Second Quarter FY 1987 Report
PREFACE
This quarterly report reviews Agency progress in meeting its priority
program commitments. The report is a major component of the Agency
Strategic Planning and Management System (SPMS). SPMS provides a
process for the Agency to identify national goals and priorities,
issue timely guidance to the field, identify measures of success and
track progress against them. Each quarter the Office of Management
Systems and Evaluation publishes the report using information provided
by Headquarters, regional offices and state agencies. The Office of
Compliance Analysis and Program Operations is responsible for the
enforcement sections of this report.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of the many
people throughout the environmental protection management network who
have made timely production of this report possible.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
O SIP PROCESSING RATES FOR THE REGIONS REMAIN HIGH WHILE HEADQUARTER'S
SIP BACKLOG GROWS. HQ PROCESSING RATES FOR BOTH NEW AND CARRYOVER
SIPS FALL BELOW 50 PERCENT AND THE HQ SIP BACKLOG NOW EXCEEDS 100
SIPS.
O THE REGIONS HAVE MET 158 (ABOUT 90%) OF THE TARGET DATES FOR THE
STATE SUBMITTAL AND EPA PROCESSING OF HIGH PRIORITY DEFICIENT SIPS.
ALTHOUGH PROGRESS IS GOOD, ABOUT 70% OF THE ANNUAL TARGET DATES ARK
DUE IN THE LAST TWO QUARTERS.
o STATES AND LOCAL AGENCIES SUBMITTED 62 AIR TOXICS MULTI-YEAR
DEVELOPMENT PLANS DURING LATE FY 86 AND EARLY FY 87. OAR'AND THE
REGIONS STILL NEED TO REACH FINAL AGREEMENT ON THE ADEQUACY OF THESE
PLANS AND NEGOTIATE THE DESIRED CHANGES WITH THE STATES. OAR
INDICATES THAT THEIR MAJOR FOCUS MAY BE TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE URBAN
WORK PLANS.
o THE REGIONS COLLECTIVELY EXCEEDED THEIR FIXED BASED SIGNIFICANT
VIOLATOR TARGET BY ADDRESSING 195 (153 TARGETED) IN THE SECOND
QUARTER. THEY ALSO IDENTIFIED 285 NEW SIGNIFICANT VIOLATORS OF WHICH
50 (17%) HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.
o NSPS AND NESHAP COMPLIANCE RATES FOR FEDERAL FACILITIES HAVE DECLINED
DURING FY 1987 FROM 100% AND 81% TO 80% AND 73% RESPECTIVELY.

ACTIONS ON HIGH PRIORITY DEFICIENT SIPs
o IN THE SECOND QUARTER, 91 OF THE 470 MILESTONES WERE DUE TO BE
ACCOMPLISHED BY THE REGIONS AND STATES.
- THE REGIONS MET 75 OF THE 91."DUE" TARGET DATES (82%) FOR A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL OF 153 OUT OF 175 (87%).
- THE REGIONS COMPLETED A TOTAL OF 158 TARGET DATES (90% OF TARGET)
BY COMPLETING FIVE WHICH WERE DUE AFTER THE SECOND QUARTER.
REGIONS III, IV AND VI MET 100% OF TARGET.
o OAR's ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND QUARTER PERFORMANCE CONCLUDED:
"TO SUMMARIZE, OF THE 22 TARGETS MISSED BY THE END OF THE SECOND
QUARTER, 14 WERE STATE SUBMITTALS DUE IN THE REGIONAL OFFICES,
TWO WERE NPR PACKAGES DUE AT OAQPS AND SIX WERE NFR PACKAGES
DUE AT OAQPS.
SIX OF THE 22 TARGETS WERE DUE AND MISSED IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
TWO OF THE SIX REGIONAL OFFICE NFR SUBMITTALS WERE LATE DUE TO
HEADQUARTERS DELAY IN NPR PUBLICATION. OAR REPORTS THAT THE
MOST DIFFICULT TARGET TO MEET IS THE STATE SUBMITTAL AND THAT
' , THE KIND OF SIP (POLLUTANT) DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO
THE NUMBER OF TARGETS MISSED."

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (USTs) IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IN APRIL
EPA PUBLISHED PROPOSED RULES WHICH COVERED ESTABLISHMENT OF FEDERALLY
APPROVED STATE UST PROGRAMS, TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOP. TANKS, AND
FINAMCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TANK OWNERS.
ENFORCEMENT OF INTERIM PROHIBITION
o DURING THE FIRST HALF OF FY 1987, 1,135 TANKS WERE DETERMINED TO BE
IN VIOLATION OF PROVISIONS OF THE INTERIM PROHIBITION. 1,044, OR
98%, OF THE VIOLATORS WERE IDENTIFIED BY STATES IN REGION IV AND
REGION VIII. 187 VIOLATING TANKS (119 IN SOUTH CAROLINA) HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. THE INTERIM PROHIBITION IS EXPECTED TO END

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS STATE PROGRAMS
o IN THE FIRST QUARTER, STATES ESTIMATED THAT, NATIONWIDE, ABOUT
2.3 MILLION UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (USTs) PALL UNDER REQUIREMENTS

