[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 120 (Thursday, June 23, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page 0] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-15343] [[Page Unknown]] [Federal Register: June 23, 1994] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Ch. I [FRL-5001-8] Regulatory Agenda AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: EPA's regulatory agenda is published each April and October. It serves as a semiannual summary of, among other things, current and projected rulemakings. The April 1994 regulatory agenda contained an erroneous entry for EPA's pending Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to define the scope of the exemption from reporting and liability for ``federally permitted releases'' under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). This notice corrects the entry in the regulatory agenda. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerain H. Perry, Environmental Protection Agency, Solid Waste and Emergency Response (5202G), Washington, DC 20460, (703) 603-8732. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In EPA's April 1994 regulatory agenda, 59 FR 21042 (April 25, 1994), the NPRM for exemptions for federally permitted releases under CERCLA (RIN 2050-AB82) was inadvertently designated as ``withdrawn.'' See 59 FR at 21155. However, the status has not changed since the October 1993 regulatory agenda was published: The proposal is pending and EPA does not have a definite schedule for issuing a final rule. Therefore, the entry for this NPRM in the April regulatory agenda is corrected to read as follows: 4081. Reporting Exemptions for Federally Permitted Releases of Hazardous Substances Significance: Regulatory Program. Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 9602/CERCLA 102. CFR Citation: 40 CFR 117; 40 CFR 302; 40 CFR 355. Legal Deadline: None. Abstract: This action would clarify the definition of ``federally permitted release'' in Section 101(10) of CERCLA. Federally permitted releases of hazardous substances are exempt from reporting under Section 103 of CERCLA and from CERCLA liability.
