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 regulatory actions scheduled to 
take place within the following year, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Reinventing Environmental Regulation

    The Environmental Protection Agency is committed to reinventing 
environmental regulation so as to offer greater protection for less 
cost. To further this goal, the President has directed EPA to take 
immediate steps to improve the current regulatory system through a 
comprehensive review of all existing regulations. To meet this 
goal, the Agency is performing a comprehensive reexamination of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to identify rules that are 
obsolete or no longer applicable or which could be modified or 
simplified to reduce compliance costs while still protecting human 
health and the environment. By June 1, the Agency expects to 
identify those regulations that can be removed from the CFR in 
whole or in part, as well as those that are scheduled for 
modification or for further study. At the same time, EPA is 
subjecting its paperwork requirements to rigorous reexamination. 
The Agency has set a target of reducing paperwork burden on the 
public by 25 percent. Toward this end, the Agency is responding to 
the President's instruction to reduce reporting requirements by 
half wherever legal and appropriate.

    Additionally, EPA is building and enhancing partnerships with 
the regulated community through increased stakeholder outreach and 
involvement. The Agency is seeking to increase participation by the 
private sector and other governmental entities in its efforts to 
improve its regulatory programs. In this respect, the President 
recently announced a program of 25 substantial actions EPA will 
take to carry out its mission of environmental protection in more 
flexible and publicly responsive ways. These initiatives include 
such varied steps as expanding the use of market incentives to 
promote environmentally responsible behavior, addressing the most 
stringent regulation and enforcement to problems posing the highest 
public risks, and experimenting with novel solutions to the real 
environmental problems posed by an industry or locality when 
generally applicable mandates may prove ineffective or inefficient 
in a specific application.

    This agenda will not fully reflect these efforts because the 
Agency is still working with many public organizations to define 
their nature and scope. The October edition of the agenda will more 
comprehensively describe the actions EPA is taking to meet the 
goals described above.

How the Agenda Is Organized

    Each agenda entry includes the title, legal authority, CFR 
reference, legal deadline, abstract, schedule for completion, any 
analysis under way, and an Agency contact person for each action 
under way.

    EPA's agenda entries also comply with the requirements of 
Executive Order 12866. Each entry indicates in the ``Priority'' 
section if the action was published in the November 1994 Regulatory 
Plan. This means that this action is a priority for the Agency and 
has been or will be reviewed by OMB under Executive Order 12866. 
Actions that do not indicate that they are part of the Regulatory 
Plan may also be subject to OMB review if they are deemed 
``significant'' as defined in the Executive order.

    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 are subject 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 9, 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 
[[Page 23929]] 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 with significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities are to be 
reviewed within 10 years of promulgation of the regulations. While, 
as described above, EPA is currently reexamining all of its 
existing regulations, the Agency recognizes that many rules will 
require detailed study before they may be appropriately modified or 
retained. As part of that process, as well as under the 
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 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 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 or long-term actions (i.e., regulations 
that EPA is deleting from the agenda because the Agency has 
completed, withdrawn, or postponed them indefinitely, as well as 
actions under preparation that will not be published until after 
the 1-year horizon for this agenda). 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 preregulatory policy 
proposals.

II. Proposed and Final Rules

    This section includes all substantial EPA regulations. To focus 
the public's attention on the most timely actions, 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 review 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 or Long-Term Actions

    This section contains actions that appeared in the previous 
agenda but which EPA is deleting because they are completed or no 
longer under consideration for rulemaking. This section also 
includes previously listed actions with publication dates beyond 
the next 12 months. Please note that the Agency will continue to 
work with the public to develop partnerships and information 
necessary to support these rulemakings with long-term publication 
dates.

Abstract: EPA is reassessing the pesticide tolerance-setting process 
with the goal of improving public health protection provided by the 
tolerance process, increasing public confidence in the safety of the 
food supply, clarifying and simplifying the process for all affected 
parties, and utilizing the most cost-efficient methods for 
implementation and compliance.

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  21 USC 348/FFDCA 409

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 185; 40 CFR 186

Legal Deadline:

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 [[Page 23943]] 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.

Legal Authority:  7 USC 136a; 7 USC 136w

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 158

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This amendment will update the existing data requirements (40 
CFR 158) for evaluating the registerability of pesticide products. 
Reasons for the revisions include recent health and environmental 
concerns (e.g., groundwater contamination, worker exposure and 
neurotoxicity) advancements in testing technology, and new ecological 
risk testing approaches. The revisions will clarify all data 
requirements to reflect current practice. Procedural and explanatory 
sections of 40 CFR 158 will be amended to make them consistent with the 
revised data requirements and new use indexing implemented pursuant to 
1988 FIFRA amendments.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  7 USC 136a(d); 7 USC 136i(e); 7 USC 136j

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 152.170

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The regulation will designate certain individual pesticides 
to be subject to EPA approved State Management Plans (SMPs) as a 
condition of legal sale and use. This regulation would establish SMPs

3550.  PESTICIDE LABELING CLAIMS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  7 USC 136 - 136y/FIFRA 2, 3, and 25

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 156.10

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA proposes to modify its labeling regulations that 
currently prohibit various kinds of false or misleading statements to 
allow, in the Agency's discretion, certain types of claims to appear on 
pesticide labeling. The rule would not specify criteria or claims that 
would be permitted. Permitted statements would be addressed through the 
registration program. By permitting certain types of claims or 
information on labels that currently is prohibited, EPA expects that 
pesticide users will be able to make better informed choices about 
products that are lower risk or more efficient or have environmentally 
preferable characteristics. This rule would not be proposed until after 
non-regulatory criteria or specific allowable types of claims are 
developed, and would be coordinated as needed with an ongoing Consumer 
Labeling Initiative addressing consumer pesticides and other chemicals.

Abstract: EPA will make clear that the substances that plants produce 
to protect themselves against pests and disease are pesticides under 
FIFRA. 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 and the information that would be needed 
in the Agency's review.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 180

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The current crop grouping regulations allow establishment of 
pesticide tolerances for multiple related crops based upon data for a 
representative set of crops. EPA has proposed to revise the crop 
grouping regulations by providing additional options for crop grouping. 
These revisions would promote greater utilization of crop grouping for 
tolerance-setting purposes. Revisions to the crop grouping scheme that 
would increase its utilization will reduce the regulatory burden 
associated with residue data development in support of pesticide 
tolerances and registration.

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. 
Some pesticides may also 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.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 789 to 795

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. [[Page 23949]] In

Priority:  Regulatory Plan

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2607(a)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 710

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action would require chemical manufacturers to report to 
EPA the industrial and consumer end uses of chemicals they produce. 
Currently, EPA requires chemical manufacturers to report the names of 
the chemicals they produce, as well as the locations of manufacturing 
facilities and the quantities produced. About 4,000 facilities reported 
data on about 8,000 unique chemicals during the last reporting cycle 
under the TSCA Inventory Update Rule (IUR). Data obtained would be used 
by EPA and others to: Better understand the potential for chemical 
exposures and then screen the chemicals now in commerce and identify 
those of highest concern; Establish priorities and goals for their 
chemical assessment, risk management and prevention programs and 
monitor their progress; Encourage pollution prevention by identifying 
potentially safer substitute chemicals for uses of potential concern; 
and Enhance the effectiveness of chemical risk communication efforts. 
EPA has held meetings with representatives of the chemical industry, 
environmental groups, environmental justice leaders, labor groups, 
State governments and other Federal agencies to insure public 
involvement in the development of the Chemical Use Inventory project. 
In order to ensure that end use reporting is effective and minimizes 
reporting burdens, EPA plans to engage the regulated community and 
other stakeholders in a regulatory negotiation to generate a proposed 
rule.

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 
and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313. Because IPA is not 
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.

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2601 to 2671; 42 USC 6901 to 6992

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 745

Abstract: Currently, waste derived from lead-based paint (LBP) 
abatements is managed under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
(RCRA) hazardous waste regulations. Other Federal agencies (Department 
of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Human Health Services) 
and several states and advocacy groups have expressed concern that the 
costs associated with the disposal of large volume architectural 
components (e.g., doors and windows) may interfere with abatement 
activities. EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxic Substances 
and the Office of Solid Waste have initiated a joint rulemaking to 
address the disposal of these architectural components. This rulemaking 
would develop disposal standards for these components under the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title IV, (the definition of abatement 
under TSCA Title IV, section 401(1)(B), includes disposal). The TSCA 
regulations would establish appropriate disposal standards for LBP 
architectural components and identify recycling and incineration 
activities that would be controlled or prohibited.

3581.  EVALUATION OF PRODUCTS FOR LEAD-BASED PAINT 
ACTIVITIES

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  PL 102-550, sec 405(f)

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, April 28, 1995.

Abstract: The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 
requires the President to establish by rule, criteria, testing 
protocols, and performance characteristics to ensure that lead-based 
paint hazard evaluation and reduction products are effective. The 
statute urges the use of independent testing laboratories in 
implementing the rule. The statute also allows the President to 
delegate authority for this rulemaking. While the authority has not yet 
been delegated, it is likely to be delegated to EPA.

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. This 
involves identifying data gaps and needs, and developing a testing 
program to meet identified needs. ATSDR's data needs were reviewed by 
NTP and EPA to avoid duplicative testing. Other Federal agencies were 
given an opportunity to indicate their interest in testing specific 
endpoints for chemicals on the list.

3585. MULTI-CHEMICAL ENDPOINT TEST RULE; CHEMICAL FATE AND 
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2603/TSCA 4

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 799.5055

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Multi-chemical endpoint test rules require the testing of 
many chemicals for a specific effect or endpoint, e.g., chemical fate 
and environmental effects (formerly identified in this Agenda as 
``persistent bioaccumulators'' ) . They are an 
[[Page 23952]] alternative to single chemical rules which require 
testing of one chemical for many effects. A multi-chemical endpoint 
rule for chemical fate and environmental effects will include chemicals 
that EPA expects will persist and bioaccumulate in the environment. In 
the past, chemicals such as dioxins, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, 
and the polychlorinated biphenyls that persist (do not degrade), 
bioaccumulate (may enter the human food chain), and may be toxic have 
created widespread environmental concerns. EPA has evaluated chemicals 
on the Toxic Sub stances Control Act (TSCA) inventory for these 
characteristics and has identified chemicals for chemical fate and 
environmental effects testing for additional evaluation of their 
potential risks.

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 Inventory 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 and in 
addition are 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. Part of this activity included the review of 17 
chemicals, previously described in RIN 2070-AC40, 16 of which are from 
a list of hazardous air pollutants subject to the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and one of which was considered for 
addition due to its extreme aquatic toxicity. Of these 17 chemicals, 
nine were included in the proposed rule. Linked to this rule is a 
possible small-source exemption that will provide some measure of 
relief to the reporting community. This exemption will allow facilities 
releasing small amounts of listed chemicals to be exempt from full TRI 
reporting requirements.

3597. AMENDMENTS TO THE ASBESTOS WORKER PROTECTION RULE

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2605; 15 USC 2607(c)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 763 subpart G

Legal Deadline: None

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 relocating certain worker 
protection provisions in the WPR. EPA plans to further update this rule 
to make it consistent with the most recent OSHA rule.

3599. MULTI-CHEMICAL ENDPOINT(S) TEST RULE; DEVELOPMENTAL AND 
REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY, AND NEUROTOXICITY

Priority:  Other Significant

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.

3600. FOLLOW-UP RULES ON NON-5(E) NEW CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES

Priority:  Routine and Frequent

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2604/TSCA 5; 15 USC 2607/TSCA 8

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 704; 40 CFR 721

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA has instituted a program to regulate the commercial 
development of new chemicals that have completed premanufacture notice 
(PMN) review, where activities described in the PMN did not present an 
unreasonable risk but uncontrolled manufacture, import, processing, 
distribution, use, or disposal outside the activities described in the 
PMN may present an unreasonable risk. EPA will issue Significant New 
Use Rules (SNURs) requiring 90-day notification to EPA from any 
manufacturer, importer, or processor who would engage in activities 
that are designated as significant new uses. Under the Expedited 
Follow-up Rule (EFUR) which became effective on October 12, 1989, EPA 
will identify such new chemicals and publish them in a batch SNUR 3-4 
times per year. Chemicals that were subject to a proposed SNUR before 
the effective date of the EFUR or do not qualify under the EFUR, may be 
regulated individually by notice and comment rulemaking and are listed 
below.

3601. CHEMICAL-SPECIFIC SIGNIFICANT NEW USE RULES (SNURS) TO EXTEND 
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5(E) ORDERS

Priority:  Routine and Frequent

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 [[Page 23957]] (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 below.

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.

3606. USE OF ACRYLAMIDE AND N-METHYLOLACRYLAMIDE (NMA) FOR GROUTING

Priority:  Other Significant

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.

