ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 355

[FRL-5088-9]

 

Extremely Hazardous Substances List and Threshold Planning 
Quantities; Emergency Planning and Release Notification Requirements; 
Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agency published two Appendices to a final regulation at 
52 FR 13378 (April 22, 1987). This document corrects errors in 
Appendices A and B to 40 CFR Part 355.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 12, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Ferris, Chemical Engineer, 
Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office, 5101, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 20460. 
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline 
can also be contacted at 1-800-535-0202.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency has identified the following 
typographical and other technical errors in the Federal Register of 
April 22, 1987. The listing of ``paraquat'' in appendices A and B of 
Part 355 should read ``paraquat dichloride.'' This change is to be 
consistent with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number identified 
on the extremely hazardous substances (EHS) list. Paraquat dichloride 
is the only commercially available paraquat salt in the United States.
    ``Phenylthiourma'' in 40 CFR Part 355, Appendix A should read 
``phenylthiourea'' (typographical error). The listing of hydrogen 
chloride in 40 CFR part 355, Appendix B should read ``hydrogen chloride 
(gas only)'' (typographical error). ``Quabain'' in 40 CFR Part 355, 
Appendix B should read ``ouabain'' (typographical error).
