Changes

Acrolein

Benzene
Testing
These
chemicals
were
either
not
detected
at
all
or
were
detected
were
in
a
very
small
percentage
of
tests
(
all
less
than
5%),
and
that
number
of
small
positives
is
expected
in
a
large
dataset.
See
analysis
entitled
"
Evaluation

for
further
details.

We're
waiting
for
the
EPA
technical
reply,
in
the
meantime
­
here
is
the
suggested
rule
language
that
would
make
the
appropriate
changes:

still
need
that
contractor
response
on
the
benzene/

that
you
promised
last

otherwise
recommend
that
EPA
modify
table

according
to
the
technical
analysis
showing
that
benzene
and
acrolein
are
not
detected
in
all
processes,
based
on

own

s
expectation
that
lookup
analyses
will
be
reviewed
within
30
days;
tiered
analyses
within
60
days
to
determine
if
more
information
is
required.
Expect
approvals
within
90
days
of
receiving
all
appropriate
information
14
months
is
a
rather
short
deadline
­
EPA
won't
need
all
this
time.
The
expectations
in
the
guidance
will
help
provide
incentives
for
early
submission
without
Mike
Thrift's
legal
problem
of
tying
the
agency
to
a
deadline.
