Regulatory Agenda
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: EPA's regulatory agenda is published each April and October.
It serves as a semiannual summary of current and projected rulemakings,
reviews of existing regulations, and Agency actions completed since the
previous publication of the agenda. By providing the public with
current and advance information about pending regulatory activities,
the Agency hopes to encourage more effective public participation in
the regulatory process.
ADDRESSES: To be placed on the mailing list for future agendas, contact
Bridgette Dent, Regulatory Development Branch (2136), EPA, 401 M Street
SW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260-5475.
If you have suggestions to improve this publication or need
general information about the agenda, contact Angela Suber,
Regulatory Development Branch (2136), EPA, 401 M Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260-7205.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you need detailed information about
a particular entry, the name, address, and telephone number of an
agency contact who is most familiar with the subject matter is listed
for each action.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agenda provides the title, an abstract,
legal authority, CFR reference, any analysis EPA is preparing, contact
person, and schedule for completing the action for each regulation
under review. The following statutes are covered in the agenda:
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
Atomic Energy Act (AEA)
Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Air Act as Amended (1990)
Clean Water Act (CWA)
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA)
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA)
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA)
Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA)
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Water Quality Act of 1987 (WQA)
General (Other acts, including grant and procurement regulations that
apply to several program areas.)
EPA's agenda also illustrates the Agency's compliance with
various mandates. Included among these is the requirement of
Executive Order 12866 to submit the Agency's priority regulatory
activities for inclusion in the Administration's annual
``Regulatory Plan.'' Those priority activities are noted in the
``Significance'' section of the rule entry.
EPA's agenda entries also provide evidence of compliance with
the other requirements of Executive Order 12866. Each entry
indicates if it will be subject to OMB review; an indication of
``Undetermined'' generally means that discussions are still
underway between EPA and OMB as to whether it will be reviewed
under the Executive order. Additionally, there is an indication if
a rulemaking is considered ``economically significant'' under the
Executive order. ``Economically significant'' rules are those that
``have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or
communities'' and require an economic assessment. This compliance
is also noted in the ``Significance'' section of each entry.
EPA also seeks to enhance public participation in development
of proposed rules by potentially affected stakeholders. We
therefore invite expressions of interest to be directed to the
contact person listed for each rule.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires the
identification of those regulations which are likely to have a
``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities'' (i.e., small governments, small businesses, and small
nonprofit organizations). Under the requirements of the Act, such
regulations must be subjected to a ``regulatory flexibility
analysis.'' This analysis must consider the likely economic impacts
on small entities, as well as any significant alternatives to the
rule which accomplish the objectives of applicable statutes and
which minimize significant economic impacts of the rulemaking on
small entities.
In April 1992, EPA adopted a policy which exceeds the
requirements of the RFA (this policy applies to rulemakings that
were initiated on or after April 7, 1992). For rulemakings subject
to this policy, EPA will perform a regulatory flexibility analysis
if the rule is likely to have any economic impact on any small
entity. For rulemakings not subject to this policy (i.e., initiated
prior to April 9, 1992), a regulatory flexibility analysis will be
conducted only if the rulemaking will meet the RFA's standard of
having a ``significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities.''
Each rulemaking listed in this agenda indicates in the
``Analysis'' section whether EPA expects to conduct a regulatory
flexibility analysis. If EPA believes small entities will be
affected by a rulemaking, this is indicated under the ``Small
Entities Affected'' and/or the ``Government Levels Affected''
section of the summary for each listed rule. EPA invites public
comment regarding EPA's assessment of which of the listed
rulemakings are appropriate for regulatory flexibility analysis.
(See ``Small Entities Index to the Environmental Protection Agency
Agenda'' at the end of this document. It lists the regulatory
actions EPA believes may have effects on small businesses, small
governmental jurisdictions, or small organizations.)
The RFA requires that existing regulations that have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities are to be reviewed within 10 years of promulgation of the
regulations. As part of that process, EPA invites public comment
identifying any existing EPA rules believed to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Comments
should be provided in the following format:
Title
Authorizing statute and CFR citation
Description of economic effects on small entities, especially
on the commenting person or organization
Recommendations for changes
Any additional detailed comments or data are welcome.
When the EPA completes its review of an existing rule, it will
indicate in the agenda whether that rulemaking will be continued
without change or will be amended or rescinded consistent with the
stated objectives of applicable statutes to minimize any
significant economic impact of the regulations upon a substantial
number of small entities.
The agenda is organized by statute and ordered numerically
within each statutory area. Entries within each statute are divided
into four categories: (1) Prerule, (2) proposed rule, (3) final
rule, and (4) completed actions (i.e., regulations that EPA is
deleting from the agenda because the Agency has completed,
withdrawn, or postponed them indefinitely). Detailed information on
each of these categories is presented below. A bullet ()
preceding an entry indicates that this is the first time this entry
appears in an agenda.
I. Prerulemakings
Prerulemaking actions are activities intended to determine
whether to initiate rulemaking. These activities include anything
that influences or leads to rulemaking, such as advance notices of
proposed rulemaking, significant studies or analyses of the
possible need for regulatory action, requests for public comment on
the need for regulatory action, or important pre-regulatory policy
proposals.
II. Proposed and Final Rules
This section includes all significant EPA regulations. EPA
lists regulations in this category of the agenda that are within a
year of proposal or promulgation. The listings, however, generally
exclude (a) specialized categories of actions (e.g., EPA approvals
of State plans and other actions that do not apply nationally) and
(b) routine actions (e.g., pesticide tolerances and minor
amendments to existing rules).
The Agency has attempted to list all regulations and regulatory
reviews except those considered as minor, routine, or repetitive
actions. There is no legal significance to the inadvertent omission
of an item from the listing. The agenda reflects dates for actions
on each item; these dates are estimates that should not be
construed as an Agency commitment to act on or by the date shown.
The Administrator of EPA will be reviewing the items contained in
this agenda over the next 6 months. Items in this agenda may be
deleted, or new items may be added, as a result of that review.
III. Completed Actions
These are actions that appeared in the previous agenda, which
EPA is deleting because they are completed or are no longer under
consideration for rulemaking.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 185; 40 CFR 186

