Environmental Protection Agency February 17, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA is taking direct final action to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) regulations by adding the following four chemical substances to the list of chemical substances in Sec. 710.46(b)(2)(iv) which are exempt from reporting processing and use information required by Sec. 710.52(c)(4): Two vegetable-based oils (fats and glyceridic oils, vegetable (CASRN 68956-68-3) and canola oil (CASRN 120962-03-0)), soybean meal (CASRN 68308-36-1), and xylitol (CASRN 87-99-0). EPA has determined that the IUR processing and use information for these chemicals is of low current interest. Manufacturers and importers of the chemicals listed in Sec. 710.46(b)(2)(iv) must continue to report manufacturing information.

This document announces that the EPA Administrator has responded to a joint citizen petition asking EPA to object to the operating permit issued to Camden County Energy Recovery Associates (CCERA) by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Specifically, the Administrator has partially granted and partially denied the petition submitted by the Rutgers Environmental Law Clinic on behalf of various New Jersey Environmental Groups to object to the CCERA State operating permit. Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Act), Petitioner may seek judicial review of those portions of the petition which EPA denied in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit. Any petition for review shall be filed within 60 days from the date this notice appears in the Federal Register, pursuant to section 307 of the Act.
