| 99-12937 | Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7); Amendments to the Worst-Case Release Scenario Analysis for Flammable Substances | Proposed Rule | EPA is planning to amend the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, codified in 40 CFR part 68. The revisions concern the worst-case release scenario analysis for regulated flammable substances, 40 CFR 68.25. These revisions would allow the regulated community to treat regulated flammable substances in the same manner as regulated toxic substances for determining the quantity released when conducting a worst-case release scenario. Elsewhere in the Final Rule section of today's Federal Register, EPA is issuing these revisions as a direct final rule. EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment. A detailed rationale for this revision is in the preamble to the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further action is needed on this notice. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. This action implements a settlement agreement between EPA and the American Petroleum Institute. As a result of a settlement agreement with the Chlorine Institute, EPA is clarifying its interpretation of Clean Air Act sections 112(l) and 112(r)(11), as they relate to Department of Transportation requirements under the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law. | 1999-05-26 | 1999 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1999/05/26/99-12937/accidental-release-prevention-requirements-risk-management-programs-under-clean-air-act-section | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1999-05-26/pdf/99-12937.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is planning to amend the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, codified in 40 CFR part 68.