Abstract: The Agency is proposing to revoke food additive tolerances
for a number of pesticide carcinogens in processed food because of the
Delaney clause. The Delaney clause prohibits chemicals in processed
foods that induce cancer in man or lab animals. This rulemaking is the
result of a decision by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
which ruled application of a strict interpretation of the Delaney
clause. EPA will issue these proposals in a phased manner to facilitate
science and policy issues and comments.

Abstract: Between April 15, 1994 and October 20, 1997, the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) allows agricultural workers to accumulate 15
separate days of entry into a treated area before they must receive EPA
approved safety training. Due to this grace period, a frequent change
of employers may expose these workers to pesticides for extended
periods without adequate training. The WPS also requires the retraining
of agricultural workers at least every 5 years. Retraining may not be
frequent enough to be effective. Public comment will be requested
concerning these two issues, and possibly other issues which might be
identified.

Abstract: EPA will make clear that the substances that plants produce
to protect themselves against pests and disease are pesticides under
the FIFRA section 2 definition of ``pesticide.'' The Agency designates
these substances along with the genetic material necessary to produce
them, as ``plant-pesticides.'' The Agency will clarify that the focus
of EPA's regulation will be on these substances rather than on the
plants that produce the pesticidal substance. The Agency will define
the categories of plant-pesticides that would be regulated and those
that would be exempt under FIFRA and FFDCA. For those plant-pesticides
that would be subject to Agency requirements, the Agency will outline
the process by which these pesticides will be regulated.

Abstract: This rule would require that pesticide total release foggers
be labeled with additional flammability precautionary statements
(including possibly a graphic symbol), and more precise use directions.
Total release foggers have been implicated in a number of fires and
explosions because of their flammable propellants. The labeling of
these products has been determined to be inadequate to mitigate this

Economically significant: Undetermined
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 7 USC 136w/FIFRA 25(b)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 152.20

Abstract: Under FIFRA, EPA regulates antimicrobial products, including
sterilants, used to control microorganisms on treated environmental
surfaces. Specifically, EPA regulates all sterilant products typically
used on invasive medical devices and other critical devices/surfaces.
Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has jurisdiction over chemical germicides
used as sterilants for medical devices. FIFRA section 25(b) allows EPA
to exempt from FIFRA a pesticide which is adequately regulated by
another federal agency. In accordance with a Memorandum of
Understanding signed on June 4, 1993, EPA and FDA propose to eliminate
the redundant regulation of these sterilants. EPA proposes to exempt
from FIFRA regulation and to transfer sole jurisdiction over these
sterilants to FDA.

Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 7 USC 136w(h)/FIFRA 25(b)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 152
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Pesticides which are substances or mixtures intended to
control or mitigate pests, are regulated under FIFRA and are required
to be registered prior to sale or distribution in the United States.
This requires pre-market review of scientific data to ensure that the
pesticide use will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on human
health and the environment. Some substances that fit the definition of
a pesticide may be widely used in foods or for other non-pesticidal
purposes, e.g., natural cedar wood. These pesticides are considered
innocuous or are otherwise of a character that do not require
registration. EPA proposes to exempt appropriate pesticides (to be
cited in the proposal) from registration and develop criteria for
future pesticides that may qualify for exemption from FIFRA
requirements. A proposal to exempt natural cedar products is the first
rule.

pesticide use limitation bulletins to be distributed as an extension of
pesticide labels. Pesticides that are determined to cause harm to
endangered species will require label changes which display
precautionary statements and directions on how to obtain county
bulletins. EPA will coordinate the program with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service of the Department of Interior and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.

Legal Deadline: None
Section 112 of the CAA indirectly imposes deadlines on this test rule,
inasmuch as the test data is needed to carry out programs and
activities that have statutory deadlines.
Abstract: A multi-chemical endpoint test rule will require the testing
of many chemicals for a specific effect or endpoint. This type of rule
is an alternative to single chemical rules which require testing of one
chemical for many effects. The multi-chemical endpoint rule approach
will obtain testing while conserving Agency resources. EPA is proposing
health effects testing under TSCA section 4 in support of programs and
activities required under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA),
governing Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Section 112 of the CAA
directs EPA to determine the risk to health and the environment
remaining after application of a technology-based standard to major and
area sources. Section 112 also sets forth a mechanism for revising and
modifying the statutory list of 189 HAPs under section 112(b),
requirements for an accidental release control program, requirements
for an urban air toxics program, a mechanism for ranking of hazards for
offsets, and requirements for Great Waters studies. In order to
implement these and other programs and requirements under section 112,
EPA must identify the health and (cont)

