EPA Adds 16 Carcinogens to EPCRA Section 313 List of Toxic Chemicals

摘要

Under EPCRA Section 313, facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use certain toxic chemicals in excess of specified threshold quantities must annually report environmental releases of the chemicals. The data must be provided annually on a toxics release inventory (TRI) reporting form (e.g., Form R). On November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72727-72734), EPA added 16 chemicals to the list of toxic chemicals that are subject to Section 313 reporting requirements. EPA believes that the chemicals meet the EPCRA Section 313(d)(2)(B) criteria for listing because they can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in humans.
