EPA Tracking Report: Rules Affecting Small Entities
Overview
It is EPA’s policy to reach out to small entities 1 on each rule that may affect them. In
order to promote and reinforce that policy, the Agency created this report to track rules of
particular interest to small entities (i.e., rules with the potential to affect them). This report also
tracks the status of rules which may be subject to certain procedural requirements under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act (SBREFA). Under RFNSBREFA, the Agency must prepare a formal analysis of
the potential negative impacts on small entities, convene a Small Business Advocacy Review
Panel 2 (proposed rule stage), and prepare a Small Entity Compliance Guide (final rule stage)
unless the Agency certifies a rule will flot have a ignificant economic Impact on a ubstantial
number of small entities (SISNOSE).
This report is divided into five parts. Part 1 lists all planned proposed rules that the
Agency believes at this time have the potential to affect small entities. Part 2 identifies the rules
listed in Part 1 for which the Agency may convene a Small Business Advocacy Review (SBAR)
Panel. Part 3 lists the proposed rules for which EPA has completed a SBAR Panel. Part 4 lists
rules for which the Agency may prepare a Small Entity Compliance Guide. Lastly, Part 5 lists
those final rules for which EPA has completed compliance guides. Please note that Parts 2 and
4 of this report do not represent a commitment by the Agency to either convene SBAR Panels
or prepare Small Entity Compliance Guides for listed rules. Instead, the lists represent the
Agency’s initial assessment as to which rules under development may have the potential to
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, thereby requiring an initial or
final regulatory flexibility analysis. However, during the development of a rule, further outreach,
analysis, and modifications to the rule may affect the initial defermination. In some cases, if the
Agency later determines that the rule will have a SISNOSE, the Agency will certify the rule
and the rule will be removed from certain parts of this report. A no SISNOSE decision can be
made at any point in the rulemaking process and the timing could, therefore, preclude the need
for a Panel, the preparation of a Compliance Guide, or both.
Part 1 : Planned Proposed Rules of Interest to Small Entities
Part I of this report is a complete list of pre-proposal rules which may affect small
entities. It is important to note that this list includes ii Of EPA’s planned proposed rules that
may affect small entities and, therefore, it includes rules to which small entities are not directly
subject, as well as rules that may have either beneficial or adverse effects for small entities
Whether or not the rule is subject to the RFA/SBREFA’s full range of administrative procedures,
it is EPA’s policy to consult with affected small entities on each rule that imposes j y level of
impact on j y number of small entities. This policy is based on our history of concern and
specific consideration for small entities in our regulatory actions and is the cornerstone of
implementing the RFA’s principles for small entity flexibility.
1 SmaiI entities includes small bysinesses, small governments, and smaii not-for-profit organizations
2 RFAJSBREFA refers to the paneis, as Smali Business Advocacy Review Panelg”, but SBAR Paneis must
consider impacts on alitypes of small entities subject to the ruie.