RULE

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  15 USC 2605/TSCA 6(e)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 761

Legal Deadline: None

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.

accreditation plan to extend training and accreditation requirements to 
include persons performing certain asbestos-related work in public and 
commercial buildings, to increase the minimum number of training hours 
required for accreditation purposes and to effect other changes 
necessary to implement the amendments. This action will increase 
regulatory costs for the owners and managers of public and commercial

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 
Policy (1978 Policy Statement). The 1978 Policy Statement describes the 
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 
refined reporting guidance concerning widespread and previously

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  CWA 303(d)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 130

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires States 
to identify waters still requiring Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). 
(The TMDL is a tool for achieving State water quality standards. The 
TMDL process provides a framework for solving point and nonpoint source 
pollution problems in an integrated fashion). Current regulations 
implementing section 303(d) require States to submit their list of 
waters requiring TMDLs to EPA every two years. This action will revise 
existing regulations to require States to submit their 303(d) list of 
waters still requiring TMDLs to EPA every five years rather than every 
two years. This revision is part of EPA's goal to comprehensively 
characterize State waters every five years. Currently, waters are 
identified on a number of lists as required by the CWA sections 303(d), 
305(b), 314(a), and 319(a). The Federal Register notice proposing the 
revision will also announce the availability of supplemental TMDL 
guidance which will clarify the definition of a TMDL.

Phase I will respond to minor comments received on the Final Sewage 
Sludge Use and Disposal Round I Rule (Part 503), correct some 
publication errors, and include some technical amendments. The 
technical amendments are minor changes to the regulatory text intended 
to clarify the technical requirements, not to change requirements or to 
impose new requirements. The proposed changes should not have any 
adverse impact on State, local or tribal government as well as small 
businesses since no additional requirements are being imposed. Phase 
Two will address litigation issues and will be proposed later.

Abstract: Several municipal entities and one industry in California 
sued the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in 
State court over whether the SWRCB's water quality control plans for 
inland surface waters and enclosed bays and estuaries were adopted in 
compliance with authorizing State law. The court issued its final 
decision in March, 1994; the Court agreed with the plaintiffs and found 
that the plans could not remain in effect. The SWRCB has been ordered 
to rescind its plans. In the absence of approved State criteria, the 
Clean Water Act requires EPA to promulgate water quality criteria for 
priority toxic pollutants. EPA Region 9 will promulgate water quality 
criteria for priority toxic pollutants for the State of California.

methods would be amended by adding methods for measuring chronic 
toxicity in estuarine and marine species exposed to pollutants in 
effluents and receiving waters. State, local and tribal governments and 
small businesses on the West Coast are already using variations of 
these methods in NPDES permits. This rule will modify existing methods. 
This rule will not have a significant impact on State, local or Tribal 
governments or small businesses on the West Coast.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1251/CWA 303

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 131

Legal Deadline:  Final, Judicial, June 1996.

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. The State has adopted 
revisions which may negate the need for this rule once the State's 
standards are submitted to Region IV for approval.

3626.  STREAMLINED PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING AND 
MAINTAINING APPROVED PUBLICLY-OWNED TREATMENT WORKS PRETREATMENT PROGRAMS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1251/CWA 303

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 403

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under the current regulations, many changes to approved 
publicly owned treatment works (POTW) pretreatment program are not 
effective until formally approved by EPA or the State. The formal 
approval procedures require two public notices of program changes. The 
entire approved POTW pretreatment program is also made a part of the 
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit of the 
POTW that administers the pretreatment program. This means that the 
POTW's NPDES permit must be modified when the pretreatment program is 
revised. There are State and EPA backlogs of pretreatment program 
changes for approval. The double notice procedure is expense and 
normally elicits little public comment.
Under the new regulations, the POTW's NPDES permit will include only 
certain significant elements of the approved POTW pretreatment program. 
EPA or the State will need to approve changes to the POTW pretreatment 
program only where the program is made less restrictive or when EPA or 
the State requests approval. In many cases, only a single public notice 
of a change to [[Page 23963]] the POTW pretreatment program will be 
required.
The new regulations will reduce the administrative burden and cost 
associated with approving and maintaining approved pretreatment 
programs without affecting environmental protection. Impacts on State, 
local and tribal governments and small businesses are expected to be 
positive. The rule is deregulatory.

3627.  GUIDELINES ESTABLISHING OIL AND GREASE TEST 
PROCEDURES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF POLLUTANTS UNDER THE CLEAN WATER ACT

Priority:  Routine and Frequent

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1316/CWA 304(h)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 136

Legal Deadline: None
This proposed method responds to the requirement to phase out Freon 
under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and the Montreal Protocol.

Abstract: This proposed regulation amends the Guidelines establishing 
Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants under section 304(h) of 
the Clean Water Act to replace existing gravimetric test procedures for 
the conventional pollutants, Oil and Grease (40 CFR 401.16) with EPA 
Method 1664 in order to meet the Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) phaseout 
requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Method 1664 uses 
normal hexane (n-hexane) as the extraction solvent in place of 1,1,2-
trichloro-1,2,2-tribluoroethane (CFC-113; Freon-113), which is used in 
current 40 CFR 136 approved methods for the determination of oil and 
grease. Presently approved methods are EPA Method 413.1 in ``Methods 
for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes'' (EPA-600/4-79-020) and 
Method 5520B in ``Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and 
Wastewater, 18th edition.'' This proposal would withdraw approval of 
Methods 413.1 and 5520B because these methods allow the use of CFC-113. 
Method 1664 is also being proposed for the determination of total 
petroleum hydrocarbons.

Priority:  Routine and Frequent

Legal Authority:  CWA section 312(f)(4)(B)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 140.4(b)(1)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under current regulations, vessels are allowed to discharge 
from on-board toilets if equipped with a Coast Guard certified marine 
sanitation device. Section 312(f)(4)(B) of the Clean Water Act directs 
EPA to prohibit these discharges around intakes for public water supply 
in response to State petitions. Action on the NY petition for zones in 
the Hudson River will create the first drinking water intake zones 
established under this part of the Act. In these zones, vessel 
discharges of sewage will be completely prohibited. This means that 
recreational and commercial boats which have on-board toilets will have 
to either pump-out their sewage from holding tanks to pump-out and 
disposal facilities, or discharge in accordance with federal marine 
sanitation device standards outside of the zones.

3629.  CLARIFICATION OF THE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR 
STATES WANTING TO DESIGNATE DRINKING WATER INTAKE ZONES, THEREBY 
PROHIBITING THE DISCHARGE OF VESSEL SEWAGE WITHIN THOSE ZONES

Priority:  Informational

Legal Authority:  Clean Water Act, sec. 312

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 140

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 312 of the Clean Water Act entitled ``Marine 
Sanitation Devices'' was established in the Federal Water Pollution 
Control Act of 1972 to regulate discharges of vessel sewage. EPA is 
developing a technical amendment to clarify the regulations 
implementing section 312. This proposed regulatory amendment to 40 CFR 
Part 140.4(b) would clarify the information required in a State 
application requesting EPA to designate State-specified surface water 
as a drinking water intake zone, thereby making it unlawful for vessels 
to discharge sewage within that zone. This amendment would provide 
guidance to EPA Regions and States on the specific information 
necessary for the designation of a drinking water intake zone.
This amendment will have no impact on small businesses and would only 
affect those State's choosing to request designation of no discharge 
zones. The amendment will not impact local and tribal governments. (The 
Clean Water Act section 518 does not include Tribes 
[[Page 23964]] under ``Treatment as States'' in regards to section 312 
of the Clean Water Act). State and local governments and public water 
supply systems should benefit from improved water quality near their 
drinking water intakes.

Sewage (TWTDS), and to streamline the application process for these 
facilities. The Agency seeks to establish a unified process that 
minimizes the need for additional information from applicants while 
providing permit writers the necessary information, including toxics 
data, to ensure that permits adequately address concerns of permittees 
and environmental protection. The Agency seeks to allow the use of 
existing data and to avoid unnecessary reporting. The Agency is also 
considering how to utilize electronic data submission. Although these 
forms will increase the burden on permittees not already required to 
provide these data, many other permittees are already required to 
submit these data. The Agency is minimizing the need for information 
from small entities, including tribal facilities. The burden on States 
would be minimized and even reduced because of improvements to the 
application forms.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: All existing manufacturing, commercial, mining, and 
silvicultural operations will be required to submit this revised 
application in order to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge 
Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The existing industrial application 
form has not been revised since 1984 and must be updated to reflect 
statutory and regulatory changes in the NPDES program, advances in 
scientific methods and an increased emphasis on toxic control. The 
purpose of this action is to revise and consolidate existing

the permit application process for these facilities. The Agency seeks 
to establish a unified process that minimizes the need for additional 
information from applicants while providing permit writers the 
necessary information, including toxics data, to ensure that permits 
adequately address concerns of permittees and environmental protection. 
The Agency seeks to allow the use of existing data and to avoid

3632.  AMENDMENT TO REQUIREMENTS FOR NATIONAL POLLUTANT 
DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS FOR STORM WATER DISCHARGES 
(PHASE II)

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  Clean Water Act, sec. 402(p)(6)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 122.26

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, October 1, 1993.

Abstract: EPA is promulgating changes to its NPDES storm water permit 
application regulations to establish a sequential application process 
for all Phase II storm water discharges. Application deadlines will be 
in two tiers. The highest priority will be given to dischargers that 
the State or EPA determines are contributing to a water quality 
impairment or are a significant contributor of pollutants; these 
dischargers will have to apply for a permit within 180 days of being 
notified by the State or EPA, unless an extension is provided. All 
Phase II facilities that are not designated as needing to apply for a 
permit within [[Page 23965]] 180 days will have to apply to the 
permitting authority no later than six years from the effective date of 
this regulation. This rule has the effect of eliminating current 
liability for over 1 million potential Phase II storm water sources who 
may presently be discharging without a permit under the Clean Water 
Act. It also provides a six year timeframe for identifying 
environmental impacts and developing a risk-based targeted approach for 
cost effective pollution prevention measures. Sources whose current 
potential liability is being removed by this regulation include retail, 
commercial, light industry, and other sources of storm water discharges 
that are not presently covered under the first phase of the storm water 
program.

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1344/CWA 404

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 232

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This joint action by EPA and Department of Army (Army) would 
clarify two aspects of the regulatory definition of ``waters of the 
United States'' under the Clean Water Act (CWA). First, EPA and Army 
are proposing to clarify CWA jurisdiction over isolated waters and 
wetlands by adding to the regulatory definition four examples of 
isolated waters and wetlands, the ``use, degradation, or destruction of 
which would or could affect interstate commerce.'' Second, the agencies 
are proposing to clarify that five specific categories of artificial 
waters created out of dry land are generally not considered to be 
waters of the United States and, therefore, not subject to permit 
requirements. This action is consistent with existing agency guidance 
interpreting the regulatory definition of ``waters of the United 
States'' and, therefore, will not change the agencies' interpretation 
of the definition as it currently applied to CWA regulatory programs. 
The purpose of this action is merely to incorporate this existing 
guidance within EPA's and Army's regulatory definitions.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1345/CWA 405

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 503

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The standards for the use or disposal of sewage sludge 
provide that for incinerators, continuous emission monitoring and 
pollutant concentration calculations must be performed according to 
permitting authority specifications. This action will modify the 
existing regulation to make the portion governing sewage sludge 
incinerators self-implementing. This rulemaking will delete the ``as 
specified'' language and allow the regulated community of less than 200 
incinerators flexibility in selecting among appropriate sewage sludge 
incinerator requirements. The language will be replaced with a 
requirement to use an appropriate approach in all aspects of 
determining the pollutant concentrations and installing and operating 
the emissions monitoring equipment, and a requirement to notify the 
permitting authority of the chosen approach before proceeding. This 
action does not impose any new requirements on State, local,or tribal 
governments or small businesses. It allows sewage sludge incinerators 
to follow accepted industry practices and the guidance issued by EPA in 
July 1994 in determining how to install, calibrate, operate, and 
maintain the instruments for measuring total hydrocarbon emissions, 
oxygen emissions, and moisture content in the sewage sludge exit gas. 
This action is deregulatory in that the incinerator requirements will 
be self-implementing and the permitting authority will no longer be 
required to specify conditions for the incinerator operator.

3635. REVISIONS TO OCEAN DUMPING REGULATIONS FOR DREDGED MATERIAL

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1401 et seq/MPRSA

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 225; 40 CFR 227; 40 CFR 228

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking would revise the regulations applicable to 
the ocean dumping of dredged material. Issuance of these regulations is 
necessary to respond to the decision in National Wildlife Federation 
vs. Costle, 629 F. 2d. 118 (DC Circuit 1980) and to incorporate program 
experience gained since 1977. The revisions will make 
[[Page 23966]] necessary technical changes and will improve the clarity 
of the regulations, with supporting technical guidance on disposal site 
selection, site management, and site monitoring. These revisions will 
clarify issues that have caused delays in the evaluation of permit 
applications. The regulations will improve environmental assessments of 
permit applications, and improve the protection of benthic communities 
in the vicinity of a dump site. The regulations will affect local 
governments if they run their Port Authority and are requesting a 
permit to dispose of dredged material in the ocean.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1251/CWA 303

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 123.25

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: At present, not all States provide standing to citizens to 
challenge final State-issued NPDES permits in State courts. This 
rulemaking would amend EPA's existing regulations governing the 
approval of State programs to issue NPDEs permits. These regulations 
are found at 40 CFR Part 123. The rulemaking would insert an explicit 
requirement that State law must grant any ``interested person'' in that 
State ``standing'' to bring an action in State Court to challenge NPDES 
permits issued by the State. The new provision would make it clear that 
a State must provide standing in State courts to the same extent that 
standing is granted to citizens in Federal courts when EPA issues an 
NPDES permit. This approach would ensure that as EPA moves away from 
permit-by-permit oversight of State programs, there remains direct 
accountability on a permit-by-permit basis to the public.

