical conducts 
with tape.
    4. Constructing a small change room (approximately 3 feet square) 
made of 6-mil-thick polyethylene plastic supported by 2-inch by 4-inch 
lumber (the plastic should be attached to the lumber supports with 
staples or spray adhesive and tape).
    The change room should be contiguous to the minienclosure, and is 
necessary to allow the worker to vacuum off his protective coveralls and 
remove them before leaving the work area. While inside minienclosure, 
the worker should wear Tyvek \1\ disposable coveralls and use the 
appropriate HEPA-filtered dual-cartridge or more protective respiratory 
protection.
    The advantages of minienclosures are that they limit the spread of 
asbestos contamination, reduce the potential exposure of bystanders and 
other workers who may be working in adjacent areas, and are quick and 
easy to install. The disadvantage of minienclosures is that they may be 
too small to contain the equipment necessary to create a negative 
pressure within the enclosure; however the double layer of plastic 
sheeting will serve to restrict the release of asbestos fibers to the 
area outside the enclosure.
    Removal of entire structures. When pipes are insulated with 
asbestos-containing materials, removal of the entire pipe may be more 
protective, easier, and more cost-effective than stripping the asbestos 
insulation from the pipe. Before such a pipe is cut, the asbestos-
containing insulation must be wrapped with 6-mil polyethylene plastic 
and securely sealed with duct tape or equivalent. This plastic covering 
will prevent asbestos fibers from becoming airborne as a result of the 
vibration created by the power saws used to cut the pipe. If possible, 
the pipes should be cut at locations that are not insulated to avoid 
disturbing the asbestos. If a pipe is completely insulated with 
asbestos-containing materials, small sections should be stripped using 
the glove-bag method described above before the pipe is cut at the 
stripped sections.
    Enclosure. The decision to enclose rather than remove asbestos-
containing material from an area depends on the building owner's 
preference, i.e., for removal or containment.

[[Page 696]]

Owners consider such factors as cost effectiveness, the physical 
configuration of the work area, and the amount of traffic in the area 
when determining which abatement method to use.
    If the owner chooses to enclose the structure rather than to remove 
the asbestos-containing material insulating it, a solid structure 
(airtight walls and ceilings) must be built around the asbestos covered 
pipe or structure to prevent the release of asbestos-containing 
materials into the area beyond the enclosure and to prevent disturbing 
these materials by casual contact during future maintenance operations.
    Such a permanent (i.e., for the life of the building) enclosure 
should be built of new construction materials and should be impact 
resistant and airtight. Enclosure walls should be made of tongue-and-
groove boards, boards with spine joints, or gypsum boards having taped 
seams. The underlying structure must be able to support the weight of 
the enclosure. (Suspended ceilings with laid-in panels do not provide 
airtight enclosures and should not be used to enclose structures covered 
with asbestos-containing materials.) All joints between the walls and 
ceiling of the enclosure should be caulked to prevent the escape of 
asbestos fibers. During the installation of enclosures, tools that are 
used (such as drills or rivet tools) should be equipped with HEPA-
filtered vacuums. Before constructing the enclosure, all electrical 
conduits, telephone lines, recessed lights, and pipes in the area to be 
enclosed should be moved to ensure that the enclosure will not have to 
be re-opened later for routine or emergency maintenance. If such lights 
or other equipment cannot be moved to a new location for logistic 
reasons, or if moving them will disturb the asbestos-containing 
materials, removal rather than enclosure of the asbestos-containing 
materials is the appropriate control method to use.
    Maintenance program. An asbestos maintenance program must be 
initiated in all facilities that have friable asbestos-containing 
materials. Such a program should include:
    1. Development of an inventory of all asbestos-containing materials 
in the facility.
    2. Periodic examination of all asbestos-containing materials to 
detect deterioration.
    3. Written procedures for handling asbestos materials during the 
performance of small-scale, short-duration maintenance and renovation 
activities.
    4. Written procedures for asbestos disposal.
    5. Written procedures for dealing with asbestos-related emergencies.

Members of the building's maintenance engineering staff (electricians, 
heating/air conditioning engineers, plumbers, etc.) who may be required 
to handle asbestos-containing materials should be trained in safe 
procedures. Such training should include at a minimum:
    1. Information regarding types of ACM and its various uses and 
forms.
    2. Information on the health effects associated with asbestos 
exposure.
    3. Descriptions of the proper methods of handling asbestos-
containing materials.
    4. Information on the use of HEPA-equipped dual-cartridge 
respirators and other personal protection during maintenance activities.
    Prohibited activities. The training program for the maintenance 
engineering staff should describe methods of handling asbestos-
containing materials as well as routine maintenance activities that are 
prohibited when asbestos-containing materials are involved. For example, 
maintenance staff employees should be instructed:
    1. Not to drill holes in asbestos-containing materials.
    2. Not to hang plants or pictures on structures covered with 
asbestos-containing materials.
    3. Not to sand asbestos-containing floor tile.
    4. Not to damage asbestos-containing materials while moving 
furniture or other objects.
    5. Not to install curtains, drapes, or dividers in such a way that 
they damage asbestos-containing materials.
    6. Not to dust floors, ceilings, moldings or other surfaces in 
asbestos-contaminated environments with a dry brush or sweep with a dry 
broom.
    7. Not to use an ordinary vacuum to clean up asbestos-containing 
debris.
    8. Not to remove ceiling tiles below asbestos-containing materials 
without wearing the proper respiratory protection, clearing the area of 
other people, and observing asbestos removal waste disposal procedures.
    9. Not to remove ventilation system filters dry.
    10. Not to shake ventilation system filters.

       Appendix C to Subpart E--Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan

             I. Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan for States

    The Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan (MAP) for States has eight 
components:
    (A) Definitions
    (B) Initial Training
    (C) Examinations
    (D) Continuing Education
    (E) Qualifications
    (F) Recordkeeping Requirements for Training Providers
    (G) Deaccreditation
    (H) Reciprocity
A. Definitions
    For purposes of Appendix C:
    1. ``Friable asbestos-containing material (ACM)'' means any material 
containing more

[[Page 697]]

than one percent asbestos which has been applied on ceilings, walls, 
structural members, piping, duct work, or any other part of a building, 
which when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by 
hand pressure. The term includes non-friable asbestos-containing 
material after such previously non-friable material becomes damaged to 
the extent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to 
powder by hand pressure.
    2. ``Friable asbestos-containing building material (ACBM)'' means 
any friable ACM that is in or on interior structural members or other 
parts of a school or public and commercial building.
    3. ``Inspection'' means an activity undertaken in a school building, 
or a public and commercial building, to determine the presence or 
location, or to assess the condition of, friable or non-friable 
asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) or suspected ACBM, whether 
by visual or physical examination, or by collecting samples of such 
material. This term includes reinspections of friable and non-friable 
known or assumed ACBM which has been previously identified. The term 
does not include the following:
    a. Periodic surveillance of the type described in 40 CFR 763.92(b) 
solely for the purpose of recording or reporting a change in the 
condition of known or assumed ACBM;
    b. Inspections performed by employees or agents of Federal, State, 
or local government solely for the purpose of determining compliance 
with applicable statutes or regulations; or
    c. visual inspections of the type described in 40 CFR 763.90(i) 
solely for the purpose of determining completion of response actions.
    4. ``Major fiber release episode'' means any uncontrolled or 
unintentional disturbance of ACBM, resulting in a visible emission, 
which involves the falling or dislodging of more than 3 square or linear 
feet of friable ACBM.
    5. ``Minor fiber release episode'' means any uncontrolled or 
unintentional disturbance of ACBM, resulting in a visible emission, 
which involves the falling or dislodging of 3 square or linear feet or 
less of friable ACBM.
    6. ``Public and commercial building'' means the interior space of 
any building which is not a school building, except that the term does 
not include any residential apartment building of fewer than 10 units or 
detached single-family homes. The term includes, but is not limited to: 
industrial and office buildings, residential apartment buildings and 
condominiums of 10 or more dwelling units, government-owned buildings, 
colleges, museums, airports, hospitals, churches, preschools, stores, 
warehouses and factories. Interior space includes exterior hallways 
connecting buildings, porticos, and mechanical systems used to condition 
interior space.
    7. ``Response action'' means a method, including removal, 
encapsulation, enclosure, repair, and operation and maintenance, that 
protects human health and the environment from friable ACBM.
    8. ``Small-scale, short-duration activities (SSSD)'' are tasks such 
as, but not limited to:
    a. Removal of asbestos-containing insulation on pipes.
    b. Removal of small quantities of asbestos-containing insulation on 
beams or above ceilings.
    c. Replacement of an asbestos-containing gasket on a valve.
    d. Installation or removal of a small section of drywall.
    e. Installation of electrical conduits through or proximate to 
asbestos-containing materials.
    SSSD can be further defined by the following considerations:
    f. Removal of small quantities of ACM only if required in the 
performance of another maintenance activity not intended as asbestos 
abatement.
    g. Removal of asbestos-containing thermal system insulation not to 
exceed amounts greater than those which can be contained in a single 
glove bag.
    h. Minor repairs to damaged thermal system insulation which do not 
require removal.
    i. Repairs to a piece of asbestos-containing wallboard.
    j. Repairs, involving encapsulation, enclosure, or removal, to small 
amounts of friable ACM only if required in the performance of emergency 
or routine maintenance activity and not intended solely as asbestos 
abatement. Such work may not exceed amounts greater than those which can 
be contained in a single prefabricated mini-enclosure. Such an enclosure 
shall conform spatially and geometrically to the localized work area, in 
order to perform its intended containment function.

                           B. Initial Training

    Training requirements for purposes of accreditation are specified 
both in terms of required subjects of instruction and in terms of length 
of training. Each initial training course has a prescribed curriculum 
and number of days of training. One day of training equals 8 hours, 
including breaks and lunch. Course instruction must be provided by EPA 
or State-approved instructors. EPA or State instructor approval shall be 
based upon a review of the instructor's academic credentials and/or 
field experience in asbestos abatement.
    Beyond the initial training requirements, individual States may wish 
to consider requiring additional days of training for purposes of 
supplementing hands-on activities or for reviewing relevant state 
regulations.

[[Page 698]]

States also may wish to consider the relative merits of a worker 
apprenticeship program. Further, they might consider more stringent 
minimum qualification standards for the approval of training 
instructors. EPA recommends that the enrollment in any given course be 
limited to 25 students so that adequate opportunities exist for 
individual hands-on experience.
    States have the option to provide initial training directly or 
approve other entities to offer training. The following requirements are 
for the initial training of persons required to have accreditation under 
TSCA Title II.
    Training requirements for each of the five accredited disciplines 
are outlined below. Persons in each discipline perform a different job 
function and distinct role. Inspectors identify and assess the condition 
of ACBM, or suspect ACBM. Management planners use data gathered by 
inspectors to assess the degree of hazard posed by ACBM in schools to 
determine the scope and timing of appropriate response actions needed 
for schools. Project designers determine how asbestos abatement work 
should be conducted. Lastly, workers and contractor/supervisors carry 
out and oversee abatement work. In addition, a recommended training 
curriculum is also presented for a sixth discipline, which is not 
federally-accredited, that of ``Project Monitor.'' Each accredited 
discipline and training curriculum is separate and distinct from the 
others. A person seeking accreditation in any of the five accredited MAP 
disciplines cannot attend two or more courses concurrently, but may 
attend such courses sequentially.
    In several instances, initial training courses for a specific 
discipline (e.g., workers, inspectors) require hands-on training. For 
asbestos abatement contractor/supervisors and workers, hands-on training 
should include working with asbestos-substitute materials, fitting and 
using respirators, use of glovebags, donning protective clothing, and 
constructing a decontamination unit as well as other abatement work 
activities.

                               1. Workers

    A person must be accredited as a worker to carry out any of the 
following activities with respect to friable ACBM in a school or public 
and commercial building: (1) A response action other than a SSSD 
activity, (2) a maintenance activity that disturbs friable ACBM other 
than a SSSD activity, or (3) a response action for a major fiber release 
episode. All persons seeking accreditation as asbestos abatement workers 
shall complete at least a 4-day training course as outlined below. The 
4-day worker training course shall include lectures, demonstrations, at 
least 14 hours of hands-on training, individual respirator fit testing, 
course review, and an examination. Hands-on training must permit workers 
to have actual experience performing tasks associated with asbestos 
abatement. A person who is otherwise accredited as a contractor/
supervisor may perform in the role of a worker without possessing 
separate accreditation as a worker.
    Because of cultural diversity associated with the asbestos 
workforce, EPA recommends that States adopt specific standards for the 
approval of foreign language courses for abatement workers. EPA further 
recommends the use of audio-visual materials to complement lectures, 
where appropriate.
    The training course shall adequately address the following topics:

    EPA recommends that States adopt training and accreditation 
requirements for persons seeking to perform work as project monitors. 
Project monitors observe abatement activities performed by contractors 
and generally serve as a building owner's representative to ensure that 
abatement work is completed according to specification and in compliance 
with all relevant statutes and regulations. They may also perform the 
vital role of air monitoring for purposes of determining final 
clearance. EPA recommends that a State seeking to accredit individuals 
as project monitors consider adopting a minimum 5-day training course 
covering the topics outlined below. The course outlined below consists 
of lectures and demonstrations, at least 6 hours of hands-on

[[Page 704]]

training, course review, and a written examination. The hands-on 
training component might be satisfied by having the student simulate 
participation in or performance of any of the relevant job functions or 
activities (or by incorporation of the workshop component described in 
item ``n'' below of this unit).
    EPA recommends that the project monitor training course adequately 
address the following topics:

of an interactive video in which a participant is ``taken through'' a 
work area and asked to make notes of what is seen. A series of questions 
will be asked which are designed to stimulate a person's recall of the 
area. This workshop could consist of a series of two or three videos 
with different site conditions and different degrees of cleanliness.

                             C. Examinations

    1. Each State shall administer a closed book examination or 
designate other entities such as State-approved providers of training 
courses to administer the closed-book examination to persons seeking 
accreditation who have completed an initial training course. 
Demonstration testing may also be included as part of the examination. A 
person seeking initial accreditation in a specific discipline must pass 
the examination for that discipline in order to receive accreditation. 
For example, a person seeking accreditation as an abatement project 
designer must pass the State's examination for abatement project 
designer.
    States may develop their own examinations, have providers of 
training courses develop examinations, or use standardized examinations 
developed for purposes of accreditation under TSCA Title II. In 
addition, States may supplement standardized examinations with questions 
about State regulations. States may obtain commercially developed 
standardized examinations, develop standardized examinations 
independently, or do so in cooperation with other States, or with 
commercial or non-profit providers on a regional or national basis. EPA 
recommends the use of standardized, scientifically-validated testing 
instruments, which may be beneficial in terms of both promoting 
competency and in fostering accreditation reciprocity between States.
    Each examination shall adequately cover the topics included in the 
training course for that discipline. Each person who completes a 
training course, passes the required examination, and fulfills whatever 
other requirements the State imposes must receive an accreditation 
certificate in a specific discipline. Whether a State directly issues 
accreditation certificates, or authorizes training providers to issue 
accreditation certificates, each certificate issued to an accredited 
person must contain the following minimum information:
    a. A unique certificate number
    b. Name of accredited person
    c. Discipline of the training course completed.
    d. Dates of the training course.
    e. Date of the examination.
    f. An expiration date of 1 year after the date upon which the person 
successfully completed the course and examination.
    g. The name, address, and telephone number of the training provider 
that issued the certificate.
    h. A statement that the person receiving the certificate has 
completed the requisite training for asbestos accreditation under TSCA 
Title II.
    States or training providers who reaccredit persons based upon 
completion of required refresher training must also provide 
accreditation certificates with all of the above information, except the 
examination date may be omitted if a State does not require a refresher 
examination for reaccreditation.
    Where a State licenses accredited persons but has authorized 
training providers to issue accreditation certificates, the State may 
issue licenses in the form of photo-identification cards. Where this 
applies, EPA recommends that the State licenses should include all of 
the same information required for the accreditation certificates. A 
State

[[Page 706]]

may also choose to issue photo-identification cards in addition to the 
required accreditation certificates.
    Accredited persons must have their initial and current accreditation 
certificates at the location where they are conducting work.
    2. The following are the requirements for examination in each 
discipline:
    a. Worker:
    i. 50 multiple-choice questions
    ii. Passing score: 70 percent correct
    b. Contractor/Supervisor:
    i. 100 multiple-choice questions
    ii. Passing score: 70 percent correct
    c. Inspector:
    i. 50 Multiple-choice questions
    ii. Passing score: 70 percent correct
    d. Management Planner:
    i. 50 Multiple-choice questions
    ii. Passing score: 70 percent correct
    e. Project Designer:
    i. 100 multiple-choice questions
    ii. Passing score: 70 percent correct

                         D. Continuing Education

    For all disciplines, a State's accreditation program shall include 
annual refresher training as a requirement for reaccreditation as 
indicated below:
    1. Workers: One full day of refresher training.
    2. Contractor/Supervisors: One full day of refresher training.
    3. Inspectors: One half-day of refresher training.
    4. Management Planners: One half-day of inspector refresher training 
and one half-day of refresher training for management planners.
    5. Project Designers: One full day of refresher training.
    The refresher courses shall be specific to each discipline. 
Refresher courses shall be conducted as separate and distinct courses 
and not combined with any other training during the period of the 
refresher course. For each discipline, the refresher course shall review 
and discuss changes in Federal, State, and local regulations, 
developments in state-of-the-art procedures, and a review of key aspects 
of the initial training course as determined by the State. After 
completing the annual refresher course, persons shall have their 
accreditation extended for an additional year from the date of the 
refresher course. A State may consider requiring persons to pass 
reaccreditation examinations at specific intervals (for example, every 3 
years).
    EPA recommends that States formally establish a 12-month grace 
period to enable formerly accredited persons with expired certificates 
to complete refresher training and have their accreditation status 
reinstated without having to re-take the initial training course.

                            E. Qualifications

    In addition to requiring training and an examination, a State may 
require candidates for accreditation to meet other qualification and/or 
experience standards that the State considers appropriate for some or 
all disciplines. States may choose to consider requiring qualifications 
similar to the examples outlined below for inspectors, management 
planners and project designers. States may modify these examples as 
appropriate. In addition, States may want to include some requirements 
based on experience in performing a task directly as a part of a job or 
in an apprenticeship role. They may also wish to consider additional 
criteria for the approval of training course instructors beyond those 
prescribed by EPA.
    1. Inspectors: Qualifications - possess a high school diploma. 
States may want to require an Associate's Degree in specific fields 
(e.g., environmental or physical sciences).
    2. Management Planners: Qualifications - Registered architect, 
engineer, or certified industrial hygienist or related scientific field.
    3. Project Designers: Qualifications - registered architect, 
engineer, or certified industrial hygienist.
    4. Asbestos Training Course Instructor: Qualifications - academic 
credentials and/or field experience in asbestos abatement.
    EPA recommends that States prescribe minimum qualification standards 
for training instructors employed by training providers.

