| 98-34835 | Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxic (PBT) Chemicals; Lowering of Reporting Thresholds for Certain PBT Chemicals; Addition of Certain PBT Chemicals; Amendments to Proposed Addition of a Dioxin and Dioxin-Like Compounds Category; Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Community Right- to-Know | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to lower the reporting thresholds for certain persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals that are subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). EPA is also proposing lower reporting thresholds for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, which were previously proposed for addition to the EPCRA section 313 list of toxic chemicals. EPA is proposing these actions pursuant to its authority under EPCRA section 313(f)(2) to revise reporting thresholds. In addition, EPA is proposing to add certain persistent and bioaccumulative toxic chemicals to the list of chemicals subject to the reporting under EPCRA section 313 and PPA section 6607 and to establish lower reporting thresholds for these chemicals. EPA is proposing to add these chemicals to the EPCRA section 313 list pursuant to its authority to add chemicals and chemical categories that meet the EPCRA section 313(d)(2) toxicity criteria. The proposed additions of these chemicals are based on their carcinogenicity or other chronic human health effects and/or their adverse effects on the environment. As part of today's actions, EPA is amending its proposal published in the Federal Register of May 7, 1997, to add a category of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds to the EPCRA section 313 list of toxic chemicals by proposing to exclude the co- planar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the category and by proposing to add an activity qualifier to the category. EPA is also proposing to require that separate reports be filed for tetraethyl lead and tetramethyl lead which are listed under the lead compounds category. Today's actions also include proposed modifications to certain reporting exemptions and requirements for those toxic chemicals that would be subject to the lower reporting thresholds. | 1999-01-05 | 1999 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/01/05/98-34835/persistent-bioaccumulative-toxic-pbt-chemicals-lowering-of-reporting-thresholds-for-certain-pbt | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-01-05/pdf/98-34835.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to lower the reporting thresholds for certain persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals that are subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the... |