3637. GUIDELINES ESTABLISHING TEST OF WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY (WET) 
TEST PROCEDURES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF POLLUTANTS UNDER THE CLEAN WATER ACT

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1314(h); 33 USC 1361(A)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 136

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to establish new, consistent 
biological testing procedures for the measurement of toxicity of 
effluents (mixtures) discharged from pipes (point sources), and 
toxicity in ambient surface waters. Other versions of these testing 
methods have been used by the states, local and Tribal governments, and 
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit holders 
for 5 or more years. This rule will make the methods uniform, 
consistent and overall reduce variability. This rule would amend 40 CFR 
Part 136 by adding new biological measurements and whole effluent 
toxicity (WET) test procedures for the analysis of pollutants under 
section 304(h) of the Clean Water Act. The list of approved biological 
test methods would be amended by adding methods for measuring acute and 
chronic toxicity to freshwater and marine species exposed to pollutants 
in effluents and receiving waters. This rule will not have a 
significant impact on State, local or Tribal governments or small 
businesses.

Abstract: Section 301(k) of the Clean Water Act allowed EPA to grant 
compliance extensions to any industrial facility subject to a permit 
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 
program if the facility installed innovative technology. The last date 
to which compliance could be extended under section 301(k) was March 
31, 1991. The regulations were challenged in court and were remanded to 
EPA for review. In light of the expiration of the extension period, the 
court dismissed the case and ordered EPA to vacate the regulation.

3640.  WATER QUALITY STANDARDS; ESTABLISHMENT OF NUMERIC 
CRITERIA FOR PRIORITY TOXIC POLLUTANTS; STATES' COMPLIANCE

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  Clean Water Act, sec. 303(c)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 131

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA is revising its rule promulgated on December 22, 1992, 
(National Toxics Rule or NTR) that established water quality criteria 
for 14 States that had failed to fully comply with section 303(2)(B) of 
the Clean Water Act. The NTR promulgated total recoverable metals 
criteria for 11 of these 14 States. In October 1993, the Office of 
Water issued a policy memorandum recommending a shift to the use of 
dissolved metals criteria because they more accurately reflect the 
bioavailable fraction of waterborne metals for aquatic life. This 
revision will convert the total recoverable metals criteria to 
dissolved metals criteria and bring the 11 States into alignment with 
the current policy on the use of dissolved metals.
This action is de-regulatory in nature, but is not expected to impact 
the health of aquatic life in the water column. EPA expects this rule 
to result in less stringent permit limits and therefore a potential 
cost savings in wastewater treatment for dischargers of metals in the 
11 covered States.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulatory action would amend the ``Guidelines 
Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants'' under 40 
CFR Part 136 to approve EPA Method 1613 for the determination of 
2,3,7,8-substituted dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (CDDs/CDFs). 
Method 1613 is necessary to extend minimum levels of quantitation of 
CDDs/CDFs into the low part-per-quadrillion (PPQ) range to support the 
development of effluent limitations guidelines and for compliance 
monitoring under the Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge 
Elimination System (NPDES) program and pretreatment program. This 
action will not have a significant economic impact on State, local or 
tribal governments or small businesses. This regulation approves a test 
procedure to be used in measuring 2,3,7,8 Substituted Dibenzo-P-dioxins 
and di-benzo furons under the National Discharge Elimination System 
unless the Regional Administrator approves an alternate test procedure.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1344/CWA 404

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action would revise the testing provisions of the Clean 
Water Act section 404(b)(1) Guidelines to provide for comparisons 
between dredged material proposed for discharge and reference sediment. 
``Reference sediment'' would be defined as sediment that reflects 
conditions at the disposal site had no dredged material disposal ever 
occurred there. Because the disposal site itself is 
[[Page 23968]] currently used as the point of comparison, this action 
would make a technical improvement in assessing cumulative impacts and 
make dredged material testing under section 404 consistent with that 
conducted for ocean disposal which currently employs a reference 
sediment approach. This action is not expected to have a significant 
impact on state, local, or tribal governments or small business, as the 
action will be limited to Corps projects and permit applications for 
which dredged material testing is necessary.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 237

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule will implement the Shore Protection Act (SPA) and 
is designed to prevent the deposit of municipal and commercial waste 
into U.S. Coastal Waters. The regulations may require the adoption by 
each responsible party of a manual identifying procedures to prevent, 
report, and clean up deposits of waste into coastal waters. 
Municipalities and businesses involved with the vessel transportation 
and shore side handling of these wastes would be affected by this rule.
State governments in the business of transporting municipal or 
commercial waste by vessel would have to comply the minimum waste 
handling standards. Currently no Tribes are known to be involved in 
waste handling of this type, therefore none would be affected by this 
rule. In regards to small businesses, EPA has provided guidance on 
development of operation and maintenance manuals and encourages the use 
and documentation of existing industry practices that meet or exceed 
the EPA proposed minimum waste handling standards. All indications are 
that this regulation as proposed would have a minimal economic impact. 
This regulation will result in reduction of municipal and commercial 
wastes deposited in coastal waters.

Abstract: This action will result in Federal protective action guidance 
(PAG) for State and local officials to use in the event of a nuclear 
accident to protect the general public from the adverse health affects 
associated with the ingestion of drinking water that is contaminated 
with radioactive material. As soon as the draft guidance is developed 
it will be submitted to the PAG Subcommittee of the Federal 
Radiological Preparedness Coordinating Committee (FRPCC) for review and 
comment. Members of the PAG subcommittee include representatives from 
DOE, DOD, FEMA, NRC, HHS, USDA, DOT, and the Conference of Radiation 
Control Program Directors (CRCPD). When a consensus among the 
representatives is reached, the guidance is recommended to the full 
FRPCC for endorsement. After that endorsement is obtained a notice of 
the availability of a revised EPA 400-R-92-001, ``Manual of Protective 
Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents'' will be 
published in the Federal Register.

Abstract: The Agency is developing regulations that set standards that 
limit the amount of radiation that members of the public might receive 
from a contaminated site if released from federal control or a Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) license. The rule does not mandate the 
clean up of any site, nor does it provide remedy selection criteria on 
when cleanup is appropriate. The regulations will be designed to 
protect human health and the environment from exposure to ionizing 
radioactive material subject to the Atomic Energy Act. These standards 
may also be used as ``Relevant and Appropriate Requirements'' at sites 
covered under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation Liability Act (i.e., Superfund sites).

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1401

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141; 40 CFR 142

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA will propose revisions to the National Primary Drinking 
Water Regulations for Lead and Copper published June 7, 1991. The basic 
lead and copper regulations will remain intact, however, EPA will 
propose minor revisions to refine specific requirements and improve 
implementation of the rule. Some of these revisions are deregulatory in 
nature, in that they will lessen monitoring requirements for public 
water systems which have consistently shown very low levels of lead and 
copper at the tap. EPA also plans to propose changes that will provide 
many community water systems more flexibility in the delivery of lead 
public education requirements, and allow States to invalidate 
inappropriate samples. Other proposed revisions would promote 
consistent national implementation by clarifying the monitoring 
requirements that apply in different circumstances. Finally, EPA plans 
to respond to a remand in American Water Works Association v. EPA, 40 
F.3D 1266 (DC Circuit 1994), on portions of the Lead and Copper 
regulation by proposing a revised definition of ``control'' as it 
applies to lead service line replacement and to explain more fully the 
Agency's decision to exempt transient non-community water systems from 
coverage under the rule. Nationally, EPA estimates the proposed changes

ABSTRACT CONT: will not affect the cost or benefits of the Lead and 
Copper Rule significantly. State governments and some local governments 
may experience a minor increase in costs as a result of these 
revisions. Many local and tribal governments and small businesses that 
operate public water systems should experience a decrease in annual 
costs.

DISINFECTION

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141; 40 CFR 142 [[Page 23973]] 

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, August 30, 1995. Final, Statutory, 
June 18, 1989. Final, Judicial, August 30, 1997.

Abstract: In accordance with the 1986 SDWA amendments, EPA will propose 
that all public water systems using groundwater use disinfection 
treatment processes, unless they have natural disinfection or meet 
specified variance criteria. This rule will reduce microbial 
contamination risk from public water systems relying on groundwater as 
their drinking water source. The sources of microbial contamination are 
ubiquitous, and contamination can cause diarrhea, other 
gastrointestinal illness, hepatitis, and a variety of other illnesses. 
The approximately 180,000 public water systems that use groundwater not 
under direct influence of surface water, serving about 90 million 
people, will be affected by this regulation. Known treatment 
technologies include disinfection (through use of chlorine, 
chloramines, ozone, chlorine dioxide, or ultraviolet); source 
protection; well construction codes; and backflow prevention programs. 
No cost projections have yet been made. All States with primacy would 
be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the rule, including 
enforcement of monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, public 
notification and treatment requirements. Local and tribal governments 
which own water systems are responsible for implementing the 
requirements of the rule.

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141; 40 CFR 142

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, November 30, 1995. Final, Statutory, 
June 19, 1989. Final, Judicial, November 30, 1997.

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. Arsenic is naturally occurring, predominantly in ground 
water. It is also used as a wood preservative and in the 
pharmaceutical, computer, ore smelting, and mining industries. 
Depending on the MCL selected, the arsenic regulation may affect as 
many as 13,000 systems or as few as 150 systems. In any case, small 
groundwater systems will be affected most. Treatment technology is 
expensive, household costs are expected to be high for those small 
systems which need treatment. Known treatment technologies include lime 
softening, coagulation filtration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, pre-
treatment and post treatment. EPA is also considering a unique two-
stage treatment strategy. EPA has announced that it believes the risk 
is too uncertain given the potentially high cost of the rule. 
Accordingly, EPA is working with industry to develop and implement a 
research program designed to reduce uncertainty in the risk estimates.

3674. NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER STANDARDS (NPDWRS) FOR 
ALDICARB

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141; 40 CFR 142

Legal Deadline: None
The effective date for aldicarb (Jan 1, 1993) has been stayed as of May 
8, 1992.

Abstract: EPA is planning to repropose the NPDWRs for aldicarb, 
aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone and to propose a standard for 
total aldicarb. EPA decided to repropose these standards after new 
health data were submitted to the Agency and the Agency completed a 
revised risk assessment. Aldicarb affects the nervous system and can 
cause flu-like and more serious symptoms. Aldicarb is a pesticide 
applied on cotton, citrus, and peanuts. Aldicarb has a high leaching 
potential and can cause ground water contamination. Granulated 
activated charcoal is the only known treatment technology available. 
Current projections are that less than 400 drinking water systems, 
serving nearly 300,000 people, would be affected by the regulation. All 
states with primacy would be responsible for overseeing the 
implementation of the rule, including enforcement of monitoring, 
reporting, recordkeeping, public notification, and treatment 
requirements. Local and tribal governments which own water systems 
would be responsible for implementing the rule. In January 1995, EPA 
announced that it was initiating a reassessment of the drinking water 
program, including the current regulatory agenda, to ensure that 
resources available for protecting [[Page 23974]] drinking water 
accomplish the greatest risk reduction. The purpose of the effort is to 
clarify and change program priorities and realign resource allocations. 
Once this reassessment is completed, EPA will reconsider its schedule 
for aldicarb.

3675. NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS: 25 CONTAMINANTS 
FROM DRINKING WATER PRIORITY LIST (PHASE VI-B)--ORGANIC AND INORGANIC 
CONTAMINANTS

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141; 40 CFR 142

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, January 1, 1990. NPRM, Judicial, 
February 28, 1995. Final, Statutory, January 1, 1991. Final, Judicial, 
February 28, 1997.