          F. Recordkeeping Requirements for Training Providers

    All approved providers of accredited asbestos training courses must 
comply with the following minimum recordkeeping requirements.
    1. Training course materials. A training provider must retain copies 
of all instructional materials used in the delivery of the classroom 
training such as student manuals, instructor notebooks and handouts.
    2. Instructor qualifications. A training provider must retain copies 
of all instructors' resumes, and the documents approving each instructor 
issued by either EPA or a State. Instructors must be approved by either 
EPA or a State before teaching courses for accreditation purposes. A 
training provider must notify EPA or the State, as appropriate, in 
advance whenever it changes course instructors. Records must accurately 
identify the instructors that taught each particular course for each 
date that a course is offered.
    3. Examinations. A training provider must document that each person 
who receives an accreditation certificate for an initial training course 
has achieved a passing score on the examination. These records must 
clearly indicate the date upon which the exam was

[[Page 707]]

administered, the training course and discipline for which the exam was 
given, the name of the person who proctored the exam, a copy of the 
exam, and the name and test score of each person taking the exam. The 
topic and dates of the training course must correspond to those listed 
on that person's accreditation certificate. States may choose to apply 
these same requirements to examinations for refresher training courses.
    4. Accreditation certificates. The training providers or States, 
whichever issues the accreditation certificate, shall maintain records 
that document the names of all persons who have been awarded 
certificates, their certificate numbers, the disciplines for which 
accreditation was conferred, training and expiration dates, and the 
training location. The training provider or State shall maintain the 
records in a manner that allows verification by telephone of the 
required information.
    5. Verification of certificate information. EPA recommends that 
training providers of refresher training courses confirm that their 
students possess valid accreditation before granting course admission. 
EPA further recommends that training providers offering the initial 
management planner training course verify that students have met the 
prerequisite of possessing valid inspector accreditation at the time of 
course admission.
    6. Records retention and access. (a) The training provider shall 
maintain all required records for a minimum of 3 years. The training 
provider, however, may find it advantageous to retain these records for 
a longer period of time.
    (b) The training provider must allow reasonable access to all of the 
records required by the MAP, and to any other records which may be 
required by States for the approval of asbestos training providers or 
the accreditation of asbestos training courses, to both EPA and to State 
Agencies, on request. EPA encourages training providers to make this 
information equally accessible to the general public.
    (c) If a training provider ceases to conduct training, the training 
provider shall notify the approving government body (EPA or the State) 
and give it the opportunity to take possession of that providers 
asbestos training records.

                           G. Deaccreditation

    1. States must establish criteria and procedures for deaccrediting 
persons accredited as workers, contractor/supervisors, inspectors, 
management planners, and project designers. States must follow their own 
administrative procedures in pursuing deaccreditation actions. At a 
minimum, the criteria shall include:
    (a) Performing work requiring accreditation at a job site without 
being in physical possession of initial and current accreditation 
certificates;
    (b) Permitting the duplication or use of one's own accreditation 
certificate by another;
    (c) Performing work for which accreditation has not been received; 
or
    (d) Obtaining accreditation from a training provider that does not 
have approval to offer training for the particular discipline from 
either EPA or from a State that has a contractor accreditation plan at 
least as stringent as the EPA MAP.
    EPA may directly pursue deaccreditation actions without reliance on 
State deaccreditation or enforcement authority or actions. In addition 
to the above-listed situations, the Administrator may suspend or revoke 
the accreditation of persons who have been subject to a final order 
imposing a civil penalty or convicted under section 16 of TSCA, 15 
U.S.C. 2615 or 2647, for violations of 40 CFR part 763, or section 113 
of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7413, for violations of 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart M.
    2. Any person who performs asbestos work requiring accreditation 
under section 206(a) of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646(a), without such 
accreditation is in violation of TSCA. The following persons are not 
accredited for purposes of section 206(a) of TSCA:
    (a) Any person who obtains accreditation through fraudulent 
representation of training or examination documents;
    (b) Any person who obtains training documentation through fraudulent 
means;
    (c) Any person who gains admission to and completes refresher 
training through fraudulent representation of initial or previous 
refresher training documentation; or
    (d) Any person who obtains accreditation through fraudulent 
representation of accreditation requirements such as education, 
training, professional registration, or experience.

                             H. Reciprocity

    EPA recommends that each State establish reciprocal arrangements 
with other States that have established accreditation programs that meet 
or exceed the requirements of the MAP. Such arrangements might address 
cooperation in licensing determinations, the review and approval of 
training programs and/or instructors, candidate testing and exam 
administration, curriculum development, policy formulation, compliance 
monitoring, and the exchange of information and data. The benefits to be 
derived from these arrangements include a potential cost-savings from 
the reduction of duplicative activity and the attainment of a more 
professional accredited workforce as States are able to refine and 
improve the effectiveness of their programs based upon the experience 
and methods of other States.

[[Page 708]]

        II. EPA Approval Process for State Accreditation Programs

    A. States may seek approval for a single discipline or all 
disciplines as specified in the MAP. For example, a State that currently 
only requires worker accreditation may receive EPA approval for that 
discipline alone. EPA encourages States that currently do not have 
accreditation requirements for all disciplines required under section 
206(b)(2) of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646(b)(2), to seek EPA approval for those 
disciplines the State does accredit. As States establish accreditation 
requirements for the remaining disciplines, the requested information 
outlined below should be submitted to EPA as soon as possible. Any State 
that had an accreditation program approved by EPA under an earlier 
version of the MAP may follow the same procedures to obtain EPA approval 
of their accreditation program under this MAP.
    B. Partial approval of a State Program for the accreditation of one 
or more disciplines does not mean that the State is in full compliance 
with TSCA where the deadline for that State to have adopted a State Plan 
no less stringent than the MAP has already passed. State Programs which 
are at least as stringent as the MAP for one or more of the accredited 
disciplines may, however, accredit persons in those disciplines only.
    C. States seeking EPA approval or reapproval of accreditation 
programs shall submit the following information to the Regional Asbestos 
Coordinator at their EPA Regional office:
    1. A copy of the legislation establishing or upgrading the State's 
accreditation program (if applicable).
    2. A copy of the State's accreditation regulations or revised 
regulations.
    3. A letter to the Regional Asbestos Coordinator that clearly 
indicates how the State meets the program requirements of this MAP. 
Addresses for each of the Regional Asbestos Coordinators are shown

WA 98101, (206) 553-4762.
    EPA maintains a listing of all those States that have applied for 
and received EPA approval for having accreditation requirements that are 
at least as stringent as the MAP for one or more disciplines. Any 
training courses approved by an EPA-approved State Program are 
considered to be EPA-approved for purposes of accreditation.

                    III. Approval of Training Courses

    Individuals or groups wishing to sponsor training courses for 
disciplines required to be accredited under section 206(b)(1)(A) of 
TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646(b)(1)(A), may apply for approval from States that 
have accreditation program requirements that are at least as stringent 
as this MAP. For a course to receive approval, it must meet the 
requirements for the course as outlined in this MAP, and any other 
requirements imposed by the State from which approval is being sought. 
Courses that have been approved by a State with an accreditation program 
at least as stringent as this MAP are approved under section 206(a) of 
TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646(a), for that particular State, and also for any 
other State that does not have an accreditation program as stringent as 
this MAP.

                   A. Initial Training Course Approval

    A training provider must submit the following minimum information to 
a State as part of its application for the approval of each training 
course:
    1. The course provider's name, address, and telephone number.
    2. A list of any other States that currently approve the training 
course.
    3. The course curriculum.
    4. A letter from the provider of the training course that clearly 
indicates how the course meets the MAP requirements for:
    a. Length of training in days.
    b. Amount and type of hands-on training.
    c. Examination (length, format, and passing score).
    d. Topics covered in the course.
    5. A copy of all course materials (student manuals, instructor 
notebooks, handouts, etc.).
    6. A detailed statement about the development of the examination 
used in the course.

[[Page 709]]

    7. Names and qualifications of all course instructors. Instructors 
must have academic and/or field experience in asbestos abatement.
    8. A description of and an example of the numbered certificates 
issued to students who attend the course and pass the examination.

                  B. Refresher Training Course Approval

    The following minimum information is required for approval of 
refresher training courses by States:
    1. The length of training in half-days or days.
    2. The topics covered in the course.
    3. A copy of all course materials (student manuals, instructor 
notebooks, handouts, etc.).
    4. The names and qualifications of all course instructors. 
Instructors must have academic and/or field experience in asbestos 
abatement.
    5. A description of and an example of the numbered certificates 
issued to students who complete the refresher course and pass the 
examination, if required.

                C. Withdrawal of Training Course Approval

    States must establish criteria and procedures for suspending or 
withdrawing approval from accredited training programs. States should 
follow their own administrative procedures in pursuing actions for 
suspension or withdrawal of approval of training programs. At a minimum, 
the criteria shall include:
    (1) Misrepresentation of the extent of a training course's approval 
by a State or EPA;
    (2) Failure to submit required information or notifications in a 
timely manner;
    (3) Failure to maintain requisite records;
    (4) Falsification of accreditation records, instructor 
qualifications, or other accreditation information; or
    (5) Failure to adhere to the training standards and requirements of 
the EPA MAP or State Accreditation Program, as appropriate.
    In addition to the criteria listed above, EPA may also suspend or 
withdraw a training course's approval where an approved training course 
instructor, or other person with supervisory authority over the delivery 
of training has been found in violation of other asbestos regulations 
administered by EPA. An administrative or judicial finding of violation, 
or execution of a consent agreement and order under 40 CFR 22.18, 
constitutes evidence of a failure to comply with relevant statutes or 
regulations. States may wish to adopt this criterion modified to include 
their own asbestos statutes or regulations. EPA may also suspend or 
withdraw approval of training programs where a training provider has 
submitted false information as a part of the self-certification required 
under Unit V.B. of the revised MAP.
    Training course providers shall permit representatives of EPA or the 
State which approved their training courses to attend, evaluate, and 
monitor any training course without charge. EPA or State compliance 
inspection staff are not required to give advance notice of their 
inspections. EPA may suspend or withdraw State or EPA approval of a 
training course based upon the criteria specified in this Unit III.C.

  IV. EPA Procedures for Suspension or Revocation of Accreditation or 
                        Training Course Approval.

    A. If the Administrator decides to suspend or revoke the 
accreditation of any person or suspend or withdraw the approval of a 
training course, the Administrator will notify the affected entity of 
the following:
    1. The grounds upon which the suspension, revocation, or withdrawal 
is based.
    2. The time period during which the suspension, revocation, or 
withdrawal is effective, whether permanent or otherwise.
    3. The conditions, if any, under which the affected entity may 
receive accreditation or approval in the future.
    4. Any additional conditions which the Administrator may impose.
    5. The opportunity to request a hearing prior to final Agency action 
to suspend or revoke accreditation or suspend or withdraw approval.
    B. If a hearing is requested by the accredited person or training 
course provider pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Administrator 
will:
    1. Notify the affected entity of those assertions of law and fact 
upon which the action to suspend, revoke, or withdraw is based.
    2. Provide the affected entity an opportunity to offer written 
statements of facts, explanations, comments, and arguments relevant to 
the proposed action.
    3. Provide the affected entity such other procedural opportunities 
as the Administrator may deem appropriate to ensure a fair and impartial 
hearing.
    4. Appoint an EPA attorney as Presiding Officer to conduct the 
hearing. No person shall serve as Presiding Officer if he or she has had 
any prior connection with the specific case.
    C. The Presiding Officer appointed pursuant to the preceding 
paragraph shall:
    1. Conduct a fair, orderly, and impartial hearing, without 
unnecessary delay.
    2. Consider all relevant evidence, explanation, comment, and 
argument submitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
    3. Promptly notify the affected entity of his or her decision and 
order. Such an order is a final Agency action.

[[Page 710]]

    D. If the Administrator determines that the public health, interest, 
or welfare warrants immediate action to suspend the accreditation of any 
person or the approval of any training course provider, the 
Administrator will:
    1. Notify the affected entity of the grounds upon which the 
emergency suspension is based;
    2. Notify the affected entity of the time period during which the 
emergency suspension is effective.
    3. Notify the affected entity of the Administrator's intent to 
suspend or revoke accreditation or suspend or withdraw training course 
approval, as appropriate, in accordance with Unit IV.A. above. If such 
suspension, revocation, or withdrawal notice has not previously been 
issued, it will be issued at the same time the emergency suspension 
notice is issued.
    E. Any notice, decision, or order issued by the Administrator under 
this section, and any documents filed by an accredited person or 
approved training course provider in a hearing under this section, shall 
be available to the public except as otherwise provided by section 14 of 
TSCA or by 40 CFR part 2. Any such hearing at which oral testimony is 
presented shall be open to the public, except that the Presiding Officer 
may exclude the public to the extent necessary to allow presentation of 
information which may be entitled to confidential treatment under 
section 14 of TSCA or 40 CFR part 2.

                       V. Implementation Schedule

    The various requirements of this MAP become effective in accordance 
with the following schedules:

              A. Requirements applicable to State Programs

    1. Each State shall adopt an accreditation plan that is at least as 
stringent as this MAP within 180 days after the commencement of the 
first regular session of the legislature of the State that is convened 
on or after April 4, 1994.
    2. If a State has adopted an accreditation plan at least as 
stringent as this MAP as of April 4, 1994, the State may continue to:
    a. Conduct TSCA training pursuant to this MAP.
    b. Approve training course providers to conduct training and to 
issue accreditation that satisfies the requirements for TSCA 
accreditation under this MAP.
    c. Issue accreditation that satisfies the requirements for TSCA 
accreditation under this MAP.
    3. A State that had complied with an earlier version of the MAP, but 
has not adopted an accreditation plan at least as stringent as this MAP 
by April 4, 1994, may:
    a. Conduct TSCA training which remains in compliance with the 
requirements of Unit V.B. of this MAP. After such training has been 
self-certified in accordance with Unit V.B. of this MAP, the State may 
issue accreditation that satisfies the requirement for TSCA 
accreditation under this MAP.
    b. Sustain its approval for any training course providers to conduct 
training and issue TSCA accreditation that the State had approved before 
April 4, 1994, and that remain in compliance with Unit V.B. of this MAP.
    c. Issue accreditation pursuant to an earlier version of the MAP 
that provisionally satisfies the requirement for TSCA accreditation 
until October 4, 1994.
    Such a State may not approve new TSCA training course providers to 
conduct training or to issue TSCA accreditation that satisfies the 
requirements of this MAP until the State adopts an accreditation plan 
that is at least as stringent as this MAP.
    4. A State that had complied with an earlier version of the MAP, but 
fails to adopt a plan as stringent as this MAP by the deadline 
established in Unit V.A.1., is subject to the following after that 
deadline date:
    a. The State loses any status it may have held as an EPA-approved 
State for accreditation purposes under section 206 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 
2646.
    b. All training course providers approved by the State lose State 
approval to conduct training and issue accreditation that satisfies the 
requirements for TSCA accreditation under this MAP.
    c. The State may not:
    i. Conduct training for accreditation purposes under section 206 of 
TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646.
    ii. Approve training course providers to conduct training or issue 
accreditation that satisfies the requirements for TSCA accreditation; or
    iii. Issue accreditation that satisfies the requirement for TSCA 
accreditation.
    EPA will extend EPA-approval to any training course provider that 
loses State approval because the State does not comply with the 
deadline, so long as the provider is in compliance with Unit V.B. of 
this MAP, and the provider is approved by a State that had complied with 
an earlier version of the MAP as of the day before the State loses its 
EPA approval.
    5. A State that does not have an accreditation program that 
satisfies the requirements for TSCA accreditation under either an 
earlier version of the MAP or this MAP, may not:
    a. Conduct training for accreditation purposes under section 206 of 
TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646;
    b. Approve training course providers to conduct training or issue 
accreditation that

[[Page 711]]

satisfies the requirements for TSCA accreditation; or
    c. Issue accreditation that satisfies the requirement for TSCA 
accreditation.

      B. Requirements applicable to Training Courses and Providers

    As of October 4, 1994, an approved training provider must certify to 
EPA and to any State that has approved the provider for TSCA 
accreditation, that each of the provider's training courses complies 
with the requirements of this MAP. The written submission must document 
in specific detail the changes made to each training course in order to 
comply with the requirements of this MAP and clearly state that the 
provider is also in compliance with all other requirements of this MAP, 
including the new recordkeeping and certificate provisions. Each 
submission must include the following statement signed by an authorized 
representative of the training provider: ``Under civil and criminal 
penalties of law for the making or submission of false or fraudulent 
statements or representations (18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 2615), I 
certify that the training described in this submission complies with all 
applicable requirements of Title II of TSCA, 40 CFR part 763, Appendix C 
to Subpart E, as revised, and any other applicable Federal, state, or 
local requirements.'' A consolidated self-certification submission from 
each training provider that addresses all of its approved training 
courses is permissible and encouraged.
    The self-certification must be sent via registered mail, to EPA 
Headquarters at the following address: Attn. Self-Certification Program, 
Field Programs Branch, Chemical Management Division (7404), Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. A duplicate copy of the complete 
submission must also be sent to any States from which approval had been 
obtained.
    The timely receipt of a complete self-certification by EPA and all 
approving States shall have the effect of extending approval under this 
MAP to the training courses offered by the submitting provider. If a 
self-certification is not received by the approving government bodies on 
or before the due date, the affected training course is not approved 
under this MAP. Such training providers must then reapply for approval 
of these training courses pursuant to the procedures outlined in Unit 
III.

            C. Requirements applicable to Accredited Persons.

    Persons accredited by a State with an accreditation program no less 
stringent than an earlier version of the MAP or by an EPA-approved 
training provider as of April 3, 1994, are accredited in accordance with 
the requirements of this MAP, and are not required to retake initial 
training. They must continue to comply with the requirements for annual 
refresher training in Unit I.D. of the revised MAP.

          D. Requirements applicable to Non-Accredited Persons.

    In order to perform work requiring accreditation under TSCA Title 
II, persons who are not accredited by a State with an accreditation 
program no less stringent than an earlier version of the MAP or by an 
EPA-approved training provider as of April 3, 1994, must comply with the 
upgraded training requirements of this MAP by no later than October 4, 
1994. Non-accredited persons may obtain initial accreditation on a 
provisional basis by successfully completing any of the training 
programs approved under an earlier version of the MAP, and thereby 
perform work during the first 6 months after this MAP takes effect. 
However, by October 4, 1994, these persons must have successfully 
completed an upgraded training program that fully complies with the 
requirements of this MAP in order to continue to perform work requiring 
accreditation under section 206 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2646.

    Appendix D to Subpart E--Transport and Disposal of Asbestos Waste

    For the purposes of this appendix, transport is defined as all 
activities from receipt of the containerized asbestos waste at the 
generation site until it has been unloaded at the disposal site. Current 
EPA regulations state that there must be no visible emissions to the 
outside air during waste transport. However, recognizing the potential 
hazards and subsequent liabilities associated with exposure, the 
following additional precautions are recommended.
    Recordkeeping. Before accepting wastes, a transporter should 
determine if the waste is properly wetted and containerized. The 
transporter should then require a chain-of-custody form signed by the 
generator. A chain-of-custody form may include the name and address of 
the generator, the name and address of the pickup site, the estimated 
quantity of asbestos waste, types of containers used, and the 
destination of the waste. The chain-of-custody form should then be 
signed over to a disposal site operator to transfer responsibility for 
the asbestos waste. A copy of the form signed by the disposal site 
operator should be maintained by the transporter as evidence of receipt 
at the disposal site.