Abstract: The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) receives thousands of
reports each year with release, transfer, and other data indicating
zero or low volumes. Since EPA is pursuing a vigorous expansion plan
for both chemicals and new sources, the Agency believes that it is also
appropriate to consider the development of a regulatory amendment to
provide relief to TRI submitters, while not significantly affecting the
type and availability of data that satisfy the right-to-know goals of
the law. This action is also in response to two petitions received by
the Agency, one from the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the
other from the American Feed Industries Association (AFIA). The SBA
petition asks EPA to exempt reporters who report releases and transfers
of less than 5,000 pounds, and the AFIA petition asks EPA to exempt the
feed industry SIC code from the rule coverage because of the low volume
releases reported and the lack of risk they contend those releases pose
to the community. EPA is considering several options for a small source
exemption, primarily focusing on the establishment of a volume
threshold, (cont)

Abstract: Action is being taken in order to expand the reporting
universe of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), pursuant to authority
under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
section 313. Additional industry sectors, as defined by SIC code, would
be subject to the same reporting requirements as are currently
reporting facilities. This increase in the number of reporting
facilities will significantly enhance the public's right-to-know about
toxic chemicals released in their communities. The additional data
included in the TRI will provide a more comprehensive portrait of toxic
emissions in the U.S., thus enabling Federal, state, and local agencies
to have adequate data for use in determining appropriate policies and
regulations.

Abstract: Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) itself does not meet the toxicity
criteria for listing on the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). It is the
strong acid process itself which is associated with an increased cancer
incidence. The proposed action would remove IPA from the list of
chemicals for which reporting is required under the Emergency Planning

manufactured by the strong-acid process and thus there are no releases
of IPA reportable under section 313, deletion of IPA from the list
would eliminate erroneous IPA reports.

Abstract: EPA is proposing to amend the Asbestos Abatement Projects,
Worker Protection Rule (WPR), by incorporating certain revisions to the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos workplace
standards issued since EPA's WPR was promulgated in 1987. The proposal
would generally extend the coverage provided under the OSHA Asbestos
Standard for Construction to State and local government employees who
are not covered by OSHA or EPA-approved State plans. It would also
extend coverage provided under OSHA's Asbestos Standard for general
industry for brake and clutch repair to such employees, and would
clarify that they include prisoners and students employed by the State
and/or local government. EPA also proposes to delegate authority to
grant or deny State exclusions under the WPR to EPA Regional
Administrators and to add compliance and enforcement requirements for
State exclusions. In addition, EPA is proposing to amend the Asbestos-
Containing Materials in Schools Rule by reloading certain worker
protection provisions into the WPR.

Abstract: EPA is using its authority under TSCA section 4 to require
health effects testing on 11 chemical substances to fulfill data needs
identified by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and EPA pursuant to
CERCLA section 104(i). ATSDR is charged with developing ``Toxicological
Profiles'' for hazardous substances most commonly found at Superfund
NPL sites and which pose a significant potential threat to health,
identifying data gaps and needs, and developing a testing program.
ATSDR's data needs underwent a process of review by NTP and EPA in
order to avoid duplicative testing. In addition, various other federal
agencies were given an opportunity to indicate their interest in
testing specific endpoints for chemicals on the list. This health
effects research program will supplement the substance-specific
information needs of the public and the scientific community and will
supply exposure and toxicity information which will assist in the
development of ATSDR health assessments on Superfund NPL sites.

Abstract: A multi-chemical endpoint test rule will require the testing

bioaccumulation. This type of rule is an alternative to single chemical
rules which require testing of one chemical for many effects. The
multi-chemical endpoint rule approach will obtain testing while
conserving on Agency resources. The multi-chemical rule for persistent
bioaccumulators will obtain environmental effects and chemical fate
data on chemicals that are believed to persist and bioaccumulate in the
environment. Emerging environmental concerns have focused on sediments
contaminated with chemicals which are persistent (do not degrade) and
bioaccumulate (may enter the human food chain). In addition, such
chemicals are also typically toxic to aquatic and terrestrial
organisms. EPA has identified over 30 chemicals for possible inclusion
in the bioaccumulator test rule.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721; 40 CFR 750; 40 CFR 745
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This action initiates a regulatory investigation under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 6 to determine if uses of
lead (Pb) present an unreasonable risk to human health and the
environment. The investigation will involve examination of the
potential sources of human or other exposure to lead throughout the
life cycle. Based on information gathered EPA may propose TSCA section
6(a) rules to control existing or new uses of Pb which pose an
unreasonable risk to human health or the environment, and to explore
the desirability and feasibility of discouraging overall consumption of
Pb in general. In particular, EPA has begun regulatory investigation on
three uses of lead: solder in drinking water systems, plumbing
fixtures, and fishing sinkers.

Abstract: The Agency is investigating the need to reduce residential
exposure to formaldehyde, an irritating gas, that is emitted by urea-
formaldehyde (UF) resins contained in pressed wood building materials
and products using regulatory and non-regulatory options. UF pressed
woods are used to build conventional and manufactured homes and to
construct cabinets and furniture. In 1992, the Agency supported
voluntary efforts by industry to reduce emissions from UF particleboard
flooring products and to codify such reductions in a voluntary national
consensus product standard. The Agency is also: (1)implementing an
exposure testing program to characterize formaldehyde concentrations in
newly built homes and to determine how long high concentrations of the
gas persist, (2)preparing information on formaldehyde for public
dissemination, and (3)supporting research to evaluate the effectiveness
of furniture product emission standards for reducing formaldehyde in
office buildings. Activities are being coordinated with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC). Regulations under Toxic Substances Control Act

