Abstract
EPA is lowering the reporting thresholds for lead and lead compounds which are subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). The reporting thresholds are being lowered to 100 pounds. The lower reporting thresholds apply to lead and all lead compounds except for lead contained in stainless steel, brass, and bronze alloys. EPA is taking these actions pursuant to its authority under EPCRA section 313(f)(2) to revise reporting thresholds. Today's actions also include modifications to certain reporting exemptions and requirements for lead and lead compounds.