[[Page 712]]

    Waste handling. A transporter should ensure that the asbestos waste 
is properly contained in leak-tight containers with appropriate labels, 
and that the outside surfaces of the containers are not contaminated 
with asbestos debris adhering to the containers. If there is reason to 
believe that the condition of the asbestos waste may allow significant 
fiber release, the transporter should not accept the waste. Improper 
containerization of wastes is a violation of the NESHAPs regulation and 
should be reported to the appropriate EPA Regional Asbestos NESHAPs 
contact below:

    Once the transporter is satisfied with the condition of the asbestos 
waste and agrees to handle it, the containers should be loaded into the 
transport vehicle in a careful manner to prevent breaking of the 
containers. Similarly, at the disposal site, the asbestos waste 
containers should be transferred carefully to avoid fiber release.
    Waste transport. Although there are no regulatory specifications 
regarding the transport vehicle, it is recommended that vehicles used 
for transport of containerized asbestos waste have an enclosed carrying 
compartment or utilize a canvas covering sufficient to contain the 
transported waste, prevent damage to containers, and prevent fiber 
release. Transport of large quantities of asbestos waste is commonly 
conducted in a 20-cubic-yard ``roll off'' box, which should also be 
covered. Vehicles that use compactors to reduce waste volume should not 
be used because these will cause the waste containers to rupture. Vacuum 
trucks used to transport waste slurry must be inspected to ensure that 
water is not leaking from the truck.
    Disposal involves the isolation of asbestos waste material in order 
to prevent fiber release to air or water. Landfilling is recommended as 
an environmentally sound isolation method because asbestos fibers are 
virtually immobile in soil. Other disposal techniques such as 
incineration or chemical treatment are not feasible due to the unique 
properties of asbestos. EPA has established asbestos disposal 
requirements for active and inactive disposal sites under NESHAPs (40 
CFR Part 61, subpart M) and specifies general requirements for solid 
waste disposal under RCRA (40 CFR Part 257). Advance EPA notification of 
the intended disposal site is required by NESHAPs.
    Selecting a disposal facility. An acceptable disposal facility for 
asbestos wastes must adhere to EPA's requirements of no visible 
emissions to the air during disposal, or minimizing emissions by 
covering the waste within 24 hours. The minimum required cover is 6 
inches of nonasbestos material, normally soil, or a dust-suppressing 
chemical. In addition to these Federal requirements, many state or local 
government agencies require more stringent handling procedures. These 
agencies usually supply a list of ``approved'' or licensed asbestos 
disposal sites upon request. Solid waste control

[[Page 713]]

agencies are listed in local telephone directories under state, county, 
or city headings. A list of state solid waste agencies may be obtained 
by calling the RCRA hotline: 1-800-424-9346 (382-3000 in Washington, 
DC). Some landfill owners or operators place special requirements on 
asbestos waste, such as placing all bagged waste into 55-gallon metal 
drums. Therefore, asbestos removal contractors should contact the 
intended landfill before arriving with the waste.
    Receiving asbestos waste. A landfill approved for receipt of 
asbestos waste should require notification by the waste hauler that the 
load contains asbestos. The landfill operator should inspect the loads 
to verify that asbestos waste is properly contained in leak-tight 
containers and labeled appropriately. The appropriate EPA Regional 
Asbestos NESHAPs Contact should be notified if the landfill operator 
believes that the asbestos waste is in a condition that may cause 
significant fiber release during disposal. In situations when the wastes 
are not properly containerized, the landfill operator should thoroughly 
soak the asbestos with a water spray prior to unloading, rinse out the 
truck, and immediately cover the wastes with nonasbestos material prior 
to compacting the waste in the landfill.
    Waste deposition and covering. Recognizing the health dangers 
associated with asbestos exposure, the following procedures are 
recommended to augment current federal requirements:
     Designate a separate area for asbestos waste disposal. 
Provide a record for future landowners that asbestos waste has been 
buried there and that it would be hazardous to attempt to excavate that 
area. (Future regulations may require property deeds to identify the 
location of any asbestos wastes and warn against excavation.)
     Prepare a separate trench to receive asbestos wastes. The 
size of the trench will depend upon the quantity and frequency of 
asbestos waste delivered to the disposal site. The trenching technique 
allows application of soil cover without disturbing the asbestos waste 
containers. The trench should be ramped to allow the transport vehicle 
to back into it, and the trench should be as narrow as possible to 
reduce the amount of cover required. If possible, the trench should be 
aligned perpendicular to prevailing winds.
     Place the asbestos waste containers into the trench 
carefully to avoid breaking them. Be particularly careful with plastic 
bags because when they break under pressure asbestos particles can be 
emitted.
     Completely cover the containerized waste within 24 hours 
with a minimum of 6 inches of nonasbestos material. Improperly 
containerized waste is a violation of the NESHAPs and EPA should be 
notified.
    However, if improperly containerized waste is received at the 
disposal site, it should be covered immediately after unloading. Only 
after the wastes, including properly containerized wastes, are 
completely covered, can the wastes be compacted or other heavy equipment 
run over it. During compacting, avoid exposing wastes to the air or 
tracking asbestos material away from the trench.
     For final closure of an area containing asbestos waste, 
cover with at least an additional 30 inches of compacted nonasbestos 
material to provide a 36-inch final cover. To control erosion of the 
final cover, it should be properly graded and vegetated. In areas of the 
United States where excessive soil erosion may occur or the frost line 
exceeds 3 feet, additional final cover is recommended. In desert areas 
where vegetation would be difficult to maintain, 3-6 inches of well 
graded crushed rock is recommended for placement on top of the final 
cover.
    Controlling public access. Under the current NESHAPs regulation, EPA 
does not require that a landfill used for asbestos disposal use warning 
signs or fencing if it meets the requirement to cover asbestos wastes. 
However, under RCRA, EPA requires that access be controlled to prevent 
exposure of the public to potential health and safety hazards at the 
disposal site. Therefore, for liability protection of operators of 
landfills that handle asbestos, fencing and warning signs are 
recommended to control public access when natural barriers do not exist. 
Access to a landfill should be limited to one or two entrances with 
gates that can be locked when left unattended. Fencing should be 
installed around the perimeter of the disposal site in a manner adequate 
to deter access by the general public. Chain-link fencing, 6-ft high and 
topped with a barbed wire guard, should be used. More specific fencing 
requirements may be specified by local regulations. Warning signs should 
be displayed at all entrances and at intervals of 330 feet or less along 
the property line of the landfill or perimeter of the sections where 
asbestos waste is deposited. The sign should read as follows:

                      ASBESTOS WASTE DISPOSAL SITE

        BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE LUNG DISEASE AND CANCER

    Recordkeeping. For protection from liability, and considering 
possible future requirements for notification on disposal site deeds, a 
landfill owner should maintain documentation of the specific location 
and quantity of the buried asbestos wastes. In addition, the estimated 
depth of the waste below the surface should be recorded whenever a 
landfill section is closed. As mentioned previously, such information 
should be recorded in the

[[Page 714]]

land deed or other record along with a notice warning against excavation 
of the area.

Appendix E to Subpart E--Interim Method of the Determination of Asbestos 
                       in Bulk Insulation Samples

                  Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy

                    1.1  Principle and Applicability

    Bulk samples of building materials taken for asbestos identification 
are first examined for homogeneity and preliminary fiber identification 
at low magnification. Positive identification of suspect fibers is made 
by analysis of subsamples with the polarized light microscope.
    The principles of optical mineralogy are well established.\1\ \2\ A 
light microscope equipped with two polarizing filters is used to observe 
specific optical characteristics of a sample. The use of plane polarized 
light allows the determination of refractive indices along specific 
crystallographic axes. Morphology and color are also observed. A 
retardation plate is placed in the polarized light path for 
determination of the sign of elongation using orthoscopic illumination. 
Orientation of the two filters such that their vibration planes are 
perpendicular (crossed polars) allows observation of the birefringence 
and extinction characteristics of anisotropic particles.
    Quantitative analysis involves the use of point counting. Point 
counting is a standard technique in petrography for determining the 
relative areas occupied by separate minerals in thin sections of rock. 
Background information on the use of point counting \2\ and the 
interpretation of point count data \3\ is available.
    This method is applicable to all bulk samples of friable insulation 
materials submitted for identification and quantitation of asbestos 
components.

                               1.2  Range

    The point counting method may be used for analysis of samples 
containing from 0 to 100 percent asbestos. The upper detection limit is 
100 percent. The lower detection limit is less than 1 percent.

                           1.3  Interferences

    Fibrous organic and inorganic constituents of bulk samples may 
interfere with the identification and quantitation of the asbestos 
mineral content. Spray-on binder materials may coat fibers and affect 
color or obscure optical characteristics to the extent of masking fiber 
identity. Fine particles of other materials may also adhere to fibers to 
an extent sufficient to cause confusion in identification. Procedures 
that may be used for the removal of interferences are presented in 
Section 1.7.2.2.

                       1.4  Precision and Accuracy

    Adequate data for measuring the accuracy and precision of the method 
for samples with various matrices are not currently available. Data 
obtained for samples containing a single asbestos type in a simple 
matrix are available in the EPA report Bulk Sample Analysis for Asbestos 
Content: Evaluation of the Tentative Method.\4\

                             1.5  Apparatus

                         1.5.1  Sample Analysis

    A low-power binocular microscope, preferably stereoscopic, is used 
to examine the bulk insulation sample as received.

                        1.5.2  Sample Preparation

    Sample preparation apparatus requirements will depend upon the type 
of insulation sample under consideration. Various physical and/or 
chemical means may be employed for an adequate sample assessment.

                             1.7  Procedures

    Note: Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers is a health hazard. Bulk 
samples submitted for analysis are usually friable and may release 
fibers during handling or matrix reduction steps. All sample and slide 
preparations should be carried out in a ventilated hood or glove box 
with continuous airflow (negative pressure). Handling of samples without 
these precautions may result in exposure of the analyst and 
contamination of samples by airborne fibers.

                             1.7.1  Sampling

    Samples for analysis of asbestos content shall be taken in the 
manner prescribed in Reference 5 and information on design of sampling 
and analysis programs may be found in Reference 6. If there are any 
questions about the representative nature of the sample, another sample 
should be requested before proceeding with the analysis.

                             1.7.2  Analysis

                       1.7.2.1  Gross Examination

    Bulk samples of building materials taken for the identification and 
quantitation of asbestos are first examined for homogeneity at low 
magnification with the aid of a stereomicroscope. The core sample may be 
examined in its container or carefully removed from the container onto a 
glassine transfer paper or clean glass plate. If possible, note is made 
of the top and bottom orientation. When discrete strata are identified, 
each is treated as a separate material so that fibers are first 
identified and quantified in that layer only, and then the results for 
each layer are combined to yield an estimate of asbestos content for the 
whole sample.

                       1.7.2.2  Sample Preparation

    Bulk materials submitted for asbestos analysis involve a wide 
variety of matrix materials. Representative subsamples may not be 
readily obtainable by simple means in heterogeneous materials, and 
various steps may be required to alleviate the difficulties encountered. 
In most cases, however, the best preparation is made by using forceps to 
sample at several places from the bulk material. Forcep samples are 
immersed in a refractive index liquid on a microscope slide, teased 
apart, covered with a cover glass, and observed with the polarized light 
microscope.
    Alternatively, attempts may be made to homogenize the sample or 
eliminate interferences before further characterization. The selection 
of appropriate procedures is dependent upon the samples encountered and 
personal preference. The following are presented as possible sample 
preparation steps.
    A mortar and pestle can sometimes be used in the size reduction of 
soft or loosely bound materials though this may cause matting of some 
samples. Such samples may be reduced in a Wylie mill. Apparatus should 
be clean and extreme care exercised to avoid cross-contamination of 
samples. Periodic checks of the particle sizes should be made during the 
grinding operation so as to preserve any fiber bundles present in an 
identifiable form. These procedures are not recommended for samples that 
contain amphibole minerals or vermiculite. Grinding of amphiboles may 
result in the separation of fiber bundles or the production of cleavage 
fragments with aspect ratios greater than 3:1. Grinding of vermiculite 
may also produce fragments with aspect ratios greater than 3:1.
    Acid treatment may occasionally be required to eliminate 
interferences. Calcium carbonate, gypsum, and bassanite (plaster) are 
frequently present in sprayed or trowelled insulations. These materials 
may be removed by treatment with warm dilute acetic acid. Warm dilute 
hydrochloric acid may also be used to remove the above materials. If 
acid treatment is required, wash the sample at least twice with 
distilled water, being careful not to lose the particulates during 
decanting steps. Centrifugation or filtration of the suspension will 
prevent significant fiber loss. The pore size of the filter should be 
0.45 micron or less. Caution: prolonged acid contact with the sample may 
alter the optical characteristics of chrysotile fibers and should be 
avoided.
    Coatings and binding materials adhering to fiber surfaces may also 
be removed by treatment with sodium metaphosphate.\7\ Add 10 mL of 10g/L 
sodium metaphosphate solution to a small (0.1 to 0.5 mL) sample of bulk 
material in a 15-mL glass centrifuge tube. For approximately 15 seconds 
each, stir the mixture on a vortex mixer, place in an ultrasonic bath 
and then shake by hand. Repeat the series. Collect the dispersed solids 
by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. Wash the sample three times 
by suspending in 10 mL distilled water and recentrifuging. After 
washing, resuspend the pellet in 5 mL

[[Page 716]]

distilled water, place a drop of the suspension on a microscope slide, 
and dry the slide at 110 deg. C.
    In samples with a large portion of cellulosic or other organic 
fibers, it may be useful to ash part of the sample and view the residue. 
Ashing should be performed in a low temperature asher. Ashing may also 
be performed in a muffle furnace at temperatures of 500 deg. C or lower. 
Temperatures of 550 deg. C or higher will cause dehydroxylation of the 
asbestos minerals, resulting in changes of the refractive index and 
other key parameters. If a muffle furnace is to be used, the furnace 
thermostat should be checked and calibrated to ensure that samples will 
not be heated at temperatures greater than 550 deg. C.
    Ashing and acid treatment of samples should not be used as standard 
procedures. In order to monitor possible changes in fiber 
characteristics, the material should be viewed microscopically before 
and after any sample preparation procedure. Use of these procedures on 
samples to be used for quantitation requires a correction for percent 
weight loss.

                      1.7.2.3  Fiber Identification

    Positive identification of asbestos requires the determination of 
the following optical properties.

Table 1-1 lists the above properties for commercial asbestos fibers. 
Figure 1-1 presents a flow diagram of the examination procedure. Natural 
variations in the conditions under which deposits of asbestiform 
minerals are formed will occasionally produce exceptions to the 
published values and differences from the UICC standards. The sign of 
elongation is determined by use of the compensator plate and crossed 
polars. Refractive indices may be determined by the Becke line test. 
Alternatively, dispersion staining may be used. Inexperienced operators 
may find that the dispersion staining technique is more easily learned, 
and should consult Reference 9 for guidance. Central stop dispersion 
staining colors are presented in Table 1-2. Available high-dispersion 
(HD) liquids should be used.

                1.7.2.4  Quantitation of Asbestos Content

    Asbestos quantitation is performed by a point-counting procedure or 
an equivalent estimation method. An ocular reticle (cross-hair or point 
array) is used to visually superimpose a point or points on the 
microscope field of view. Record the number of points positioned 
directly above each kind of particle or fiber of interest. Score only 
points directly over asbestos fibers or nonasbestos matrix material. Do 
not score empty points for the closest particle. If an asbestos fiber 
and a matrix particle overlap so that a point is superimposed on their 
visual intersection, a point is scored for both categories. Point 
counting provides a determination of the area percent asbestos. Reliable 
conversion of area percent to percent of dry weight is not currently 
feasible unless the specific gravities and relative volumes of the 
materials are known.
    For the purpose of this method, ``asbestos fibers'' are defined as 
having an aspect ratio greater than 3:1 and being positively identified 
as one of the minerals in Table 1-1.
    A total of 400 points superimposed on either asbestos fibers or 
nonasbestos matrix material must be counted over at least eight 
different preparations of representative subsamples. Take eight forcep 
samples and mount each separately with the appropriate refractive index 
liquid. The preparation should not be heavily loaded. The sample should 
be uniformly dispersed to avoid overlapping particles and allow 25-50 
percent empty area within the fields of view. Count 50 nonempty points 
on each preparation, using either
 A cross-hair reticle and mechanical stage; or
 A reticle with 25 points (Chalkley Point Array) and counting at 
least 2 randomly selected fields.

For samples with mixtures of isotropic and anisotropic materials 
present, viewing the sample with slightly uncrossed polars or the 
addition of the compensator plate to the polarized light path will allow 
simultaneous discrimination of both particle types. Quantitation should 
be performed at 100X or at the lowest magnification of the polarized 
light microscope that can effectively distinguish the sample components. 
Confirmation of the quantitation result by a second analyst on some 
percentage of analyzed samples should be used as standard quality 
control procedure.
    The percent asbestos is calculated as follows:
% asbestos=(a/n) 100%

where

a=number of asbestos counts,
n=number of nonempty points counted (400).
    If a=0, report ``No asbestos detected.'' If 0< a  3, report ``<1% 
asbestos''.
    The value reported should be rounded to the nearest percent.

                   Section 2, X-Ray Powder Diffraction

                    2.1  Principle and Applicability

    The principle of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis is well 
established.1 2Any solid, crystalline material will 
diffract an impingent beam of parallel, monochromatic X-rays whenever 
Bragg's Law,

 = 2d sin ,

is satisfied for a particular set of planes in the crystal lattice, 
where

 = the X-ray wavelength, A;
d = the interplanar spacing of the set of reflecting lattice planes, A; 
          and
 = the angle of incidence between the X-ray beam and the 
          reflecting lattice planes.

By appropriate orientation of a sample relative to the incident X-ray 
beam, a diffraction pattern can be generated that, in most cases, will 
be uniquely characteristic of both the chemical composition and 
structure of the crystalline phases present.
    Unlike optical methods of analysis, however, XRD cannot determine 
crystal morphology. Therefore, in asbestos analysis, XRD does not 
distinguish between fibrous and nonfibrous forms of the serpentine and 
amphibole minerals (Table 2-1). However, when used in conjunction with 
optical methods such as polarized light microscopy (PLM), XRD techniques 
can provide a reliable analytical method for the identification and 
characterization of asbestiform minerals in bulk materials.
    For qualitative analysis by XRD methods, samples are initially 
scanned over limited diagnostic peak regions for the serpentine 
(7.4 A) and amphibole (8.2-8.5 A) minerals (Table 2-2). 
Standard slow-scanning methods for bulk sample analysis may be used for 
materials shown by PLM to contain significant amounts of asbestos (>5-10 
percent). Detection of minor or trace amounts of asbestos may require 
special sample preparation and step-scanning analysis. All samples that 
exhibit diffraction peaks in the diagnostic regions for asbestiform 
minerals are submitted to a full (5 deg.-60 deg. 2; 1 deg. 
2/min) qualitative XRD scan, and their diffraction patterns 
are compared with standard reference powder diffraction patterns 
3to verify initial peak assignments and to identify possible 
matrix interferences when subsequent quantitative analysis will be 
performed.