ONLY 10 HAVE LAWS AND DRAFT REGULATIONS WHICH MAY PROVIDE FOR A
FEDERALLY APPROVED PROGRAM.
O SIX STATES HAVE A LAW OR DRAFT REGS BUT HAVE NO UST PROGRAM IN PLACR.
THESE STATES HAVE AN ESTIMATED 121,000 TANKS, OR 5% OF THE NATIONAL

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
O OPTS DID WELL DURING THE SECOND QUARTER, NEARLY MEETING OR EXCEEDING
MOST OF ITS CUMULATIVE TARGETS IN BOTH THE PESTICIDES AND TOXIC
SUBSTANCES PROGRAMS. CUMULATIVE TARGETS WERE NOT MET FOR PESTICIDE
REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS, TOLERANCE PETITIONS, OR EXISTING CHEMICALS'
TESTING ACTIONS.
o BACKLOGS INCREASED FOR 3 OF THE 4 CATEGORIES OF PESTICIDE REGISTRATION
APPLICATIONS, AND EMERGENCY EXEMPTIONS. THE BACKLOG OF PESTICIDE
TOLERANCE PETITION APPLICATIONS DECREASED.
o THE ASBESTOS ACTION PROGRAM EXCEEDED ALL OF ITS TARGETS. THE NUMBER
OF HAZARD REDUCTIONS FOR PRIORITY #1 PROJECTS (UNFUNDED BY 1986
ASHAA) HAS ALREADY EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF REDUCTIONS TARGETED FOR
THE END OF FY 1987.
O THE STATES EXCEEDED THEIR FIFRA INSPECTION COMMITMENTS. OTHER
PESTICIDE ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES ARE BELOW LEVELS OF A YEAR AGO.
o THE REGIONS AND STATES HAVE GENERALLY MET SECOND QUARTER TSCA
INSPECTION TARGETS. TSCA ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ARE
ABOVE LEVELS OF A YEAR AGO.

PESTICIDE DATA CALL-IN
o THE DATA CALL-IN ACTIVITY WAS RESTRUCTURED TO BECOME A PART OF THE

CALL-IN NOTICES (TOXICOLOGY AND EXPOSURE DATA) FOR 304 ANTI-MICROBIAL
CHEMICALS, WHICH EXCEEDS THE END-OF-YEAR TARGET OF 50 BY 600%.
o A GENERIC DATA EXEMPTION CALL-IN WAS ALSO ISSUED TO APPROXIMATELY
6,200 REGISTRANTS TO ESTABLISH WHICH FIRMS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS) WERE ISSUED FOR PENTACHLORONITROBENZENE, DODINE,
PROPHAM, PROMETRYN, DICHLOBENIL, PHENMEDIPHAM, VENDEX, AND METHIOCARB
(MERUROL). THESE EIGHT STANDARDS COVER 382 PESTICIDE PRODUCTS AND
APPROXIMATELY 0.4% OF THE PESTICIDES USED IN THE UNITED STATES.
o SINCE THE PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1980, OPTS HAS ISSUED REGISTRATION
STANDARDS COVERING:
10,333 PESTICIDE PRODUCTS OUT OF A UNIVERSE OF APPROXIMATELY 45,000,
81.3% OF THE PESTICIDES USED (BY VOLUME) IN THE UNITED STATES.

MEASURE BEGAN THIS QUARTER.
o A RS ENTERS PRE-STAGE 1 WHEN IT HAS BEEN SIGNED AND REMAINS THERE
UNTIL ALL REGISTRANT RESPONSES HAVE BEEN PROCESSED.
EtGHT RSs ENTERED PRE-STAGE 1 DURING THE SECOND QUARTER, AGAINST A
QUARTERLY TARGET OF SIX. 67 RSs ARE IN THE PRE-STAGE 1 BASELINE,
AS OF 3/31/87.
o ST/^ILI IS REACHED WHEN COMMITMENTS FOR ALL OF THE GENERIC DATA
REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND THERE ARE NO OVERDUE GENERIC DATA
REQUIREMENTS, OR ACTION HAS BEEN INITIATED TO REMOVE PRODUCTS OR
UNSUPPORTED USES OF THE CHEMICAL FROM THE MARKETPLACE.
G THE SECOND QUARTER, OPTS MET ITS TARGET, WITH FOUR RSS REACHING
1 (2: COMMITMENTS MADE, 1: PRODUCTS SUSPENDED, 1: PRODUCTS
CANCELLED). 68 RSs ARE IN STAGE 1 BASELINE, AS OF 3/31/87.
o STAGE 2 IS REACHED WHEN ALL DATA TO FULFILL GENERIC DATA COMMITMENTS
HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
DURING THE SECOND QUARTER, ONE CHEMICAL REACHED STAGE 2, MEETING ITS
END-OF-YEAR TARGET. 17 RSs ARE IN STAGE 2 BASELINE, AS OF 3/31/87.
o STAGE 3 IS REACHED WHEN ALL STUDIES HAVE BF.EN SUBMITTED, REVIEWED, AND
ACCEPTED, AND A FINAL REGULATORY POSITION (FINAL REGULATORY STANDARD
AND TOLERANCE REASSESSMENT - FRSTR) ON THE CHEMICAL HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED.
THE COMPLETION OF A FRSTR DURING FY 1987 IS NOT TARGETED UNTIL THE