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 3 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 will be 
addressed in two rulemakings: Disinfection Byproducts (Phase VI-A) and 
Organic and Inorganic Contaminants (Phase VI-B). The Phase VI-B rule is 
intended to reduce cancer risk and other chronic toxicity exposures. 
(See separate entry for Phase VI-A.)
As required by SDWA Section 1412(b)(3), EPA plans to propose 
regulations for 19 organic and inorganic contaminants (including a 
number of pesticides) and to eventually set standards for approximately 
12 of the 19 contaminants. These contaminants can cause a variety of 
health effects such as cancer, developmental effects, nervous system 
dysfunction, and liver and kidney toxicity. An estimated 7,700 to 9,500 
water systems would be affected by the regulations. Preliminary 
benefits are that about 13 million people would have reduced exposure 
to the contaminants once the rule is implemented. Estimated national 
cost is $600 million annually. Known treatment technologies vary by 
contaminants, but include packed tower aeration, conventional granular 
activated carbon, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and lime softening.
All States with primacy would be responsible for overseeing the 
implementation of the rule, including enforcement of reporting, 
recordkeeping, public notification, monitoring, and treatment 
requirements. Local and tribal governments which own water systems are 
responsible for implementing the requirements of the rule.
In January, 1995, EPA announced that it was initiating a reassessment 
of the drinking water program, including the current regulatory agenda, 
to ensure that resources available for protecting drinking water 
accomplish the greatest risk reduction. The purpose of the effort is to 
clarify and change program priorities and realign resource allocation. 
To conduct this reassessment, EPA has initiated a request to defer 
activity on the VI-B rule and submit a revised schedule to the court by 
September 1995.

3677.  REVISION OF CURRENT REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR 
TRIGGERING INCREASED DRINKING WATER MONITORING

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 141

Legal Deadline: None [[Page 23975]] 

Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act requires EPA to establish 
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for specific contaminants. 
The rules are to include analytical methods by which the contaminants 
can be measured. Monitoring requirements are also imposed by 
regulation. Monitoring frequencies can be increased or decreased by 
certain monitoring results. Regulations which have been promulgated 
already contain levels for triggering increased monitoring which are 
problematic, either because laboratories have difficulty detecting 
consistently at those levels or because the levels are well below those 
which might pose a health concern. This rule would revise the current 
trigger levels for increased monitoring for drinking water 
contaminants. It results from extensive discussions with State 
officials to define the problem(s) and identify potential solutions. 
While the proposal is still under development it is possible that 
requirements for some synthetic organic contaminants may be proposed to 
be relaxed whereas requirements for some inorganic contaminants and 
volatile organic contaminants may be proposed to be more stringent. All 
states with primacy would be responsible for overseeing the 
implementation of the rule, including enforcement of monitoring 
requirements. Local and tribal governments which own water systems are 
responsible for implementing the requirements of the rule.

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 300/SDWA 1412

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, June 15, 1991. Final, Statutory, June 
19, 1989. Final, Judicial, April 30, 1995.

Abstract: EPA has proposed maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) and 
primary drinking water standards for radionuclides in drinking water. 
These radionuclides include radium, uranium, radon, total alpha, and 
beta particle and photon emitters (see RIN 2040-AB90, SAN No. 2782). 
All of these contaminants were required to be regulated in the 1986 
SDWA amendments. Radionuclides pose a cancer risk. Also, uranium poses 
a risk for kidney toxicity. Currently, EPA estimates that, at proposed 
levels, the regulation would avoid 126 cancer cases per year, and 
reduce exposure of 900,000 persons to the risk of kidney 
[[Page 23976]] toxicity. The number of systems affected at proposed 
levels would be 29,000 at a cost of $660 million per year. All states 
with primacy would be responsible for overseeing the implementation of 
the rule including monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, public 
notification, and treatment requirements. Local and tribal governments 
which own water systems are responsible for implementing the 
requirements.
In January 1995 EPA announced that it was initiating a reassessment of 
the drinking water program, including the current regulatory agenda, to 
ensure that resources available for protecting drinking water 
accomplish the greatest risk reduction. The purpose of the effort is to 
clarify and change program priorities and realign resource allocations. 
To conduct this reassessment, EPA has initiated a request to defer 
activity on the radionuclides rule and submit a revised schedule to the 
court by September 1995. Congress has already specifically prohibited 
EPA from promulgating a radon regulation during FY95.

to meet again to consider long term standards. This action fulfills 
that commitment. Public surface water systems serving 10,000 or more 
people and public ground water systems serving 50,000 or more people 
are required to generate data with the most extensive data requirements 
levied on systems serving 100,000 people or more. Governments are not

Abstract: EPA will promulgate revisions to the regulatory language 
which concerns EPA's initiation of proceedings that could result in 
withdrawal of State primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) for 
the Drinking Water Program. EPA is promulgating this revision, in part, 
in response to a remand in National Wildlife Federation v. EPA, 980 
F.2D 765 (DC Circuit 1992). This action potentially impacts any State 
or Tribe with primacy for the drinking water program, as well as the 
public water systems within the State's or Tribe's jurisdiction. 
However, EPA notes that its current primacy withdrawal policy already 
is consistent with the revised language that EPA proposed on August 8, 
1994 (59 FR 40458).

3687. CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS (SWMUS) AT 
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITIES

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 6924/RCRA 3004(u), 3004(v)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 264; 40 CFR 270

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Past and present waste management practices at RCRA 
facilities have resulted in releases from solid waste management units 
that frequently cause contamination of soils, ground water, surface 
water and air. This contamination may be harmful to human health and 
the environment. Final corrective action regulations (see above title) 
will provide enforceable requirements to identify the types of wastes 
and constituents present, and describe the extent of the contamination, 
to ensure that the appropriate steps are taken to clean up the 
contamination. One problem that we are attempting to overcome in this 
rulemaking effort is the process which is taking too long and is too 
expensive. The agency is currently exploring options that will achieve 
cleanup goals for these sites such as: creating a more consistent, less 
compartmentalized approach to cleanup at RCRA Facilities; establishing 
protective but ``common sense'' cleanup expectations, shifting more 
responsibility for compliance to the regulated community; and creating 
a more cost-effective cleanup program.

3688. FACILITY RESPONSE PLANNING FOR DELEGATED OFFSHORE FACILITIES

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  33 USC 1321/Clean Water Act; EO 12777

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 112

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, August 18, 1992.

Abstract: Some oil storage facilities have insufficient response 
planning and the necessary private response resources available to 
respond to worst case oil discharges that affect waters of the United 
States.
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) requires all oil facilities to 
prepare, submit and implement plans for responding to worst case oil 
discharges. This action would implement OPA requirements for offshore 
non-transportation related facilities located landward of the low water 
mark. In this rule, EPA plans to extend the applicability of its 
facility response plan rule for onshore facilities (July 1, 1994) to 
these offshore facilities. In a 2/3/94 Memorandum of Understanding, the 
Department of Interior/Minerals Management Service delegated authority 
to regulate these offshore facilities to EPA.
Part 112 continues to apply to small businesses as well as federal, 
state, local and tribal governments. The facility response plan program 
remains a federal program, with no implementation functions delegated 
to state or local governments.

3689. ALTERNATIVES FOR GROUND-WATER MONITORING AT SMALL, DRY/REMOTE 
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  RCRA 4004, RCRA 1008, RCRA 2002, RCRA 4010

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 258

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Alternative strategies to conventional ground-water 
monitoring are under consideration by the Agency for use at certain 
small, dry/remote municipal solid waste landfills, as necessary to 
detect contamination on a site-specific basis. Examples of alternative 
strategies may include early detection vadose zone monitoring, analysis 
for indicator parameters and major ions in place of trace elements and 
volatile organic compounds, or exempting small landfills from ground-
water monitoring requirements based on a demonstration that there is no 
potential for leachate migration to the uppermost aquifer. Examples of 
site-specific factors important to the alternative selection process 
include costs, hydrogeology, stratigraphy, climate, and availability of 
equipment and technical expertise. There are certain geographic areas 
where there may be no clear-cut effective alternatives to conventional 
ground-water monitoring, such as areas of Alaska with permafrost or in 
communities with extremely low per capita income. The Agency is 
considering alternatives as a result of a recent decision by the U.S. 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that vacated the 
small landfill ground-water monitoring exemption under 40 CFR Part 
258.50(b) and in consideration of the projected annual waste disposal 
costs per household for communities being served by these small 
landfills of full ground-water monitoring requirements. This rule would 
provide states and tribes with EPA-approved permit programs the 
flexibility they need to be able to allow landfill owners to use 
alternatives for ground-water monitoring. Local governments would still 
bear the costs of alternative ground-water monitoring. The Agency 
estimates that this rule could save $5.9 million to $22.2 million 
annually from the cost of baseline ground-water monitoring on a 
national basis. Science and engineering support would be needed by some 
communities to implement most alternatives.

6912(a); 42 USC 6921through 6927, 6930, 6934, and 6974

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 279

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action is being taken in response to a Court remand of 
mixture provisions contained in the Used Oil Management Standards. The 
remanded provisions exempt mixtures of used oil and characteristic 
hazardous waste (e.g., spent mineral spirits) from the Land Disposal 
Restrictions. The effect of the existing LDR exemption is to encourage 
mixing of used oil and characteristic hazardous waste and, 
consequently, to discourage segregation and recycling the used oil and 
spent solvents as separate waste streams. Mixtures of used oil and 
spent solvents are virtually always burned. This stay of the mixture 
provisions and proposed rule would address the applicability of the LDR 
to decharacterized mixtures of used oil and characteristic hazardous 
waste. We expect that any changes resulting from the proposed rule will 
have minimal impact on state/local/tribal governments and small 
businesses (e.g., service stations, quick lubes). [[Page 23979]]

Abstract: EPA prepared a Cement Kiln Dust Report and submitted it to 
Congress. The report studies the [[Page 23981]] sources and volumes of 
cement kiln dust, current and alternative waste management practices 
and their costs and economic impacts, documents damages to human health 
and the environment from cement kiln dust disposal, and discusses 
existing state and Federal regulation of these wastes. EPA used this 
information, after an opportunity for public comment, to make a final 
regulatory determination. In the determination the Agency decided that 
regulation under RCRA Subtitle C was warranted to protect the public 
from human health risks and to prevent environmental damage resulting 
from current disposal of this waste.
Under the terms of a consent decree, the Cement Kiln Dust Report to 
Congress was completed by December 31, 1993; the Regulatory 
Determination was completed on January 31, 1995. The Agency now plans 
to develop specific tailor-made regulations that are appropriate for 
the management of CKD.

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, June 1995. Final, Judicial, June 1996.

Abstract: The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 require EPA 
to promulgate regulations establishing treatment standards that must be 
met before hazardous waste may be disposed of on land. The proposed 
rulemaking establishes treatment standards for certain characteristic 
mineral processing wastes, wood preserving wastes, and TC metals. It 
also addresses issues arising from a September 25, 1992 decision of the 
U.S. Court of Appeals in Chemical Waste Management v. EPA, 976 F. 2d 
(D.C. Cir. 1992) on the equivalency of treatment in wastewater 
treatment systems regulated under the Clean Water Act to treatment of 
wastes under RCRA.

Abstract: The overall goal of this regulation is to establish a new 
regulatory framework under RCRA for the management of contaminated 
media that are generated from remediating hazardous waste sites. The 
new regulations will reform the current standards by creating more 
flexibility for Agency decisionmakers in setting cleanup requirements, 
and by better aligning the RCRA regulations with the actual risks posed 
by managing contaminated media. The rule will exempt certain longer 
risk contaminated media from the traditional, ``prevention oriented'' 
RCRA regulations and will set treatment standards for higher risk media 
that reflect the inherent differences between contaminated media (e.g., 
soils, ground water) and newly generated wastes. The regulations will 
also simplify and streamline RCRA permit requirements for cleanups that 
involve managing hazardous materials.

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. [[Page 23982]] 
EPA is developing a proposed rule, as part of regulatory negotiation, 
to make the form more uniform, while still addressing state data needs.
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 and 
uniformity in data required across the U.S. will have tremendous 
benefits to the transportation industry. Some States may have to modify 
their data system in response to this action.

Federal hazardous waste storage, treatment, and disposal rules. The 
rule will assure transportation and storage of such wastes are safe and 
protective of human health and the environment. The rule is likely to 
address munitions in the military stockpile to be demilitarized, 
burning of excess propellants, emergency responses involving both 
military and non-military explosives, and unexploded ordnance on firing 
ranges. State National Guard units as well as Federal DOD, DOE, and DOT 
(Coast Guard) units will be subject to these rules. EPA and EPA-
authorized States will implement the standards.

Abstract: The RCRA statute is silent on approval of Tribal hazardous 
waste programs. This regulatory action would clarify that Indian Tribes 
may become authorized for the RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste program 
and will also make available to Tribes RCRA grant funds to assist in 
implementation of authorized hazardous waste programs. Currently, 
authorization and grant funding is only available to States. The action 
would establish criteria which a Tribe must meet for authorization. 
This rule furthers EPA's recognition of Tribal sovereignty and furthers 
the Agency's goal of delegating environmental programs to Tribes. This 
action will impact the amount of grants given to States since the level 
of funding will remain constant but the number of grantees is 
anticipated to increase. It will also impact the Tribes by allowing 
them an increased role in environmental regulation on Indian Country.