    Accurate quantitative analysis of asbestos in bulk samples by XRD is 
critically dependent on particle size distribution, crystallite size, 
preferred orientation and matrix absorption effects, and comparability 
of standard reference and sample materials. The most intense diffraction 
peak that has been shown to be free from interference by prior 
qualitative XRD analysis is selected for quantitation of each 
asbestiform mineral. A ``thin-layer'' method of analysis 5 6 
is recommended in which, subsequent to comminution of the bulk material 
to 10 m by suitable cryogenic milling techniques, 
an accurately known amount of the sample is deposited on a silver 
membrane filter. The mass of

[[Page 721]]

asbestiform material is determined by measuring the integrated area of 
the selected diffraction peak using a step-scanning mode, correcting for 
matrix absorption effects, and comparing with suitable calibration 
standards. Alternative ``thick-layer'' or bulk methods,7 8 
may be used for semiquantitative analysis.
    This XRD method is applicable as a confirmatory method for 
identification and quantitation of asbestos in bulk material samples 
that have undergone prior analysis by PLM or other optical methods.

                       2.2  Range and Sensitivity

    The range of the method has not been determined.
    The sensitivity of the method has not been determined. It will be 
variable and dependent upon many factors, including matrix effects 
(absoprtion and interferences), diagnostic reflections selected, and 
their relative intensities.

                            2.3  Limitations

                          2.3.1  Interferences

    Since the fibrous and nonfibrous forms of the serpentine and 
amphibole minerals (Table 2-1) are indistinguishable by XRD techniques 
unless special sample preparation techniques and instrumentation are 
used,9 the presence of nonasbestiform serpentines and 
amphiboles in a sample will pose severe interference problems in the 
identification and quantitative analysis of their asbestiform analogs.
    The use of XRD for identification and quantitation of asbestiform 
minerals in bulk samples may also be limited by the presence of other 
interfering materials in the sample. For naturally occurring materials 
the commonly associated asbestos-related mineral interferences can 
usually be anticipated. However, for fabricated materials the nature of 
the interferences may vary greatly (Table 2-3) and present more serious 
problems in identification and quantitation.10 Potential 
interferences are summarized in Table 2-4 and include the following:
 Chlorite has major peaks at 7.19 A and 3.58 A That interfere 
with both the primary (7.36 A) and secondary (3.66 A) peaks for 
chrysotile. Resolution of the primary peak to give good quantitative 
results may be possible when a step-scanning mode of operation is 
employed.
 Halloysite has a peak at 3.63 A that interferes with the 
secondary (3.66 A) peak for chrysotile.
 Kaolinite has a major peak at 7.15 A that may interfere with 
the primary peak of chrysotile at 7.36 A when present at concentrations 
of >10 percent. However, the secondary chrysotile peak at 3.66 A may be 
used for quantitation.
 Gypsum has a major peak at 7.5 A that overlaps the 7.36 A peak 
of chrysotile when present as a major sample constituent. This may be 
removed by careful washing with distilled water, or be heating to 
300 deg. C to convert gypsum to plaster of paris.
 Cellulose has a broad peak that partially overlaps the 
secondary (3.66 A) chrysotile peak.8
 Overlap of major diagnostic peaks of the amphibole 
asbestos minerals, amosite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and tremolite, 
at approximately 8.3 A and 3.1 A causes mutual interference when these 
minerals occur in the presence of one another. In some instances, 
adquate resolution may be attained by using step-scanning methods and/or 
by decreasing the collimator slit width at the X-ray port.

                                          8.3      Mutual interferences
------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Carbonates may also interfere with quantitative analysis of the 
amphibole asbestos minerals, amosite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and 
tremolite. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has a peak at 3.035 A 
that overlaps major amphibole peaks at approximately 3.1 A when present 
in concentrations of >5 percent. Removal of carbonates with a dilute 
acid wash is possible; however, if present, chrysotile may be partially 
dissolved by this treatment.11
 A major talc peak at 3.12 A interferes with the primary 
tremolite peak at this same position and with secondary peaks of 
crocidolite (3.10 A), amosite (3.06 A), and anthophyllite (3.05 A). In 
the presence of talc, the major diagnostic peak at approximately 8.3 A 
should be used for quantitation of these asbestiform minerals.
    The problem of intraspecies and matrix interferences is further 
aggravated by the variability of the silicate mineral powder diffraction 
patterns themselves, which often makes definitive identification of the 
asbestos minerals by comparison with standard reference diffraction 
patterns difficult. This variability results from alterations in the 
crystal lattice associated with differences in isomorphous substitution 
and degree of crystallinity. This is especially true for the amphiboles. 
These minerals exhibit a wide variety of very similar chemical 
compositions, with the result being that their diffraction patterns are 
chracterized by having major (110) reflections of the monoclinic 
amphiboles and (210) reflections of the orthorhombic anthophyllite 
separated by less than 0.2 A.12

                       2.3.2  Matrix Effects

    If a copper X-ray source is used, the presence of iron at high 
concentrations in a sample will result in significant X-ray 
fluorescence, leading to loss of peak intensity along with increased 
background intensity and an overall decrease in sensitivity. This 
situation may be corrected by choosing an X-ray source other than 
copper; however, this is often accompanied both by loss of intensity and 
by decreased resolution of closely spaced reflections. Alternatively, 
use of a diffracted beam monochromator will reduce background 
fluorescent raditation, enabling weaker diffraction peaks to be 
detected.
    X-ray absorption by the sample matrix will result in overall 
attenuation of the diffracted beam and may seriously interfere with 
quantitative analysis. Absorption effects may be minimized by using 
sufficiently ``thin'' samples for analysis.5 13 14 
However, unless absorption effects are known to be the same for both 
samples and standards, appropriate corrections should be made by 
referencing diagnostic peak areas to an internal standard 7 8 
or filter substrate (Ag) peak.5 6

                  2.3.3  Particle Size Dependence

    Because the intensity of diffracted X-radiation is particle-size 
dependent, it is essential for accurate quantitative analysis that both 
sample and standard reference materials have similar particle size 
distributions. The optimum particle size range for quantitative analysis 
of asbestos by XRD has been reported to be 1 to 10  m.15 
Comparability of sample and standard reference material particle size 
distributions should be verified by optical microscopy (or another 
suitable method) prior to analysis.

                  2.3.4  Preferred Orientation Effects

    Preferred orientation of asbestiform minerals during sample 
preparation often poses a serious problem in quantitative analysis by 
XRD. A number of techniques have been developed for reducing preferred 
orientation effects in ``thick layer'' samples.7 8 15 
However, for ``thin'' samples on membrane filters, the preferred 
orientation effects seem to be both reproducible and favorable to 
enhancement of the principal diagnostic reflections of asbestos 
minerals, actually increasing the overall sensitivity of the 
method.12 14 (Further investigation into preferred 
orientation effects in both thin layer and bulk samples is required.)

        2.3.5  Lack of Suitably Characterized Standard Materials

    The problem of obtaining and characterizing suitable reference 
materials for asbestos

[[Page 723]]

analysis is clearly recognized. NIOSH has recently directed a major 
research effort toward the preparation and characterization of 
analytical reference materials, including asbestos standards; 16 
17 however, these are not available in large quantities for 
routine analysis.
    In addition, the problem of ensuring the comparability of standard 
reference and sample materials, particularly regarding crystallite size, 
particle size distribution, and degree of crystallinity, has yet to be 
adequately addressed. For example, Langer et al.18 have 
observed that in insulating matrices, chrysotile tends to break open 
into bundles more frequently than amphiboles. This results in a line-
broadening effect with a resultant decrease in sensitivity. Unless this 
effect is the same for both standard and sample materials, the amount of 
chrysotile in the sample will be underestimated by XRD analysis. To 
minimize this problem, it is recommended that standardized matrix 
reduction procedures be used for both sample and standard materials.

                             2.7  Procedure

                             2.7.1  Sampling

    Samples for analysis of asbestos content shall be collected as 
specified in EPA Guidance Document C0090, Asbestos-Containing Materials 
in School Buildings.10

                          2.7.2  Analysis

    All samples must be analyzed initially for asbestos content by PLM. 
XRD should be used as an auxiliary method when a second, independent 
analysis is requested.

    Note: Asbestos is a toxic substance. All handling of dry materials 
should be performed in an operating fume hood.

                       2.7.2.1  Sample Preparation

    The method of sample preparation required for XRD analysis will 
depend on: (1) The condition of the sample received (sample size, 
homogeneity, particle size distribution, and overall composition as 
determined by PLM); and (2) the type of XRD analysis to be performed 
(qualitative, quantitative, thin layer or bulk).
    Bulk materials are usually received as inhomogeneous mixtures of 
complex composition with very wide particle size distributions. 
Preparation of a homogeneous, representative sample from asbestos-
containing materials is particularly difficult because the fibrous 
nature of the asbestos minerals inhibits mechanical mixing and stirring, 
and because milling procedures may cause adverse lattice alterations.
    A discussion of specific matrix reduction procedures is given below. 
Complete methods of sample preparation are detailed in Sections 2.7.2.2 
and 2.7.2.3.

    Note: All samples should be examined microscopically before and 
after each matrix reduction step to monitor changes in sample particle 
size, composition, and crystallinity, and to ensure sample 
representativeness and homogeneity for analysis.

    2.7.2.1.1  Milling-- Mechanical milling of asbestos materials has 
been shown to decrease fiber crystallinity, with a resultant decrease in 
diffraction intensity of the specimen; the degree of lattice alteration 
is related to the duration and type of milling 
process.19,&thnsp22 Therefore, all milling times should be 
kept to a minimum.
    For qualitative analysis, particle size is not usually of critical 
importance and initial characterization of the material with a minimum 
of matrix reduction is often desirable to document the composition of 
the sample as received. Bulk samples of very large particle size (>2-3 
mm) should be comminuted to 100 m. A mortar and 
pestle can sometimes be used in size reduction of soft or loosely bound 
materials though this may cause matting of some samples. Such samples 
may be reduced by cutting with a razor blade in a mortar, or by grinding 
in a suitable mill (e.g., a microhammer mill or equivalent). When using 
a mortar for grinding or cutting, the sample should be moistened with 
ethanol, or some other suitable wetting agent, to minimize exposures.
    For accurate, reproducible quantitative analysis, the particle size 
of both sample and standard materials should be reduced to 
10 m (see Section 2.3.3). Dry ball milling at 
liquid nitrogen temperatures (e.g., Spex Freezer Mill, or equivalent) 
for a maximum time of 10 min. is recommended to obtain satisfactory 
particle size distributions while protecting the integrity of the 
crystal lattice.5Bulk samples of very large particle size may 
require grinding in two stages for full matrix reduction to <10 
m.8, 16
    Final particle size distributions should always be verified by 
optical microscopy or another suitable method.
    2.7.2.1.2  Low temperature ashing-- For materials shown by PLM to 
contain large amounts of gypsum, cellulosic, or other organic materials, 
it may be desirable to ash the samples prior to analysis to reduce 
background radiation or matrix interference. Since chrysotile undergoes 
dehydroxylation at temperatures between 550 deg. C and and 650 deg. C, 
with subsequent transformation to forsterite,23, 24 
ashing temperatures should be kept below 500 deg. C. Use of a low 
temperature asher is recommended. In all cases, calibration of the oven 
is essential to ensure that a maximum ashing temperature of 500 deg. C 
is not exceeded.
    2.7.2.1.3  Acid leaching--Because of the interference caused by 
gypsum and some carbonates in the detection of asbestiform minerals by 
XRD (see Section 2.3.1), it may be necessary to remove these 
interferents by a simple acid leaching procedure prior to analysis (see 
Section 1.7.2.2).

                      2.7.2.2  Qualitative Analysis

    2.7.2.2.1  Initial screening of bulk material-- Qualitative analysis 
should be performed on a representative, homogeneous portion of the 
sample with a minimum of sample treatment.
    1. Grind and mix the sample with a mortar and pestle (or equivalent 
method, see Section 2.7.2.1.1.) to a final particle size sufficiently 
small (100 m) to allow adequate packing into the 
sample holder.
    2. Pack the sample into a standard bulk sample holder. Care should 
be taken to ensure that a representative portion of the milled sample is 
selected for analysis. Particular care should be taken to avoid possible 
size segregation of the sample. (Note: Use of a back-packing method 
25 of bulk sample preparation may reduce preferred 
orientation effects.)
    3. Mount the sample on the diffractometer and scan over the 
diagnostic peak regions for

[[Page 725]]

the serpentine (67.4 A) and amphibole (8.2-8.5 A) minerals 
(see Table 2-2). The X-ray diffraction equipment should be optimized for 
intensity. A slow scanning speed of 1 deg. 23or 
those of other well-characterized reference materials). Principal 
lattice spacings of asbestiform minerals are given in Table 2-2; common 
constituents of bulk insulation and wall materials are listed in Table 
2-3.
    2.7.2.2.2  Detection of minor or trace constituents-- Routine 
screening of bulk materials by XRD may fail to detect small 
concentrations (<5 percent) of asbestos. The limits of detection will, 
in general, be improved if matrix absorption effects are minimized, and 
if the sample particle size is reduced to the optimal 1 to 10 m 
range, provided that the crystal lattice is not degraded in the milling 
process. Therefore, in those instances where confirmation of the 
presence of an asbestiform mineral at very low levels is required, or 
where a negative result from initial screening of the bulk material by 
XRD (see Section 2.7.2.2.1) is in conflict with previous PLM results, it 
may be desirable to prepare the sample as described for quantitative 
analysis (see Section 2.7.2.3) and step-scan over appropriate 25A thick-layer or bulk method involving pelletizing 
the sample may be used for semiquantitative analysis; 
7,8however, this method requires the addition of an internal 
standard, use of a specially fabricated sample press, and relatively 
large amounts of standard reference materials. Additional research is 
required to evaluate the comparability of thin- and thick-layer methods 
for quantitative asbestos analysis.
    For quantitative analysis by thin-layer methods, the following 
procedure is recommended:
    1. Mill and size all or a substantial representative portion of the 
sample as outlined in Section 2.7.2.1.1.
    2. Dry at 100 deg. C for 2 hr; cool in a desiccator.
    3. Weigh accurately to the nearest 0.01 mg.
    4. Samples shown by PLM to contain large amounts of cellulosic or 
other organic materials, gypsum, or carbonates, should be submitted to 
appropriate matrix reduction procedures described in Sections 2.7.2.1.2 
and 2.7.2.1.3. After ashing and/or acid treatment, repeat the drying and 
weighing procedures described above, and determine the percent weight 
loss; L.
    5. Quantitatively transfer an accurately weighed amount (50-100 mg) 
of the sample to a 1-L volumetric flask with approximately 200 mL 
isopropanol to which 3 to 4 drops of surfactant have been added.
    6. Ultrasonicate for 10 min at a power density of approximately 0.1 
W/mL, to disperse the sample material.
    7. Dilute to volume with isopropanol.
    8. Place flask on a magnetic stirring plate. Stir.
    9. Place a silver membrane filter on the filtration apparatus, apply 
a vacuum, and attach the reservoir. Release the vacuum and add several 
milliliters of isopropanol to the reservoir. Vigorously hand shake the 
asbestos suspension and immediately withdraw an aliquot from the center 
of the suspension so that total sample weight, WT, on the 
filter will be approximately 1 mg. Do not adjust the volume in the pipet 
by expelling part of the suspension; if more than the desired aliquot is 
withdrawn, discard the aliquot and resume the procedure with a clean 
pipet. Transfer the aliquot to the reservoir. Filter rapidly under 
vacuum. Do not wash the reservoir walls. Leave the filter apparatus 
under vacuum until dry. Remove the reservoir, release the vacuum, and 
remove the filter with forceps. (Note: Water-soluble matrix 
interferences such as gypsum may be removed at this time by careful 
washing of the filtrate with distilled water. Extreme care should be 
taken not to disturb the sample.)
    10. Attach the filter to a flat holder with a suitable adhesive and 
place on the diffractometer. Use of a sample spinner is recommended.
    11. For each asbestos mineral to be quantitated select a reflection 
(or reflections) that has been shown to be free from interferences by 
prior PLM or qualitative XRD analysis and that can be used unambiguously 
as an index of the amount of material present in the sample (see Table 
2-2).
    12. Analyze the selected diagnostic reflection(s) by step scanning 
in increments of 0.02 deg. 2a, is the difference between the peak 
integrated count and the total background count.
    13. Determine the net count, IAg, of the filter 2.36 A 
silver peak following the procedure in step 12. Remove the filter from 
the holder, reverse it, and reattach it to the holder. Determine the net 
count for the unattenuated silver peak, IAg. Scan times may 
be less for measurement of silver peaks than for sample peaks; however, 
they should be constant throughout the analysis.
    14. Normalize all raw, net intensities (to correct for instrument 
instabilities) by referencing them to an external standard (e.g., the 
3.34 A peak of an -quartz reference crystal). After each 
unknown is scanned, determine the net count, Ir, of the 
reference specimen following the procedure in step 12. Determine the 
normalized intensities by dividing the peak intensities by Ir:

                         2.8  Calibration

               2.8.1  Preparation of Calibration Standards

    1. Mill and size standard asbestos materials according to the 
procedure outlined in Section 2.7.2.1.1. Equivalent, standardized matrix 
reduction and sizing techniques should be used for both standard and 
sample materials.
    2. Dry at 100 deg. C for 2 hr; cool in a desiccator.
    3. Prepare two suspensions of each standard in isopropanol by 
weighing approximately 10 and 50 mg of the dry material to the nearest 
0.01 mg. Quantitatively transfer each to a 1-L volumetric flask with 
approximately 200 mL isopropanol to which a few drops of surfactant have 
been added.
    4. Ultrasonicate for 10 min at a power density of approximately 0.1 
W/mL, to disperse the asbestos material.
    5. Dilute to volume with isopropanol.
    6. Place the flask on a magnetic stirring plate. Stir.
    7. Prepare, in triplicate, a series of at least five standard 
filters to cover the desired analytical range, using appropriate 
aliquots of the 10 and 50 mg/L suspensions and the following procedure.
    Mount a silver membrane filter on the filtration apparatus. Place a 
few milliliters of isopropanol in the reservoir. Vigorously hand shake 
the asbestos suspension and immediately withdraw an aliquot from the 
center of the suspension. Do not adjust the volume in the pipet by 
expelling part of the suspension; if more than the desired aliquot is 
withdrawn, discard the aliquot and resume the procedure with a clean 
pipet. Transfer the aliquot to the reservoir. Keep the tip of the pipet 
near the surface of the isopropanol. Filter rapidly under vacuum. Do not 
wash the sides of the reservoir. Leave the vacuum on for a time 
sufficient to dry the filter. Release the vacuum and remove the filter 
with forceps.

                2.8.2  Analysis of Calibration Standards

    1. Mount each filter on a flat holder. Perform step scans on 
selected diagnostic reflections of the standards and reference specimen 
using the procedure outlined in Section 2.7.2.3, step 12, and the same 
conditions as those used for the samples.
    2. Determine the normalized intensity for each peak measured, 
Istd, as outlined in Section 2.7.2.3, step 14.

