LIST OF LISTS Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act This consolidated chemical list includes chemicals subject to reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act(EPCRA), also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA),' Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and chemicals listed under section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This consolidated list has been prepared to help firms handling chemicals determine whether they need to submit reports under sections 302 and 313 of EPCRA and determine if releases of chemicals are reportable under CERCLA and section 304 of EPCRA. It will also help firms determine whether they will be subject to accident prevention regulations under CAA section 1.12(r). Separate lists are also provided of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act(RCRA) waste streams and unlisted hazardous wastes, and of radionuclides reportable under CERCLA. These lists should be used as a reference tool, not as a definitive source of compliance information. Compliance information for EPCRA is published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 40 CFR parts 355, 370, and 372. Compliance information for CERCLA is published in 40 CFR part 302 and for CAA section 112(r) is published in 40 CFR part 68. The chemicals on the consolidated list are ordered both by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number and alphabetically. For the list ordered by CAS number, categories of chemicals which generally do not have CAS registry numbers, but which are cited under CERCLA, are placed at the front of the list. EPCRA section 313 categories are placed at the end of the list with their 313 category code. The lists include chemicals referenced under five federal statutory provisions, discussed below. More than one chemical name may be listed for one CAS number because the same chemical may appear on different lists under different names. For example, for CAS number 8001-35-2, the names toxaphene (from the section 313 list), camphechlor (from the section 302 list), and camphene, octachloro- (from the CERCLA list) all appear on this consolidated list. The chemical names on the consolidated lists generally are those names used in the regulatory programs developed under EPCRA, CERCLA, and CAA section 112(r), but each chemical may have other synonyms that do not appear on these lists. (1) EPCRA Section 302 Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) The presence of EHSs in quantities at or above the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ)requires certain emergency planning activities to be conducted. The extremely hazardous substances and their TPQs are listed in 40 CFR part 355, Appendices A and B. For section 302 EHSs,Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) must develop emergency response plans and facility owner or operator must notify the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and LEPC if a chemical is present at the facility or above the EHS's TPQ. Additionally if the TPQ is met, facilities with a listed EHS are 'This consolidated list does not include all chemicals subjectto the reporting requirements in EPCRA sections 311 and 312.The hazardous chemicals,for which material safety data sheets(MSDS)must be developed underthe Hazard Communication Standard(29 CFR 1910.1200), are identified by broad criteria,rather than by enumeration.There are over 500,000 products that satisfy the criteria.See 40 CFR Part 370 for more information.
