EPA proposed that regulated flammable hydrocarbon substances need not be considered in determining whether more than a threshold quantity is present when the substance is intended for use as a fuel and does not exceed 67,000 pounds in a process that is not manufacturing the fuel, does not contain greater than a threshold quantity of another regulated substance, and is not collocated or interconnected to another covered process. The public comment period for this proposal is extended until July 28, 1999. The workgroup will advise the PPDC on ways to make information on pesticide inert ingredients more available to the public while working within the mandates of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the related Confidential Business Information concerns. Nominations are due by July 21. Unless a request is withdrawn, the Agency will approve these use deletions, and the deletions will become effective on December 20, 1999.