                            2.9  Calculations

    For each asbestos reference material, calculate the exact weight 
deposited on each standard filter from the concentrations of the 
standard suspensions and aliquot volumes. Record the weight, w, of each 
standard. Prepare a calibration curve by regressing I2std on 
w. Poor reproducibility (plus-minus15 percent RSD) at any 
given level indicates problems in the sample preparation technique, and 
a need for new standards. The data should fit a straight line equation.
    Determine the slope, m, of the calibration curve in counts/
microgram. The intercept, b, of the line with the Istd axis 
should be approximately zero. A large negative intercept indicates an 
error in determining the background. This may arise from incorrectly 
measuring the baseline or from interference by another phase at the 
angle of background measurement. A large positive intercept indicates an 
error in determining the baseline or that an impurity is included in the 
measured peak.
    Using the normalized intensity, IAg, for the attenuated 
silver peak of a sample, and the corresponding normalized intensity from 
the unattenuated silver peak, IAg, of the sample filter, 
calculate the transmittance, T, for each sample as follows:\26\ \27\
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP92.019

    Determine the correction factor, f(T), for each sample according to

data were obtained during work operations conducted under workplace 
conditions closely resembling the processes, type of material, control 
methods, work practices, and environmental conditions used and 
prevailing in the employer's current operations, the employer may rely 
on such earlier monitoring results to satisfy the requirements of 
paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section.
    (3) Periodic monitoring within regulated areas. (i) The employer 
shall conduct daily monitoring that is representative of the exposure of 
each employee who is assigned to work within a regulated area.
    (ii) When all employees within a regulated area are equipped with 
supplied-air respirators operated in the positive-pressure mode, the 
employer may dispense with the daily monitoring required by this 
paragraph.
    (4) Termination of monitoring. If the periodic monitoring required 
by paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section reveals that employee exposures, 
as indicated by statistically reliable measurements, are below the 
action level, the employer may discontinue monitoring for those 
employees whose exposures are represented by such monitoring.

[[Page 731]]

    (5) Method of monitoring. (i) All samples taken to satisfy the 
monitoring requirements of paragraph (f) of this section shall be 
personal samples collected following the procedures specified in 
appendix A of this section.

ensure that the method meets the following criteria:
    (A) Replicate exposure data used to establish equivalency are 
collected in side-by-side field and laboratory comparisons.
    (B) The comparison indicates that 90 percent of the samples 
collected in the range 0.5 to 2.0 times the permissible limit have an 
accuracy range of plus or minus 25 percent of the ORM results with a 95 
percent confidence level as demonstrated by a statistically valid 
protocol.
    (C) The equivalent method is documented and the results of the 
comparison testing are maintained.
    (iv) To satisfy the monitoring requirements of paragraph (f) of this 
section, employers shall rely on the results of monitoring analysis 
performed by laboratories that have instituted quality assurance 
programs that include the elements prescribed in appendix A of this 
section.
    (6) Employee notification of monitoring results. (i) The employer 
shall notify affected employees of the monitoring results that represent 
the employees' exposure as soon as possible following receipt of 
monitoring results.

monitoring representing the employees' exposure in writing either 
individually or by posting at a centrally located place that is 
accessible to affected employees.
    (7) Observation of monitoring. (i) The employer shall provide 
affected employees or their designated representatives an opportunity to 
observe any monitoring of employee exposure to asbestos conducted in 
accordance with this section
    (ii) When observation of the monitoring of employee exposure to 
asbestos requires entry into an area where the use of protective 
clothing or equipment is required, the observer shall be provided with 
and be required to use such clothing and equipment and shall comply with 
all other applicable safety and health procedures.
    (g) Methods of compliance--(1) Engineering controls and work 
practices. (i) The employer shall use one or any combination of the 
following control methods to achieve compliance with the permissible 
exposure limit prescribed by paragraph (c) of this section:

tight containers.
    (G) Use of work practices or other engineering controls that the 
Administrator can show to be feasible.
    (ii) Wherever the feasible engineering and work practice controls 
described in this paragraph are not sufficient to reduce employee 
exposure to or below the limit prescribed in paragraph (c) of this 
section, the employer shall use them to reduce employee exposure to the 
lowest levels attainable by these controls and shall supplement them by 
the use of respiratory protection that complies with the requirements of 
paragraph (h) of this section.
    (2) Prohibitions. (i) High-speed abrasive disc saws that are not 
equipped with appropriate engineering controls shall not be used for 
work related to asbestos.

    (ii) The employer shall permit each employee who uses a filter 
respirator to change the filter elements whenever an increase in 
breathing resistance is detected and shall maintain an adequate supply 
of filter elements for this purpose.
    (iii) Employees who wear respirators shall be permitted to leave 
work areas to wash their faces and respirator facepieces whenever 
necessary to prevent skin irritation associated with respirator use.
    (iv) No employee shall be assigned to tasks requiring the use of

    Appendix A To Sec. 763.121--EPA/OSHA Reference Method--Mandatory

    This mandatory appendix specifies the procedure for analyzing air 
samples for asbestos and specifies quality control procedures that must 
be implemented by laboratories performing the analysis. The sampling and 
analytical methods described below represent the elements of the 
available monitoring methods essential to achieve adequate employee 
exposure monitoring while allowing employers to use methods that are 
already established within their organizations. All employers who are 
required to conduct air monitoring under Sec. 763.121(f) are required to 
utilize analytical laboratories that use this procedure, or an 
equivalent method for collecting and analyzing samples.

                    Sampling and Analytical Procedure

    1. The sampling medium for air samples shall be mixed cellulose 
ester filter membranes. These shall be designated by the manufacturer as 
suitable for asbestos counting. See below for rejection of blanks.

[[Page 738]]

    2. The preferred collection device shall be the 25-mm diameter 
cassette with an open-faced 50-mm electrically conductive extension 
cowl. The 37-mm cassette may be used if necessary, but only if written 
justification for the need to use the 37-mm filter cassette accompanies 
the sample results in the employee's exposure monitoring record.
    3. An air flow rate between 0.5 liter/min and 2.5 liters/min shall 
be selected for the 25-mm cassette. If the 37-mm cassette is used, an 
air flow rate between 1 liter/min and 2.5 liters/min shall be selected.
    4. Where possible, a sufficient air volume for each air sample shall 
be collected to yield between 100 and 1,300 fibers per square millimeter 
on the membrane filter. If a filter darkens in appearance or if loose 
dust is seen on the filter, a second sample shall be started.
    5. Ship the samples in a rigid container with sufficient packing 
material to prevent dislodging the collected fibers. Packing material 
that has a high electrostatic charge on its surface (e.g., expanded 
polystyrene) cannot be used because such material can cause loss of 
fibers to the sides of the cassette.
    6. Calibrate each personal sampling pump before and after use with a 
representative filter cassette installed between the pump and the 
calibration devices.
    7. Personal samples shall be taken in the ``breathing zone'' of the 
employee (i.e., attached to or near the collar or lapel near the 
worker's face).
    8. Fiber counts shall be made by positive phase contrast using a 
microscope with an 8 to 10 X eyepiece and a 40 to 45 X objective for a 
total magnification of approximately 400 X and a numerical aperture of 
0.65 to 0.75. The microscope shall also be fitted with a green or blue 
filter.
    9. The microscope shall be fitted with a Walton-Beckett eyepiece 
graticule calibrated for a field diameter of 100 micrometers 
( 2 micrometers).
    10. The phase-shift detection limit of the microscope shall be about 
3 degrees measured using the HSE phase shift test slide as outlined 
below.
    a. Place the test slide on the microscope stage and center it under 
the phase objective.
    b. Bring the blocks of grooved lines into focus.

    Note: The slide consists of seven sets of grooved lines (ca. 20 
grooves to each block) in descending order of visibility from sets 1 to 
7, seven being the least visible. The requirements for asbestos counting 
are that the microscope optics must resolve the grooved lines in set 3 
completely, although they may appear somewhat faint, and that the 
grooved lines in sets 6 and 7 must be invisible. Sets 4 and 5 must be at 
least partially visible but may vary slightly in visibility between 
microscopes. A microscope that fails to meet these requirements has 
either too low or too high a resolution to be used for asbestos 
counting.

    c. If the image deteriorates, clean and adjust the microscope 
optics. If the problem persists, consult the microscope manufacturer.
    11. Each set of samples taken will include 10 percent blanks or a 
minimum of 2 blanks. The blank results shall be averaged and subtracted 
from the analytical results before reporting. Any samples represented by 
a blank having a fiber count in excess of 7 fibers/100 fields shall be 
rejected.
    12. The samples shall be mounted by the acetone/triacetin method or 
a method with an equivalent index of refraction and similar clarity.
    13. Observe the following counting rules.
    a. Count only fiber equal to or longer than 5 micrometers. Measure 
the length of curved fibers along the curve.
    b. In the absence of other information, count all particles as 
asbestos that have a length-to-width ratio (aspect ratio) of 3:1 or 
greater.
    c. Fibers lying entirely within the boundary of the Walton-Beckett 
graticule field shall receive a count of 1. Fibers crossing the boundary 
once, having one end within the circle, shall receive the count of one-
half (\1/2\). Do not count any fiber that crosses the graticule boundary 
more than once. Reject and do not count any other fibers even though 
they may be visible outside the graticule area.
    d. Count bundles of fibers as one fiber unless individual fibers can 
be identified by observing both ends of an individual fiber.
    e. Count enough graticule fields to yield 100 fibers. Count a 
minimum of 20 fields; stop counting at 100 fields regardless of fiber 
count.
    14. Blind recounts shall be conducted at the rate of 10 percent.

                       Quality Control Procedures

    1. Intralaboratory program. Each laboratory and/or each company with 
more than one microscopist counting slides shall establish a 
statistically designed quality assurance program involving blind 
recounts and comparisons between microscopists to monitor the 
variability of counting by each microscopist and between microscopists. 
In a company with more than one laboratory, the program shall include 
all laboratories and shall also evaluate the laboratory-to-laboratory 
variability.
    2. Interlaboratory program. Each laboratory analyzing asbestos 
samples for compliance determination shall implement an interlaboratory 
quality assurance program that as a minimum includes participation of at 
least two other independent laboratories. Each laboratory shall 
participate in round robin

[[Page 739]]

testing at least once every 6 months with at least all the other 
laboratories in its interlaboratory quality assurance group. Each 
laboratory shall submit slides typical of its own work load for use in 
this program. The round robin shall be designed and results analyzed 
using appropriate statistical methodology.
    3. All individuals performing asbestos analysis must have taken the 
NIOSH course for sampling and evaluating airborne asbestos dust or an 
equivalent course.
    4. When the use of different microscopes contributes to differences 
between counters and laboratories, the effect of the different 
microscope shall be evaluated and the microscope shall be replaced, as 
necessary.
    5. Current results of these quality assurance programs shall be 
posted in each laboratory to keep the microscopists informed.

Appendix B to Sec. 763.121--Detailed Procedure for Asbestos Sampling and 
                         Analysis--Non-Mandatory

    This appendix contains a detailed procedure for sampling and 
analysis and includes those critical elements specified in Appendix A of 
this section. Employers are not required to use this procedure, but they 
are required to use Appendix A of this section. The purpose of Appendix 
B of this section is to provide a detailed step-by-step sampling and 
analysis procedure that conforms to the elements specified in Appendix A 
of this section. Since this procedure may also standardize the analysis 
and reduce variability, EPA encourages employers to use this appendix.
    Technique: Microscopy, Phase Contrast.
    Analyte: Fibers (manual count).
    Sample Preparation: Acetone/triacetin method.
    Calibration: Phase-shift detection limit about 3 degrees.
    Range: 100 to 1,300 fibers/mm \2\ filter area.
    Estimated Limit of Detection: 7 fibers/mm \2\ filter area.
    Sampler: Filter (0.8-1.2  m mixed cellulose ester membrane, 
25-mm diameter).
    Flow Rate: 0.5 L/min to 2.5 L/min (25-mm cassette); 1.0 L/min to 2.5 
L/min (37-mm cassette).
    Sample Volume: Adjust to obtain 100 to 1,300 fibers/mm \2\.
    Shipment: Routine.
    Sample Stability: Indefinite.
    Blanks: 10% of samples (minimum 2).
    Standard Analytical Error: 0.25.
    Applicability: The working range is 0.02 f/cc (1920-L air sample) to 
1.25 f/cc (400-L sample). The method gives an index of airborne asbestos 
fibers but may be used for other materials such as fibrous glass by 
inserting suitable parameters into the counting rules. The method does 
not differentiate between asbestos and other fibers. Asbestos fibers 
less than ca. 0.25  m diameter will not be detected by this 
method.
    Interferences: Any other airborne fiber may interfere since all 
particles meeting the counting criteria are counted. Chain-like 
particles may appear fibrous. High levels of nonfibrous dust particles 
may obscure fibers in the field of view and raise the detection limit.
    Reagents:
    1. Acetone.
    2. Triacetin (glycerol triacetate), reagent grade.
    Special Precautions: Acetone is an extremely flammable liquid and 
precautions must be taken not to ignite it. Heating of acetone must be 
done in a ventilated laboratory fume hood using a flameless, spark-free 
heat source.
    Equipment:
    1. Collection device: 25-mm cassette with 50-mm electrically 
conductive extension cowl with cellulose ester filter, 0.8 to 1.2 mm 
pore size and backup pad.

    Note: Analyze representative filters for fiber background before use 
and discard the filter lot if more than 5 fibers/100 fields are found.

    2. Personal sampling pump, greater than or equal to 0.5 l/min, with 
flexible connecting tubing.
    3. Microscope, phase contrast, with green or blue filter, 8 to 10X 
eyepiece, and 40 to 45X phase objective (total magnification ca. 400X); 
numerical aperture=0.65 to 0.75.
    4. Slides, glass, single-frosted, pre-cleaned, 25 x 75 mm.
    5. Cover slips, 25 x 25 mm, No. 1\1/2\ unless otherwise specified by 
microscope manufacturer.
    6. Knife, 1 surgical steel, curved blade.
    7. Tweezers.
    8. Flask, Guth-type, insulated neck, 250 to 500 mL (with single-
holed rubber stopper and elbow-jointed glass tubing, 16 to 22 cm long).
    9. Hotplate, spark-free, stirring type; heating mantle; or infrared 
lamp and magnetic stirrer.
    10. Syringe, hypodermic, with 22-gauge needle.
    11. Graticule, Walton-Beckett type with 100  m diameter 
circular field at the specimen plane (area=0.00785 mm \2\), (Type G-22).

    Note: The graticule is custom-made for each microscope.

    12. HSE/NPL phase contrast test slide, Mark II.
    13. Telescope, ocular phase-ring centering.
    14. Stage micrometer (0.01 mm divisions).

                                Sampling

    1. Calibrate each personal sampling pump with a representative 
sampler in line.
    2. Fasten the sampler to the worker's lapel as close as possible to 
the worker's mouth. Remove the top cover from the end of the

[[Page 740]]

cowl extension (open face) and orient face down. Wrap the joint between 
the extender and the monitor's body with shrink tape to prevent air 
leaks.
    3. Submit at least two blanks (or 10 percent of the total samples, 
whichever is greater) for each set of samples. Remove the caps from the 
field blank cassettes and store the caps and cassettes in a clean area 
(bag or box) during the sampling period. Replace the caps in the 
cassettes when sampling is completed.
    4. Sample at 0.5 L/min or greater. Do not exceed 1 mg total dust 
loading on the filter. Adjust sampling flow rate, Q (L/min), and time to 
produce a fiber density, E (fibers/ mm\2\), of 100 to 1,300 fibers/m\2\ 
[3.85 x 10\4\ to 5 x 10\5\ fibers per 25-mm filter with effective 
collection area (Ac=385 mm\2\)] for optimum counting 
precision (see step 21 below). Calculate the minimum sampling time, 
t minimum (min) at the action level (one-half of the current 
standard), L (f/cc) of the fibrous aerosol being sampled:

 
                                                        (Ac)(E)
          minimum                   =        ---------------------------
                                                       (Q)(L)10
 

    5. Remove the field monitor at the end of sampling, replace the 
plastic top cover and small end caps, and store the monitor.
    6. Ship the samples in a rigid container with sufficient packing 
material to prevent jostling or damage.

    Note: Do not use polystyrene foam in the shipping container because 
of electrostatic forces which may cause fiber loss from the sample 
filter.

                           Sample Preparation

    Note: The object is to produce samples with a smooth (nongrainy) 
background in a medium with a refractive index equal to or less than 
1.46. The method below collapses the filter for easier focusing and 
produces permanent mounts which are useful for quality control and 
interlaboratory comparison. Other mounting techniques meeting the above 
criteria may also be used, e.g., the nonpermanent field mounting 
technique used in P & CAM 239.

    7. Ensure that the glass slides and cover slips are free of dust and 
fibers.
    8. Place 40 to 60 ml of acetone into a Guth-type flask. Stopper the 
flask with a single-hole rubber stopper through which a glass tube 
extends 5 to 8 cm into the flask. The portion of the glass tube that 
exits the top of the stopper (8 to 10 cm) is bent downward in an elbow 
that makes an angle of 20 to 30 degrees with the horizontal.
    9. Place the flask in a stirring hotplate or wrap in a heating 
mantle. Heat the acetone gradually to its boiling temperature (ca. 58  
deg. C).
    Caution. The acetone vapor must be generated in a ventilated fume 
hood away from all open flames and spark sources. Alternate heating 
methods can be used, providing no open flame or sparks are present.
    10. Mount either the whole sample filter or a wedge cut from the 
sample filter on a clean glass slide.
    a. Cut wedges of ca. 25 percent of the filter area with a curved-
blade steel surgical knife using a rocking motion to prevent tearing.
    b. Place the filter or wedge, dust side up, on the slide. Static 
electricity will usually keep the filter on the slide until it is 
cleared.
    c. Hold the glass slide supporting the filter approximately 1 to 2 
cm from the glass tube port where the acetone vapor is escaping from the 
heated flask. The acetone vapor stream should cause a condensation spot 
on the glass slide ca. 2 to 3 cm in diameter. Move the glass slide 
gently in the vapor stream. The filter should clear in 2 to 5 sec. If 
the filter curls, distorts, or is otherwise rendered unusable, the vapor 
stream is probably not strong enough. Periodically wipe the outlet port 
with tissue to prevent liquid acetone dripping onto the filter.
    d. Using the hypodermic syringe with a 22-gauge needle, place 1 to 2 
drops of triacetin on the filter. Gently lower a clean 25-mm square 
cover slip down onto the filter at a slight angle to reduce the 
possibility of forming bubbles. If too many bubbles form or the amount 
of triacetin is insufficient, the cover slip may become detached within 
a few hours.
    e. Glue the edges of the cover slip to the glass slide using a 
lacquer or nail polish.

    Note: If clearing is slow, the slide preparation may be heated on a 
hotplate (surface temperature 50 deg. C) for 15 min. to hasten clearing. 
Counting may proceed immediately after clearing and mounting are 
completed.

