Preliminary Assessment Information Reporting Rule and Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule; Revision of Effective Dates
This document is revising the effective date of two rules published in the Federal Register of August 16, 2006: The Preliminary Assessment Information Reporting Rule (PAIR) and the Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule because of the relocation of the dockets for these two rules. Structural damage to the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) caused by flooding in June 2006 necessitated the relocation of the EPA/DC. Although the EPA/DC is continuing operations, the relocation of EPA/DC and resumption of normal operations has taken place during the period that withdrawal requests for removal of chemicals from these two rules would be arriving; therefore, EPA has decided that the effective dates for these two rules will be revised to ensure that all requests that were submitted to EPA by August 30, 2006, for withdrawal of chemicals listed in these two rules have been accounted for and addressed.