Abstract: The ANPRM solicits comments on alternate disposal methods for
non-liquid PCBs and invites public input on modifications to the PCB
disposal regulations. In February 1990, several parties petitioned EPA
under Section 21 of TSCA to amend the regulations at 40 CFR 761, which
govern the disposal of PCBs, and issue an interpretive rule or
declaratory order construing the existing PCB disposal regulations. In
responding to the petition, EPA agreed to initiate a regulatory
investigation to determine whether or not to amend the disposal
regulations. After analyzing the comments received in response to the
ANPRM, a proposed rule will be drafted which will also address
alternative disposal methods for newly identified scenarios such as
large volume solids; mixed wastes such as PCB/radioactive wastes; and
other issues, such as disposal of household wastes, small capacitors,
and used paints. This notice will also solicit comments on a
modification to the disposal regulations which would allow for the
recognition of PCB waste management activities under other Federal or
State authorities. Finally, this rule incorporates a reproposal of the
April 6, 1990 proposed rule (cont)

Abstract: The original Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) chemical list
consisted of 320 chemicals and chemical categories. In an effort to
provide the public with a broader picture of chemicals that will have
to submit information for the Toxics Release in their communities, EPA
is expanding the original TRI chemical list. On January 12, 1994 (59 FR
1788), EPA published a proposed rule to add 313 chemicals and chemical
categories to the TRI chemical list. Of the 313 chemicals and chemical
categories proposed, there are approximately 160 pesticide active
ingredients. The chemicals and chemical categories being proposed were
selected from numerous other regulatory lists and meet the criteria for
human health and environmental toxicity in addition is extremely toxic
to aquatic organisms, EPCRA section 313(d)(2). In addition, the
chemicals passed a production volume screen to ensure that reports
would be received if the substance is added to the TRI chemical list.

Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 15 USC 2603/TSCA 4
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 799.5050
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: A multi-chemical endpoint test rule will require the testing
of many chemicals for a specific effect or endpoint, e.g.,
neurotoxicity. This type of rule is an alternative to single chemical
rules which require testing of one chemical for many effects. The
multi-chemical endpoint rule approach will obtain a significant amount
of testing while conserving on Agency resources. The multi-chemical
rule for developmental and reproductive toxicity testing will require
testing of twelve chemicals for developmental and/or reproductive
effects; the multi-chemical rule for neurotoxicity testing will obtain
base set neurotoxicity testing of ten high production solvents. These
rules may be amended in the future to require the same testing for
other chemicals. Also, future multi-chemical rules will require testing
of additional endpoints and chemicals. The testing requirements for
each chemical in a multi-chemical rule will be listed in a single table
by chemical under section 799.5050. This table will be amended with
each publication of a new multi-chemical rule.

PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5(E) ORDERS
Legal Authority: 15 USC 2604/TSCA 5
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 721
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: When the Agency determines that uncontrolled manufacture,
import, processing, distribution, use or disposal of a premanufacture
notification notice (PMN) substance may present an unreasonable risk,
it may issue a section 5(e) consent order to limit these activities.
However, such orders apply only to the PMN submitter. Once the new
substance is entered on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
chemical inventory, others can manufacture, import or process the
substance without controls. Therefore, EPA extends the controls to
apply to others by designating manufacture, import or processing of the
substances for uses without the specified controls as significant new
uses. Under the Expedited Follow-Up Rule, which became effective on
October 10, 1989 (54 FR 31314), EPA routinely publishes batch SNURs
containing routine section 5(e) and non-5(e) SNURs. However, certain
activities, such as modifications, withdrawals, revocations, and SNURs
upon which comments are received in the direct final publication
process, are subject to notice and comment rulemaking and are listed

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This action will amend the PMN rules (40 CFR 720 to 723)
under Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to conform
to current policy needs. These changes are necessary to increase
efficiency and incorporate proposed program improvements. They are
expected to reduce the administrative burdens/cost of the New Chemicals
Program and the overall number of Section 5 submissions while
maintaining an effective and environmentally sound program. EPA has
identified ``low-risk'' categories that meet certain established
criteria and can be screened out of the full PMN review process at an
early date based on low health/environmental concern or low exposure
scenarios. EPA would like to reduce the burden to PMN submitters and
maximize the efficiency and resources of the program by modifying the
rule to reduce reporting requirements for low-risk categories. This
would enable the Agency to reduce the number of Section 5 submissions
and concentrate its resources on PMNs with potential health or
environmental concerns.

The Consent Decree between EPA, EDF, and NWF signed July 27, 1988,
requires that EPA make best efforts to issue a final rule by November
30, 1992.
Abstract: The objective of this project is to reduce the unreasonable
risks posed by dioxins and furans in bleached wood pulp and paper mill
industrial sludge. In response to a July 1988 Consent Decree with the
Environmental Defense Fund and the National Wildlife Federation, EPA
announced on April 30, 1990, its schedule for a proposed rule under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), addressing the practice of
industrial sludge land application, including mine reclamation and
distribution/marketing. The Consent Decree required that this rule be
proposed by April 30, 1991, and that EPA make its best efforts to issue
a final rule by November 30, 1992. The proposed rule was published on
May 10, 1992 at 58FR 21802. The analysis of new data received during
the public comment period and by the Office of Water under section 308
of the Clean Water Act may require an additional comment period and
delay promulgation of the final rule. On December 14, 1992, EPA
informed EDF and NWF of the status of its efforts to evaluate and
control risks from the land application of sludge produced from the
treatment of wastewater from pulp (cont)

ABSTRACT CONT: and paper mills using chlorine and chlorine-derivative
bleaching processes. It is EPA's position that following this
notification, EPA has fulfilled its obligations under the settlement
for the sludge rule and is no longer subject to court supervision
regarding those obligations. EPA's Office of Water and Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards are developing integrated effluent
guidelines and emission standards for the pulp and paper industry. In
light of these proceedings and to promote multi-media pollution
prevention the Agency has chosen to defer the decision on promulgation
of the final land application rule to take into account the effect of
the process changes under consideration for these rules on the
resulting leels of dioxin and furan contamination in the sludge. Once
this determination has been made, the Agency will reevaluate the risk
from sludge land application and will be able to choose, if necessary,
the appropriate regulatory or nonregulatory mechanism to address the
situation. The Agency expects to make this determination in 1995.

Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 15 USC 2605/TSCA 6
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 764
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: On October 2, 1991, EPA proposed a regulation of acrylamide
and NMA grouts based on the unreasonable risk associated with their
usage. EPA's proposed rule would prohibit the manufacture, distribution
in commerce, and use of acrylamide grout; and would prohibit all uses
of NMA grout, except its use for sewer line repair. The proposed rule
would also prohibit, after a period of three years, the manufacture and
distribution in commerce of NMA grout for any purpose, and the use of
NMA grout for sewer line repair. EPA will review the public comments
and develop a final rule.

Abstract: This rule would relax the regulatory requirements for
reclassifying PCB transformers to a lower regulatory status by
modifying the current reclassification requirements of 50 degree
centigrade temperature and 90-day testing. Results of a preliminary
analysis indicate that many transformers never reach the required
temperature, but still reduce PCB concentrations and that safety risks
to employees and to the general public occur in mandating the continued
adherence to the current regulations.

Abstract: The TSCA section 8(e) ``Notice of Clarification and
Solicitation of Public Comment'' would amend certain aspects of the
1978 TSCA section 8(e) Statement of Interpretation and Enforcement

types of information that EPA considers reportable under section 8(e),
the ``substantial risk'' reporting provision of TSCA, and describes the
procedures for reporting such information to EPA. This clarification
effort derives from a review of the existing section 8(e) guidance done
in the context of questions raised by companies considering
participating in the Section 8(e) Compliance Audit Program (CAP). As a
result of this review, EPA determined that parts of the 1978 Policy
Statement concerning the reportability of information on ``widespread
and previously unsuspected distribution in environmental media'' and
``emergency incidents of environmental contamination'' needed some
refinement. The subject Federal Register action solicited comment on

Significance:
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 33 USC 1251/CWA 303
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 131
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act (the Act) added
section 303(c)(2)(B). This section essentially provides for the
adoption of specific numerical criteria for all toxic pollutants which
could reasonably be expected to interfere with designated uses. At the
initiation of the rulemaking resulting in the National Toxics Rule, New
Mexico was determined to be in compliance with section 303(c)(2)(B) of
the Act. On October 8, 1991, New Mexico adopted revisions to its
standards which affected compliance with acute toxicity criteria which
allow biomonitoring to supersede numerical criteria. In the preamble of
the National Toxics Rule, New Mexico was identified as no longer being
in compliance, and the potential for separate rulemaking was noted. EPA
Region 6 disapproved the New Mexico standards, as the State's standards
were no longer in compliance with section 303(c)(2)(B) of the Act. EPA
Region 6 will promulgate language necessary to bring New Mexico into
compliance with section 303(c)(2)(B) of the Act.

Hudson Riverkeeper and others have filed suit in the US District Court
for the southern district of New York to compel EPA to re- promulgate
regulations under sec 316(b). Negotiations are ongoing
Abstract: In response to the increasing number of requests from Region
and States for guidance on implementing section 316(b) of the Clean
Water Act (the Act), the Office of Water plans to conduct a 3-year data
collection and analysis phase to quantify the adverse impacts from
cooling water intake structures and the efficacy of current and
prototype control mechanisms. Upon conclusion of the data collection
and analysis, the workgroup will develop options for regulatory
development (type of regulation, setting a performance standard for
decision criteria) and then proceed along a standard regulatory
development path to final regulation signature. This initiative is
particularly significant since the current lack of national standards
for intake structures allows situations where significant percentages
of aquatic communities have been severely impacted either by
entrainment or impingement at the cooling water intake. This regulation
is needed to establish the technological control floor for minimizing
adverse impacts (as stated in section 316(b) of the Act), to encourage
the development of better methods to reduce adverse impacts, and to
increase consistency in the application of section 316(b).

Abstract: This action would revise the current NPDES Permit Application
regulations and forms. Standard Form A (municipal wastewater) and Short
Form A (municipal wastewater), reflect amendments to the Clean Water
Act and changes in program requirements and emphasis. The new
application form must replace the old versions and enable permit
writers to obtain more pertinent information regarding expected
discharges and the environmental impact of proposed operations. This
action would also develop a sewage sludge permit application form (Form
2S) and revise permit application regulations to foster the issuance of
permits implementing the Agency's standards for sludge use or disposal.
Finally, this action will revise the NPDES regulations to require all
applicants to submit this information to the appropriate (state or
Federal) permitting authority.

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, April 6, 1994.
We are currently in settlement negotiations, and expect to reach
agreement on a December 15, 1994 date for signature of the final rule.
Abstract: On December 15, 1993, the Administrator signed a notice
proposing federal water quality standards for the San Francisco Bay/
Delta estuary. EPA had been sued by numerous environmental groups to
propose such standards following its disapproval of portions of the
State's water quality standards in September 1991. EPA Region 9
disapproved the State's standards because they were not adequate to
protect the designated fish and wildlife uses of the estuary, as
required by section 303 of the Clean Water Act. EPA took this action in
conjunction with rulemakings by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and
National Marine Fisheries under the Endangered Species Act, all of
which were published together on January 6, 1994.