                     Calibration and Quality Control

    11. Calibration of the Walton-Beckett graticule. The diameter, 
dc (mm), of the circular counting area and the disc diameter 
must be specified when ordering the graticule.
    a. Insert any available graticule into the eyepiece and focus so 
that the graticule lines are sharp and clear.
    b. Set the appropriate interpupillary distance and, if applicable, 
reset the binocular head adjustment so that the magnification remains 
constant.
    c. Install the 40 to 45 X phase objective.
    d. Place a stage micrometer on the microscope object stage and focus 
the microscope on the graduated lines.
    e. Measure the magnified grid length, Lo (um), using the 
stage micrometer.
    f. Remove the graticule from the microscope and measure its actual 
grid length, La

[[Page 741]]

(mm). This can best be accomplished by using a stage fitted with 
verniers.
    g. Calculate the circle diameter, dc (mm), for the 
Walton-Beckett graticule:

 
                                              La x D
                                    dc    = ---------
                                                Lo
 

    Example: If Lo=108 um, La=2.93 mm and D=100 
um, then dc=2.71 mm.
    h. Check the field diameter, D(acceptable range 100 mm 2 
mm) with a stage micrometer upon receipt of the graticule from the 
manufacturer. Determine field area (mm\2\).
    12. Microscope adjustments. Follow the manufacturer's instructions 
and also the following:
    a. Adjust the light source for even illumination across the field of 
view at the condenser iris.

    Note: Kohler illumination is preferred, where available.

    b. Focus on the particulate material to be examined.
    c. Make sure that the field iris is in focus, centered on the 
sample, and open only enough to fully illuminate the field of view.
    d. Use the telescope ocular supplied by the manufacturer to ensure 
that the phase rings (annular diaphragm and phase-shifting elements) are 
concentric.
    13. Check the phase-shift detection limit of the microscope 
periodically.
    a. Remove the HSE/NPL phase-contrast test slide from its shipping 
container and center it under the phase objective.
    b. Bring the blocks of grooved lines into focus.

    Note: The slide consists of seven sets of grooves (ca. 20 grooves to 
each block) in descending order of visibility from sets 1 to 7. The 
requirements for counting are that the microscope optics must resolve 
the grooved lines in set 3 completely, although they may appear somewhat 
faint, and that the grooved lines in sets 6 to 7 must be invisible. Sets 
4 and 5 must be at least partially visible but may vary slightly in 
visibility between microscopes. A microscope which fails to meet these 
requirements has either too low or too high a resolution to be used for 
asbestos counting.

    c. If the image quality deteriorates, clean the microscope optics 
and, if the problem persists, consult the microscope manufacturer.
    14. Quality control of fiber counts.
    a. Prepare and count field blanks along with the field samples. 
Report the counts on each blank. Calculate the mean of the field blank 
counts and subtract this value from each sample count before reporting 
the results.

    Note 1: The identity of the blank filters should be unknown to the 
counter until all counts have been completed.
    Note 2: If a field blank yields fiber counts greater than 7 fibers/
100 fields, report possible contamination of the samples.

    b. Perform blind recounts by the same counter on 10 percent of 
filters counted (slides relabeled by a person other than the counter).
    15. Use the following test to determine whether a pair of counts on 
the same filter should be rejected because of possible bias. This 
statistic estimates the counting repeatability at the 95 percent 
confidence level. Discard the sample if the difference between the two 
counts exceeds 2.77 (F)sr where F=average of the two fiber 
counts and sr=relative standard deviation, which should be 
derived by each laboratory based on historical in-house data.

    Note: If a pair of counts is rejected as a result of this test, 
recount the remaining samples in the set and test the new counts against 
the first counts. Discard all rejected paired counts.

    16. Enroll each new counter in a training course that compares 
performance of counters on a variety of samples using this procedure.

    Note: To ensure good reproducibility, all laboratories engaged in 
asbestos counting are required to participate in the Proficiency 
Analytical Testing (PAT) Program and should routinely participate with 
other asbestos fiber counting laboratories in the exchange of field 
samples to compare performance of counters.

                               Measurement

    17. Place the slide on the mechanical stage of the calibrated 
microscope with the center of the filter under the objective lens. Focus 
the microscope on the plane of the filter.
    18. Regularly check phase-ring alignment and Kohler illumination.
    19. The following are the counting rules:
    a. Count only fibers longer than 5 um. Measure the length of curved 
fibers along the curve.
    b. Count only fibers with a length-to-width ratio equal to or 
greater than 3:1.
    c. For fibers that cross the boundary of the graticule field, do the 
following:
    (1) Count any fiber longer than 5 um that lies entirely within the 
graticule area.
    (2) Count as \1/2\ fiber any fiber with only one end lying within 
the graticule area.
    (3) Do not count any fiber that crosses the graticule boundary more 
than once.
    (4) Reject and do not count all other fibers.
    d. Count bundles of fibers as one fiber unless individual fibers can 
be identified by observing both ends of a fiber.

[[Page 742]]

    e. Count enough graticule fields to yield 100 fibers. Count a 
minimum of 20 fields. Stop at 100 fields regardless of fiber count.
    20. Start counting from one end of the filter and progress along a 
radial line to the other end, shift either up or down on the filter, and 
continue in the reverse direction. Select fields randomly by looking 
away from the eyepiece briefly while advancing the mechanical stage. 
When an agglomerate covers ca. \1/6\ or more of the field of view, 
reject the field and select another. Do not report rejected fields in 
the number of total fields counted.

    Note: When counting a field, continuously scan a range of focal 
planes by moving the fine focus knob to detect very fine fibers which 
have become embedded in the filter. The small-diameter fibers will be 
very faint but are an important contribution to the total count.

                              Calculations

    21. Calculate and report fiber density on the filter, E (fibers/
mm2); by dividing the total fiber count, F; minus the mean 
field blank count, B, by the number of fields, n; and the field area, 
Af (0.00785 mm2 for a properly calibrated Walton-
Beckett graticule):

 
                       E=(F/nf-(B/nb) fibers/mm\2\
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   Af
 

where:
  nf--number of fields in submission sample
  nb--number of fields in bulk sample

    22. Calculate the concentration, C (f/cc), of fibers in the air 
volume sampled, V (L), using the effective collection area of the 
filter, Ac (385 mm2 for a 25-mm filter):

 
                                           (E)(Ac)
                                    C=  ------------
                                           V(103)
 


    Note: Periodically check and adjust the value of Ac, if 
necessary.

  Appendix C to Sec. 763.121--Qualitative and Quantitative Fit Testing 
                          Procedures--Mandatory

                     Qualitative Fit Test Protocols

                       I. Isoamyl Acetate Protocol

    A. Odor Threshold Screening. 1. Three 1-liter glass jars with metal 
lids (e.g. Mason or Bell jars) are required.
    2. Odor-free water (e.g. distilled or spring water) at approximately 
25 deg. shall be used for the solutions.
    3. The isoamyl acetate (IAA) (also known as isopentyl acetate) stock 
solution is prepared by adding 1 cc of pure IAA to 800 cc of odor-free 
water in a 1-liter jar and shaking for 30 seconds. This solution shall 
be prepared new at least weekly.
    4. The screening test shall be conducted in a room separate from the 
room used for actual fit testing. The two rooms shall be well ventilated 
but shall not be connected to the same recirculating ventilation system.
    5. The odor test solution is prepared in a second jar by placing 0.4 
cc of the stock solution into 500 cc of odor-free water using a clean 
dropper or pipette. Shake for 30 seconds and allow to stand for two to 
three minutes so that the IAA concentration above the liquid may reach 
equilibrium. This solution may be used for only one day.
    6. A test blank is prepared in a third jar by adding 500 cc of odor-
free water.
    7. The odor test and test blank jars shall be labeled 1 and 2 for 
jar identification. If the labels are put on the lids they can be 
periodically peeled, dried off and switched to maintain the integrity of 
the test.
    8. The following instructions shall be typed on a card and placed on 
the table in front of the two test jars (i.e. 1 and 2): ``The purpose of 
this test is to determine if you can smell banana oil at a low 
concentration. The two bottles in front of you contain water. One of 
these bottles also contains a small amount of banana oil. Be sure the 
covers are on tight, then shake each bottle for two seconds. Unscrew the 
lid of each bottle, one at a time, and sniff at the mouth of the bottle. 
Indicate to the test conductor which bottle contains banana oil.''
    9. The mixtures used in the IAA odor detection test shall be 
prepared in an area separate from where the test is performed, in order 
to prevent olfactory fatigue in the subject.
    10. If the test subject is unable to identify correctly the jar 
containing the odor test solution, the IAA qualitative fit test may not 
be used.
    11. If the test subject correctly identifies the jar containing the 
odor test solution, the test subject may proceed to respirator selection 
and fit testing.
    B. Respirator selection. 1. The test subject shall be allowed to 
pick the most comfortable respirator from a selection including 
respirators of various sizes from different manufacturers. The selection 
shall include at least five sizes of elastomeric half facepieces, from 
at least two manufacturers.
    2. The selection process shall be conducted in a room separate from 
the fit-test chamber to prevent odor fatigue. Prior to the selection 
process, the test subject shall be shown how to put on a respirator, how 
it should be positioned on the face, how to set strap tension and how to 
determine a ``comfortable'' respirator. A mirror shall be available to 
assist the subject in evaluating the fit and positioning of the 
respirator. This instruction may not constitute the subject's formal

[[Page 743]]

training on respirator use, as it is only a review.
    3. The test subject should understand that the employee is being 
asked to select the respirator which provides the most comfortable fit. 
Each respirator represents a different size and shape and, if fitted 
properly and used properly, will provide adequate protection.
    4. The test subject holds each facepiece up to the face and 
eliminates those which obviously do not give a comfortable fit. 
Normally, selection will begin with a half-mask and if a good fit cannot 
be found, the subject will be asked to test the full facepiece 
respirators. (A small percentage of users will not be able to wear any 
half-mask.)
    5. The more comfortable facepieces are noted; the most comfortable 
mask is donned and worn at least five minutes to assess comfort. All 
donning and adjustments of the facepieces shall be performed by the test 
subject without assistance from the test conductor or other person. 
Assistance in assessing comfort can be given by discussing the points of 
6 below. If the test subject is not familiar with using a particular 
respirator, the test subject shall be directed to don the mask several 
times and to adjust the straps each time to become adept at setting 
proper tension on the straps.
    6. Assessment of comfort shall include reviewing the following 
points with the test subject and allowing the test subject adequate time 
to determine the comfort of the respirator:
     Positioning of mask on nose.
     Room for eye protection.
     Room to talk
     Positioning mask on face and cheeks.
    7. The following criteria shall be used to help determine the 
adequacy of the respirator fit:
     Chin properly placed.
     Strap tension.
     Fit across nose bridge.
     Distance from nose to chin.
     Tendency to slip.
     Self-observation in mirror.
    8. The test subject shall conduct the conventional negative and 
positive-pressure fit checks (e.g. see ANSI Z88.2-1980). Before 
conducting the negative- or positive-pressure test, the subject shall be 
told to ``seat'' the mask by rapidly moving the head from side-to-side 
and up and down, while taking a few deep breaths.
    9. The test subject is now ready for fit testing.
    10. After passing the fit test, the test subject shall be questioned 
again regarding the comfort of the respirator. If it has become 
uncomfortable, another model of respirator shall be tried.
    11. The employee shall be given the opportunity to select a 
different facepiece and be retested if the chosen facepiece becomes 
increasingly uncomfortable at any time.
    C. Fit test. 1. The fit test chamber shall be similar to a clear 55 
gallon drum liner suspended inverted over a 2 foot diameter frame, so 
that the top of the chamber is about 6 inches above the test subject's 
head. The inside top center of the chamber shall have a small hook 
attached.
    2. Each respirator used for the fitting and fit testing shall be 
equipped with organic vapor cartridges or offer protection against 
organic vapors. The cartridges or masks shall be changed at least 
weekly.
    3. After selection, donning, and properly adjusting a respirator, 
the test subject shall wear it to the fit testing room. This room shall 
be separate from the room used for odor threshold screening and 
respirator selection, and shall be well ventilated, as by an exhaust fan 
or lab hood, to prevent general room contamination.
    4. A copy of the following test exercises and rainbow passage shall 
be taped to the inside of the test chamber:

                             Test Exercises

    i. Breathe normally.
    ii. Breathe deeply. Be certain breaths are deep and regular.
    iii. Turn head all the way from one side to the other. Inhale on 
each side. Be certain movement is complete. Do not bump the respirator 
against the shoulders.
    iv. Nod head up-and-down. Inhale when head is in the full up 
position (looking toward ceiling). Be certain motions are complete and 
made about every second. Do not bump the respirator on the chest.
    v. Talking. Talk aloud and slowly for several minutes. The following 
paragraph is called the Rainbow Passage. Reading it will result in a 
wide range of facial movements, and thus be useful to satisfy this 
requirement. Alternative passages which serve the same purpose may also 
be used.
    vi. Jogging in place.
    vii. Breathe normally.
    Rainbow Passage. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, 
they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of 
white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long 
round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond 
the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one 
end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for 
something beyond reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of 
gold at the end of the rainbow.
    5. Each test subject shall wear the respirator for at least 10 
minutes before starting the fit test.
    6. Upon entering the test chamber, the test subject shall be given a 
6 inch by 5 inch piece of paper towel or other porous absorbent single 
ply material, folded in half and wetted

[[Page 744]]

with three-quarters of one cc of pure IAA. The test subject shall hang 
the wet towel on the hook at the top of the chamber.
    7. Allow two minutes for the IAA test concentration to be reached 
before starting the fit-test exercises. This would be an appropriate 
time to talk with the test subject, to explain the fit test, the 
importance of cooperation, the purpose for the head exercises, or to 
demonstrate some of the exercises.
    8. Each exercise described in 4 above shall be performed for at 
least one minute.
    9. If at any time during the test, the subject detects the banana-
like odor of IAA, the test has failed. The subject shall quickly exit 
from the test chamber and leave the test area to avoid olfactory 
fatigue.
    10. If the test is failed, the subject shall return to the selection 
room and remove the respirator, repeat the odor sensitivity test, select 
and put on another respirator, return to the test chamber, and again 
begin the procedure described in the c(4) through c(8) above. The 
process continues until a respirator that fits well has been found. 
Should the odor sensitivity test be failed, the subject shall wait about 
5 minutes before retesting. Odor sensitivity will usually have returned 
by this time.
    11. If a person cannot pass the fit test described above wearing a 
half-mask respirator from the available selection, full facepiece models 
must be used.
    12. When a respirator is found that passes the test, the subject 
breaks the faceseal and takes a breath before exiting the chamber. This 
is to assure that the reason the test subject is not smelling the IAA is 
the good fit of the respirator facepiece seal and not olfactory fatigue.
    13. When the test subject leaves the chamber, the subject shall 
remove the saturated towel and return it to the person conducting the 
test. To keep the area from becoming contaminated, the used towels shall 
be kept in a self-sealing bag so there is no significant IAA 
concentration buildup in the test chamber during subsequent tests.
    14. At least two facepieces shall be selected for the IAA test 
protocol. The test subject shall be given the opportunity to wear them 
for one week to choose the one which is more comfortable to wear.
    15. Persons who have successfully passed this fit test with a half-
mask respirator may be assigned the use of the test respirator in 
atmospheres with up to 10 times the PEL of airborne asbestos.
    16. The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth 
between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface.
    17. If hair growth or apparel interfere with a satisfactory fit, 
then they shall be altered or removed so as to eliminate interference 
and allow a satisfactory fit. If a satisfactory fit is still not 
attained, the test subject must use a positive-pressure respirator such 
as powered air-purifying respirators, supplied air respirator, or self-
contained breathing apparatus.
    18. If a test subject exhibits difficulty in breathing during the 
tests, she or he shall be referred to a physician trained in respirator 
diseases or pulmonary medicine to determine whether the test subject can 
wear a respirator while performing her or his duties.
    19. Qualitative fit testing shall be repeated at least every six 
months.
    20. In addition, because the sealing of the respirator may be 
affected, qualitative fit testing shall be repeated immediately when the 
test subject has a:
    (1) Weight change of 20 pounds or more,
    (2) Significant facial scarring in the area of the facepiece seal.
    (3) Significant dental changes; i.e., multiple extractions without 
prosthesis, or acquiring dentures.
    (4) Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, or
    (5) Any other condition that may interfere with facepiece sealing.
    D. Recordkeeping. A summary of all test results shall be maintained 
in each office for 3 years. The summary shall include:
    (1) Name of test subject.
    (2) Date of testing.
    (3) Name of the test conductor.
    (4) Respirators selected (indicate manufacturer, model, size and 
approval number).
    (5) Testing agent.

                 II. Saccharin Solution Aerosol Protocol

    A. Respirator selection. Respirators shall be selected as described 
in section IB (respirator selection) above, except that each respirator 
shall be equipped with a particulate filter.
    B. Taste threshold screening. 1. An enclosure about head and 
shoulders shall be used for threshold screening (to determine if the 
individual can taste saccharin) and for fit testing. The enclosure shall 
be approximately 12 inches in diameter by 14 inches tall with at least 
the front clear to allow free movement of the head when a respirator is 
worn.
    2. The test enclosure shall have a three-quarter inch hole in front 
of the test subject's nose and mouth area to accommodate the nebulizer 
nozzle.
    3. The entire screening and testing procedure shall be explained to 
the test subject prior to conducting the screening test.
    4. During the threshold screening test, the test subject shall don 
the test enclosure and breathe with mouth open with tongue extended.
    5. Using a DeVilbiss Model 40 Inhalation Medication Nebulizer or 
equivalent, the test conductor shall spray the threshold check solution 
into the enclosure. This nebulizer shall be clearly marked to 
distinquish it from the fit test solution nebulizer.
    6. The threshold check solution consists of 0.83 gram of sodium 
saccharin, USP in water.

