{"abstract":"This action announces the availability of data that were submitted to EPA after the comment period closed for the December 6, 1994 proposal on the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This action also solicits additional information on the potential risks of exposure to PCBs, and the use and concentration of PCBs found in certain non-liquid PCB (NLPCB) applications. In the proposal of December 6, 1994, EPA solicited comment on a provision that would authorize the use of certain NLPCB applications (i.e., proposed Sec. 761.30(q)). In addition to authorizing these uses, the proposed provision would have required compliance with several conditions (e.g., notification, marking, air monitoring and standard wipe tests, remediation, repair and/or removal, reporting and recordkeeping requirements). EPA is particularly interested in data regarding the PCB concentration and route(s) of exposure to PCBs found in the NLPCB applications that are the subject of this action and the associated risks of exposure. This action starts a 120-day data submission period which will be followed by an additional 90-day period for public comment on existing and new data submissions. Since EPA may rely on the data submissions that are generated as a result of this action to develop a final rule to authorize the use of these NLPCB applications, the Agency is providing the additional 90-day comment period for parties who are interested in reviewing and commenting on any of the existing or newly submitted data.","action":"Proposed rule; notice of data availability; partial reopening of comment period.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1999/12/10/99-32079.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"761","title":40}],"citation":"64 FR 69358","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2000-07-07","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Data submissions must be received by EPA on or before April 10, 2000.
