Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 92 / Friday, May 11, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 24073

NTTAA directs EPA to provide

Congress, through OMB, explanations

when the Agency decides not to use

available and applicable voluntary

consensus standards.

This action does not involve technical

standards, nor did EPA consider the use

of any voluntary consensus standards.

In general, EPCRA does not prescribe

technical standards to be used for

threshold determinations or completion

of EPCRA section 313 reports. EPCRA

section 313(g)(2) states that ‘‘In order to

provide the information required under

this section, the owner or operator of a

facility may use readily available data

(including monitoring data) collected

pursuant to other provisions of law, or,

where such data are not readily

available, reasonable estimates of the

amounts involved. Nothing in this

section requires the monitoring or

measurement of the quantities,

concentration, or frequency of any toxic

chemical released into the environment

beyond that monitoring and

measurement required under other

provisions of law or regulation.’’

X. Submission to Congress and the

Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

Agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the

Congress and the Comptroller General of

the United States. EPA will submit a

report containing this rule and other

required information to the U.S. Senate,

the U.S. House of Representatives and

the Comptroller General of the United

States prior to publication of the rule in

the Federal Register. This rule is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).
