Today, EPA is implementing one of its regulatory reform commitments set forth in its June 1, 1995, Report to the President. EPA is taking final action on two proposed rules that modify the extremely hazardous substances (EHS) list and reportable quantities under section 302 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. EPA is raising the statutory reportable quantities (RQs) for 202 EHSs. EPA is also removing four chemicals that do not meet the listing criteria from the EHS list. Through these actions, the Agency is reducing the burden of reporting for facilities presently required to report certain releases unnecessarily. Protection of human health and the environment is maintained while better focusing attention on releases that may require a response by state and/or local authorities.
