Environmental guidance regulatory bulletin
On November 30, 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added 286 chemicals and chemical categories to the list of toxic chemicals subject to reporting under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and Section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). In adding these new chemicals and chemical categories, EPA has exercised its authority to add chemicals based on their acute human health effects, carcinogenicity or other chronic human health effects, and/or their adverse effects on the environment. Most of these being added to the Toxic Chemical release Inventory (TRI) are pesticides. Facilities, including DOE facilities must begin reporting these newly listed chemicals and chemical categories in the 1995 calendar year.
