- iii - <br /> (3) CAA Section 112(r)List of Substances for Accidental Release Prevention <br /> Under the accident prevention provisions of section 112(r) of the CAA,EPA developed a list of <br /> 77 toxic substances and 63 flammable substances. Threshold quantities (TQs)were established for <br /> these substances. The list and TQs identify processes subject to accident prevention regulations. The <br /> Est of substances and TQs and the requirements for risk management programs for accidental release <br /> prevention are found in 40 CFR part 68. This consolidated list includes both the common name for <br /> each listed chemical under section 112(r) and the chemical name, if different from the common name, <br /> as separate listings. <br /> The CAA section 112(r) list includes several substances in solution that are covered only in <br /> concentrations above a specified level. These substances include ammonia (concentration 20% or <br /> greater)(CAS number 7664-41-7); hydrochloric acid(37% or greater)(7647-01-0); hydrogen <br /> fluoride/hydrofluoric acid (50% or greater)(7664-39-3); and nitric acid (80% or greater) (7697-37-2). <br /> Hydrogen chloride (anhydrous) and ammonia (anhydrous) are listed, in addition to the solutions of <br /> these substances,with different TQs. Only the anhydrous form of sulfur dioxide (7446-09-5) is <br /> covered. These substances are presented on the consolidated list with the concentration limit or <br /> specified form (e.g., anhydrous), as they are listed under CAA section 112(r). Flammable fuels used as <br /> a fuel or held for sale as a fuel at a retail facility are not subject to the rule. <br /> TQ. The CAA section 112(r) TQ column in the consolidated list shows the TQs (in pounds) for <br /> chemicals listed for accidental release prevention. The TQ applies to the quantity of substance in a <br /> process,not at the facility as a whole. <br /> (4) EPCRA Section 313 Toxic Chemicals <br /> Emissions, transfers, and waste management data for chemicals listed under section 313 must <br /> be reported annually as part of the community right-to-know provisions of EPCRA(40 CFR part 372). <br /> Section 313. The notation "313" in the column for section 313 indicates that the chemical is <br /> subject to reporting under section 313 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act under the name <br /> listed. In cases where a chemical is listed under section 313 with a second name in parentheses or <br /> brackets,the second name is included on this consolidated list with an"V in the section 313 column. <br /> An"X' in this column also may indicate that the same chemical with the same CAS number appears <br /> on another list with a different chemical name. Since the last updating of the list in November 1998,. a <br /> number of reporting thresholds have changed. These include reporting thresholds for 1.8 chemicals that <br /> meet the EPCRA section 313 criteria for persistence and bioaccumulation, as well as lead and lead <br /> compounds (except lead contained in stainless steel, brass, and bronze alloys). Chemicals that have had <br /> reporting thresholds changed are marked with a"^' symbol on the list. The revised thresholds are <br /> listed at the end of this section. <br /> Diisocyanates, Dioxins andDioxin-like Compounds, andPACs. In the November 30, 1994, <br /> expansion of the section 31.3 list, 20 speck chemicals were added as members of the diisocyanate <br /> category, and 19 specific chemicals were added as members of the polycyclic aromatic compounds <br /> (PAC)category. In October 1999, EPA added a category of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds that <br /> includes 17 specific chemicals. These chemicals are included in the CAS order listing on this <br /> consolidated list. The symbol "#" following the "313" notation in the section 313 column identifies <br /> diisocyanates, the symbol "!" identifies the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and the symbol "+" <br />
