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

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identify rules that are obsolete or no
longer applicable or which could be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
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 88 / Monday, May 8, 1995 / Unified Agenda
23929
EPA
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: 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 widi
the revised data requirements and new
use indexing implemented pursuant to
1988 FIFRA amendments.

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 as a
new regulatory requirement for those
pesticides; absent an EPA-approved
state plan specifying risk-reduction
measures, use of the chemical would
be prohibited. The rule would also
specify procedures and deadlines for
development, approval and
implementation of SMPs.

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

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.

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.

Abstract: Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 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

(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.

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.

Abstract: Under TSCA title IV, section
402(c)(2) EPA is currently conducting
a study to determine whether the
activities of individuals engaged in
renovation and remodeling activities
result in lead exposure levels that may
affect the health of workers, building
occupants or the environment is at risk,
the Agency must proceed to develop
regulations under Section 402(c)(3).
These regulations would require that
individuals engaged in renovation and
remodeling activities acquire training
and obtain certification. These training
and certification requirements would be
similar to those that the Agency is
developing for individuals performing
lead-based paint abatement under
Section 402(a) of TSCA, Title IV.

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.

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.

Abstract: EPA has instituted a program
to regulate the commercial
development of new chemicals that
have completed premanufacture notice

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

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

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.

Abstract: On October 2, 1991, EPA
proposed a regulation of acrylamide
and NMA grouts based on the
unreasonable risk associated with their
usage. EPA's proposed rule would
prohibit the manufacture, distribution
in commerce, and use of acrylamide
grout; and would prohibit all uses of
NMA grout, except its use for sewer
line repair. The proposed rule would
also prohibit, after a period of three
years, the manufacture and distribution
in commerce of NMA grout for any
purpose, and the use of NMA grout for
sewer line repair. EPA will review the
public comments and develop a final
rule.

Abstract: This rule would relax the

the current reclassification
requirements of 50 degree centigrade

of a preliminary analysis indicate that
many transformers never reach the

risks to employees and to the general

8(e)
CFR Citation: None
Legal Deadline: None
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

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.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

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

the POTW pretreatment program will

The new regulations will reduce the
administrative burden and cost
associated with approving and
maintaining approved pretreatment
programs without affecting
environmental protection. Impacts on

small businesses are expected to be
positive. The rule is deregulatory.

in order to meet the Chlorofluorocarbon
(CFG) phaseout requirements of the
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
Method 1664 uses normal hexane (n-
hexane) as the extraction solvent in
place of l,l,2-trichloro-l,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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Abstract: At present, not all States

rulemaking would amend EPA's
existing regulations governing the
approval of State programs to issue
NPDEs permits. These regulations are

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.

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.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 33 USC 2601/Shore
Protection Act of 1988 (PL 100-6-
88),4103(b)
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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

Proposed Rule Stage
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.

Abstract: EPA has proposed maximum

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

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

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.

Abstract: Past and present waste

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.

Abstract: Some oil storage facilities
have insufficient response planning and

the United States.
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA)
requires all oil facilities to prepare,

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,

facility response plan program remains
a federal program, with no
implementation functions delegated to
state or local governments.

WASTE LANDFILLS
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: RCRA 4004, RCRA

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.

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).

Abstract: Under the current RCRA
"mixture" and "derived from" rules,
some low risk wastes are currently
regulated by EPA's stringent hazardous
waste regulations. To address this
problem, this deregulatory action will
make modifications the "mixture" and
"derived from" rules, and establish
new criteria that would exempt certain
low risk wastes from the hazardous
waste regulations. In developing this
action, EPA is considering the views
of all members of a Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) committee. This
action will be implemented by EPA and
authorized States; impacts on local
governments and small businesses are
undetermined.

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

Presently what is supposed to be a

EPA is developing a proposed rule, as

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

Abstract: The RCRA statute is silent on

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

Abstract: This action known as the

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.

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.

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.

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 6921/RCRA
3001
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 261
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: In the final hazardous waste
Toxicity Characteristic (TC) rule
published in June 1990, EPA decided
to temporarily defer 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Abstract: This regulation will limit the

contaminated underground storage tank
(UST) properties they hold as collateral

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

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.