Consent Order: EPA plans to sign a settlement agreement in LEAF vs. EPA
to promulgate final standards 22 months after the settlement agreement.
Abstract: EPA Region IV disapproved portions of Florida's water quality
standards in October 1991. The Clean Water Act requires EPA to promptly
promulgate replacement standards when a State fails to revise State
standards to comply. This rulemaking will establish Federal standards
to replace portions of the State's antidegradation policy and will
serve to delete their portions of the policy.

Abstract: The revisions to the regulations primarily are intended to
respond to statutory changes made to sec. 301(h) of the Clean Water Act
(33 USC 1311(h)), which governs secondary treatment waivers for
municipal discharges into marine waters. The statutory changes to be
addressed include, among other things, new requirements for minimum
treatment levels and additional requirements for pretreatment programs
for certain waiver applicants. In addition, the Agency is considering
revising the regulations to address more specifically procedures and
requirements for the renewal of secondary treatment waivers. The
revised regulations will affect only the limited number of municipal
treatment plants which met the 1982 statutory deadline for applying for
a secondary treatment waiver.

Subject to OMB review: Yes
Economically significant: Yes

Legal Authority: 33 USC 1342/CWA 402
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 122
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Approximately 1100 cities nationwide have combined sewer
systems that overflow resulting in discharges of raw sewage, industrial
and commercial wastewaters and stormwaters. Combined Sewer Overflows
(CSO's) are responsible for significant public health and water quality
problems such as beach closures and shellfish bed closures. CSOs are
point source discharges that are subject to the technology and water
quality requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and are required to
be permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. This CSO policy
establishes a common framework and provides guidance to cities with
CSOs, NPDES Authorities and water quality standards authorities on how
to bring CSOs into compliance with the CWA and existing EPA
regulations. Implementation of the CSO Control Policy is within the
existing authorities of the Act and EPA regulations. The Policy, in
part, is the result of extensive discussions and negotiations of the
key stakeholders (e.g., municipal governments, environmental groups,
and States).

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, and Soil Conservation Service
proposed to incorporate portions of the Federal Manual for Identifying
and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands into the regulations governing
the agencies' wetland protection programs. These portions reflect
revisions to the manual proposed on August 4, 1991 (56 FR 40446). Since
publication of the proposed revisions, EPA and the Corps have adopted
the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual and the
National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has been funded to study wetlands
delineation. The 1987 Wetlands Delineation Manual will be used pending
the Federal agencies evaluation of the NAS study, and if it is
determined that the 1987 Manual should be revised to respond to
recommendations of the NAS, any proposed changes will be the subject of
a process that will provide full opportunity for public comment.

mitigation sequence (i.e., avoid, minimize, and compensate) for
proposed discharges of dredged or fill material into wetlands in the
State of Alaska. This rule was proposed to implement a provision of the
August 1991 President's Wetlands Plan which provided for States with
less than a one percent historic rate of wetlands development to
satisfy permit requirements through minimization of impacts.

Abstract: This rule will set an MCLG and revised NPDWR for arsenic in
drinking water, pursuant to the SDWA amendments of 1986. The SDWA
requires EPA to promulgate national primary drinking water regulations
for 83 specific contaminants of which arsenic is one. The SDWA directs
EPA to promulgate MCLGs at a level at which, in the Administrator's
judgment, ``no known or anticipated adverse effects on the health of
persons occur and which allows for an adequate margin of safety.'' MCLs
are the federally enforceable standards and are set as close to the
MCLGs as is feasible, taking costs into consideration. Arsenic poses a
cancer risk.

Abstract: EPA is scheduled to propose MCLGs and NPDWRs for 25
contaminants from the 1991 Drinking Water Priority List, as required by
the SDWA of 1986. The SDWA requires regulation of at least 25
contaminants from the Drinking Water Priority List, which are known or
anticipated to occur in public water systems, every three years
starting in 1991. The SDWA directs EPA to promulgate MCLGs at a level
at which, in the Administrator's judgment, ``no known or anticipated
adverse effects occur and which allows for an adequate margin of
safety.'' MCLs are federally enforceable standards and are set as close
to the MCLGs as is feasible, taking costs into consideration. The 25
contaminants come from two groups of contaminants: disinfection
byproducts (Phase VIA) and organic and inorganic chemicals (Phase VIB).
The disinfection byproducts portion of this rule is just completing
regulatory negotiation. It is now composed of two rules: the

by injection wells. Previously promulgated regulations specified
minimum standards and technical requirements for Class I-IV wells.
Class V wells, including certain septic systems and a variety of
drainage wells, are the subject of this action. EPA intends to
establish a regulatory framework for the management of these wells that
will protect against contamination of groundwater while recognizing the
difficulties of this diverse well class. Development of any regulatory
program will focus on providing maximum flexibility to State, sub-
state, and local entities. EPA will characterize risks associated with
various Class V injection wells since data are unavailable for risk
assessments on an individual subcategory basis.

Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves
analytical methods for analyzing regulated drinking water contaminants.
Periodically, the Agency withdraws approval of outdated methods,
updates older methods, and/or approves new methods. In this regulatory
effort, EPA will accomplish all three actions for a number of
contaminants regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. These
revisions have been evaluated and recommended for use by EPA's Office
of Research and Development and by various standards setting
organizations. Laboratory acceptance limits, detection limits and other
method performance requirements that were specified under previous
rules will not be changed in this rulemaking. This rule should decrease
the cost of monitoring by broadening the number of regulated chemicals
that can be measured by a method. Based on comments received during
proposal the Agency will divide this action into two final rules. The
first rule will cover the methods for which no comments were received.
The second rule will cover the methods for which comments were
received. This approach will expedite promulgation of noncontroversial
methods.

Abstract: This action will modify certain regulations distinguishing
``listed'' hazardous waste. Certain current regulations, including the
``mixture'' and the derived-from'' rules, apply to ``listed'' wastes
regardless of the concentrations and the mobility of toxicants in the
wastes, thereby regulating certain low risk waste, in particularly,
treatment residuals. The modifications will establish exemption
standards for these low risk ``listed'' hazardous waste management
requirements. EPA intends to propose these modifications by March 1995
and promulgate the final rules approximately one year later.

wastes (HHW) or Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG)
hazardous wastes. In October 1991, EPA promulgated the Municipal Solid
Waste Landfill Criteria (40 CFR 258), thereby satisfying part of the
statutory mandate. EPA is under a settlement agreement with the Sierra
Club to fulfill the remainder of the statutory mandate by promulgating
revised Criteria for the remaining types of solid waste disposal
facilities that my receive CESQG hazardous wastes. Depending on actual
practices at specific facilities, these revised Criteria might be
applicable to commercial and private industrial waste facilities and
construction and demolition waste facilities managing non-hazardous
wastes.

Abstract: The Agency is proposing to amend the regulations for
hazardous waste management under RCRA by amending the basis for listing
a hazardous waste (i.e., pentachlorophenol production wastes) under 40

(i.e., delete part of FO27 - discarded unused formulations of
pentachlorophenol and compounds derived from pentachlorophenol) listed
in 40 CFR 261.33 and to add one waste (i.e., U242 - pentachlorophenol)
to the list of hazardous wastes in 40 CFR 261. FO21 and U242 would no
longer be subject to management standards for acute hazardous wastes.
Lastly, the Agency is proposing to clarify the criteria used in 40 CFR
261.11 for listing solid wastes as hazardous. This rule proposes less
stringent hazardous waste management standards for FO21 and discarded
unused portions containing pentachlorophenol.

Abstract: This action is deregulatory. Used fluorescent lamps often
test hazardous under the Toxicity Characteristic because of their
mercury content. However, available information indicates that these
lamps may not create an environmental problem when disposed in
municipal landfills or sent to mercury reclamation facilities. In
addition, there are substantial environmental benefits from using
fluorescent lamps, primarily due to energy savings. Therefore, the
Agency is considering options for exempting fluorescent lamps from
Toxicity Characteristic and options for reducing Subtitle C
requirements by including lamps in the ``Universal Waste'' rule.

Abstract: EPA is proposing to amend its regulations under RCRA
governing the permitting of hazardous waste management facilities. The
proposed rule expands the opportunities for public participation in the
permitting process and during key permitting milestones. In particular,
EPA is proposing to increase public involvement opportunities
throughout the trial burn phase of the permitting process for
combustion units. The proposed rule amends and clarifies permit
modification classifications pertaining to combustion facilities.
Finally, the proposed rule amends the permitting procedures for interim
status combustion facilities during the trial burn period by making
them more equivalent to the permitting procedures for new combustion
facilities. Many of the amendments being proposed are intended to
implement key aspects fo the Agency's Draft Strategy on Waste
Minimization and Combustion.

``mixture'' and the ``derived-from'' rules, apply to ``contaminated-
media'' wastes regardless of the concentrations and the mobility of
toxicants in the media, thereby regulating certain low-risk media. The
modifications will establish exemption standards for these low-risk
``contaminated media.'' Additionally, the exempted wastes will no
longer be subject to some of the hazardous waste management
requirements. EPA intends to propose these modifications by January of
1995 and promulgate the final rules approximately one year later.

CFR 265.76
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to amend the existing Uniform
Hazardous Waste Manifest rule to make it truly ``uniform'' across the
country. Presently what is supposed to be a ``uniform'' manifest is
instead a patchwork of varying State manifests. Interstate shipments
become quite burdensome when industry must deal with several different
forms with varied requirements. This is compounded since States have
difficulty tracking and verifying interstate loads.
The major issues involve the specific data elements that should be on
the uniform manifest form. Most States want to see a truly uniform
manifest that would be used by all States, but they also want a certain
degree of flexibility to add data elements to suit their needs.
Therefore, the goal of this rulemaking will be to achieve consensus on
a manifest form that all States can live with.
The costs of this action should be minimal to the regulated industry
since the new Federal form will only add a few data elements that in
most cases are already being required by the various State forms.

generators include medical schools, universities, biotechnology
laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies. This new category would
include NRC licensees that generate less than 1000 kg/month of mixed
waste, counting mixed waste as distinct from other hazardous waste. EPA
and NRC must together determine how to ensure adequate protection of
human health and the environment in order for any streamlined
permitting of NRC licensed facilities to be implemented.