-------
Part 2 : Planned Proposed Rules which may include a SBAR Panel
Part 2 of this report lists planned proposed rules for which the Agency has not yet
concluded whether it can certify that the rule will not have a “significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.” Unless the Agency so certifies, RFNSBREFA requires
that the Agency convene SBAR Panels to formally obtain advice and consider
recommendations from “individuals representative of affected small entities” about the potential
impacts. RFA/SBREFA, through the SBAR Panel process, facilitates small entity participation
in the rulemaking process and provides small entities with a special forum to participate in
rulemakings of concern at a particularly apt point in the process: while the Agency is still
considering regulatory options for proposal. The Panel ensures that small entities directly
subject to a planned rule have an opportunity to express their concerns on the potential impacts
of the rule, as well as providing input on options under consideration. As mentioned above, the
RFNSBREFA Panel requirement applies to any proposed rule for which notice and comment is
required under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute, unless the Administrator
certifies the rule will not have a SISNOSE under section 605(b) of the RFA.
Typically, when an EPA program office initiates work on a rule, Agency staff initiate
discussions and gather information from representatives of the affected interests, including
small entities. It is difficult at this stage in the rulemaking process to know how the rule
ultimately will affect small entities. However, if the Agency believes the impacton small entities
that are subject to the rule may be more than incidental, we list the rule in this part of the report
as an action that deserves particular attention and which may require an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis and a RFNSBREFA SBAR Panel.
As part of the SBAR Panel process, EPA works with the Small Business Administration
(SBA). When our early screening analysis indicates a Panel may be appropriate, the Agency
informally notifies the SBA of our intention to prepare for a SBAR Panel for that rule. EPA also
sends to SBA general information about the rule and its potential impacts. This advance notice
alerts SBA that we will likely request their suggestions for small entity representatives for the
SBAR Panel process. If it continues to appear that a Panel may be convened, we then formally
notify SBA of our intent to convene a Panel. The Office of Management and Budget COMB) is
also provided with a courtesy copy of this notification. Along with the formal notification, we
transmit a statement of the problem the rule is trying to address, a description of the types of
small entities affected, a list of small entity representatives already identified, and materials
already shared with small entity representatives. Remember that in most cases the Agency
already has been working with small entities at this stage, so this step often just confirms and
sometimes expands the list of small entity representatives with whom we have been
communicating.
The Agency’s small entity outreach prior to convening a Panel culminates in the
development ofa summary document that contains information on the potential impact of a
proposed rule on small entities, and particularly on the several RFA issues referenced in
section 609. This summary serves as the basis for convening a SBAR Panel, which is
composed of senior officials from the 0MB, SBA and EPA. The-Panel then conducts its review,
carries out additional small entity outreach, and prepares a final report based on the comments
from the small entity representatives and the Panel’s deliberations. The Panel report becomes
part of the rulemaking record. The SBAR Panel process is only part of EPA’s commitment to
stakeholder involvement; the Agency continues working with small entities and other interested
stakeholders throughout the development of the rule.
However, to reiterate, at any point in the proposed rule development process, the,

-------
Agency -- through new information, additional analyses, or regulatory accommodations -- may
determine that a rule will not have a SISNOSE, remove the rule from this part of the report, and
certify the proposed rule.
Part 3 : Proposed Rules with Completed SBAR Panels
According to the statute, no later that 60 days after EPA convenes a SBAR Panel, the
Panel is to report on the comments of the small entity representatives and the Panel’s findings
with regard to the issues related to the elements of an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. The
Panel report is included in the rulemaking record. Part 3 of this report lists rules for which
SBAR Panels were convened and for each rule includes three dates: 1) Panel convening, 2)
Panel Report signing, and 3) publication of the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM).
Part 4 : Planned Final Rules which may include Small Entity Compliance Guides
Part 4 identifies planned final rules that may include Small Entity Compliance Guides.
This includes regulations: 1) proposed before the 1996 Amendments to the RFA and, therefore,
are not associated with the SBAR Panel process and, 2) regulations not certified as having no
SISNOSE for which a SBAR Panel was convened. When the Agency prepares a regulatory
flexibility analysis for a final rule (i.e., does not certify that the rule will not have a SISNOSE),
SBREFA requires that “the agency shall publish one or more guides to assist small entities in
complying with the rule, and shall designate such publications as ‘small entity compliance
guides.” The guides must explain the actions a small entity is required to take to comply with a
rule or group of rules and be “written using sufficiently plain language likely to be understood by
affected small entities.” It is anticipated that Compliance Guides will be prepared for each of
the regulations listed in Part 4. However, as with the SBAR Panel requirement, if the Agency
determines that it can certify that a final rule will not have a SISNOSE, then the Compliance
Guide requirement does not apply.
Part 5 : Final Rules with Completed Compliance Guides
This section lists rules for which Small Entity Compliance Guides were prepared and for
each rule includes two dates. 1) final rule publication and 2) issuance of compliance guide. A
copy of a completed compliance guide may be obtained by contacting EPA’s Regulatory
Management Division at 202-260-5480

Control of Emissions of Air Pollution from New Marine Diesel
Engines at or above 37 Kilowatts: The ANPRM notifies and invites
comments from the public on EPA’s plans to propose stringent standards for
control of emissions of oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter
from diesel marine engines at or above 37 kilowatts. The ANPRM contains a
broad outline of EPA’s plans for defining a national emission control program for
these engines, including engine categories to be covered, emission standard
levels being considered, and potential compliance programs Results of a
Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Emission Study conducted by EPA indicated the
need for regulation of categories or classes of new nonroad engines and
vehicles that are significant contributors to ozone or CO in NAAQS
nonattainment areas Such a finding led to control of emissions from various
nonroad sources This action outlines a strategy to control emissions from one
nonroad source diesel marine engines If the emission control program
discussed in the ANPRM is imptemented, EPA would expect to see NOx and
PM reductions comparable to their land-based counterparts on a per engine
basis, for marine engines which are derivatives of land-based engines (Agency