Abstract: This action known as the ``State/Tribal Implementation Rule'' 
or ``STIR'', will delegate to States and Indian Tribes the authority to 
control the human health and environmental risks associated with 
municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill management, particularly 
groundwater contamination. The STIR will do so by establishing criteria 
and procedures for EPA to use to determine whether State and tribal MSW 
landfill permit programs are adequate to ensure compliance with the 
Solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria. While the Disposal Facility 
Criteria automatically apply to all MSW landfills, States and tribes 
with permit programs deemed adequate under the STIR can provide some 
flexibility on design standards and other requirements to landfill 
owners and operators who meet the Criteria's performance standards. In 
providing this flexibility, the STIR offers an opportunity to reduce 
the regulatory burden on State, tribal and local governments and on 
landfill owners and operators.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under the current RCRA regulations, a facility that needs 
post-closure care must obtain a permit. In many cases, the post-closure 
permit is an appropriate mechanism for the regulatory agency to use to 
address the environmental needs at the facility. In other cases, 
however, a permit may not be appropriate. And, in some cases, the 
facility's post-closure care needs may have already been addressed 
through other legal mechanisms, such as enforcement actions or 
Superfund actions. In these cases, subsequent issuance of a post-
closure permit would not provide any environmental benefit, although, 
under the current regulations, it is still required. This rule would 
remove the requirements to issue a permit to address post-closure care 
in all cases. A permit would remain an option, but EPA Regions and 
authorized States would be able to use other mechanisms as well, 
depending on the circumstances at the facility. States authorized to 
implement the RCRA program are currently required to adopt authority to 
compel corrective action at permitted facilities. They are not required 
to have similar authority at interim status facilities, though many 
States do. As a result, the corrective action program is implemented by 
the State, at some facilities, and by the EPA Regions at other. This 
rule would require States to adopt, as part of their authorized RCRA 
programs, authority to address corrective action at interim status 
facilities. This would result in a more consistent implementation of 
the corrective action program in the States.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On October 9, 1991 the Agency promulgated revised criteria 
for municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) which included financial 
assurance requirements to ensure that adequate funds are readily 
available to cover the costs of closure, post-closure care, and 
corrective action associated with MSWLFs without incurring government 
response costs. The proposal would add a corporate financial test to 
the financial assurance mechanisms currently available to owners and 
operators of RCRA Subtitle D MSWLFs. It also would allow corporations 
to use that financial test to guarantee the cost of an owner or 
operator. EPA estimates that the rule would save owners and operators 
of MSWLFs approximately $45 million annually by allowing the use of a 
financial test rather than more expensive mechanisms such as surety 
bonds or letters of credit. Finally, the rule would revise the domestic 
asset requirement of the subtitle C corporate financial test. The rule 
would have no impacts on local governments but could be implemented by 
state or tribal governments.

application of the TC rule to petroleum-contaminated media and debris, 
such as soils and groundwater, that result from underground storage 
tank (UST) corrective actions. This rule would make permanent the 
current temporary deferral of UST petroleum-contaminated media and 
debris from the RCRA hazardous waste TC rule. This rule is part of the 
Agency's commitment to make a ``final determination'' regrading the UST 
temporary deferral. Without the deferral, UST cleanup procedures would 
be adversely affected, resulting in delays in remedial action and 
increases in remediation costs. EPA believes states are in the best 
position to continue their oversight of the management of contaminated 
media and debris from UST cleanups. Since this action is deregulatory, 
there are no adverse effects on small businesses, or on state, local, 
or tribal governments.

Final, 06/30/96.

Abstract: This action addresses the potential human health and 
environmental risks posed by wastes from the manufacture of dyes and 
pigments, and determines whether these wastes should be listed as 
hazardous wastes under RCRA to control any unacceptable risks. As part 
of this effort, EPA is also considering opportunities for pollution 
prevention and recycling. This action will be implemented by EPA and 
States authorized under RCRA. Impacts on local governments are not 
expected, and small business impacts are undetermined at this time. Two 
waste streams are subject to later deadlines for proposed and final 
action.

Legal Deadline: None

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 established 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. The Agency is codifying these provisions in an interim 
final rule which would replace the current RCRA export/import 
regulations for hazardous waste destined for recovery within the OECD.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 270.41; 40 CFR 270.42; 40 CFR 270.10

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA would like to encourage greater levels of public 
participation in the RCRA permitting process. Current regulations 
provide limited opportunities for public participation; therefore, EPA 
has proposed requirements to provide earlier and more extensive 
opportunities for public involvement in permitting activities for all 
RCRA facilities.
EPA is aware of differences in the procedural requirements for new 
combustion facilities seeking permits and combustion facilities 
operating under interim status while seeking permits. To make the 
permitting procedures more equivalent, EPA has proposed to amend the 
permitting procedures for interim status combustion facilities, 
particularly with regard to (1) submittal of trial burn plans, and (2) 
procedures following a trial burn. EPA is also clarifying in this 
proposed rule some modification classifications pertaining to 
combustion activities.

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 6901/RCRA 3004(m)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 268

Legal Deadline:  Final, Judicial, January 1996.

Abstract: Treatment standards will be developed for ignitable, 
corrosive, reactive, and organic wastes displaying the toxicity 
characteristic when these wastes are managed in wastewater treatment 
systems subject to the Clean [[Page 23986]] Water Act (CWA), in zero-
discharge facilities that employ treatment before land disposal, and in 
Class I nonhazardous injection wells subject to the Safe Drinking Water 
Act. These treatment standards must be met before the waste is 
discharged to the surface water (``end-of-pipe''), in the case of CWA 
systems; before the waste is land disposed, in the case of a zero-
discharge treatment system; and before the waste is injected into the 
deep injection well. In addition, treatment standards will be developed 
for certain ``newly listed'' wastes: carbamate and organobromine wastes 
and spent aluminum potliners.

Abstract: The criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills require 
landfill owners/operators to assure that they can cover the costs of 
closure and post-closure care of their landfills and the costs of 
cleaning up any known releases from their landfills. This rule would 
allow local governments to meet all or part of their financial 
assurance requirements based on their financial strength. EPA estimates 
that the local government financial test would save local governments 
$138 million annually. Small local governments and Tribal governments 
that own or operate landfills would share in this savings.

Abstract: RCRA section 6002 establishes a buy-recycled program for 
Federal agencies, state and local agencies using Federal funds to buy 
items, and for contractors purchasing items under government contracts. 
It uses governments' purchasing power to develop markets for materials 
collected by municipal and commercial recycling programs. RCRA requires 
EPA to issue guidelines for government agencies and contractors to use 
when purchasing recycled products. EPA designates items that are made 
with recovered materials and recommends recovered material content 
levels or other methods for agencies to use when purchasing the items. 
Government agencies and contractors are required to purchase EPA-
designated items containing the highest percentage of recovered 
materials practicable. On June 22, 1988, EPA issued a final procurement 
guideline which designated paper and paper products and contained 
recovered materials content recommendations for these items. On April 
20, 1994, EPA proposed to consolidate the paper designation into a 
Comprehensive Procurement Guideline and the recommendations into a 
Recovered Materials Advisory Notice. In this action, EPA will issue 
proposed revised recommendations for paper and paper products.

Order 12873, ``Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention,'' 
EPA proposed to designate 21 items in a Comprehensive Procurement 
Guideline (CPG). EPA also issued draft purchasing recommendations in a 
related [[Page 23987]] Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) (59

lubricating oil, building insulation, and cement and concrete 
containing fly ash) into the CPG and RMAN. This action will finalize 
the CPG and the recommendations in the RMAN.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 6991/RCRA 9001; 42 USC 6991/RCRA 9003

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 280

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation will limit the liability of secured 
creditors, such as banks and other lenders, regarding contaminated 
underground storage tank (UST) properties they hold as collateral for 
loans. At present, concerns over environmental liability are making a 
significant number of lenders reluctant to make loans to otherwise 
credit-worthy owners of underground storage tanks. The regulation is 
needed to remove this current barrier to the financing of UST 
facilities and increase the amount of capital available to UST owners. 
Without adequate financing, many UST owners will be unable to make the 
improvements to their facilities necessary to comply with environmental 
regulations. Since this action is deregulatory, there are no adverse 
effects on small businesses or on state, local, or tribal governments.

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7412

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking will establish lesser-quantity emission rates 
(LQERs), emission rates of less than 10 tons per year, to define 
sources emitting a pollutant at greater than its LQER as a major 
source. For pollutants for which an LQER is warranted, sources emitting 
that pollutant at a higher emission rate than the LQER would be subject 
to the requirements for major sources. This rulemaking addresses the 
need to take into account that some pollutants are more toxic than 
others and that emissions of 10 tons per year of certain highly toxic 
air pollutants pose a significant health risk.

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act section 169A

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, May 1997.

Abstract: Mandatory Federal Class I areas throughout the United States 
are being impaired by regional haze. Section 169A of the Clean Air Act 
requires the Environmental Protection Agency to issue regulations to 
protect these Class I areas from man-made visibility impairment. These 
regulations would require States to show reasonable progress toward 
reducing the effects of regional haze on these sensitive areas. Since 
1980, technical knowledge of the causes of visibility impairment (i.e., 
emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, certain organic 
compounds, and particulate matter) has progressed so that innovative 
programs can be developed to address regional pollution. This 
rulemaking will require regional (multi-state) planning to address 
regional visibility in groupings of Class I areas. Control activities 
will be balanced with review of cost and visibility/environmental 
benefits analysis.

Priority:  Other Significant

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline:  Final, Judicial, March 15, 1995.

Abstract: The use of consumer and commercial products has been 
identified as a source of VOC emissions which contribute to 
tropospheric ozone formation. Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act, as 
amended in 1990, requires that EPA conduct a study of VOC emissions 
from consumer and commercial products. The objectives of the study are 
(1) to determine the potential of these products to contribute to ozone 
nonattainment; and (2) to establish criteria for selecting categories 
of products for regulation under Section 183(e). The EPA must submit a 
report to Congress that documents the results of the study. Upon 
submission of the report, EPA must list those categories of consumer 
and commercial products that have been determined, based on the study, 
to account for at least 80 percent of the VOC emissions from consumer 
and commercial products in nonattainment areas. EPA must divide the 
list into four groups by priority and regulate one group every two 
years beginning no later than two years after publishing the 
prioritized category list.

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act secs 202(a), 211(c), 213(a), 301(a)

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The primary focus of this action will be on the potential for 
reduced nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions from mobile sources, 
particularly diesel engines and fuels. Nitrogen oxides are a 
significant contributor to urban ozone pollution (smog), acid rain, and 
particulate pollution. Particulates, including those emitted directly 
and ``secondary'' particulates formed in the atmosphere, have been 
associated with increased death and illness rates as well as impaired 
visibility. In addition, this action also will investigate the 
potential for reducing ozone hydrocarbon [[Page 23991]] emissions from 
mobile sources, particularly from diesel engines and fuels.
The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking is intended to notify the 
public of the Agency's intent to investigate the feasibility of 
reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and particulates from mobile 
sources. It is also intended to solicit involvement and input from a 
broad cross-section of the public, including potentially affected 
industries, states, regional air management organizations, public 
health and environmental protection interest groups, and the general 
public.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires EPA 
to promulgate regulations setting forth requirements for States to 
develop and implement operating permits programs for major stationary 
sources of air pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. These 
regulations were promulgated on July 21, 1992 (57 FR 32250). Title V 
also requires EPA to establish a federal permit program where States 
fail to submit an appropriate State program, fail to adequately 
implement an approved program, or fail to issue good Title V permits to 
individual sources. These regulations also address issuance of permits 
to outer continental shelf sources, acid rain sources and sources 
located on Tribal lands. This program is established by regulation 
promulgated in this notice. EPA will approve applications and issue 
Federal operating permits, as well as enforce the program.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Emission statements and periodic inventories are new programs 
addressed in the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act that call for 
emissions reporting. In addition, requirements for the annual reporting 
of emissions from stationary sources are contained in 40 CFR 51.321 - 
51.323. Each of these programs requires either sources or states to 
report emissions and other supporting data. The data reporting 
intervals, type of pollutant source, pollutant type, and geographic 
coverage varies for the three programs. This rule will address the 
streamlining and consolidation of reporting requirements of each of 
these programs. The emissions data made available by these programs 
will also provide a mechanism for tracking emissions.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Instrumental test methods currently available require on-
site, multi-point calibration with gaseous standards of known 
concentration. For testing contractors conducting multiple test 
methods, this can frequently mean the transportation of dozens of high 
pressure gas cylinders over long distances. Gas dilution systems are 
available which can be used to dilute a known, certified high level gas 
into lower concentration gases. This method, which has been available 
for comment through the Emission Measurement Technical Information 
Center since April, 1991, provides a standard procedure for certifying 
the accuracy and precision of these gas dilution systems for field 
applications. The purpose of this method is to provide the State and 
local administration with a tool for insuring correct instrument 
calibration, while providing considerable cost savings to the source.

Abstract: EPA is amending the SIP Completeness Criteria to establish 
completeness criteria for commitments in light of EPA's conditional 
approval authority under section 110(k)(4) of the Act. Additionally, 
EPA is proposing to remove the parallel processing exception from the 
completeness criteria. Finally, EPA is proposing to revise the 
definition of ``official submittal'' from a State in Section 51.103. 
This action will classify which elements of the completeness criteria 
pertain to committal SIPs and it will implement EPA's intent that 
parallel progressing requests not be treated as official submittals 
from a State.

