Thresholds for Accidental Release
Prevention; Requirements for Petitions
Under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air
Act as Amended
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).

comment period and notice of public
hearing.

SUMMARY: On January 19,1993 the
Environmental Protection Agency
proposed a list of regulated substances
and threshold quantities as required
under section 112(r) of the Clean Air
Act as amended. EPA also proposed the
requirements for the petition process
that will be used to add or delete
substances from the final list. The list
and threshold quantities will determine
the need for owners and operators of
                       facilities to comply with future
                       regulations under 112(r) of the Clean Air
                       Act as amended, addressing the
                       prevention and detection of accidental
                       releases. This notice extends the public
                       comment period for the proposed rule
                       and schedules a public hearing.
                       DATES: The comment period for the
                       proposed rule will be extended from the
