EPA is taking this action pursuant to its authority to add to the list those facilities that meet the standard of EPCRA section 313(b)(1)(B). Reporting for facilities within these industry groups will be effective beginning with the 1998 reporting year. The first reports from the added facilities must be submitted to EPA and the States by July 1, 1999.
