National Action Plan for Alkyl-lead; Notice of Availability and Solicitation of Public Comment; Reopening of Comment Period

요약

The US EPA has extended the time period in which it will accept public comments on the National Action Plan for Alkyl-lead. EPA has developed a draft National Action Plan to promote further voluntary reductions of use and exposure to alkyl-lead compounds. Alkyl-lead is used as a fuel additive to reduce "knock" in combustion engines and also to help lubricate internal engine components and protect intake and exhaust valves against recession. This plan was developed pursuant to the Agency's Multimedia Strategy for Priority Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants. This Notice announces the expansion of the availability of the Alkyl-lead National Action Plan for public review and comment.