Abstract: Mandatory Federal Class I
areas throughout the United States are

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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: 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.

regulations).
This proposed rule will establish the

highway and transit actions
("transportation conformity ").
Transportation conformity requirements
are being established in a separate

Abstract: This standard will control
emissions of hazardous air pollutants
from pulp and paper mills. The
regulation could address air emissions
from process vents, open process
equipment, tanks, furnaces, kilns,
spills, and wastewater collection and
treatment. The following mill areas
could be affected: pulping, bi-product
recovery (e.g. turpentine recovery, tall
oil recovery), pulp washing,
prebleaching, bleaching, evaporation,
paper making, liquor recovery (e.g.
recovery furnaces, lime kilns,
causticizing tanks, smelt tanks), and
acid plants. Phase I noncombustion air
emission standards and Phase II
combustion air emission standards for
chemical wood pulp mills (kraft, soda,
sulfite, and semichemical) are being
integrated with the Clean Water Act
effluent guideline limitations under
development (see RIN 2040-AB53).
Phase III air emission standards are

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.

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.

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.

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

which are not "substantially similar" to
fuels or additives used to certify
vehicles to emissions standards.
Section 211(f)(l)(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)(l)(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)(l)(B) prohibitions.

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.

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-

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

have approached EPA requesting that
the requirement not be sunsetted or
that it be replaced with a somewhat

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.

Abstract: Section 113(f) of the Clean
Air Act granted to the Administrator
authority to pay an award to any
person who furnishes information or
services which lead to a criminal
conviction or a civil penalty for any
violation of Title I, III, IV, V, or VI of
the Act enforced under section 113.
Section 113(f) authorizes the
Administrator to prescribe, by
regulation, additional criteria for
eligibility for such an award. EPA
intends that the rule set forth such
additional criteria. The rule also
describes criteria for assessing the value
of information and services when
considering paying an award, and what
is needed to adequately petition the
Administrator for consideration of
payment. The rule will also provide an
assurance of confidentiality to those
who provide information or services on
a confidential basis. Furthermore, to
implement the goal of the program, the
rule will provide direction for
providing information or services to the
Agency.

provides the EPA with the Authority
not to regulate NRC-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.

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

resolved before EPA can make the
requisite legal finding pursuant to

it will not issue the final rescission
until after NRC's program is

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: 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.

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 "12
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.

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)

ABSTRACT CONT: This rule would:
streamline the process for sources to

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.

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

Abstract: The federal On-Board

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: This action would adopt an
alternative testing procedure to be used
in the voluntary aftermarket part
certification program for certifying
aftermarket parts. Currently only the
full Federal Test Procedure and
Emission Critical Parameters for
Specified Parts are acceptable test
procedures for this program. A
proposed rulemaking was published on
August 8, 1989. Based on the public
comments received and further
analysis, EPA developed a
supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking which was published on
January 30, 1991. Analysis of all public
comments are complete and work on
the final rulemaking is under way.

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.

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,

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.

Abstract: These amendments would

in ozone nonattainment areas whose
state implementation plans due
November 15, 1994, have been found
incomplete. These amendments would
also clarify some ambiguous language

have already been articulated in EPA

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
-------
24028
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 88 / Monday, May 8, 1995 / Unified Agenda
EPA—CERCLA
Proposed Rule Stage
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.

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.

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

Final Rule Stage
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
Adm.nistrator 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.

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.

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'Tramework 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,

COMPLIANCE ACT
Priority: Informational
Legal Authority: 42 USC 696l(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.

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.

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

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.

outstripped the ability of these
regulations to cut down on unnecessary
procedures, expedite activities
involving confidential business
information, and simplify the

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY INDEX TO ENTRIES THAT MAY AFFECT
SMALL ENTITIES
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) requires that agencies publish regulatory agendas identifying
those rules that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Agencies
meet that requirement by including the information in their submissions for the Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulations.
The following index lists the regulatory actions that agencies in the Unified Agenda believe may have
effects on small businesses, small governmental jurisdictions, or small organizations. The Sequence Number
(Seq. No.) of the entry identifies the location of the entry in this edition of the Agenda. For further information,

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY INDEX TO ENTRIES THAT MAY AFFECT
GOVERNMENT LEVELS
Executive Order 12866 entitled "Regulatory Planning and Review" (October 4, 1993; 58 FR 51735) directs
agencies to assess the effects of Federal regulations on State, local, and tribal governments. In addition,
Executive Order 12875 entitled "Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership" (October 26, 1993; 58 FR
58093) directs agencies to reduce the imposition of unfunded mandates upon State, local, and tribal govern-
ments. In keeping with these efforts, agencies include in their submissions for the Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulations information on whether their regulatory actions have an effect on various levels of government.
The following index lists the regulatory actions that agencies in the Unified Agenda believe may have
effects on State, local, tribal, or Federal levels of government. The Sequence Number (Seq. No.) of the
entry identifies the location of the entry in this edition of the Agenda. For further information, see the
Regulatory Information Service Center's Introduction to the Unified Agenda in Part II of this issue.