[[Page 745]]

It can be prepared by putting 1 cc of the test solution (see C.7 below) 
in 100 cc of water.
    7. To produce the aerosol, the nebulizer bulb is firmly squeezed so 
that it collapses completely, then is released and allowed to expand 
fully.
    8. Ten squeezes of the nebulizer bulb are repeated rapidly and then 
the test subject is asked whether the saccharin can be tasted.
    9. If the first response is negative, ten more squeezes of the 
nebulizer bulb are repeated rapidly and the test subject is again asked 
whether the saccharin can be tasted.
    10. If the second response is negative, ten more squeezes are 
repeated rapidly and the test subject is again asked whether the 
saccharin can be tasted.
    11. The test conductor will take note of the number of squeezes 
required to elicit a taste response.
    12. If the saccharin is not tasted after 30 squeezes (Step 10), the 
saccharin fit test cannot be performed on the test subject.
    13. If a taste response is elicited, the test subject shall be asked 
to take note of the taste for reference in the fit test.
    14. Correct use of the nebulizer means that approximately 1 cc of 
liquid is used at a time in the nebulizer body.
    15. The nebulizer shall be thoroughly rinsed in water, shaken dry, 
and refilled at least every four hours.
    C. Fit Test. 1. The test subject shall don and adjust the respirator 
without assistance from any person.
    2. The fit test uses the same enclosure described in IIB above.
    3. Each test subject shall wear the respirator for at least 10 
minutes before starting the fit test.
    4. The test subject shall don the enclosure while wearing the 
respirator selected in section IB above. This respirator shall be 
properly adjusted and equipped with a particulate filter.
    5. The test subject may not eat, drink (except plain water), or chew 
gum for 15 minutes before the test.
    6. A second DeVilbiss Model 40 Inhalation Medication Nebulizer is 
used to spray the fit test solution into the enclosure. This nebulizer 
shall be clearly marked to distinquish it from the screening test 
solution nebulizer.
    7. The fit test solution is prepared by adding 83 grams of sodium 
saccharin to 100 cc of warm water.
    8. As before, the test subject shall breathe with mouth open and 
tongue extended.
    9. The nebulizer is inserted into the hole in the front of the 
enclosure and the fit test solution is sprayed into the enclosure using 
the same technique as for the taste threshold screening and the same 
number of squeezes required to elicit a taste response in the screening. 
(See B.8 through B.10 above).
    10. After generation of the aerosol, read the following instructions 
to the test subject. The test subject shall perform the exercises for 
one minute each.
    i. Breathe normally.
    ii. Breathe deeply. Be certain breaths are deep and regular.
    iii. Turn head all the way from one side to the other. Be certain 
movement is complete. Inhale on each side. Do not bump the respirator 
against the shoulders.
    iv. Nod head up-and-down. Be certain motions are complete. Inhale 
when head is in the full up position (when looking toward the ceiling). 
Do not bump the respirator on the chest.
    v. Talking. Talk aloud and slowly for several minutes. The following 
paragraph is called the Rainbow Passage. Reading it will result in a 
wide range of facial movements, and thus be useful to satisfy this 
requirement. Alternative passages which serve the same purpose may also 
be used.
    Rainbow Passage. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, 
they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of 
white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long 
round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond 
the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one 
end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for 
something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of 
gold at the end of the rainbow.
    vi. Jogging in place.
    vii. Breathe normally.
    11. At the beginning of each exercise, the aerosol concentration 
shall be replenished using one-half the number of squeezes as initially 
described in C.9.
    12. The test subject shall indicate to the test conductor, if at any 
time during the fit test, the taste of saccharin is detected.
    13. If the saccharin is detected, the fit is deemed unsatisfactory 
and a different respirator shall be tried.
    14. At least two facepieces shall be selected by the saccharin 
solution aerosol test protocol. The test subject shall be given the 
opportunity to wear them for one week to choose the one which is more 
comfortable to wear.
    15. Successful completion of the test protocol shall allow the use 
of the half mask tested respirator in contaminated atmospheres up to 10 
times the PEL of asbestos. In other words this protocol may be used to 
assign protection factors no higher than ten.
    16. The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth 
between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface.
    17. If hair growth or apparel interfere with a satisfactory fit, 
then they shall be altered or removed so as to eliminate interference 
and allow a satisfactory fit. If a satisfactory fit is still not 
attained, the test subject must

[[Page 746]]

use a positive-pressure respirator such as powered air-purifying 
respirators, supplied air respirator, or self-contained breathing 
apparatus.
    18. If a test subject exhibits difficulty in breathing during the 
tests, she or he shall be referred to a physician trained in respirator 
diseases or pulmonary medicine to determine whether the test subject can 
wear a respirator while performing her or his duties.
    19. Qualitative fit testing shall be repeated at least every six 
months.
    20. In addition, because the sealing of the respirator may be 
affected, qualitative fit testing shall be repeated immediately when the 
test subject has a:
    (1) Weight change of 20 pounds or more,
    (2) Significant facial scarring in the area of the facepiece seal,
    (3) Significant dental changes; i.e., multiple extractions without 
prosthesis, or acquiring dentures,
    (4) Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, or
    (5) Any other condition that may interfere with facepiece sealing.
    D. Recordkeeping. A summary of all test results shall be maintained 
in each office for 3 years. The summary shall include:
    (1) Name of test subject.
    (2) Date of testing.
    (3) Name of test conductor.
    (4) Respirators selected (indicate manufacturer, model, size and 
approval number).
    (5) Testing agent.

                       III. Irritant Fume Protocol

    A. Respirator selection. Respirators shall be selected as described 
in section IB above, except that each respirator shall be equipped with 
a high-efficiency cartridge.
    B. Fit test. 1. The test subject shall be allowed to smell a weak 
concentration of the irritant smoke to familiarize the subject with the 
characteristic odor.
    2. The test subject shall properly don the respirator selected as 
above, and wear it for at least 10 minutes before starting the fit test.
    3. The test conductor shall review this protocol with the test 
subject before testing.
    4. The test subject shall perform the conventional positive pressure 
and negative pressure fit checks (see ANSI Z88.2 1980). Failure of 
either check shall be cause to select an alternate respirator.
    5. Break both ends of a ventilation smoke tube containing stannic 
oxychloride, such as the MSA part 5645, or equivalent. Attach a short 
length of tubing to one end of the smoke tube. Attach the other end of 
the smoke tube to a low pressure air pump set to deliver 200 milliliters 
per minute.
    6. Advise the test subject that the smoke can be irritating to the 
eyes and instruct the subject to keep the eyes closed while the test is 
performed.
    7. The test conductor shall direct the stream of irritant smoke from 
the tube towards the faceseal area of the test subject. The person 
conducting the test shall begin with the tube at least 12 inches from 
the facepiece and gradually move to within one inch, moving around the 
whole perimeter of the mask.
    8. The test subject shall be instructed to do the following 
exercises while the respirator is being challenged by the smoke. Each 
exercise shall be performed for one minute.
    i. Breathe normally.
    ii. Breathe deeply. Be certain breaths are deep and regular.
    iii. Turn head all the way from one side to the other. Be certain 
movement is complete. Inhale on each side. Do not bump the respirator 
against the shoulders.
    iv. Nod head up-and-down. Be certain motions are complete and made 
every second. Inhale when head is in the full up position (looking 
toward ceiling). Do not bump the respirator against the chest.
    v. Talking. Talk aloud and slowly for several minutes. The following 
paragraph is called the Rainbow Passage. Repeating it after the test 
conductor (keeping eyes closed) will result in a wide range of facial 
movements, and thus be useful to satisfy this requirement. Alternative 
passages which serve the same purpose may also be used.
    Rainbow Passage. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, 
they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of 
white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long 
round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond 
the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one 
end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for 
something beyond his reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of 
gold at the end of the rainbow.
    vi. Jogging in place.
    vii. Breathe normally.
    9. The test subject shall indicate to the test conductor if the 
irritant smoke is detected. If smoke is detected, the test conductor 
shall stop the test. In this case, the tested respirator is rejected and 
another respirator shall be selected.
    10. Each test subject passing the smoke test (i.e. without detecting 
the smoke) shall be given a sensitivity check of smoke from the same 
tube to determine if the test subject reacts to the smoke. Failure to 
evoke a response shall void the fit test.
    11. Steps B4, B9, B10 of this fit test protocol shall be performed 
in a location with exhaust ventilation sufficient to prevent general 
contamination of the testing area by the test agents.
    12. At least two facepieces shall be selected by the irritant fume 
test protocol. The test subject shall be given the opportunity to

[[Page 747]]

wear them for one week to choose the one which is more comfortable to 
wear.
    13. Respirators successfully tested by the protocol may be used in 
contaminated atmospheres up to ten times the PEL of asbestos.
    14. The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth 
between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface.
    15. If hair growth or apparel interfere with a satisfactory fit, 
then they shall be altered or removed so as to eliminate interference 
and allow a satisfactory fit. If a satisfactory fit is still not 
attained, the test subject must use a positive-pressure respirator such 
as powered air-purifying respirators, supplied air respirator, or self-
contained breathing apparatus.
    16. If a test subject exhibits difficulty in breathing during the 
tests, she or he shall be referred to a physician trained in respiratory 
diseases or pulmonary medicine to determine whether the test subject can 
wear a respirator while performing her or his duties.
    17. Qualitative fit testing shall be repeated at least every six 
months.
    18. In addition, because the sealing of the respirator may be 
affected, qualitative fit testing shall be repeated immediately when the 
test subject has a:
    (1) Weight change of 20 pounds or more,
    (2) Significant facial scarring in the area of the facepiece seal,
    (3) Significant dental changes; i.e., multiple extractions without 
prosthesis, or acquiring dentures,
    (4) Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, or
    (5) Any other condition that may interfere with facepiece sealing.
    C. Recordkeeping. A summary of all test results shall be maintained 
in each office for 3 years. The summary shall include:
    (1) Name of test subject.
    (2) Date of testing.
    (3) Name of test conductor.
    (4) Respirators selected (indicate manufacturer, model, size and 
approval number).
    (5) Testing agent.

                    Quantitative Fit Test Procedures

                               1. General

    a. The method applies to the negative-pressure nonpowered air-
purifying respirators only.
    b. The employer shall assign one individual who shall assume the 
full responsibility for implementing the respirator quantitative fit 
test program.

                             2. Definitions

    a. ``Quantitative Fit Test'' means the measurement of the 
effectiveness of a respirator seal in excluding the ambient atmosphere. 
The test is performed by dividing the measured concentration of 
challenge agent in a test chamber by the measured concentration of the 
challenge agent inside the respirator facepiece when the normal air 
purifying element has been replaced by an essentially perfect purifying 
element.
    b. ``Challenge Agent'' means the air contaminant introduced into a 
test chamber so that its concentration inside and outside the respirator 
may be compared.
    c. ``Test Subject'' means the person wearing the respirator for 
quantitative fit testing.
    d. ``Normal Standing Position'' means standing erect and straight 
with arms down along the sides and looking straight ahead.
    e. ``Fit Factor'' means the ratio of challenge agent concentration 
outside with respect to the inside of a respirator inlet covering 
(facepiece or enclosure).

                              3. Apparatus

    a. Instrumentation. Corn oil, sodium chloride or other appropriate 
aerosol generation, dilution, and measurement systems shall be used for 
quantitative fit test.
    b. Test chamber. The test chamber shall be large enough to permit 
all test subjects to perform freely all required exercises without 
distributing the challenge agent concentration or the measurement 
apparatus. The test chamber shall be equipped and constructed so that 
the challenge agent is effectively isolated from the ambient air yet 
uniform in concentration throughout the chamber.
    c. When testing air-purifying respirators, the normal filter or 
cartridge element shall be replaced with a high-efficiency particulate 
filter supplied by the same manufacturer.
    d. The sampling instrument shall be selected so that a strip chart 
record may be made of the test showing the rise and fall of challenge 
agent concentration with each inspiration and expiration at fit factors 
of at least 2,000.
    e. The combination of substitute air-purifying elements (if any), 
challenge agent, and challenge agent concentration in the test chamber 
shall be such that the test subject is not exposed in excess of PEL to 
the challenge agent at any time during the testing process.
    f. The sampling port on the test specimen respirator shall be placed 
and constructed so that there is no detectable leak around the port, a 
free air flow is allowed into the sampling line at all times and so 
there is no interference with the fit or performance of the respirator.
    g. The test chamber and test set-up shall permit the person 
administering the test to observe one test subject inside the chamber 
during the test.
    h. The equipment generating the challenge atmosphere shall maintain 
the concentration of challenge agent constant within a 10 percent 
variation for the duration of the test.

[[Page 748]]

    i. The time lag (interval between an event and its being recorded on 
the strip chart) of the instrumentation may not exceed 2 seconds.
    j. The tubing for the test chamber atmosphere and for the respirator 
sampling port shall be the same diameter, length and material. It shall 
be kept as short as possible. The smallest diameter tubing recommended 
by the manufacturer shall be used.
    k. The exhaust flow from the test chamber shall pass through a high-
efficiency filter before release to the room.
    l. When sodium chloride aerosol is used, the relative humidity 
inside the test chamber shall not exceed 50 percent.

                       4. Procedural Requirements

    a. The fitting of half-mask respirators should be started with those 
having multiple sizes and a variety of interchangeable cartridges and 
canisters such as the MSA Comfo II-M, North M, Survivair M, A-O M, or 
Scott-M. Use either of the tests outlined below to assure that the 
facepiece is properly adjusted.
    (1) Positive pressure test. With the exhaust port(s) blocked, the 
negative pressure of slight inhalation should remain constant for 
several seconds.
    (2) Negative pressure test. With the intake port(s) blocked, the 
negative pressure of slight inhalation should remain constant for 
several seconds.
    b. After a facepiece is adjusted, the test subject shall wear the 
facepiece for at least 5 minutes before conducting a qualitative test by 
using either of the methods described below and using the exercise 
regime described in 5.a., b., c., d. and e.
    (1) Isoamyl acetate test. When using organic vapor cartridges, the 
test subject who can smell the odor should be unable to detect the odor 
of isoamyl acetate squirted into the air near the most vulnerable 
portions of the facepiece seal. In a location which is separated from 
the test area, the test subject shall be instructed to close her/his 
eyes during the test period. A combination cartridge or canister with 
organic vapor and high-efficiency filters shall be used when available 
for the particular mask being tested. The test subject shall be given an 
opportunity to smell the odor of isoamyl acetate before the test is 
conducted.
    (2) Irritant fume test. When using high-efficiency filters, the test 
subject should be unable to detect the odor of irritant fume (stannic 
chloride or titanium tetrachloride ventilation smoke tubes) squirted 
into the air near the most vulnerable portions of the facepiece seal. 
The test subject shall be instructed to close her/his eyes during the 
test period.
    c. The test subject may enter the quantitative testing chamber only 
if she or he has obtained a satisfactory fit as stated in 4.b. of this 
Appendix.
    d. Before the subject enters the test chamber, a reasonably stable 
challenge agent concentration shall be measured in the test chamber.
    e. Immediately after the subject enters the test chamber, the 
challenge agent concentration inside the respirator shall be measured to 
ensure that the peak penetration does not exceed 5 percent for a half-
mask and 1 percent for a full facepiece.
    f. A stable challenge agent concentration shall be obtained prior to 
the actual start of testing.
    g. Respirator restraining straps may not be overtightened for 
testing. The straps shall be adjusted by the wearer to give a reasonably 
comfortable fit typical of normal use.

                           5. Exercise Regime

    Prior to entering the test chamber, the test subject shall be given 
complete instructions as to her/his part in the test procedures. The 
test subject shall perform the following exercises, in the order given, 
for each independent test.
    a. Normal Breathing (NB). In the normal standing position, without 
talking, the subject shall breathe normally for at least one minute.
    b. Deep Breathing (DB). In the normal standing position the subject 
shall do deep breathing for at least one minute pausing so as not to 
hyperventilate.
    c. Turning head side to side (SS). Standing in place the subject 
shall slowly turn his/her head from side between the extreme positions 
to each side. The head shall be held at each extreme position for at 
least 5 seconds. Perform for at least three complete cycles.
    d. Moving head up and down (UD). Standing in place, the subject 
shall slowly move his/her head up and down between the extreme position 
straight up and the extreme position straight down. The head shall be 
held at each extreme position for at least 5 seconds. Perform for at 
least three complete cycles.
    e. Reading (R). The subject (keeping eyes closed) shall repeat after 
the test conductor or the `rainbow passage' at the end of this section. 
The subject shall talk slowly aloud so as to be heard clearly by the 
test conductor or monitor.
    f. Grimace (G). The test subject shall grimace, smile, frown, and 
generally contort the face using the facial muscles. Continue for at 
least 15 seconds.
    g. Bend over and touch toes (B). The test subject shall bend at the 
waist and touch toes and return to upright position. Repeat for at least 
30 seconds.
    h. Jogging in place (J). The test subject shall jog in place for at 
least 30 seconds.
    i. Normal Breathing (NB). Same as exercise a.

[[Page 749]]

    Rainbow Passage. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, 
they act like a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of 
white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long 
round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond 
the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one 
end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a man looks for 
something beyond reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot of 
gold at the end of the rainbow.

                         6. Termination of Test

    The test shall be terminated whenever any single peak penetration 
exceeds 5 percent for halfmasks and 1 percent for full facepieces. The 
test subject may be refitted and retested. If two of the three required 
tests are terminated, the fit shall be deemed inadequate.

                      7. Calculation of Fit Factors

    a. The fit factor determined by the quantitative fit test equals the 
average concentration inside the respirator.
    b. The average test chamber concentration is the arithmetic average 
of the test chamber concentration at the beginning and the end of the 
test.
    c. The average peak concentration of the challenge agent inside the 
respirator shall be the arithmetic average peak concentrations for each 
of the nine exercises of the test which are computed as the arithmetic 
average of the peak concentrations found for each breath during the 
exercise.
    d. The average peak concentration for an exercise may be determined 
graphically if there is not a great variation in the peak concentrations 
during a single exercise.

                    8. Interpretation of Test Results

    The fit factor measured by the quantitative fit testing shall be the 
lowest of the three protection factors resulting from three independent 
tests.

                          9. Other Requirements

    a. The test subject shall not be permitted to wear a halfmask or 
full facepiece mask if the minimum fit factor of 100 or 1,000, 
respectively, cannot be obtained. If hair growth or apparel interfere 
with a satisfactory fit, then they shall be altered or removed so as to 
eliminate interference and allow a satisfactory fit. If a satisfactory 
fit is still not attained, the test subject must use a positive-pressure 
respirator such as powered air-purifying respirators, supplied air 
respirator, or self-contained breathing apparatus.
    b. The test shall not be conducted if there is any hair growth 
between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface.
    c. If a test subject exhibits difficulty in breathing during the 
tests, she or he shall be referred to a physician trained in respirator 
diseases or pulmonary medicine to determine whether the test subject can 
wear a respirator while performing her or his duties.
    d. The test subject shall be given the opportunity to wear the 
assigned respirator for one week. If the respirator does not provide a 
satisfactory fit during actual use, the test subject may request another 
QNFT which shall be performed immediately.
    e. A respirator fit factor card shall be issued to the test subject 
with the following information:
    (1) Name.
    (2) Date of fit test.
    (3) Protection factors obtained through each manufacturer, model and 
approval number of respirator tested.
    (4) Name and signature of the person that conducted the test.
    f. Filters used for qualitative or quantitative fit testing shall be 
replaced weekly, whenever increased breathing resistance is encountered, 
or when the test agent has altered the integrity of the filter media. 
Organic vapor cartridges/canisters shall be replaced daily or sooner if 
there is any indication of breakthrough by the test agent.

                              10. Retesting

    In addition, because the sealing of the respirator may be affected, 
quantitative fit testing shall be repeated immediately when the test 
subject has a:
    a. Weight change of 20 pounds or more,
    b. Significant facial scarring in the area of the facepiece seal,
    c. Significant dental changes; i.e., multiple extractions without 
prosthesis, or acquiring dentures,
    d. Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, or
    e. Any other condition that may interfere with facepiece sealing.

