In this final rule, RSPA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by revising the "List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities" that appears in Appendix A, "Hazardous Substances other than Radionuclides," to the Hazardous Materials Table. This action is necessary to comply with the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, which amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA) to mandate that RSPA regulate, under the HMR, all hazardous substances designed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) No notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) has preceded this final rule because, in light of RSPA's lack of discretion concerning the regulation of hazardous substances under the HMR, RSPA finds that under the Administrative Procedure Act notice would serve no purpose and thus is unnecessary.