Abstract: EPA proposes to federalize standards from the Arizona and New 
Mexico State Implementation Plans (SIPS) applicable to the Navajo 
generating station and the Four Corners Plant, respectively. Where 
necessary, EPA's proposed emission standards modify the standards 
extracted from the States' regulatory programs to ensure comprehensive

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulatory revision would streamline several portions of 
the Acid Rain Program rules and make minor revisions to the small 
diesel allowance program. Based on experience implementing the Acid 
Rain Program, EPA would make the process for exempting new units and 
retired units easier. EPA would also allow units to be deleted from the 
tables of affected units if those units could be demonstrated to be 
unaffected or if the units will not be constructed. The eligibility 
provision and allowance calculation equation for small diesel 
refineries will be corrected.

3773.  DETERMINING CONFORMITY OF GENERAL FEDERAL ACTIONS TO 
STATE OR FEDERAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS (FOR ATTAINMENT AND UNCLASSIFIABLE 
AREAS)

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7401/et seq

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 93

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, June 30, 1995. Final, Judicial, 
November 7, 1995.

Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to supplement a previous 
regulation published on November 30, 1993, which applies to determining 
conformity of general Federal actions to State or Federal 
implementation plans (``general conformity''). The previous regulation 
applies to geographic areas of the country designated (for air quality 
purposes) as nonattainment or maintenance areas. A nonattainment area 
is one which is not attaining one or more National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS). A maintenance area is one which now attains the 
NAAQS and was redesignated as a maintenance area after the 1990 Clean 
Air Act Amendments (CAAA). States must follow a maintenance plan for 
such areas which ensure that the area will continue to attain the NAAQS 
for a specified period of time.
The purpose of conformity regulations is to ensure that actions taken 
by Federal entities do not cause or contribute to a violation of the 
NAAQS and thereby undermine the State Implementation plan (SIP) for 
that area.

would apply the concept of conformity to geographic areas of the 
country which are designated as attainment or unclassifiable areas 
(i.e.,those areas of the country not currently covered by the existing 
general conformity regulations).
This proposed rule will establish the criteria and procedures governing 
the determination of conformity for all Federal actions occurring in 
attainment or unclassifiable areas, except Federal highway and transit 
actions (``transportation conformity ``). Transportation conformity 
requirements are being established in a separate rulemaking action.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990

Abstract: The CAAA required EPA to publish an initial list of all 
categories of major and area sources of the hazardous air pollutants 
(HAPs) listed in Section 112(b) of the CAAA and, to establish dates for 
the promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed 
categories of HAP emission sources and develop emission standards for 
each source of HAPs such that the schedule is met. The standards are to 
be technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of emission 
reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The Agency 
has determined that the phosphoric acid manufacturing industry may 
reasonably be anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed in 
Section 112(b) of the CAAA. As a consequence, the source category is 
included on the initial list of HAP- emitting categories scheduled for 
standards promulgation within 10 years of enactment of the CAAA. The 
purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory development program 
such that emission standards may be proposed and promulgated according 
to the mandated schedule.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act section 112

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: Section 112 of the Act requires major sources of hazardous 
air [[Page 24003]] pollutants to achieve a maximum degree of emission 
reduction based on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). 
This regulatory action will establish this level of control for both 
new and existing sources in the baker's yeast manufacturing industry. 
This industry is currently comprised of 13 sources of 6 different 
manufacturers located in ten different states. The only known HAP 
emission from this source is acetaldehyde. It is produced as a by-
product during the fermentation process. It is likely that regulatory 
options will be based on improved process control to reduce formation 
of this by-product.

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7521(a)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 93

Legal Deadline:  Final, Judicial, November 7, 1995.

Abstract: This rule would require that transportation plans, programs, 
and projects funded or approved under title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal 
Transit Act be found to conform to the State Implementation Plan in 
certain attainment areas. The concurrence of the Department of 
Transportation will be required. The preamble to the transportation 
conformity final rule (which applies to nonattainment and maintenance 
areas), published November 24, 1993, announced EPA's intent to propose 
conformity requirements for urbanized attainment areas which have 
exceeded 85% of the ozone, CO, NO2, PM-10 annual, or PM-10 24-hr 
standard. Among other things, this rule would act as a planning tool 
for areas experiencing growth in their ambient air quality levels so 
that they can design their transportation activities in ways that will 
ensure that the areas remain in attainment of the national standard.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 93

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The final rule on transportation conformity (58 FR 62188, 
November 24, 1993) applies with respect to nitrogen oxides as a 
precursor of ozone unless the Administrator determines that additional 
reductions of NOx would not contribute to attainment. This action would 
require areas with a NOx waiver to demonstrate consistency with the 
motor vehicle emissions budget for NOx in the attainment demonstration 
or maintenance plan, and would require conformity NOx waivers to be 
granted under section 182(b)(1) of the [[Page 24004]] Clean Air Act. 
These amendments would also allow transportation control measures in an 
approved state implementation plan to proceed even if conformity of the 
transportation plan and program had lapsed. These amendments would also 
clarify some ambiguous language and make technical corrections which 
have already been articulated in EPA guidance.

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, March 1996. Final, Statutory, March 
1997.

Abstract: Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act requires that EPA list 
those categories of consumer and commercial products (CCPs) that 
account for at least 80 percent of volatile organic compounds (VOC) 
from all CCPs in ozone nonattainment areas. The list is to be divided 
into 4 groups by priority. The EPA is to regulate one group of 
categories every 2 years until all 4 groups are regulated. The first 
group must be regulated no later than 2 years after the EPA publishes 
the list and regulatory schedule.
The EPA has listed for regulation a group of 24 products which are 
currently regulated by California and several other States. The rule 
would set VOC content limits for the 24 categories of products. These 
limitations are currently being met by product manufacturers marketing 
products in California and other States. A Federal rule would provide 
consistency and would assist other States in achieving VOC reductions 
toward their 15-percent rate-of-progress requirements. This rule is 
supported by both the States and by the consumer products industry.

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act, sections 182 and 187

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 51

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA will propose a generic trading rule for ozone precursors 
(volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen) that will provide 
more flexibility than ever before for companies to trade emission 
credits without prior state or federal approval. After issuance by EPA, 
any State that adopts an identical rule will receive automatic EPA 
approval of its rule. Once in the state implementation plan (SIP), 
companies could engage in emissions trades without prior regulatory 
approval as long as accountability is ensure in accordance with the 
rule. The intended benefits of an active market in emissions trading 
are compliance with the ozone standard at far less cost, and an 
increased incentive to develop innovative emission reduction 
technologies.

implement revised useful life levels mandated by the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990. The long term durability program will translate 
into ongoing efforts by the EPA and vehicle manufacturers to develop 
durability procedures that will more accurately predict the emissions 
deterioration of vehicles in actual use.

Abstract: This action would consider an amendment to the existing 
regulations to include ports of entry as a location for EPA selection 
of foreign produced vehicles and engines for SEA emissions testing at 
laboratories in the U.S. While the regulations do not specify EPA 
authority to conduct such port selections, the increased flexibility 
provided by port selections warrants amending the regulations. 
Presently, EPA must travel overseas to conduct SEA audits of foreign 
manufactured vehicles and engines, even though most manufacturers now 
have access to laboratory facilities in the U.S. The benefits include a 
reduction in Agency cost since fewer overseas trips would be necessary. 
Also, EPA would be able to conduct more audits of foreign manufactured 
vehicles and engines.

3809. ``SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR'' DEFINITION FOR DIESEL FUELS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7545/CAAA 211(f)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 80

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 211(f)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act prohibits for use 
in light-duty vehicles, fuels and fuel additives which are not 
``substantially similar'' to fuels or additives used to certify 
vehicles to emissions standards. Section 211(f)(1)(B) expands these 
prohibitions to all motor vehicles. Since the term ``substantially 
similar'' is not defined in the Act, the intent of this rulemaking is 
to interpret the term ``substantially similar'' in regard to diesel 
fuel and diesel fuel additives and thus make more explicit which 
products are prohibited by section 211(f)(1)(B). The definition of 
``substantially similar'' enables manufacturers to determine whether 
their fuels or fuel additives are covered by, or excluded from, the 
section 211(f)(1)(B) prohibitions.

3810. NSPS FOR NITROGEN OXIDES (NOX) - REVISION

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, sec 407(c)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 60.40

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, January 1, 1993. NPRM, Judicial, 
October 31, 1995. Final, Statutory, January 1, 1994. Final, Judicial, 
December 31, 1996.

Abstract: The current NSPS for electric utility and industrial steam 
generating units was promulgated in 1979 and 1986 respectively. A major 
feature of the NSPS is NOx control through the use of overfire air or 
low NOx burners. Section 407 of the Clean Air Act requires the EPA to 
revise existing NSPS for NOx emissions from fossil-fuel fired steam 
generating units, including electric utility units. These revised 
standards are to reflect improvements in methods for the reduction of 
NOx emissions. At this time the revisions will be based on the 
performance of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the format of 
the standard will be changed to an output based standard. Costs to 
industry and regulatory agencies arising from revised NSPS are being 
determined.

3812. AMENDMENT TO THE MVAC RULE TO INCLUDE ALL REFRIGERANTS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7401 et seq; Title VI, Section 609

CFR Citation:  42 CFR 82, subpart B

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, November 15, 1994.
Both the venting prohibition and the MVAC ``refrigerant'' definition 
expand to cover all refrigerants, beginning 11/15/95, according to 
sections 608 and 609 of the Clean Air Act.

Abstract: This action would facilitate fulfillment of two statutory 
requirements; the extension of the no-venting prohibition to all 
refrigerants under section 608 and the section 609 requirement that the 
term ``refrigerant,'' after November 15, 1995, include substitute 
refrigerants. The action would extend the applicable current 
requirements of the motor vehicle air-conditioning rule to the 
substitute refrigerants. This would require recovery and recycling of 
these refrigerants, in addition to the class I and class II 
refrigerants already covered under the MVAC rule. It would also require 
approved recycling equipment and specific certifications of equipment 
and technicians. The MVAC ``refrigerant'' definition was expanded to 
cover all refrigerants, beginning November 15, 1995, according to 
sections 608 and 609 of the Clean Air Act. [[Page 24007]]

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7401 et seq, section 608

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 82, subpart F

Legal Deadline:  Other, Statutory, May 15, 1995.
The current rule sunsets the reclamation standard after May 15, 1995. 
Industry is requesting a change to that sunset, which would require a 
final rule by that 5/15/95 date.

Abstract: The current rule sunsets the requirement that a reclamation 
standard be met, as of May 1, 1995. Several members of the regulated 
community have approached EPA requesting that the requirement not be 
sunsetted or that it be replaced with a somewhat less stringent 
standard. This amendment will incorporate a level of continued required 
reclamation and/or recycling standard that the majority of the affected 
industry agrees is beneficial in order to encourage compliance.

The action would provide regulations covering recovery/recycling 
equipment, recovery/recycling practices, and applicable certifications 
that would be required to accomplish compliance with the no-venting 
prohibition. Requirements would parallel those of the current section 
608 regulations, expanding applicability, where appropriate, to all 
refrigerants.

Final, Statutory, November 15, 1992.
Other, Judicial, October 15, 1994, Consent decree for interimprogram.
Final, Judicial, June 30, 1995, Consent decree for full program.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandate EPA to 
promulgate regulations establishing specifications for additives in 
gasoline beginning in 1995 to prevent the accumulation of deposits in 
the engine or fuel supply systems. The establishment of such 
specifications should ensure the use of additives in the 10 to 25 
percent of fuel projected not to contain additives by 1995, as well as 
the proper amount and type of additives to have the desired effect 
without causing negative side effects. Controlling engine and fuel 
supply system deposits is expected to achieve better vehicle 
performance, a significant reduction in in-use emissions, and the 
potential for significant economic advantages due to a decreased need 
for premium gasoline use.

licensees under Section 112, if the agency, by rule and in consultation 
with the NRC, determines that the NRC regulatory program provides an 
ample margin of safety to protect the public health. EPA analyzed the 
public health risks posed by nuclear power plants to determine whether 
NRC's regulatory program for air emissions provides an ample margin of 
safety to protect the public health. EPA has determined that the NRC 
regulatory program results in sufficiently low doses to meet the Clean 
Air Act requirement of providing an ample margin of safety to protect 
the public health. Based on these findings, EPA will issue a final rule 
to rescind Subpart I of 40 CFR Part 61 as it applies to nuclear power 
reactors.

