Toxics Release Inventory: List of Toxic Chemicals within the Glycol EthersCategory

摘要

On June 28, 1994, EPA promulgated a final rule (published in the Federal RegisterJuly 5, 1994) modifying the definition of the glycol ethers category on the list of toxic chemicals under Section 313. The effect of the modification, which is described at 59 FR 34386, is that many high molecular weight glycol ethers were excluded from the category. As part of the modification and as the result of public comment, EPA changed the category name at 40 CFR 372.65(c) from 'glycol ethers' to 'certain glycol ethers'. At the time of the modification, EPA indicated that the Agency would work with the public and the related community to develop, as appropriate, interpretations and guidance that the Agency determines are necessary to facilitate accurate reporting for the modified glycol ethers category. The document constitutes such guidance.
