Environmental Protection Agency Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR); Source Selection and Payments
Document Number: 2015-08665
Type: Rule
Date: 2015-04-15
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) amends the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) to remove source selection guidance and clauses that are not consistent with current EPA internal operating procedures for source selections. Additionally, EPA is deleting a clause for PaymentsFixed Rate Services Contracts because it is inconsistent with sections in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Addition of 1-Bromopropane; Community Right-To-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting
Document Number: 2015-08664
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-04-15
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to add 1-bromopropane to the list of toxic chemicals subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 1990. 1-Bromopropane has been classified by the National Toxicology Program in their 13th Report on Carcinogens as ``reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.'' EPA believes that 1- bromopropane meets the EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) criteria because it can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in humans. Based on a review of the available production and use information, 1-bromopropane is expected to be manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in quantities that would exceed the EPCRA section 313 reporting thresholds.