Abstract: This action would clarify that Indian Tribes may become
authorized for the Subtitle C hazardous waste program, and that they
may share in grant funds made available to States to assist with their
implementation of authorized hazardous waste programs. The action would
establish a definition of Indian Tribe, and the criteria which a Tribe
must meet for authorization purposes. The rule would further clarify
that Indian Tribes, unlike other States, may be considered for approval
of partial RCRA programs, under criteria that would also be announced
in the rule. The rule is of great symbolic significance to the Tribes,
and it would implement EPA's 1984 Indian Policy by recognizing the
sovereign status of Tribes and their primacy in implementing RCRA. The
rule would deal with the issues of Indian Tribe capability,
alternatives to authorization that also advance Tribes' participation
in RCRA, and special attributes of Indian Tribe jurisdiction. The
action would be closely coordinated with similar efforts in other media
programs.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The RCRA Subtitle D Solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria,
among other provisions, require owners/operators of municipal solid
waste landfills to monitor ground-water to detect releases from their
landfills. The Criteria ban the filtering of ground-water samples in
the field because filtering potentially removes some of the
contamination found in the solid phase of the samples. Since
promulgation of the Criteria, a number of States and industry groups
have stated that it is important to field filter ground-water samples
for metals to avoid potential false indications of releases to ground-
water. The commenters maintain that the analytical results using
filtered samples are sufficiently protective and are as effective as
unfiltered samples specified in the Criteria. This notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) would announce the Agency's intent to perform
additional study on field filtering and solicit further public comment
and data on this issue. In addition, this NPRM would seek comment on
the appropriateness of allowing States/Tribes with EPA-approved permit
programs to lift the ban on a site-specific basis.

Abstract: This action would establish, under Subtitle I of RCRA (as
amended by SARA), requirements for demonstrating financial
responsibility for taking corrective action and compensating third
parties for bodily injury and property damage caused by releases from
underground storage tanks (USTs) containing hazardous substances. An
ANPRM was published to help gather data (e.g., frequency of releases
from such USTs, costs of corrective action and third-party damages, and
the regulated community's financial condition and use of financial
assurance mechanisms) needed for the development of a proposed rule.

Abstract: Following a major inland oil spill with substantial
environmental impacts (i.e., Ashland Oil in Floreffe, PA, in January,
1988) an interagency task force reviewed the adequacy of existing EPA
regulations concerning the prevention and control of oil spills (40 CFR
112). The task force recommended a number of steps to improve and
extend the regulations. The final rule would implement some of the task
force recommendations. It would clarify that many provisions of the
existing regulations that may be interpreted as recommended practices
by the regulated community are in fact required practices.

Abstract: In the final hazardous waste Toxicity Characteristic (TC)
rule, EPA decided to temporarily defer a final decision on the
application of the TC rule to media and debris contaminated with
petroleum from underground storage tanks (USTs) that are subject to UST
corrective action requirements under 40 CFR Part 280. The Agency
believed the UST regulations governing cleanups at these sites would be
adequate in the interim. The application of the TC rule to UST cleanups
was temporarily delayed so that the Agency could evaluate the extent
and nature of these impacts and alternative mechanisms for implementing
UST cleanups. The Agency has completed studies of the characteristics
of UST corrective action sites, and current practices for management of
media and debris under subtitle I State programs. As a result of these
studies, EPA proposed to exempt UST petroleum-contaminated media and
debris from certain portions of EPA's Hazardous Waste Regulations.

Abstract: On March 30, 1992, the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) adopted the Council's Final Decision on the
Control of Transfrontier Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery
Operations. The United States, a member of the OECD, supported the
Decision, which is legally binding. The Decision establishes a
graduated system of procedural controls for the export and import of
wastes for recovery, depending on whether a waste is included in the
green, amber, or red lists. Green wastes are subject only to controls
imposed in normal international commercial shipments. Amber and red
wastes that are considered hazardous are subject to additional controls
regarding notification to and consent from the exporting, importing,
and transit countries; contracts, tracking documents; and
recordkeeping. These provisions are being codified in a final rule
which would replace the current RCRA export/import regulations for
hazardous waste destined for recovery within the OECD. (cont)

Abstract: As required by consent decree, the Agency determined on
December 1, 1992, that additional study of four large-volume wastes --
fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas emission control wastes -
- from the combustion of coal by electric utility power plants was not
necessary, and that a Final Regulatory Determination would be made on
these wastes by August 2, 1993. (This determination was signed on
August 2, 1993 and published in the Federal Register on August 9,
1993). The Agency also determined that for the remaining fossil-fuel
combustion wastes, additional data collection is necessary to make a
Regulatory Determination on these wastes and a final regulatory
determination will be made by April 1, 1998. The phrase ``remaining
wastes'' refers to (1) fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas
emission control wastes from the combustion of coal by electric utility
power plants when such wastes are mixed with, co-disposed, co-treated,
or otherwise co-managed with other wastes generated in conjunction with
the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels, (cont)

3868. TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITY--RCRA AIR EMISSION
STANDARDS
Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Undetermined
Economically significant: Undetermined
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined
Legal Authority: 42 USC 6924/RCRA 3004, 3007
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 264; 40 CFR 265
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, May 1987. Final, Judicial, November
1994.
Abstract: The purpose of this action is to investigate the health and
environmental impacts of non-combustion source air emissions from
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities and to
develop standards for monitoring and control as needed. Sources include
tanks, surface impoundments, landfills, waste piles, land treatment
operations and wastewater treatment facilities. Pollutants to be
considered by such standards would include volatile organic compounds,
particulate matter, specific toxic substances, or a combination of
these. The mandate for standards development under RCRA is to protect
human health and the environment. The Agency has adopted a three-phase
approach: Phase I regulates organic emission from equipment leaks and
process vents; Phase II will address tanks, containers, surface
impoundments, and miscellaneous units; and Phase III will address
residual risk associated with particular hazardous organic
constituents.
