Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Notice of On-Line Dialogue; Extension of Comment Period

Resumo

This notice announces that EPA is extending the comment period for the stakeholder dialogue by 30 days until February 4, 2004. The comment period for this stakeholder dialogue was initially scheduled to close on January 5, 2004. Because of a request for additional time to gather and incorporate data into comments, the Agency is extending the comment period for 30 days. EPA has revised Appendix B of the Stakeholder Dialogue on Burden Reduction Options white paper to reflect the latest TRI data. Further, some of the data in those columns listed as percentages contained decimal values and have been corrected. In addition, two new Tables have been added to Appendix B to show the impact on the number of forms and facilities affected by modifying the waste management activities included in the annual reportable amount threshold for Form A Certification Statement eligibility. The revised Appendix B has been posted as a separate document on the docket and on the TRI Web site. Instructions for participating in the on-line dialogue are posted at EPA's TRI Web site at http://www.epa.gov/tri/ programs/stakeholders/outreach.htm.
