Abstract
On November 12, 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed to delete phosmet from the list of extremely hazardous substances (EHS) issued under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). Today, EPA is taking final action to delete phosmet from the EHS list. Facilities with phosmet on-site will no longer be required to comply with emergency planning and emergency release notification requirements. In addition, facilities handling phosmet will no longer have to file an emergency and hazardous chemical inventory form and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for phosmet with their State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and local fire department, for amounts less than 10,000 pounds.