Title I Abstract
Tier 2 Light-Duty Vehicle and Light-Duty Truck Emission
Standards, Heavy-Duty Gasoline Engine Standards, and Gasoline
Sulfur Standards: This rulemaking will propose the next generation of
emission standards for light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks The primary
focus of this action will be reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and non-
methane hydrocarbons, pollutants which contribute to ozone pollution. Highway
vehicles are significant contributors to ozone pollution, though tighter standards
will also have additional air quality benefits. These standards cannot go into
effect before the 2004 model year, as per Clean Air Act requirements. The
rulemaking will also propose limitations on the sulfur content of gasoline
available nationwide Sulfur has a detrimental impact on catalyst performance
and could be a limiting factor in the introduction of advanced technologies on
motor vehicles. EPA set forth many of the issues associated with this
rulemaking in the Tier 2 Report to Congress (Agency Contact Tad Wysor 734-
2 14-4332)
Industrial Combustion Coordinated Rulemaking (ICCR): This
rulemaking sets standards for air emissions from industrial combustion sources
in the following industries: combustion,turbines. stationary internal combustion
engines, industrial! commercial I institutional boilers, process heaters, and solid
waste incinerators burning non-hazardous waste These sources are
widespread one or more of these sources are located at virtually every
manufacturing and chemical plant in the United States Moreover, this
rulemaking sets air standards both for hazardous air pollutants and for “criteria”
pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organics. There
us likely to be regulatory interaction among these industries and among the
various standards, since a given plant site is likely to contain several of these
source categories, and because any one source is likely to be subject to more
than one type of standard. Therefore, the Agency is undertaking a coordinated
rulemaking, with all the standards for all the sources proceeding together in a
common rule development. Early and continuing stakeholder involvement is
being sought in order to give stakeholders the opportunity to help shape rule
development toward greater simplicity and cost-effectiveness, avoidance of
duplicative or conflicting rules, more compliance flexibility, and an improved
scientific basis (Agency Contact Amanda Agnew, 919-541-5268)

TRI Program; Data Expansion Amendment (aka Phase 3): Under
EPCRA §313, the original TRI required reporting from manufacturing facilities
on the releases and transfers of toxic chemicals and wastes including waste
treatment and disposal methods Information on waste management practices,
including recycling, energy recovery, and source reduction activities, were
added to TRI pursuant to the PPA of 1990. Congress, in enacting EPCRA,
directed the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to study the issue of
collecting mass balance/materials accounting information NAS recommended
that the issue merited further analysis. EPA is currently considering whether
additional data elements related to a mass balance/materials accounting
program should be considered for incorporation into the TRI database. The
additionai data elements included for consideration includeS quantity brought on
site, quantity produced on site, quantity consumed on site; quantities
manufactured, processed or otherwise used, quantity contained in or as
product, quantity stored on site as waste, and beginning and ending raw
materials inventory An ANPRM was issued to get preliminary thoughts on this.

Pesticide Management and Disposal; Standards for Pesticide
Containers and Containment; Supplemental Proposed Rule: The
1988 amendments to FIFRA section 19 significantly expanded and
strengthened EPA’s authority to regulate the management of pesticides and
their containers,including storage, transportation and disposal. As proposed,
this rule would establish standards for removal of pesticides from containers
and for rinsing containers; facilitate the safe use, refill, reuse, and disposal of
pesticide containers by establishing standards for container design, labeling
and refilling, and establish requirements for containment of stationary bulk
containers and for containment of pesticide dispensing areas. This action is a
supplement to the original NPRM, which was issued on 2/11/94 (59 FR 6712)
EPA is seeking additional comment on a few streamlining changes to the
proposed requirements, as well as the definition of “small entity” used for the
regulatory flexibility analysis presented with the original proposed rule. (Agency