                            11. Recordkeeping

    A summary of all test results shall be maintained for 3 years. The 
summary shall include:
    a. Name of test subject.
    b. Date of testing.
    c. Name of the test conductor.
    d. Fit factors obtained from every respirator tested (indicate 
manufacturer, model, size and approval number).

banned product as specified in the Agency's approval of the application. 
No applicant for an exemption may continue the banned activity that is 
the subject of an exemption application after the effective date of the 
ban unless the Agency has granted the exemption or the applicant 
receives an extension under paragraph (b)(4) or (5) of this section.
    (b) Application filing dates. (1) Applications for products affected 
by the prohibitions under Secs. 763.165(a) and 763.167(a) may be 
submitted at any time and will be either granted or denied by EPA as 
soon as is feasible.
    (2) Applications for products affected by the ban under 
Sec. 763.169(a) may be submitted at any time and will be either granted 
or denied by EPA as soon as is feasible.

product. Applications received after August 25, 1995, will be either 
granted or denied by EPA as soon as is feasible.
    (4) Applications for products affected by the ban under 
Sec. 763.169(b) may not be submitted prior to February 26, 1996. 
Complete applications received after that date, but before August 26,

    (5) The Agency will consider an application for an exemption from a 
ban under Sec. 763.169 for a product at the same time the applicant 
submits an application for an exemption from a ban under Sec. 763.165 or 
Sec. 763.167 for that product. EPA will grant an exemption at that time 
from a ban under Sec. 763.169 if the Agency determines it appropriate to

(b)(3) and (b)(4) of this section for granting or denying a complete 
application in instances in which the deadline is before the effective 
date of the ban to which the application applies, the applicant will be 
granted an extension of 1 year from the Agency's deadline date. During 
this extension period the applicant may continue the activity that is 
the subject of the exemption application. The Agency will either grant 
or deny the application during the extension period. The extension 
period will terminate either on the date the Agency grants the 
application or 30 days after the applicant receives the Agency's denial 
of the application. However, no extension will be granted if the Agency 
is scheduled to grant or deny an application at some date after the 
effective date of the ban, pursuant to the deadlines stated in 
paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of this section.
    (c) Where to file. All applications must be submitted to the 
following location: TSCA Docket Receipts Office (7407), Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

    (ii) Description of the manufacturing, import, processing, and/or 
distribution in commerce activity for which an exemption is requested, 
including a description of the asbestos-containing product to be 
manufactured, imported, processed, or distributed in commerce.
    (iii) Identification of locations at which the exempted activity 
would take place.
    (iv) Length of time requested for exemption (maximum length of an 
exemption is 4 years).
    (v) Estimated amount of asbestos to be used in the activity that is 
the subject of the exemption application.
    (vi) Data demonstrating the exposure level over the life cycle of 
the product that is the subject of the application.
    (vii) Data concerning:
    (A) The extent to which non-asbestos substitutes for the product 
that is the subject of the application fall significantly short in 
performance under necessary product standards or requirements, including 
laws or ordinances mandating product safety standards.
    (B) The costs of non-asbestos substitutes relative to the costs of 
the asbestos-containing product and, in the case in which the product is 
a component of another product, the effect on the cost of the end use 
product of using the substitute component.
    (C) The extent to which the product or use serves a high-valued use.
    (viii) Evidence of demonstrable good faith attempts by the applicant 
to develop and use a non-asbestos substance or product which may be 
substituted for the asbestos-containing product or the asbestos in the 
product or use that is the subject to the application.
    (ix) Evidence, in addition to that provided in the other information 
required

[[Page 767]]

with the application, showing that the continued manufacture, 
importation, processing, distribution in commerce, and use, as 
applicable, of the product will not present an unreasonable risk of 
injury to human health.
    (2) Criteria for decision (existing products). After considering all 
the information provided by an applicant under paragraphs (d)(1) and (e) 
of this section, and any other information available to EPA, EPA will 
grant an exemption from the prohibitions in Secs. 763.165, 763.167, or 
763.169 for an applicant's asbestos-containing product only if EPA 
determines both of the following:
    (i) The applicant has made good faith attempts to develop and use a 
non-asbestos substance or product which may be substituted for the 
asbestos-containing product or the asbestos in the product or use, and 
those attempts have failed to produce a substitute or a substitute that 
results in a product that can be economically produced.
    (ii) Continued manufacturing, processing, distribution in commerce, 
and use, as applicable, of the product will not present an unreasonable 
risk of injury to human health.
    (3) Criteria for decision (new products). Requests to develop and 
use an asbestos substance or product will be treated as a petition 
pursuant to section 21 of TSCA.
    (e) The Agency reserves the right to request further information 
from an exemption applicant if necessary to complete the Agency's 
evaluation of an application.
    (f) Upon receipt of a complete application, the Agency will issue a 
notice in the Federal Register announcing its receipt and invite public 
comments on the merits of the application.
    (g) If the application does not include all of the information 
required in paragraph (d) of this section, the Agency will return it to 
the applicant as incomplete and any resubmission of the application will 
be considered a new application for purposes of the availability of any 
extension period. If the application is substantially inadequate to 
allow the Agency to make a reasoned judgment on any of the information 
required in paragraph (d) of this section and the Agency chooses to 
request additional information from the applicant, the Agency may also 
determine that an extension period provided for in paragraph (b)(5) of 
this section is unavailable to the applicant.
    (h) When denying an application, the Agency will notify the 
applicant by registered mail of its decision and rationale. Whenever 
possible, the Agency will send this letter prior to the appropriate ban. 
This letter will be considered a final Agency action for purposes of 
judicial review. A notice announcing the Agency's denial of the 
application will be published in the Federal Register.
    (i) If the Agency proposes to approve an exemption, it will issue a 
notice in the Federal Register announcing this intent and invite public 
comments. If, after considering any timely comments received, the Agency 
approves an exemption, its decision will be published in the Federal 
Register. This notice will be considered a final Agency action for 
purposes of judicial review.
    (j) The length of an exemption period will be specified by the 
agency when it approves the exemption. To extend an exemption period 
beyond the period stipulated by EPA, applicants must submit a new 
application to the Agency, following the application procedures 
described in this section. Applications may not be submitted prior to 15 
months before the expiration of the exemption period, unless stated 
otherwise in the notice granting the exemption. Applications received 
between 15 months and 1 year before the end of the exemption period will 
be either granted or denied by the Agency before the end of the 
exemption period. Applications received after the date 1 year prior to 
the end of the exemption period will be either granted or denied by the 
Agency as soon as is feasible. Applicants may not continue the activity 
that is the subject of the renewal application after the date of the end 
of the exemption period.

subpart only if the claim is asserted in accordance with this section, 
and release of the information would reveal trade secrets or 
confidential commercial or financial information, as provided in section 
14(a) of the Act. Information covered by a CBI claim will be treated in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 
The Agency will place all information not claimed as CBI in the manner 
described in this section in a public file without further notice to the 
applicant.
    (b) Applicants may assert CBI claims only at the time they submit a 
completed exemption application and only in the specified manner. If no 
such claim accompanies the information when it is received by the 
Agency, the information may be made available to the public without 
further notice to the applicant. Submitters that claim information as 
business confidential must do so by writing the word ``Confidential'' at 
the top of the page on which the information appears and by underlining, 
circling, or placing brackets ([ ]) around the information claimed CBI.
    (c) Applicants who assert a CBI claim for submitted information must 
provide the Agency with two copies of

[[Page 769]]

their exemption application. The first copy must be complete and contain 
all information being claimed as CBI. The second copy must contain only 
information not claimed as CBI. The Agency will place the second copy of 
the submission in a public file. Failure to furnish a second copy of the 
submission when information is claimed as CBI in the first copy will be 
considered a presumptive waiver of the claim of confidentiality. The 
Agency will notify the applicant by certified mail that a finding of a 
presumptive waiver of the claim of confidentiality has been made. The 
applicant has 30 days from the date of receipt of notification to submit 
the required second copy. Failure to submit the second copy will cause 
the Agency to place the first copy in a public file.
    (d) Applicants must substantiate all claims of CBI at the time the 
applicant asserts the claim, i.e., when the exemption application or 
supplement is submitted, by responding to the questions in paragraph (e) 
of this section. Failure to provide substantiation of a claim at the 
time the applicant submits the application will result in a waiver of 
the CBI claim, and the information may be disclosed to the public 
without further notice to the applicant.
    (e) Applicants who assert any CBI claims must substantiate all 
claims by providing detailed responses to the following:
    (1) Is this information subject to a patent or patent application in 
the United States or elsewhere? If so, why is confidentiality necessary?
    (2) For what period do you assert a claim of confidentiality? If the 
claim is to extend until a certain event or point in time, please 
indicate that event or time period. Explain why such information should 
remain confidential until such point.
    (3) Has the information that you are claiming as confidential been 
disclosed to persons outside of your company? Will it be disclosed to 
such persons in the future? If so, what restrictions, if any, apply to 
use or further disclosure of the information?
    (4) Briefly describe measures taken by your company to guard against 
undesired disclosure of the information you are claiming as confidential 
to others.
    (5) Does the information claimed as confidential appear or is it 
referred to in advertising or promotional materials for the product or 
the resulting end product, safety data sheets or other similar materials 
for the product or the resulting end product, professional or trade 
publications, or any other media available to the public or to your 
competitors? If you answered yes, indicate where the information 
appears.
    (6) If the Agency disclosed the information you are claiming as 
confidential to the public, how difficult would it be for the competitor 
to enter the market for your product? Consider in your answer such 
constraints as capital and marketing cost, specialized technical 
expertise, or unusual processes.
    (7) Has the Agency, another Federal agency, or a Federal court made 
any confidentiality determination regarding this information? If so, 
provide copies of such determinations.
    (8) How would your company's competitive position be harmed if the 
Agency disclosed this information? Why should such harm be considered 
substantial? Describe the causal relationship between the disclosure and 
harm.
    (9) In light of section 14(b) of TSCA, if you have claimed 
information from a health and safety study as confidential, do you 
assert that disclosure of this information would disclose a process used 
in the manufacturing or processing of a product or information unrelated 
to the effects of asbestos on human health and the environment? If your 
answer is yes, explain.

[60 FR 34466, July 3, 1995]

[[Page 773]]



Sec. 766.14  Contents of protocols.

    Protocols should include all parts of the Quality Assurance Plan for 
Measurement of Brominated or Chlorinated Dibenzofurans and 
Dibenzodioxins, as stated in the Guidelines. For each chemical substance 
and each process, the manufacturer must submit a statement of how many 
grades of the chemical substance it produces, a justification for 
selection of the specific grade of chemical substance for testing, 
specific plans for collection of samples from the process stream, naming 
the point of collection, the method of collecting the sample, and an 
estimate of how well the samples will represent the material to be 
characterized; a description of how control samples (blanks) and HDD/
HDF-reinforced control samples, or isotopically labeled compounds 
(standards) and duplicate samples will be handled; a description of the 
chemical extraction and clean up procedures to be used; how extraction 
efficiency and measurement efficiency will be established; and a 
description of instrument hardware and operating conditions, including 
type and source of columns, carrier gas and flow rate, operating 
temperature range, and ion source temperature.



Sec. 766.16  Developing the analytical test method.

    Because of the matrix differences of the chemicals listed for 
testing, no one method for sample selection, preparation, extraction and 
clean up is prescribed. For analysis, High Resolution Gas Chromatography 
(HRGC) with High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) is the method of 
choice, but other methods may be used if they can be demonstrated to 
reach the target LOQs as well as HRGC/HRMS.
    (a) Sample selection. The chemical product to be tested should be 
sampled so that the specimens collected for analysis are representative 
of the whole. Additional guidance for sample selection is provided under 
Sec. 766.12.
    (b) Sample preparation. The sample must be mechanically homogenized 
and subsampled as necessary. Subsamples must be spiked or reinforced 
with surrogate compounds or with standard stock solutions, and the 
surrogates or standards must be thoroughly incorporated by mechanical 
agitation. Additional guidance is provided under Sec. 766.12.
    (c) Sample extraction and cleanup. The spiked samples must be 
treated to separate the HDDs/HDFs from the sample matrix. Methods are 
reviewed in the Guidelines under Sec. 766.12, but the final method or 
methods are left to the discretion of the analyst, provided the 
instrumental response of the surrogates meets the criteria listed in the 
Quality Assurance Plan for Measurement of Brominated or Chlorinated 
Dibenzofurans and Dibenzodioxins, Appendixes B and C of the Guidelines. 
Cleanup techniques are described in the Guidelines. These are chosen at 
the discretion of the analyst to meet the requirements of the chemical 
matrix.
    (d) Analysis. The method of choice is High Resolution Gas 
Chromatographic/High Resolution Mass Spectrometric Determination, (HRGC/
HRMS) but alternate methods may be used if the manufacturer can 
demonstrate that the method will reach the target LOQs as well as HRGC/
HRMS. Specific operating requirements are found in the Guidelines.



Sec. 766.18  Method sensitivity.

    The target level of quantitation required under Sec. 766.27 for each 
HDD/HDF congener is the level which must be attempted for each resolved 
HRGC peak for that congener. For at least one product sample, at least 
two analyses of the same isotopically labeled HDD/HDF internal 
calibration standards spiked to a final product concentration equal to 
the LOQ for that congener must be reproducibly extracted, cleaned up, 
and quantified to within 20 percent of each other. For each 
spiked product sample, the signal to noise ratio for the calibration 
standard peaks after complete extraction and cleanup must be 10:1 or 
greater. The recovery of the internal calibration standards in the 
extracted and cleaned up product samples must be within 50 to 150 
percent of the amount spiked, and the results must be corrected for 
recovery.

       Subpart B--Specific Chemical Testing/Reporting Requirements



Sec. 766.20  Who must test.

    (a) Any person who manufactures, imports, or processes a chemical 
substance listed in Sec. 766.25 must test that chemical substance and 
must submit appropriate information to EPA according to the schedules 
described in Sec. 766.35. Chemical substances manufactured, imported or 
processed between January 1, 1984 and the date of promulgation of this 
part are subject to testing upon the effective date of this part. All 
other chemical substances are subject to testing immediately upon 
manufacture, import or processing. EPA expects that only manufacturers 
and importers will perform testing, and that the cost of testing will be 
passed on to processors through the pricing mechanism, thereby enabling 
them to share in the cost of testing. However, processors will be called 
upon to sponsor testing should manufacturers and importers fail to do 
so. A processor may apply for an exemption from testing upon 
certification to EPA that a manufacturer or importer is testing the 
chemical substance which that person processes.
    (b) If no manufacturer or importer described in Sec. 766.20 submits 
a letter of intent to perform testing within the period described under 
Sec. 766.35(a), or an exemption application under Sec. 790.45(a), or a 
request for an exclusion or waiver under Sec. 766.32, EPA will issue a 
notice in the Federal Register to notify all processors of that chemical 
substance. The notice will state that EPA has not received any of the 
documents described in the previous sentence, and that current 
processors will have 30 days to submit either a letter of intent to 
perform the test or submit an exemption application.
    (c) If no manufacturer, importer or processor submits a letter of 
intent to perform testing of a specific chemical substance produced by a 
specific process, EPA will notify all manufacturers, importers, and 
processors, either by notice in the Federal Register or by letter, that 
all exemption applications will be denied and that within 30 days all 
manufacturers, importers, and processors will be in violation of this 
part until a proposed study plan is submitted for required testing.
    (d) Manufacturers, importers, and processors who are subject to this 
part must comply with the test rule development and exemption procedures 
in part 790 of this chapter, except as modified in this part.



Sec. 766.25  Chemical substances for testing.

    (a) Listing of chemical substances. Chemical substances required to 
be tested for HDDs/HDFs under this rule are listed in this section. The

HDFs which may be present in the chemical substances is required for the 
chemical substances listed under Sec. 766.25. Analysis must take place 
for either chlorinated or brominated dibenzodioxins or dibenzofurans, 
whichever is predominantly expected to occur in the chemical substance 
to be tested. Only chlorinated and brominated congeners need be 
quantified; for chemical substances containing predominantly chlorine 
atoms, only congeners totally chlorinated at the numbered positions need 
be quantified; for chemical substances containing predominantly bromine 
atoms, only congeners totally brominated at the numbered positions need 
be quantified.

Sec. 766.28  Expert review of protocols.

    EPA will gather a panel of experts in analysis of chemical matrices 
for HDDs/HDFs to review the protocols for testing submitted to EPA. The 
panel members will be employees of EPA and/or of other U.S. Government 
agencies who have had experience in analysis of chemical matrices and/or 
chemical wastes for HDDs/HDFs. The panel will recommend to the Director, 
EPA Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, whether the protocol 
submitted is likely to allow analysis down to the target LOQs, or if 
not, whether the protocol represents a good faith effort on the part of 
the tester to achieve the lowest possible LOQs. The final determination 
to accept or reject the protocol will be made by the Director, Office of 
Pollution Prevention and Toxics. EPA will review the submitted protocols 
as rapidly as possible and will complete the review within 90 days after 
receipt. EPA may require submission of revised protocols. Comments and 
recommendations will be transmitted to the submitter, and if revisions 
are required, a final protocol must be submitted to EPA within 90 days 
after EPA transmits such recommendations.



Sec. 766.32  Exclusions and waivers.

    (a) Reasons for exclusions and waivers. Any person subject to the 
testing requirements of this part may request an exclusion or waiver 
from testing for any one of the following reasons:
    (1) Exclusions may be granted if. (i) Testing of the appropriate 
grade of the chemical substance has already been carried out, either 
analytical testing at the lowest LOQ possible, with appropriate QA/QC, 
or a well-designed bioassay with appropriate QA/QC or;
    (ii) Process and reaction conditions of the chemical substance such 
that no HDDs/HDFs could be produced under those conditions;
    (2) Waivers may be granted if. (i) A responsible company official 
certifies that the chemical substance is produced only in quantities of 
100 kilograms or less per year, only for research and development 
purposes; or
    (ii) In the judgement of EPA, the cost of testing would drive the 
chemical substance off the market, or prevent resumption of manufacture 
or import

[[Page 776]]

of the chemical substance, if it is not currently manufactured, and the 
chemical substance will be produced so that no unreasonable risk will 
occur due to its manufacture, import, processing, distribution, use, or 
disposal. (In this case, the manufacturer must submit to EPA all data 
supporting the determination.)
    (iii) Waivers may be appropriately conditioned with respect to such 
factors as time and conditions of manufacture or use. The grade of 
decabromodiphenyl oxide produced by Dow Chemical Company (Dow) for the 
National Toxicology Program (NTP) bioassay on that chemical is excluded 
from the testing requirement under this part. Provided, however, that 
this exclusion will not apply if Dow fails to supply to EPA within 60 
days of the effective date of this section evidence showing which grade 
was used for the NTP bioassay.
    (b) Timing. Exclusion or waiver requests and detailed supporting 
data must be submitted to EPA within 60 days from the effective date of 
this part for persons manufacturing, importing or processing a chemical 
substance as of the date of promulgation, or 60 days prior to the date 
of resumption of manufacture or import for a chemical substance produced 
by a specific process if the chemical substance is not manufactured, 
imported or processed as of the date of promulgation.
    (c) Publication. Within 10 days of receipt of any exclusion or 
waiver request, EPA will issue in the Federal Register a notice of such 
receipt. EPA will also issue a notice of its decision on each exclusion 
or waiver request within 60 days of receipt.
    (d) Decision. The EPA Director of the Office of Pollution Prevention 
and Toxics will make the decision to grant or deny waivers or 
exclusions.