Abstract: In accordance with section 112(d)(9) of the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), EPA is considering whether or not to issue a 
final rule to rescind Subpart I of 40 CFR Part 61, as it applies to 
facilities licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or NRC 
Agreement States which are not engaged in the generation of nuclear 
power (57 FR 56877, December 1, 1992). Section 112(d)(9) gives EPA the 
authority to decline to regulate NRC-licensees after the Administrator 
makes a determination, by rule, and in consultation with the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC), that the regulatory program established by 
the NRC pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act provides an ample margin of 
safety to protect the public health. Several issues have arisen since 
EPA issued the proposal rescission which must be resolved before EPA 
can make the requisite legal finding pursuant to Section 112(d)(9). EPA 
has decided that it will not issue the final rescission until after 
NRC's program is strengthened and provides an ample margin of safety to 
protect the public health.

Abstract: On July 14, 1992, EPA published a final regulation on the 
servicing of motor vehicle air-conditioners. That rule established that 
two types of equipment could be used in service: equipment that 
recovers and recycles refrigerant or equipment that only recovers 
refrigerant from the motor vehicle. The refrigerant from recover only 
equipment must then be recycled on-site or sent off-site for 
reclamation. The July 14, 1992, final rule contains the equipment 
standard for recycling equipment in Appendix A, but the recover only 
equipment standard was proposed separately in a supplemental proposal 
published April 22, 1992. This rule will finalize the recover only 
standard as Appendix B in the motor vehicle servicing regulation.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: A new method for monitoring pollutants in ambient air has 
been developed and introduced to the EPA. This new monitor, called an 
open path analyzer, is capable of measuring pollutant concentrations 
over a path of several meters to several kilometers. Traditional 
monitoring methods measure gaseous pollutant concentrations by 
extracting an air sample through an inlet probe, resulting in a 
``point'' measurement. The advent of open path technology has 
necessitated this revision of the existing regulations which govern the 
use of ambient air monitors. These revisions will parallel existing 
criteria required for ambient air monitors used in the state and local 
air quality monitoring networks.

Abstract: New source performance standards (NSPS) limiting emissions of 
nitrogen oxides (NOx) from industrial-commercial-institutional steam 
generating units capable of combusting more than 100 million Btu per 
hour were proposed on June 19, 1984 and were promulgated on November 
25, 1986. These standards limit NOx emissions from the combustion of 
fossil fuels, as well as the combustion of fossil fuels with other 
fuels or wastes. The standards include provisions for facility-specific 
NOx standards for steam generating units which 
[[Page 24011]] simultaneously combust fossil fuel and chemical 
byproduct waste(s) under certain conditions. Two separate notices will 
propose to approve facility-specific NOx standards for steam generating 
units which simultaneously combusts fossil fuel and chemical byproduct 
waste at the Cytec Industries Fortier Plant located in Westwego, 
Louisiana, and at the Rohm and Hass Kentucky Plant located in 
Louisville, Kentucky.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 35, subpart A

Legal Deadline: None
In order to assure that state, local, and tribal agencies are still 
eligible to receive a section 105 air grant in FY 1995, the interim 
final rule must be in place before October 1, 1994.

Abstract: The purpose of this action is to revise the current air grant 
regulations contained in 40 CFR 35, subpart A, so that they are 
consistent to the changes made to section 105 as a result of enactment 
of the 1990 Clean Air Act. The Act also directed EPA to reexamine and 
revise, as necessary, certain aspects of the air grant cost-sharing 
relationship that must now be revised to reflect the impact of: (1) the 
Title V permit fee provisions contained in 40 CFR 20 and (2) a recent 
OGC opinion prohibiting the use of Title V fees to help meet the 
nonfederal contribution requirements of the section 105 air grant 
program. This revision includes the introduction of a provision to 
allow recipients to receive (upon demonstration to, and approval by, 
the Administrator) a waiver from certain cost-sharing requirements for 
a limited time.

Abstract: On November 15, 1994, EPA published a notice announcing a 
proposed decision not to revise the existing 24 -hour and annual 
primary standards. In that notice EPA sought public comment on the 
possible need to adopt additional regulatory measures to address short-
term peak sulfur dioxide exposure and thereby further reduce the health 
risk to asthmatic individuals.
On March 7, 1995 EPA published the proposed requirements for 
implementation plans and ambient air quality surveillance for sulfur 
dioxide. The action proposes implementation strategies for reducing 
short-term high concentration sulfur dioxide emissions in the ambient 
air.

municipal waste combustors under Sections 111 and 129; to base these 
standards and guidelines on maximum achievable control technology; and 
to include emission limits for particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, 
hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, mercury, lead, 
cadmium, and dioxins and dibenzofurans. The standards for both large 
and small municipal waste combustors have been combined into one set of 
standards. These standards are being developed under EPA's integrated 
combustion strategy, whereby EPA will regulate various forms of 
combustion under a coordinated plan. Two other elements of this 
strategy, the emission standards for medical waste and hazardous waste 
combustion, are summarized elsewhere in this Regulatory Plan.

Administrator listed under section 111(b)(1)(A) before the date of the 
enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and for which 
regulations had not been proposed by the Administrator by such date. At 
the time of enactment of the 1990 Amendments, there were approximately 
19 categories of major stationary sources listed on the NSPS priority 
list for which NSPS had not been proposed, including the starch 
manufacturing industry. When, by November 15, 1992 the Agency had not 
proposed any NSPS covering this group of categories, the Sierra Club 
and the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed suit on January 
19, 1993 against the Agency in the U.S. District Court District of 
Columbia (the court), for failing to meet its obligations under the 
Act. A partial consent decree was lodged with the court on July 22, 
1993. This decree mandated that NSPS be proposed for at least 3 of the 
unregulated categories of major stationary sources from the priority 
list on or before August 31, 1994, with the Agency having the

3837. NESHAP: ASBESTOS PROCESSING

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7412/CAA 112

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, January 15, 1995. Final, Judicial, 
November 15, 1995.

Abstract: The asbestos processing source category was listed as an area 
source to be regulated under the Clean Air Act (57 FR 31590). The 
purpose of this action was to determine whether additional regulation 
of the asbestos processing source category was needed, and, if needed, 
to develop maximum achievable control technology (MACT) or generally 
achievable control technology (GACT) standards for the asbestos 
processing source category. This source category is comprised of the 
milling, manufacturing, and fabrication subcategories of the asbestos 
NESHAP (40 CFR 61). Pollutants to be regulated include asbestos and 
other HAPs emitted in major amounts by these subcategories. On the 
basis of new information received during the information collection 
process, OAR has proposed to remove list. Information on this proposed 
action can be found in 60 FR 4624.

Abstract: Guidance in the form of a rulemaking is being developed in 
accordance with the requirements of section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 for modified, constructed and reconstructed major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This guidance sets de 
minimis levels of applicability to regulation for changes to major 
sources for the 189 listed HAPs and establishes a ranking for 
determinations of offsets of modifications to existing sources. 
Guidance is also issued for case-by-case MACT determinations that apply 
to constructed and reconstructed major sources or to existing sources 
which cannot offset emission increases above de minimis levels.

3845. NESHAP--CYANIDE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act, sec 112 as amended November 1990

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, November 15, 1997.
EPA is required to promulgate 50% of the source categories listed in 
Section 112(e) by 11/15/97. The cyanide chemical manufacturing source 
category is among those included in the 50%.

Abstract: Cyanide compounds are among the pollutants listed as 
hazardous air pollutants in Section 112 of the Clean Air Act Amendments 
of 1990. As a consequence, the EPA has determined that sources that 
manufacture cyanide compounds may reasonable be anticipated to emit 
cyanide compounds in quantities sufficient to qualify them as major 
sources. Three source categories that either produce hydrogen cyanide 
or use it in the production of other chemicals, specifically cyanuric 
chloride and sodium cyanide, are on the initial list of HAP emitting 
source categories selected for regulation. The results of an initial 
assessment of the three source categories conducted by the Agency 
indicated that the facilities comprising each of the three source 
categories qualify as SOCMI sources. An interim final notice will be 
prepared proposing the addition of the cyanide chemical manufacturing 
source categories to the list of SOCMI processes to be regulated under 
the Hazardous Organic NESHAP.

3846. AMENDMENTS TO PART 63 TO ESTABLISH PROVISIONS FOR DETERMINING 
POTENTIAL TO EMIT

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7401 et seq

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 63

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under authority of sections 112 and 114 of the Clean Air Act 
(Act) Amendments of 1990, provisions are being described to enable 
stationary sources to establish federally enforceable controls to limit 
their ``potential to emit'' hazardous air pollutants (HAP). These 
provisions would help sources determine whether they are subject to new 
Federal air toxics regulations under section 112 and permitting 
requirements under title V of the Act that apply to sources with the 
potential to emit air pollutants above a certain threshold. Under these 
regulations, controls must be federally enforceable to be considered as 
limiting a source's potential to emit. With federally enforceable 
potential to emit limits for HAPs, sources could avoid being considered 
``major sources'' of HAPs, and thus avoid having to comply with section 
112 and title V requirements that apply only to major sources.
In addition, the interim final rule would provide new mechanisms for 
establishing permanent, federally enforceable limits on a source-
specific basis through State rules or programs that are approved by the 
EPA for this purpose. (cont)

Additional Information: SAN No. 3479.
ABSTRACT CONT: This rule would: streamline the process for sources to 
receive approval of emission controls as federally enforceable; reduce 
the recordkeeping, reporting, and other compliance burdens on section 
112 affected sources; and avoid overregulation of facilities that are 
not true ``major sources'' of HAPs.
The provisions for determining potential to emit would amend 
regulations already established to implement the new Federal air toxics 
program under section 112, including the General Provisions.
This action resulted from splitting of 2060-AC98 and 2060-2918.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act, sec 183(a)

CFR Citation:  Not applicable

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, November 1993.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act required EPA to issue control technology 
guidelines (CTG's) for 13, including two specifically named, source 
categories by November 15, 1993. The CTG's address volatile organic 
compounds (VOC) that are precursors to ozone formation. A CTG covering 
two of the source categories - chemical plant distillation and reactor 
process vents - was published by that date. Meanwhile, the States were 
required to develop rules for the CTG source categories by November 15, 
1994. The EPA decided to issue Alternative Control Techniques (ACT) 
documents for the remaining source categories to help the States. ACT's 
differ from CTG's in that they are information documents only; they do 
not contain recommended control levels. ACT's were issued for volatile 
organic liquid storage, batch operations, wastewater operations, 
cleanup solvents, lithographic printing, coating of plastic parts, 
shipbuilding and repair coating operations, wood furniture coatings, 
and autobody refinishing. In addition, hazardous air pollutant rules 
are being developed for three of the CTG source categories under 
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. CONT.

section 86.094-17(d), requires that, ``If a malfunction has previously 
been detected, the MIL may be extinguished if the malfunction does not 
reoccur during three subsequent sequential trips during which engine 
speed is within 375 rpm, engine load is within 10 percent, and the 
engine's warm-up status is the same as that under which the malfunction 
was first detected, and no new malfunctions have been detected.'' 
California has adopted the same requirement, but has limited its 
applicability to fuel system and engine misfire malfunctions while the 
federal requirement applies to all malfunctions. California allows MIL 
illumination associated with all other malfunctions to be extinguished 
after undergoing three subsequent trips without recurrence of the 
malfunction regardless of undergoing similar engine conditions.

ABSTRACT CONT: In the interest of minimizing the differences between 
federal OBD and California OBD II requirements, and because recent 
information made available to the Agency suggests that limiting similar 
conditions data storage to misfire and fuel system malfunctions is most 
appropriate, we intend to issue this rulemaking to require the same 
similar conditions data storage as required by the OBD II rulemaking.

203; 42 USC 7550/CAA 216; 42 USC 7601/CAA 301

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 85

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action will amend the regulations in 40 CFR part 85, 
Subpart P to allow entry into the U.S. of vehicles which are originally 
sold in Canada and which are identical to their U.S. counterparts, 
without obtaining a certificate of conformity from EPA. This action is 
in response to a petition for review of import rules. The final rule 
also addresses certain other issues in part 85, subpart P and subpart 
R, including: 1) formalizing a longstanding EPA policy regarding the 
importation of owned vehicles that are proven to be identical to a 
vehicle certified for sale in the U.S., 2) establishing new emission 
standards applicable to imported nonconforming vehicles, 3) clarifying 
the regulatory language that concerns exclusions and exemptions from 
meeting Federal emission requirements, and 4) providing several minor 
clarifications to the existing regulations.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 91

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Judicial, September 30, 1994. Final, Judicial, 
November 22, 1995.

Abstract: This action will implement emission standards and test 
procedures for currently unregulated marine engines. Section 213 of the 
Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended requires the EPA to conduct a study to 
determine whether emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen 
(NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from nonroad engines and 
vehicles contribute to levels of ambient ozone and CO in more than one 
area not in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
(NAAQS) for these pollutants. EPA has determined ( 59 FR 31306) that 
emissions from such sources significantly contribute to nonattainment 
of the NAAQS for ozone and CO in more than one area. Since the Agency 
made this positive determination, section 213 requires EPA to 
promulgate regulations that will result in reductions in emissions from 
non-road sources. Consequently, EPA is this proposal to reduce 
emissions from marine engines.

The final rule committed the Agency to revise the fee annually. The 
collection schedule is tied to a calendar year.

