ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 355
[FRL-5088-9]
Extremely Hazardous Substances List and Threshold Planning
Quantities; Emergency Planning and Release Notification Requirements;
Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Agency published two Appendices to a final regulation at
52 FR 13378 (April 22, 1987). This document corrects errors in
Appendices A and B to 40 CFR Part 355.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 12, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Ferris, Chemical Engineer,
Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office, 5101, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC 20460.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline
can also be contacted at 1-800-535-0202.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency has identified the following
typographical and other technical errors in the Federal Register of
April 22, 1987. The listing of ``paraquat'' in appendices A and B of
Part 355 should read ``paraquat dichloride.'' This change is to be
consistent with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number identified
on the extremely hazardous substances (EHS) list. Paraquat dichloride
is the only commercially available paraquat salt in the United States.
``Phenylthiourma'' in 40 CFR Part 355, Appendix A should read
``phenylthiourea'' (typographical error). The listing of hydrogen
chloride in 40 CFR part 355, Appendix B should read ``hydrogen chloride
(gas only)'' (typographical error). ``Quabain'' in 40 CFR Part 355,
Appendix B should read ``ouabain'' (typographical error).
