TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY
Copper Phthalocyanine Compounds Excluded from
the Reporting Requirements under the Copper
Compounds Category on the EPCRA section 313 list
      Section 313 of EPCRA requires certain facilities manufacturing, processing, or
otherwise using listed toxic chemicals to report their environmental releases of such
chemicals annually.  Beginning with the 1991 reporting year, such facilities also must report
pollution prevention and recycling data for such chemicals, pursuant to section 6607 of the
Pollution Prevention Act, 42 U.S.C. 13106. When enacted, section 313 established an initial
list of toxic chemicals that was comprised of more than 300 chemicals and 20 chemical
categories. Section 313(d) authorizes EPA to add chemicals to or delete chemicals from the
list, and sets forth criteria for these actions.  The current EPCRA section 313 toxic chemical
list contains over 650 chemicals and chemical categories.

                               Section 1.  Introduction
       On April 11, 1995 (60 PR 18361), EPA finalized the deletion of all copper
phthalocyanine compounds substituted with only hydrogen and/or chlorine and/or bromine
from the copper compounds category of the list of toxic chemicals under section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA).  This deletion is
described at 40 CFR 372.65, and is effective April 11, 1995.  This deletion relieves facilities
of their obligation to report releases that occurred during 1994 and all future years for these
copper phthalocyanine compounds.  Therefore, the last reports facilities were required to file
for these compounds would have been July 1, 1994, covering releases that occurred during
calendar year 1993.

       This guidance document provides the chemical structure that defines those copper
phthalocyanine compounds that were delisted as well as a list of copper phthalocyanine
compounds substituted with only hydrogen and/or chlorine and/or bromine.  While EPA
believes this list to be a complete Ust of the copper phthalocyanine compounds that have
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers, there may be compounds without CAS numbers
which meet the chemical structure but are not included hi the list. In this case, the chemical
would still be excluded from the EPCRA section 313 reporting requirements.

-------
    Section 2.  Chemical Structure for Delisted Copper Phthalocyanine Compounds

      EPA is providing the following structure to assist facilities in determining if a specific
copper phthalocyanine compound has been delisted from the copper compounds category
under Section 313 of EPCRA.
 where R= H and/or Br and/or Cl only..

-------
Section 3.    Listing of Copper Phthalocyanine Pigments that Meet the Delisting
             Criteria

       EPA is providing the following list of CAS numbers and chemical names to aid the
regulated community in detennining whether they need to report under EPCRA section 313
for copper phthalocyanine compounds substituted with only hydrogen and/or chlorine and/or
bromine. However, this list is not exhaustive.  There may be copper phthalocyanine
compounds that are covered by the above chemical structure but are not listed below.  In this
case, the copper phthalocyanine compound would be excluded from the- EPCRA section 313
copper compounds category and therefore, the EPCRA section 313 reporting  requirements.
