ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 372
[OPPTS-400082B; FRL-4929-2]
Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Community Right-to-Know;
Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects seven errors and clarifies one listing
in the final rule published in the Federal Register of November 30,
1994, in which EPA promulgated the addition of 286 chemicals and
chemical categories to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986. Five of the errors are
typographical errors, two for the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
registry numbers for isophorone diisocyanate and metribuzin and three
for the spelling of the chemical names for acifluorfen, sodium salt,
dicamba, and 4-methyldiphenylmethane-3,4-diisocyanate. The sixth
correction is to remove the listing for flumetralin, which the Agency
has deferred for listing, from the CAS order list in the regulations.
The seventh correction is an editing error in the chemical formula for
the polychlorinated alkanes category. In addition, EPA is clarifying
the listing for the polychlorinated alkanes category. This document
corrects these errors and makes the above referenced clarification.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This document is effective March 10, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. CAS Number Corrections
In the Federal Register of November 30, 1994 (59 FR 61432), EPA
issued the final rule adding chemicals to the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313 list of toxic
chemicals. The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number for isophorone
diisocyanate was incorrectly published as ``004098-71-0'' in the
preamble on: (1) Page 61436, second column of the table, seventh entry,
(2) page 61454, second column, eighth line from the bottom, and (3) in
the regulatory text, Sec. 372.65(c), on page 61484, 11th entry under
the diisocyanates category. The correct CAS number for isophorone
diisocyanate is ``004098-71-9''. In addition, the CAS number for
metribuzin was incorrectly published in the preamble as ``021087-64-5''
on page 61437, second column of the table, 26th entry, and in the
regulatory text, Sec. 372.65(a), as ``21087-64-5'' on page 61477,
second column of the table, ninth entry, and page 61483, first column
of the table, 26th entry. The correct CAS number is ``21087-64-9''.
The chemical name for acifluorfen, sodium salt was spelled
incorrectly in the preamble as ``[5-(2-Chloro-4-
(triflouromethyl)phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid, sodium salt]'' on: (1)
Page 61434, first column of the table, third entry, and (2) in the
regulatory text, Sec. 372.65(a), page 61473, first column of the table,
third entry, and Sec. 372.65(b), page 61484, second column of the
table, 12th entry. The correct spelling is ``acifluorfen, sodium salt
[5-(2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid, sodium
salt]''.
The chemical name for dicamba was incorrectly spelled in the
preamble as ``(3,6-Dichloro-2-methyoxybenzoic acid)'' on: (1) Page
61435, first column of the table, 38th entry, and (2) in the regulatory
text, Sec. 372.65(a), page 61475, first column of the table, 12th
entry, and Sec. 372.65(b), page 61482, second column of the table, 13th
entry. The correct spelling is ``dicamba (3,6-Dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic
acid)''.
In the regulatory text, Sec. 372.65(c), page 61484, first column,
the 12th entry under the diisocyanates category was incorrectly listed
as ``4-methyldiphenylmethane-3,4-diisocyante''. The correct spelling is
``4-methyldiphenylmethane-3,4-diisocyanate''.
II. Chemical Listing Corrections and Clarification
Also in the Federal Register of November 30, 1994 (59 FR 61432),
the chemical flumetralin was listed in the regulatory text,
Sec. 372.65(b), on page 61484. EPA did not finalize the addition of
flumetralin in this rulemaking and it should not be listed in the
regulations. Therefore, EPA is removing the entry for flumetralin from
Sec. 372.65(b). EPA has deferred final action on the listing of
flumetralin under EPCRA section 313 until a later date (see 59 FR
61439). [[Page 13048]]
The chemical formula for the polychlorinated alkanes category was
shown as ``CxH2x-yCly'' in: (1) The preamble on page
61463, second column, first full paragraph, line seven, and (2) the
regulatory text, Sec. 372.65(c), on page 61485, column one of the
table, first entry. The correct formula for the polychlorinated alkanes
category is ``CxH2x-y+2Cly''. EPA is also clarifying the
listing for the polychlorinated alkanes category. The listing for this
category is changed to ``polychlorinated alkanes (C10 to
C13)''. This clarification is intended to provide more consistency
between the name of the category and the chemical formula. All other
information pertinent to this category is correct in the final rule.