Antimicrobial Pesticide Registration Reform Proposed Rule: This
regulation will specify anitmicrobial registration reforms that witl reduce to the
extent possible the review time for antimicrobial pesticides. The regulation will
clarity criteria for completeness of applications, and will specify or refer to a
definition of the various classes of antimicrobial pesticide use patterns and the
associated data and labeling requirements that would be consistent with the
degree and type of risk presented by each class. EPA will evaluate the
feasibility and cost-effectiveness of various registration process reforms,
including registrant certification, and expansion of the current notification
procedures. This regu’ation will also implement some general provisions of
FIFRA pertaining to all pesticides, including labeling requirements and
notification procedures (Agency Contact Angela Hofmann, 202-260-2922 )
Fees for Accreditation and Certification of Lead-Based Paint
Activities; Procedure for Modification of Commencement of Lead-
Based Paint Abatement Activities: This rule is mandated by section
402(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the purpose of
implementing a fee schedule for lead-based paint activities that were addressed
in the TSCA section 402 rule finalized on August 28, 1996, which appears at 40
CFR Part 745. The fee schedule will establish a framework for states to
process applications for training providers of lead-based paint training courses
and for certification of workers engaged in lead-based paint activities in the five
disciplines delineated in the section 402 rule Regarding the anticipated impact
on small business. section 402(a) does not requir or mandate the abatement
of lead-based paint, nor require that any particular enterprise participate in the
lead-based paint field However, if firms choose to participate, compliance costs
consist of two components that may impact small businesses: (1) accreditation
and training costs for workers and supervisors, as well as certification fees that
this rule will establish, and (2) incremental costs of work practice standards for
abatement procedures EPA is also proposing a procedure for notification to
the Agency of the commencement of LBP activities in residential dwellings or
child occupied facilities or as a result of Federal, state or local order. (Agency

and Remodeling: 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. 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. (Agency Contact: Angela Hofmann, 202-260-2922)

WPS; Pesticide Worker Protection Standards; Pesticide Hazard
Communication: In 1992, EPA proposed to require the provision of hazard
information to agricultural workers covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
The requirements as proposed were designed to be substantially equivalent to
the Hazard Communication Standard promulgated by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration. Specific hazard information would be made available
to agncultural workers and pesticide handlers concerning the pesticides to
which they are exposed EPA is reconsidering the specifics of the proposal to
simplify and streamline this requirement During 1998, EPA plans to hold

Revision of NPDES Industrial Permit Application Form and
Regulations: Under the proposed rule, all existing manufacturing,
commercial, mining, and silvicultural operations would be required to submit the
proposed revised application in order to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The existing form has not been revised
since 1984 and must be updated to reflect statutory and regulatory changes in
the NPDES program, advances in scientific methods, and an increased
emphasis on toxics control. Under the proposal, whole effluent toxicity (WET)
testing would be required of all major dischargers and on a case-by-case basis
for minor dischargers The revised form would streamline data and information
collection by (1) consolidating the information currently required in Forms 1
(General Information) and 2C (Wastewater Discharge Information), (2) deleting
certain pollutant parameters from the application, and (3) allowing electronic
transfer of application data to the Agency. The revised regulation would also
clarify issues regarding which pollutants are authorized to be discharged by the
permit and therefore shielded from enforcement actions
(Agency Contact: Cynthia Puskar, 202-260-8532) -
Long Term I Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule: The 1996
amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) require EPA to establish
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for contaminants that may have an
adverse public health effect and that present a meaningful opportunity for health
risk reduction. The Agency’s goal in the Lii ESWTR is to reduce the risk from
microbial contaminants in public surface water systems that serve 10,000
people or less In order to accomplish this, the rule will focus on turbidity
reduction through filtration optimization, and continued microbial protection
through the disinfection benchmark (i e a measurement of current Giardia
inactivation) In November 1998, EPA will promulgate an Interim Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) , which focuses on these same public
health goals and is applicable to public surface water systems serving greater
than 10,000 people. Also, like the IESWTR, the LT1ESWTR will reflect the
fundamental principle that new standards for control of disinfection byproducts
(I e compliance with the Stage I DBP rule) must not result in significant
increases in microbial risk. To develop the LT1 ESWTR. EPA will use the
template of the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) as
a starting point. EPA will then determine if the unit costs and principles for
reduction in turbidity used to develop the IESWTR will be appropriate for the
LT1 ESWTR (Agency Contact Cynthia Puskar, 202-260-8532)