Abstract: The User Fees for Radon Proficiency Programs Final Rule 
established fees that EPA will collect annually to support its 
voluntary radon proficiency programs. The rule requires individuals and 
organizations applying to or participating in the National Radon 
Measurement Proficiency (RMP) and/or the National Contractor 
Proficiency (RCP) Programs to pay annual fees. The User Fees for Radon 
Proficiency Programs Final Rule states that the EPA shall adjust the 
fees over the next five years to a level that will ultimately be 
sufficient to recover the full annual costs of the program. Through 
this technical amendment, EPA will revise its fee schedule to collect a 
larger percentage of its annual operating costs. The annual fee will 
also reflect changes in the proficiency programs, inflation, etc. In 
the calculation of the annual fee, the Agency will take into 
consideration the impact of the first year of fee collection on the 
Radon industry.

3885.  ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS: ACCEPTANCE OF REVISED 
CALIFORNIA OBD II REQUIREMENTS; OBD RELIEF FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELED

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act as amended sections 202(m) 202(a) 301; 
42 USC 7521a; 42 USC 7521m; 42 USC 7542c; 42 USC 7601a

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 86

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The federal OBD rulemaking, published February 19, 1993, 
allowed for compliance with California OBD II requirements as 
satisfying federal OBD requirements through the 1998 model year; an 
allowance of which most original equipment automobile manufacturers 
intend to take advantage. The California Air Resources Board has 
recently revised their OBD II requirements. The federal OBD regulations 
require appropriate revisions such that compliance with the recently 
revised OBD II requirements will satisfy federal OBD. Additionally, 
aspects of the federal OBD requirements will be revised and updated, in 
some cases to maintain consistency with the OBD II provisions, 
including providing OBD relief for alternative fueled vehicles, and in 
some cases to clarify federal OBD provisions.

3914.  NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS) AND EMISSION 
GUIDELINES FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL WASTE INCINERATORS

Legal Authority:  Clean Air Act section 129

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 60

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, November 15, 1993. NPRM, Judicial, 
March 1, 1996. Final, Statutory, November 15, 1994. Final, Judicial, 
March 1, 1997.

Abstract: Section 129 of the Clean Air Act Amendments requires the 
Agency to finalize New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission 
Guidelines (EG) for Industrial and Commercial Waste Incinerators 
(ICWIs) by December 20, 1994, sign the proposed NSPS and EG by March 1, 
1996 and finalize by March 1, 1997. The Agency has little information 
on what ICWI sources may be or where they are located. The Agency 
believes that most incinerators basically operate the same and that the 
controls for most incinerators are similar. Therefore, unless 
information is received that leads to consideration of alternative 
limits, the EPA anticipates using data and information used to develop 
the Municipal Waste Combustor NSPS and EG to develop the NSPS and EG 
for ICWIs.

THE CONTROL STRATEGY PERIOD

Legal Authority:  42 USC 7521(a)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 93

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These amendments would extend the time before the conformity 
status of the transportation plan lapses in ozone nonattainment areas 
whose state implementation plans due November 15, 1994, have been found 
incomplete. These amendments would also clarify some ambiguous language 
and make technical corrections which have already been articulated in 
EPA guidance.

3934. REPORTABLE QUANTITY ADJUSTMENTS FOR CARBAMATES

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  PL 96-510, sec 102(a); PL 99-499

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 302

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA has listed carbamate waste streams as hazardous wastes 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA listed 
wastes, by statute, automatically become hazardous substances under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) and are assigned a one pound statutory reportable quantity 
(RQ) unless EPA adjusts them. These substances also become subject to 
reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right 
to Know Act (EPCRA) with a one pound threshold. EPA, in this action, 
will propose RQ adjustments for the carbamates. Most RQ adjustments are 
[[Page 24028]] expected to be greater than one pound. Raising the RQs 
for these substances would decrease the burden on the regulated 
community for complying with the reporting requirements under CERCLA 
and EPCRA. Federal, State, and local authorities' burden for 
implementing these requirements would be reduced. If the Federal, 
State, or local authorities are releasers of hazardous substances at 
the RQ level or greater, their reporting obligation would also be 
reduced by this rule.

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 302.6(c); 40 CFR 355.40(a)(2)(vi)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule affects the requirement in Superfund and the 
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act that facilities 
immediately report to State, local and federal authorities releases of 
hazardous substances that equal or exceed ``reportable quantities.'' In 
1989, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set reportable 
quantities for radionuclides (a category of hazardous substances) by 
regulation. In that same rule EPA also established four exemptions to 
the general reporting requirement, to exclude from it certain releases 
of naturally occurring radionuclides for which the government does not 
need reports. These exemptions are for releases from: (1) large land 
holdings; (2) disturbances of land for purposes other than mining; (3) 
the dumping of coal and coal ash at utility and industrial facilities 
with coal-fired boilers; and (4) coal and ash piles at those 
facilities. Later, a court ruled that the Agency had promulgated the 
four exemptions without giving the public opportunity to comment, which 
the Agency has done. However, based on those comments, the Agency is 
now seeking in this rulemaking to get further comments on the 
possibility of broadening the exemptions. Depending upon the Agency's 
analysis of comments received, it could either reaffirm or modify the 
exemptions, thus either leaving unchanged or possibly reducing the 
burden on facilities which must report, and on the State and local 
authorities which must receive and evaluate reports to determine 
whether reported releases pose a threat to human health and the 
environment.

3937. RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR CHEMICAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASE 
PREVENTION

Priority:  Economically Significant

Legal Authority:  PL 101-549; Clean Air Act Section 112(r)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 68

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, November 15, 1993.

Abstract: Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, 
required EPA to promulgate by November 15, 1993 reasonable regulations 
and appropriate guidance to provide for prevention and detection of 
accidental releases of chemicals and for response to such releases. The 
regulations shall require the owner or operator of stationary sources 
at which a regulated substance is present to prepare and implement a 
risk management plan (RMP) that must include a hazard 
[[Page 24029]] assessment that evaluates the potential effects of an 
accidental release of any regulated substance and must also include a 
five-year accident release history. The RMP must document a prevention 
program and document a response program that provides specific actions 
to be taken to protect human health and the environment in response to 
a release. The RMPs must be registered with EPA and must be submitted 
to the State in which the facility is located and to any local agency 
that has responsibility for planning for or responding to chemical 
accidents. EPA must establish a system for auditing the RMPs to ensure 
that plans are periodically updated.
EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking on October 20, 1993. In 
reviewing close to 1,000 comments received, the Agency recognized the 
need for a supplemental notice to clarify some of the issues raised by 
commenters and seek additional public comments on several of the 
issues. The supplemental notice was signed by the Administrator on 
February 28, 1995. The deadline for the final RMP rule is March 29, 
1996, following which, regulated sources will have three years to 
comply with the RMP requirements.
EPA promulgated a list of substances and thresholds on January 30, 1994 
(59 FR 4478), which determines which facilities must comply with the 
accident prevention regulations. The regulated universe includes small 
businesses and state/local/and tribal governments that have more than a 
threshold quantity of a regulated substance. In order to minimize the 
impact on smaller sources, EPA is planning to develop model RMPs for 
industry sectors that utilize similar equipment and handle a single 
chemical. To further reduce the burden on medium and smaller sources, 
EPA is planning to develop ``lookup tables'' for at least the most 
ubiquitous chemicals that facilities could use in the evaluation of 
their offsite consequence analysis based on worst-case scenarios.

3938. DESIGNATION UNDER CERCLA AND REPORTABLE QUANTITY ADJUSTMENTS 
FOR CLEAN AIR ACT HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS; REPORTABLE QUANTITY 
ADJUSTMENTS OF HAZARDOUS WASTES

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 9602/CERCLA 102(a)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 302.4; 40 CFR 117.3; 40 CFR 355

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act (CERCLA), the definition of ``hazardous substance'' 
includes substances from various environmental statutes, including the 
Clean Air Act (CAA) and the Resource Conservation and recovery Act 
(RCRA). When substances are added to these statutes, they automatically 
become CERCLA hazardous substances with a one-pound statutory 
reportable quantity (RQ). This action will: (1) list on the CERCLA 
hazardous substances table the hazardous air pollutants added to CAA 
section 112 that automatically became CERCLA hazardous substances; (2) 
adjust the statutory one-pound RQs of these substances; (3) list on the 
CERCLA hazardous substances table the RCRA hazardous wastes that have 
not been added to the CERCLA table; (4) adjust the RQs for these and 
other hazardous wastes; including waste streams FO37 and FO38 (sludge 
from petroleum refinery separation processes). Conforming changes will 
be made to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act 
(EPCRA) tables of extremely hazardous substances. By raising the RQs 
for these substances, it will decrease the burden on the regulated 
community for complying with the reporting requirements under CERCLA 
and EPCRA. Federal, State, and local authorities' burden for 
implementing these requirements will be reduced. If the Federal, State, 
or local authorities are releasers of hazardous substances at the RQ 
level or greater, their reporting obligation will also be reduced by 
this rule.

Priority:  Informational

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed Guideline for Ecological Risk Assessment is 
intended to guide Agency evaluations of ecological risks in line with 
the policies and procedures established in the statutes administered by 
EPA. These Guidelines set forth principles and procedures to guide EPA 
scientists in the conduct of Agency risk assessments and to inform 
Agency decision makers and the public about these procedures. In 
particular, the Guidelines expand on the general ecological risk 
assessment process described in the Agency report''Framework for 
Ecological Risk Assessment,'' (EPA/630/R-92/001) and covers a broad 
range of ecological concerns. The Guideline stresses the need for sound 
initial planning of the ecological risk assessment as well as 
appropriate characterization of the risks, including identification of 
the major assumptions, uncertainties, and limitations of the 
assessment.
These guidelines will have minimal to no impact on small businesses or 
state, local and tribal governments.

RULE CONFORMS TO THE NEW FEDERAL FACILITY COMPLIANCE ACT

Priority:  Informational

Legal Authority:  42 USC 6961(b)(2)

CFR Citation:  40 CFR 22.37(g)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: In October 1992, Congress passed the FFCA which amended the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The FFCA provided EPA 
with administrative order authority. When issuing these orders, EPA 
will use the 40 CFR section 22 hearing procedures. In the part 22 
procedures, Sections 31 and 32, the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) 
issues a final order. However, in the FFCA, Congress stated that no 
order would be final until the Federal agency has an opportunity to 
confer with the Administrator. As the procedures are currently 
structured, the Federal agency only gets the opportunity to confer 
after appealing to the EAB. Thus, there is a direct contradiction 
between the rules promulgated and the FFCA. We would propose an 
amendment to state that, in the case of a Federal agency, an EAB order 
is not final for purposes of the FFCA.

3962.  FINAL GUIDELINES FOR REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY RISK 
ASSESSMENT

Priority:  Informational

Legal Authority:  Not applicable

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These proposed Guidelines for Reproductive Toxicity Risk 
Assessment (hereafter ``Guidelines'') are intended to guide Agency 
evaluation of suspect reproductive toxicants in line with the policies 
and procedures established in the statutes administered by the EPA. 
These Guidelines set forth principles and procedures to guide EPA 
scientists in the conduct of Agency risk assessments and to inform 
Agency decision makers and the public about these procedures. In 
particular, the Guidelines emphasize that risk assessments will be 
conducted on a case-by-case basis, giving full consideration to all 
relevant scientific information. This case-by-case approach means that 
Agency experts study scientific information on each chemical under 
review and use the most scientifically appropriate interpretation to 
assess risk. The Guidelines also stress that this information will be 
fully presented in Agency risk assessment documents, and that Agency 
scientists will identify the strengths and weaknesses of each 
assessment by describing uncertainties, assumptions, and limitations, 
as well as the scientific basis and rationale for each assessment. They 
incorporate current scientific thinking and sound science policies 
based on evaluation of the currently available information.

3963.  FINAL GUIDELINES FOR CARCINOGEN RISK ASSESSMENT

Priority:  Informational

CFR Citation:  None

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Agency will use these guidelines to evaluate suspect 
carcinogens in line with the policies and procedures established in the 
statutes administered by the EPA. These guidelines revise and replace 
EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment published at 51 FR 33992, 
September 24, 1986. These guidelines provide EPA staff and decision-
makers with the directions and perspectives necessary to develop and 
use risk assessments. The guidelines also provide the general public 
with basic information about the Agency's approaches to risk 
assessment.
To develop guidelines the Agency must find a balance between 
consistency and innovation. Consistent risk assessments provide 
consistent bases to support regulatory decision-making. On other hand, 
innovation is necessary so the Agency will base its decisions on 
current scientific thinking. In balancing these and other science 
policies, the Agency relies on input from the general 
[[Page 24035]] scientific community through established scientific peer 
review processes. The guidelines incorporate basic principles and 
science policies based on evaluation of the currently available 
information. The revisions place increased emphasis on the role of 
carcinogenic mechanisms in risk assessment and clearer explication of 
underlying assumptions in risk assessment.
These Guidelines will have minimal to no impact on small businesses or 
state, local, and tribal governments.
